Can someone help me out on the final step. It says choose one of the following, but which one is the easiest and free, and no hassle of being contacted? Thanks!


Don't sign up until you get a referral link, kind of defeats the purpose...

Dj Tet, we already decided we're gonna do both the flat screens and iPods. So if you only want one, just sign up for both and complete the offers for the person you're under, then don't worry about getting referrals for the one you don't want.

So far, I've sent PMs to with my referral links to:

1) B'z-chan
2) Boogie9IGN
3) yoshifumi
4) Archaix
5) Bort

As of right now, only Boogie has signed up (but not yet completed an offer).

Since the iPod needs 5 referrals and the flat screen needs 8, I'm not sure how we'll work this out, but we'll figure it out. After those 5 people sign up and complete their offers, we'll keep going down the line. I'll update this post as people complete their offers so everyone can keep track of the progress.

wait i was already signed up beforehand and already completed one offer, does that throw things off?

Mason if I may suggest...

You should write up some instructions on how to do this...so you avoid all the questions and it streamlines it for everyone.

Something like...

1. Get referral link and sign up for the freebie
2. Complete the required info
3. Get names of people that are next on the list from Mason and put them as your referrals
4. Wait for your free stuff.

yoshifumi-Does it actually say that you completed it? I'm just curious.

not yet but this is the third offer i've completed and the first two said i completed it after awhile and won't let me do it again

pretty much

the whole thing is to refer other people, and work off their referrals

Since you are under Mason, for the thing to work, you would have to sign up under Mason's referral link and THEN sign up for the offer.

Without referrals, this thing is useless.


countdown to thread implosion with referral links because they don't understand the deall...3...2...1...

Well he would just have to be taken off the list or sign up under another address/email etc

He could still complete his offer by using friends or other people with him at the top.

As long as everyone else understands that you DON'T SIGN UP without a referral...then we're cool :)

I'm being ignorant here. What does this mean? I have to wait for Mason to PM for the referral link?

Yes.

Nobody sign up before you get a PM with a link in it. Do not sign up.
 
Oh and can we please please get like an edit of the first post in this thread or something, with really clear instructions on what to do?

I'm confused a little..

Wow, between people PMing me instead of posting their participation request in the thread, signing up when they're not supposed to, and editing their earlier posts to get ahead in line, this is going downhill FAST. Everyone just sit tight until I figure out how to get this organized fairly and write some instructions.

Everyone who wants in PM me, we'll start from scratch and I'll provide the easiest way of doing this thing. First come first serve.

So pm me with which one you want to do. I'll get this thing organized. I did the freevideogames.com thread so I know how to work this

bah i signed up weeks ago

Dont worry about it. we can still do this thing

Just from here on out no one sign up. I'll see if I can make some sense of all of this. and figure out a way for this to work for everyone. THe easiest way is to use ebay which requires an email address from a pay ISP. so keep that in mind

Wait, some of us already signed up under mason.

If you already signed up weeks ago, you can't participate in this. You have to sign up with someone's referral link. The only way you can participate is by creating a new account (change something in your address from Street to St. or something like that) and get in line again.

And please everyone sit tight and DO NOT PM robochimp until I get sorted out what I have, then I'll turn it over to him if he wants to spearhead this.

Sorry if this was already mentioned, and I don't feel like resarching this info becauseI'm lazy and all, but what kind of things do you have to complete to get the free Ipod? Do you have to sign up for something with your credit card and cancel before they bill you or something?

One of the offers is a new ebay account and bidding on something. There are AOL trials and other such things that require a credit card, but you can cancel.

Just want to repeat this since the last time I said it is on the previous page:

Do not do anything until you get a PM telling you to.

pretty much, other than the ebay option, which only requires you to place a bid on something

Does the Ebay option only work if you have a new account, or can you use an account that you already have and bid on something? That sounds pretty safe to me but I don't want to make a new account since I'd need a new credit card I think

It says you need a new account. You don't need a credit card if you have a non-free email address.

You have to sign up for a new account, but you don't need a credit card. You just need an email address that isn't from a free site (yahoo, hotmail, etc).

Can I do this tommorrow morning? I'm about to go out, and unless I get a PM before 11, then I can do all this.


P.S. So choosing the ebay one would be the best solution?

Oh sweet. I think I may have to join in the fun here soon. I feel safe if I don't have to give a credit card number out

IF I SENT YOU A PM, YOU NEED TO SIGN UP AND PM ME THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USED. IF YOU ALREADY SIGNED UP, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.

Once I figure out who has signed up under me, we can get this straightened out!

It could take a while, we're sort of playing by ear here.

Just sit tight, be patient. We don't want to rush and fuck it all up.

Anyone want to recommend what type of stuff on EBAY to bid on?

EDIT : Nevermind, I just bid on some pottery my wife wants.
