lol for GFM, the numbers are there just to boost his ego by players asking him "what are the numbers for?"Originally Posted by Asiastrings
As for a post race, nope, i am not in a race, however i do want to become a Mayor ASAP.
Now, as i said before, these issues must be addressed, however, i will not make a suicide dive on the BB's. it isn't worth it for me to lose my account over a game i don't even pay.
Ted! Thanks for the response. We would love to know why the Germans got a 3x gem spree on US Independence Day and this server didn't even know such a thing existed
Look forward to hearing from you guys.
How they are crunching the numbers would be extremely helpful, also the amount of balloons collected/ needed would be invaluable.
The end of all things
We got our #1 pick. We used it on JaMarcus Russell.
Given our current dead-lastness, I think it's pretty obvious that many on the US servers quit. The alternative would be a conspiracy directed only at the US servers.
Now, the fact that 14 of the top 15 servers are German (all of the German servers, btw) seems to indicate a problem, and that should be addressed.
Now, everybody save your breath for blowing up balloons!
It's such a high pitched noise, most can't hear it.
Come Join Us In [RISE]!!

Such an event was a good idea but those who made it up. Well these people, or this person was not a gamer. Was not even close to a marketing person. In fact he/she or them. Well they where of very little intelligence really.
This contest has no way of telling who is helping and who is not.
Those who work hard and spend high, get no reward for effort. Those who do nothing and even profit by selling water and coal at inflated prices. These selfish people make all the gain.
What should have been done was individual quotas. Rewards for doing more than the next guy/gal.
Just a public list of who has donated how much. This would make all the difference.
I will not put a number on the balloons I have donated but I know I am in the top shelf. I make em none stop. But let me be clear here. I am not alone. Many Many on our server have done the same. I am one of many.
But the fools error here is this. The lowlife that profits by selling at inflated prices and makes 0 balloons. He will get the same reward as the rest of us.
Its our good nature that makes his profit. As we will buy his water and coal. We will damage our own economy by not making Musk Deer or Settlers. We will spend gems on Choc Rabbits.
At the end of the day. No one will see our efforts. No one will see who the low lives where. Everyone on the server will get the same result.
Next time you run a contest. Talking to the fool that came up with this one, or the fools!
Make it so others can see the effort put in by some. More important see the lack of such from some.
I urge everyone who reads this to go into the trade tab. Take a look at who is selling water and coal at inflated prices. Email them and let them know what u think of them. if you run a guild and someone in your guild is selling high. Boot them out.
Use this thread to name those who gain from the good nature of the rest of us.
As for the joining of servers to reach the goal??????
Why was it that those servers who finished in 14th and 15th got joined?????
I would have joined 1st with last
2nd with 2nd last
You get the point right?
Yet again the guy/gal or them. Who made this up. You my friend have no clue at all.
I called out every Mod there is about the cheating germans and the EOTW event. I had converted text from german severs and fourms from many ppl about the glitch with ending EOTW after a few attack. They LIE its what they get paid to do. Cant deny it PvP was set to release late last yr.
Suggestions for this and future mass events:
1> Stop blaming BB, the Germans, your mother-in-law, people who buy gems, George W Bush, people who don't buy gems and/or BB & the Germans for us getting our butts handed to us every single time.
If you quit 4 days into the event like some spoiled 2 year old, stop your crying, look in the mirror and say these words: "We're losing because I'm a quitter who isn't doing what I should to help my friends win".
2> If you're charging 2 or 3 times the normal price for resources people need to be competetive in the event, look in the mirror and say these words: "I'm a useless parasite who screws people over when they need help the most. I should just go bash my own skull in with a crow bar and get out of the way.
3> If you're constanly complaining and making excuses for your losing attitude, please just shut up, stop dragging everyones attitude down and get out of the way.
I am glad that the point was made about the prices in the TO. I am very vocal about it when on the trade tab and usually get told to STFU! I get the old lines of it is capitalism at its best, I do not need to buy the lots so stop complaining, my lots are selling so what is the problem, etc.
On the one hand, I do get the point that it is a free market system and I will be the first to admit that I let the price gouging get to me more than I should, but to hear things like the gem sale is the reason we are doing so poorly or that it is not a big deal to raise prices is just ridiculous. We are in LAST place. Even if you could show me that there has been a huge spike in gems sold on the German servers because of the sale and that the gems were being spent specifically on buildings, upgrades, chocolate rabbits and resources to facilitate balloon making, it would not attribute to how badly we are doing in this event.
I am sure I will chastised for my comments (and that is ok). I actually said I will stop complaining about the prices in the TO (I hope this is not considered doing so) and I do intend to try to hold myself to my word.
I will even go as far as to say that my complaining probably only enticed people to continue to keep prices artificially high so I ended up causing more harm than good in doing so. With that said, if we actually worked together, we could have gotten something accomplished here.
I do not think that this event was well thought out at all but we only have ourselves to blame for our poor showing so far.
There is time to turn this around, isn't there?
Can we just work as a team the rest of the event? Even if we miss the 200% but get relatively close, I would say that it would just show us all that if we had worked together from the start, we could have gotten it done. So then we know what to do for the next one.
Be honest, am I being unreasonable?
