The Wait Is Over! Battle of the Bands Prizes
Hey, darlins! I hope you\'ve been having a great summer since Peka-Boo ended. I was so darn sad when everything was over that I had to make myself busy doing a little charity work. I do love helping other people and making them smile, sometimes being Subeta\'s favourite starlet just isn\'t enough for me!
Anyway, back on topic. Johannes is busy back in his shop over in Veta, so I\'m here to tell you about the rewards of the Battle of the Bands competition! The prize truck is parked over in Peka Park, come visit it and you\'ll be awarded a whole bunch of different prizes, based on how you and your chosen band did during the battle! May the odds be ever in your...I mean, good job in taking part and helping to make Peka-Boo amazing!

Late to the comments but just got back from out of town and only just now saw the prizes! Thanks so much for the prizes and the event Subeta, I had a good time! My band didn't make it in, and the one I supported didn't win, but I had fun and I love my prizes! Rock On!!!

Next time there is a event like this, the entire Subeta userbaese should all vote for the same thing so we all get ALL THE THINGS.

Please re-read my original comment. I did NOT say the HnR supporters put in no effort; I actually made no reference to the effort of anyone beyond myself. I do not know all HnR supporters, so I cannot make wild assumptions on their motivations.
I can, however, state a fact: that I would have got better prizes for supporting HnR and not putting in effort, than I did for choosing a different band and putting in effort. All that means is that I, personally, one person, now realise that had I simply supported the winning band, I would have received the better prizes. I feel regret that I did not do this. I believe I am allowed to feel regret and disappointment. I also believe that I am allowed to express my feelings.
I take offence to your rudeness. I believe that your comment was directed at something you inferred from my comment; NOT something I stated or even implied. All I said was, "I feel disappointed because I don't feel the prizes I received matched up to the amount of effort I personally put into supporting the band I picked, I wish I'd picked HnR and got better ones". You then made a straw man out of this, reacting as though I had said "HnR supporters put in no effort and deserved nothing". You read into my comment, decided I meant something I did not, and then you decided to attack me for it.
The meaning you assigned to my first comment was incorrect, and as such, your personal attack on me was uncalled for.
Considering how little of my original comment you actually took the time to comprehend, it is YOURS that made no sense. I am glad to hear you were "controlling your anger and language" when you wrote that, but, unfortunately, a little blind rage slipped out in its place.
As for your repeated statement about "people like me"...well, if the alternative is being a person who makes vicious assumptions about someone they do not know and have not taken the time to understand, I think I'll just stick to me.
To quote your own good self, "Do NOT talk about things you know nothing of."

You have no idea how much I wanted an item similar to the Overgrown Ram Skull, but with different flowers. The horns are perfect.
That said, holy hell. You guys are as bad as WoW players when it comes to throwing tantrums over pixels.

As a sticker collector, I have to stand up for the other sticker collectors. So far Peka-Boo created THREE ultra rare event stickers that are nearly impossible to get. I know rare prizes are wonderful, but maybe make the sticker/plushies not as rare and replace them with wearables, books or weapons?
Stickers, plushies and beanbags all have achievements that are getting harder and harder to attain because of things like this.

The artwork on the 
Musical Menagerie Flyer is outstanding! I couldn't have asked for a better instrument! It is the most beautiful Flemish double harpsichord I have ever seen, even more pretty then the one I spilled a coke in when I was a music major in college. ( needless to say I changed majors..... ) But still Way to go Subeta Team! I love this prize!!

To clarify, I don't mean any ill will to Horns n' Roses at all. If it seemed that way in my posts, I apologize. They won fair and square and deserve the most prizes. I'm just surprised they got *everything*, including the Granny items, and that the runner-up winners didn't get nearly that much. I do appreciate the personlized Granny items, which other teams didn't get, but I was unclear what was meant by 'runners up' and I guess I was hoping it was more like 'almost a tie' rather than 'second place.' I was wrong, and that's fine, but stepping back I think the Battle of the Bands, and Peek-a-Boo, suffered from high expectations and unclear guidelines. Most of us bankrupted ourselves to buy all the items and participate in the Wishing Tree. I did that last year for the Reading Drive and it was worth it. This summer it was not worth it. Perhaps it's unfair to expect the BofBs prizes to make up for the time and effort (and sP and RL cash) we sunk into this event, but personally I was hoping for more payoff.
Anyway, congratulations to the Horns n' Roses winners. You guys did great and I'm envious, haha. ;)

I can't speak for threads in the last month(because I really only read certain threads on the forums), but this thread of comments at least doesn't read like anyone saying that. /shrug Agree to disagree, I guess.
Yeah, the winners should get more prizes. I think Horns and Roses band members deserved their prizes. However, it seems off that, hypothetically, someone who supported them and did nothing would've gotten more prizes than someone else who put a ton of effort in. Prizes on this site are generally given based on effort, so it should've been obvious that changing that pattern would've left people bitter. Just seems like yet another thing about this event that wasn't planned out well.

