Escape from Nightmare Mansion. Win an XBOX 360 with Kinect!

[OneBig Man]

So to my understanding, it is just luck on how good you do?

Looks to be.

So, like the El Shaddai game last month, clicking on a badge in another's profile refreshes the page. Unlike El Shaddai, no points were recorded for me in my standing. Is that happening to anyone else? I got my 5 points so far by clicking on the first room 5 times in the Mansion. The 6th click told me I ran into a new room, which I am assuming I will get to click on tomorrow.

Uggg, it is way too late to be doing this right now...

Inclined to agree with you on the "too late" part. Perhaps there will be more clarification later in the morning, when everyone (including the moderators) aren't dead on their feet.

I'm in the same boat pretty much, I got 5 points, wasn't able to do anything else, and I've been finding and even bookmarking all the profiles with badges I've clicked, got a good 60+ or something, and haven't gotten a single point past my initial 5, so I'm wondering if you have that little of a chance of "defeating" the monster badges, or if there is something wrong with it at the moment, or maybe that part of the contest just isn't active yet, I'm not sure. But I see these people with 20 points and wonder did they just get that amazingly lucky with the mansion, or are they actually getting points? Hopefully we will find out tomorrow.

 

[Vamantha]

I really hope this whole thing isn't completely luck based. That would be no fun at all. :<

 

[Alphakirby]

Hopefully they'll just reset the score or something- let us do some beta testing now and start the game at a later date?

A few people are getting around a dozen points already, I am wondering if this is normal or not. I know this is one of these games with limited actions every day but it should be clearer about what we can still do and what we have accomplished so far. Echo Bazaar did this well. Here, I have no idea if everything is glitching or if this is normal but poorly explained.

It's normal,if you happen to be fighting lots of monsters,you'll get a point and an extra click everytime you kill a monster.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I got to the second room, and now I'm back in the first--with the first introductory message.

Meh, it's not like I have any chance to win.

Americanitis strikes again. No export for Europeans/Asians/Australians.

 

[JediMB]

I keep reading the thread title as "Escape from Nightmare Moon. Win an XBOX 360 with Kinect!"

It's driving me crazy. CRAZY, I tells ya.

Crazy with ponies.

 

[tippy2k2]

Can we pretty please have someone who knows something about the game comment on this (How about s0osleepie, any information or are you just the messenger)? It seems like no one knows if the game is playing right (I myself played last night and came back this morning after thinking it glitched out).

Are we supposed to just click the little room until luck tells us we go to another room? Once in this other room, is it supposed to disappear and put you back in the original room (that's where I'm at and it sounds like I'm not the only one who moved back)? Are we supposed to have those special badges that give you extra points yet?

 

[New Troll]

So is this game just based off extremely good luck or am I missing something?

 

[silent_J]

First post, new account.. Yeah.

From your own words you had nothing new to tell anyone. What I requested was perfectly fine in that sense, since you obviously are not part of the production team for this event, and know as little as those of us who can actually read.

And yes, new account, seeing as how I've never registered before. If I had an old account I'd have posted on that one, but no.

I didn't seem to get any points for the first room. I wasn't aware it was giving out 5 points? Well that sucks..

Shipping isn't the problem. It's every country having different laws when it comes down to doing contests, raffles etc that is the problem.

It's less about legal matters and more about the corporate structure.

This particular contest is, but why exactly is every single contest done by American branches?

Rest assured, we always have our entire community in mind when creating events and are ALWAYS looking for ways to include everyone. This is why we try to make contests a fun experience and open for participation to residents of ALL countries. Unfortunately, where we can ship prizes is not our choice to make when it comes to sponsored events, but we are always working to find ways to make contests that have prizes for everyone.

 

[Omega Scythe]

Well, I woke up, and still nothing. Still stuck at that first screen with nothing to click on and with zero points. And clicking on badges still doesn't do anything except refresh the page. Somehow I expected as much.

Thanks for the reply, wasn't really expecting one. But that's good to hear.

I hope we'll see some contests with international prizes in the future then, if at all possible it might be worth considering indie games, beta keys and that sort of stuff, that seems a lot more common in international contests.

But it's not like you should turn down sponsorship offers for NA-only contests, that'd be a bit ridiculous.

But again, thanks for the reply.

Anytime! I can assure you that we do not turn down any sponsorship offers and actively work towards procuring them on a daily basis, whether they be NA companies or international ones. We always have out entire community in mind in everything we do.

Sorry for the late replies on the rest of the concerns raised in this thread. It is a holiday weekend. I am working on addressing them now and will be back with a reply shortly.

 

[s0osleepie]

Meh, not too fond of the 'put your real address/information here BEFORE you win anything' deal. Always afraid of that 'selling your info' shtick, especially when there's no 'click here to prevent us from doing so'. Sega clearly gets much more out of us than we do in return..

Hello, everyone! Many apologies on the late reply due to the holiday weekend. It does appear that the monster badge potion of the event is not working correctly. It should be adding or subtracting points from your score depending on the outcome of your encounter. It is currently not doing either. Our IT team is actively working on determining the problem and fixing it.

Rest assured that it is not working for EVERYONE. This means that no one is operating on an unfair advantage. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. I will let you know as soon as this problem is fixed.

I have read through the forums and PMs I received the past two days and realize that there is some confusion on certain portions of the event. I shall attempt address those issues and re-clarify them in a follow-up post. Thank you for your patience and participation!!
