more than 50 keys investment made... nothing.
this is getting weird indeed...pink hair girl is starting to grow on me. Every time she gives me butterflies, they are quickly squashed by the man-girl with the apple on her head.
Easiest way to earn keys I've found is by using a dedicated twitter account (no followers) and to simply spam-tweet, sharing their RDiscoveries. YOu don't even have to add pics or write text. It is all automatic. Just keep on clicking Share RDiscoveries, then View All Discoveries. Can easy do 10 in 10 min. THe long part is using them....
Will keep trying so long as my unemployment checks keep coming.

I think Renaissance spent a lot of money on this promotion. I also think it's very good but tragically targeted to the wrong crowd. I can see this being a good promotion for Cosmo in Vegas or something, but not the traditionally business oriented Marriott traveler. Yeah, we prefer drink coupons. It's no wonder no one has won a prize since there are so few to give out. Here they are:

I won the "Next Great American Novel Writing Kit" prize. It's a low tier prize but not bad, I'm sure I'll get some use out of it. I'm not sure how many keys it took me but I played casually over the course of three sessions. So, maybe 15 or thereabouts?
Weird promo for sure, but I don't think it nearly as horrible as many are saying. It has people talking, which is likely what they were going for.

Mr Green, real name Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, "slipped" the drug to the 33-year-old woman during the meal last July, prosecutors said.
The two then went back to the woman's hotel room, authorities said.

And many of us scarred for life, having seen things we should have never seen but will be unable forget. As bad as seeing a man who is now answering serious charges for improprieties with a woman sitting in a bathrobe behind one door, it wasn't even the worst. The porn film being filmed was just flat out wrong, and the hip-hop party full of wannabes was painful.

I entered the contest a couple of times. Always thought the scenes were sort of weird and retro, and the party scenes were just off -- not really images I tend to associate with hotels I like staying at (simple, modern 
). But whatever, tried it a couple of times and moved on.
That said, I got an email today (Yes, 12/31/13, long after the contest has ended) letting me know that I'm a second chance winner! Pretty exciting stuff. Either whomever that won didn't claim it (or thought it spam -- I almost thought so too), but I've won a beach towel.
Sure, it's not a big win or anything (I never win anything big, but a beach towel is pretty exciting too. I'll take it.
