" 22:07] SWLEBot CRON:Contests: [22:07] SWLEBot CRON: Hopefully silent contest [22:07] SWLEBot CRON: goal: per_all_minavg >= 1860 [22:07] SWLEBot #1 1879 Don Quijote [22:07] SWLEBot 20000 credits sent to Don Quijote [22:07] SWLEBot Next goal: 1870 " I am really not liking this at all. I saw the same thing last night to, and was appalled. 
Every month the dynasties work and work and click and click and do what they can (ok maybe not all, but some) to try and win the credits, and what do they win? A tiny 30,000 or 20,000 credits? YET... this person just has a minavg of 1800 and gets 20,000 credits.....well forget it, why bother with a dynasty contest then, when I can work to just getting 20,000 credits for myself. Yes that will help my dynasty but still, a whole dynasty ONLY gets 30,000 while ONE PERSON gets 20,000. I think that is WRONG! Maybe 2,000 credits, but 20,000 is way tooooo much!!!! I do not agree with this. If you are going to do that or continue this, then you should be raising the amounts for the contests. It is very sad to see how dynasties are treated as a whole, compared to how people are treated as individuals.

DemonicJ - Thu Sep 15, 2011 11:44 pm Originally that contest was set up to jump by 100 when the goal was met. However, that was bought down to 10. A better compromise would be 25 Dustydragon - Fri Sep 16, 2011 6:19 am A better compromise be 25?
I think a better compromise be not 20,000 credits as the prize Did no one read my post? 
I am not complaining about the amount they have to get....I am complaining about the prize amount. DemonicJ - Fri Sep 16, 2011 7:49 am Prize amounts will be looked into anyway & are always under review. However the contest was originally setup to step by 100. It got changed to 10, which is simply to low Dustydragon - Sun Sep 18, 2011 6:11 am Thanks for the answer and yes 10 is WAY too low Jeanne - Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:49 am I agree with Dusty, the prize for the individual monthly contest (not the avg contest) is unfair in proportion to what a full dynasty wins. The dynasty prize is to be shared between 10/21 members while the individual doesn't have to share with anybody. DemonicJ - Thu Sep 22, 2011 2:45 am Quick update. The contest now steps up by 25 instead of 10. Prize credits for all contests need work still Ferrari - Mon Apr 23, 2012 12:36 pm Today I won credits in the silent contest. because i still dont understand this contest and I want to understand this contest, I asked 5 emps of dynastys and 1 admin. Only 1 understands a bit and try in German to explain me, but i still dont understand. all other people I asked say they not understands this contest, and the admin I asked did not answered my mail. I think its time to explain this contest in easy words.... the contest has been around so long, and almost nobody understands the contest.. Is there please 1 person who wants to explain in easy words what this contest means? DemonicJ - Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:33 pm
Mail recieved at 3pm my time, sorry I was working & not home till 930pm my time (about an hour ago)
Reach the target, you win credits. hope that helps |
