Yep, that would be fair, who knows maybe Russians have better connection to Tanki Online servers?

Yeeah...plus the russians didn't have problems on their website while those using the english website had issues.

First of all, though the contest's idea was excellent, it could have been executed much better. I'm no web-designer, but I'm sure there are ways to avoid the problems that we faced in this contest.

There should have been NO complaints of partiality ("Russians had a better chance"; "People who're close to mods did better"; etc.)! That's how properly the contest of this magnitude should have been designed!

Slow loading of pages because many people were viewing the website should've been addressed before the contest. 

Instead of the winner being the "fastest", there should've been some other criterion. Those having better internet are clearly at an advantage. This point might be a bit controversial, but I really think that being the fastest on the internet is really a matter of good internet (and of course, to a considerable extent, how fast you can click).

However, as I've mentioned before, I liked the idea of the contest very much. Searching the puzzle-pieces across the different announcements is great!

EDIT: Also consider time-zones! : )

@Marcus The quest is good and all, but i find 3 issues that quite bothers me:

1. This event really shouldn't be made also for the RU community, since 10UTC for them is in the middle of the day, and they tend to do it easy, but for EN people, it can be tough to be in time and try to get prizes.

2. The puzzle riddles should've been divided more, and not only in 2020/2019 announcements, i would've appreciated for example to see the last piece in the 1st ever post, would make the quest tougher, and more interesting.

3. The riddle dispertion should've been made not being mixed up all together, but maybe it could've been divided by year of announcement, would've been simpler to make, and longer to solve.

Within minutes or hours?

@MarcusI found the contest great, but I would prefer for the 'start' time to be at a much later time. Maybe 14:00 UTC.

Well, it's my fault, guys. We will probably have one more such contest very soon and there won't be such problems.

The only person to blame for the problems is me.

Hi Marcus, nevertheless, I want to say thank you to you and the other CMs for spending your time and effort to setup this game. Its easier for us to complain but not easy to organise a good fair game. There's always this invisible tension between the RU and EN tanki communities imho.=)

No doubt russians had a better chance. At least, do you know what happened here? English participants had a bug which delayed their last puzzle part by a few minutes, which is a lot in such speed competitions

Read my post again, carefully.

I never said you shouldn't have complained.

I know about the bug, but by the time I reached the 35th piece, it had been resolved.
