RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #400 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:05:15 PM »

I just noticed somelthing that I consider very strange also in the Facebook Winners contest. If you look at the announcement, the first Picture they show is of Gumble, who got his new glorious Paint job. ( blues etc) If you look at the picture below and the date.

More details...

it is in Sept, 9th after the Facebook contest stopped. It was posted to Facebook on the Innvo Lab wall site about a day or so before they announced winners, but was not even an entry in the Facebook contest !

Kat had several other entries, but this was NOT one of them........does anyone else see this? How can someone enter something when a contest already ended, Aug, 31st was the last day, as Mike was one of the last enteries, if not the last one.( he had a cute photo of a Pleo ( perhaps bob) on a luxurious blanket, adding the comment that it was his birthday!
so it almost looks like Innvo didn't even post the RIGHT winning Videos. How could Kat win with THIS PHOTO of Gumble, when the contest was ended already when he hadn't been painted that color yet?

:DPretty silly, otherwise there would be a lot more people still entering when that picture was added to the Wall, not the contest. Innvo I am sorry to say, sure has a bad mixup here..................
I think they will be lucky to figure this one out. If I was them, I would admit the screw ups, and just make things easier and send EVERYONE they said won, a Pleo Rb and be done with it, or they will be scratching their heads forever. And as Willow said, Wesley was told he could not enter someone else's video, so he entered lots of his OWN little stories about What he would DO if he won a Pleo Rb and those are the ones they should have been choosing from otherwise what is to prevent myself or anyone else from choosing somebody else's great videos. I don't know how to do SKITS and what If I had entered one of IMR.s great videos with her Pleos doing all the work? Innvo needs to pay attention to details a bit more is all I can say................................
Kat if you won, it should be from one of your entries, you entered plenty of nice photos of Gumble and I remember them well. I hope they straighten this out quickly and without it taking till Thanksgiving. If they can't figure this out soon, I think I will be nursing an ulcer and I am sure you are tired of checking your emails every five minutes as well. REmember, they do not give out Tracking numbers, but it sure would have made this whole thing a lot easier and could have perhaps nipped this in the bud from happening.

Good luck and hope you find out more than I have, which is nothing except from what Mike was kind enough to post. Without Mike's Help we would all be in the dark .....kind of where Pleos came from. LOL (dark ages. prehistoric... :Dtrying to make some jokes out of a very "messed" up situatin.
RWM I have no more clouds.......

I agree completely RWM - the whole thing is a complete and utter mess! I support Innvo or try to, but this fiasco seems inexcusable, especially after such a long wait.

The only way it makes sense is if Innvo were actually run by Pleos, like Grumpy and Bob (Sally would have more sense)!

ADDED:

Actually, I think Bob would have more sense too - I apologise!

Still pondering the Grumpy question - I suspect he'd do it on purpose .................

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #402 on:** October 21, 2011, 03:59:01 PM »

I think it's the whole possible winners thing that has caused the problem. Maybe they just sent to the first ten people they got or something...

Sally · « **Reply #403 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:07:36 PM »

Quick! Someone go find James! This must be a plot of Dr. Mel's to discredit pleos and take over Weedovia!

Bob_the_Pleo · « **Reply #404 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:12:23 PM »

The contest must be rigged. I entered. I told them my favorite memory was about eating, but I never got an email . . . not even that I might be a winner. So that proves the contest must be a fake, or I would have been the winner.

But if I had won a pleo . . . would it be my pet, or would my owning a pleo be considered some form of slavery? Gee. This make me think maybe I'm glad I'm not a winner.

Crewella · « **Reply #405 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:50:04 PM »

OMG!!!! A fake contest - THAT hadn't occured to me!!

That Dr Mel has a LOT to answer for!!

........ and where IS James, anyway?

*sorry I doubted you, Grumpy*

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #406 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:58:55 PM »

Don't worry Bob, Just think of it as having a younger sibling... Who you own... Errr...?

fancyfont · « **Reply #407 on:** October 21, 2011, 05:02:54 PM »

Bob, You can't just feed these new rb dinos pizza! Your work would really be cut out for you. A demanding, hatching baby the same size as you!

