Undercover: Operation Wintersun giveaway

Giligan · 09-01-2007, 09:35 AM

So I answered the questions to the giveaway, entered my email, and clicked on the "submit" button. However, a page then came up saying "You have already entered in this contest. If you win, you will be notified by email."

However, unless the evil contest-entering gnomes have been sneaking onto my computer at night (unlikely

), I'm not entered. What do I need to do, here? I don't want to be disqualified for multiple entries, but I want a novelty baseball cap. Help!

***Jackal*** · 09-01-2007, 10:10 AM

Hmm, yeah, I'll look into it.

***Jackal*** · 09-01-2007, 10:44 AM

It may be a while before the problem can be fixed, so I've pulled the contest in the meantime. When it's restored, rest assured that no one will be penalized for multiple (failed) attempts to enter originally.

Giligan · 09-01-2007, 10:55 AM

Thanks, I appreciate it.

***Jackal*** · 09-01-2007, 11:09 AM

If you blinked, you probably missed the contest disappearing, but it's been fixed and restored now.

(Thanks to tabacco for saving the day.)

Jelena · 09-01-2007, 11:51 AM

I got the same message as Gil got when clicking the submit button.
Please help. I'd kill for that cap!

*Melanie68* · 09-01-2007, 11:54 AM

Had you tried earlier before it got taken down?

Jelena · 09-01-2007, 11:56 AM

No, I've tried once.

*Melanie68* · 09-01-2007, 11:59 AM

For troubleshooting purposes, what browser are you using (this goes to Giligan too)?

Jelena · 09-01-2007, 12:00 PM

Microsoft IE

***Jackal*** · 09-01-2007, 12:14 PM

Who would you kill? That could be worth it to us.

(But in the meantime, we'll try to get that taken care of.)

***tabacco*** · 09-01-2007, 12:20 PM

Try it again?

Trumgottist · 09-01-2007, 12:42 PM

For what it's worth, it worked without a problem for me (before Jackal's "try it again"-post).

(I'm not in the contest, though. I picked the obvious wrong answers. I thought them funny, so I just had to do it.)

***tabacco*** · 09-01-2007, 01:00 PM

You may want to try it again, actually. I had to clear out the very few responses that were in there (<5)

Trumgottist · 09-01-2007, 01:11 PM

I unchecked the mailing list checkbox, btw. (I visit AG often enough that I don't need you to send me mail - I get the news anyway.) Could that maybe have something to do with how my attempt worked, but not the others? I'm guessing either that, or only wrong answers got through.

Anyway, I now have the luxury of answering the questions correctly, too! (Answering incorrectly was funny once. Doing it twice would have lost the joy.)

Edit: That worked.

MSN 9.

So should I enter the contest again, or is it all taken care of?

***Jackal*** · 09-01-2007, 06:53 PM

Go ahead and enter again just to be sure. If it's already registered your entry, it won't let you submit another. (I'm sure you'll recognize the message you get if you try.

)

Jelena · 09-01-2007, 11:35 PM

I entered again and this time it worked.

Catbert · 09-02-2007, 07:22 AM

What are the countries available for this? I didn't see them listed anywhere.

***Jackal*** · 09-02-2007, 07:34 AM

No country restrictions.
