Nope. It's random three people form the Leader Board.

Everyone in the top 20 has a chance at an xbox. First doesn't mean anything different from 20th.

Must get to top 20, but the people with badges are so hard to find now. Also, the +1 followed immediately by -1 is just about the biggest tease ever when it happens 8 times in a row. Hoping for a good mansion day tomorrow when the room movement resets.

Oh, I hate when that happens. You find a badge and earn a point (YAY!). Find another badge and you lose a point (Cries).

I got decently lucky tonight, 12 points from the mansion, monster killing followed by a survivor, much happier about that than yesterday. *first click, you flee from a monster you didn't even see*

Yeah I've been seeing alot of new accounts come up with the badges but was willing to give the benefit of doubt to them. Of course now that you have pointed this out and sort of stroked my paranoia, I'm not sure what to think.

*Puts on tinfoil hat* No... They're all robots!

But in all seriousness, I had an iffy feeling something like that would happen. It's hard to tell though since I'm assuming a bunch of people are signing up just for the competition.

.. I think there's something fishy going on. Call me paranoid or crazy, but since I have been going all over the place and beforehand looking for Users with Badges, I actually noticed something pretty shocking and odd today on September 7th of 2011.


On the Leaderboard, it shows two Users who've managed to click on over 40 Users along with playing the mansion game (room opens once a day). Now, these Users joined around 10:20 - 10:30 Pm because i've checked the Users who join The Escapist and a new one comes every 3 to 4 minutes (seriously, new ones come around all the time). I think someone, or some people.. are making multiple accounts or doing something to get quick points. That's just me, hope I am wrong.
I don't know about the eviltome fellow, but as for Ravsters, hes actually a friend of mine I told about the contest earlier tonight and he was intrigued, I don't think hes doing anything sneaky, but you should remember not only can you get really lucky with the mansion, but there is an easy 40 profiles right there on the leaderboards. But anyhow, just thought I would mention that.

I perfectly understand that and think it's really cool of the User to of pulled off lucky chances like that- but my concern was that him and the other User got so many points in less then 10 - 15 minutes after they joined this website. I don't mind Users joining just to enter the contest, what I do mind is if (not accusing your friend) somehow Users can alter the points to go rapid or take advantage of the contest in a 'cheap' way. That's all I am getting at.

I understand the concern, Its not like you were saying "BURN THE WITCH!" Or anything of the sort, I just wanted to put it out there that I do know the person and all that and just wanted to point out that it is pretty easily possibly to get a large chunk of points in a short span of time since this contest is more luck based than the previous. Not to mention not nearly as popular it seems as the el Shaddai, or maybe its just my imagination. But the numbers aren't going up nearly as high nor as fast as they did with the previous contest and I think thats just because people are turned off by the luck based part, or just worn out from the fact that the el shaddai contest was just last month.

Anyways, different topic entirely, you get a chance to play your copy yet? I beat it and loved it, lol.

Seriously, I absolutely loved the visuals and the flow of the game/combat, Lucifel was awesome too XD. I loved that they were able to do something that felt really original and Unique though, I mean yea, you can find a lot of the gameplay elements in all sorts of games, but the setting, art, and style, they at least feel unique anyways. I dunno if you got to this part yet or not, but I wish we found out more about Bariel I think his name was.

I've never seen this OP before, nice to meet you!

Also, damn the stupid US only rule. There's never a competition for us Kiwis!
well, i cant enter the contest either and as it's made by a developer that does not want my money so the likely hood of me getting it is pretty-much 0 too

cool contest tho, i'd like to see more like that in the future, a game be-gets a game.. it's almost poetic

Oh man- no wonder The Escapist sponsored the El Shaddai game.. it's the most artistic and well crafted game ever made. I'm serious, the scenery, the trippy flow of combat along with the plot alone.. .it's like, the producers took gaming to a whole new level on 'Games are art'. Loved it, haven't beaten it.. but I am planning on to. Also love how you can purify weapons and that you're always going through amazing places with such.. .. original settings you know?
I've got to get me a new PS3 so I can play my copy! I loaned it to my best friend and he loved it too.

Had a *much* better run tonight, was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get into a room and click more than once!

Must be an off-day. Clicked on a dozen profiles or so with a net loss of -1. And after I worked so hard last night.

This is interesting but I don't get how people already have over 100 points...I mean this wasn't up on the front page at all til today. I guess the people in the VIP club got first dibs at doing this.
I promise that we try our best to ensure no one is given an unfair advantage. We even keep an eye out for cheaters and try to squish them.

Oh, hai! It's a pleasure! :D

Now if you could just make it so that badges that you have already clicked on say something other then you have lost a point I'll be happy and not overly stressed that i lost another point in my slow decline.
Sorry about all the stress! (hehe) Thank you for the feedback and we?ll keep this in mind as a feature to add in future events.

Hmm, the leaderboard currently has me in 39th and 42nd place at the same time. I guess I'm not going to win two Xboxes.

Thank you both for the heads up and feedback :) We are always monitoring for cheaters and appreciate any information that we might miss or misconstrue. All cheaters will be disqualified after a thorough review. Because this event was designed to be an overall experience for the community PLUS a game, there seems to be less incentive or reward in cheating.
