When I first saw the Christmas Contest page, it had displayed -2 of 1 remaining for the prize, the Wyrds' Water relic. I was still able to get one however. Is there some sort of glitch in the program running it?

Yeah, it displayed -3 out of 1 when I visited. I entered my name to see what would happen and got it as well. Something ain't right, MM.

What the Hel? How is it doing that?
I understand the negative display perfectly; a special message only comes up for zero remaining, but at zero, it never should have dropped lower -- and I tested this thing, too. Well, however took it when it said "None Remaining" is gonna be in trouble -- big trouble.
UPDATE: Okay, get this. Turns out, the script worked. All I did was add a less than or equal to instead of just an equal to when the script checked the supply of the item. So far as I can tell, multiple people may have tried to access it at one time for disasterous results -- I am blaming you, BeastMaster101

"On the second day of Christmas, the Kero gave to me...
Two Master Balls, (2 of 2 Remaining)
And a Water from the Wyrds' Well. (1 of 1 Remaining)"
And I go to snag one of them (went the wyrd water, then due to stocks being out went for the balls) then I get this message
"Sorry, but that item is out of stock for today. If you would like, you can try getting it tomorrow when there will be one more available."
Even though there is the item in stock

Why the Hel does this thing work in entirity when I scripted it, but now it breaks down at the simplest thing! Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Well, it should work now. If it dern't, um.... try kicking your computer. Yeah, that should help.

Well, that may actually be my fault. See, I tried yesterday to get the Wyrdswater (several times), but it said that I didn't have an account, so I got one today. and, lo and behold, when I get to my account, I've got 3! (note that I already had one). Now I've probably just earned myself a banning... oh well...

It gave me the same message about not having an account for BD, and I still only have 1 WyrdsWater, lol.

Well, I do believe I hacked a Wyrd Water into Zedd's account for the missing of it the one day. You should not have been able to get another one, tho'.
The "account does not exist" thing occurred when people used capitalization in their names; that was rid of yesterday and everything should function normally now, no matter what case you put your name in.

Well... I got the new Gilded Lance thing, but when I went to look at it in the RPG, it said: "the gilded is not in your inventory". I think there just might be something wrong there, but it might just be me...

Yeah, I kinda expected there to be something wrong with it.
Huh, that's wierd. I put a space in the name for the Gilded Lance, but not one for the WinterScroll. The space is the problem, and I can have that fixed easily.
See, I was going to stay up to midnight, get one for myself, and find out what problems sprung-up last minute for myself. However, I just discovered that I had a final this morning that I did not previously know about, so my priorities sorta went elsewhere. Quite frankly, I expected worse.
EDIT: Hooray! Now that one problem is out of the way, I discover there is some wierd thing that reduplicates your inventory for some odd reason! That may sound like a good thing, but it forces equipped items to never become un-equipped -- even tho' you actually have it unequipped.

I have a question. Are the items added based on one specific time zone (I'm guessing EST from the date at the top of this page)? If not, some people could have a huge advantage over others. I'm assuming there is but I thought I'd ask.

You got it! At 12:00 AM, the midnights of Eastern Standard Time, the presents become available via automated script.
The biggest advantage, I guess, is given to people on the west coast. That is really early in the eve for all of them Pacificers.

Well, for where I am it's 4:00 in the afternoon, and since I know that, I seem to be the first one to get these things... 'neways, how do I get that gligar? There's no option for it, and it's not in my Pokémon list. What's up

When I tried to get one, I got a message saying I needed to have a RBY account to get one. I do have one though. Is it supposed to be that you need a GSC version?

Grrr! Midnight EST is only 11:00 for me. By the time I can get to a computer (usually about 9 hours later) everythings gone! The only one that I really missed is the Master Ball though. So far.
BTW, what level is that Gligar at? It might be #2 on my list of missed items.

Riiiiiight. That has to do with a lot here, Drac.
Anyway, he got in through some scripting mishaps in some of the tourneys that got moved around.
As for Gligar, it is breeding level (Lvl 5) and yes, you need a GSC account to get it. I guess I have the things mixed up a bit. Oh well. It should be obvious that you cannot get it with a LATS account alone.
And to get the Gligar, you need to do what it tells you and go to the PokéCenter. There are prize rooms there which you may go and get your Pokémon from.
Yeah, there is no easier way to do it. The prize is in fact a flag that gets set onto your account, allowing you to pick up the prize Pokemon.
