SNOWBALL FIGHT!
Earlier today, the shopping district of Subeta was rocked by turmoil as a debate raged on between two shop owners: Tobias of the Toy Box, and Dolly of the Candy Shack. I was able to determine the source of the turmoil in my exclusive interview with Dolly this afternoon:
“Tobias thinks he’s SO cool running the toy shop, like it’s somehow BETTER than my candy shop. I mean come on, no stupid toy is ever going to be as awesome as getting a whole box of CANDY for Luminaire!â€
At this point, Tobias interjected:
“Dolly, you are the stupid one. Like candy would ever be better than toys! Candy is gone in like, 2 minutes but toys can be played with all Luminaire! “
“Pfft, your cheap toys always end up broken in 2 minutes, and then you’ve got a broken toy AND no deliciously full belly. Sorry not sorry, but candy is obviously the winner.â€
“There’s only one way we can settle this. You want to snowball fight for it?â€
“HECK YEAH I DO!â€
I bravely tried to petition for a cease snowball, but it seems that these fierce titans of industry cannot be reasoned with, though I did get them to agree to a set of rules in order to keep the frostbite at bay! As well as battling for honor, the two shopkeepers are willing to give a few prizes to those that help them out.
For participating:
• Team-themed achievement and title

• 3 retired Melody’s Cottage items

• Trow Trophy for your profile!

In addition to the participant prizes, the winning team will receive: 

• 2 retired Melody’s cottage items

• A special winter themed wearable
And that's not all! You can also win a team-themed item from your own team’s captain if you manage to throw a certain amount of snowballs over the course of the battle. The top 10% of snowball throwers from either team will also receive a special achievement and title!
To find out more and to join the fight, I’ve been informed to tell you to GO HERE!
There is also now a Luminaire forum for you to find potential targets! All Luminaire threads have been moved there, make sure to only hit members of the opposing team! Also, you can only be hit by snowballs if you choose to participate in the fight!
Who will rise victorious and who will get the cold shoulder? Only time will tell!

The team prize is currently 'Earned for having more than 0 snowballs thrown at the end.'
It was in the high thirties yesterday, and I think in the high 20s when I started. I can't imagine what mysterious process is calculating these numbers, but it seems odd to have it at all if it's going to be so indecisive

@far's first comment at the bottom (even though it doesn't ping) I've come to throw with you again.... *Or am I the only simon and garfunkel nerd on here* <3
All I can say is that the teams had been pretty well tied all this time even though it 'looked' so unfair to so many. Dolly had about 1/3 more members and threw about 1/3 more snowballs so the average was tied. Now a few days in with all this negativity and griping about teammates who are mostly trying their hardest but dealing with shortcomings (their busy RL, slower computer, moral objection to autorefreshers, lack of sp) and NOW team dolly is slipping. If I was doing my best and getting put down for it I would probably stop throwing too. TEAM spirit, if you don't like joining in/depending on others for a team event, you shouldn't have joined a team. Ragging on others who aren't doing as well as you is a recipe for disaster. How many projects/sports teams/homes can run effectively with the best members putting down everyone else and telling them they should never have joined up? Take a breath, click your pixels, cheer everyone on, and let the snowballs fall where they may! ^_^ FUN ^_^ GO TEAM TOBIAS!

I'm honestly curious: why do you care so much? Both teams get almost the exact same prizes in the end. Events such as these may have what people see as "unfair" but that's to be expected. Both teams have slackers and both teams will have those who throw an inordinate amount of snowballs.
Also, your solutions don't seem fair. By counting the top 1500 throwers (which is pretty much all of team tobias, so you are giving that team an advantage, and I assume you are in dolly... I don't think you would like that), you are discounting the efforts of everybody else in the team, which also defeats the purpose of the team itself. The average is the best compromise, because if it was based off the amount of snowballs thrown, everybody may as well have agreed to join one team and not join the other, and there would be no competition because everybody wins.

