I just found out that one of the entries is made with a hacked game. It contains a graphic for an item that is in the game files, but has not yet been released. I had posted a question about the item with a picture and the question was taken down by a moderator who PMed me to say what it was.

Question: Should I disqualify the entry?

Answer: YES.

Seconded.

I realize you said the item wasn't in the game files, but is it the town with 2 crashed spaceships? I thought you could only have one.

Which entry is it?

What is the contest for ? If it's for disign what does it matter how someone got their stuff as long as they designed it themselves. Now if it's for who bought the most premium stuff, that's another matter.

It's about having everything that was ever released. Only certain items were excluded by that rule for android players and something else. The problem is that this contest is being held at the official EA forum and the regulars simply do NOT tolerate any kind of hacking. To buy donuts is a serious business for some and to brag and win a contest you should deserve it in this forum.

Is it this?

Absolutely yes.
Cheating is cheating.

Hacking is discouraged and having a hacked game should make for automatic disqualification.

A shame, the town's owner has a really nice looking town.

That town looks the part; but, I remember you can make as many crashed spaceships as you want. I forgot how since I don't have Kudos.

This is true. I have 2 crashed ships. I got him with the last Halloween update. If I remember correctly, it appeared in my build menu again and I successfully built it! I also got three hot-air balloons from the current COC update free-of-charge when I logged into my SF from different devices.
The extra lemon tree remains forever stuck in inventory. :-/

Correct. I noticed several of the towns had 2. One town even has at least 10 Homers. :mrgreen:
I'm sure the extra Homers were from some excellent stitching with him in different skins. I finally gave up on looking for the h***. I guess it's the Gil pic I posted.

It's worse than finding Waldo....
