Ok before I start Id like to say some things :

1)Mods please dont lock this because it seems Im bashing on CP. I think this is the worse thing on CP right now, and I think it should be addressed.

2) This isnt a complaint thread because I lost or anything related to that. For proof look at the "Christmas-y igloos" thread. I posted my igloo just to post it and said I am 100% sure no one will win.

Alright now I shall begin. The contests in CP have always been lacking good judgement and no decent winners but Im almost positive that it has sunk to a new low. It is 100% true that : winners are picked at random, and its entierly unfair. I mean the first igloo there with 12 puffles ... was that a joke? and then there is one that literally has random stuff in there at random place. And all the others are just :rolleyes:. I see beter when I just go "igloo hopping" Alright fine, so the "winners" win 10000 coins for this blah balh blah but another "what - I - find - surprising" thing happened which made me completely wonder - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was the night of Wednesday the 20th a.k.a the night before the winners of the contest. I was trying to have a party at Matterhorn server when a penguin by the name of CRUSEB is telling everyone at the dock (which was pretty popular) that he won the contest. Now me being the defiant stubborn person I am said "There is no way, the contest aint over" and by the looks of his igloo (:sick:) I was pretty confident he was not in shooting distant of winning. He told everyone "Just wait till the paper" so since his igloo which was very laggy was packed with haters I left. Today I open the newspaper and TA DA wins ! I really was shocked so this means that he somehow must of knew he won before a) the contest was over b)during the contest.

Well Im done here and the past two contest I said ill never enter agiain but this time I satnd by my word fo rthe next one. I am also trying to e-mail CP about the sub-ject. ANd dont say im complaining because i know (emphasis on KNOW) that something fishy is goin on with these contests.

I still wouldn't mind entering a contest, just because if I actually do win, I get the coins, but I'm not a member so I guess it doesn't really matter much anyway. But I agree that they most likely are randomly picked, because there's no way they could go through all those igloos and decide on the best ones that quickly, even with the extra staff they must have now that they're a part of Disney.

Yeah he just kept saying "I WON THE IGLOO CONTEST" and just thought he was a 5 yeare old kid starved for attention, but... seriously how did he win. All the igloos were either really random or really plain. The only plain one i liked (which still didnt deserve to win but...) was the one with the candy canes in front. seriously I really want to know how that guy one... he had 2 couch a fire place and 2 randomly placed candles. ... wow.. really unique!

Honestly it looks like he is a new member who just got like 5 thousand coins and brought all ne could buy.

Cruisb must have already got the 10,000 coins. That's probably why he was so confident! :D

Well let me guess a Cruiseb fan well he couldn't get the coins before the contest ended before thursday and updates are at 10:00 pst so hes a hacker:rolleyes:
and I think personaly if someone wins the contest they become rude and I think Cruiseb is a poser just like everyother "famous" penguin :P

dude, I agree, the igloos sucked soo bad, they wern't good at all.

LIke the first one and 2nd one, were horrible, I'm pretty sure it's at random, and I HATE cruiseb because he thinks he's the - PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! - and probably hacks, or maybe good friends with a mod? who knows!

mods just have bad tastes in igloos :rolleyes:


and how did i swear I didn't even say the word i put the things in it =.=

Sorry, did'nt know that was swearing -.-

Dang, now i'm probably going to get banned, dude thats lame I didn't even swear! Mods, please look at the word, it isn't even a word its like a S with *** in it.

I agree, most of the winner's igloos were really dull and too random.

Well so far no one has dis-agreed with me which must mean that most of CP is on my side as well.

He most likely knew he won, because he may of noticed he gained 10,000 coins.
I have seen a lot better igloos than his.

They do not choose people by random.

Say it was a costume contest, they have people go on at random times, and pick the people who have the best costume. So if you are lucky enough to be on, they might choose you. They probably do the same for igloos. But maybe people with good igloos dont open it much or anything.

The best Igloo was Darkskittles.

Yes, every Igloo/Dressing contest the game throws, my friend and I always do really well (or atleast better than some of the winners). Now we just say "What's the point? They're just going to choose some igloo with a red and green baloon in it" For the first dressing contest, some of the camping styles... had almost nothing to do with camping!

And crazy was just people who plopped random items on.:rolleyes:

I'm not a Cruisb fan. I've never even met him! Anyway, I repeat, he probably already recived the coins therefore knew he won. Let me just state my opinion without being condesended.

I realized this 2 night ago too, but that means that they must go on a very unpopulated server and only go on once. I mean the people who won were not even . . . close to decent.

He most likely knew he won, because he may of noticed he gained 10,000 coins.

who hasnt? I still think it is abit unfair that they hand out the coins before the contest is officially over
