Win free stuff from MicroSoft!

kiksq

http://club.live.com/home.aspx Basically, you play microsoft's shitty flash puzzles, that have a search engine attached to the bottom to earn "tickets". These tickets can be used to win free stuff, such as music, a 360 controller, T-shirts, a Zune, a 360 with free x-box live and games. For a full list of prizes (updated sometimes) go to https://club.live.com/get_prizes.aspx. The puzzles are sometimes hard as shit, and at the moment me and my friends are trying to snag some 360 controllers for Cortex Command and PC games.

Have Fun.

There are automated marcos for some, and cheats for all of them, so just ask.

Here are the ticket tallies for the games currently available:
Lexicon 25 tickets
Chicktionary 20 tickets
Crosswire 20 tickets
Clink 10 tickets
Dingbats 3 tickets

It deeply amuses me that the copy of Vista (Retail Price: USD 400) "costs" 6000 tickets, and the Zune (Retail Price: USD 250) costs 20,000.

It is cheaper to make vista than it is to make zune.

Bounty1Berry

@kiksq:

Yes, I know that. What amuses me is that when they aren't getting real money, they feel absolutely no need to keep up the imaginary impression of value that a higher price conveys. It's a subtle admission they know it's not worth as much as they charge for it.

Seems to be.

I just need to play 1750 20 Point Games, getting all the points to get an XBox 360… This is gonna take time. But it might be worth it. Who knows?

If I can join , I will try for the Zoo tycoon 2 complete edition

kiksq

Yep, all in this is free. Even the shipping. I have just ordered vista, for 6,000 points. I am going to sell it for around 300 dollars and try for another vista, to also sell and get around 600 dollars and buy a 360 :) Sneaky I am:ninja:

Bounty1Berry

How long did it take you? I'm tempted to acquire a copy of Vista that way (getting support for Windows 2000 on new hardware is growing difficult, and I won't spend any real money on Vista)

kiksq

You get the store version (I think) of ultimate. It took me 2 days off and on, about 15 hours. (I kinda cheated using places) I have pictures for the unsure.

Chicktionary is the best one, If you use this.

Free Word Descrambler and Word Finder

cbajd5

Well I just figured out in Crosswire you can just keep guessing without losing points. I can get 2 games done in about 15 minutes that way. This may be a good way for me to get vista instead of a 360…

Eh, I don't know...

How much can I sell Vista for anyways?

I can get you a bot/macro that can do it ALL which is around 2,000 points in an hour or two.

That'd be cool.

Is it safe though?

And could it be illegal? (This is actually a funny question because this is a site that promotes Fansubs/Manga scans. (Which are illegal… I think.))

And how would it work?

First edit
Just to inform the people here who get prizes,
It really dosen't take 6-8 weeks, it can take less, because I read someplace that someone got their prize in 5 days. So don't take the time too seriously. Unless your pessimistic, which then you'll think it'll never come. I think.

Third Edit (Second was wrong to my new knowlodge.):
Well I found a Macro from Cross wire (It's kind wierd., but useful)
I also found the answers for most of the Flexicons, and it's easier than the macro, even thogh each takes about 5- 10 minutes to fill out. I'll try more tomorrow. I'm gonna go sleep. BLAH. OSU!!

Cap'n Carter

The only thing I want from this site is a 360, so if I get bored one day it'll be a good way to get one without blowing my money.

cbajd5

Ok, how does someone get tickets without playing Games? (Not really asking, just making a point that that front "Look Who just earned ect." box is kinda flawed.)

kiksq

Oh how I wish I knew.

kryptonite

I played Flexicon thrice, and it made my computer lag reallt badly… When I closed out of it, the page file usage went down from over 700 MB to just over 400. :X

At 100 points, I'm already bored and aching. :E

EDIT: I found the answers to all of the flexicons, so now it's a breeze. But I got bored at 500...

kiksq

I have the answers to everything.

Meowch

These games are really boring and the tickets are going to take a while to get. But maybe if I play a little each day…

For how long will these prizes be available?

kiksq

Free 360, isn't going to happen for a while. If I were you I would get 2 vistas and sell them for 1 360.

On with the exploits.

