[Official Event] Orange Gold Madness - Concluded

[jammi]

Voltera here. Pass the title to whoever wants it and quotes this msg

Guess I'll take this one if the offer is valid.

I think you'll need to add the title to yourself - I can't mess with moderator profiles, haha.

Fat.Kat+Dtr>Fat.Kat =30K. I'd love the forum title the event was great and look forward to the next.

Some highlights of the event:

@Sarwar 's video of the Barge Cardamine convoy:


Small encounters, including bribery and fighting the Cardamine catchers:

Barge Cardamine Convoy fight in Colorado: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXVkole0k5s

There were over 20 more unrecorded small encounters such as briberies and piracy attempts which I sadly didn't record. Despite the high value of the cargo, for the most part interacting with Cardamine catchers was fun. Once again, I can only hope everyone enjoyed the event.

Congratulations, @Antonio, to your new PoB! It's like a dream come true!

A true POB connoisseur such as myself who never owned or touched a POB in his life could have only dreamt of such a reward. I suppose the saying "there's a first time for everything" isn't in vain.

Yeah, when staff members who supervise events are getting major rewards for it, totally legit. Not sure how it goes in your corner of the world, but at least here where I live it is normal practice to not participate in events that you organize. Like lottery employees and their families cannot participate in it. Call me old-fashioned and fair guy, but what do I know how the staff operates these days, while also insisting to control governments to be fair and just.

I sound like Karlotta. Help me. Or just stop doing suspicious things. Thank you, have a great day.

Considering you started the shit slinging in the other thread, I'll point you to the reply. But to re-iterate the point, not only have I always participated in events I partially or fully organized, this one wasn't organized solely by me at all. Originally jammi was going to post it, but due to other dev matters it kept being prolonged more and more until we were potentially going to miss out on a weekend of the event. And we did, considering the event started only in late sunday afternoon.

If you think this is some corruption-based set-up, you're welcome to provide any evidence of such. I'm more than happy to show the amount of hours clocked on the ship and encounters with players I had. And if you think just because someone participated in organizing (not supervising, because I don't have the power or access to do that. The event plugin setup, tracking, as well as rewards were all done by Haste and admins) they should completely stay out of the event and not play the game, then thank you for your feedback.

Then I highly suggest to make rewards public in advance so people know what they are striving for. And to put a rule in place, that rewards are only given to players who don't share their ships so there are no unfair shenanigans based on who has more friends from different parts of the world.

And I am not implying that you (Antonio) are corrupt. Just saying that it looks very suspicious. I know my words come across as shit slinging, but that really just unfiltered feedback. I don't beat around the bush or sweettalk to staff members.

I'm pretty sure Haste only looked at ship rankings and cargo delivered, not player names, when deciding the rewards. He can elaborate on it himself. Heck if we were so corrupt, why would I "give myself" a smuggling POB? I'd choose a full set of tremors and quakes or something more tangible for the activities I participate in. The answer is because I had literally 0 say in my reward, Haste decided it was going to be a smuggling POB and it stayed that way. For me it was, and still is, "take it or leave it". And he did it correctly, I shouldn't get to have a say in my reward despite my wishes.

I agree with the rewards being more transparent, and more timely published. That's feedback we can work with for the future, and it's appreciated. Alt-sharing I am pretty certain is a no-go as is, though I don't think anyone did that in this event (admins can confirm).

If anything, some players did the smuggling on several different ships, missing out on thresholds per ship. For those who did, post here with all your ships and total cargo delivered and the admins will reward you accordingly.
