Can I have a free token since I'm like, a former mod or something. I'm lazy.
Awesome sauce.
Damn. That's pretty awesome...but I don't think I could ever get any of those questions right. Maybe one or two, haha.
I cant wait to have this chair and advertise.
I missed out on how to help in this so i'm quite sad I didn't get to get a token.
Jealous.
How can you say that when you haven't even seen them yet?Quote:

If you aren't very familiar with the game and also can't be bothered to search for answers, then yeah, it could take a while to earn your chair.
Someone posted a video showing five questions. If those are accurate representations, then I could so say with ease.Quote:

I'm both jealous and sad that I was asleep during the time the testing of the quiz and whatnot were going on. :(
Here's hoping I can manage to snag one. It's going to be tough on my end, since I don't know crap about some of the things those questions ask. Gotta do some quick research as I go along. Not to mention... I have a feeling that differences between JMS and GMS are going to screw me.
Time to redownload GMS.
Too bad I only play on MSEA and I've quit it too.
Awesome chair though!
What happens if you miss a day?
Nothing. Same as if you answered no questions right that day.Quote:

After all, the chair itself IS quite adorable.
I have to say, I only had 3/40+ people call it a fat rat. So I would say that the chair is liked by the majority of the community.Quote:

I take it you guys will be stricter than Hidden-Street did with mults?
They had a, "One hat per person" rule and I still saw people farming the bejesus of the codes and selling them.
Yes there are methods in place that enforce 1 code per person.Quote:

Good work with the advertising everyone! :P
(*grumble*, I only tested the quiz twice)
Today someone who was asking for info told me his English wasn't very good and that he had trouble understanding everything in this thread and it got me wondering... @Eos, would you like a spanish translation? :)
Pretty sure he's going to say something on the lines of "Google translate" or "Supply it because I can't translate/won't translate" :f3:Quote:

That's what puzzles me as well.Quote:

A lot of English words are similar in Spanish and they might now a lot of basic English words. I can only speak for Mexico, but almost all games are played in English over here. Also, a lot of the media is in English.Quote:

SO CUTE.
I would imagine if you were familiar with the game in your own language then you could get by. Plus there are blogs where you might get questions answered.Quote:

I'm totally going to end up pineappleing up the quiz and not getting a chair in time even though I've been a member for 4 and half years. :(
With that attitude you will.Quote:

I still remember when I first started playing MS and I was all shy because I couldn't understand others and was afraid I'd be dumb and incomprehensible lol. Anyway, MS and forums (especially SP for me) are great places to learn and improve English as a second language.
Also, I'm done with the translation, just checking and re-re-re-rechecking before posting :3
Okay, if anyone sees anything wrong let me know and I'll edit.
Spanish translation
Spoiler
Maybe not the most noticeable spot, But obviously the most appropriate :f3:
Aww, I'd like to promote one too. :c
Either way, this will be a fun event for everyone. Good luck to you all. :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...Quote:

Ooh! Very excited for this event. Collecting chairs is one of my guilty pleasures. This chair looks awesome :)
Can ppl ply at maplesea get this chair???:glitter:
No. GMS only (for now)Quote:

I really wanna show off in YMCK now. lol
You can use a hyper rock to teleport there?Quote:

Stop showoffing guys. Had hopes I would get one already too, because...oh well. 1 more day and hopefully the questions are not too hard.
Nice to know the codes can be redeemed at least.
Midnight tonight the fun begins.
So how about that free token for a veteran who served his time, nudge nudge.
Midnight what time zone?Quote:

No regrets, of course.

@Eos Pardon me if this has been answered or if it's said somewhere but I just thought of this. Is there a time limit for the questions or can one just take their time?
There's no explicit time limit. If you fail to answer today's questions by the end of day you lose the opportunity to answer them.
Also more advertising on my stream yesterday:

It's @MariaColette sitting on the chair, not me. :P
Have 11 triple smega's from marvel machine.
Prepare yourself khaini.
This morning before Maple crashed on me.
:f5:

Really looking forward to earning this chair! Thanks for allowing accounts before 2013 to take part, I am from Europe but play gms.
So... Once per household?
Well I live with my sister who also plays MapleStory...
How does it work for us then?
First come, first serve or are we both not eligible for this event?
Or do one of us have to use a public connection to participate?
It is really unfair for us to know that one or none of us will get the chair. T_T
Whoever starts first.
Would you rather not get one because your sister got one, or neither of you get one because someone else farmed hundreds of them to hold hostage?
Rules exist to try to ensure fairness, and 1 per household is far more fair than the alternative since less people stand to be impacted.
By "whoever starts first", does that mean who provides the email first or do you have to answer the first question?Quote:

On that note, me and my girlfriend often go to each other's houses and connect to southperry. Does that forfeit us both from getting a chair? It's still two 'seperate households', but we've both connected from each other's IP. Am I just overthinking this?Quote:

what of those whoa re in the dorms at college? While I assume there probably won't be too many people playing maple at that age (lolme) does that one per household apply to them as well?
Most dorms have sufficient degrees of uniquely identifying attributes for it to not be an issue.
If yours doesn't, (potentially) sucks to be you. Nitpicking and looking for every possible reason you might not be able to play it isn't going to make it more lenient. It is what it is.
If we do this again I'll just piss everyone off by requiring you to give information that identifies your Nexon account and wait a business day or two for a token to be generated that's bound to the account you provided.
Sorry if it was answered since I indirectly asked before, but will there be a time limit to redeem the chair?
I won't be able to get on to redeem it for a while, and don't want to miss out on this. ;-;
It's in the OP: March 31st.Quote:

It has been stated that the method used to determine unique users is an IP check after answers have been submitted. If you are not familiar with changing your IP address, I will offer some suggestions that are likely a source of alternative addresses for you in your home: wireless router, LAN ethernet, 3G phone/tablet wireless connection. If you want to check to see if your IP address is actually different, you can do a google search that will feed you back your IP.Quote:

Will we, at some point, be able to see the answers to the questions we got? I'm curious to see what I got wrong, since I'm positive I answered the questions correctly.
Additionally, I know you're trying to make sure people don't farm the chair, but the way the rules were made are pretty unfair. Just throwin' that out there.
if you google the right terms, you'll get your answerQuote:

Don't worry. Eos is standing behind you and making sure you don't cheat.Quote:

We treat everyone as professors. There is no time limit on the questions, for a reason. Search them on Southperry, google, ask your friends, whatever. The only thing we don't allow, as was pointed out above, is making a "cheat sheet" that puts all the questions and their answers in one thread.
" We're sorry, you do not meet the requirements to participate in this event, as determined by Nexon America."
Well, guess I can't do it on my phone after all.. I should've clicked the quiz link before to make sure.
I can't claim intimate familiarity with all parts of the site. I did a quick site search and even skimmed the Personality thread but didn't immediately find it. While it's probably in there somewhere, I didn't figure there was any point in looking since I cannot immediately redeem my code anyway.Quote:

You currently have 4 correct answers out of 5 questions.
lolwut. But... I checked every single one to make sure they were right. ~_~
Yeah, 3/5.
Was pretty sure I had all of them right since I looked them all up ._.
sigh 4/5
the Chaos Vallentier had 2 types so didn't know which one was right :/