It would make FAR more sense to either score based on the top 1500 throwers for each team, or just bloody well count every single snowball thrown. This average crap is ridiculous. X( No, no one should be forced to participate if they don't want to, or "have a life outside the game", but neither should those spending as much time and SP on this be forced into getting dragged down because some people joined just for the free items and don't want to participate in the throwing.

And now the number of members for each team is back down to a reasonable number. The main page for this event is confusing as it keeps changing quite drastically. At one point this morning it showed over 10k people on one team and over 8k people on the other team...there aren't even that many active players on site I'm pretty sure.
Whatevs. I'm still chucking away :)

I don't understand how team Dolly has so many more snowballs thrown yet we are losing. Scoring makes no sense to me what so ever

The numbers are all squished on the screen now, but it looks like Team Toys now has 5000 more members than Team Candy...that can't be right. Can it?

Sarens attitude is exactly why I hate community steps - I agree with everything you said BTW. Nobody should have to do anything or be forced to participate if they don't want too...but then people like me who DO want to participate and want to participate hard, shouldn't have to be stuck in a group with you being dragged down while you harp on about 'just because I have a life...' bla bla bla
If you have a life, great! Go live it! Why even join the team - because these pointless pixels are not srs bsns yo!

40K snowballs thrown by some people?!? Wow. I'm already tired of throwing them clicking over and over and don't even have 2K yet. Then again I work full time so don't have 24/7 to sit at the computer clicking for hours. While this game is fun I'm hoping it ends within the next couple days so I can go back to throwing snowballs at friends.

Dear fellow team members,
I am sooo done with the snowballs. Sorry I hung in as long as I could. Good luck to all.

While I was enjoying the snowball fight, I disagree with the scoring. I'm putting sP into this and have thrown over 1000 snowballs for my team. Yet my score is less than it was this morning (338). Thanks to this scoring system you've created, I feel this 'fight' is now a virtual waste of time and resources.

Sorry to disappoint the people complaining about "dead weight," but there are some people here who are grown-ups with things to do during the day (and some of us work most of the night, too - especially this time of the year.)
There are players who don't run auto-refreshers, who have to click, and click, and click, and click for each individual snowball thrown, and that's not JUST incredibly boring: if you have a repetitive stress injury like I do, it gets painful after about ten or fifteen snowballs, and you need to stop for a little while to let it subside. If your JOB already involves a lot of small, repetitive motions (i.e. making jewelry, art, handicrafts, etc,) and you're already -tender-, then all those pauses add up fast. And no, people in that position don't HAVE to push themselves and risk more severe pain and potentially further INJURY just to satisfy your INTERWEB GAMES IS SRS BZNS drive.
And on the subject of auto-refreshers? Not only are those CHEATING, but a lot of people aren't playing on machines capable of running them. Again, I'm not going to risk something in REAL LIFE (i.e. my computer) just to make someone happy online.
And some people? Might just be Subeta-poor, or dedicating a substantial chunk of SP to Luminaire gifts, and playing as their personal finances allow.
So chill the frag out, and respect that a lot of people don't have the physical, mental, financial, and/or technical ability or drive to do something as SRS BZNS as throwing digital snowballs ALL DAY LONG (or programming/installing a cheat bot to do it for them.)

Sorry...that was really whiney. I should also say that I am loving seeing the complete snowball bombed HAs everyone is sporting because I find them hilarious. I am also enjoying seeing usernames I have never seen before when I use the random opponent option. We have some very creative users and some with a wicked sense of humor :)
I am liking the event...I was just dismayed to find out how pitiful my efforts have been in comparison to several others. It's ok though...I'm still enjoying the concept :)

Holy crap! There are people who have thrown over 5k snowballs already? JFC! Why am I bothering? With numbers like that, there is no way I will ever come anywhere close to the top 10% unless I download an auto refresher. Even then, I don't see how after not throwing thousands these first two days I would ever catch up.
Sigh.
I have a question though...do the snowballs that we throw that are "deflected" by someone wearing the shield count towards our amount thrown or are those a complete waste?

