:rolleyes: Umm, I think this is where I post to vent? :p
Okay, so lastnight there was an event, [contest] winners get Lindens for prizes. So I attend this event stayed till it was finished. First of all they were disorganized, so okay, I can understand that part. But...what about the contest??? Next thing I hear, they are announcing the next event, which is now another scheduled event and another contest. I'm confused, so I ask what happened to the contest earlier. Cause heck, I went there to win. No one answers me. Then they have spinning above a raffle ball. Which goes off every 5 mins [I think]. It announces my name, but do I win any money? No...and why dont I? Oh because the owner of the ball hasn't set it to deduct money from his acct. So, wtf is it doing up there spinning and he keeps reactivating it. Another BOGUS crap.

All I'm saying is, dont advertise an event and not go through with it. If there isn't much people at the event, then at least have the common courtesy to announce to whomever that the event or contest is cancelled. I mean, come on. Have some class and get a brain. I was going to complain to the owner of the club about this situation when I realized the owner was the same person who was there and spinning that stupid raffle BOGUS ball.

NO CLASS....two THUMBS down! BOO!! Am I wrong or what???

If what you say is true, that they never held the advertised contest - then report it to Jeff Linden - since Events without competition are not eligible for Linden support.

On the other hand, it's possible the host was unable to attend and was unable to post a cancellation notice at the Event Calendar.