"No one is saying that Horns and Roses supporters didn't work for the win". That's exactly what a lot of people have been saying for about a month now, and THAT'S why I'm upset.
And like @Sitar so perfectly put it, people are missing the point that BotB was a CONTEST. In a contest the winners get more prizes than those who didn't win. That's why they're the winners.
People are just butthurt, plain and simple.

No one is saying that Horns and Roses supporters didn't work for the win. For example, I was playing from mobile at the time, so I couldn't play the game. I got two prizes for supporting a band that didn't win. Had I supported Horns and Roses I would've gotten more prizes for the same amount of effort, which just seems odd. I feel like those who put the most effort into the game should've gotten more prizes, rather than just giving out prizes based on the band you were supporting. Obviously Horns and Roses supporters would've ended up with these prizes, considering the effort put in, but those who were in other bands would've gotten a little more, too. I was a little upset before that there were prizes I missed out on because I couldn't play, but it really seems like it would've been more fair for everybody.

I don't understand all these comments about "jumping on the bandwagon" or not being "rewarded" for voting for the bands they liked. I feel as if everyone has missed the point of a contest where you vote for/support things and then one of them wins because more people voted for/supported it??
I am, however, very surprised that H&R supporters got EVERYTHING. H&R swag, sure. But I didn't expect the Granny Smith items, plushies, etc...

And it's people like you who make me want to seriously snap... REALLY controlling my anger and my language right now for the sake of Subeta's rules. Horns and Roses won because their supporters played Street Team almost until their fingers bled. What you said doesn't even make sense. Horns and Roses won BECAUSE of all the effort put into them. Do NOT talk about things you know nothing of. It's people like you, man.

I..just...I feel like a real idiot...
I picked the band I liked most, and put effort into supporting them...and it wasn't worth it at all ;-;
It's been said before, but it really sucks that I would have earned more/ better prizes by just clicking 'support' for HnR and then doing nothing to actually support them, than I did putting in that effort...
I appreciate the effort and time the staff put into events! I do. Please keep doing them, they're (usually :P) awesome. But unfortunately, I just feel as though I wasted my time participating in this one :(

After reading some of the earlier comments on this news post, I just want to say it's about time the butthurt stopped. This Horns & Roses hate is ridiculous. It's been a month; get over it. (This is not aimed at all the awesome bands who didn't win, but rather at SOME of their sore losers immature supporters). People complaining that it's not fair because they joined a band they liked instead of "the winners", I'm like, are you for real? Everyone who supported Horns & Roses did so because they liked the band, not because they were all frickin' clairvoyant and knew H&R would win. As stated before, H&R weren't even the band with the biggest amount of supporters so stop being childish about it and stop whining already.
With that off my chest, these prizes are SO awesome! <3

