How to Use

Mystifyingly, despite this system of input's obvious usage and outstanding user-friendliness, some users have still come forward with complaints or doubts about how to work our patented Plinkophoneā„¢ input techonology.

This guide should cater to any questions you may have (even though this system is s so intuitive and easy to use and, really, it's so confusing how anyone could really ever have any doubts surrounding it. Of course.)

To input your phone number and join the PlinkocorpĀ® Funtime Holiday Raffle:

  • Users MUST press the "Release ball!" button to release the Weighted Pearl Polish Plinkophoneā„¢ Spherical DeciderĀ®, colloquially and hereinafter referred to as the "Ball;"
  • The Ball MAY bounce on the Plinkophoneā„¢ Solid Decision DivertersĀ®, hereinafter referred to as the "Pegs," which WILL alter its course in unpredictable and WE HOPE exciting ways;
  • At the end of its journey downwards, the Ball WILL inevitably land on a Plinkophoneā„¢ Concave Decision SolidifierĀ®, hereinafter referred to as a "Hole," which WILL L perform a specific action upon the Plinkophoneā„¢ Auxiliary Digi-visual Input ContainerĀ®, hereinafter referred to as the "Input Box," located at the top of your screen;
  • The type of action performed upon the Reaching of the Hole is dictated by y the type of the Hole, of which there are 5 (five,) being:
    1. Number HoleĀ®: identifiable by its dark green color and number caption. The Number HoleĀ® WILL append a number to the Input Box. This is the most common type of Holeā„¢;
    2. Blank HoleĀ®: identifiable by its drab grey color and the apparent lack of a caption (though the Development Team does reinforce that the Blank HoleĀ® does, in fact, bear a caption, however, it is simply " ,"ā€”that is, the space characterā€”and as such appears empty to the unsuspecting observer, a distinction very important to one of the many, endlessly opinionated flip-flop-cargo-shorts entities involved in the making of the Plinkophoneā„¢ Input SystemĀ®.) The Blank HoleĀ® does nothing;
    3. Erase HoleĀ®: identifiable by its red color and youthful "X" effigy, reproduced here: "āŒ." The Erase HoleĀ® removes the last character from the Input BoxĀ®, if present, emulating the operation of the Backspace key on your keyboard (NOTE: pressing the Backspace key on your keyboard WILL NOT erase a number. This is a crucial part of the Plinkophoneā„¢ Input Engagement MechanismĀ®;)
    4. Bomb HoleĀ®: identifiable by its ominous vantablack color and contrastingly cartoon-y "bomb" effigy, reproduced here: "šŸ’£." In a bold move by the ever-innovative minds of PlinkocorpĀ®, the Bomb HoleĀ® represents the first Adversarial Type Input Mechanism (patent pending.) The Bomb HoleĀ® WILL unconditionally delete all of the characters from the Input BoxĀ®, which research has shown greatly improves visitor retention and emotional attachment to the stakes of this virtual game. Whether the emotion is positive or that of boiling rage or heartbreak is not important to this explanation;
    5. Submit HoleĀ®: identifiable by its joyful lime green and life-affirming effigy, reproduced here: "āœ…." The Submit HoleĀ® WILL LL submit the input in the Input BoxĀ® to one of our many, many, very registered, very legal, offshore server farms, where your data will be treated and distributed to between five or five hundred thousand Quality Assurance Partnersā„¢. Note that the input MUST BE at least 8 characters long, otherwise this action WILL NOT have any effect.
  • Should the arrangement of Holes not appear favourable to you, the Plinkophoneā„¢ Decision Do-It-Over-Baby ButtonĀ®, hereinafter referred to as the "Re-roll," identifiable by its fittingly cyclical effigy, reproduced here: "šŸ”„" and unrelated to the buttons of other websites which, we feel the need to comment, perform actions only tenuously related to the ideal of New Beginnings & Exciting Prospects that we feel this symbol conveys, much better represented in our Re-rollĀ® through its procedureā€”that is, that of of that of drawing new Holes;
  • Should there be any doubts left, PlinkocorpĀ® reminds you of our motto, "Wait, a Motto? Nobody Said Anything About a Motto? Right Now? Put Something Like Never Give Up or Go Get Them You Know Stuff Like that? Are You Recording This?"
