Heylo everyone,
I made an Old Spice Challenge solely for forum members of this site. The time period is two weeks and the prize is going to be $50 Best Buy card.
Here are the rules:
1 - You must be a member of this forum
2 - Your gamer score must be above 20,000.
3 - I would prefer if people did not use Avatar in this challenge but I can't control what games you play.
http://www.360voice.com/join/C4WZJI92
Once we have at least 10 members in the challenge that meet the requirements, I will start it.

I have used up my 2006 titles already, at least the ones that only have like 5 or 6 achievements total and give you 1k in under an hour.

Its two weeks long and the winner gets a $50 gift card for Best Buy. So far 5 people have entered. We need 10 to get it started.

If there are no objections, Burner110 has asked if he can join even though he is not quite 20k. We still lack a couple of people.

Since you changed your gamer tag, that might affect your log in name. Maybe try using your other tag (not sure which one you were trying to use to log in).
iJohn
01-14-2008, 12:41 AM
Yeah Turbo. I changed my tag, contacted them, and they transfered all my info. Good gys there. It is in their FAQ on what happens when you change your GT.

Turbo VDuB 44
01-14-2008, 08:40 PM
I can get 2 but they are below 20K, they won't play avatar or any of the 2k6 games. If everyone is alright with that.

Hey Antilucid, I just changed the name of the thread and stuck it for you. Hope this helps get you more members involved. I'd join, but I'm not really into it right now.
antilucid
01-14-2008, 09:02 PM
Thanks. You could always join and let someone else win. :rolleyes:
Turbo, if no one else minds, that would be fine with me.

Oh come on lazy. Just email them and you get a response in under an hour. I had to yesterday.
We are 2 people short now and i'm trying to get my 2 friends to join it. Let's get this rolling by midnight.

Well I signed up Turbo. I did however see that lucid said that the participants have to have a 20k gs. Does that still hold true?

Who do I message? Nevermind, I did it already...
Lucid, if I get my response back I'll sign up...

I believe mail@360voice.com is it.

01-14-2008, 10:14 PM
We've got 10, but if you want in Rocket, i'll tell one of my 2 guys to drop. He only has 4K and isn't that big into it so he won't mind.
Anti-Start this tonight cuz I can only game from now til Saturday...then who knows haha..
Rocket
01-14-2008, 10:20 PM
Meh, if you got 10, then I don't need to play...
Turbo VDuB 44
01-14-2008, 10:25 PM

No it's ok man, I just grabbed him as a filler spot to get this ball rolling cuz we didnt know what kind of turnout we would get.
antilucid
01-15-2008, 12:30 AM
Ok. I set it to launch at midnight tonight PST.
Blind Rage
01-15-2008, 12:55 AM
Well even if you get Rocket you can keep the other guy...
Turbo VDuB 44
01-15-2008, 04:41 AM
Sorry Rocket. I'm sure we'll be running another one very shortly:D
Tha being said, NO AVATAR. It's a cheap 1000. I'll allow 2K6 shit (even tho I hate them), but you need to play for at least a few hours for 1000 pts, not 2 mins 40 seconds....Everyone else agree? Let's try and set that rule in place, otherwise guys like Tripl and I will have almost no shot....
NATERZ
01-15-2008, 02:29 PM
I agree turbo. It's not like I am going to win this but it should be fare for everyone doing it.
antilucid
01-15-2008, 03:23 PM
It sounds fine to me. Even with NHL 2k6, that game took me awhile. Stupid penalty shots... :p

My internetz is down at my place. But I am still playing games, offline though. There was a power surge around my area yesterday and I think my modem got fired. The company has to come over and look at it in the upcoming days.
Just thought I would let everyone know that is in the competition so you guys don't think I signed up and then bailed out. It really sucks that my internetz is down too.:censored:

01-16-2008, 05:16 PM
Bring a memory card over to my place and pop it in my Xbox with ur GT on it so it will at least update your score.

My internetz is working now:D
So I will update my score later tonight.
Thanks for the offer turbo. I appreciate it bro:)

I need to show my ignorance for a quick second...how does this contest work? I know I'm not eligible, but I wanted to know more about it and whether or not people actually get these rewards. It seems legit, but has anyone here personally gotten any rewards in the past?
I did check on the 360voice site for info on how these things run, but missed an important piece of info. Is there an ending GS?
They tell you the:
1) # of required participants to start, 10
2) Length of time the contest will run, 14 days
But is there not an end GS? I participated in the 1st Old Spice Challenge (sponsored by MS)...the way it ran was you need to get XX amount of GS in this XX amount of time.
The way 360voice runs this contest looks like you need to be the person with the most amount of new GS at the end of 14 days?
Is that right or am I missing something?
Turbo VDuB 44
01-16-2008, 11:05 PM
The person with the biggest gain wins. I was in a 30 day one with 15 people for $100 and there was Stallion (182K) and a few others well over that mark, and the guy who won started with 21 and finished with 37K. It's the biggest gain, not the most overall points.
This IS legit, as I know people who have won and have gotten their rewards. Once this one is over, Anti or I will be running another one for anyone else who wants to join.
The only requirements from this website are that you have a Gold account and are a member of the United States. Start or end GS doesn't matter. The number of people can change and is set by the person running it. You can run it with 5 people for $25 or 15 people for $100 but then the length changes too. 15 people runs 30 days, whereas 5 people runs 7 days..
Hope that answered your Qs.

I won a one week challenge but it says 6-8 weeks to receive your prize and its been about a month. I talked to Trapper a couple of days ago and he said the reason why it takes so long is that the sponsors want to verify the win and a bunch of other stuff. Probably to make sure its not like 1 person with 5 or 10 gold accounts perhaps. I don't know.

Man, I'm going to get so raped in this challenge. I have a few games, but not any that I can pop out any easy points, but I like the challenge. I'll give it my best try.
Turbo, can you send me a message on live to let me know when it does it started??

Cool, thx. That did answer my question.
It's biggest GS gain in XX time frame...NOT a race to increase your GS by XX amount. (as it was in the very first MS sponsored Old Spice Challenge)
Thx again :D

Well my f-ing internet is still down. It worked for like a day and then it went down last night at like 8pm. Someone is supposed to come and check the line outside or something later today. I am hoping to get it back soon. I am having withdrawls from it.
As far as updating my score, if they don't get it fixed today, I will go over to either Turbos, Mavrens, or Vkeepers place and update it there. I have gotten more points. Nothing close to Turbos or lucid but nonetheless I have increased.
This is such:censored::censored::censored: that my internet isn't working.
No XBOX Live and no x3h is making me very pissed off!!!:mad:

Just made it. I had a long list to choose from. I was particularly interested in the 8000 MS Points and the HD-DVD Player. I picked the $100 for Best Buy though because it is much more valuable price wise than the points, and the HD-DVD may not appeal to many.
