I'm going to recommend the standard tricks.Blazingdragoon04 said:
1. Try a different browser. If you're using IE, try to toggle compatibility mode (little image of a torn sheet to the right of the url)
2. Clear your cache, refresh the Introduction page.
3. Begin sacrificing gummy bears to the Gods of the internet.
4. Try updating your browser/flash/everything.
5. Upgrade to sacrificing snickers and nerd candy.
6. Try to do it from a different computer.
7. Build a computer in minecraft to sign up for you.
8. Use the power of self-hypnosis to convince yourself everything worked.
9. Realize hypnosis didn't work, check with the technical staff again.
Hi! When I click the undead monster badge it just reloads this forum page instead of offering me any kind of fight or anything. Am I doing something wrong or is something broken?
I just reread the fine print-s0osleepie said:Thank you for noticing the improvements we made based on feedback from prior events!! We make sure to review all feedback and constructive criticism from the community and try to improve each community event based on them. Above everything else, we want these events to be a fun interactive event that adds to the community experience on The Escapist. As we attempt to grow these events in size and complexity for your enjoyment, we will not always get it 100% right 100% of the time. But I can assure you, we are always trying our hardest to do soErana said:
anyone who entered has a chance of getting the secondary prize?
Meaning that the top 20 only has a 1/6⅓ chance of getting anything?
This and the fact that you may or may not actually get the points you get rubs me the wrong way a bit- Out of curiousity, what drove the decision to make the opportunities for points so arbitrary?
I mean, unless there's a specific reason for it, I'm all for going back to the instant gratification of "you get what you click" in the next event like this.
I started off fine, but then it just kind of.... froze up. I am at a part that says, "You enter what appears to be an operating theater, complete with gleaming scalpels and saws. The next patient is woozy, but otherwise unharmed. You scoop them up and flee. You see a door open" and nothing I do will allow it to progress further... am I doing something wrong?
Something similar happened to me last night when I was exploring the mansion. I found someone and saved them, then I went into the next room and wasn't able to click anymore. I saw in the rules that if you save someone in the mansion, then you get a point, but are not able to click anymore. The only way to be able to click more than once is if you kill a monster, it seems. (Unfortunately, I saved that person om my first click, so I only got one point in the last mansion run...)Riff Moonraker said:
As stated in the rules on the front page directly above sign-up, only residents of the United States of America can win the prize. The long form legal, which is the second section you are referring to, was written to be slightly more inclusive in case we were able to include Canada in this prize offering. I apologize if this caused any confusion.RagnaThePig said:
Canada in particular is more than just a mere shipping issue. Canada requires many labels on consumer packaging to be in BOTH English AND French. If the package of a prize that is mailed to us was created for the US, many times it is in English only, thus baring us from shipping it to many provinces in Canada. It is a major reason video game and movie releases are delayed in Canada and it is the same reason why we must exclude shipping prizes to Canada as well if that game is also being sold their by the corporate sponsor. You may find this law outlined on Canada's Competition Bureau's website, found here [http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/01248.html]XT inc said:
Every country has very specific international shipment and contest legality laws. While I shall not detail the laws of each country, there are some common international requirements that we have all witnessed that is being overlooked. For example, as you all know, video game release dates vary by country and many countries have their own rating agencies that must be included (ESRB vs PEGI). Countries like Germany require the color of blood in video games to be green, disallowing importation of UK or NA versions that use red as the color of blood. DVDs are country coded and will only work in certain regions. Sometimes we are provided the prize and a computer purchased here might not have the correct electricity plug to work in a country elsewhere. These are just a few common known examples, let alone all the reasons we can find by combing through the rules and regulations of each country. Lastly, as explained in this post [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.310972-Escape-from-Nightmare-Mansion-Win-an-XBOX-360-with-Kinect?page=3#12590362], sometimes the reason is simply corporate structure, which only allows a specific corporate branch to run promotions and advertising in specific countries. As I am sure you can see, we have no control over any of this.
You are not doing anything wrong. As explained in detail in this post, everyone's experience shall be different. Discovering the next room will end your experience for that day and you will be able to continue exploring the mansion in search of an exit at 12:00AM EDT the next day.weatherfn said:
We went ahead and added the action to redirect you to the Mansion page tell you whether you gained or lost a point. Hope this helps in your mission!RagnaThePig said:
The gods of the internet have abandoned me... I can not sign up for the contest, and support refuses to get back to me. Clearly there is only one solution...Selerik said:
*Heads to Greece*
Some people have gotten very lucky with the daily mansion tour and others like me have gotten lucky with badge hunting. When you click on the "Undead Monster" badge you have a chance to lose a point or gain a point. The event is very luck based.Jaezel said:
