Tonight the event at the ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO [redacted by google for no reason] has left many guides feeling disapointed and lied to. After inviting 3000 people to the event and allowing them to rsvp'd while telling them that they will be welcome to partake in a Google hosted event with a guest at thier side the organization is saying that only 300 people are actually welcome. I for one am now in a position where my public posts telling my friends and clients about this has left me looking like I made the whole thing up. As a man of my word who felt as if he was being rewarded for his contributions I am outraged to now find out that they are holding the event without so much as a cancelation or explanation being sent to those who were falsely invited. This is beyond irresponsible and would be seen as most by rude. Citing the language used may have been misleading then claiming that the time it takes for lawyers to come up with perfect wording is the reason they couldn't make us aware is clearly contrary to the "do no evil" mantra at Google as it intentionally built up our hopes and dreams and encouraged us to invite a guest then dropped us all off the guest list.
That I had to find this out morning of by hunting it down myself here on a discussion board while all other communication was via email is insulting. I think that these organizers have made it hard to want to keep contributing to a system that would do this to its most devoted users. I would like this addressed by a staff member at Google and feel all those who have been so poorly treated should be invited to the event or given compensation as this once in a lifetime experience being taken away from us after it was clearly stated that we were invited and had rsvp'd..... Those are things you mixed up, you didn't say it's a contest or use words like "entered to win" or "might be eligible" and I don't believe for a second that it was your intention to accept 3000 attendees and cut out 2700.this seems like human error and while I'd love to show respect and compassion you aren't showing us the same. I remain hopeful someone there will resolve the issue but otherwise I'll be specifically looking to find out who ruined all of our days today and why we have been made to feel like a bunch of losers by your methods here..... Shame on you Google... Shame
