February Contest Winners!

Congratulations!

SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the difficulties we've encountered with winners receiving the emails from Amazon with their gift codes, we're going to have prizes issued via your Contest Ticket. This will eliminate a step or two (like providing your email) and hopefully save headaches.

I will still need you to confirm US, UK, or CA Amazon store, or if you receive your prize via PayPal other means.

No love for my Dark Souls review eh? Damn :(

Oh well! Congrats to all winners!

[Cat]

I neglected to mention our "runners up" this month, I'll try to make time to go back and include those!

[DragonKnight]

Out of all the blogs I've written so far, Gaming and the Disposable Man would never have been the one I would figure to be a winner. Thank you for choosing it.

[Cat]

I do disagree (vehemently ;) ) with one of your supporting arguments, but it was definitely a good blog topic!

[DragonKnight]

I just saw that. I replied to it. And once again, thank you.

[Christopher]

You know we disagree on this viewpoint, at least a bit, but a good blog is a good blog. Thanks for sharing.

[DragonKnight]

We do, but I'm glad you enjoyed the blog. Hopefully I'll be able to produce another good one regardless of if it "wins" anything or not.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I am completely confuzzled. Did I just win a amazon gift card?

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Thanks Cat, and thanks everyone who voted for my blog even though I know it was controversial.

[DragonKnight]

Looks like all 3 choices were controversial. Lol.

[zerocrossing]

You can vote for blogs? O.o can someone please explain to me how to do that so I can help contribute to the winners next time.

@DragonKnight

Oh, OK thanks for the explanation.

[DragonKnight]

I don't think normal members get to vote, I think it's the mods and admins that vote.

[Cat]

cgoodno and I choose the blogs and user reviews :)

[PS4isKing_82]

My name is in the list. If I won a gift card, what do I do exactly to claim it? I'm confused.

[WarThunder]

Me too! what do we do exactly to claim it?

[Soldierone]

Awesome! first time ever winning :)

Congrats to everyone else as well!

[KillrateOmega]

Any idea what I'm supposed to do? It's my first time also, so I'm noobing it up over here :)

[Soldierone]

I'm actually confused as well lol, do we reply to the ticket?

[coolbeans]

You should have received a notification stating "you got a new ticket." If you have acknowledged the ticket and "confirmed US, UK, or CA Amazon store, or if you receive your prize via PayPal other means", you just wait until the...3rd week of this month (typically) for your prize money to go through.

[SKUD]

Am disappoint son.

[Valenka]

Oh my word! I won another! I so cannot believe this! Thank you so much, Cat and to the other judges for this tremendous honour! Congratulations to the other winners as well!

[Bladesfist]

Congratulations other winners, Thanks again Cat.

[TuxedoMoon]

Congrats to all the winners. No runner UPS? Oh well.

[LostDjinn]

Well done everybody who took out a prize.

[coolbeans]

More spaces for user blogs and reviews, so none fly under the radar, and an easier way for users to receive their prizes makes me want to award a *Certified FresH* badge for these recent efforts. Keep it up!

Thanks for the prize and congrats to other winners (surprising choices keep things spicy).

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Did you receive your prize? I'm actually confused as to how it works this time. Before we just informed Cat of our email and then that's how it worked but now I dunno.

[coolbeans]

No, I haven't received mine yet. Judging by what's stated, it seems like we'll get the notification blinking icon that tells us to look at our ticket again and she'll have a unique code for each one of us to redeem. Give it the same amount of time usually expected for these codes in the past (around the 3rd week of this month) and we should all get one sent to our ticket at the same time.

I must admit, I seem to be the main catalyst behind this change. My amazon/email was tied into a yahoo account until late last year. After switching to a hotmail one, and now a different yahoo one, I was unable to find the gift card message, despite sifting thoroughly through my inbox/junk mail during those months.

Sorry to cause the confusion. :'(
