Secret Plays
This page is intended to help players ensure their safety and privacy during the game. Read sections that concern you!
For individuals who are weary about joing in on the thread:
You may still participate and win! You can play by private messaging your answers to ContestKeeper and/or Shannoncole. Your name will NOT be used publicly on EIHTER site (TC or here). You will be messaged your points status and are still eligible to win grand prizes!
To help players cope with 'scam fear' we encourage you to review the inventory of ContestKeeper on TPPC to ensure ALL the prizes are present. Grand Prizes may not be trained to the level specified until the end of the game. If you have any concerns about the legitimacy of the contest or the existence of prizes, please pm ContestKeeper and/or Shannoncole. The TC moderators can also be utilized to investigate claims of 'non-existent prizes' and contest scams.
As promised throughout this site and the UCT, every player WILL recieve a prize. We want to encourage participation and promote a fun environment for every player. Please be considerate when awaiting your prize. We have no way of knowing how many people will be playing and because of this, we may be ill-equipped to provide a pokemon prize immediately. We do guarantee that all players will receive their prizes within a reasonable time-frame (about a day).
IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE CONTEST AND YOUR PRIZE NEVER ARRIVES, PLEASE CONTACT SHANNONCOLE ON THE TC. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF SCAMMING, YOU ARE WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO A MODERATOR/ADMIN, BUT PLEASE SEEK A RESOLUTION THROUGH SHANNONCOLE BEFORE DOING SO. CHANCES ARE WE SIMPLY MADE A MISTAKE.
As mentioned in the 'Is it legit' section above, all prizes are kept on ContestKeeper's TPPC account. Please be patient after you win as it may take several minutes to process the pokemon and/or declare a winner. All winnings are double-checked to ensure the right player receives the prize(s). If you are a Grand-Prize winner, it WILL take several minutes (no more than 10) to process your pokemon and announce the end results.
We want you to understand that some contests have 50 or more prizes and keeping track of them is sometimes difficult or confusing. We will make every attempt to ensure that all winning players receive their prizes within a reasonable time-frame. All attempts are made to have the pokemon ready before the contest begins, but sometimes we might forget one or two and this can cause delays.
IF YOU ARE A WINNER AND YOUR PRIZE NEVER ARRIVES, PLEASE CONTACT SHANNONCOLE ON THE TC. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF SCAMMING, YOU ARE WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO A MODERATOR/ADMIN, BUT PLEASE SEEK A RESOLUTION THROUGH SHANNONCOLE BEFORE DOING SO. CHANCES ARE WE SIMPLY MADE A MISTAKE.

Player Safety
Can I hold you to this?
Yes, although this information won't be posted directly to the thread due to the length of the content, we are liable for the rules and guarantees posted here. If you see something that does not follow the rules posted on the TC or TPPC, feel free to report it. We do hope that you attempt to resolve this issue with us first.

Do not challenge other player's answers.
Do not post comments that are angry in nature.
Do not use profanity.
Do not attempt to make another player seem unintelligent