so after some thought and conversations with friends about this here is my feedback since it won't let me submit it:
Prizes should've been given out in a tiered setting ie;
1. Grand Prize Winner
2. Genre Winner
3. Genre Finalists
4. Participation prize for everyone who created or joined a band
5. Supporters
The granny smiths were cute, but they still came in 2nd place. As cute as the items are in real life 2nd place is still "losing". It makes it look like a small fragment of favoritism when only one "2nd" place winner was made items and the rest of the genre first place winners weren't. They were in the same category as HnR so therefore they didn't win their genre. Otherwise all the other genres should've been created a specific item as well. Heck, Make them a simple music CD with their album art. Its literally a 64x64 icon and a nice tribute to the winners of their genres that made things worth their time. Put it for sale in the music shop from time to time as a r99 so that players could eventually earn it. Also give a copy to all the supporters of that specific band. If you didn't win the genre, you don't get a CD. simple as that. Its a nice tribute for their efforts and its fair.
I'm not saying supports should've of gotten anything but I do think that those players who spent time promoting themselves, joining a band, and really trying to get out there and get supports should've been given more than a bowl of candy and a book. Maybe for those who didn't get into the finals could've been given the candy bowl and book as a "thanks for trying" effort prize and then given the 30 finalists something more... worth their time? Supporters should've been on a point system as well. I think everything by points would've been better in the long run over all because of the fact that points can't lie. They can't play favorites (in a sense) and then everyone would be able to be fairly awarded for their effort.
Then there should've been a tiered point system for street team.
Give everyone who scored 10 points a poster.
Give everyone who scored over 100 a set of wearable buttons and previous item.
next level 500 points- give them a plushie.
Finally if you scored over 1000 give the players a wearable street team game background.
It literally took me 5 minutes to come up with all of those prize ideas and they still related to the game. They could've been achievements as well since games like spectrum trails has a points system. Also, street team shouldn't of been the ONLY game to play to gain points. It wasn't a game that all players could play. Mobile users were SOL (we had quite a few supporters that were ONLY mobile)
Also, VIP members... we paid $2.50 for "exclusive items" that were tossed into the donation corner 10 minutes after it was released (by yes, nice users but hear me out) and less wait time to buy food- that was STILL 45 minutes between each purchase. None of the other shops in peka-boo were that way? Why do that? No one waits that long for food unless your Gordan Ramsey in a episode of Kitchen Nightmare! LOL. but in all seriousness I wouldn't spend the extra RL $ for VIP again. There wasn't any incentives to it and I really thought it would be more "VIP" as it was advertised. Lots of hype over it with an extreme let down for us who purchased VIP tickets.
Lets talk about the wishing shrub. Price cap it. Limit it to how many people can wish for the same item. Things got super greedy and instead of wishing for cheaper items that ALL players could afford, things were in the MILLIONS everyday hogging it all up. There are lots of newer/less wealthy users here who don't have the time to sit and quest all day long. I know people will disagree with this but it wasn't really "wishing" it was "greed hoarding". People would nab the "cheap" wishes and then ask for something that was 20mil and whine about it in the SB or on the forums when no one granted their wish. It was a good concept, but I really wish it was done differently. Maybe wishing shrub should've been random. Put a price cap (lets say 5 mil) then when you want to ask for an item you click on 'Grant a wish" and an item is randomly shown to you. if you can't grant it, then no wish (as was with this version). One wish, One grant a day. No greed, no picking and choosing. You have the whole day to grant the wish and if not it resets at the end of the night or you can cancel it, but not continue to gift all day. Its more like blind trading... wishing shrub had good intentions but bad usage- I hope it returns, but as a good way not a bad one.
This is really long but since i can't submit feedback anywhere else I thought this made the most sense.

Personally, I think some extra items should have been made for the band members in bands that made it into the final, and there should have been more prizes for those that founded a band. I'm not saying that supporters shouldn't have got the prizes they did (as the supporters put so much work into helping their bands, and it was amazing :heart:) but it feels like this could put people off making/joining a band if this event happens again, as they didn't really get any extra prizes for the extra effort of putting a group together. But that's just my opinion.
The prizes that have been made are lovely though :heart:

supporters of the Granny Apples only get two items, just like the genre winners, even though we were runners-up (practically tied with first place). I'm really unhappy that the winners get *everything* while we only get two items. I appreciate the Granny items (they're really cool!) but that just seems really unfair.

I was under the impression that people who joined bands would still get prizes? Hm, I'm a bit disappointed about that, but I didn't make too much of an effort so I guess I can't complain all that much. Still, the rules weren't particularly clear.

What prize did we get for forming a band? I thought we'd get prizes for that too. The prizes I got were lovely (the Granny Smiths items were AWESOME) but I'm disappointed that as a very close runner-up we didn't get most of the winning prizes, too. It was almost a tie, was it not? I wasn't sure what exactly you guys meant by "runner up" but I'm guessing judging by the prizes you guys meant something more like 'a distant second.'

A lot of people are disappointing over some getting super rare stuff just for supporting. Maybe next time, distribute prizes a little differently, so that others don't feel like they got the raw end of the deal?

wait, prizes for happening to support the right band because of dumb luck?
I didn't even opt to support one because I thought the people who would be rewarded were the people who, y'know, actually put the effort in. I mean whatever, I'll save up for the items myself, but does something not seem ass-backwards about this?

I'm just sad that supporters of H&R who just clicked the button to support got everything (probably not the team street score based items, but still lots of items just to click a button), while who played the game during hours to make the higher scores (and weren't on H&R or any winning band) got no plushies or flyers.
I know it'd be really hard to make lots of prize tiers like that, I really do, so I'm not really mad about this. But what made me madder was the SIX prizes for H&R, and all of them are awesome. Those wearables... 3 or 4 prizes would be enough.
But well, let's see if any kind soul put those H&R and flyers on the shops for 30m at least e_e

I'm pretty sad the band I voted for didn't win. ;w; The prizes are really nice too, aww.... oh well. I kinda flaked out on part of it so I can't really say much LOL.

