PETITION: Give BOO members a better 'consolation' prize!

[Terastas]

I prefer to call it the Potato Overseer Skin. . . Or in short, the P.O.S.. stressed

TaderBoyHere

You guys having to wear those Potatoes skins is why I feel sad for you guys, and you have somewhat been on the ball with many cute ideas, so I am sure you can use the P.O.O skin for something really nice and cute if not then cool.

The only ideas thus far that I have seen were "protest" avatars designed to make a mockery of the P.O.S. skin (or the devs for giving it to us).

To reiterate, it's bald, crying, the color of dung, and has worms growing out of its head. I had trouble working creatively with the original B.O.O. skin, but I was still able to make something out of it.

Just call the P.O.S. what it is: a kick in the nuts to someone that was already down. The game glitched, but instead of declaring a tie (as was the case in the manga), they took the weekend to "recalculate" the score and declared S.I.N. the winner without even so much as showing us the actual numbers. The way they handled the event was an insult by itself; sticking us with this soulbound P.O.S. item was adding fuel to the fire at that point.

The fair thing to have done would have been to apologize and let both sides keep their skin in consolation for the event being such a failure. Unfortunately, the devs have apparently refused to acknowledge their own mortality, which is why we got these B.S. "shut up and take our word for it" results instead.

S.I.N. did not win fair and square -- they were only declared the winner. Now the devs need to apologize to everyone, S.I.N. and B.O.O. alike. Neither S.I.N. nor B.O.O. deserved to have their skins revoked, and if the devs have half a brain, they better be devising a way for the Christmas event to make up for it.

Just because the manga "showed" it was a tie doesn't mean that the actual score was a perfect tie. The Gaia team had spent all weekend and several hours working on recalculating the score to be sure that the event was fair and square. Also, there were glitches on both sides. I know cause I had a friend and a mule on B.O.O. and my main on S.I.N. . Also everyone was told that their skin would be taken away if they lost the war and the skin does match what the two deities (ex-deities now) were fighting over: a worm. Also, for the soulbinding--both of the skins were like that at the start of the event and now, and knowing Gaia, most likely will be for a long time.

How does the devs apologizing fix anything? It was a war, it was fought, and it is over and decided with. The rewards (which everyone knew ahead of time due to the announcement) were handed out. The potential losers knew they would lose their skin, and the potential winners knew they would keep theirs. So, as far as anyone really know, the Gaia team kept to the parameters of and what was set up from the start of the event.

Are you saying here that if S.I.N. los,t instead of B.O.O., that we should keep our skins too? I doubt you would feel the same way if you were on the winning team.

I sign. When I saw the end of the manga for the Halloween 2K9 event, my first thought was "Oh, s**t...this isn't going to go well."

Let me say, I and a whole guild-load of people were completely put off by the ending. Putting aside the glitches and the "consolation" prize, it ended horribly.

I would have been wonderfully happy if S.I.N. won and it was actually like S.I.N. won. The site turning dark and evil, and the B.O.O. supporting shopkeepers/N.P.C.s disappearing. And then of course at Christmastime, B.O.O. emerging to try and fight S.I.N. again and restore the world to its natural order.

As for the event itself...REALLY? Does anyone know how to say "GLITCH" in gaia-speak?

And then that MARVELOUS potato-thing that greets me when I open my inventory...I cannot stand it. It makes me want to gouge my own eyes out.

The end.

Okay.

I know S.I.N did not fully win, just Gaia recalculating stuff. As I said before that it would have been nice for them to have called it a tie due to all those glitches making the event unbearable/not so good.

[Feines]

well, I was SIN but..
hell yeh, I'll sign 3nodding

[Iscah Callias]

I sign to get our original B.O.O. skins back because though the scores were in SIN's favor, the Sentinel and Overseer both lost. Why should B.O.O. be called the losers and given a skin they're too grossed out to wear?

[To_sweet_for_you_xox]

ill sign the skin is ugly and we cant get rid of it
put me down...KELSEY MCCREANOR

[Anonypanda]

I'll sign, and my alt will be keeping her skin.
The Book Runner. I'll PM you in a bit so you can show off the beauty of forbidden-ness.

If the game had glitched up, the devs had not been forthcoming with their methods / information and there was any reason to doubt the legitimacy of the supposed B.O.O. victory: Yes, absolutely.

There was no final score. The devs didn't even have the balls to show us even so much as a faked final score; we don't actually know who won or by how much. If the devs had just said: "B.O.O. won and ******** you if you don't believe us," I'd have signed a petition to let S.I.N. keep their skin as well.

[emolicous panda]

i wanna sign i wanna keep my skin and put newer stuff in my beautiful avi so yeah

[Elleyea]

I hope GAIA has noticed this petition by now....It would be a great Christmas present to have our skins in Skin Tyte.....

[Dollic]

ha ha this thread has gotten far. c:
Congrats.
Hope Gaia will notice this SOON.
I mean crap, it's been MONTHS~

✖I sign. It was completely stupid.
Obviously, the glitch screwed everything up.
And not only that, but really?
A potato-thingy skin? What the hell? What does that have to do with anything?✖

Those glitches also tell me that Gaia still can't handle doing big stuff like the event and yes the Potato skin is a completely random, out of the blue thing they made up. NOW THAT IS PLAIN OUT STUPID!
