I'd cry right now, but I'm too stunned to even stand up.

A few people have commented on Facebook, because someone at Fishing Cactus just announced that the egg had opened. Hopefully we'll see a response! Or is it... "Too soon?" Ha! Bad pun, because I'm a little confused.

I think perhaps they didn't count on us opening the egg within a day - so they regard our time as being 'too soon'.

How many clicks did you guys do?

Then why the message saying the first five people to submit the form are guaranteed a direct gift? Would have made more sense if they said something like "Congratulations! That was fast! Check back on Easter to enter the content!"

So it's too soon to enter a contest where the first persons to enter wins...?
That's... a weird way to go... they under estimated the communite's speed but they were expecting the egg to be hatched with in three days so... if that's the case, that just makes it more confusing...

I did over 40,000. It cracked at 1 million. And now I can't type properly and keep having to correct typos, ha.

I stopped at around 15,000. My fingers weren't going to take too much of a beating today. Ha ha!

NornsOfOurAlbia: My typing skills would be seriously compromised! Nice work with all of those clicks, though!

There's some stuff in the T and C about the contest being invalid if anyone used a cheat to do all the clicks, so maybe that's why it's 'too soon!'. I did over 40,000 clicks too. :P

I possibly did permanent damage to my finger... This is just too much. Too much.

It shouldn't matter to the honest people if someone else cheated!! D:

I didn't cheat! I did over 15 000 clicks and I didn't cheat, I dont even know how you'd go about cheating on a clicking game... but even if it's possible, why should everyone be punished if some idiot somewhere on the planet cheated?
Punish the cheaters, not everyone else. D:

I did a little over 15000, I think. No cheating here, just some worn-out fingers and a possibly worn-out mousepad.

It's unfair to the company though, to have to arbitrate who's cheating and who's not. It's just a cause of more arguments. It's a common clause in competitions where there are prizes, to cancel it if anyone cheats.

From Twitter:

Creatures 4 ‏@creatures4game 57m

I've emailed the coder who set up the contest game to find out more about this issue. But it's midnight here. Unsure when reply will come.

About the "Too Soon": let me be very honest, I don't know at this time if it's on-screen text error only or much worse, a recording bug.

I'm not even sure if it matters, seeing how the number of clicks have no impact over who wins or not, right?

They could just make sure the 5 instant winners didn't cheat for fairness sake, if it even matters that much.

All i know is that I didn't cheat, and i want to enter the contest...

well I'm assuming it says "Too soon" because on the website it says contest is running for 2 days and this crack within the first day of release.

I do like when the norn pops out, how coins fly from the egg... and I am so glad that FC are trialling self-hatching eggs, no clicking on eggs to hatch them!!!!! [nlaugh]

I'm still getting the "Too soon!" error message. Hopefully Fishing Cactus should be able to sort it out today!

My html knowledge is rusty, so I was wondering if anyone with better web page coding skills (there's quite a few of you!) wants to have a gander at the page source code for the Easter egg comp? To me it looks like the form doesn't really do much except take you to the, "Too soon!" page. But, like I said, rusty, rusty.

its 10:41 am here in England right now and i'm guessing since they are in Belgium they should be up working on the problem right now since they are an hour ahead of me at about 11:42am so keep checking it but i checked it a minute ago and it still had the too soon message

If they believe that someone in the community cheated I'm okay if they re-do the contest but give us an extra day.

I just had this image of someone setting up one of those drinking bird type things than bend down then up to tap on their computer constantly. I think an older episode of 'The Simpsons' had something like that in it. Bird cheats, heh.

Just wait till you see one that is the speed of a pneumatic jackhammer.

To be honest it might damage the mouse.

Don't worry NornsOfOurAlbia, its just the swear filter. It also censors the words "cockatiel" and "peacock". Maybe it doesn't like birds? [nsmile]
