I do understand your problems about this "quiz contest".
It isn't even a difficult quiz, it's a fifty-fifty chance... *sigh*

There are people trying to make the contest even more interesting. And what happens? There are even more people complaining about it instead of seeing and enjoying the fun.

I ask you not to publish any quiz contest-products! Please respect this and simply use it for your own benefit.

No, he should be banned for behaving like that.
It was obvious this wasn't allowed yet he posted it.

What would be even more fun... If the contest product wasn't allowed to be sold on the open market but only through contracts.

Now that would be a funny idea i would love to see in the suggestion/proposal part of the forum

well... let me be another to complain as was said... I am a contest product company in both realms at the moment...

It does cost us smaller companies allot to invest in new buildings so we can make contest products.. now you expect me to build the buildings for both product in order to cover my 50/50 change of being correct... Its not on the market for me to buy and buy the time that other companies get it on the market I have already lost two day's expansion time for my contest buildings...

This is not making the contest interesting... merely confusing...

and how are we suppose to get buyers or our contest products if we are not allowed to discuss it on the forum???

I know it use to be like this in the past but changing it was the right thing to do back then already....

I do not mean to offend anybody... most of all GoldenEye... but this way of doing the contest is just plain silly... lets get back to business and stop messing around....

My two cents...

Thanks for the response, but let me correct some things.

Nobody is expected to take part in the contest.

If you want to join it then it is your decision, but nobody expects you to set a 50/50-company.

You can call it "contest product". That's the easiest solution.

Absolutely correct.

Sorry GoldenEye, but for a contest, why should I loose my time reading all that stuff that doesn't have any interest to me and other players. (I confess that I only look at KapiTimes for the contest and nothing more).

i read the whole part about me

Not to mention the following quote from the contest thread.

Hint for smaller companies:

Small companies often don

just buy 1 of each on the market and send to the contest company, look which adds you score
or ask someone who already has score

i noe how stupid! i mean just buy one of the products doesnt cost so much.... sheesh soo much complainin...

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 12.10.2009, 16:29

For those who couldn't figure out the contest product, remember this:

1. Buy 1 of everything on the market and send to "contest" at 3 caps.
2. Look at contest products forum for hints.
3. Look at what products have risen in price.
4. IGM someone and trick them into telling you, example:
"How much do you sell for?"
"150 caps per apple juice"

But, in light of this, I would be completely against the idea of Kapilands changing contest into complete mysteries where no clues or options are given at ALL.

There is another problem, the majority of the players (myself included) don't have english as their primary language, sometimes it's the 2nd, 3rd or even 4th, and messing with the text for contests lead to some confusion, cause when I read "The contest-product for one Realm is: ...", I thought that the product for realm one was ..., and when I tried to send it allways had a message error wich lead me to try to send it severall times (cause I was thinking that I made some mistake on price, quantity or even contest company name). And after reading the contest page I didn't find any clue about the contest product for R1.
So if you wish to make clues and other things use the forum and give to winners a prize (coins, status symbols) but let the contest stay simple and clear.

Darn...
So you build some beverage factories to produce apple juice and then noticed it was bottled cocoa and you had to raze them in order to build some beverage factories to produce bottled cocoa??

Darn, you really succeeded in posting the most stupid post of the month.

Pfff, people should stop acting as if it isn't allowed to play this game without producing and joining in in the contest...

Seriously it ain't that hard guys an no offence to anyone but this is and ENGLISH SPEAKING version of kapilands. There are other versions that are in different languages.. If I went over to the French one with my poor speaking abilities and started complaining that I couldn't understand the help section they wouldn't give a damn tbh :S They woulnd't hire a translator they would tell me to get over to the place where they speak my language, or learn french. Easy as that.

This contest is meant to be a bit of fun and it doesn't take a genius to work out which contest product is for which realm. C'mon we're all meant to be smart people around here, I'm sorry but if complete bozo's play who didn't have an idea on how to get over this relatively easy barrier then wow. Why are you playing? This is meant to be a difficult game- you can't expect to "win it" in a day or a week. So therefore you need 2 things: Dedication and brains. Some of you are lacking one or the other.

In the future I want to see more of these contests that aim to confuse players and make them use their brains. At the moment some people just look at the product and quality and buy it enter it and make an easy 200mil+(realm 1). If you make them use their brains then by god, they could be dangerous!!!
