Arg, my single use inferno just disappeared as i was clicking to take it off and save it for the seventh day! It's like vmk is taunting me, because I missed the chance to win inferno during beta by 1 DAY! Now I have been robbed yet again of using inferno magic... I really hope vmk reads my complaint and gives me another single use...
I hate to break it to you, but many of us didn't win Inferno during beta, even
those of us who do have a Day 1 badge.
I won my inferno in February of last year. HOST_Phinny had a game called
Fin's Make a Deal. It was a race game, but you had to THINK about where
you were racing to win.
She would place two chairs down, with three players running when she said
go. The catch was that the players had to race to the chair worth more
credits! So if she had a Karo tiki chair and a Maleficent throne, anyone who
sat in the tiki chair would have lost by default. The person in the correct
chair won the race...but did NOT necessarily win Inferno.
There was another catch. You had the option of keeping the chair you
won the race in, or "make a deal" to get a mystery prize. I've won the
race a couple of times with "mystery" prizes of either a lantern or a red
Disney travel crate. (And these were on separate days she ran the game.
Like any game, once you win for the day, you can't return to the game and
win again.)
Fin would have Inferno as a prize given randomly, and when I won this game
the third time, I did win Inferno. I remember the people I beat, too...
VanJoshing and Disvaclub. (And Disvaclub is one of my friends! Gah!)
But the funniest thing was that later that night, Disvaclub won Inferno
after trying the game again! (If you lose any game, just like now, you can
return repeatedly until you win any prize.)
I've never had to work so hard for any game item since.
