Also, what happens if there's like a 21-way tie or something like that, out of curiousity?
I don't know when, but the rules seem to have changed. So long as you are one of the 20 on the leader board, you will be randomly chosen for one of three systems and one of ten games.

The 21st person, would be ignored. The leader board compares a tie, but gives the slot to the newest person to get that slot. So if two should be tied for first, the first place would go to whoever got there last.
The rules never changed on the matter of distributing the prize. I read the whole page from day one, and a few hours in. The instructions portion was altered for clarification, however.

Is anyone else getting a suprising increase in incidence of hits-per-userpage? Either that, or the G's and H'es really like badges...
I shouldn't have started backwards. >.<

Pretty sure its just certain areas, I noticed I got like 50ish in a few hours because they were clustered together, then later, got next to nothing for a few hours.

Still didn't get an answer Is this limited to the top 20 leaderboard or will it be every one that gained a point?

Those who are on the Leaderboard are the only ones enabled to earn a prize.
- 3 Users will get the grand prize (Xbox 360 or PS3) with El Shaddai game, poster and t-shirt.
- 7 Users will get the secondary prizes will get just the El Shaddai game, poster and t-shirt.

Has to be the top 20 and Users will be chosen at random. Those who aren't there spite how high their points are, shall not obtain a chance period. I do hope this answers your question my friend.
Wow...Really? no wonder people were creating autoclick programs for this contest there is literally no way get a chance to win it unless you spend 12 hours a day on this website.

And whats funny is you just get a chance there is no guarantee...Horrible horrible contest.

I like the way this contest went more than others, I didnt spend 12 hours a day on here, and was able to get a good way up the leader boards, and its a better chance to win than most contests where hundreds, if not thousands of people enter, and only 1 or 2 get chosen at random, I know its still random, but I still have a better chance of winning with this style of contest. And those that did make the autoclick programs are most likely disqualified, so they just sorta wasted their time.

Hey guys, you want to track down people with one of these badges and then click it.
I signed up on the contest page twice and i have clicked on every badge on other peoples pages several times and nothing. I still don't have one fallen. It's like i never signed up, but i know you guys have my info on a DB somewhere twice. How do I make it work?

Edit: OK, now i signed up a third time using a different email address, still nothing. The page refreshes like it did something, but no, no it did nothing. (my first two attempts were a few days ago, I have waited until usual badge time, still nothing)

Well everyone... what are your reasons?
I dont have either consoles, so when i heard about this contest from my friend, I was like why not? But id prefer the PS3 over the Xbox because it could connect to the internet right? And like my dad always wanted a Blu-ray player... On the otherhand my friends all have the xbox... SOO, i dont know?

But yeah, just wanted to say hi to everyone. And wish them the best.
Welcome to the forum! :D

Xbox 360 can connect to the internet too, no problem. But if you want a blu-ray you hafta go PS3. Depends on the games that are available on it really, which one you choose.

It's a chance, but it's a good chance. Something like 15% chance of a console, 35% of a game - I think making it random out of the 20 means that people aren't super obsessing about getting up the board. And it's not 12 hours a day, definitely. If you're good at picking how you look for the angels, it's totally possible. I had a couple slow days at work, so I probably ended up with two days of 6 hours, one of 3, and then just some spare time. And the days at work were with a pretty horrible computer. =)

Same here - I'm assuming they're getting hit pretty hard what with it being the last day...

If you're just going to go "sour grapes" on something, don't post.

And considering the hundreds of users with badges, I'd say the participation they've gotten is pretty successful!

I assume the fifth badge is for those who are on the Leaderboard by the end of the 7th day, which is today.

This is one of the better contests I've been in actually. Most contests I have a .0001% chance of winning or I really do have to spend 12+ hours a day on the website and my chances will still be horrible. This one I have only had to spend anywhere from 3-5 hours a day and I'm currently ranked 5th on the Leaderboards. Yes it's still random but I have a 50% chance of winning a prize. And a 15% chance at a console is a much better chance then most contests I've entered. Lady Luck rarely smiles on me but at least I feel slightly better with a 15% chance.

I would enjoy more contests like this. Heck I'd just need to enter contests like this 7 times and I'd pretty much be guaranteed a console.

I'm glad to see my posting rights have been returned. I'm very upset about being banned for a while for something I did not do.

In any case, the contest is almost over so that's a relief. Looking at profiles all day to get that high is tiring on the eyes. Best of luck to all in the contest!

My sentiments exactly. I'm not going to want to look at another profile for a couple of weeks after this is over.

Will the people who get disqualified be removed from the leader-board to allow other legitimate users into the top 20?
Yes. We will make sure the leaderboard is adjusted no later than prior to determining winners. It is taking us time to adjust the leaderboard because we don?t want to remove people unfairly without a full review.
Erana said:

Anyone tied for last place will be included in the drawing. Since the leaderboard is based on points, but then ranked based on age of account, we have determined that this would be the fairest solution for everyone. Next event, we will try to make the leaderboard larger in order to give participants a clearer view of community placing.

The 5th badge will not be limited to participants who are on the Leaderboard. I don't want to spoil the surprise though :)

Is the contest over? I've been clicking on badges for the better part of half an hour now and my 205 on the leaderboard hasn't changed. The rules state that the contest isn't over until 11:59 EDT though. Just wondering 'cause I would like to know if I can stop now =P

Yeah I think it might be over. All the ads for it on the front page are gone. They may have just decided to end it early or something so they can start sorting out if they are going to kick some of us from the leaderboard for any possible cheating.
