Reading Drive Prizes!
Alexander and Archie would like to thank everyone who participated in the reading drive! They are both quite happy with the number of books they received, and are looking forward to passing them on to Subeta\'s youth!
They spent all night making sure that everyone\'s points were in order, and now that they\'ve finished, they are happy to announce that the Reading Drive Shop is open! The shop is full of items both new and old, and our resident A-Team is certain you\'ll find something you like. You got 2 points for each book turned in, 1 point for each quest you completed, and 10 points for each day of the scavenger hunt you completed.
Happy shopping, everyone!

Thanks PoeticEnigma! I wasn't sure if I should file a ticket...I'll wait now so as not to bombard staff.
I filed a ticket about the points issue and the UA is looking into it! I'll post when I find out what they find out :)
Pretty nice stuff on the store. At last I can get more items than the last reading drive :)
If the points aren't correct I think I will wait to buy anything in the shop until it's straightened out. Just glancing I didn't see anything I wanted badly anyway.
I'm a little confused. I had 702 books turned in. that times 2 = 1404
Then I had 304 points for quests and that makes it 1709
I did the quests and got all of the pages...
so why do I only have 1709 points? Shouldn't I have points for the page quest thing?

Either the reading drive page had inaccurate points listed from Alexander last night or I'm missing a bunch of points. Trust...I just did the math and it does not add up to what the prize shop says I have.
So how is the proper way to calculate? I see people posting stuff totally different from what is stated in the news.
And all the prizes from last year are there too! :D Thanks! I NEEDED some of 'em for some pets' TC's!
I would have participated more, but the shop wasn't counting my points (they are showing now).
I was like basically, what's the point if they aren't even going to record my points?

I know there was a lot of complaining about this event, but I enjoyed it! I'm glad to hear there won't be another reading drive in the future, though... less drama, please! :) It is good to know that Keith & everyone on the Subeta Team are really trying to make events fun & entertaining. Thanks for the hard work!
Points breakdown on the RD page till you could submit books :
one point per book ,
one point per library quest ,
five points for each missing page returned during the scavenger hunt .
Your spending points are 2x your book turned in plus 2x the no of scavenger quests you have done (five points per quest) plus your library quest no .
Do your own math .

Nope not miscalculating. Too many are missing points for that ;) Books I turned in (150) Quest completed (251) and Scavanger Hunt was (7)
You got 2 points for each book turned in, 1 point for each quest you completed, and 10 points for each day of the scavenger hunt you completed
(2*150)+251+(7*10)=621
While my points in shop are 551 which would be the amount from just books and quest help.

I'm sure I have all my points, I just don't have enough...too many things to buy; I can't decide if I want to read to my pet or dress up my HA!
..On the other hand, I feel bad for complaining because there are SO MANY beautiful items and I've gotten my bookworm pet Wemberly so many new books to write. The Pemberley letter set almost has her name too!
So I'm um, half-excited and half-bummed, or something.

I'm bummed that the items are so expensive, given that I spent a lot of SP on the scavenger hunt and buying expensive books. I have almost no SP left, but only got 450 points.
I'm hoping there will be additional points, as it seems everyone's missing something.
The items in the shop are awesome. I just wish they were a bit cheaper.

Typical.. The Reading Drive comes but once a year, the shop fills with things I want and references to things I love- so much Discworld! Elric of Melnibone!- and I just HAVE to go on holiday to a place with no internet... Oh well. At least the cheap stuff'll be in the shops soon.
I think people are just miscalculating. The points that you saw earlier for the hunt + quests, were already calculated as described above. So you only have to multiply your books by 2, and then add the number of points you had for the hunt + quests.
At least my points are correct. I got 400 books turned in, and I had 250 hunt + quest points, so I have (400*2)+250 points = 1050 points.
And thanks for this! I was really not sure about spending millions and millions on getting to 400 books to turn in, but the prize shop is definitely worth it. I'll even finally be able to buy some things from the previous years that have been on my wishlist for ages!

I got most of what I wanted. :) The rest I can get next year! Thanks for the great event (minus the server errors)!
The Living Dummy! The lightening filled globe! The Odd Apple!! Awesome!! Thanks for the great stuff!
Holy poop on a stick... a Giver reference. That series is my ultimate favorite of everything. Not only a reference.. but a gorgeous one at that. I love you right now person who made this happen.
I have an odd feeling that my points are off by a little, too. But I can't remember exactly how many quests I did.
Thanks for pricing everything so fairly - I can't get absolutely everything I want, but that's because I really wanted the Reviver of the Lion (I'm going to be able to beat a lot more challengers that way, I think!) and that took a lot of points, which is only fair. And I'll probably be able to buy some of the smaller things later.
ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE RAT ITEMS

Omg, I am love love loving all these literary references. You guys are so clever. Thank you!
Hmm I think my points are off. I turned in 298 books and had over 200 quests plus everyday scav done. My points are about 30 points off from what I should have. :(