@LucidDreams Your not dragging me down sweetie don't worry :heart: You threw 200, that's still a lot and honestly it is frickin boring as heck and it IS the busiest time of year, so I don't blame people really...I'm just frustrated, I hate community steps because I hate having to rely on other people and don't want to put pressure on anyone *lone warrior* xD

I liked it better when it was just the cumulative score for events like these. At least if you did participate you could do so at your leisure and to the extent you desired instead of basically being forced to participate because otherwise you'd be a deadweight. I don't mean to damper anyone's spirits but I'm at the point where I'm wishing there was a retire option so I didn't have to participate anymore. It'd be nice if there was something like that maybe your final score is still counted but you'd be considered a 'retired' member and not be counted in the average. That way people who want to throw what they want can, leave, and allow others to continue as they please without causing frustration. xD Just my two cents.

StarShadow
I work full time so it will be difficult for me to fire thousands of snowballs like some are apparently doing and the time I am on Subeta I need to do quests and other stuff. But I'm trying. I've thrown well over a thousand so far. Hope this ends by end of this week so we have time for other stuff. And I can't throw snowballs at my friends until this is over. Also hope they give us a day's warning so we can use up what snowballs we have left.

@Illyria Yeah personal scores definitely should count for more than just the achievement and title! I'm sorry I'm dragging you down hun, I'm usually a fan of competitive team things but the timing of this is just crappy for me; when I get here I just want to relax and finish my Luminaire shopping rather than mindlessly refreshing a page. x_x
I agree with whoever said that there should be a way to opt out. But then again I don't think it's fair that some people shouldn't be allowed to join and get the cute trophy/team item just because they can't throw 500+ snowballs or whatever people expect everyone to throw. I've always liked that Subeta is more relaxed with events and you don't have to play all day everyday to keep up.

@LucidDreams True xD
Then I think it should have been total snowballs thrown or our own personal scores because honestly, when your bunched into a team that really, you didn't create...you can't exactly force them to participate if they don't want too (and whether they want to or not is up to them - no one should be forced)
Now I like to think that I'm not a bi**h but things like this do bring out a bit of an ugly side because I'm quite competitive and don't like losing....well its out of my hands when I'm stuck on a team with people I didn't choose to be with...if that makes sense?
We've thrown nearly twice as many as snowballs as tobias but we're still losing because people are joining and throwing like one snowball or something, yes I'm annoyed because of this because I feel like I'm working hard on it but it doesn't matter, what I'm doing isn't even making a difference because a lot of people are doing nothing.
Its like your fate is in other peoples hands...and it sucks butt xD

Even if people couldn't see which team was winning, more people would probably join Dolly because more people on this site like the girly cutesy stuff. That was the point I was trying to make earlier- not everyone is joining the team just because they think it's winning.
@Illyria (Idk why I put pings here as I know they don't work lol!) If sign-ups were closed after 24 hours we'd probably be doing even worse now. From what I saw most people hopped onto Dolly's side within the first day. ^-^;
"There are going to be people on BOTH teams who don't "pull their weight." And there are going to be people on BOTH teams who spend hours refreshing. And there are going to be people on BOTH teams who join whatever team they think will win and not contribute. Or DO contribute. Just because one team has more or less people doesn't mean they do or don't "deserve" to win, yeah? Both teams are being super hardworking, yeah?"
^I couldn't agree more. ^-^ Although I would be happy if Tobias' team won just because I don't see them spending their time bitching at their own teammates on the forums/in news posts. Maybe that's why they're winning lol! The member counts aren't even that far apart now.

I would suggest a side plot for extra points. or coli challengers with points that tally towards the event.
It's day two and because of the 5 second rule I'm getting really bored of throwing. managed 5K yesterday but only 500 today and not sure if I can keep going like this over the weekend ;u;

Or you could give people 24/48 hours to join a team before the event even starts and then close sign ups...that way, people won't just join because the team looks like it's winning...
Not online for 48 hours? Too bad
But honestly I think this should have been done either overall snowballs thrown or personal snowballs thrown because it's hard not too be bitter at the dead weight when your arm is falling off from trying.

