Morphing Game Rules

I would like to give "tcandkk" a well deserved "Thank you!" for creating a new Daily Rager's Discussion Forum. Many of the Daily Rage regular players have joined after several weeks apart. You can find the forum at: http://www.kismetdesigns.com/drforum/index.php

Some interesting information has been reported on the board about prize winning in the MTV version of the game. After reading the "fine print" tcandkk posted the following quote from the "official rules" of the game:


GAME DESCRIPTION: Each player who refers another player who accurately registers their Account Information (?Referred Player?) will receive one (1) entry into the MGPD for each such Referred Player during the applicable MCP as set forth more fully below.

WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: A random drawing for the "Monthly" Grand Prize will be held within one (1) business day after the last Daily Entry Period of the applicable month in each instance. Drawings will include only those players who have provided Referred Player(s) during the applicable month's Daily Entry Periods for the drawing in question and will be conducted by Sponsor user randomization methods selected in its sole and absolute discretion.

This differs from the old game in that the monthly winners were chosen from the pool of daily winners. Also, the total amount awarded in the monthly game accrued according to the number of daily entries. According to the latest rules post, the monthly grand prize is limited to $5ooo.oo despite a monthly prize total which accrues at the bottom right hand screen.

FIRST PRIZE: One (1) First Prize is available each Daily Entry Period. First Prize for current Daily Entry Period will be posted on the Website but in no event shall exceed $5,000.

Other interesting pieces of information gleaned from the "Official Rules":


If a prize winner makes any false statement in any document related to DRC, or if it is discovered that a winner has registered for DRC online simultaneously using more than one account, the winner will be required to promptly return to Sponsor upon demand her or his prize(s) or, at Sponsor's option, the cash equivalent of the prize(s) based on the ARV published on the Website.
I think that the "false statement" clause is interesting, given the discord among the beta players and the winners of past games who have not received their prize money as of yet.

Anyone who plays Daily Rage with regularity would do well to read the rules carefully. No mention is made of the fact that users on the Leader Board also gain entries into the monthly grand prize drawing. Interesting. There is a quandary here: use your gems to gain more entries into the daily game - or save them for more chances in the monthly game.
