I was thinking of taking it much farther. Their not allowed to mail anyone in the game or receive mails till the competition.

Just bring back the fed jailed to do the testing bwahahaha

That is what Major cooperation do and AL is getting bigger and needs these programs tested as much as possible.

Just my opinion.

Used to do this. Then the masses cried it was unfair because this select group got to see what was coming before it was released. That's the only reason we stopped.

Wow people cried about a group of beta testers? WTF, I'm sorry but thats lame.

You'd be surprise at what people can complain and whine for...

The code was fixed around 2:30pm server time. That's when I posted the newspaper notice, and that's when the first portion of today's leader board ends. As far as I'm concerned, from that point on is a separate contest and has the code fix. The leader board for the 2nd portion doesn't have any players who are mopping up like previous contests.

As for the beta-testing, there was a lot of complaints that some players got to be beta testers and some didn't.

As for make-up, I can't very well say those who won don't get anything. But those who participated and feel slighted will have some "Ghoulache" to eat. For those who have no clue, look at item number 264.

As a make-up to those who attempted the October 2008 contest and feel a bug stole money from them, this little dish attempts to soothe their hunger for retribution against the Admin monster. Eating it will completely heal their health and energy.

Everything will be handed out after the contest. That Ghoulache will be handed out based on how many attempts were made in the bugged contests to make up for my mistake.
