Across_the_Universe Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I just saw another triple winner. And the guitar was uncovered rather well. 3:18 left for me now, after my attempt yesterday was foiled by my laptop overheating Triple win, Guitar, and me surrounded by party poopers.

nay Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 NOOOOO! 30 minutes left and I get disconnected!!!! I saw you had disappeared and figured that's what happened. That sucks! I lost when I played again, got disconnected overnight, and now I'm back in line. 5 hours and 49 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Got disconnected in the middle of my turn. But then I got to see the guy climb in to restock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I just saw someone get a gift ball and 2 colored balls, but the gift ball was stuck in the claw! Someone had to reach in and take it. I don't know if this happens a lot. I need to watch the live feed more often! The claw is open, but it won't let go of the ball. The ball being manually removed from the claw.

Homeboy23 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ^ Ya I saw the same thing. I wonder if he/she still wins the gift since it got stuck? I only have 2 hours left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Anyone notice that they cranked up the claw's speed? Game times could happen quicker now...maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronkv Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ^ Just got in line to check it out. It is quite a bit faster, probably will lead to shorter waits. I know all the times when I played I didn't have less than 10 seconds left on the timer, the one time I did win I had 30 seconds left, and that's only because it took so long to get across the machine to what I was going for.

SharkTums Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Oh wow! It is much faster! I got in line around 8am and was given the standard 8+ hour wait time and at 11am am already down to 3.5 hours! This will make it much trickier to time out now.

Homeboy23 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just played for the first time an hour ago and almost got something but it fell out. Definitely will be doing this again in the morning, do not feel like waiting 8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wolverine Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 So yeah... my attempt I planned for last night? Didn't happen; my internet decided to disconnect. Will try again tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronkv Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Love how they are constantly trying to improve the game and make it more user friendly. Instead of just doing something half assed, put up and let it go style, just for publicity. Not that I'd have a problem with that, they didn't have to do this in the first place. Top it off with no ads! Didn't know something like this would ever get made without being bombarded by advertising, let alone be this level of quality! Kudos to them for sure! Go buy a shirt!

larrygator Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) ^You might think it is ad free, but the whole contraption and buzz around it is marketing for the Design firm. Very smart move, even if only a few of us ever have the need to hire a design firm. I don't see the line being any quicker. The wait has always been projected at 1 minute, per person ahead of you. If the line does move quicker that is the result of more people dropping. Edited January 13, 2011 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esvadj Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Oh wow! It is much faster! I got in line around 8am and was given the standard 8+ hour wait time and at 11am am already down to 3.5 hours! This will make it much trickier to time out now. I got in line at 8:50 am east coast time and I was give the 8+. Now at 2:30 I am 30 minutes out with 27 in front of me.

larrygator Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I got in line around 10:15 with a projected start time of 6:00. Right now my projected start time is 5:30, not a huge difference in what I experienced over the weekend and earlier in the week.

I'm sure the bang for the buck on this is a lot better than traditional advertising. I just like they aren't pushing their firm or a pop up or something about them or someone else.

odene497 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 7 Hours and 50 minutes to go! Everyone in my group is "sleeping". It's like being in a terminal in the middle of the night. edit: I went to close the tab after I posted, but I closed the claw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 3.5 hour to go again. Times haven't really sped up though. Just gives us more of a chance to move the claw. My coworker is anxious to watch me fail again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCFreak Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hahah so I failed miserably another three times and am back in line another three times (Rcfreak, rcfreak02, and Hectorious), Man it's a LOT harder now with the majority of the prizes shoved to the corners and a lot of the small balls in there.

Aaronkv Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Amazing the line is 490 people long and I see the same people in it sometimes! I've never gotten kicked or disconnected from the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Three hours, 1 minute remaining till I get to try and epic fail again... I will admit, this is the most brilliant, useless and amazingly fun fad of the new century- so far. Chalk this one up there with Pet Rocks, Troll Dolls, Chia Pets, etc. R.D.
