Leading individual Top Contributor in event has higher score than highest place Neighborhood. Supercell playing numbers?
i have no idea, but i don't think supercell has anything to do with it beyond offering a platform where that is possible.
I noticed there were various leaderboard folks who jumped neighborhoods partway through the event (perhaps thinking the birthday derby was going to be a bigger deal than it ended up being). So the top leader contributed part of her points to one NH and part to another.
I don't think so.
however, I see what you mean. I have been watching that farm put up crazy numbers the last couple of days. It was a two way fight yesterday.
Her hood should be the top contributing hood as well.
Oh, good point! We did have a derby break!Quote:

In my opinion, they have nothing to gain by "letting us win"
they have lots to lose, integrity
For one of the last missed global events I went to bed thinking, oh yeah we got this in the next hour.
(events end at my o4:00)
i was horrified to wake up and find out it was missed. They could have bumped us over then if they "wanted us to win" .... It was fishing and we were very close.
everyone is not a winner, you cannot win them all and you cannot feel the joy of victory if you have not felt the agony of defeat
sorry for all of the cliches, however, I have never felt cheated here
Their gain would be dealing less complaints from the players, could you imagine Facebook? It would probably blow up with players complaining about missing the goal. :saywhat:Quote:

I agree with Daz, they have enough going on right now without a forum full of angry posters 😖 But I think the reason that is more likely, is that it was the 5th Birthday Statue. They wouldn't have wanted us to miss out on that. The other things, like the Bell, could be rolled out again at another time, the 5th Birthday Statue, not so much.Quote:

...but I like it :)
I don't think 'cheated' is what anyone was saying. SC manipulate stuff all the time, the game is coded to the moon & back...this would be no different IMO
My first thought was that this person wasn't actually in a NH. However this makes even more sense.Quote:

Something tells me she/he may have done that on purpose.
As far as whether or not SC may have given us some extra "hugs" behind the scenes, I have no problem with that whatsoever.
If they have created the global goal number then they have some responsibility to help us ensure that we meet it. If they did give us some it certainly wasn't just a gimme. The players contributed the greatest amount of waterings/hugs. By far.
And an unsuccessful event is unsuccessful for everyone.
Perhaps from a purely financial/business standpoint they have witnessed what happens to player spending levels after failed global events.
"We'll show the world next time." just doesn't feel like adequate reward for the many who go all out for global events.
What are you talking about? That soaring, burning sentiment of "we'll show YOU" is not motivating enough?Quote:

Personally, when we miss a global goal I feel it very deeply. I BURN with an UNQUENCHABLE RAGE borne of desire to show the world how I Pixel-thing (whatever that pixelling thing I had to do was, I burn with it. Really. Like the heat of my desire actually makes sweat drip from every pore - or is that just summer in Texas? hmmm - Anyhoo --).
I actually go through all the stages of grief over the next week when we miss an event. It's tragical.
Denial: OH NO, WE DIDN'T!! We didn't!! We COULDN'T!! Let me turn my game completely off and reload it -- We CANNOT have missed the GLOBAL GOAL!! Auuggghhhh!!!!! [rending of garments, gnashing of teeth, pulling-out of hair, writhing -- all that dramatic stuff]
Anger: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR REAL LIFE -- you interfered with my game AGAIN, and that's why I couldn't work the event 24/7 with a singular focus bordering on insanity. I HATE YOU REAL LIFE, AND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU TOO, SO THERE !!!!
Bargaining: OK Real Life, tell you what: I'll pay compete attention to you on non-event days, if I can have you pause your demands on me completely for the event days. C'mon: that's a good deal for EVERYBODY, right? We can work together that way, right? Just hold off off on the kids or hubby's needs, and activate the anti-gravitrons on the floor so nothing can land on it, while simultaneously turning on the magnetic Return-Your-Things-To-Where-They-Go-O-Matic so my teenagers can't bury the house and block fire exits with their dropped stuff. Phone: solve all call-in or emailed demands for my attention yourself. Apple made you to take over the world from humans, so during event week (and while I process my despair at failing), I expect you to DO IT WITHOUT MY INPUT OR ATTENTION. This includes job stuff, school stuff, "important" stuff, and other stuff. Stuff it all!!
Depression: WAAAAAHHHHH I AM A PIXELLING FAILURE!!!! MILLIONS FAILED TO BE SUCCESFUL PIXELLERS BECAUSE OF MEEEEE-- I HAVE IMPOVERISHED THEM OF DIAMONDS!!!! WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I must curl into a ball and hide my face from humanity - oh! this bitter humiliation and weight of despair!! It's crushing me nigh unto oblivion!! I must write poetry to express the darkness of my soul and wretchedness of my entire being:
Oh 5 diamonds, glittering, tantalizing, attainable,
Sparkling in the Mayors Hand like a promise
of Happiness in a neglected town,
where the damned trains don't work right.
Your attainment fuels my fevered and uncontrolled
Desperation to catch 360 pounds of fish.
or my personal favorite:
There once was a Bejeweled Mayor
Who taunted his captive Hay Dayers
With promises of
Riches in glove
Just to crush our hopes for them much later.
Acceptance: Ok, that happened, but I can make amends! I can do better!! The mayors stirring words inspires me beyond all reason to show the world next time -- so look at me world! I'm gonna show you what kind of pixellator I really can be!! I'm motivated, focused, rested and ready!! I'm a pixellating machine, so bring on those double coin boats!!
[Inspirational Eye of The Tiger song surges - adrenaline rushes - purpose and self-confidence returns]
Oh - and if the global reward we missed was a UNIQUE DECO -- turn all that up to 11.
Is this not YOUR experience of a failed Global Event????
LOL
Lol. Ohhhhh Perky! I had no idea!
Ill never cry in my soup again!
Although I'm not ready to stop kicking Gregs bell every time I visit his farm. I think that's why he puts it away.
I keep poking his giraffe whose knees knock together in fright, hoping it will pee in an inconvenient place.Quote:

Me, I just get really, really, really (did I mention really?) ticked off for a couple hours. Then I forget all about it and start playing again. :) One of the few benefits of being a classic passive aggressive. Saves time! Lol.
