Win Free Oddworld Prizes!
 


With the return of Oddworld Universe, we thought it would be a great idea if we gave away some prizes. The prizes include two Oddworld Badges (which you can sew onto a shirt, or other fabric), and a vial of Gabbit Juice (for you to skull down like a thirsty zebra). These prizes will act as individual items, so up to three people can win! In order to win one of the prizes, you will need to register your entry through the prize system we've set up especially for this event (http://www.oddworlduniverse.com/oddi...zegiveaway.php). It's very simple to enter. All you have to do is be a member of the Oddworld Forums (if you're not, simply visit: http://www.oddworldforums.net/register.php?do=signup), and then enter your Oddworld Forums username and email address into the prize system. And presto! You're in the running for some very rare, and legitimate Oddworld goodies.

Entries will close on the 28th of February 2005 (Australian Eastern Standard Time), and on the 1st of March, 2005 (AEST) we will randomly select three different prize winners. Each winner will randomly receive one of the three prizes listed above. We will email all winners, and publicly announce the winners on both Oddworld Universe and the Oddworld Forums. We expect all of the winners to respond within two weeks of the prize being drawn, or the prize will be randomly given to another entrant. In order to receive your prize, we ask that the winners supply us with their contact details. This way, only the winners will have to reveal their addresses, rather than all entrants.

So, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter: http://www.oddworlduniverse.com/oddi...egiveaway.php?

Rules & Guidelines
  • You must be an Oddworld Forums member to enter
  • As an Oddworld Forums member, you must not be banned during any period of the competition if you wish to enter
  • You may only enter once, multiple submissions will be disregarded
  • Members using multiple accounts to submit multiple entries will be disqualified completely
  • Winners must respond within two weeks of the drawing to claim their prize
  • We reserve the right to change anything at anytime

I'll sign up! It would be great to win, but I always lose these things...

I can't seem to get the site loaded up, I'll keep trying though.

Alcar 01-25-2005 06:24 AM

Hmmm, that's weird, all links are working for me, and I've had the domain resolved for quite some time. Is it just that particular page, or can you not access any part of Oddworld Universe?

Alcar...

MojoMan220 01-25-2005 06:27 AM

All I get is a white screen. My internet might just be messing up, so I guess we'll have to wait for others to visit it. Its the whole site that's not working for me.

Esus 01-25-2005 06:29 AM

I can't access any of OWU... Every page is just white, it doesn't say it can't be found or anything.

It's working now.

Alcar 01-25-2005 06:31 AM

Eeeek! Guilty!

I guess I forgot the most important part of all: make sure that you've opened the website for guests! Everything should be in order now. Sorry for the confusion.

Alcar...

MojoMan220 01-25-2005 06:35 AM

Damn that's a lot of stuff! The site looks superb, I can't wait to check it all out!

Fuzzle Guy 01-25-2005 07:27 AM

It works for me. I signed up!

Xavier 01-25-2005 08:05 AM

I signed up, I realy hope I'll get the gabbit juice

OANST 01-25-2005 08:13 AM

I lost a bid for the gabbit juice about two years ago and I haven't been able to find it again. I WANT THAT SUCKER!

T-nex 01-25-2005 08:56 AM

Is there real juice in that Gabbit Juice? If it is, then i hope it's not 2 years old :p

Anyway, the site looks great :)
Probably better then the previous ones. Nice work ;)

Software Bug 01-25-2005 09:31 AM

i have signed up , i also hope i get the gabbit juice:p

_GrubHunter_ 01-25-2005 09:40 AM

I signed up, I hope to win Gabbit Juice :) I'm from Poland, maybe it's time to win :(...

Wil 01-25-2005 11:02 AM

Wey-hey, what a superb surprise for everyone. I've signed up. Already having a patch, I'm crossing my fingers for the Gabbit Juice. What flavour is this sample (not that I'd ever even dream of drinking it)?

Leto 01-25-2005 11:37 AM

Gabbit juice seems most wanted, what a great re-opening of the site! Thats one way to get visitors, then they will hop along to the rest of the site after signing up for prizes... :p Very good layout, easily acessable(sp?) information. Very good site indeed.

Oddish 01-25-2005 11:40 AM

I can't beleive you managed to make a prize giveaway, brilliant job, Alcar! It's very kind of you to give us oddworldy gifts for free, whoever wins.

I signed up, those seem nice goodies, and that must be Gabbit Juice Candy I've hearing about, looks sweet.

I had this idea before, but I didn't how to make work. I kind of worried about giving my address to the internet thought, if I win that is.

Godlesswanderer 01-25-2005 11:58 AM

Very cool site Alcar, nice job.
I've signed up for the competition and I also hope to win the gabbit juice. Mainly because I have no idea what it is and want to find out :).

Esus 01-25-2005 12:06 PM

I've entered into it - it would be very nice to win something. :)

Leeum 01-25-2005 12:27 PM

Good luck to everyone :D

Godlesswanderer 01-25-2005 12:32 PM

Yep, good luck all :).

Oddish 01-25-2005 01:34 PM

Alcar, How are you going to randomly choose the members? just courious.

automated randomizer system? meh....

The Marching Mudokon 01-25-2005 04:49 PM

I signed up. I hope I win anything really, because I don't have any of those things.

Alcar 01-25-2005 05:20 PM

All entrant information is kept in a database on the server. With a PHP script, it will simply spit out three random names and assign them one of the three prizes :) However, all entrants will be checked thouroughly before we do so, to ensure no multiple accounts exist.

All Gabbit Juice come in one flavour, that being Sour Watermelon. The only different between other Gabbit Juice vials is that the one I'm giving away has a green lid. There are other with blue lids, but that is the only difference. Also, while the Gabbit Juice may be a few years old, it does no carry on it an expiry date... Though I would advise against drinking it, it doesn't taste too good :p

Hehe. Not only that, but we get people to register on the Oddworld Forums too! :D

Hmmm, I double checked, with multiple sources, and they all use the same cheat. I remember using the same one on my own version of the game. Are you entering it in all capital letters as it is displayed?

Alcar...

Leto 01-25-2005 10:21 PM

I- WANT- those badges! For mah beanie! just thought of a use for zem... Must own!!

The 'THQMPMD1' is the music code... You may be entering something wrong, because it works. Mabye its different for different regions..? (Probably not, though)

(I think I am alone i the 'I WANT THE BADGES' category... :p)

The Marching Mudokon 01-25-2005 10:35 PM

I wouldn't mind the badges, I don't care what I get (assuming I won of course :p)

Fuzzle Guy 01-25-2005 10:51 PM

Well I hope I get the badge the gabbit juice is something that one day it would become old, and then you wuldn't have it. Plus it's just a Test tube with a sticker on, so, although it would be good to have this merchandise, it's the Badges for me.