Don't know if it's having issues, though, cuz I've been practically skinned by snowballs, and the little piggy icon isn't budging

How about next time we have an event like this aka teams, we not let anyone just pick either team. Put in place a feature where you can only join a team if the other has more or the same members. That way we avoid everyone piling onto one side because its winning at that second or just has more members. Keeps it even and prevents freeloading bullshit like this

kittykitten, there isn't, sorry! i don't imagine it will be a function they will look to include, either. while it is a bit tedious (i should know, i've been on the page for hours sending out hundreds of snowballs since i got on this morning) to throw them individually, that is somewhat the essence of the event.
i'm already quite surprised but pleased that they added a bundle purchase function for the snowballs, as well as some of the other smaller things they added along the way (random target, for example). i can't even imagine the impact on the score and server load there might be if over 500 people were throwing 100 snowballs at a time. yikes. my wrist is cramping too, haha. make sure not to make anyone too angry. the team appreciates your effort!
also even though this needs a little more tweaking i think to even everything out and make it fair and square, i'm really glad to see staff taking a proactive role in tinkering with things/events so they're funner for the people actually participating in them. always happy to see when people don't shy away from catering to the crowd who is putting in effort and not just the entire user base. gonna try to do at least 50 to 100 snowballs a day, even with work. candy WILL win.

Maybe this is a lame question but is their any way at all to 'mass' throw the snow balls? My wrist fingers are killing me and brother is getting annoyed cause I'm hogging the computer - Like a-lot XD

Not sure how the points are working out but I'm so damned glad to see it's not just a case of join the most popular team crap again. I've thrown a few hundred. Curious to see how long this is going to last... Day 1 and I'm pretty much bored and honestly know there isn't a point into sinking hundreds more for that top 10 because of auto clickers/peeps with no lives. (Love you though) Would also like to know about how the Freeloader thing is working. Is that done per day? Some days I'm busy and I'm going to be pretty upset if I get kicked off some other day because I had doctor's appointments or something.

Okay two things.
1) I dont know if I missed this announcement or if it was never made but: WHEN DOES THIS END? Does it go until the end of the month? end of the week? until the 25th? When please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top please, tell me when.
and
2) Do you think 11,540 is enough to be in the top 10% when it ends or do I need to keep going? 'cause i'm now bored and tired and Dolly probably isnt going to win because of the throw-no/one-snowball members so there really isn't any point to me trying more than i have already unless it's to get in the top 10% ugh.

All of the complainers make this event less fun, sighs.
But honestly? There are going to be people on BOTH teams who don't "pull their weight." And there are going to be people on BOTH teams who spend hours refreshing. And there are going to be people on BOTH teams who join whatever team they think will win and not contribute. Or DO contribute. Just because one team has more or less people doesn't mean they do or don't "deserve" to win, yeah? Both teams are being super hardworking, yeah?

I think it would be interesting if you could only get the prize if you throw more than the other teams avg. this way more people would be more competitive.

"if you like the item, good for you go buy it after the fact or something? don't ruin the whole event for someone else"
The only people ruining this "event" are those with attitudes like yours. It took me a while to throw 200 snowballs; unlike what seems like a huge amount of people in this event, I'm not running an auto-refresher or anything like that. I found the snowball-throwing to be tedious, and if I'd know that was all there was to the event believe me, I wouldn't have bothered participating.
This all just brings back memories of Neopets' altador cup, and all of the taunts of "Freeloader" that those who didn't want to play all day would get. You all need to grow up. Not everybody is going to play the game to the extent that you expect them to.

As much fun as this is I hope it doesn't last until Xmas because there are other people I want to snowball. Right now the only friend I can hit is on my team. :(
I also hope they give us warning before it ends so we can use up our snowballs instead of being stuck with tons of them when the fight is over and seeing the prices plummet.

