evga.com Scavanger Hunt 2006- Most annoying contest ever

[Disco_Stu]

Evga.com is having thier scavanger hunt contest again this year. Like last year, the prizes are SWEET.

BUT- they are liars and have HORRIBLE customer service.

Last year I won a copy of Prince of Persia 2 from this same contest, I called them twice asking about it and both times I was assured it was on its way. I never recieved the game. I didnt really care because my brother had it on xbox and I had already played it anyway and wasnt that upset about never getting it. Thier failure to ship prizes was also referance by others in last year's thread on this contest. But that makes me far less excited about jumping through thier stupid scavanger hunt hoops this year.

Just be warned, if you happen to win something you will likely have to hound them for weeks to recieve your prize.

That being said, you guys have fun with thier scavanger hunt, Ive got to go to work! :cool:

Grand prize is just dinner with the CEO of NVIDIA? I think I'd rather have one of the systems.

[unreal]

lol me 2, unless that dinner includes his pay for a day lol and a new system...

[unreal]

all i want is hardware, not software or subscriptions lol,, i can get those for free lol

[hainer36]

im gonna bet that you get alot more than just dinner......probably desert too


but it might include that signed 7950GX2 thats underneath the grand prize area too, or some other surprises....along with all expenses paid for

[noxqzs]

personally I would rather have the dinner with the CEO. A system will get outdated within months, but learning some principles will last you a lifetime.

[Kenshiro]

does anyone know where is the 10th ribbon?

[scott d]

well I'm gonna stick it to them and order the most expensive bottle of wine they have, then decide I don't like it and order the second most expensive bottle.

[hainer36]

well I'm gonna stick it to them and order the most expensive bottle of wine they have, then decide I don't like it and order the second most expensive bottle.
just order an entire buffalo to be cooked.....then when it comes without wings......send it back

[Ascii2]

[H4Z4RD0US]

you take a bite out of your chicken, and realize theres something hard inside, oh wait....its 2 7950's!!!


I think a dinner with the CEO (If your interested in business study and pursuiting a career in business like I am) Would be a good learning experience.

[yog]

I'm in.

[EvilCloudStrife]

screw the hardware and software, im in for the dinner, no joke. That would be one of the best experiances ever talking about how he got his start making his own hardware company.

[Kenshiro]

I'm pretty sure they will give some perks to the top winner, besides the dinner.

[ScottinIndy]

Thanks to all the folks that did all the work! Btw, Like DiscoStu, I also won the Prince of Persia game in last years Hunt and never received it. I contacted them a couple of times, However didn't really push too hard since I had already had the game.

[OC/ingmaddog]

Thanks for the answers guys! Hopefully I win something. *cross your fingers*

[greenmaji]

Big thanks :D
Im in :thup:

[lemings]

Screw the dinner and screw the hardware, I want some cash :D.

[Zim2411]

I'm in, thanks. I just want a full system, heh... not like it's gonna happen though.

[ShadowPho]

I'm in, thanks. I just want a full system, heh... not like it's gonna happen though.

heh. I would be happy if I win anything!

[FrEaK44]

the wait is killing me(j/k altho i'm bored)hmm if i won a card or somthing it would be better than christmas:rolleyes: :santa: :rolleyes: :santa: :rolleyes: :santa:

[FrEaK44]

[ShadowPho]

winner was suppose to be located here (http://www.evga.com/scavenger/default.asp?switch=4) but nothing yet at 3:15 am est

Lets refresh every 2 seconds to see if the page is up so we crash the website like last time!!! :beer:

Or better yet! We can use that w00t client to set refresh to 2 seconds to do it for us!!!

[/irony]

[Icebl@ster]

wooo yea lets crash this thing. Also good luck to everyone hope we have a winners in forum. Fingers crossed:bday:

[Oxalic32]

Is it still not updated?

[FrEaK44]

unreal (and FrEaK44), last I checked 12:00PM is noon, not midnight:beer:my bad(i was sleepy and saw the 11:59pm and just said 12:00pm lol)only 2 1/2hr left. i entered the monthly contest at the same time(for a video card)lol

[Chris215]

20 more minutes.. and their site is getting hammered.

[EvilCloudStrife]

10 minutes

i am suppose to be working.. geeze, whats my problem

EDIT-12:00- LIES LIES LIES!! I WAITED

[Chris215]

3:12 no list yet

[learning curve]

I tried at the last minute and could not even find the d@m questions!!! Oh well good luck to the st of you.

[FrEaK44]

how dare the lie altho they did put up the monthly contest winner
im gonna check back at 12:30pm

[Will Eatforfood]

Fingers crossed* 7950.... come on....

:(....I' probably take off the autographed part and sell the card for a conroe build...Or sell it for a g80... I don't know. But I'm also hungry right now and that dinner sounds fantastic.

Edit. How do u see the monthly contest winners? and also...all the prizes are hot cept for some of the software and the Microsh7t.

[EvilCloudStrife]

i want to win so badly! I think the chances are good my friends!!

[Icebl@ster]

hugh lol found out im not eligible crap o well guess i messed a question up.

[Will Eatforfood]

hahahaha...thats wishful thinking....but then again, if only the people on this forum (greatest chances of winning since all 10 questions were posted) + give or take a hundred persistent Joes, then maybe I can land a nice prize.

[Chris215]

still no list, how long does it take them to post it up?

[Icebl@ster]

TADA WE HAVE WINNERSSS!!!!!!!!!!:beer: Goto the Prize list! http://www.evga.com/Scavenger/default.asp?switch=1

[Chris215]

[Burdman27911]

Nothing... just my luck. I didn't think I would win, but there's always hope.

[Astral]

thats a big nothing

[hainer36]

nothing here

[ShadowPho]

nothing here....dang... I knew we should have crashed it :)

[moddork]

The further and further I kept scrolling down the page the less and less I figured I had won anything. I never win anything. But then there it was, assuming someone isn't sharing my name, lol, which is likely. But, I actually won something. I won the Prince of Persia Two Thrones game. I already own one though, so that kinda sucks.

[ludeboy12]

nothing for me...

[EvilCloudStrife]

nothing for me.. screw that man :(

[sicloan]

nothing for me, and when i checked eligibility it said i wasnt eligible... screw that crap, i found all then things and what not, bogus!

[scott d]

:( oh well

[Disco_Stu]

yea, i didnt win anything either.

364 days till next year's contest!

:\

[Zim2411]

[ziggo0]
