k1 : Parsley the fast

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

More than one month k1 has ended, and no news from Parsley (and of course no news for the prize I won ; maybe "later in the century")

Anyone has ? Still snowing on his page ?

Maybe he's done a runner. My understanding is that $50 was earned from banner clicks, the sponsors then pulled out so $50 became the final prize money for 1st place. If Chris is still around then it's a matter of honour for him to pay up but this is none of my business now of course because I didn't win!

Actually twice in my life I have been 'diddled' out of the prize for 1st place in video game competitions, a Sega Rally competition (£50), and a Mr. Do! competition (actual prize unspecified) both were hosted by businesses in their final throws. The first gave the feeble excuse that someone beat my best time 5 mins before the competition deadline which I did not believe for one moment, the second was under new management when I went back to collect my prize and denied all knowledge of it :-).

I don't know if the k1 page is still snowing, maybe Chris is still offline because of 'storms'.

Cheers, bye.
