THIS IS JUST A GAME PEOPLE! Have a little bit of good sportsmanship, will you?


I think we need to have both skins taken the hell away, From day one there has been complaints that this event is rigged and from all eight days, eight days to have this event people are already acting as if they lost instead of trying to win for their team.

Nice to see the user effort going into the event guys!

Now I understand that Gaia worked so hard on this event and the Dev's are overworked as it is however I am asking you, as a user to the Admins/Devs to remember this is still YOUR event. You can only please us so much and I don't think you will lose users if you show some "Tough love" every now and then. If you have to be "Fair" to us either do what you said and take one skin away or go one step further as explained below.

I guarantee most of us will continue living sans a virtual skin item and will probably be forgotten in a few months or so.

Please do not reward whining, Gaia that makes you a "BAD parent" if you do. The only way to TRULY be FAIR To both parties is to totally remove the skins. Their might be more whining but a lot of us have already shown that no matter what you do regarding this we won't be happy.

In my opinion because of this we don't deserve the skins. And everyone will pay for those being sore losers/winner. They are the ones who should be to blame, Not Gaia staff.

Feel free to plead your case as to why their cannot be a loser.
Why does everyone have to "Win"?

I think we need to have both skins taken the hell away, we barely even started and this event lasts eight days. Despite this a lot of people are already being sore losers/winners.

So youre saying that the best way to handle people is just to break down and give up on the entire event?

It sounds like you are whining about whiners, by your logic your account should just be removed because ******** it your not going to be happy unless you get what you want. Its almost like people are rationally self interested or something. Craaaaazy.

You know what? Yes. Neither of the skins are great IMO anyway... then again I seldom stray from my feline skin. User Image It'll show people that when we whine we all lose.

No you are just misreading me.

When the event is over we all get the skins removed from our accounts.

That is also "fair".
Now this is an idea that I can get behind.

No it isn't. It its only fair if one side wins and one side loses. Youre method is just called the "Give up and cry" method.

After the super bowl does the NFL just say ******** it reduce the score to 0 because people are going to be angry no matter who wins?

If one side wins they should win because thats how the event was presented to us. If SIN wins and BOO does not and gee BOO still worked hard so they get it anyway then I WASTED MY TIME.
Is it good parenting to favor one child at that?

This is far from give up and cry.

If we only have two sides then a logical person would gather that the outcome will only be one winner and one loser. You will see this in any competition.

However I do realize I am dealing with a lot of illogical people so I will try to use easily understood words so I can be understood better.

The point you have is that both sides will be winners as that is "Fair"

My point is that if we take away both skins that is equally fair.

As far as being denied items, we have plenty that we can keep, the only thing we would both lose is the skins.

Do I have you so far?

Yes.
If kiddo A does his homework, he gets a sucker.
If kiddo B whines and throws a tantrum, he gets a time out.

This is why I am suggesting that noone gets a skin.

Because the other "child" is a sore loser when the race is not even over yet.

No but we are not babies. Gaia is not our parents. Life has winners and losers. It REALLY sucks how this event was presented and I don't like the idea of giving us something with a condition that it would be taken away unless we dont compete in their arbitrary glitchy unintuitive event.

The fact of the matter is that the "Take it all away" side is just another whining group whose whining about the whiners for the pure purpose of getting what they want.

Now that the score is back to being correct, this is completely fair and if I lose I will happily give my BOO friends who I know are working hard a pat on the back for winning.

Yes, punish everybody, because that will make EVERYONE more mature.

Tell me I am whining one more time, maybe it'll come true if you say it again.

This is a fact, whoever wins or loses, the loser will have a temper tantrum.

To avoid this, neither side gets a skin and it is all the losers fault.
Besides, the event is optional so if you don't care for it, noone is holding a gun to your head and saying you HAVE to do this event.

Try relaxing a bit and attempt to just have fun.

First off you have no power the punish anyone in anyway.

Dont you see that YOU are throwing a tantrum stubbornly sticking to an idea and ranting and raving about how you should get your way and its all someone elses fault?

No, it'll just make everyone more bad-tempered and irascible.

Look, you want people to change their ways, straight punishment is not the way to go. Look at prison. You send people to prison to rehabilitate them, and guess what? Most of the time it doesn't work. They go back to the same ways they had before being arrested. That's besides the point, though.

You want people to change their ways, you have to give them incentive to do so. Punishment is not an incentive. Besides, participating in the event is punishment enough, believe me.
