"UK, Germany and France not eligible for prizes"
LOL. No, but wouldn't that be HILARious?
I'm just bitter because I live in MD... :(

That blows to live in the US and not receive prizes. But in the same regards I'd just put a relatives address from out of state and have everything go there...

Good for Mr. Mutantdog and the rest of the people that are always in the top 20. Till they fix this shit, I'm out regardless of what prices they wave in my face, cause if it's skill based that means any of us "normal" people won't stand a chance.

I'm just waiting for wheel of fortune to come (they said it would be included eventually). Pretty hard to cheat or be "too good" in that game.

It is incredibly easy to cheat in that game. There are innumerable software tools at home that will generate all English words that match patterns like:
_ _ N B _ Y
The only reason 1 vs 100 works is because it requires responses faster than most people can execute an Internet search.

according to the 1 vs 100 FAQ, you can only be 'The One' once per season, and in the Mob once per episode, so crying that MutantDog123 is ruining 1 vs 100 is pretty specious.
Besides, shouldn't the best players that create their own opportunities have more chances to win? For example, I certainly wouldn't complain that I couldn't win a Halo tournament, but I would still compete and have fun.

Yeah, maybe you can be The One once per season and in the Mob once per season. But that doesn't stop you from being in the Top 10 every single time. You're supposed to get prizes for that as well.
Maybe it just works like this in the beta, I don't know. What I do know is when I see that fucker in the top 10 every time, among some others, it pisses me off.
You're telling me he knows everything AND has magic flipper fingers? Fuck that.

See I didn't know that... oh well, either way, I hope MutantDog123 breaks both his hands.

so angry. Don't worry about MutantDog. There's also been weird shit going on with scoring. One night I noticed that the top 20 scores were like 12,000 after one question in each round. But it's a Beta, this is something that is being worked out. If he's smart and fast, good for him, he should win some loot for that, there's a limit to how much he can win.

The weird score shit has been fixed, for far. Nothing to do with Mutant Dog 123. Since mostly he gets in the top 10 on extended play, since the questions are so so repeated. Anyone with a good memory and lots of time to play every extend play game can get a 30-40% score increase. I played recently, a Live game with stilladream and swimref. Myself and another guy, Insurgenator beat them on a couple of ones. :)

It's not just that. He was in the top 3 (the prize positions) twice during this last Friday's live session. The guy is a robot or something.

Anyone know if these beta work across regions? I have several friends who live in the UK (I am in the US) that I would love to play with.

Has there been any news on when the real game is going to get started as I am weary of the beta!
