400,000 Megabyte MIMOBOT Twitter Contest

twitterContest_splash.jpg
    How to play:

  • Step 1: Follow mimobot on Twitter.
  • Step 2: Reply @mimobot using the Word of the Day (WOTD) in a sentence during the 24 hour window. (NOTE: The WOTD can be used as part of another word. ie, thanksgiving, thankful, thanks are all valid entries if the WOTD = thank. Moreover, plural forms of the WOTD are also valid entries. ie, memories is a valid entry if WOTD = memory.)
  • Step 3: Every day at 12:01AM a winner will be randomly chosen to receive a MIMOBOT designer USB flash drive.

  • The more you play, the more you can win!

  • Every day is a new chance to win. Each day at 12:01AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) through December 26, 2008, @mimobot will tweet the WOTD (which can also be obtained from the scoreboard calendar below).
  • If you're one of the 50 winners, the more you play the more you can boost the memory capacity of your MIMOBOT prize!
  • If you're one of the 50 winners, you may trade your MIMOBOT with other winners if they agree to trade with you!

So good luck, get tweeting, and have fun!

Mimoco, Inc. is the sponsor of the 400,000 MEGABYTE MIMOBOT® Twitter Contest (the "Promotion").

Promotion Period:
The 400,000 MEGABYTE MIMOBOT® Twitter Contest begins at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on November 7, 2008, and runs through December 26, 2008 at 11:59 PM EST (the “Promotion Period”). Each daily promotion (“Daily Promotion”) begins at 12:01 AM EST each day during the Promotion Period and ends at 11:59 PM EST each day during the Promotion Period.

Mimoco will choose which MIMOBOT design to award at their discretion, and no winner will be able to choose which character he or she will receive, although winners may choose to trade amongst themselves. Each winner will be responsible for any federal, state or local taxes associated with the receipt or use of any prize, if any.

To enter the 400,000 MEGABYTE MIMOBOT Promotion:

  • Follow mimobot on Twitter.

Promotion Rules:

  • Only one entry per contestant, per day is eligible to qualify for the Daily Promotion, i.e., more than one entry per day will not increase your odds of winning on any one day.
  • Only one win per person will be permitted for the duration of the Promotion, though winners can continue to play to boost the amount of Memory for their devices.

To claim the prize, the Daily Winner will have to provide Mimoco his or her real name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number by Direct Message to mimobot via Twitter. Additionally, if the Daily Winner opts to participate in the Memory Boost opportunity, the Daily Winner must inform Mimoco as to the number of Boost Points being redeemed.
  • If any Daily Winner fails to respond to @mimobot with shipping information by December 31, 2008, the Daily Winner forfeits his or her prize.

The 400,000 MEGABYTE MIMOBOT Twitter Contest Memory Boost, Trading Zone and Score Board

We will post all winners Twitter names with their MIMOBOT prizes on a Score Board to keep track of who won what character and if it has been redeemed or is still earning Memory Boost Points.

Memory Boost:

Daily Winners may boost the Memory capacity of their MIMOBOT prize by continuing to participate in the Promotion. Though Participants may only win once, Mimoco will keep track of how many Words of the Day you tweet @mimobot. Every day you successfully tweet a phrase using the Word of the Day, Mimoco will award you a Memory Boost Point. Tweet enough of them, and your winning MIMOBOT drive will be increased in capacity, depending on how many Memory Boost Points you compile.

  • 10 or more Words of the Day properly tweeted = your MIMOBOT prize is boosted to 2GB
  • 25 or more = 4GB
  • 42 or more = 8GB
  • All tweets made @mimobot using the Word of the Day in a sentence will be accepted as MIMOBOT Memory Boost points.
  • Only one Memory Boost Point may be earned per day by using the Word of the Day.
  • To redeem Memory Boost points, you must be chosen as one of the 50 daily MIMOBOT winners.
  • You may choose to redeem your MIMOBOT prize at any time. However, if you wish to boost your memory capacity, you may only redeem your MIMOBOT after you’ve earned enough Memory Boost Points to qualify for your boosted MIMOBOT memory.
  • Once a Daily Winner notifies @mimobot via Direct Message that he or she wishes to redeem the MIMOBOT prize, no more Memory Boost Points may be earned.

Trading Zone:

If you’re one of the lucky 50 daily MIMOBOT winners, you may choose to trade your MIMOBOT with any other winner should they be willing to trade with you.

  • You may choose to trade your MIMOBOT with any other winner by simply connecting with them via Twitter or any other means. If you both wish to trade, both winners simply Direct Message (DM) @mimobot on Twitter with the following message: “@YourTwitterName wishes to trade YourMIMOBOTprizeCharacter with @YourTwitterTradingFriendsName for TheirMIMOBOTprizeCharacter.”
  • If you make a trade, your Memory Boost Points can be redeemed for your final MIMOBOT prize.
