A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Would anyone....

...be interested in a game?

I'm in a game club, Big Fish Games, and they sent me a gift card to give to a friend.....it's a free game. There is a coupon code that you put in to activate it and there is no obligation to anything.

The games are normally $19.99, but I'm in their club and only pay $6.99 each month per game credit. (I probably have 40 games on my computer).

The game is called Build-a-lot. It's fun. I've already own it and have beat it. You have to build houses and collect rent and stuff. You can check it out on their site.

Anyway, if a few people are interested I'll just pick a number and whoever is closest can have it. I just think it would be a shame to waste a free game credit and since I already have it I thought I'd offer it up to someone on here.

That sounds fun, loz.

How will you know which number someone has picked? We can't tell you!


Merme

i'll be the middle person merme. if more than one person wants it. loz can determine the dates, everyone can pm numbers to me, and then she can publicly pick. i'll verify the winner. how's that?

Sounds like a plan. Jiffy!

I know Maxi will enjoy playing!!

Merme

ok, i have the first number received. so i guess my idea is a go! loz, merme, are you both on board with it?

Lol i'll take it if you haven't given it out yet :P... My mom is obsessed with those games

merme, we posted together. send me your number. you weren't the first!

Sounds good to me Jiffy! The code must be used by Feb 1st so we need to get this done.

It's a fun game. They have parts 2 and 3 now also. And yes I bought all 3.

ok, so they pm me by the time i get off work tomorrow and you pick when i get home. i have an errand to run after work, but when i know i'm on my way to the house, i'll call you. how's that? it'll be nearly 8 when i get home. give or take.

or, if you don't want to wait for me to get home, you could pm me a number and who ever is closest by pm when i get home tomorrow wins.

Has loz stated a range for the number to be within? Like "guess from 1 to 75." Otherwise, we could be guessing in the 1,000,000,000,000's....


Merme

How about 1-500? It gives enough range that you won't be guessing right on top of each other.....I will tell Jiffy my number right now so it's set solid.

I will PM my guess to Jiffy now, Loz. And I will TRY to get Maxi's guess to her before the deadline tomorrow night. But I won't be back from dialysis until around 5 or so and I'll have to explain it to him then. I know he will hope to get a guess in, so we will try our best.


Merme

I got ANOTHER gift certificate for another free game today....

Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate

I already own it too, it's a hidden object game.

So whoever is closest can take their pick of the 2 games. Runner up can get the other game.

when is the drawing?

Just send a number to Jiffy in a PM. 1-500.

I don't think she's around yet so you can probably get it in in time.

I'm not entering just wondering.

I don't think Jiffy is around tonight, so it might be tomorrow night---hopefully that gives Maxi enough time for a guess.

I can't believe nobody else is a computer game addict like me. It's a sickness with me. I am a huge gamer.

I love games of all kinds loz, but my computer is so old it barely keeps up with e-mail and garden helper and googling. it locks up sometimes on googling actually. ha ha

Well Loz I play the bigfish games too- have a lot of them on my laptop... boys like to help me play the hidden object ones...
Nana

i have a total of 4 guesses right now. and am willing to take guesses until i see loz log on. then, she and i will announce the winners!

I'm here!

Go ahead Jiffy, you know my number that I picked so feel free to announce whenever you'd like!

ok ms. loz. you have to send me a second number for the second game. we have a "dead on" winner for game one. and there are "runner's up" for the second, so help!

I will send you one right now. Somebody else likes my number to pick it dead on!

Alrighty, the winners will be getting pm's from loz, later this evening, with instructions on how to redeem their prize.

and the winner is...


are you ready?


really?



you aren't going to believe this...


game one belongs to....


really ready?


ok, i guess i'll end the suspense....



game one belongs to merme.


now, what about game 2?


i could tell you now...


or tell you later.....


but you want to know right?



ok, i'll tell you



game 2 belongs to maxi!

congrats to both of you! for such different guesses, for you both to win is great!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

ohmygoodness, I am laughing and crying! I have never won anything before and I can't hardly believe the kid and I guessed right! And, as Jiffy said, our numbers were really far apart!!


Merme

well, max has, maybe he's rubbing off on you?

i'm glad you won merme

Jiffy, I read your last post to Maxi who is sprawled on the couch eating a mini pizza. I said "yes, Maxi, you've won before." He grinned at me and said "Phase 10 from Jiffymouse!"

He takes winning in stride....joyfully but calm.

I'm all teary-eyed.


Merme

Hopefully they help keep you both busy during the winter doldrums. The finding games are so much fun!!!! Athena helps me a lot with them.

I'm glad you guys won Merme.

Maybe I don't understand how this was done but with 4 entries two of them were the same?

no. 2 were 2 close to use the original number for the second. so loz sent me another number for the second.

Or equidistant from the chosen number?

were there 4 entries?

there were 4 entries. one dead on for the first number.

two of the other three were equidistant and so another number was chosen. since loz didn't know the entries she could pick a number and i could name the winner!
