I'm not sure why Area folks would be motivated to contribute when we have no idea where we stand and if the balloons are being counted. I donate tens of thousands of balloons and make water by the truckload but I can understand how folks would be less inclined to participate.
No need to stop converting and donating balloons. Let's keep on doing what we can for our servers.
Thank you to all who are trying hard for our US servers.
2500 water balloons a day since phase 2.
What do you mean your separated from Ares?Quote:

Ill donate goods to players that are making balloons
We're almost at 100% so lets do a final push to hit that mark then we can not worry about the balloons ever again. Who wants to be the only server that doesn't do 100%
It's like looking forward to attending a high school basketball tournament, only to be informed that The Miami Heat have been invited to compete too. There was nothing fair and balanced about this competition, same as the EOTW competition. A fair race is simply not in the interest of this company. Can you imagine if the Germans lost this competition? No, my friends, bias from the mother company is always going to make sure their country's servers win, plain and simple.
Personally, I would like to be able to vote to not partake in further "fun" competitions doled out by this German company. I like this game except when they have competitions like this, which must certainly serve as a slap in the face to all who believed the words "fair competition."
P.S. I am participating and have donated 500,000 balloons so far. But my interest in doing so anymore is waning. I'm still trying to figure out how a forced resource drain in the face of zero percent chance of winning is a celebration. My idea of a celebration is very very different.
maybe if we worked together a little more we can make 200%. Dont give up keep going and if we dont make it at least we can say we tried.

and to think only one more week of this YEAH!!!!!
Have you heard of trade?Quote:

Honestly, I'm thinking once we hit 150% there's no point in donating really. we get nothing for it.
People complaining about this event isn't fair but we can't even get to 200% so even if it was fair. we still suck.

Regardless if this event was well balanced or not, the 150% was a minimum for us. And I am very sure, that it wouldn't have been any trouble to reach them without complaining and giving up from the first day. Let's show the other servers that we still can hit at least those 150% !
I donated over 1900 balloons so far...alas...still in last place. But I will not cede...NEVER!
We can pass quite a few with a surge.
Why? Finishing #10 with 149% gets us the same reward as #19 with 100%. I prefer to get the greatest reward with the least expenditure. Also, don't forget that we finished 14/39 in phase 1. That ranking mattered. How much depends on the prizes for phase 1, of course.Quote:

I hate being/placing in last place!
Now that it's over, what do we get for last place?
we didn't get last place apparently. they posted results on the .com

German Server 12 got the best deal out of the whole event since they got 200%..
Probably German 14 also got a good deal as well. they got to 150%.
the 2 servers got carried up to the top.
overall a poorly handled event besides the voucher code, which was the only thing good about this event.
The funny thing is we got 225 Gems and the UKs got only 200 Gems.
(probably because we did better than they did during Phase 1).
right, i'm assuming the extra 125 gems was from phase 1 too. But its still sad they didn't adjust the prizes to be what they should with an event of this scope and length.
Yea. This event really was an epic disaster and a huge PR blunder. 20popsettlers HQ. blah. stinks.Quote:

I'm sure in the eyes of the Devs its our problem we didn't do better. Sure most of the server gave up. Some from get go as soon as we saw how ridiculous it was, and the rest after hitting 100%. But the root cause is the failed nature of the event and not how we reacted to said failed event.Quote:
