Why is that Apple Mouse more than a 16 gig Nano? Costs less in the store.

I also don't get how some of you have so many ptz. Right now you can only get four a day, right? Not including invites that are only 2 ptz each anyways. So that's 120 a month, only 1440 annual, which is when they start expiring. Makes no sense to me

Spoiler

I get that they're adding more ways soon.

I don't understand why they think redemptions set up this way are a good idea. It costs them money to set up the big servers, and it puts people off since it's so fucking unfair.

ugh, why do the fucking idiots get backed with the startup cash.

8 a day for zlisters

8 a day for zlisters

Damn, really?!

...anyone need an invite?

 

[Ashhong]

:lol

why do you think people try to get invites so badly? haha

 

[CzarTim]

Oh shit.

Still, site is like getting your ass licked by a homeless man. Seems like it would be good, but at the end of the day you're still getting rimmed by a man without a home.

 

[Plywood]

:lol

why do you think people try to get invites so badly? haha

Hey I have 13 invites and it has nothing to do with this post. !

 

[hEist]

still got 20 invites ha,
418pts.. what should i get.. the question is, will i get something :lol

 

[whitehawk]

I just realized that the times for the redemptions are bound to be leaked by someone. Hooray

 

[Shadowlink]

I just realized that the times for the redemptions are bound to be leaked by someone. Hooray

Aren't they going to tell us the times for the redemptions?

 

[whitehawk]

Not for the ones you pay for. But there is a good chance someone will leak it on facebook or something. Then you know if you are free to buy the redemption chance.

 

[Anth0ny]

I still have a few invites. PM me!

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

So basically they want to put us in a pool of water and see who can resurface? Chances are already freaking slim. The fact that they're even holding a "lottery" or "bonus chance" means theyve rigged the whole redemption process. Furthermore, how many prizes are available in reality? There's got to be at least 100,000 "unique" members by now(things get even worse with multiple accounts). For what? 500 prizes? :lol :lol

Look at the Dailies: 400k+ answer them everyday. Yeah I guess a lot are multiple accounts, but still.

 

[Shadowlink]

Oh yeah! They just tell you the date for that. I only have 225 ptz so I'm not wasting my ptz to get chances. Didn't they also say that the General redemption takes place after that?

 

[RetroMG]

So, am I missing something, or have they not put up the Member redemption thing?

Worst. Site. Ever.

 

[Onemic]

PM me for invites. I have tons left. Would you be able to put my name in the op for people that want to get z-listed whitehawk?

 

[Stat Flow]

So, am I missing something, or have they not put up the Member redemption thing?

Worst. Site. Ever.

Are you surprised? They haven't been on time with one thing they've promise during the entire time of their existence. :lol

They really are a shitty site. But the promise of just a chance, no matter how small, of something free will attract users. Agreed?

 

[RetroMG]

Agreed. As I said before, I'm going to try this thing and if it doesn't get me anything, I'm bailing out.

 

[whitehawk]

It's 2 and a half hours later and it still isn't up :lol :lol :lol

 

[AstroMan]

Wait, did I miss the opportunity to put down my 100 points to hopefully be able to spend an additional 100 points?

 

[watervengeance]

Of course not. Lockerz would never let you miss opportunities for you to waste your points.

 

[Stat Flow]

It's finally up. Anyone wanna tell us what time they are.

 

[Shadowlink]

So the February 25 redemption is only for the people who bought chances, correct?

 

[Stat Flow]

Yes. And if you get a prize during that redemption you can not get a prize in the general redemption.

Wave number 3 has been confirmed at "10:00-11:00PM" EST... You're in wave 3 if you buy 1 chance to redeem.

 

[Shadowlink]

Are they telling us the date and time for the general redemption? All I know is that it will be after this redemption.

 

[Stat Flow]

Haha, of course not.

 

[Shadowlink]

Haha, of course not.

Fuck them!

 

[Stat Flow]

People on Facebook are so stupid. Dude posts a screencapture of his redemption which tells the time and then he's like "HEY EVERYBODY DONT TELL THE TIME PLZ SO WE CAN HAVE BETTER CHANCES"

Then I say "10-11 EST, Thanks"

He deletes his post and says "Crap"

What a joke :lol

Doesn't matter! It's only for people who bought the chances. Also, they have to tell us the date for the general redemptions because:

Lockerz members: thanks for your great ideas yet again. You told us you'd like us to try two big changes for our next redemption: more waves and more info on the exact time and date. We listened. So in February, we're letting you put your PTZ to work to participate in up to four waves, and find out the date and time these waves will happen. Check tomorrow's hallway for more details!

