Re: A Special Kind of Contest - Winner #2
Congratz to winners, look very nice etc etc
Well, I'm feeling kinda fooled :p the first post here says that keldeo is available for very short time, so I expected it to be something REALLY rare.
Well now there are over 30 keldeo and 7 shinies :p
I spent more than 200k credits in one of the first raffle rounds to get one, but I think it wasn't worth it...
I don't know your definition of "very short" time, but I don't see it as nearly a week /: and i don't know how long this event will go on.
I know that it's about fairness so everyone can get one blah blah, but nah.. I hoped I would have won something special xD really special, you know?
All in all, guess it was my fault xD i don't want to sound rude or so - it was my decision to spend so much money for it xD
Nevertheless, Keldeo looks really awesome and it has now a special place in one of my boxes
Thanks for this event, but please be more precisely next time!

Re: A Special Kind of Contest - Winner #2
Aaron-san, 30 normal and 7 shinies isn't much
and have around 50 special keldeos and maybe 20 shinies isn't also much, if you see how MANY users here are on va.
Look through the special dex. The contest promos or the halloween promos from 2009 are also mostly between 50 and 150 in total. So it's not a non-special thing, if there are more than 5 of these.
You should see the relevance of the users in total and not just how much money you spend. As you said..it was your own fault to spend so much money
and.. very short time... all people see this in a other way.
For me is a week for a raffle price a very short time.
and by the way... Ellie wrote: short time..not very short time. just to tell you. So a week IS a short time for raffle-prizes.

Re: A Special Kind of Contest - Winner #2
Su-licious, thank you for your response
Well, you might be right in this point; there ARE many users on virtuadopt. Still - I compared the Keldeo Rarity to - let's say - the Rarity of a Unova Shiny. There are like 5-10 shiny Species of every Unova Pokémon. That's what I understand as "really rare".
So if about 1/5 of all active users own a Keldeo, than it is nothing really rare to me anymore. But I suspect I'm thinking too much in a rivalry scheme (Is that even a word?). Guess Virtudopt is a very fair site which wants everyone to complete his/her Pokédex
Thanks anyways for your nice reply!

And that's no problem, you know I don't blame anyone for that.As you said..it was your own fault to spend so much money
Oh I'm pretty sure I read "very short time". I checked it right now and you're right - well... "short time" doesn't mean 2 or 3 days, me stupid I don't know why I thought it would sound as if it was available for less than two daysand by the way...

Re: A Special Kind of Contest - Winner #2
Love this promo, would love to win one but I can see that's not likely as the week is coming to an end soon. Here's what I'd like to know. I'm buying raffle tickets 500 at a time - oh - and I havn't hatched a shiny in the last 2200 eggs. Is there a red flag on my account cause I gotta be the most unlucky person on here.

Re: A Special Kind of Contest - Winner #2
by "a short time" i meant to imply that it won't be in the raffle forever replacing reshiram and zekrom. i actually don't know how long it will be up there, that depends on yankees and stef. could be a week, could be a month. i do think this promo will be a popular one though so it wouldn't hurt you to try and get it asap since it might be much harder to get if you have to trade later..

Re: A Special Kind of Contest - Winner #2
Its a very nice promo. Unfortunately, its not one I will have a good chance of obtaining so I might as well resignate. I buy a couple of tickets here and there just in case. It would be a real bonus if i get one but I am already expecting not to get one.
Raffle is one of the best ways to make a promo quite rare, even worse than Guess the number.
