I am very grateful to everyone who votes for me, so please do take my frustration as being ungrateful. I am very frustrated that the same people are winning the "Most Beautiful Tank Contest". The tanks that are placing the highest are not even complete tanks...I read that there is a committee that reviews the tanks before posting the winners, but this can't be...if it is then the committee must be Mohamed Riyath and Erika Krajcsovicz, because they are the top winners every week and enter the same tanks every week, a few are not even complete tanks. How is this fair play? I agree with the other players that are as upset over this kind of "Popular Voting" system as I am.

PLEASE MAKE CHANGES TO THE GAME SO THAT EVERYONE HAS A FAIR CHANCE AT WINNING. It is unfair to work so hard on our tanks, only to have them fall so far behind in ranking because we don't have as many friends or because our friends play fair and vote for other tanks also.

See for example the 14th place winner, who also won 5th, 8th 9th, and 11th place...all closely related number of votes, all entered each week and the 14th place tank is not even finished...

I Agree 100% i,ve been on 3d from the start and find this contest a joke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!tanks with a few rocks and a plant winning over tanks with hours and hours of work and beautiful tanks being passed up by garbage tanks yes garbage tanks because the have all their friends vote ?????i think 3d needs to redo its rules or get rid of this joke of a contest all together !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!just my opinion

OFFLINE

We've already made it only possible to vote in the contest since level 5 in the game.
We also made it slower to browse through the tanks list - it will take at least 4 seconds to switch from one tank to another.

Dear Alex,

     Do the Aqualife committee really believe that a 4-second delay will stop the cheating? You must be kidding. Remember that the cheaters have 7 LOOOONG DAYS to accomplish their cheating. I am very sure they don't mind waiting 4 seconds to vote for their tanks using their multiple accounts.

     And again, what will a very low level requirement do to stop the massive cheating? And Level 5??? ANYBODY CAN GET TO LEVEL 5 IN LESS THAN A DAY! No sweat! A higher requirement will perhaps work. Something like level 30 or higher.

     I am very sorry to say this but these ideas ARE SO LAME. I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL THAT THE DEVELOPERS AND AL3D STAFF ARE SERIOUS ABOUT STOPPING THE CHEATING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS.

     You have probably noticed that more and more participants are dropping off the contest each week because of your lack of action. In fact, many of my friends from major aqualife groups have expressed their intention of a boycott of the contest and boycott of your products. NO MORE BUYING OF DIAMONDS UNTIL YOU FIX YOUR GAME.

I'm surprised that no one has even mentioned that some of the administrators of AquaLife groups are using their groups on Facebook to not only beg for votes but bribe the group members with promises of gift boxes to all members that vote for their tank(s). One such individual isn't even who she claims to be and has many Facebook accounts in different names and no doubt is voting for herself from all of these accounts. She is not alone when it comes to this childish form of cheating. I do not feel that the blame for any of this falls to the developers of AquaLife 3D and many of you who know me should be very well aware that I would not stand behind them unless I believed that firmly. AquaLife 3D has been doing everything short of removing the gallery in order to try to stop the cheating. How is it they can possibly be held responsible for so many adults acting like ill behaved children? The answer is of course...they cannot be. Rather than blame AquaLife 3D, perhaps it's time to start expressing your anger towards the players that have not only been cheating but make no attempts to hide their childish behavior. They have no shame and attempting to cause them to feel shame is futile, but perhaps you can express your feelings in open forum and leave these groups that are using the forums to behave this way. Un-friend those that do not follow suit. Why would you want someone as a Facebook friend when they exhibit such moral structure and intelligence of an amoeba anyway? Although my wish would be for an AquaLife 3D appointed group of judges to make the final gallery choices I am aware that it would take a lot of manpower and time to judge so many entries on a weekly basis. Only to have perhaps just as many people complain that they didn't like their choices. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation and I can only hope that the end result will be better than what we have now. Not everyone is going to be pleased with however it turns out but you can't please all the people all the time. Get out there in those groups and express your disdain! When you see people begging for votes and posting pics of their entries tell them how you feel about them.

this contest has gotten outta hand... I will say it did light a fire under my butt to get back into designing tanks,.. but that wasnt a hard thing to do.. from the start of my Aqua 3D tanks I always made tanks complete and fun to look at.. and I want to say sorry Dennis for being cheated out.. I make tanks for enjoyment... not for the diamonds.. so if I dont place into the top 3.. so be it.. but Dennis's horse was the week I know it was a cheaters game... I have been in this game along time now... the game only had 15000 players when I started.. Ive been in the top 3 for the top 50 rankings.. finished EVERY task... but to say level 5 is the requirement to vote... Really ??? on a new account thats a joke,... if I sit down and play I can do 5+ levels in a day at a million xp per level... I have,.. so thats not even fair to make it a rule... and since dennis's horse was entered I have sat out for a couple weeks myself... the contest was a spark into the game and I so wish it wasnt based on how many fake accounts you made,.. but how amazing of a design you created.. as that is the reason behind it.... Alex you know I support and love this game but the rules and the tanks in the last 3 weeks that are by the same people.. arent designed at all.. thrown together and then mass accounts are voting them up... so as a long time player please think of something else... level 5 isnt gonna help... NOT AT ALL !!! and I so want to get back into creating and enjoying this game.. but the cheating isnt even fun to watch from the sideline's...  Im asking for friends on my neighbor's.. and for all that arent... it is a great thing.. dont let them wreck it.... Mike

You can block such people from messaging you or set it up to not see any of their posts if they are annoying you. We cannot control other Aqualife 3D fan groups except for official one and the Forum the links to which you can see under the game.

WOW, I guess the moderator only chooses the messages to respond to... only those that favor Aqualife 3D... What bias!!!

Thank you for ignoring our messages Alex... It seems you only want to listen to selected messages.

You are not a fair moderator at all. Just saying.

There's nothing to answer yet, we'll see how effective these measures will be.
BTW, we can now ban a user not only for the current week, but for forever - he won't be able to expose his tanks to the contest from the banned account any more.

Ok then, my question is...how this guy Mohomad has been getting 100's of votes every week for incomplete tanks...u have to know that he is cheating somehow, no one has that bad of taste...there are three or four accounts that enter the same tanks every week and they are not very creative tanks at all, but continue to be in the top winner circle each week...how can this be? and how can 3d let this continue to happen?