Nooo, I wish I could grab the flyers and plushies. The new flyers instruments are the ones I was looking for... the DJ table and piano and mic... Just perfect D:
Also the eye compact from H&R...
I wish we could buy the items from the Cash Shop, just like in the CW contest. Even for 500CSC, I'd pay D:

To sum up, those who made it to the finals got crap while those who clicked a button to support H&R got every prize.
Of course some H&R supporters put a lot of effort, but bands which made an extra effort to look good, gather fans and also play that game just got a bowl of candy and a (not-so-exclusive) book.

I like the two wears I got.XD And damn, those Horns & Roses items are GORGEOUS. Admittedly kicking myself for not supporting H&R, but ehhhhh I barely played the game anyway.

Thanks for the prizes, but it almost seems like if next time everyone on Subeta just backs one band then everyone would get all the prizes? XC And again, thank you to Tempest Sky supporters! :heart:

I'm a bit dismayed to see so few prizes for those who actually supported a winning band. All the wait and then this. When all is said and done I'm still majorly disappointed in how Peka-Boo was handled, especially given that it was the only major event of the summer. Not cool subeta.

It would have made a TON more sense for the supporters to get like half of the roses items, and maybe let people who actually supported A band at all get some as well.

Honestly i participated hardcore in this event. Made a band, etc. YET got crap for prizes. All you have to do is follow a winning band and you get a ton more of the best wearables from the event? yea not cool. Pretty much the worst turnout for prizes from any event.

I didn't support any of the winning teams in any genre and I got a whopping total of 6 prizes. I played that dumb ass game long enough to earn the sticker so I was in whatever X top percent got it so that proves I put quite a bit of effort into this event. My effort got me next to nothing since I wasn't in a popular band. Well I guess I won't be supporting my favorite teams in any future event, looks like I'm going with the popular crowd.
I think it is a great idea to theme items around the winners and the themed ones are great. However, they should not have only been given out based on who you supported but by how much work you put into the event.

Thank you for the great prizes, as some others have commented, I think there should have been tiers for the prizes
1, the grand winning band.
2, the finalists.
3, the bands that entered.
Possibly bits for the supporters.
It was about the bands not the supporters, IMO.
Yes I was in a band and a supporter too.
Sorry I dont mean to whinge, but I know you all like free speech ;0)

I'm sorry but this prize format is ass-backwards. There's no reason why just supporting the winning band should have been rewarded more than putting in actual effort. And it just feels like a slap in the face that the "special" prizes for getting a high score were existing site items.

These are neat, but the record player and the book are the only things I'd use, so I'm glad I got that, BUT I SAW MY FRIEND GOT NO PRIZES?? She didn't support any band, but I thought we were going to get prizes just for forming bands even if we didn't win? I didn't know supporting a band was where the prizes came from. Don't we get something to acknowledge our shattered dreams? :c

So far this doesn't seem totally fair to me but idk. Like people in winning bands didn't get as many prizes as normal people who played the game for the winning team, is that right? I was so sure winners were going to get forum titles, I'm rather sad we didn't. Why didn't people in winning bands get forum titles? That was one way you could have made it really special for those people who got that far and tried so hard.

Andrea - you wouldn't get it :) bulleta has it right, it was given out to members of the finalist bands, and members of HnR and their supporters got it, because they got ALL of the prizes.

the Signed Peka-Boo Concert Pamphlet and the Peka-Boo Candy Bowl were awarded to all band members that made it to the finals! (+ the supporters of the grand champions)

Is the Vinyl a supposed to be a book, or just a toy? The item URL says botbprize_book_vinyl, but it isn't readable... I'm afraid to hold off on buying it in case staff made a mistake and change it to a book later.

Okay so what's exactly going on with the Signed Peka-Boo Concert Pamphlet and Candy Bowl? Is it JUST for the members of the finalist bands? Or them + their supporters? Or just top supporters? One comment made it sound like anyone who supported the finalist bands, and another made it sound like just the band members D|?
I didn't get it, and did support the Granny Smiths as much as I could muster (not good with the one game yo). So should I be getting it, or not? Because I don't wanna buy it only to get it shortly after D|

@Its_Just_Me - the Granny Smiths were in the Rock genre - which was also the genre that Horns and Roses were in. If we'd gone by the way of only giving the genre winners prizes, the Granny Smiths wouldn't have got anything. As it was, we saw how well they did and made them and their supporters some special items designed specifically for their band, because they impressed us so much.

I would venture to guess that the reason it took awhile to get these out is that a lot of it was created from scratch AFTER the event, with help from the winning bands. So there was a lot that they couldn't draw/code, etc. before the event ended.

Each genre winner + their supporters should have been given one of the street team plushies, and one of the flyers! (I believe Pop got the Charlie, Folk got the bumbus, Electronic got the Chai and Other got the ghostly) (The grand champions and their supporters got everything)
