totally awsome for the millionth user! what  A RIG!!!    congrats to whoever gets it...lucky buggers!!!

An award is generally given to someone who has made some kind of great accomplishment. Calling it an AWARD rather than just a PRIZE is even worse from a semantic point of view.

But thanks for trying.

lol brad is draginol

lol, vamp... you and sarcasm don't get along much, do you?

Yes...I'm trying....

But some are even more.....

Speaking only for myself here,but I am ok with just being one of the 999,999 customers who made this event possible.

Congrats in advance to the lucky one-millionth.

I wake up on my side of the Pacific after there being a few small comments about the clarification of the terms and a couple of whiners when i went to bed.

I now see 4 pages of asshats, not everyone of course, complaining cause they can't win.

For christs sake people!!! Where is the 6ft guy with the big gun that made you purchase products through Impulse? You obviously saw something worth your cash on there and handed it over. No-one made you become a customer befor the 1M, you made a choice based on what service or product SD was offering and went with it. You would rather not have been playing GC2 or SINS etc all this time? Or perhaps you would rather your desktop still looked like Mr Gates 4 yr old's pre-school painting?

It was obviously value to you at the time but now you are cheated/wronged! You didn't make a great purchase?

You must be after a refund then, if you are so pissed off. I'm sure Brad can see to that.

If you really want to be the millionth customer and win something, i'm sure there is a flashy banner add on some web site that will draw you in.

And i bet you won't have to buy anything!! Good for you hey? Quick run to it, click away, sign up!!!

Geeez.....

Serioulsy though, and unless i get slapped by Brad for this, i can tell you how you can all be the 1M customer.

Make a new email address.

Log into Impulse and click the Impulse Orb.

Click change login, and then Create new account.

Once you have created your account and validated it and such, buy something cheap.

There, done, your new account might just have the chance to win. You have just bought another great product and got a chance at the prize and SD just made some more cash.

As for fraud, where? You are a legitimate paying customer, this might not be the perfect situation Brad and SD had in mind, but they just earned more money didn't they?

I feel certain that not all of the almost one million Impulse users have made a purchase with Impulse. I'm a user and a avid Stardock customer, yet I've never made a purchase with Impulse. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

If this is going to the millionth Impulse "customer" and not the millionth user, it could be a while before it's given away.

But...what an awesome give away!!!

Someone is going to be a happy pup when they get this beast.

I asked this of Brad in another thread. He said that there are already millions of registered users. This is for the 1M purchaser.

Impulse had done better than you thought huh? Yeah, me too.

Edit - From the Stardock's Impulse Nears Millionth User thread.

Seriously?

[EDIT] Neilo beat me to it.

Seems pretty simple to me, motivation to register new purchasers. Nice prize

duh...really? Thanx Vamp. Did you really think I didn't know that?

I give up. I try to make a joke out of the moronic whining, pissing and moaning and not even that is understood. Thanx, reg.

Jafo...stop trying to explain the obvious. It just ain't gonna happen.

I've got a new graphite wheelchair and I lost my hair at the age of 26, does this qualify me to win the rig.....I am worthy.....I am worthy..........I say hats off to the guy who wins it, that person is gonna be one lucky son of a gun, don't yer think, imagine if it was you, that sometimes does the trick for me.....by the way, did I tell you I got a new graphite wheelchair Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha......Stardock and Wincustomise rule, and rock, and are wicked cool........this is the place to be...I mean you don't even have to have supported them, can you imagine you log onto to Impulse, buy a game or some software and next thing you are being told you have just won a 4000 dollar computer.....Whoooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the person gets that news Ha Ha Ha Ha their facial expression will never, ever be forgotten.......I say once again, this whole thing wickedly rocks big time Elvis style......did I tell you I got a new graphite wheelchair Ha Ha Ha Ha

The more I have gone back and read both threads on this, the more I'm confused now. Brad, will you please define this in stone?

If we already have an account and make a NEW purchase, are we eligible? Your post #32 in the other thread does indicate that statement to be true.

For any of you that THINK I'm one of the ones " whining " about this, think again. People asking for postive, plain-speak clarification is not whining. There are too many conflicting statements from SD reps in this, or rather are just not specific enough.

Award, Contest, whatever.. giving away a pc is a noble thing.

But then you would not be the millionth customer. You are customer # 456,874 or whatever it may be who has made a new purchase. It's not the millionth purchase they are rewarding, i'm sure they are well past that.

Make a new account like i outlined in reply 97 and make a purchase and then you would be eligable, i assume.

Though i am waiting to see if this will be frowned upon. If not, i will be pre-ordering Elemental.
