Agree with the general consensus here. As a marketing tool to try to generate more revenue, it's a great idea to include just non supporters. If just one of the 2 that won like it and continue to re-up then that helps. But as a "gift" then everyone probably should have been included.

Still, great idea.

Happy grinchy new year to everyone lol. Really? Only 2 are handed out, so the odds of anyone getting them are very slim. There is something I think they should do when handing these out and that is to check to make sure the person getting it is active. The people in the pool for this should have checked with their team within 1-3 days. It is their site, they can hand them out however they feel like. I think people are making something out of nothing. Life isn't always "fair", their are winners and losers (although education tries to teach otherwise unfortunately), and in the end it was a total of, what 20 Euro? Come on guys, chill....

im coming from the other point of view. i think its perfectly fair to only include non-supporter.
supporters already reek the benefits, let us poor people get some.

sfniner08 Dude, I know what you're gonna say. And I am so completely...
me Wait, wait, wait.....The only reason we die is because we accept it as an inevitability.

Grinchy? No, its only about "appreciation" - because the odds are very slim, i would never thought about "being on the losing side" - now I KNOW i am!

They should do something? Well they never should made this statement.

I always pay my share to show appreciation running this game and site - i even gave away "to poor" people 3 months, one of them renewed by his own - but i am on the losing side by purpose.

Yes its still a nice idea, but the marketing wording "killed it".

It's a not a huge deal for me. It's not going to make me decide to quit playing, and it won't be the difference between supporting the game again or not. Just think that if it's a "gift" then everyone should be in the running. If it's marketing to get someone new to maybe buy it, then that's fine too. Whatever helps the game.

You failed the test.
How quickly some forget our anthem "Fair for all". We need to shout it out this slogan much more.

Of course the selection was from whole user database, but it's a fact that big majority of managers are non-supporters and it wasn't hard for Mr. Random to pull two non-supporters.

We don't have April's foul day and I know you aren't used to admin playing around but this was my little New Year's joke collection including locking topics.

Got ya! You just been S.Nimdatized!

To me it just seems that you try to put out fire with gasoline and I don't believe you. Better to admit that it was a mistake and it wont happen again, than insulting peoples intelligence by saying that it suddenly was among all managers and we failed the test (even if it was so!). Poor marketing skills and shows the real attitude of the people behind this game.Last edited on 2010-01-03 at 16:38
