(deleted comment)

really? ouch! I always mess up when i post something to this forum... >_<;;
well here's the link to the website...

http://www.netgamix.com/tournaments/aux/main?name=Hetalia

and hope this time it works..! sorry about that and thx for lettin me know! :)

(deleted comment)

oh IE isnt supported by the website...? what the heck... sorry i totally didn't notice coz i was using google chrome... it sucks they dont support IE.. :(

hey! I've already registered using Internet Explorer!! are you sure it doesn't work?

Hmm I don't really understand. Is it a trivia contest or something?

I just wonder since it actually costs money to enter haha

I'm assuming that it's a trivia quiz contest about hetalia. i checked the other pages of the website to see what the site is bout, and seems like they're trivia quiz site. so yea :)

Yeah that is what it looks like I was just unsure on entering because the site looks a bit shady to me hahaa.

Oh well, I paid for it anyways. I hope it is a one time thing that you can do throughout those days because I will be without a computer Friday - Sunday!

Hmmm As the first commenter, It doesn't support my browser!
But anyway, I already own Arte Stella. XD
Btw, your icon is love <3

*as the first commenter said ¬_¬
I can't write! DX

awwww! im soooo jealous that you have arte stella!!! i wanted it so bad but i just couldnt afford it... (im broke, haha..^_^;;) but i guess ill give it a shot sine its a dollar.. and i love your icon too! denmark looks so cool! <3 nordic countries!

I'd love too, but i dont feel like making a paypal account, or even paying a dollar (lol cheap me) to answer a tournament i may not even have time for.

Like, do you have to be on at certain points or do you get questions shot at you one after another until you're finished?

Though I DO want Arte Stella, kinda, I wana see the pretty pictures ^^

haha i hear you! a dollar is still money! i really wish it was free but oh well.. ^_^;; im gonna sacrifice one cup of my morning coffee for this. haha ;p

well they say that the tournament is gonna start on 8th and end on 11th so i guess that we have to play the quiz during that period. and i think we have to answer the questions till we finish. dont rly know how many questions theyll give us tho..

yea i rly want arte stella too or the new hetalia book.. ive been reading reviews and scans of them and i just want em soooo baaaad!lol

Well its not the dollar i really care about, its the having to make a paypal account. and asking my parents cuz that would be weird if they randomly got an art book from an anime in the mail...and they arent particularly fond of anime.

Well, I'm pretty sure some other company will pick back up Hetalia in the U.S. so I'll get Vol 4 eventually. Just looking online is enough for me for now xD But Arte Stella uuuuurrrrggg who knows if they will be sold here!

I WISH YOU LUCK!!

your parents dont like anime...? that sucks.. :( yea i hope the new hetalia vol. will be released in the states soon! i really cant wait for it!! ^_^ and thx! hope my morning coffee turns into arte stella or the new book! im keepin my fingers crossed! :D

Hmm. Yeah, it costs .99 to enter. I'm sure the person holding the contests hopes to get enough people to enter so that they make enough for the cost of those items. XD

haha it does seem like it now you mentioned! i just didnt think about it... ^_^;; it wouldve been so much nicer if it was free...! boo.. :s

Hahaha third place is five dollars...

I dunno, it seems reaaaally good but at the same time kinda fishy. :/
Though I figure many, many of us could get a perfect score xD

haha yep I know, it is a weird third prize!

I've already paid, and till now everything seems pretty legit..but I dunno. Besides they have more games about Hetalia! I am playing this one to practice before the tournament!

http://www.netgamix.com/game/How+Well+Do+U+Know+England

the Arte Stella will be mine!!! hahahaha

Hm well since it's only a dollar, it's not really that bad I guess. Unless someone decides to spend more xD

oh man readin through those comments, im startin to get a bit worried now... eeee... ^_^;; but youre right that we'd totally get a perfect score! <3 hetalia!! :)

i played the sweden one! i <3 su-san so darn much! :D

The site looks kinda fishy. o3o

I second this...How do we know that they won't keep access to our paypal or something...?

im not too worried about them stealin my money from my paypal account (i was worried bout the dollar i paid tho! xD) coz i rly dont think paypal would let em to do so... besides other online store that i used to have a membership, they kept renewin w/o remindin me and got money from my creadit card! that DID suck and i hated it!!!! :( so i'd be more worried if i paid it w my credit.. (altho they do have the credit payment option, but i figured paypal would be a safer choice to use for this..)

yea now i think bout it, it kinda does.. :s but oh well i already paid so i just hope for the best!! :D arte stella!

Not wanting to be a party pooper.......I would think carefully before entering. I agree with the people who say that something just doesn't feel right about this. It seems too good to be true.....which generally means something is. Yes, they may not take extra money out of your account (i.e. steal it, but how do we know there IS a prize in the first place? They don't have to identify the 'winner' on their site, and they can just send everyone an email informing them that they 'lost'. In short, this could ultimately be a scam where there is no prize and no winners, which they just cover up by sending people emails to tell them that they didn't win, to make it look official and give them the assumption that they didn't get the prizes because 'someone else' won them.

And true - they wouldn't gain as much money as if they were stealing money from peoples accounts, but considering Hetalia's popularity, and the fact that they are offering limited edition hard-to-find items, they would know they could probably get atleast $200 from entry fees alone. Which, considering the fact that if this IS a scam it is mostly likely the work of amateurs, would probably be well worth the endeveur as far as they are concerned.

What people do is their choice, but please do think very carefully about it, as you could be being had.

Hi there,

If you want any other additional info, please let us know.

Thanks

Hi hoshiko_2000,

We would appreciate also if you can tell us which things made you thought that the tournament was not real.

Thanks a lot

- The fact that Arte Stella is largely sold out, so it seemed odd that you have randomly got a copy of the artbook (and are only doing this 5 months after it's publication)

- The fact that the website, sorry to say it, didn't look overly professional

- The fact that I've seen things just like this before, that WERE scams

- And the fact that if this WAS a scam, it would have been something so easy to pull off

If this is a genuine competition, I really do apologise. But the thing you have got to understand is that I have seen things almost identical to this before, that really were scams. And I've seen people being tricked in to them too. I have an understanding of how these things works, and it would have been so, so easy to pull this off as a scam. So I could not let my concerns about this tornument go unsaid. My main concern, at the end of the day, is the other people in this community. The nice people here deserve a warning that something they are entering in to possibly may not be all that it seems. And I was not the only person who said that this competition seemed suspicous. If this is a genuine competition I am sorry for rousing suspiscion, but I did have reason for it.

Hello hoshiko_2000,

Thanks a lot for the feedback. We understand your concerns, they seem pretty reasonable, this was the first tournament and we are learning a lot. These are the answers:

- One of our members is form Tokyo and she got Arte Stella one week ago. It is a new, unopened copy.

- We are working hard to improve the website. Thanks again

We just want to cover costs with the tournament and get the people to know Netgamix. In exchange for your feedback, we would like to invite you for free to participate in the tournament.

Please send us an email to support@netgamix.com

Thanks, but no thanks. But thanks for being understanding.

I don't get it. I can't find the option to start the trivia anywhere.
The link timitimi82 commented above works fine though..
