You're back? Good.
Ok, so if I'm reading this right, if you check-in on Sunday you're definitely going to get a Finale sticker (pictured below on the right). If you've been keeping your buzz going with the weekly stickers you're going to get the "Fried to the Hat" sticker in addition to the "The Boss" sticker (below on the left).
The part about "and select fans who have only missed a few of the episode stickers will be awarded their missing ones!" had me scratching my head. How many are they going to let you recover if you were out more than one? The line later in the blog makes it sound like they're going to flat out award everyone who's missing some of them the full set so long as they have at least one of the stickers from the series; they just won't get The Boss if they haven't been keeping up. I guess this is a bonus for those who got shafted due to being a few minutes late on a check-in or got hosed by a bug in the system. For anyone who flat-out forgot a check-in, you just got a reprieve on your sticker count. If you didn't at least get Lit back during the premiere, well, sorry; it appears you're still out of luck.
(I just hope there aren't any bugs in the system for the awarding of The Boss *fingers crossed*)
Don't forget to check-in to Boardwalk Empire on Sunday (as well as the other shows on the reminder calendar!)
So really, one check in has the possibility of awarding 3 stickers. I hoping, like you are, we don't get any bugs. I want my 3 stickers.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Just to clarify: only users who earned each episode sticker the first time around (when every episode aired live) can qualify for Boss. Gluers who missed a few will be awarded the rest, but Boss is only for that select number of people who got them originally.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps, and enjoy the finale of Boardwalk Empire!
I checked into Boardwalk Empire about 2 hours ago and was just awarded all 11 of the stickers from Lit to Plastered. I've been checking into Boardwalk Empire every week since I got GG but have been unable to earn any of the stickers since I missed the premiere. Either it's a bug or it was intentional for me to get all stickers.
ReplyDelete@Heather, what did you check in with?
ReplyDeleteI looks like alot of people were just awarded the full set. Of course I got nothing. That sucks.
ReplyDeletesame here....
ReplyDeleteSome people didn't even check in recently to get the stickers. I wonder if they just missed a week and the system is awarding them now. Let's hope I get lucky!
ReplyDeleteI checked in using the Android app. Not sure if that made a difference or not. It took about 2 hours for them to show up on my stickers list. I just noticed one person who earned the set hasn't checked into Boardwalk Empire in 5 days. I'm not sure how their system works. I would wait a few hours to see if you earn them.
ReplyDeleteHaven't checked in since Sunday and I was awarded the 5 stickers I was missing. Good since I checked in every Sunday but it stopped counting on Halloween. Hope it was a bug and I get The Boss sticker.
ReplyDeleteyeah i didnt even have to check in ( i did after just to make sure) and i had all the ones that even though i checked in didnt get cause i missed the first one.
ReplyDeleteI've been checking in like clockwork every Sunday since I got GG, which was the week between the third & fourth episodes. I've been checking in despite the fact that I wasn't getting stickers after having missed the premiere episode. My wife & I both have been doing the same thing, & we both were awarded the stickers out of the blue just a little bit ago. We didn't check in or anything. The stickers just showed up.
ReplyDeleteI talked to Karen, the VP of Engineering for AdaptiveBlue, & one of the things with this set of stickers was that HBO wanted to really reward those who demonstrated consistent fan behavior. That's why part of the deal was that you had to check in each week from the premiere on in order to earn the weekly stickers. She also said, when I brought up the notion that it wasn't really fair to those of us who ARE fans but weren't GG members until after the premiere episode, that they're a new site & are still working things out. I guess this is their response to that criticism & their reward to those who, despite not earning every sticker, have been checking in consistently.
If Kimber above is correct, then for those who have actually earned every sticker since the beginning, the reward is The Boss sticker. The rest of us who demonstrated fan behavior will get the stickers we've been missing, will get the Fried to the Hat sticker this Sunday, & will get the finale sticker--we won't get The Boss, though, because we missed at least one week of check-ins. That's what I understand, at least. I hope that helps some of those who've missed weeks. Also, If you simply gave up on checking in each week, you may not get the stickers. Time will tell, but it does look like those of us who qualified have already received the stickers.
I have to say, it's kind of awesome to see them all lined up together instead of spread across my catalog with dozens of stickers in between each one. :-)
Hey Kimber:
ReplyDeleteSo I am wondering what's up with the people getting all 11 stickers... needless to say it's pissing off a lot of users.
I missed the first one which made me not get any of the series, even though I continue to check-in. I checked my email today and saw I got Lit through Plastered. We'll see if they hold true about the Boss sticker. Maybe those that fill the gaps tomorrow won't get it. We'll see
ReplyDeleteHi Mindy,
ReplyDeletexiape above explains it quite well with what he heard from Karen, our VP of engineering. We want to reward those who might have missed a check-in or two but continued to watch Boardwalk Empire and check-in when the show aired.
For those who have been on the ball the whole time (nice job!), you'll get the extra special Boss sticker as a reward, along with that sweet discount. :)
so wait... does that mean I won't get any because i missed the first and second check-ins?
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked into BE since Sunday and looked today and was awarded the stickers!! I love this show and only didn't get them because I found out about GG a few weeks after it premiered! I know its bothering some users but I actually love and watch every episode of this show! I've complained A LOT about not being able to get any of these stickers so I'm ecstatic! Maybe I got all 11 because I've checked in over 100 times to BE, I was deemed worthy perhaps? LOL Good luck to all in getting their BE stickers! :)
ReplyDeleteThe stickers are now live (at least for eastern and central timezones).
ReplyDeleteThe Boss sticker is MIA.
ReplyDeletex2 on the 'The Boss' sticker...
ReplyDeleteI have checked in from the beginning of the season, every episode, every week and just got shafted on the boss sticker. This seems to be a common occurrence with GetGlue and HBO stickers.
