I guess EA realized how idiotic the community milestones were

    Where is evidence that the counter is based on gift bags? Unless there is proof, I will believe what I choose, and you can do the same.

    Say, for example, there are one million active participants and they have on average collected 5000 gift cards. That would equal 5 billion gift cards. Since the counter is currently a bit less than 500 million and the assumed numbers are absurdly low (imo), i think its safe to assume the counter is not based on gift cards.

    Oh wait...

    I live how Josh just owns you on a daily basis

    Yes! I have a crush too! :thumbup:

    All fun aside: Josh voicing awful, baseless conjecture that comes from his hate of perceived greed that very clearly doesn't doesn't exist and my pointing out the ridiculousness of just how wrong he is means he owns me you say?

    I didn't realize today was Backwards Day. Should I turn my shirt inside out? You clearly have a handle on how all this works.

    Well Josh's stalker is here, so we can all go now before this gets really awkward. I have no idea what he has planned for him, but if that 69 in his name is any indication, then tell your kids to leave the room. You were born in 1969 right? For the love of god please tell me you were born in 1969!

    You say we will barely get One community prize. I say we will get them all.


    If you're totally wrong then delete your account.

    You want to make an account bet?
    For sure 100%.

    I say we will get all the community prizes by the end of the update and if we don't I'll delete my account.

    If we do get them all, you delete yours.

    And I'm talking about forum accounts here. NOT TSTO games.

    I notice you never had the stones to reply to your own offer, however. Guess it's just wishful thinking on our part.

    I would not be at all surprised if EA set up the goals the way they did just so you'd pitch a tantrum about not getting the free imaginary prizes and make yourself look like a stupid whiny child, just so they could change it and you'd look even more ridiculous.

    You offered a bet and he took you up on it, at which point you showed yourself to be a weasel who's not willing to stand behind his own whining. But we already had proof of that.

    in the game click on the little ? next to the gift card counter bottom left of your screen... it will open the info page for the event.. I believe it is the in first section where it says "community prizes are based on the number of gift bag's delivered to friends.."

    As i can not access the game at this point due to a server issue.. I am having to do this off of memory..

    I am very glad they changed the goals from what was originally in the files. I didn't think we would make it to the Yes Guy, but now it seems well within the realm of possibility that we will. (I don't care too much if we make it to the cooling towers skin, but that also seems much more reasonable than it did.)

    YOU WILL GET THE COMMUNITY PRIZES. All of them. It's absurd to keep thinking that you won't.

    This thread needs more Josh and less stupid.

    You dont always have to live up to your ****-bag reputation. Try taking a break from it once in a while. Your girlish whining about everything is getting tiresome.

    Reading comprehension fail. :roll:

    I said that it seemed reasonable now to expect that we would get all the prizes, and you start screaming at me that I shouldn't keep thinking that we won't? Don't bother me again until you learn what words mean.

    Read it again. Slowly this time if it helps.

    EA lowered the community total recently because of an error thus making it easier to achieve the prizes. I, for one, am not convinced either way that the counter is rigged or not rigged, but I digress.

    There is (or was) ZERO reason to ever think that they weren't going to dole out all of the community prizes. Why would they do this? Where's the logic in it?

    To continually put this into a state of doubt only aggravates the (non-existent) situation further.

    I'm presenting you with the fact that yes you will indeed receive all 5 of the community prizes just like last time. Yes you will. Yes you will get them. You will get all of the community prizes.

    So think whatever you want, Chicken Little. But once the last of the community prizes are awarded (have I mentioned that you'll get all of them yet?) JUST LIKE THE LAST COMMUNITY PRIZE game, my "point" will be made.

    Some people.
