Commander Neyo : Denied

[Darklord Dave]

I'm CA and you can add me to the losers list. So is it proximity to Japan that determined this? The further away you are, the more likely to win?

Nope... it was done by zip code. We have the winning zip codes at GGC. No one outside these zip codes has won - and that is with about 46 of the 200 winners accounted for.

Zip Codes

00100 - 00999 = Foreign Countries
01001 - 02791 = MA
02801 - 02940 = RI
03031 - 03897 = NH
03901 - 04992 = ME
05001 - 05907 = VT
06001 - 06928 = CT
07001 - 08989 = NJ
10000 - 14975 = NY
17501 - 19640 = PA

I lost Neyo but got Luke.

I have only won B&W Leia, Luke and the Yoda bust.

 

[The Josh]

I have only won B&W Leia, Luke and the Yoda bust.

Same as me pretty much. Won B&W Vader, 3PO, and Spirit Yoda.

Got Neyo off ebay.

 

[swabie2424]

I have PM's in to Nasedeo and Darth Rage to get their official locations. If both of them are in the Northeast, that would bring the total number of winners in those zip codes to 50! And 0 cofirmed outside those zips.

We'll wait and see.

 

[The Josh]

You would think GG would have started from the West Coast at least since they're based in Cali.

 

[swabie2424]

How about hoping they just could simply executive a truly random raffle.



Considering this is a paid club (basically we have all paid to participate in this lottery/raffle) this is truly fraudulent. I'm not saying it was intentional. But it's still ripping people off. Most members did not have a chance to win based on where they live. They have misrepresented this as a random lottery. Negligence.

Could you imagine if the California State Lottery was run this way. Sorry... we only picked the Lottery winners from Burbank. People would go to jail!

 

[nash]

i agree with you swabie. seems like they dropped the ball, or just dont give a F---.

 

[The Josh]

I was telling my folks about the way the raffle went down based on your information SW and my Dad went well that's a tad bit of Fraud.

I think it's the latter.

No I would move to Burbank.

 

[swabie2424]

No I would move to Burbank.

We could BBQ! Woot!

I am confused. Why are you saying that no one outside of those zip codes has won? I am in zip code 20186. I still live on the east cost, but not between those zip cods.

 

[The Josh]

From what I'm reading virtually nobody outside a certain point on the East Coast won.

Maybe the zipcodes expanded more then we knew. You are right on the outside of the zipcodes where the majority of the winners are from

Did anyone do a study on this for the Malak and Gree? Maybe the west coast won those and the east coast got Neyo? it's sad if that's what they are doing because they claim it's random.

Gree and Malak would be much harder to do so. The problem hundreds of people were not allowed to enter due to presales. This is the first one where it was so obvious. It was just noticed as an odd thing when looking at the winners then as people dug further into this more and more it was becoming a trend that you could track.

I think most people are not upset with those who won but upset with GG. I can't belive GG did this on purpose but its hard to see why location could be even envolved in this at all.

I bet they just threw a bunch of zip codes into a hat and then drew those instead of names. If your zip code was drawn you won, period, if not no dice.
