Official tournament prize thread
 

G'day everyone. So the last few weeks have been hectic as all get out with Sprite- visiting for a few weeks. While he has been here so far we've been out doing lots of australian related things, seen some awesome sights including Kangaroos and a decent amount of beer. An unfortunate side-effect is that my wife has pretty much been living on her laptop when we aren't at home.

The remaining tokens will be taken care of ASAP, I have a list of the people that have PM'd me and a list of people who haven't, this also includes the bonus credits for users that are 'owed' a token due to already unlocking it previously. So hang in there for later today/tomorrow for that.


HOWEVER....


I just got a neat little package in the mail and I thought I would pry her off the laptop so I could deliver this little announcement~




O:


I must say as a sess fan, these are quite nice to look at, and after re-listening to 'Streams of Red and Orange' and then this, I am quite jealous of our 6 champions :L (for those who are unaware, these are the ONLY physical prints of this album in the world..)

As for the stickers, I am still awaiting the shipment, but once they are here I will be making a thread directing users to where they should send their shipping details for the stickers and/or the CDs.

Postage of CDs will be done by Sprite- when he returns to NY after the 26th!!

Sending all 6 across the world from here will take a long time or be stupidly expensive, so he will do that nice and quickly from NY ;D


Thanks for the patience regarding all of this guys. There was no way I could have anticipated this much of a stuff-around with having Sprite- visit during september!!!

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

Sorry mate, you'll have to ask Shayne directly about that. I am pretty sure he still logs into skype semi-regularly. hit me on skype if you need his addy (not sure if it is on his profile)

Re: Official tournament prize thread

Do i get extra creds for already having Vrofl?

Also, is this where I post my address so people can come over and have sex?

Re: Official tournament prize thread

randomly selected a division winner, and this week The~J~MaXx was sent his gift card.

sorry that i cant pay out everyone at once, but atleast you guys are receiving your prizes :]

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

How did people that got 8th place in the tourney get Freedom Dive but I didn't?

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

Bumping this: has anyone received the SessileNomad album yet? I haven't received any information from Sprite-/nois-or-e about it, and Netjet asked me for postage information involving that for some reason...

really confused and that was one of the things I was really excited to get.

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

Nois-or-e's computer's been out of commission so I collected the postage stuff for him and forwarded it to him. From this point it's a waiting game for him to mail them out.

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

Has -anyone- received their SessileNomad album? This is ridiculous.

This was a prize offered by official staff, and I still haven't heard a peep about it despite the fact that all parties involved with distributing them have been online in the past month. I personally am starting to get aggravated with this, because I was really looking forward to the album.

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

what about the stickers to the top 16 in each division? Are those still in existence?

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

For both the stickers and the SessileNomad albums, nois-or-e has them in his possession. However, he's been out of contact for the past while because his computer is still broken. I'll look into it and see if I can get an ETA for all of you, but like I said before, it's unfortunately going to be a waiting game.

In the mean time, I'm going to see if you guys can get some sort of alternate prize if the stickers and CDs don't end up working out (hoping this doesn't happen, but you never know).

Again, sorry for all the delay, it's out of our control.

Re: Official tournament prize thread
 

I'm going to say this bluntly, and it might sound rude (which certainly isn't my intention), but you're not staff and shouldn't be relaying information when it certainly isn't in your control to do so. I know you linger in the staff forum and staff chat for whatever reason, but until I hear an answer from someone with the proper authorization to give an answer, I'm going to keep bringing this up.

Sprite- was apparently handling the albums and they were supposed to be posted on the 26th of September, but we're looking at a two month discrepancy. I know for a fact that Sprite- was hit by Sandy, but that was considerably later than the date that was promised, and it's even more irritating to see this being shrugged off as "out of our control" when both of them have logged into FFR in the past week. I'm not even talking about the prizes that were promised by users because those are 100% out of staff's control (and more than likely shouldn't have been offered - props to m0de for coming through, though). These are official things that were offered by the host of the tournament and they should be followed through with.

I'm sorry, but not receiving full prizes after two months is insane. There's absolutely no excuse for it and I'm going to continue to push it until the situation is resolved. I'm not even looking for a favorable response -- all I'm looking for is the answer to whether or not we're getting the rest of what we were told, and why things took so long (or why we're not receiving it), and I'm sure that the other winners would be interested in finding out the same thing.
