Poll Results 30/11/2012!

Hi everyone!

2 weeks ago, I put up two blogs both linking about Black Friday . The first poll was asking which your favourite year was, and the results are shown below;

 

2010 came in FIRST place with 6 votes.

Uhmm was second place with 3 votes, while 2011 was third place managing only one vote. Nobody liked this years, however!

Now, we will find out through the next poll, where I was asking the users their thoughts on the Black Friday 2012 itself! Results are as shown;

'It's not fair how they did it!' won our poll with 4 votes.

This poll came very tightly. Almost all the other answers had 2 votes, however 'Who cares?' came last with just 1 vote!

Now we know the answer as to why nobody liked this years Black Friday!

Are you happy with the results? If you have any ideas for a new poll, be sure to let me know by leaving a comment below this post!

ANOTHER WEEKLY POLL COMING SOON!


 

Black Friday 2012 FINISHED... Trade 1 Day LATER!

So, yesterday was Black Friday and the tradition finally finished at **3.30am GMT** this morning, where you can see all the releases on the main post!

Now, we also knew that powers didn't drop. Well, they rose some more! I went on Trade for some of the day and spotted the powers that had gone up.

The following powers that have gone up are shown below;

GKALIENS is now over 5.000 xats because it has not been re-released yet since May 2009 and literally nobody is selling!

 

  
DROP has risen rapidly from 800 - 1000 xats where its now almost 2000 xats. The demand has gotten higher;

 
Despite it being released once again , ANGEL has increased in price and is almost 9000 xats. Here was a user paying 8900;

Meanwhile, PURPLE has risen back to 24000 - 24500 xats and NAMECOLOR is back to the usual 9950 - 9975 xats.

BOOT is 8000 - 8500 xats , and CLEAR is slowly going up.
 
What powers did you buy during Black Friday, or what powers are you going to buy now? Be sure to leave a comment below letting me know your thoughts, along with updates every couple of hours for the next 2-3 days!
 

Xat_Test going CRAZY for 42!

Due to Black Friday 2012 going on all day and yesterday , you would have expected many users to go swamping for 42 and beg him for power releases, right? Well, he's done just that!

4 tabs were created because of this drama, and while he was there SIX was released.
(Check Black Friday post for details!)

Users were getting very excited and taking screenshots. I did, eventually, manage to get into the main tab;

He currently has NOPM and NOPC activated, so you won't be able to ask him any questions.

Update: 42 has now left .

 

BLACK FRIDAY 2012: ALL the Powers , ALL the Prices , ALL The Updates!

**BREAKING NEWS!**
Black Friday 2012 has occurred, so make sure you've gotten your xats and fingers ready for another dramatic day in the power stores!
Hey guys!

Many of you yesterday spotted the banners saying 'Are you ready?' going around xat, right? Well ...


The rumours that have been going on around xat and this blog have been CONFIRMED! Black Friday 2012 is currently happening as we speak!

However , this year has FAILED and I will tell you the following reasons below ;
  

First of all , there was NO INFORMATION IT HAD STARTED from 42 that was posted on @twitter which means nobody suspected a thing.

Secondly , 42 has been releasing every power in small chunks , which means many users are at a disadvantage and will have to keep refreshing the powers page. Many users have been tricked and had an image in their mind that huge chunks would release all at once.

    

Below are ALL the powers that have released, the quantity, the store price and the aftermath price are all posted. (NO IMAGES FOR MOST THESE POWERS, BUT MAY BE EDITED!)

3.30pm - BLACK FRIDAY FINISHED!                  

Sadly nothing went according to plan. All the users on xat_test , Contests and Help are saying how this years Black Friday has 'failed' and is the worst one yet.

It's also gone wrong because shockingly enough, PURPLE and NAMECOLOR have risen very high, when it's supposed to be going down!

PURPLE - 23000 - 23500 xats
NAMECOLOR - 9800 - 9950 xats

Here is my view on this year's Black Friday, with my experience and knowledge;

"BLACK FRIDAY 2012 in total has FAILED! The prices are extremely cheap in stores and profitable, but the BOOT power was a scam, selling in xats and days to make it seem cheap, when in fact it sold out at 12k!

It's mainly failed though for two reasons. The first one is because there are very very small quantities being released, so hardly any users are able to buy the power in store, the ratio of buying one is a 1/1000 chance, depending on the release. When HERO was released, the chance of getting it was literally 1/9000 as there are thousands of users on xat who had enough to buy it.

The second reason it's failed is because all the other powers on Trade are supposed to be down, especially the Epic Powers. Last year GOLD was 45k, but this years it was still profitable at 52k! 

Yesterday the Epic powers dropped alot like before, but today on the actual day when they found out how it would be released, it's risen back up almost to its original price again! Ridiculous!

If I was 42 and I was asked how I would make BLACK FRIDAY 2012 a success , I would release around 200 instead of 10 of each power at the same cheap prices being released currently, and announce it on Twitter, which may I remind you again, they did NOT do this year! Although the countdown for each power is good and it appears automatically, you have to type your password in already.
TIP: When you're waiting to buy a power and you only have 10 seconds, type your password in and then buy a power (DON'T CLICK!) This way it stores your password so then when the power actually does arrive, you don't have to waste your time typing your password and then missing the release.

Also, press CTRL + F correspondingly and type in the power you are waiting to buy. Then, when it comes, you can click 'next' and it will go straight to it, so you don't have to spend your time looking for the power! Here is proof to show you it works!

That concludes my thoughts on the positives and negatives about this years shopping spree. I hope you gain benefits from this, and hopefully you can keep this in frame and mind for future months/years!"   

  
So, that's everything you need to know about Black Friday 2012. What are your thoughts on this year's celebration? I think I probably know the answer, haha! Anyhows, I've already given my thoughts above, why not give yours?
