Pay To Play Parkours

I've been seeing a trend of a new type of 'legit scam' as of now people are saying its not a scam and some are I personally am highly against it as it's just a redesigned payaway.

    Yeah it is basically a re-designed payaway even though most are possible ATM.

    Cubehood is annoying the heck out of me with his constant HOLLAS 24/7 with his "pickle parkour"

    they should never be allowed. almost all are fake and scams (well cubehood has been proves its possible but there were some others afterwards that were fake copies) people are just cloaking scams into other things where it looks like its real.....

    Most are impossible you mean.
    I am against this aswell.
    So far I have only seen two and won prizes off both. :3

    "Pay to enter" has been around since the beginning. To me, i find it repulsive as i see it as against the spirit of Cubic castles. I Tend to leave as soon as i see such things.

    It being used to scam is also not new. Just the methods.
    Be sure to report such builds to the moderators for them to look over, if it seems toxic to you.

    It has been in the game for a while, and I think that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard of

    You pay for a parkour in order to get the prize at the end? Why don't we just buy the prize with cubits? Not to mention, the quality of those parkours ain't good at all.

    I agree in that it's a new form of "payaway", and I do not like it.

    Tell you the truth, when I design my maps, it can ALWAYS be accessed for FREE! It might be like Paladin Proving Grounds that 1) require a password based on certain info from my clan (if I wanted the area to cater specifically to clanmates), and 2) it is seriously, SERIOUSLY, punishing and/or brutal! In either case (or if it's both at the same time), I always give ample warning so you know what you're getting yourself into.

    Yes, Paladin Proving Grounds can be described (by some) as just punishing. But at least it's doable, and it's 110% FREE! :D

    No they have dishonored my name by using pickles to do a parcour >:( this isnt what my precious picikles are meant for they arent meant to be used to scam woth psrcours that make u die at the end >:( dispaointed
  • SpaceChickenSpaceChicken Member
    even parkours are ruined...i wonder if once even looking at builds will cost cubits
  • PEgamingPEgaming Member
    Ugh... these.
    A lot of the latest ones are scams...
    The worst part is, we can't even prove they are scams, as a lot of people suck at parkour.. 100% of them are also mostly phantom foam, just to get the fools who buy the telefood to buy more... this community is doomed.
  • SpaceChickenSpaceChicken Member
    only way to stop this would be removing phantom foam ;-; or making it impossible to foam like 3-5 blocks near prize dispenser
  • $uper Leopard$uper Leopard Member
    i think these should be kept because it is kind of a way of earning for some people that make them fair for example nevarwel he made one and(i admit i wasted 500c)i had alot of fun and the prices and prizes were fair.the best part was that he almost always kept decreasing the price
  • PEgamingPEgaming Member
    @%24uper%20leopard Well, that is kinda the same with payaways...
  • LiberatedLiberated Member
    The thing is about CubeHooD's pickle parkour is that you grab the prize and then DC! Soooo that prize is no longer yours. If he wanted to make it not a scam (which it is) he would allow 2 lives! 1 for getting the prize and 1 for retrieving it.

    Paying to play parkours just takes away the point of doing them. It serves a purpose to complete for fun not to pay, complete, earn prize. >-<
  • The Platinum PaladinThe Platinum Paladin Member
    I hate payaways AS A CONCEPT! And putting up a fundamental CC experience behind a paywall is...If you ask me, not nice.

    Seriously, Parkour is about the thrill of mobility, and the glory of overcoming a challenge. It's not meant to be a system for getting robbed.
  • fishstepfishstep Member
    Just don't pay to enter anything.

    You have 5 lives in cubehood's parkour. Players should be banned/warned for doing such Type of payaways even if its a legit one.

    He changed it then. People probably called him a scammer too much and since he already made over 80,000c as he said he has made. I'm guessing he is satisfied with allowing people an actual "chance" to win now.

    I got kicked out on my first death.
    BTW, I think everyone sucks too much at parkour to even claim the prize once. Overall, nothing has been given away yet.

    I don't think he is left with much cubits now because he was saying others to donate him and the last time I saw his game only 3-4 people bought the pickle. (I got a prize worth 8k for 100c). He won't be doing more pay-parkour- aways atm.

    scammer: cubehooD
    realm name: none, was in a room and you couldnt get trough a portal
    victims: many people that payed 375c per pickle (i think about 50 people got scammed, maybe even more)
    what happened: he did a sort of parkour ''payaway'' with at the end pets like hoppers and dragons in there. but the last 3 or so dropper blocks and the dending machines were phantom foamed so it was impossible to get there and since there was 1 live you couldnt say scammer or so so people were all going further

    It's not a scam. We have tested it and it's possible to get a prize. But it's really hard. So from now stop calling this a scam or harassing this player.

    Check the scam reports.
    I'm against this new type of payaway but you can't call cubehood a scammer.Like superxtreme said its "possible".

    Could anyone tell me the realm i wanna try

    I don't think that's because of running out of money, but because word has spread that the "difficulty" is borderline criminal. There's hard, then there's unwinnable-by-design! Even if it's not clearly a "Scam", it's about as fun to try as my v1 "Torture Chamber". But at least I didn't cost people money to enter.

    .
    i think i have a diffrerent idea if you agree... .I'm not going to make a prize parkour that really hard. Also, i make it just for fun but, can i make a holla food that cost just about10c to enjoy many things and event ( a day with prizes...)? Because you know... making c is really hard, and if everybody donate 10c it will be so relieving :D. Pls don't think its a payaway .and if i make it good can i submitted it to town center :D?
