Tried to sell it for 40K, no luck, so I gave up and do my lengthy lab report -_-

This promotion was for the subscribers of that online magazine. not to every tom dick and jane who reads Guru hoping to score their next big ticket mini to spam in Kamadan for sale for 100k+XX ectos.

This promotion was abused by the greedy bastages from this site and others and you're feeling the pain. Have fun with that.

Have fun with that? Gee thanks... Nice to know the community here is so nice

EDIT: If anyone who is getting through would be so kind as to PM me a spare key, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I just dedicated mine. I can't believe how nice this pet looks and it's free. It's one of the best so far.

Same here! Two please! (one for me, one for my wife)

Ahh I just found out about this, and I do love mah minis. Well good luck to everyone!

The overall value of these guys seems to be settling around 30k. Which is respectable. Too bad I can't get another one of these guys.

I have a friend who couldn't get onto the website at all. He's alot poorer than me and could use the $$.

Wait a minute.... a FREE online magizine has "subscribers." Umm... what? Yes, I know the magizine calls themselves that, but.
We didn't screw anybody over. There was a free gift being given out and we took it. It's like people were giving out a free t-shirt and you took one. Wheter you support their cause of the t-shirt, doesn't mean you can't get a shirt. Free means free.

Furthermore, the amount of exposure this obscure magazine got because of the GW community is phenominal. Several GW players might have liked the magazine and continue to get it (I for one liked their article on Tabula Rasa). That was the point of the promotion. It was to attract more people to their site to get them more advertising money from web hits. It wasn't a "free gift to their subscribers."

I tried to get one, it said that my information went thru, but no email yet. That was about 6 hours ago.

Give me a break kiddos.

Eh... its about the fact that its new content more then anything else (especially at the start when people didn't even know where it came from).

And yes thelessa, I'm in your boat. Sent in mine a while ago, no response yet.

Tarzan Yamada · Oct 18, 2007, 04:38 AM // 04:38

does anyone know how long you should wait until it goes through? sometimes i get the "oops" message right away, sometimes in a minute, sometimes in several minutes. I keep thinking the ones that take forever might make it....

Scarlett Romanov · Oct 18, 2007, 04:44 AM // 04:44

Ugh..Ive sat here a damn hour filling out that damn form and I still get that damn oops error. Please tell me Im not the only one. surely someone out there got their damn form to go through within the last hour. ugh. this is the most painful way to give away a mini-pet.

Stub · Oct 18, 2007, 04:46 AM // 04:46

well i didn't get a minipet......BUT I WON HoH TODAY, MY FIRST TIME EVER WOOT! Also, my first char turned 2 TODAY, and I got a Mini Koss! WOOT!

Brianna · Oct 18, 2007, 04:54 AM // 04:54

Oddly I got two codes, so now I got a mini for me and my girlfriend, guess I was lucky.

I submitted the entry, and it said ''Oops'', so I did it over again and it went through, but it said ''It appears you have already been sent an email, but we're sending an extra in case the previous one didn't go through'', then when I looked in my email box I had two emails - each with one unique code, and both worked.

Get his name and report him as Gaile tells us to. I can understand how those who get one or two extra codes sent to them arent at fault, but if someone has a 100+ codes you know they are abusing the system.

This is pathetic...and anyone who abuses the system then cries because they can't connect saying they should have known this was coming is just as pathetic.

Abusing the system, like, downloading the e-zine? lol?

And, you did represent the "community". Specifically, you represented them as

Dear lord, someone has 100 codes? How sad! Ok, whoever you are, PM me and we'll talk about clemency. Or be nice and offer them to forum members. You'll sleep better at night if you do the right thing.
