I did post a wrong answer on one the the Yahoo Answers trivia a while ago, but I don't know that anyone fell for it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, the question isn't on Yahoo Answers, yet, so... We'll see.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There's a Spindles SHOP?? headspin
I knew this had to do with either a game or the colisseum or pet levels somehow, but I just couldn't find it. I even looked at Spindles. ;_;
Oh crud, and I was SO close too! tearfully waves goodbye to Blackavare Please come back soon! goes back to scanning tax dox in a funk

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I did all the spindles levels a few times and then it got monotonous. We used to play it in elementary school (minus interesting the graphics, that was back in the stone age). It did help with the trivia though, LOL! It was one of the few I knew right off. Should have guessed something would go amiss. sigh

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Odd on - Even off

I like Spindles when the site isn't lagging. I wouldn't mind if we got a few more games along those lines. I've been meaning to submit a Mastermind suggestion.

Planting false answers for the trivia would be fun. I wonder what kind of bizarre answers you could get someone to enter.

"No, I'm telling you, the answer really is 'I'm a Cheater!', trust me!"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I actually kind of like the shirt, myself. I didn't cheat, but I hope it does it's purpose and people stop cheating. The trivia is supposed to be for fun.

Many kudos to Arbor for drawing the shirt (it's lovely!) and Debi for switching the prize. I think you did a very good thing =).

Good luck to everyone on the new trivia =D. I'm sort of looking for the answer instead of working on my college school work =3.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I wonder if anyone of the cheaters will actually wear the cheaters shirt lol

I must admit I did find the whole lesson learning behind it very amusing, it's just ashame for the non cheaters to have to be punished too, but I applaude you for the whole concept

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like playing Spindles on the easy levels but the hard levels I always get stuck lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm going to go join right now and post on every single one I see.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can't play Spindles at all; I never would have known the answer, had I been participating. I hate that game! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"I can't help but wonder if one of the cheaters is out of the group of people who complained because they already PAID for their Blackavare, and they didn't want the price to deflate"

LOL! If that was known to be the case, they should give it out as a free gift. Just kidding.. sorta

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I cant believe I got a cheaters shirt <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /><br /> I didnt cheat

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, normally, there's a small herd of dedicated Subetians who go in and bust the cheaters, and put an assortment of (incorrect) answers. But I guess they were all asleep...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

~~is glad that the answer still counts towards the Blue Building...~~

I know it sucks to not get the prize we had hoped for but at least we GOT a prize. As long as there are competitions with prizes there will ALWAYS be people who cheat. I just wish there was some way of finding out who so that THEY could be punished but I understand why this happened.

I hope I got the new one right though...otherwise I'll feel pretty silly! lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LOL I love the idea of the cheaters shirt. Maybe this will encourage them to look for the answer like other and myself do.If I can't find the answer I will either guess or just skip and wait for the next trivia. Even tho I wanted that Blackavare badly I still will say way to go the staff who thought of the idea and who drew the shirt. * puts thumb up* The shirt is cool by the way

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well, at least I didn't look long that time. I used to play spindles a bit and the percent thing stuck with me as I had 83 percent I think. ;P So I went there pretty much right away. still, I wanted the bunny. ;P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

gah! I answered wrong and I actually like the shirt. Good luck with this one everyone.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"And... I can't win it either way. buys t-shirt XD"

I Put Up The Trivias And All That I Get Are These Lousy Complaints T-Shirt?

I don't suppose you could sneak some obviously wrong (wouldn't think to guess it under any other circumstances) answer up on Yahoo and see who used it? :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Moon, that's actually a really good idea, hahaha.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

huh? I didn't cheat. I found the answer ;P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

aye my guess was interest rate XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And... I can't win it either way. buys t-shirt XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh boo.... hope the Blackavare comes again

i think i have a feeling with this one... hope im right

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ugh, this trivia was even easy, too. x-x I was really looking forward to finally getting one of those minions...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I pondered that same thing, monkeyshine...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

cool, thanks Debi, really need it for my gallery lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i just now found the answer to the last one. this would have sucked so badly had i found it before this happened. and that's the third time blackavare had been a trivia prize, although now it's only been twice.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can't help but wonder if one of the cheaters is out of the group of people who complained because they already PAID for their Blackavare, and they didn't want the price to deflate.

is a cynic

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It might be, if people learn from this. Otherwise the old prizes will be re released in some other way. So, if whoever cheated did it to keep the prize from being re-released, or to have the Trivia taken down before hardly anyone had answered it, sorry, not going to work.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event!
Your answer discount for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Lousy Cheater Shirt and 1sP

i could swear that the prize was not 1 sp or a t-shirt.. what happened??? been on the other site all day...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

dang, stupid cheaters! i wanted that prize for my gallery

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lol, I must be the only person happy to get the cheater shirt even though I didn't cheat. Its wearable and blackavare wasn't XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Taking it down and putting up a new one would be pointless because: a) the cheaters had already answered, so they would have unjustly received a valuable prize, and b) they'd just cheat to get the answer to the new one. This is the way that known cheating on the Trivia has always been handled, by changing the prize.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

so will it be reused??

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I guessed and got it wrong...but, I still would have been amused to receive the t-shirt. Too bad the non-cheaters couldn't have received one also.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

people keep cheating=Debbi stops doing trivia, don't attack her, attack the cheaters. Someone knows who they are.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I tried to at least make the shirt pretty(ish) for those who worked to find their answer. T_T

Cheaters do ruin everything fantastic. :

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aww man stupid cheaters ruined it for the rest of us.

KlaatuWolf:
The answer was discount and it was gotten from the spindle shop in the games section.

Your mastery percentage affects the discount you receive, and gaining higher ranks will give you a greater selection of books to choose from each day.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks, smuky. I went to the spindles too, and totally skipped over the shop, arggh. Not that it would have mattered, because of the stupid cheaters.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Argh. I did look at the Spindles game, never thought to check the shop. Just as well I suppose.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That is crap. I worked hard to find the answer because I wanted the rabbit, not some t-shirt that said I had cheated when I most certainly did not.
If you knew the answer was leaked, why not take down the trivia and put up a new one instead of leaving this one up for almost a day and cheating us of our prize?

There will always be cheaters as long as a trivia exists. Yes, it sucks and those people don't deserve a prize or even to be allowed to stay on Subeta, but its impossible to stop them all and hurting everyone else who plays fairly is wrong.

I know you try your hardest Debi and maybe it wasn't even your call, but to have a prize I wanted and earned switched to some shirt that says I cheated does not make me particularly happy right now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh no, I'm not THAT bad! XD The Blackavare was requested; it was legitimately going to be used. It's just that someone posted the question and answer virtually immediately this time.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How did I miss the last two trivia?.. I was here for most of the day lol. At least this one sounds familiar

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

that's the pits for those who found the answer for themselves, sorry guys...I didn't, and got the wrong answer. When I went to check what really was, I kinda went "huh?" and then realized what must've happened.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It took my a long time to find the answer too... Gr stupid cheaters. I really wanted the other prize. Oh well, if Im lucky I'll get this next one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Then the old prizes will never be able to be re-used; it isn't fair to the people who already have them and got them legitimately if 1500 more suddenly go out. 500 isn't too bad; those will be absorbed fairly quickly. But that's about the limit.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

: The answer was on this page
http://www.subeta.net/games/spindles/intshop.php
Can't believe it took me 30 minutes to find it too :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The previous one was so easy, you need not cheat.
It was in the uhh... Spindles.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really wanted that minion

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Haha. I have a feeling that there's cheating going on before this and Debi was getting back at them for it and the Blackavare wasn't going to be used in the first place. xD