Here are the only 2 bots out right now.

The Crosswire bot works great.

Saloma

Is anyone else having a problem actually playing the games? No matter when I try, the server isn't responding. Am I doing something wrong?

kiksq

I don't know what to say. It works for me. Try contacting there support.

There's a better way to solve flexicon… Just download the pictures of all the answers from somewhere. >_> It has not only the middle answer, but them all, and you don't need to search.

And how do you know people want Vista?

cbajd5

Still don't have enough for Vista Yet, but here's something completely random.

THAT'S CALLED RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS!

Saloma

Well, still nothing… Is it true you can only get 1000 points a day? 'Cause if it is, using a bot would definately make it seem suspicious.

cbajd5

@Saloma:

No, the one game has a max of 1000 points (Chicktionary) by beating all of it's puzzles, and at the end it said more puzzles every day, and people started with that game because the answers were easily avalible without bots, so people just got confused.

You can get more than 1000. I got 3000 some yesterday.

In other news, poeple took over an empty board to discuss this at gamefaqs, and that's where most of the bots come from. So go there. IF YOU CAN FIND IT!

Edit Link has now been SECRET'D!!!!!

Saloma

Holy shit… I've gotta get this thing working, you could make some serious money from this.

But still, won't they catch on people are doing this? I'm sure it's not normal for them to send out 10 million copies of Vista.

kryptonite

They only care about boosting hits on their search engine, probably…

cbajd5

@kryptonite:

That's it exactly, probably they'll nenver do anything about the crosswire bot because each time it clicks, it registers a click in the search. That gets alot of money for them. And to add to that point, they also get paid for the ads on the pages, and if they get more hits they can get more advertisers.

Basically they're trying to surpass google in the search engine hits.

Saloma

Then fuck being afraid of being sued, I'm getting that thing as soon as this server wants to work!

(I still find it kind of weird, but whatever…)

It's working for me right now…

and ayway to get money easily is good by me.

The only way microsoft might not be happy is if you use a script to change the seach page to a diffrent page. But noone really has to that with all the macros out there now.

I have one of those. :)

I know that.

Seriously, I figured that out when I first heard about it.

IT WAS SO OBVIOUS.

To add to this,

If you wanna return Vista to Somplace to get cash without a reciept, go to Sam's club, say you got it as a gift Online, They gaurentee returns as long as it's unopened and your a member.

OSU!!

cbajd5

Yeah, sorry for double Posting, but I'm gonna need to do this, it's a bot for Chicktionary, which is pretty hard to find, it helps alot.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/0cjza1

Edit: It won't work anymore. There's some wierd Server thing where it gets the answers and they made it so only people who are members at a private forum can join, so either use another or wait for someone to bypass the login process in the new one. (Not gonna post here for now.)

that's a nice bot … goes off to automate chicktionary

Bounty1Berry

I've gotten to 5250 and hoping to reach 6000 by the time the night's done; I want a copy of Vista because honestly, keeping Windows 2000 fed with drivers is becoming difficult, but I just can't spend $150+ on an OS (and the discounted OEM ones are not great- they're limited to one mainboard and I average a new board every year or two)

But I'm not cheating. Please don't ruin it for everyone… until I've cashed out. Then feel free to ruin it.

Wow, that's hella random. Couldn't you tell me about that before I bought Vista 3 days ago? @_@

Anyways I'll try it out. They have some stuff that'll help me a little. I might even buy a Vista, given the one I have now is Business.

EDIT:
I don't understand what to do O__O anyone help?

kryptonite

_> Has there been any news on this?

captain sogeking

I've racked up about 15,000 tickets in two days

soon I'll be able to replace my 360

Bounty1Berry

Has anyone actually seen goodies from this yet? Not just a "my friend says he got it?"

I figure 'I can't bitch until September because they didn't claim a ship date until late August' on my Vista.

KaizokuFan22

anyone get any stuff yet?

kryptonite

I'm debating between waiting for a 360 or getting a Vista and selling it for games. >_> Especially because everyone says they're not shipping it until August.

Rai

A little.. uh.. update..

The site just deleted everyone's tickets. And playing, even fairly, won't give you anything. Damn them.
