Yea and that's why I won't get anything.  But then again that's the way it should have been from the beginning.


No, you're not going to get anything because the mass of the points from the beginning is from registering your games.

Here's some math -

1750+1000+500+1500+1200 = 5950: what anyone who owns all the games or takes all the quizzes can get

35 challenges * 500 points = 17500 points if someone won all the challenges. They are randomized, with 100 winning based on creativity as well (I'm not sure how it's chosen overall) - I've not heard of anyone winning more than 10, so let's go with 10 as the max wins: 5000 points from that.

50 clicks per day * 10 tokens = 500 per day, 5 days of auction = 2500 points just during the auction run alone. Not counting days before the auctions started, not counting clicks over 50 (and anyone on the forums can get 50 clicks a day, honestly, though I didn't try outside of the link-sharing until today)



5950 + 5000 + 2500 = 13450.



And if you were getting referrals before the auctions started, or more than 50 clicks per day, or won more than 10 contests, you could have much more.

There's more than one. And anybody who has 10,000 or more has used this. Don't even bother lying about it because with all of the registrations and the daily tokens combined with even one or two challenges doesn't get you to the 11, 13, 16k range. So pretty much every auction winner has cheated. Bioware should either disregard the contest, or a lot of community members are going to be pissed because we actually worked for our points and we're thousands of points behind the 10k and above group who decided it was cool to cheat.

Just doing everything minus the Twitter challenges and getting only 50 unquie clicks a day brings you to about 10k.  That pretty much makes your logic flawed. 


Exactly Twitter wins are very important.  I only won once. If I didn't win an auction earlier in the week, I would be sitting on more than 11k.

Indeedily they do.  I'd still be just breaking 7k without that one win.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a twitter account until like yesterday.  So now it's kinda sitting there pretty empty.

:whistle:

That's not very polite.  I did not cheat at all and I have over 12k with only 1 twitter challenge win.  Someone won 6 of them.  Thats 3k tokens.  On top of mine, I'd easily have 15k with that many twitter wins.  I posted on facebook/myspace/twitter everyday and have had a ton of support from people in this forum.  Just because they have more than you does not make them a cheater.


Concur, a bunch of us have lived and breathed this forum and others for days.  Taking the assumption that 50 unique clicks per day can be achieved easily through this and other forums, groups or lists:

13 Contest Days with 50 Unique Clicks = 6500 tokens (through tomorrow, of course)
DA:O Registration *OR* Questionnaire = 1200 tokens
DA:A Registration *OR* Questionnaire = 1750 tokens
ME2 Registration *OR* Questionnaire = 1500 tokens
DA:CC Upload = 500 tokens
Social Account = 1000 tokens

Assuming that my sleep-and-caffeine-deprived brain added correctly, that's 12450 tokens through tomorrow with *zero* Twitter challenges won.

Based on this logic, I'm not sure how any sort of blanket statement of "10k+ must have used some sort of cheat" can stand.  What am I missing?  <_<



You aren't missing anything.

Hell, the fact you can have 6500 tokens (Counting tomorrow) actually pisses me off. I knew I screwed myself when I slacked off during the weekend, but I didn't know I had screwed myself off that much.

Really?  Because I've got as many points from the games as you.

That's only if you get the points though.



YEAH I'M RAGIN'


Might just go full Hulk Hogan.


Awww, Shelby....  PM them like mad first thing tomorrow morning!  If it helps, I got both of mine within 30-60 minutes of emailing them and I put in the subject line "Twitter Challenge Winner Information" so it could not be misunderstood.  Ask too if they sent it to the wrong email.

I concur with everyone else saying that calling us cheaters is bunk. I won an auction at 10K+change, and I most definitely did not cheat for a single one of those tokens.

He doesn't actually stay here. He only drops in once in awhile and drops his link. Wait long enough and you'll see
