Hi all,
I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.
Everyone is welcome!
I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.
This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.
So, I hope it catches on !
So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

When I saw rouind 3 was more messed up then round 2 was. the that calls them self big wasn't even in the funals for round 3 but is part of my complaint.
hope other final also. make camel wish they would of run a more legit game.
here is what I wrote
The Camel company has been running a 99 birthday contest on there web site since the beginning of February 2012. On there birthday wish part of the contest there was 3 rounds in each round you had to write up a essay on what your birthday wish would be. You where asked to do it in 3 separate categorys the 1k 2.5k and the 5k.
In the first round people where not allowed to vote for me after the first week.
The second round I did make it to the finals along with 33 other in the 5k category. When I saw all the cheating that was going on I called the number Camel has on there website to let them know that people where playing who won in the first round and bragging how they where not smokers and where playing using different names. Then I also asked the same lady why I was stopped in the first round she told me it was a computer clinch and said I am sorry it happened.
Well as round 2 was winding down I notice people where getting almost double the votes others where and I called again asking them why are they supporting people who donot smoke. I was told how do I know I said look at your own message board they are saying it there plus they are selling there coupons on ebay just look.
When round 2 ended I was in 12 place waiting to see if there where any dqs there ended up being a few in the top 11 which should have made me a winner but it didnt. The people at Camel told me i should have been moved into the top 11 because then know who I am and that I am a smoker. I was not moved up instead they Took 1 person who was even in the finals for round 2 plus then took others who where so far down in the running that they too should never have been bumped up ahead of me or the the two behind me.
I called Camel again and was told to wait this out it will correct it self.
Round 3 just ended and it ended worst then round 2 did because the ones who won where not in the finals at all.
In round 1 everything was run on the up and up and it just seems to me and allot of others Camel seems to be catering to people who donot smoke and i donot think they are even old enough to smoke by what they where saying on Camels message boards.
I do feel Camel is being very deceitful in there games and I believe they own me 5 thousand I did with in the second even there own employees where telling me the same thing.
Thank You

Just be carefull about it timing out after 5 minutes it will tell you and all you have too click in the box that pops up to stay longer.
What I wish I would of done was to get everything ready using microsoft word then copy and paste the whole thing instead of trying to do it in the federal trade commission site. I was tring to hurry in there because of the 5 min time out thing and I didn't really get to prove read it as you can tell.
Everybody who feels they got wronged should also file. The more that do the better the case would be.
If you do file make sure and tell them everything you remember because the more information the FTC has the harder it will be for Camel to stay there was no wrong doing by them,
Good Luck