@LucidDreams
in my opinion, if you're not going to participate in the event - either wait until the end to join, or don't join at all? first of all, you can't even get the necklace without throwing a certain amount of snowballs, so if they're joining and not even trying, then they're not getting the prize they 'joined for'. and because the number of snowballs needing to be thrown for the prize increases with the amount of snowballs being thrown, they will have to continue to add to their total until the end. so if you are a 'deadbeat' user, you are doing literally nothing for the team or yourself.
you're not supposed to join the team because 'candy is cute' or 'bright pastel colors' or 'boys have cooties'. you join because you want to help your team WIN an event. no one here, no matter what you want to believe, is going to join an event and spend 2-3 hours throwing snowballs because they 'don't mind losing'. i've thrown over 300, and i'll continue to throw them, but you can bet i'm annoyed that our team is working their butt off for people who are doing nothing and just waiting to mooch off whatever prizes we get. which will be very few, thanks to said people.
i don't think the teams should be closed. i think, like other users have mentioned and said may have even been implemented, i think deadbeats should be kicked off the team. i think if you haven't thrown an average of a certain amount of snowballs a day, you need to be off the team. unless keith is interested in changing the ENTIRE way this is calculated, that's the only fair thing to do. also, i'm not sure you're understanding how the event works or is calculated?
dolly's team has to throw nearly 3x the amount of snowballs as tobias' to gain even a point. scoring is done by amount of snowballs thrown vs amount of team members. their members are actively participating, and the few on our team who are actually trying (and have been for HOURS) just can't compete with that. i'm not saying they don't deserve to win, but they're obviously not putting in more effort, you're just not paying attention.

okay well just gonna point out the fact that this is an event intended to be fun but still an event
events require participation
if you like the item, good for you go buy it after the fact or something? don't ruin the whole event for someone else - i don't really see anything wrong with everyone's JUSTIFIED attitudes
because if you've looked below/at how things are calculated, tobias' team has to do im pretty sure literally half of what we've had to to be even close so no, they dont really "deserve" to win just sayin'

was super excited for this once it was posted - and actually, still a bit excited. just a little disappointed that people are jumping onto dolly's team for a free win and not pulling their weight. some of us are getting cramps in our fingers and wrists and draining our SP for this, and some people haven't even thrown a single snowball? *rolls eyes* whatever. they can be grinches if they want. hope to still get some good stuff out of this even, even if our team loses.

Who cares bout all dat drama? It's like a food fight in the cafeteria, but better! :D Especially for those of us with no RL snow, this is AWESOME!!!!!!
That being said: dude. Toys. So obviously toys. I still have RL trows from when I was eight. While I enjoy candy (probably significantly more than the average person, given the number of cavities over the years), there's just no comparison. TEAM TOBIAS FTW!!!!!!! :D

Lmao at these attitudes. "dead beats"...have you considered that maybe more people are joining Dolly's team because more of us like cutesy pastel-coloured candy stuff? I know I joined because I preferred the cute little necklace to Tobias' toy. And to suggest that the team should be closed so that we can catch up is ridiculous; Tobias' team deserve to win, they're obviously putting more effort into it, end of story.
I think a lot of these people are so pissed off because *they* joined the team that they thought was going to win and now it isn't looking so good for us. xD
Lol at hipster's gif, I hadn't even noticed the troll doll trophy! I'm glad I participated just for that now haha.

well, I said... without a warning said it doesn't matter the amount of members/snowballs thrown, but the average snowballs thrown per person, there'll be a lot of freeloaders on the candy team.
But with the timing between snowballs, and now with the prevent of refreshing the page, it'll discourage people to keep throwing. I'm glad I thrown 3k balls before the hash thing lel

