Still nothing? I'm gonna guess they've either canceled the contest or the winners have all been notified.

My guess is that they haven't finalized the details of the event yet. They will want to make that public before telling the winner exactly what s/he won, to avoid leaks.

My guess is the exact opposite, the winner is not allowed to say anything in advance to avoid spoilers.
They don't want the winner to tell everyone about the party and then a bunch of non-invited people show up trying to get in.

The winner doesn't have to say anything. TMR could easily post a tweet saying all winners have been notified and leave it at that. Then the people who entered who haven't heard anything would know not to be hopeful anymore.

Yup. There are probably plenty of people already figuring out how to crash it.

As always, they seem to like keeping us on the edge of our seats.

So they change the date (unlikely, contest rules always say that, but there may be last-minute snafus on their end). We still basically know what it's all about, and that there will be people attempting to get in, no matter how private it is or isn't, so there are hardly any spoilers left.

So I've heard of at least one contest winner being contacted about a record. That's confirmed. And another has claimed to have received a message but it's not confirmed. I think it's safe to say the messages went out last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

I think this one's over, folks.

I would say it's very likely they change the date as most people can't plan a travel trip in two weeks.
And we know what it's all about? Do tell!

How far in advance have they announced their Devil's Night events...? They know damned well that a lot of us plan travel trips at the drop of a hat for them.

That wasn't the week of Christmas, and just because select few travel at the drop of the hat, doesn't mean a random winner on twitter can.

Also since we have concluded that winners were notified...
anyone know if the Thanksgiving contest winners were announced?
