Ok, something is flawed here. so, if I wonted to, I could spam my character's name to increase my chances? or do I just use my 3 characters to spam the contest?
If the answer to the first question is true, I'm not going to bother putting my name in.

I emailed them yesterday, it seems it is intentional that this is possible but as said they're probably not too happy about people putting bots on it
You can spam the same character email as much as you want.... However due to a lot of spam they changed the submit form so it includes a CAPTCHA test which will filter out bots... which were massively messing up the contest.
Email:
Quote: About the contest ... it was made intentionally to register again on F5 ... but to maximize the chances it is recommend to register periodically not necessary few hundreds times and then stop :P (you will get consecutive numbers if you register that way :P).
(been kind enough to correct spelling mistakes from the email)

As you suspect (and could confirm if you read the page where you enter), you get a chance for each entry, and can enter the same character name and email multiple times.
Why it was done like this, I don't know. They've now put up a random letter generator to make it harder to automate as (surprise!) people set up a program to automate it and enter themselves hundreds upon hundreds of times.

Hehe, when I was signing up someone had evidently set up a macro that re-input their character twice every second.
Good quick response on the CAPTCHA, but what are they going to do with the people who already have a few hundred entries? ----------------------------------------------

Wow, the contest is really rigged. I'd rather collect thousands upon thousands of mountain dew bottle caps, and enter them in for the win a Xbox 360. (Yes I did win a 360...)

From the site:
Quote: * UPDATE: Friday 13th November (today) between 06:00 PM and 08:00 PM (GMT) all the automatic registry/spam bot registry will be cleaned up so the contest page won't be available during that time. Sorry for that.
Not sure if that means that the bot-entered ones will be removed or not. It seems to mean that to me, but it is vague enough that I wonder.

Hello every one. Regarding the eve-ro.net contest ...
@ Zex Maxwell - I can assure you nothing is flawed here. The reason I allowed multiple registrations on the same character was to, some how, increase the chance of ppl who can't afford every month a PLEX ... I was terribly wrong.
@ sg3s - True. :) I wast very happy to discover almost 130.000 automatic (bot) registry the second day :D
@ Erik Amirault - The system is simple. For each registry you get a number. The numbers are assigned consecutively. system is similar to Charibba lottery. It's easier to extract 10 random numbers from an interval ...
@ Esna Pitoojee - Yep, there were about a dozen of people who used bots to register.
@ Zex Maxwell - Rigged? Why do you think that?
@ Malfournis - Indeed. Over 130.000 bot registry were deleted. It was easy to do that because the database logs time/date/ip/email/capcha field/etc It's impossible to register 2 - 3 times a second.
So far: 4204 unique chars registered / 3257 unique people 2604 chars registered only once 122 chars registered more than 50 times

Confirming that I have been asked by iulixxi to randomly draw the 10 winners, I will be provided with the database of entries and randomly pick out the 10 winners.
I however do not have the actual PLEX'es and thus will only be drawing the winning names.

You're not alone.
I presume CCP will take some time till it will deliver the PLEXes.
Anyway, we won PLEXes, this means you can either use it to increase your playing time or sell it on the market. ----- BK |
