This is the first time I've posted about it, thank you much, and I will continue to do so as I see fit.
And again, it was never said to us that they WEREN'T needed or COULDN'T be done, just that ONLY the team leader could post.
It was never 'zomgyouteamedyouwilldienaosplitupanddoitover'
Short of having monitors go with every participant, I don't know how you could stop it.
Still reeks tho. -
Quote:So after doing it once and realizing what is involved and that the clue didn't mean you needed additional teamates, you still teamed.Originally Posted by Mermoine
I'm a little confused as to some of the emotions flying around now. May it be anger/bitterness or what have you. I'm on both of those teams of the 'ineligible' winning people. Unfortunately there were some things quite a few people were not clear on when we started this and it was not made clear until after we had all run it together the first time. If you listen to the "Needle" clue it says "2 people are needed". A couple of us were under the impression that it meant 2 people on a team, no where in any instructions does it say "Intended to be played solo or No teams" hence why some of us teamed up. So AFTER we all ran it the first time together it was made aware to us that only the 'team leader' could claim the prize. The first time we completed it, an ineligible person was team leader, so that screen-shots not even posted. Once we found out the rule Re: the team leader, we ran it again correctly. Also, none of the prizes are being split amongst the members on that team as far as I know. I am not sharing in any of the winnings from the two winners on my team.
Edit: Actually it wasn't under AFTER we completed it successfully the first time that we found out about the 'team leader', because we ran it and failed several times.
Again, you should stop posting. -

You should really let this go, its not worth your time. Its over and done with and posting against Reetta about it will not change anything. You are bitter and you are running off your emotions...it would be wise to calm down and realize this is just a game. Okay so you got caught unaware, as did many others... so you tried to be honorable, and that is good. I can assure you this is not worth your time, it is better spent elsewhere...

I had zero to possibly gain from this contest. None. Look back at my first day submission at the top and you'll see I purposfully rendered myself ineligible.
However, I, as others, know of a lot of people who were trying to this in the spirit of the contest and were soloing it.
Should Cai have said teams were illegal? Yeah...but then the same people who were doing it now would have easily gotten around that.
Know your facts before you act as if you know me.
And also, why am I am interested in this? 'cause I'd hate for the Tempest Legion et al to have ruined this for the other people who were soloing it, which then maybe leads to there not being any future events.

One of the clues suggested getting help, at least how i read it.
You really should stop posting.
Let your actions and those with you speak. -
Quote:Awww, it's so cool that you gamed the contest out the goodness of your heart. Bless you, apparently Justice can form teams when the intent is to screw other players.Originally Posted by Reetta
I'm sorry that I like to team and help others that are confused? (I'm really not sorry
)
Again, gg Tempest Legion. -

I know it isn't as much as one of the grand prizes,

From the OP - The top prizes are claimed, but don't give up hope yet. For anyone on the list of entrants that successfully secures the antidote I will reward you with 200 million influence. There is plenty of time left. Good luck!

@Reetta
I Survived "Hack"
Prize claimed: LotG since i was late :/
Then you all switched with you as team lead.
Accuracy, please. -
Nice Kat & Reetta.
I see ineligible people helping out?
Guess you couldn't "hack" doing it straight, huh?
I guess prizes mean more than fun.

A little history lesson for you there champ. We did care. We did play nice. They bent us over and called us a segment. The end.

Don't mind me folks, just padding my post count. Seems to be more productive than responding to the OP.

Quote:This. Just don't whine about whichever way you chose.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
I'm not saying the data isn't skewed, I'm saying that regardless of the calculation, playstyle and other factors are going to make a difference in the amount of time it takes to get those merits.
It's like building a character for performance or for RP fun. If the RP build is sub optimal, that doesn't make it wrong or bad, but isn't the lowered performance part of the choice to build and play that character? -
Sorry, you must think my statement was aimed at you, which would be a violation of the posting rules.
That said, with the merit system, a player has choices to make. To make a choice and then whine that they didn't earn the benefits of the other choice pretty much speaks for itself. -
I love this thread. We have a bad player who takes 6 times longer to do the lgtf than others and yet they refuse to learn how or do it smarter, so they whine that the Man is keeping them down. Which actually means that the merit system has a Darwinian effect, which is how it should be.
And the whole argument is idiotic to begin with - you want the rewards those merits would bring? Spend the 2.5 hours you waste on that tf/sf and use it to market. Marketing is where you really earn what you need to get what you want. -
Well, not really, I just wanted attention.