Now this is Lockerz, so they won't tell us.

 

[Stat Flow]

It does matter. There are people who weren't going to buy the chances because they weren't sure of the times and didn't want to risk the times being out of their range on the 25th (School, etc.). But now that they know, they can buy the chances safely knowing that they'll be around on that time.

 

[watervengeance]

They'll probably announce it 5 minutes before it starts.

Oh! Now that makes sense. I guess I didn't see it that way.

 

[Stat Flow]

Yeah, But these are the times apparently:

Feb. 25 Wave Times:
Wave 1: Between 6:00-7:00 PM EST
Wave 2: Between 8:00-9:00 PM EST
Wave 3: Between 10:00-11:00 PM EST

So sometime around there. Lockerz is trying their best to delete anyone who leaks the time, but it's inevitable... :lol

 

[Shadowlink]

Thanks for posting the times!

Whitehawk, are you going participate in the redemption?

 

[Clevinger]

Yeah, But these are the times apparently:

Feb. 25 Wave Times:
Wave 1: Between 6:00-7:00 PM EST
Wave 2: Between 8:00-9:00 PM EST

The way they've been wording it it seems like you're purchasing a chance to even participate in the waves you buy, not just learning the times. So even if you managed to get in and redeem something, they'd probably just say, "Nope. You didn't pay to enter."

 

[Stat Flow]

You do have to pay to enter...

Also, I love how they said they'd give the exact times, but they gave a range. Someone could look away for a minute or go to the bathroom and it'd be over. :lol

I knew paying would be stupid, glad I decided not to. -_-

 

[AstroMan]

Well, I just spent my 100 points. Sure hope I can get what I want, bet I can't.

 

[Shadowlink]

Same! They'll probably do the same thing with the general redemption.

 

[JBuccCP]

Went ahead and bought one chance, wish I had come here first and seen the times. "Exact time" my ass, assholes.

 

[Xater]

So isn't it possible to Z-list yourself? mean it's not hard to create a bunch of e-mail accounts....

 

[VariantX04]

Do I want to participate in this?

 

[Gui_PT]

Do I want to participate in this?

I don't know. Do you?

 

[gamergirly]

Yeah, But these are the times apparently:

Let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeee

 

[SundaySounds]

So isn't it possible to Z-list yourself? mean it's not hard to create a bunch of e-mail accounts....

yeah, I've been kinda thinking I might do just that. lol.

 

[oatmeal]

So how does the redeeming part work?

You just keep hitting F5 until the screen changes?

How long are the lines usually open?

I'm considering buying one chance (I have 300 points)...it's not like I'm going to spend it on anything else.

 

[Subliminal]

Fuck lockers. 5-6 AM Uk Time

 

[Stat Flow]

How long are the lines usually open?

10-20 seconds for big prizes. half a minute to 45 seconds for good prizes. Everything else lasts about 3-5 minutes.

Don't waste your ptz on chances.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Yeah, But these are the times apparently:

Feb. 25 Wave Times:
Wave 1: Between 6:00-7:00 PM EST
Wave 2: Between 8:00-9:00 PM EST
Wave 3: Between 10:00-11:00 PM EST

So sometime around there. Lockerz is trying their best to delete anyone who leaks the time, but it's inevitable... :lol

Now this what I'm interested in. Which waves are you a part of if you only buy 1 or 2 chances? If Wave 3 is the "first" wave you redeem for, you're competing with everyone who bought 1, 2, and 3 waves. Conversely, if Wave 1 is "last", then you only compete with those who bought all 3 waves. So if you get all 3 waves, your chance of redemption decreases with each wave, falling to near-zero during the general redemption.

 

[J@hranimo]

I'm glad I only take 2 minutes everyday for this site. It would be nice to get something, but it doesn't seem dependable. I'm taking this is in stride.

 

[Donos]

2 minutes ? what are you writing at the dailies ? i usually type "yes" "no" or "hell no" or "fuck yeah" and i'm out. takes 10-15 seconds for the whole site and 4 PTZ.

 

[nodish2]

lol, I don't even answer the dailies, I just press a random letter on the keyboard and leave.
