E: 10/09 (New end date) Live Search-280 Nikon Coolpix Cameras to give away.(MERGED)

tiredmumof2

I've just been on again and 'won' another camera although I haven't claimed it. I've read a few of the comments and to be honest there a bit on the harsh side. I've been playing on this since it was listed an haven't won then last night I'd finished the 'days ending' thread (thanks again Toniq for the marvelous effort!) and decided to have an other go. I won after about 15-20 votes and was genuinely thrilled! So I went onto the 'I won' thread' and noticed all the others winners.

Now, as someone else pointed out - if I wasn't a member of MSE then I wouldn't have know it wasn't a genuine win. I'm not a cheat or a fraud and I also understand I have no chance of winning the camera as the poor souls at Microsoft are going to collapse tomorrow when they see how many 'winner's have claimed prizes over the weekend. However, I also agree there are people out there who are greedy and winning 6 or 7 then claiming them.

Please don't tar everyone with the same brush - we're not all out to make money off e-bay.

Happy comping everyone and I hope it gets fixed soon. I for one won't be going back on until the problem is rectified.:o

well so far i have won six cameras and my son five.wish they would sort it out instead of giving people false hope.

I personally think (this is just my personal opinion) that when you win one
you should move over and let the next person have ago..
That is when the blimming thing works correctly...
I think its very unfair to even try to be greedy!

i have only claimed one just did it to see if it was working again.

Completely agree with you and had said that before this fiasco. If I know other people are trying for hours at a time and already had one or even two then I would not still be playing to give others a chance to benefit.

I agree with some of the others I won ONE last night was so excited and came on to post to dicover others has won 6 etc then this morning it seemed to be fixed and i clicked for an hour and genuinely thought i had won again only to discover others had too, It is really annoying, hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

exactly this is turning into a game of greed not luck
i dont play these games becaue i have better things to do with my time
some people are spending ALL day on this just for the chance of winning and gaining nothing which is sad
whereas other people are clicking away winning 2/ 3 or more geniune cameras making it harder for other people to win

Oh please... Ive only kept clicking to see if its still broken and Iam pretty sure they wont even honour those as they may say it was broken the whole day. when people won thousands on big snap no one stoped playing..What a !!!!!y comment, when everyone was winning on big snap I had no problem when Hamster and others won loads yes it was frustrating but if people take the time and put the effot in why should they not be alloud to win, unlike Indi they is no limit as stated in terms and conditions. I actually went out my way to help find a number to help get this sorted,Well with comments like that I wont even bother posting if i win anymore...

I agree that once people win one genuinely, they should stop but unfortunately thats not the way of the human race.
