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 !

I have one of those ashtrays. No Marlboro name on it. Just a sticker on bottom that says Made in China. Not sure what the material is. It is not magnetic. It is very heavy. I wouldn't have it around a glass table top. I also don't especially like it as an ashtray. I just use it as a decorative piece in my stainless steel kitchen.

I didn't have enough points for the Netbook, so I ordered the Camera, then received 50 more points, now I just received a email to call them also, so that means they are holding all orders until Jan 11. So I am calling today 1-800-627-5267 to let them know to ship my camera. Just thought I would pass it on, still didn't have enough after the extra points,to change my order but would of if I found SD earlier. Again thanks SD peeps.

My team didn't get any bonus points like allot of you did, However I just called Marlboro to see if the bonus point issue was holding up everybody orders.

The lady at Marlboro was very nice and explained that the points were from accounts that didn't get proper credit for their answers throughout the contest. She also said that orders by people that didn't have bonus points were not being held up in anyway. I also had to have her correct contact information for my team mate that I incorrectly input (Mr, instead of Ms.). My team mate is expecting an ash tray in a couple weeks for having to call and correct the information.

The lady at Marlboro also said that the Marlboro people also had fun playing OWTW even though they couldn't win the million dollars. She was also aware of the OWTW Forums on the web and said the contest would have been almost impossible without the forums.

I got the bonus points, but didnt get the email asking if I wanted to change my order like others did. I ended up with 1600 even, and ordered the netbook (still not received). Wonder if those who didn't receive the email will be getting their orders shipped asap when they apparently get the netbook back in stock.

There are so many varieties of ash trays, there are also a number of ashtrays that call themselves dome (in style), We will have no idea of the type of ashtray that is coming our way other than the common belief that it will be a very nice gift from Marlboro.

The leather wrapped gunsmoke grey metal ashtray they provided for the previous contest was very nice and was easily into the $20 range in value.

Marlboro is AWESOME!
I had already ordered all my items and they were all delivered. However I received an email about changing my order with the extra points.

The are letting me order the Bass Rod & Reel plus letting me keep all my other items as compliments of Marlboro..

How AWESOME is that!?