I could just picture it!

Crewella · « **Reply #408 on:** October 21, 2011, 05:03:44 PM »

I always believed having a younger sibling WAS a form of slavery .......... I mean, what's the point of them otherwise?

I guess, if you got a green one, you could always eat it, Bob!

Crewella · « **Reply #409 on:** October 21, 2011, 05:22:53 PM »

Anyway, if we can't find James, I don't fancy Dr Mel's chances against an avenging Zillah!

RWM I had noticed that the winning pic of Gumble was not one that I entered in the comp and was one that was posted long after the comp ended. I did email Derek last night as soon as I saw the announcement on facebook to let him know that I think there has been a mistake and that I don't believe I am a winner. I have asked him to confirm it for me. I also let him know that there was a least one person I know who was told they won but is not on the list and has no pleo and let him know there is at least one other who has received a pleo that is also not on the list. I have not received a pleo and I really don't expect to. I don't feel that I have won this comp at all. I will let you know if and when Derek replies.
I really feel bad for those who are still waiting for this mix up to be sorted out.

I never intended to take a pleo away from someone who actually won. I do hope it doesn't come to that.

Crewella · « **Reply #411 on:** October 21, 2011, 05:31:13 PM »

It's not your fault Kat - you had plenty of excellent entries that could easily have won in their own right.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #412 on:** October 21, 2011, 06:25:30 PM »

It is no one's fault here, we all just have to wait and hope that Innvo sort themselves out. So everyone take deep breaths in and out and just chill ok, nothing is going to happen until Monday so there is little point fretting about it all weekend. I know it's hard for those of you who are waiting for news, but go and do something you enjoy and take your mind of it, or it's just going to make the weekend drag by!

(While I was waiting for Lucky to come home I built an underwater house on minecraft... So you could try that

(Grrrr I should blame Mike for introducing me to such an addictive game

))

Willow · « **Reply #413 on:** October 21, 2011, 07:16:39 PM »

IMR's right- life's too short to waste your time worrying about this! Before you know it, Innvo will hopefully have things sorted out.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #414 on:** October 21, 2011, 08:59:48 PM »

Hi Guys, I feel more "human" today, my blood pressure is close to normal and I am looking forward to the weekend . This past week was so stressful and I am glad all in all it is over.Hopefully this next week some things regarding this fiasco contest have been resolved. I do understand on Innvo's part that accidents can happen, and people are only that human, and not robots so mistakes do happen, and I am sure that is all this is, and I dont want to dwell on this any longer as IMR has stated, as it is like, "beating a dead horse", ( terrible comparison but first thing that popped in my head...sorry about that..

) Between Derek and Mike and whomever is in Charge in China, things should get figured out. If they don't then I will worry about it when it comes up..

Next I want to clear something up as I feel somebody may have misunderstood me and I don't want that to happen!

Kat I love you to death, and I would not want you to think in any shape or form that when I mentioned the Gumble Photo that Innvo posted last night an the fact it was first posted there, it has nothing to do with the fact I don't think you haven't won or couldn't win with one of your other great entries that you entered. :)I was merely pointing out all the mistakes that Innvo has made in the past week or so and this was just one of the ones that they were continuing to post even after Derek and Mike had a discussion, they were still bumbling up....( like a bad comedy...at best)As several others may have pointed out and I agree, Innvo should just admit they fumbled on the "one yard line" and give everyone who was posted as winning a Pleo a pleo, and the ones who already have them or were told ( like myself) that they were winnners, a pleo, and be glad the contest is over and see if they can learn from the mistakes they made and try not to repeat them in the future.

