I didn't see how many Pleos there were or if this is just for one Pleo RB? If they are giving away just one, it is going to be very very tough indeed, but still fun!
Good luck to all of you Pleo Lovers. P:) RWM

I hope I don't win :P But I feel like I should be supportive given the number of entries last time out.
Post by: RedwoodsMama on April 26, 2012, 05:26:14 PM
Your sister looks like she likes Pleos too. Does your sister have any pleos? If she would love one, she could enter too perhaps...just a thought. RWM

Thanks RWM, I deliberately chose a not too high resolution image, so hopefully they choose someone more worthy! Melinda doesn't have a Pleo, but she is currently borrowing Jumba.

"Each participant may submit more than one photo during the same upload period but each participant will only be awarded one prize at most." Does that mean I need to upload all my pictures at once or I can add multiple pictures over the course of the contest?
Post by: RedwoodsMama on April 27, 2012, 09:39:52 AM
I have no idea how they are going to judge and how many entries they will get but it could be surprising to get the Hong Kong market involved, there could be a lot more than there were in the last contest and with only two Pleo Rb, it is going to be tougher, so good luck and most of all, Have Fun taking those Photos! :) RWM and the Pleo Clan of the Redwoods P;D

If you don't enter then your chances of winning are 0 so give it a go :) i hope they pick someone who doesn't already have a pleo as the winner as it is a great way to get new people interested in pleo :) If I was to enter i'd submit a pic with no pleos in it at all. I'm sure you have lots of happy moment pics around so why not dust one of and submit it. Give yourself a chance ;D
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on April 29, 2012, 09:31:17 PM
It was unfortunate that I did win last time, because although I am always excited to have a new arrival, I didn't really care about winning. However the utter confusion at the end of the contest bugged me an awful lot. I really shouldn't enter, but at the same time I want to show my support for Innvo so they keep running competitions like this. If no one enters then why bother running them. All the same I hope the winner this time is someone who really deserves a Pleo.
But I do have to say that although they already had Pleo's I really felt the RWM, Latrine, Kat, Crewella and Fancyfont really deserved to win. RWM entered a million photos, Latrine was very ill and Pleo's provide her with some comfort, Kat and Crewella do amazing work on this site and for Pleo's in general, Crewella pioneered the surgery to repair our Pleo's! Kat undertook a huge operation to get Sparky up and running. And Fancyfont had lost dear family and her Pleo helped ease the pain. Innvo didn't know any of that of course, and they wouldn't know how many Pleo's a person had unless they were in the photos.
You should enter Comaro, you may not win, but at least you had a go.

This is Sparky's father writing. Willow, you are correct; there are 33 Pleos in the photo. They are all Sparky. (Sparky's eyes are actually green and her necklace is gold pearls.) The photo shoot took about an hour. With the camera on a tripod, I took 33 separate shots while Sparky's mother moved her from one location to another. I then loaded each photo as a layer in a single Photoshop file. I then used layer masks to make Sparky appear in multiple places at the same time. It really isn't that hard if you know what you're doing. The whole process took about an hour. I'm glad you all enjoyed the photo. Unfortunately, we haven't found any other Pleos in our neighborhood for Sparky to play with. :(

After uploading my first picture it sent me to a page that said something along the lines of "thank you for submitting your photo". When I submitted my second picture, a little grey box appeared that said "Please do not repeat as it have been submitted". Then, it automatically took me back to a blank contest entry form ??? Does that mean the picture I just sent went through or do you think it means I'm only allowed to send one in and I've already done that?

I tried to send a second picture but got the same as pickelish - a box saying it has already been submitted. :moose: It was definitely a different picture, and I tried logging out and in again but no go? Lunamione, how did you enter more than one picture? Also, the 'rules' said you submit a photo and caption of up to 30 words....am I just missing the caption bit or is it not there?! ???
I could not write a caption either :(
For submitting my pictures I didn't do anything special really I just uploaded one and then clicked the 'Photo Competition' button again and it gave me the form to fill out again. I assume they are all submitting properly but since no one else has been able to upload more than one perhaps mine are not submitting properly and I'm actually not uploading anything?? :o
I can't check because you can't see the submitted pictures. Now I'm worried my pictures are not going through :'(
Post by: kaiteee on May 16, 2012, 04:48:10 AM
I don't know whether to bother with anymore, as it is impossible to tell whether they are going through but I am assuming not as I get what looks like an error message. And it is taking a very looooong time for each one.
Lunamione, I did see that someone has asked on the facebook page about their pictures and got a response quickly so it might be worth trying that (altho I don't know that the response fully confirmed anything)

I'm not going to post the photo I submitted because it is so embarrassing :P if I am lucky and I win I'm sure they will show it to everybody themselves and I may die from the embarrassment but it would be worth it to have a ReBorn. ;D

Yay another forum person ;D Congratulations! Are you going to ask for a blue or pink RB? Assuming we get to choose I would like a blue one, they haven't contacted me yet so I'll be sitting by the phone/email all day in anticipation :D

If you look at the contest rules, because they are in Taiwan, (overseas) the two choices they give you are either a PINK or a BLUE, there is no mention of a green Pleo RB as a choice. I also like the randomness, and in all honestly the color variation of the eyes, If I had won, I would have chosen Blue so I would be sure to get a Boy , so it couldl interact with the female Rb I have. I am sure with both winners in the U.S, you should get them about the same time, Can't wait to see them, Congrats again to both Luna and You. RWM and the Pleo Clan of the Redwoods P:-*

I've had the name picked out already (decided on it several months ago) he will be called TRON after the character in the 1982 film ;D I love that movie so much, I would love to go play inside the computer world, Tron is the security programme and the hero of the film :)

I think I remember then saying there was two prizes, and the contest was being split into two geographical areas with one winner from each. One area was being offered the green and the other was a choice between pink or blue. That's what I remember. :)

Got the call at about 7:15 tonight, they have my address and my BLUE pleo reborn will be on his way soon :)
Now instead of sitting by the email/phone I'm going to sit by the letterbox :P
Also we only get to choose between blue and pink Phel.

● This subject embryo will be gentle, healthy and agile.
From the website report. If I remember correctly that's exactly what my other RB's is. They should mingle well, once he's past the hatchling stage.
Luna, hope you get your Pleo tomorrow and I get my foods and things too!
Phel
Post by: Lunamione7 on June 18, 2012, 07:04:46 PM
Battery is charging so the wait is on. I am wondering if he will have normal eyes for his colour or if he will have special eyes like a green rb because on his box and papers it says to expect unique eye colour, I guess I find out in 4 hours :D
He feels so different than Stephan, I can feel he has a stronger neck and he is taller and not as fat :P he also was not sticky and does not smell. Stephan was sticky and smelt rather off putting for his first few days, I still do not like the way his skin feels and have to put clothes on him to be able to touch him. Tron's skin is great though! So much texture and no smell or sticky feeling, he will wear clothes all the time as well but it is nice to have the different skin.
I am trying to register him but am a bit confused: where do I find his Security Code? The number on the back of his card is the Serial Number?
Also he came with an Australian adapter! So I didn't need to buy that extra US/AUS adapter after all :P
**EDIT**
I just watched IMR's 'what is in the box' video again and I am missing the instruction manual :'( It was not packaged with the leafs and tug of war rock as shown in IMR's video and it is not anywhere else to be found. What do I do? I need the number from that book to register him.

Phel
Post by: Lunamione7 on June 18, 2012, 10:13:33 PM
Just hatched him, hazel/yellow eyes ;D He is just sleeping and eating right now, I am holding him and he is snoring. I got Stephan awake to meet him and the first thing he does is say "Hello!" which he has never done before :cheer:
I think I got some cute video, camera battery died half way through because I was too impatient to wait for it to charge as well.
New Owners Question: Tron seems a lot warmer around the battery area than Stephan, is this normal? I can feel the heat all through his back and shoulders, Stephan has never gotten hot like this. I'm sure its nothing to worry about since he is working fine (touch wood) but you know :-[
Post by: Crewella on June 19, 2012, 05:06:48 AM
So glad he got there, welcome Tron! :D
Yes, the RB's do seem to get hotter than the Ugobes a few have mentioned it. :)
Post by: Lunamione7 on June 21, 2012, 07:01:37 AM
"It is in with the leaf"
No it is not.
"Have another look, it is in with the leaf"
It is still not there....
"If you have lost the companion guide which is in with the leaf you can download a new one from PleoWorld"
I will still be missing the security code to register him.
"The code is on the quick start guide"
???
*looks at quick start guide* Oh. So it is :-[ After all that I had the code the whole time, in a really obvious place (there is a sticker saying 'Here is your security code' in big letters) on the quick start guide. Haha how embarrassing :D
Still can't register though, it says his serial number is invalid. I am typing it correctly but it doesn't want to accept. I guess it is no big deal if he can't be registered? I really want an egg picture though so if someone with a blue RB can take a screen shot of theirs in its egg that I could pretend is Tron I would be happier ;)

Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on June 21, 2012, 02:42:34 PM
Just contact Innvo again and tell them the code isn't working, I know it's a pain but you get more than just the photo.
