Hello everyone!

I think the competition is good in and of itself, but unfortunately nobody sticks to the rules. It should be an unfulfilled childhood wish, not an iPhone or an LCD TV.
I think it's cheeky that users like Sandra F. from Hinwil submit around 15 wishes.
Why aren't the wishes sorted out here?
There is also too little information about the competition itself, how exactly does the whole thing work? Can I click on my own wish 300 times at home and get 300 votes? A little more transparency and a little more monitoring would be great. Otherwise you don't have to call the competition that.
There are enough "honest" unfulfilled childhood wishes on the site.
It also annoys me when I click through the gallery, every second wish is a top modern item.

It's a real shame.

Hello Lady Avalon,

As far as top modern wishes are concerned, I agree with you... It's actually impossible that 10,20,30... years ago, or that Justin Bieber was already alive *loL* It's a shame that many people have obviously "misunderstood".

"About the competition

Participants can submit a wish from November 1, 2011. All wishes will be put to an online vote. Two wishes will be compared with each other in the voting. The user decides which wish they prefer. A ranking list is determined from these pairings. All users can take part in the voting. Participation in the competition is not a prerequisite. A daily winner will be determined from all the wishes every day from December 1, 2011 (11.59 pm) until December 24, 2011 (11.59 pm). The daily winners will be informed on the microsite the following day"

I think Migros will then choose the daily winner from the ranking list? - I think so ;)

PS: @ Migipedia, I don't want to be clever ;o) but Migros is spelled wrong:

"The daily winners will be informed the following day on the **microsite"

PS: I don't know if you can click 100x on your own wish. It works, but I'm sure it's prevented by an IP block, so that all your clicks are counted.

Yes! Then I'm not the only one! Unfulfilled children's wishes??? Cars, laptops, Ipods, Iphones, Tv, vacations in the Caribbean.....etc!?!??
Hello? Who wished for something like that as a child? I think it's a real shame, because the idea would be great! :-) I also think it's a shame that Migros has accepted this and now only wishes like this are being fulfilled.....schade

"Microsite" is correct. This is the name given to "small sub-websites", which usually consist of just one page and describe or market a specific product.

Bypassing an IP block is also easy. There are programs that simply switch the router on/off and assign a new IP address.

Hello Aldi,

Ok, I've learned something new... Thanks :)

I know that you can bypass the IP block. Nevertheless, I hope that only a few people use it.... Besides, in this day and age of Facebook and co, where you have 1000 friends and ask everyone for a click, you can get a bunch of votes together in no time anyway.

Hello everyone,

It is not the absolute clicks that are decisive for winning, but the ranking points that are calculated from the comparisons. The ELO points are used to calculate the ranking.

These take into account the results of the "matches" (confrontations) in our voting. You receive more points if you win against a stronger opponent and lose fewer points if you lose against a stronger opponent. A similar system is used to determine the ranking in chess or table tennis.

The system is also constantly monitored for technical manipulation. If, for example, a user suddenly has a large number of votes from the same IP, we notice this relatively quickly.

Best wishes and happy holidays,
Sabine from the Migipedia team

But the same prizes always win. As I have already written, it is certainly an advantage for Migros if they only have to give away electrical appliances. It's the cheapest.
I misunderstood the competition right from the start. Dear Migros, please explain better next time. Even after reading your explanation, ELO points etc. mean nothing to me as a layman.
Will be ready tomorrow.

I also didn't like the fact that childhood wishes are fulfilled that didn't exist when the wisher was a child

those who don't have a real childhood wish don't have to take part

The development that this actually good idea has taken was/is a real shame. Amongst all the latest gadgets, current status and lifestyle symbols, there would have been various dreams that have existed since childhood, the fulfillment of which would have meant so much less "effort" than in the case of the majority of needs, some of which are wish list-like...

I'm so happy right now. I'm not the only one who was annoyed by this competition. I even wrote an e-mail to Migros at the time. The reply wasn't long in coming, but it wasn't really satisfactory. "They will look into the matter". A gentleman from Bern (I think) asked countless times for a mannequin, stomach bread and other things. He probably thought he was particularly funny. The wishes that were won were for the most part not childhood wishes but "status symbols".