Honestly I feel like the candy team should be closed for new members for a while to let the team numbers even out. It's highly unclear who's winning so dead beats keep joining the candy team thinking "I'll get a free win!" and dragging it down more. Honestly with the fact that team candy has nearly 2x as many members I don't think it'd be unreasonable to have it closed until they are about even in numbers lol. Right now it looks pretty pointless to keep throwing, because even though people are way over the average the snowballs the high scores are tossing basically count for nothing, because we have so many members lol.
2
LucidDreams
@jnerraw It looks like the points are figured out by taking the number of snowballs thrown, and dividing that by the number of team members. So we're losing as not all of our team members are throwing many snowballs (myself included; I've thrown 200 but I just can't bring myself to throw any more, it's so unbelievably boring just refreshing that page and the 5 second time limit between throws has made it even worse. Due to the attitudes towards people who have thrown -500 snowballs, I wish I'd never bothered participating. Merry Christmas everyone! :/ )
2
MythLore
The 5 second between throws thing is seriously messing me up. We're already 14 points behind and it's like pulling teeth now to actually get a decent amount of snowballs thrown to make up for the ridiculous amounts of people on our team not doing anything. -_-

This is fun! Luckily I have fast internet so I have been actually ending up throwing them too fast :/ but sometimes the site has gone down, whatevs there are hundreds of people pelting virtual snowballs at each other every second so I would assume there would be some issues. Hopefully this little fight won't last too long because of that. Still fun though! Go team Dolly!

If we implement punishments for "deadweight" members, it will also unfairly affect those who have slow internet. I'm trying my best to throw snowballs but with every refresh it seems the site crashes. It makes my computer go slow so I just leave the window and everytime I come back, it's still lagging.

If you buy a bunch of the same snowball, you can just refresh the page after you click the button to throw at a random opponent. You don't have to go back and forth that way.

For people with slower connections/computers, 100 snowballs would be closer to an hour. That's why I suggested earlier to take out the "throw a snowball at a random person" page and just make it throw at a random person when you click the snowball. That would help with the lag a lot.
More pages refreshing, means slower load times.

I don't think it matters that much if people join, but do not throw snowballs - while the team might have to make up for them, in the end the opposing team will also have members like that.
And even if they just joined for the heck of it - the more people joined, the more people you can hit with your snowballs! :D

Well I'm not going to take back what I said about dead weight :) When it comes to a team effort like this, people who join and sit on their ass the entire time actually ARE dead weight. The buying and throwing process is very easy, there's no excuse why you can't throw even one snowball.

Kinda sucks that people are joining teams just to do nothing at all. Especially when you can easily throw snowballs at random people and buy stacks of 50 snowballs for 12,5k sP each stack so it isn't even expensive. They will even count towards the achievments. .__.

It would probably speed things up just a bit if when we clicked a snowball it automatically hit a random member of the other team, instead of having to load another page.
1.Click snowball
2.You hit So and So!
3.Go back to snowball page
-Instead of-
1.Click Snowball
2.Go to random user page
3.You hit So and So!
4.Go back to snowball page
I'm sure there are people who like the individual one but I think for the event it would be better not to have to load more pages than absolutely necessary.
Thank you for letting us buy multiple snowballs though, that helps and speeds things up considerably.

(I joined cause I preferred the necklace to the sled...) She's gonna get the people looking for an easy win who throw maybe 2 snowballs, which means her side's average will be ruined.
I've already thrown at least 30, but now I kind of wish I'd sided with Tobias. Damn it. That special secret sauce better be strong...

Wait wait wait. Dolly's team has more members AND more snowballs throw, yet still has a lesser score.
Something doesn't add up here.

I like how it's not showing up in my event bar anymore but as a bar on the top of your page. Thanks!

Love this, but it would be nice to not get an event everytime you get hit. That's going to clog stuff up and may make us miss other pings. Otherwise, this is fun!

This is great because it also counts towards the Throw A Snowball achievement. :D

This is great :D Since I can't throw snowballs IRL... If we DO get snow, it's more like ice. >_>

Is the total score averaged by snowball/members or is it from the raw score? Otherwise why even join the team that has less members since it's so much likelier to lose?

Sounds like fun.
I am a bit confused that they're arguing over Lumieve, though. It's established in the bit of lore that Subeta has that Lumineve is for feasting, and Luminaire is for presents.

NOTE: This means you can only get hit by snowballs if you've joined a team. If you choose not to participate, you cannot be hit with snowballs.