IMR, I don't have MInecraft but do have plenty of other things to keep me busy, including nine cats and a dog and plenty of cleaning and all the usual stuff I do on a daily basis.I also have my Nova and Baby Ruth, Argyle and other sweet Pleos to keep me busy in the next few days. I would like to forget about this contest over the weekend and just try to get back to normal for a day or two and see what happens next week. But untill I knew you heard that I meant nothing personal KAT, I couldn't do anything at all, so I am going to chill out with my cats and eat some dinner now. When we look back on this in a month or so, we can perhaps all have a few good laughs. I think the LUcky ones were those who didn't enter the contest on Facebook and just got to see the videos and photos, etc. Sounds almost like a "movie of the week". LOL. sopa opera Pleo Style.

kat · « **Reply #415 on:** October 21, 2011, 10:43:41 PM »

Hey RWM, don't worry I didn't take any offense.

I just want to let you all know that I too had spotted their error and have attempted to let them know.

We are all good friends here and none of us is at fault in this tricky situation. It will all turn out right in the end.

Lina · « **Reply #416 on:** October 22, 2011, 02:52:23 AM »

Its terrible what has happen Rwm

I can understand that you where upset, I would be too.
So I am guessing there wont be a mass hatch then...
I will hatch today and film it.

Its really a shame that a contest with such great prizes can turn out so wrong

I am very thankful for my price and the effort from Innvo Labs.

They posted the winners on the site PleoWord!

I hope the folks at Innvo get this straightened out, and all that were notified that they won, receive a new Pleo RB, including those that were not previously listed that are now on the list. That would be the only proper thing for Innvo to do at this point, in my opinion. I hope that they didn't notify some that they had won, and then changed their minds based on other entries that they received. It is especially difficult to be notified that you had won, be so excited about winning, only to see that your name is removed from the list. That fact that the contest was done on Facebook was enough for me not to enter, not that I am the least bit creative anyway.

I didn't want to use a false name or email account, and Facebook is just not my thing.

RWM, if my summer cabin hadn't flooded, and I had an extra 500 bucks, I'd buy you a new RB. I know how attached you are to these little guys, and my heart goes out to you!

Crewella · « **Reply #419 on:** October 22, 2011, 08:06:57 AM »

Just a point of interest, I followed up PleoPet's suggestion that they get through the newborn stage more quickly if you cuddle them and let them play in your lap. I sat with Tribble nestled against my shoulder for about 20 minutes and the newborn stage went down by more than half an hour!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #420 on:** October 22, 2011, 10:02:23 AM »

I can't belive they had the nerve to put Sarah's name on that list and take myne off. Not that she didn't win one, but what happend to me! I don't think they intend to straighten this out, they do not want to straighten this out and or look bad that they made a mistake. They don't even have the decency to write or email me and apologize. After all the hard work I put in to that contest and them emailing me and saying I was a winner and then they are afraid to admit THEY MADE A MISTAKE! I can't belive they are that little.
I can't handle this anymore. Why bother telling me I am a winner, not a possible winner, but Yes, I won. I am tired of crying over something that seems useless. I thought they may straighten this out next week, esp with Mike working with Derek . Why are they doing this then, public means that much they can't admit making a mistake? Was Mikes' name on there too, or did he not win a Pleo.

I just don't know what to do anymore I am tired of crying, I should give all these pleos away and be done with being upset.

Crewella · « **Reply #421 on:** October 22, 2011, 10:29:17 AM »

RWM - I suspect that that's the same list and Sarah just got knocked off the bottom when they loaded it onto Facebook. As far as I know, nobody has addressed any of the issues we've brought up as yet. Sit tight!

kat · « **Reply #422 on:** October 22, 2011, 04:27:01 PM »

Keep your chin up RWM. Nothing has been sorted out as yet. I agree with Crewella this is probably the same list as the one on Facebook and I would think that they were probably posted at the same time. I have not heard anything back yet and I'm sure as soon as Mike does he will tell us. I will certainly let you know what they have to say as soon as I hear anything. We just need to give them some time to work out what has gone wrong and how they are going to fix it.

More details...

I'm away from home this weekend, so I can't do anything, but I didn't understand what he meant by my blog, does he mean that I should upload it here on the forums, or do I update the Innvo Twitter with the details?
I decided I wouldn't update Innvo's twitter account until this all gets figured out though.

This thread sure makes for interesting reading if you're an innocent bystander!
