Childrens Week Confusion

Children's week was between the 2nd - 9th of May. During this time frame I attempted to acquire the meta achievement [For the Children]. I started getting the achievements a little late unfortunately; I only got my orphan whistle on about the 6th or 7th of May.

But pleasantly surprised; I found that the whistle lasted 7 days! Thus I only assumed that the time I had permitted to complete the [School of Hard Knocks] achievement would end when the whistle disappeared some time on the 13th or 14th of May.

Unlike many other world event items like [Midsummer Sausage] which actually state "requires midsummer fire festival" the orphan whistle only stated how many days were left before it expired.

Having pleanty of days left, I did all the children's week achievments before the 9th and left the school of hard knocks until after, because I knew I would have time because the whistle was still going to be there..

So I set off and started assaulting and capturing flags etc for the achievement, and when I finished - I did not get the achievement.


I am very disappointed that you would allow me to keep the whistle but forbid me from getting the achievement when all the achievement stated to be done to get it, I did.

Is it possible to still grant me this achievement because of the fact that it was very misleading, and that I WOULD have otherwise done it sooner if I had know.

While I can understand your frustration, and I am sorry if there was any misunderstanding on the mechanics of this, this isn't a request that is going to be granted, Zole.
