I have submitted the stupid MacRumors thing with the photos 5 times over the last 4.5 hours. Nothing is happening.

How do I get the loot?

I've got the same problem.

Anyone?

Did you submitt the photos with the specs? Because the first time i submitted the photos, nothing happens and then i submitted them with the specs and i received a mail from Lisa.

I didn't submit the specs...

The wiki (cheater me) says the specs aren't necessary. Is this false?

Even with the specs it's not working for me

It worked for me just now.
Be sure to fill in the same e-mail adress and such.

yeah

same here, no loot

I did not post the specs. Did you use your MacHeist email address?

Hello World from [img]http://leomancini.net/other_images/logos/macheistVIP/dark.png[/img]

I sent specs and pics twice still nothing no emails and no loot

Make sure that you click the link in your briefings. You have to wait several minutes for the emails. You should use the email you registered with Macheist.

Make sure that you are submitting your iPhone pics using the link in the briefing message and the specs and using tha data that you use to enter to MacHeist.

Yes, yes, yes. I have done all this. Still nothing and it has been 4.5 hours.

I have thats why I had to send the specs and pics a second time cause I accidently typoed my email and relized it when i first submitted to mac rumors

Very silly, I know, but I did that too but forgot to enter my email address.

Remember to enter it, otherwise you get nothing. I believe they use the email address to look us up in the MacHeist DB and distribute the loot.

The username in the link is probably key too.

I entered an incorrect email....

damn too many email addresses guys...

Seriously, I have done all of this. A child would know these things.

Just submit again with the correct email.

I know I have to. I clicked every link I was supposed to in the breifing. I have done everything right and done it like those who have recieved their loot, but I have not and it's been hours. Thats all I am saying

It's broken.

No its not. I don't know if this works only for me, but the safe code is 8417. hope that works!

"Dear Santa: If I do not recieve that bike that i wanted this year i won't give you the antidone to the poison in the milk you just drank."

Safe code is different for every user.

I did everything and got my code and I still can not get my loot!

Heffalump!
Oh by the way, you smell good.

Your loot should arrive within about 45 minutes of you submitting the photos to MacRumor. I did not include specs and it worked.

Maybe I hate everything. Or maybe I just hate you.

I did that 3 hours ago...

I did that about 2 hours ago

I've gotten my loot.

does anyone else think "loot" is a strange word?

I prefer the term "booty"...ARRRR!!!

Finally at 11:59AM it came. That is 5 hours later.

ok so by that I have 3 and a half hours left till I get it

Where am I? [img]http://fito.com.mx/TheAmazon/dark.png[/img]

yea its been around 2-3 hours waiting for me still haven't gotten any loot

There must be a limit to the number of automated emails they can send out per hour. As more and more people submit, they get backlogged, so we have to wait until our email comes up in the Q.

Thats pretty unacceptable for a contest... totally botched... arrr

These things happen. As long as you get the email sometime today is it really that big  a deal?

Not really. I am just impatient. Arr

I'm still waiting hours later also...

I make cool Mac Shirts http://hipp.myshopify.com

I'm by now waiting for 5 hours...

Blog - keepmefromblogging.de

Yeah I'm approaching 5 hrs too, I don't think that they thought that we would solve this thing this quickly, so they don't have the resources to deal with all these submissions at the same time We're more intelligent than they thought mates

PS: Aye. I agree with jack de pirate. booty sounds much better ARrrrrr...

That's right I'm the pimp daddy of the Antartic

ARRR!!!!

Rake in me booty!!!

I still have not received my loot either

Submitted first email at 10 AM EST with pictures but no specs

submitted specs and pictures at 1:30 PM EST

Still nothing

No loot... going on 6 hours here.

"Does this taste funny to you?"

Okay, guys, nothing happened until I sent an e-mail to Billy. I wonder if you have to do that to get the ball rolling. Then the chain continues when you send the MacRumors report. Then you get an e-mail from MacRumors, and then an e-mail from Lisa.

So you're saying after starting this whole thread called "Nothing is happening", the reason was you weren't following the game in the right order? I mean, of course you have to send an email to Billy, that's clearly stated as the first step in the briefing.

*heavy sigh, head in hands*

...too close for missiles.  I'm switching to guns.

Not true, I followed the order. No loot yet

I mailed Billy twice, but he refused to respond. First time was about 10 hours ago, the second time was 2 hours ago.
I tried everything to follow the given steps... ;-)

If you haven't received a response -at all-, can you check your spam filter for me.

I submitted without the specs, but with a small explanation of where I found the pics.

I got my loot.

I have recived a response but my code *does not work*
also programs have not appeared in the loot page.

Heffalump!

Hi Phill,
of course I can. Since I'm using .mac there is no spam filter at the server site.
And Mail doesn't show any spam either...

Contact him with what? It just says "Contact should be made through his email: billy@billyhull.com"

Your instructions are clear, but far from descriptive. You just want us to send him a blank email?

If you want people to jump through hoops to get stuff, put some more thought into all the aspects of your "game."

It's all fine and dandy that you know everything that is going on, but users have to digest a lot of material and sift through a lot of stuff here.

This is a first go for you at doing this, so digest all this stuff and learn from it so you can improve as you go. Don't just shrug people off as not listening. And if they didn't listen, find out why. Maybe there is a communication gap somewhere.

Got my loot - I do not think I ever sent the email - Once I did and resent the info to macroumers my loot was there -

Truly - I was the idiot
