Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 6:19 am   Silent Contest?

Can someone please explain this to me?

" 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. :shock:

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. :sad:

Dusty is talking about this contest --> click here

If i'm not wrong, Jeanne won the 1800, and Don Quijote won 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860, rewarded with 20000 credits each time they get the goal.

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

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.

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

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.

Quick update. The contest now steps up by 25 instead of 10.

Prize credits for all contests need work still

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?
