@Spinnifix We know GM / Ambassadors receive these monthly and there is nothing wrong with that, think we all know that for the effort put in to the community it is worth it for the ambassadors and GMs to get these please remember i was one as well. Just so you know i have never offered to give these away. my instance was just for a extra gift i got in the community for member of the month and was just trying to give something back to it. Do not think anyone expects people to be ambassadors or GM without some reward. think @me6412 was just an idea that could be done now and again

Dear Freddy! @Freddy_
I know you were a GE and a GM. I am familiar with everything. I just communicated it in general. I've also read it often that some here wanted to give away boosters and GB. But it is not possible. I've already done it because I got gold bars in the German competition. At that time I hadn't started a competition. In principle, I didn't take part there, but rather direct the player to the German house rules. Since they hadn't spoken German. Only the German players really wanted me to get the GB. I didn't feel comfortable doing it. Dear Ina, can confirm it with pleasure.

If someone spends money on games, that's their thing. I don't spend money because I've had the experience that it doesn't work. At the very beginning (about 6 years ago) I once bought gold bars in Candy Crush to pass a level. It didn't help because my boosters were always placed in the wrong places and I couldn't get any further despite the purchase.ย I think it's intentional to encourage the player who spends money to invest even more. There will certainly be a lot of players where they can. In any case, I did not, at that time, i learned my lessons from it.ย ย
In all games there are now few things left to win. One example is soda. When I started the game about 6 years ago, there were 3 boosters to collect every day as a daily reward. In addition, there were quests to collect another 10 boosters. And there were BGH almost every day. At the BGH you got 6 lollipops and 22 gold bars guaranteed. Until you were thrown from the throne, more gold bars were accumulating.ย Anyone who can count knows that I have accumulated such a lot of gold bars and objects. That's why it's very easy for me to move forward in the game. I could have created more levels in the competition, unfortunately I didn't have any more. That's the way it is when you're at the end of the map.ย BGH disappeared last year at the beginning of the pandemic and came back sporadically. Now there is only one lollipop to collect and things that I have anyway as a time booster. So I have to go to my reserves. When they are exhausted, I have to decide if I still enjoy the game and can work with a few things or delete the game. Under no circumstances will I invest real money.ย ย
In many of my other games there is no GB to win or the events have been discontinued. For example, I play Pyramid, Blossom and papa pear just for fun. If I don't enjoy games anymore, I delete them.ย
There are many badges here in the Community. Some I can get, some just can't. That's so. There are also a lot of badges that you could win before I came into the community. I will never get these badges. That is also the case. So why should I worry about these things? I take what is available for free. I take note of everything else.ย

But one should be able to accept it. The badges are available to everyone. Only the free players cannot get all the badges. Yes, it's like real life. The rich have everything and the poor have only the bare essentials. At times everything is offered. Thatโs what itโs about. Even here you are a 2nd class society in this community. Everyone should be treated equally here. It will always go on like this. Pity!!!

Just two quick notes since my dear friend @me6412 tagged me.
- I have no issue "donating" a percentage of the GBs I get as GM every month. Actually, I think we could find a way for the GMs who wouldn't mind to do that to use them for hosting special contests and stuff so they could be awarded to the "regular" players. I actually enjoy it when my friends here and even those I haven't met yet win either badges or gold from my contests. I do say "a percentage" though because I would still like to keep some of them as they are a product of my efforts in the Community.
- I try to come up with different ideas for contests & badges and I'm lucky to have my husband @MAW1972 help me with creating new badges so feel free to PM me @Spinnifix & anyone else if you ever have an idea for a new badge or contest & I'll do my best to accommodate it. In this case, it would have to be for Friends because that's the game I moderate but perhaps it could serve as a "pilot test" for other games and GMs who might see the advantages of doing something like this.
__________________________
On a side note, let me address your concern @DU123.
I really don't think @me6412 was shaming anyone. He basically stated a known fact about a player who has multiple accounts and has been reported by him & many other of us in the Community. As for naming, I believe there is nothing wrong with that as we all actually name -as in tag- each other when he "speak" here in the Community. @DU123, I kindly ask you to bear with us here and try to understand where we are coming from. ๐ Some of us have been here for a hot minute and have seen this multiple account issue unravel and it has affected the Community greatly. We've lost valuable players, GMs & SUs because of this yet this particular player still lingers around, even after being warned by the CMs, addressed privately by many of us GMs & kindly contacted by other players. It almost looks like a taunt, IYKWIM. I know it might be difficult to understand how someone can be so dishonest & tenacious at their dishonesty, it was hard for me & I know you are a trusted player @DU123 so I know it might be difficult to see the depths of this player's cheating. Please, do contact me if you want to know more about this and if you are interested in helping us keep track of these things. As I said you are a trusted player & those are the players -and friends- we all want to stand by & enjoy the Community with.
*Sorry @Spinnifix for me going a little off-topic here but I thought it was important to address this openly in the hopes that those of us who strive for honesty, fairness & clean fun -like you, @Freddy_, @me6412, @Nix66, myself & countless others- can keep enjoying the Community without having to worry about those who -if left to their own devices- could destroy this place we all love so much.

Oh, one thing I forgot @Spinnifix!
In the spirit of me agreeing with you so much these past days ๐ I would here like to extend to you an invitation to collaborate with me on a CCFS Contest for May (all my April dates are filled up with collaborations with other Game Mods but I'd love to do something with you & the other amazing Community Ambassadors, @Nat09 & @hechicerilla). We can only get better if we keep working together, having fun together!

I understand completely @Miss_Dani , and i've seen cheating in the 'Leagues' too, which still baffles me. I only asked because on another forum i used to post on if you had a problem with a member, i.e, trying to cheat the system, you were told in no uncertain terms never to name and shame them publicly, which used to really frustrate me. In fact, the person flagging the cheater would actually get in more trouble for naming them publicly than the actual cheater ๐
I even blacked out the name of the person when i enquired about the cheating on the Astral league because i thought i'd get in trouble. Good to know it's more openly discussed on here, i think transparency is the best possible thing ๐

@DU123 Hi, Just for my two cents worth and i know where @Miss_Dani is coming from with this but i would only hint to the player myself. Just so no one can say nothing to you. This really stems from a few bad people and 1 in particular for many have seen this person turn the community upside down for the antics to cheat the system and a few are now naming as they are fed up with this and i say fair play to them. Be funny to see if someone did get reprecussions from this after so many complaints. regarding this person
Could cause many to join the already growing list of people moving on from here, which is in itself a shame as they are good honest people that should still be here now

Hello my dears!๐
Would it be possible to open an extra contribution to discuss it? Because I understand that it is related to the badges and that something goes off of them. It's logical, and that's what I said to @Lola_Pop. You can't stick to the topic 100%. That will not do. But now it's more and more on a different topic and it has nothing to do with the badges and my discussion.
Please don't be mad at me. But it could be confusing when there are 2 different topics in a discussion.
Thanks for understanding!!!๐ค
