Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

My girlfriend received her Marlboro e-mail last night and I received mine this morning. We ordered our great stuff on Dec 16th and did not call customer service as we both were fortunate enough to have 1600 points before they added 100 pts on the 17th. So I would concur with Ichi who talked to Marlboro that anyone who ordered after the "final" points on the 16th will not have their gear shipped until the 11th.

Congratulations to the people who deservedly had their ordered changed so they could obtain the stuff they wanted. I certainly don't mind waiting a little so the point mess could be fixed and everyone taken care of.

Thanks to Marlboro for such a educational contest with such awesome prizes.worshipworship

And thanks to the slick deal community here or we would probably be getting a much lesser prize than we did! Big Grin Big Grin worshipworshipworshipworshipworship:Big Grin
I agree wholeheartedly. I think Marlboro is doing whatever they can to make things right, and I feel happy for those who can make a change. I don't mind waiting either.

Well, it looks like SD finally did it. According to the mod: "This thread will remain closed. Please use the thread in the Lounge for any further discussions. "

It happened at 8:56 this AM, so looks like we can still go into a dead thread and give reps. Nice to know. bounce
Looks like Mix3 wins. "OT Proximity Post Of The Year. "
Congratulations Mix3.

I'm pretty sure one will come. I know I was starting to feel left out. There's no telling how many total emails they are sending. Then, too, maybe they are a bit short staffed during the Holidays. Lots of people like to take vacation this week. I know I always tried to get off when I was working.

My last name begins with an F and received e-mail this morning.

My girlfriends last name begins with a P and she received her e-mail at 3pm on the 27th.

We did not call customer service. So it seems to be almost random?

I got my email on Dec. 24th at noon. Since I am happy with the camera it didn't seem worth the effort to change the coupons and bonus to the jerky so I didn't call.

I got a $10.00 gift card from Family Dollar in the mail and don't even remember trying for it !
That's really a prize.

Did everyone hear about that game show that had an answer wrong? Wonder if it was D.L. Blair checking the answers? Big Grin

I can't believe they just came in and closed our thread just like that! Wow! EEK!

I was just about to post I called Marlboro and talked to John. I thanked him for the OWTW contest and the wonderful prizes we were all offered for winning. He also told me the Netbooks are still out of stock and if I don't have mine by APRIL 11th to call back! He did say the extra gift is a nice Dome Ashtray that he thinks we'll all enjoy too. I asked him to pass on my comments about how much I enjoyed playing the game and I hope they do another one soon. He told me he'd pass all my comments on.

Just for chuckles, I went over to the FW site to see what they're doing (I had honestly forgotten about them since the contest ended). At any rate, the members set up a new thread to chat and are closing the contest one. So I suppose we're not the only ones being shoved into the cold. I just find some of the old-time SD members so rude and now they'll have nowhere else to go but onto this section. Oh joy ! ! !
