I'm kind of upset about this actually, i've been tirelessly searching for people to click my link and places to post it, and it all seems like it will be to no avail. I have a little less than 7200 tokens and I just dont understand how I can compete with these people, but I really want the Dragon age computer so so bad. I would want the Alienware m11x laptop, but I already have one. They are amazing laptops.

Well, there's no way in hell I'm winning anything. I took the Awaking quiz, but it didn't give me any points, I'm not a link spammer so I'm royally f'ed there and I've done every challenge, even with "creative" responses and haven't gotten a single thing.

Not photoshop, Firebug.
First, I'm sorry for purposely duping all of you. Generally I'm only helpful, nice, and courteous in all facets of life, e-life included. At the same time however, I can't help but smile because it brought about some interesting discussion. I hope we can continue to steer it in a nice direction.
I'm legitametely, in the same area as the rest of you, at around 7~8,000 hits.
That being said I share the same qualms the rest of you do, and possible even a few more. It is important to state someone having 20,000 tokens or so is, by my estimation, very possible.
Everyone can get the same amount of points regardless of what they own.
The quizzes for Dragon Age, last I checked, were not working.
I'll save you all trouble of doing the quizzes anyhow, register using:
Edited out, someone got banned for this.
Next step is uploading a character, download their application and follow along; pretty easy.
Twitter, well this is honestly where my real gripe is at. I can't prove how they pick people to be winners, but honestly I would assume as long as you respond with "@bioware #BioWareBazaar #MassEffect #DragonAge" in the appropriate region of time, you have been entered to win. ( Anecdotal, this is my belief, would love to be debunked ). [ In retrospect: Maybe I'm wrong, they probably randomize it, then screen the results; and continue pulling for good results. That seems logical to me. ]
Even if this wasn't the case, there are more flaws with the twitter contest. I'm a developer, what's to stop me from creating a loop that posts the correct string of information to enter me in the contest as MUCH as possible? ( I say as much because twitter API will only allow you to do so many updates per hour ) Regardless the person who does this, shifty as it may be, probably has a good chance at winning compared to my single entry.
Even more flaw, what happens when a user wins twice, or a user with multiple accounts wins twice (same contest, is my thought process here)?
I thought points were non-transferable, but there is absolutely nothing linking my profile here "Six to Eight" with my twitter profile "viisual" except a direct message from @biofeed. Not that I have tried this, but I'm sure someone has.
I've thought long and hard about the twitter contest, I do not like it.
This brings me to the referral program. I wont tell you in this thread how people are doing it but any PM or email coming my way will get a response on how. The only fair way to play this game is to beat them (people using the method) at their own game. Even still, if someone using this method has access to a high volume traffic site, we literally are all not going to win anything, even a lithograph or t-shirt.
My suggestion:
I think that if the extra referrals per day were capped to 500 points, then everyone is playing on the same level... except for winning a twitter contest. As long as the twitter contest is judged and not random, I think that is a little more balanced. Otherwise the only true saving grace is that users are limited (2) prize vouchers.
I will still keep playing, and I will focus on trying to "win" by referrals. I'm trying to keep optimistic. I mean how many people really could have a very high tally count? ( /optimism off Probably only enough to take the computers and other cool expensive prizes. )
This contest seems to primarily rewards those who can get the most traffic to a page, on any given day.
TL;DR:
Photoshopped, the shadows are all wrong.
sry

I bought a Google ads thing and I now have 50,000 tokens! However, I am now down about $450 because I have to pay a cent for every click.
lol if only someone would do something so dumb.

That is terribly stupid. Really. You can buy most of this stuff for less than $450.

Alright, so as of now... 6294 and I haven't done the character creator yet. So we shall see.
And guys, I think we needa approach this as not winning something, but having fun. I mean, it'd be awesome to win an m11x, but even if I only get a hat or a hoodie (a poster would be sweet!!), hey, thats more than I woulda had before this contest. And its got me connected with some cool people.
And besides... at least the hoodie will keep me warm while I play more ME2 or DA and wait for TOR through this winter.

If someone did this... I'd say they deserve to win the prizes. I mean seriously... what idiocy would lead you to such a thing.

Oh, and I suspect Bioware might throw in some random unannounced daily events. Maybe?

Momochi, I'm sorry, but I don't see any difference between my comment and the two comments before me about the same situation.
If I mistook your response on my comment, please forgive me.
And I REALLY hope no one does that. I mean... might end up costing u more than what you'd pay for items in the first place.

6080. Unfortunately the character creator isn't working for me, so I can't get that much needed 500. Tweeting as much as I can.
I'd appreciate any clicks. http://social.bioware.com/brc/1199202

Good catch, modify your source from:
Quick glimpse shows you have a leading http:// AS WELL as missing a colon between http and //
as per:
http:// http//social.bioware.com/brc/1688842
Hope this helps ;D All credit goes to krazmych though.
