why the ghost event wasn't a great idea.

I think the 'find the ghost' event wasn't a great idea, because it takes only 1 person to find everything and then share it with guild mates/friends/you name it, which is clearly apparent by some answers...

If it was the original intent behind the event, no questions. However, I think that the event wasn't supposed to be a 'guild' one.

So, my suggestion is, in future, to stick with trivia questions on g-1, where 'sharing' your answers with other people wouldn't do much good.

I agree it was a lame contest.
Maybe it was just a way to count active forum members.

I liked the different format, the time one had to respond at one's convenience.. tough puzzle to crack, sort of, unless of course one uses brute force..., chance to win gems.... etc
But I do agree, I wish it was more fair... At first I thought BB did good by hiding posts.. but perhaps there needs to be a better way to ensure that the event is fair.

They haven't announced the winners yet... FYI, in my answer, without knowing if I'd win or know.. I had said that I like it..
There was no need for me to respond to this thread regardless, but I still did because I also did agree that I hope there was a better way to ensure fairness.
And also note, that when I responded, I hadn't seen other answers either... had no idea how many had responded before me, or if my response was within 1st 6 either... etc... etc..

Point is, I've lost many games and trivias... Me winning or losing this has nothing to do with my responses on this thread. :D

Hello Settlers!

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that some events will not please every single player on our servers, but community events are only an additional opportunity to engage our players, as well as another chance to win nice rewards.
We are just about finished gathering the winners, who will be announced shortly in the official event thread.

See you in-game,

Aeyline

I enjoyed it. I found them on my own and don't think I was in the first 6, but it was still fun and not subject to how fast my internet speed is and I could do it at a time when I was actually available. 9am & 5pm Eastern sucks for most people with jobs, and everything in between means finding time at work to stop and play.
