Title: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: PuraVida on Monday 13 December 2010, 08:50:24 pm Hi, i did a search on here for the Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook comp but cant find it. What happens is that there is a live link to this robot and you can take your turn in a queue to bash the pinata. It is open from 9am to 9pm weeknights. When the pinata finally breaks there are lots of pizes up for grabs. It will send a msg out on facebook to eveyone who takes part.
What i thought is that is if any of us happen to be on line when it finally breaks we could put a msg out to let everyone else know. Here is th link. * let me know if it opens up MY facebook info - ive got a habit of doing this!* http://www.facebook.com/vodafoneau?v=app_10442206389 Unable tocopy t&c at the moment sorry Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: helga22 on Monday 13 December 2010, 10:34:52 pm Vodafone Power Piñata Promotion

The robot is programmed to respond to the selections you make, then a live camera films what it does. There are a lot of moving parts in this thing, and there's a chance at some stage something may go wrong! If it does, please bear with us. When will it break open? We actually don't know. That's one of the cool things about piñatas, you never know when they'll bust! We can promise that Carlos the robot will keep beating it til it breaks open though – and he's got a few tricks up his sleeve for getting the job done. How do I win prizes? Like a real piñata, it's a case of first in, first served. But first you have to have a hit. And to do that you need to be part of the Vodafone Facebook Community. You will be alerted via email when the piñata has burst open. What's inside the piñata? Lollies! Lots of them. More importantly however there is one large lolly - about the size of a rugby ball. When this hits the ground this means the piñata is officially broken. That's when the 500 prizes are up for grabs in a 'virtual scramble'. First in, first served. How can I get a Samsung Galaxy Tab? We can't blame you for wanting one of these right now. They've got a sweet 7" screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera that will even record video, and a battery life of up to 7 hours video playback. You can get your hands on one with a Vodafone plan at http://shop.vodafone.com.au/tablet-details/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab. Who's the dude I sometimes see on screen? Glad you asked! He's Jose, the robot technician. He's programmed the robot's moves, and is on stand by in case there are any technical issues. Why are Vodafone doing this? It's just one of many things we're doing for (and with!) our friends on Facebook. We hope that if people like it, the community will continue to grow.

Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: Indiorose on Wednesday 15 December 2010, 02:53:34 pm Some guys saying that you dont hit the button until its says hurry 5 seconds left
cause if powers him up more i got a tip from from vodfone last night when i was talking bout a new plan. Haven't tried this. Love to speed it up. Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: PuraVida on Wednesday 15 December 2010, 04:33:21 pm Now they are asking if we should swap the base ball bat for an axe of a sword (for 2moro). Maybe that might speed it up a bit?
As long as you have had a hit you will get a facebook msg when it finally opens. So if we just have the page open on a seperate tab (while doing your comping!) one of us may be lucky enough to be online when it opens. Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: Indiorose on Friday 17 December 2010, 05:45:57 am This one finishes today so keep Facebook open.

Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: snow11 on Friday 17 December 2010, 01:46:28 pm I got a phone! I think.....my pic was of the phone.
Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: helga22 on Friday 17 December 2010, 01:47:07 pm What a scam... I watched this bloody pinata for hours to break. And when the message finally appeared on the screen I pushed the claim button - 1 second later. Then I got the message:
Sorry, no prizes left. Joe Blogs, unfortunately all the prizes have been claimed. Sorry you missed out on a prize but thanks for taking part, we hope you enjoyed it. From the team at Vodafone. They had their camera still running and you could see two guys bashing the pinata with bats to break it open. It was still intact. This was after I got the message that the pinata already broke. They camera was supposed to be 'live'. So they must have send out the emails before the pinata broke.... and before they showed the message on screen. What a waste of time! :thumbdown: Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: alana224 on Friday 17 December 2010, 02:11:43 pm YAY for an iTunes card...! With so many people waiting to have a hit at the time (it was over 700) you had to be pretty quick to get in :) Hope lots of ACC'ers walked away with something.

Title: Re: Vodafone Power Pinata Facebook Comp Post by: Indiorose on Friday 17 December 2010, 06:23:20 pm Pretty crazy in this house as we hadn't logged in since Wed arvo. Daughter said Thurs afternoon (nearly 24 hours since our last visit)I must check on the pinata she logged in just as it was broken open, screaming her lungs out, son rushing to another computer to log in and have a go at a prize, me trying to get the message through to the compingclub, and the phone ringing....chaos but still somehow she was 286th and won an itunes card. Crazy!!!!!
Thanks PuraVida for the post, she's happy. |
