Really? That's weird :-/
That would also explain why people wait hours and get nothing when there are just 10 members online

I really doubt the visitors get to see the parcel too, cause then it could take forever to get it, even if you're to only memeber online..

And SoContagious (Jeroen, right?) I've also been online the whole past two days :( 25 and a half hours so far (haha that sounds worse then two days :P)

And you never got the parcel?
I really think it would be more fair to give the members who already ahd it a lower chance of getting it again. I've bene online more than 15 hours total, probably more than 20, and I got it once yesterday, but didn't win anything. And some other members got it twice or three times, and won 2/3 subscriptions
Not that I want that subscriptopn or amazon gift card so badly (I also get another sub for the animal hunt) but I just think thats more fair

Well, i've been on pretty much constantly and I haven't seen it at all.

Just checking: it pops up above the "Your account" table in the side bar, right?

Heh, I think the game's not really supposed to be 'fair', Gwen ; )

That's where I saw it, Sarah.

Yup it's in the left corner. And Echo, of course you can't let everyone get the same, it's just very frustrating that some people win 2 subscriptions in a few hours, and some get no parcel at all in 2 days

Well, I'm off to bed. I'm soooo sleepy *jawn*
Good night (or day, depending on where you live of course) all!

Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. It's been 28 hours since I first started waiting for the parcel to come by :P
And of course it's not about "being fair", and I don't need the subscription that bad (although I'd love to get the gift certificate, since I'm a broke book freak) but it does suck :P
Like when I couldn't find all the chickens, I just wanted to know where they were.. I'm way too curious *sigh*

If you are talking to me, I don't know where you get that I got 2 subs in 'a few hours' from. I got one the first day it opened and then another one just last night. I was online practically the entire days for each. Like Linda said, the more you are online, the more chances you have to win. (not to mention, I'm usually active when everyone else is sleeping. Less people = better chance of getting the parcel). It's a script that randomly chooses someone online so I don't see how the game is unfair either. If you're inactive for over an hour, it will pass it to someone else. It all makes sense.. plus, it's just a game :)

I'm not a freaking genius :| It picks someone randomly who has been online in the last 10 minutes. Simple. There's no in built intelligence to detect how badly someone wants it or to deliberately not give it to those who try the hardest.. it's just plain old random!

Linda: Do you know that random isnt actually random? *nods* theres a pattern to things that appear random, but the pattern changes so gosh darn fast that its impossible to predict the next pattern.

Yep. Chaos theory.

why do i know this?

I dont know.

*pokes Chaos theory*

No I'm not just talking about you. I know you got 2 subs, but I also knew you didn't get them in a few hours. I was just giving an example of how it could be
But I'm not blaming anyone for anything, I know it must be very hard to even make something like this, and I really appreciate Linda did, so I don't have any critics
