Meh... failed to win anything on this one. Probably from playing early morning times, rather than after the start of most work and school hours during weekdays. In the meanwhile, I noticed the king was in milwaukee (by way of chicago), which most likely means that grinning, plastic-headed freak...

You know, what are the chances that Microsoft will *tweak* the contest after it ends, giving everyone that at least tried once every day a kinect unit. In the end, Microsoft would stand to profit way more by guaranteeing themselves a kinect installation in the household of every known interest...

More fun while you wait... professional CAPTCHA defeating botnet works for scalpers! - http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/11/20/1950257/Scalpers-Bought-Tickets-With-CAPTCHA-Busting-Botnet Anyway, it seems these guys won't be using it for a while. Anyone want to rent it for the week? (I'll start...

Well, still nothing yet. Though I've been intentionally going after the last 5 minutes of the 15 minute period I've been playing within. Ultimately, I have reached this conclusion... your best bet is to simply choose a particular minute within a single 15 minute period and play the same one in...

So, has anyone Found the King, yet? I'm getting worried he might crawl out from the deepest, darkest shadows of the parking lot nearby just as I'm getting into the car around 2am. Not so much for my own safety, but that I might accidentally shank the poor guy, causing him to drop my precious...

And for those of us still waiting for a win... some brief entertainment: Apparently, there are a few conspiracy nuts out there who believe that devices like the Kinect and Playstation Move may be used for spying on you ala 1984, using our game consoles as the entry point: -...

Actually the way I've seen it suggests the 6th to 12th minute to be the more likely hotzones and not at zero second for that particular minute. Basically, the less *neatly* divisible the numbers in your timing, the more likely you'll hit the target. Grunge up the entry spread a bit and see if...

The idea of playing only on the "whole minute" change (transition from hh:mm:59 to hh:mm:00) is probably a pointless endeavor. If the contest software works like most other web-based software, it only runs when someone is accessing it, as a point of efficiency. So, that probably means the 15...

A thought has just occured to me... Can you really be sure these guys who rush to announce their "win" early in a 15 minute span are actually telling the truth? It seems like this would be a great way to cull out some competition by convincing a very large group of people not to play during...

Well, mobile is working again... and thankfully it didn't invalidate my entries for today in the time it wasn't responding. I'd post my codes, but from the looks of it, it seems the individual codes aren't nearly as important as the timing of when they're entered. (The codes more or less just...

Interesting... I wonder if they're busy modifying the server. From the sounds of it, it looks like the first few prizes awarded were all centered around the same general location, like someone was either sniping or flooding the server with non-stop code entries...

Has anyone else experienced issues with the contest server failing to acknowledge you just entered a code with either a "sorry" or a "winner" message? I had no problem yesterday and got the sorry message six times. Today though, a new set of codes has yet to yield any such response upon...
