:DThanks to everyone in G4 and to to all my guild mates for the support and resources that allowed me to focus on balloons throughout the three weeks.
:)Thanks particularly to those of you who helped me through the difficult times when my anger at the way BB had misled us and ignored us needed to be overcome.
In my humble opinion this was a decent event. It could have been great if BB had just been a little more open and honest... and superb if they had given us a few tools to help.
We did not achieve 150% but I have no doubt that it was an achievable target - part of the challenge was to encourage more players to actively participate. We did not sufficiently achieve that, not least because of the uncertainty and feeling of betrayal when BB changed the goal posts after 100%.

Actually there was another 92700 but Flash crashed before I grabbed the picture :(
lvl 5 ph buffed 24/7 converting mostly hardwood and water
Thank you to everyone who engaged in the competition
:o Thank you Fishslice for your kind words and award.
:D Thank you to MOD_Fhearghus, Peanut1944, Daizey, Seamus1 for organising this competition. I know it will have added significantly to the pressures whilst you continued to make balloons as fast as you could
:) Thank you to everyone who encouraged and promoted the event throughout the three weeks. Including those who gave me resources and chocolate rabbits to convert, and those who helped me when I was feeling annoyed with BB. That includes Lulu from Sandycove, everyone on G4 and especially everyone in Fre guild.
:)Thank you to BB for giving us the opportunity of a fresh challenge. It was better than EotW even though far from perfect.
It is interesting to see that level 27 to 39 could almost match the level 40 to 50s in the "biggest water-production unbuffed"category. Any one who says this was competition for level 50s was plainly wrong.
It was interesting:
to see how much we could achieve by working together, within our guilds and in G4 etc.
to recognise the barrier to success caused by BB's lack of helpfulness and poor communication.
to see much more difficult the job of convincing others to participate was in the face of "active pessimism" by a few.
to see the different motivations - from those who wanted personal gain in the form of some in-game currency to those who wanted to take the challenge for its own sake (or set them selves individual challenges) and those who wanted to foster co-operation across the server.
