We give out a lot of prizes every week. Two for EXP, 1 F’ing Giving, 1 Twitter Giveaway, and 1 YesAsia in addition to whatever else we do on a regular basis like Autograph giveaways and MLG matches, and Decathlon events. Now because we love you guys, we’re adding more giveaways as well as a few extra ways to score EXP!
First change - One of the weekly EXP prizes will be used for another weekly giveaway called “Ningin <3 You” which will only be for users level 5 and higher. “Ningin <3 You" will start 6/11. This is a thanks to all you loyal users of Ningin. We'll get into more detail on that when it starts. We're still going to use the new method to determine the winner of the lone weekly EXP prize with one small change. Only the top 5 of the week are eligible to win something.
Our sister gaming site, Wirebot, will start giving out games based on EXP. This is scheduled for sometime in June. So that’s another way to win more stuff. More details on that later as well.
Blog Games Update - We’ve been noticing that a lot of you are able to guess correctly in under 10 minutes for our blog games. So we’re going to start keeping track of that and give EXP points for those as well. If you guess one of our blog games correctly in under 10 mins, you get a bonus 25 EXP points!
ndhaa was the first person to submit a game bug for AstroFlyer. Technically it’s not a bug, but it’s a way to abuse the game mechanics to get a lot of points. It was very insightful of her and she greatly deserves the 500 EXP bonus I gave her. The explanation was very clear and conscise and I want to repeat it here to show you what I’m looking for:
“Everytime you fail on a level and restart it, the score just continues. So basically you can play (for example) on the 2nd level but kill yourself at the end of the track, then you restart that level to gain score again and again, until you’ve only got 1 life left. You use that one life to gain score as high as possible on level 3. Probably this is not a bug but this system gave you an advantage. It’s like.. You can get high score only by playing on the 2nd level, and probably others are really good and pass the levels, but the score is about the same.”
Lots of updates coming up including some pretty big ones =)
