I personally have not won a prize, I am generally a few hundred down in the list, so I am not getting a benefit from anything. Everyone that is complaining about "fairness", is upset about the value or amount of prizes, or has any "complaint" and not a "thank you" followed by a suggestion for future events is whining and needs to grow up, plain and simple. Sorry if this hurts your feelings, but it's a big cold, hard world out there, and someone needs to start talking to you like an adult, not babying you. From the beginning, it was made clear that this is just a small extra thing that a few people on the moderating staff are trying to throw to be cool, generous and fun. To complain at all is bad form, bad manners and just rude. This was not promised to you, not promoted and advertised as being bug-free, or bankrolled by Inno to provide time and support of developers to polish it up. Complaining about a gift just makes the person sure to never try to give you a present again, not strive harder to please your spoiled behind. No matter how hard you try, someone will get some advantage, but winners find a way to win, while losers complain that life isn't fair. You didn't "win" anything by the fact that a different type of winner was chosen, the instructions clearly stated that there would be a different winner each day, not all would be first correct answer. Either way, there is a thing called a "Pyrrhic victory". which means that you won, but really lost overall. If your rude, ungrateful comments caused a change, only to have the organizers say "let's not bother doing that again", then we all lose in order for you to "win". Try using a kind, helpful suggestion, and adding a "thanks", and you wouldn't be considered whining.
Example: "Thanks for the cool mini-event! I'm digging the concept, but have you considered changing the contest times for different days, not using the first answer or somehow spreading the chance to win around, since it's easier for some to be on at that time? Thanks Guys!"
Remember, these mods are not getting rich for doing this, they are not your kids or employees. Speak to them the way you would like to be addressed by people that you are going out of your way to throw a small party for. How would you like your guests to start complaining about the snacks you offer at a party with free admission? How would you want them to phrase that to you?
Lol, this is the first logical thing you have said. Ummm, was that your behavior here, I think you should practice what you preach, you are a hipocrite:
People need to stop complaining about everything. Life does not owe you fairness, you owe the world your best effort. Fair is where you ride ferris wheels and eat cotton candy, and even there you need money to get in.
If you are too busy making real money to be first to answer, you still have a chance to win a 'random' prize, so be happy that you have a job and stop whining over the equivalent of a couple day's treasure hunt in rewards. Be glad someone is offering your ungrateful behind anything more than a swift kick in the pants! This is EXTRA CREDIT, a bonus, not something owed to you. You want better prizes, then wait for the Official Valentine's event - hopefully there will be a quest for acting like a baby so you can finally win a prize!

BTW, if there's only one prize for correct answer, why do like 90% of people put the same thing? You can't know which person/movie/etc. they are eluding to for sure, so why not try something different than the last 50 people?
