OFFICIAL SPOOKTACULAR 2009 Thread!

[Kabukiman]

WOOOOOHOOOOOO I WON SCAVENGER HUNT!!!!!!
My first win ever on any Spooktacular!! AND what a way to break the jinx with the Grand Prize. Now my Captain America PF has a worthy partner. Thank goodness the entry earlier than mine put the wrong trivia answer. Really sorry for the Dude but overjoyed at the same time.
Rock on Dudes!! CYA next Spooks!!!

Go Taazzy! We all knew you would get it! Though you weren't the the first! Somebody got there before you and put "Second Chance" as the answer. Poor guy, but that's what happens when you rush things.

For the record - Sideshow said in the comments section of the scavenger hunt page that those who did not put "the" in "The Sideshow Retail Network" were still in the running!

Runner up prizes were rebel trooper dude.

 

[Taazzy]

Congrats Tazzy! It took a good ten minutes before the mistress would give up the final word to me.

Thanks man. Yeah it took me about 3 mins of clicking before the word came up. Quite fortunate though.

 

[Kabukiman]

I had the 20th word before Spooktacular even started.

I'm ashamed to admit that I did as well. In fact, I had all but three of the entire scavenger hunt list by the end of the first night.

For those wondering how that could happen, the promo word box was accepting words that weren't released yet on the first day. So words could be figured by just "guessing".

A noob (Thundarr ) came on SSF and posted about it (I quickly told him off in a very rude manner, for which I'm still sorry for, but my mind was all "Keep it secret, keep it safe" at the time ) and then the cat was out of the bag. Dusty equated it to cheating (though I think those of us that did it thought we were just being clever - I mean if the site allows it, it must be okay, right?). After that, I played fair and was far less of a *********.

So Kabukiman's spook lessons this year are:

1) Karma's a ^^^^^.

2) When you're good, karma will reward you with CHAINSAWs!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you got it Taazzy!

 

[Shropt]

Congrats Taazzy. You must have been on the ball to be the first person with that final word.

 

[UTtoyfan]

Awesome taazy!!!! I knew you would get it!!! You were the one that came in chat and even told us the 20th word was out there!

 

[BuffyGirl]

Way to go Taaaaaaazy.

Just for anyone who hasn't thought about it. When you miss talking to each other, this forum does have a chat room. So we can meet up there sometime.

 

[roguebaron]

Congrats taazy, Karma worked it's magic for you this year, you shared with us and you won big! Enjoy!

 

[Darth Madden]

Yeah, not confused anymore. I just thought that Madden won the hunt? Obviously it was a different contest!

Mine was just the regular red skull contest where you have to input the rednoggin word. Congrats Taazzy on being fast enough to get that done in time.

 

[MadCow]

Thank you. Say how did you get the 20th word so soon?

ME TOO!!! I had actually 18 words before Spooktacular even started, but there were actually 2 words that worked for the second word, CEMETERY and SPOOKY...

We were in there last night Buff, where were you?

Seriously though I'm thinking about having a scheduled chat on the 3rd Friday of every month. I think I need to start a thread and get some backers.

Maybe we can even get some Sideshow folk to show up?

 

[Boba Fett]

My free CHAINSAW arrives today!

Can't wait to check him out!

 

[Taazzy]

Thank you very much Guys and Gals! I am suffering from Spooks Withdrawal Syndrome(SWS?) With or without wins, i had a blast this Spooks. Count me in for next year's Madness. I really hope SSC seriously consider organising more of such events(Say quarterly?).

Kabukiman - Wow one would have thought that Sideshow would have anticipated such guesses by collectors. Yeah i guess i left the losers list with a Bang. I would actually be happy with winning just a SSC cap. But scavenger grand prize takes the cake of course .

Shropt - I was just at the right place at the right time. I never expected the 20th word to be on Mistress, i thought it would be on the final "Help Wanted" video. I was just clicking on Mistress to find a discount (Chainsaw needs to be on GC eligible list! The wait goes on).

UTtoyfan - Haha yeah thats me Taaz. Quite disappointed noone believed me at first. Serves me right for being a long time lurker(cos i'm not a terribly chatty person) Will try to contribute more from now onwards .

BuffyGirl - I didn't know that the forum has a chatroom, could you give me the chatroom/server details?

Roguebaron - yeah i guess Karma is in sync this year, cheers man!

Congrats Taaz! I saw your post in chat and I was "What?! No way it's already up!" I had a frying pan in my hand trying to cook some late breakfast for myself then kicking myself for not trying to find it first thing like I'd done all week.

I'm still hoping for a win on the decoder contest although Kabukiman's shameless stunt might trump mine.

 

[superdoug]

Congrats Taazzy!

 

[barryo]

they got me back in 06'.............

This is definitely a good idea.

Congrats to all the winners again! You guys are getting some cool stuff!

Are there going to bo prizes?

I think somebody might have a Bossk bust just lying around that would make a great prize

That is the question. I think it would be cool if we could get some guest stars or prizes. I wonder after 3 years of Spook if I have any connections with Sideshow folk?

I hope it does! But they usually give out a couple prizes for the photo contests so you still have a chance regardless of where I come out. Which one is yours?

I put myself in the theater with Michael Jackson's Thriller video. I thought it was fitting. I wanted to find a picture of the movie theater from The Blob and have everyone wearing decoder glasses but I failed to find a good shot. I tried to be a little mroe creative than putting the glasses on a toy or....a dog?
