If I'm next on the list, I'll complain like there's no tomorrow. :laugh:

I think he means proactive complaints. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if a handful of people here have contacted MK.

True story: Winner is not eligible for prize. Plain, simple, done and done.

True story: MK people are watching here and now will be alert to mismatched names on the affidavit.

True story: Picking the next winner down is a lot cheaper than potentially getting sued by someone who didn't win because the pool was 1,200 ineligible votes bigger and thus, not in accordance with the rules set forth in the sweepstakes guidelines.

But also, autter skirted the one-account-per-household rule, which I was surprised about. I think since they were two different people and both (ostensibly) actively contributing, it's been mostly overlooked, but them's were the rules, too.

I still don't know where everyone found this list of winners!

There is no such list yet. Due a snafu from MK we were able to learn the destination of some

envelopes delivered by DHL, if you didn't get one yet, most probably you are not on the top

15 first prize winners.

Hang in there and be patient for the other prizes.

OK this is the final line on this one. Please read and take note.

MK is fully aware of all situations surrounding Jason and will act in the way they see fit.

All possible lines of discussion related to this situation have now been exhausted and most posts now are simply saying the same thing, or flaming the individual in question.

For this reason, as moderator of the forum I'm requesting you now cease discussing this situation. I am quite sure Jason can see the uproar that's been caused surrounding his first place win, and now the matter is being dealt with by MK.

Nothing good can come from discussing this further. I appreciate your support and cooperation in this; let's not let this thread descend any more negatively than it has already.

Thank you! :)

I was getting so sick and tired of the discussion.

This has been brought up before. It's not 1 registration per household. The "Oficial Rules" state: Limit one (1) Registration per person per household

Audrey won fair and square.

Congrats Audrey! :yes:

Agreed. 1 per person, per household. If you have 4 family members, all 4 could have played. I think that there were only 2 outstanding questions, which really don't matter at this point:

1. Did Audrey play herself, or did her husband just have her use her account to enter an alternative answer?

2. How did Audrey or her hubby figure out Ivy as the answer on Sunday, long before 42Entertainment decided to give the 3 other clues that led us to Hardee, MS?

I'm really curious to know how many points winner people has collected in the game..Someone know that? :p

I'm not a winner (YET!), but I had 1,470 points. All four boxes completed, plus 17 referrals (real ones).

Just watch...a cluster of people who didn't even do all four boxes might win big. :pinch:

I read somewhere that the winner to the meta-puzzle didn't answer the correct answer until late Tuesday night. This can't be right, because I know for a fact a member on her (not brilo or Autter) solved the Ivy thing on Tuesday afternoon. Can't remember his name and I'm too lazy to dig back thru the posts.

Maybe that member then went and changed their answer, as only the latest answer is taken.

Well I can tell you that I got 980.

It's kinda a kick in the teeth when someone with a low score wins first prize, and many many others with the full 1300 at least, win nothing.

Congrats to you though I hope you enjoy the prize when you get it :)

Number 1 is fairly irrelevant, as far as I'm concerned. Number 2 is an easy one to answer. She guessed. When you're looking for girls names starting with I, the list isn't that big. In fact, the very first thing I did was pull up a list on the internet, look for likely names, and took an educated guess. Almost had it, too ... because I was between picking Ivy and Irene, and went with Irene, and this was fairly EARLY on Sunday. Irene then became a front-runner later that afternoon, and I was feeling pretty confident that I had it before anyone else. If only I had chosen Ivy, I would have won. As it stands, I stopped following the game after making that guess so that I couldn't be swayed into changing my answer ... and then missed the remaining clues. No sour grapes, though ... that's how these things go. :)

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
