Capture The Prize - Play games to win prizes - Games

[b]There is now a new way to win! If you have the most referrals at the end of the month, you'll win $50. The referred person needs to be participating in the contest for you to get credit. So do me a favor, when you sign up, use this link [url]http://www.capturetheprize.com/register.php?referrerid=6[/url] :dance:[/b] This new site called [url=http://www.capturetheprize.com]Capture The Prize[/url] rewards gamers for playing games. All you have to do is play on one of their servers and at the end of the month, a winner from the most active players is chosen randomly. This month's prize is a $50 Steam gift certificate. To be in the contest, just register on the site. Your account has to be approved before the stats are tracked. If you use Yahoo, Comcast, or AOL you may not receive emails due the mail server being blacklisted. The owner has put in a request to get this lifted, but it will probably take a couple of weeks. It got blacklisted due to some exploited feature on the websites, which I believe has been fixed. Yes, I do know the owner of the site, but he did not ask me to do this and he's not paying me. This site is new (so it may be buggy), and hasn't really kicked off yet, so I thought this would be the perfect way to do it. I haven't really posted here in a while, but I don't think I'm breaking any rules, and I hope this doesn't count as advertising. At the moment, the games are all Source/GoldSrc based games and mods.

They don't have any TF2 servers :(

They need more servers!

TF2 in the banner but no TF2 servers.

There were TF2 servers, but I think they got taken down due to lack of traffic. I'll see if I can get the owner to add one. [b]Edit:[/b] He said he'll add one tomorrow! :dance: [b]Edit:[/b] He's going to add it now! :dance:

It better not be a 32 player 24/7 2fort allcrit low gravity server [editline]10:17PM[/editline] What's your username so I can refer you?

It's vanilla TF2, and my username is halo4life.

Ok I registered, sadly I'll have to use my GMail account. Where are the servers located?

What about a L4D server? :shobon:

What if we don't have a paypal and we don't want it sent to our houses, can we just ask him to gift the prizes to us?

[QUOTE=gReplay;17170536]What if we don't have a paypal and we don't want it sent to our houses, can we just ask him to gift the prizes to us?[/QUOTE] I was gonna ask that exact question

He probably won't change anymore servers for now, but I'll ask. [b]The Team Fortress 2 server is up and it's info is on the server list.[/b]

If he gets a L4D server, I'll sign up.

He says no to L4D because it's too small and uses too many resources.

We need people on the tf2 server im alone.

Then too bad for him.

I'm going to bed, so I'll answer any questions when I get up.

I'm here, so you can get the answers straight from the horses mouth. P.S. I'm the owner of CTP.

Seriously More people would be nice. [editline]04:22AM[/editline] Yay hes here! [editline]04:22AM[/editline] I joind like 30 min ago. [editline]04:24AM[/editline] How Often does it update the time?

It updates in real time. There may be periods where it doesn't update in real time. During these times either lots of people's stats are being tracked or the tracker crashed. When that happens, create a ticket on the website and i will check the tracker.

can he mail me 50 dollars in rubber balls?

Yeah my time hasent been updated yet and I was jsut on the TF2 server for like 30 min.

[QUOTE=deathjunior;17171499]Can't register since some database is fucked. Also would it be possible to get Microsoft Points from this?[/QUOTE] Database? The site database is working fine. Not possible at this time for Microsoft Points. As for your playing not recording 30 minutes. It's because you started playing on the server before your account was activated. Once your account is activated, any time you accumulate from that point on is recorded but not the time accumulated before your account was activated.

Nope I already had some time before this incident.

Maybe I just suck but I hate doing these kinds of things because you know the guys who are the "top players" always have fucking crazy-high-Korean-style high scores and that you'll never get there unless you literally spend hours getting said score a day.

It's top players as in most active players. I'm an idiot for not saying that. I fixed the main post.

Most active players as in 100 players with the highest playing time. Let's say there are 200 people in the contest. Of those 200; 100 people wit the highest playing time are eligible to win a prize. The prize is not given based on the highest playing time of the top 100, its awarded randomly from those 100 people. If you want to be in the top 100, all you have to do is get higher playing time than one of the people in the top 100 to steal their spot. [editline]12:56AM[/editline] [QUOTE=skylortrexle;17171663]Nope I already had some time before this incident.[/QUOTE] Actually you didn't. As i was activating your account, i saw you in the server (i have HLSW on a secondary screen and web browser on primary) and your playing time was 16min in the server as i activated your account. So any time you got after that was tracked.
