Snowball Fight
I hope you\'ve been having fun in the Snowball Fight, but all good things must come to an end! Dolly and Tobias have agreed to end the fight on December 25th when presents start to go out! Keep fighting for your team and good luck!

OMG there's just no way I can do this for 4 more days. It was fun at first but now more like torture and interfering with other Subeta things I need to do. Midnight tonight is when I'm giving up. Sorry team.

I was kinda hoping it would end on Sunday night / Monday morning, but at least it's not until new years.
It was ok the first day, but now it's tedious. Throw snowball, wait 5 seconds, throw snowball, wait 5 seconds, ... Fun.

I really enjoyed the snowball fight (even the snowball pileup after two hours) and I would love for it to come back next year.
But, then make it last 3-4 days. Short enough to stay fun, but long enough for people to catch up if they've missed a day

Scoring is based on average between snowballs thrown by a team and the number of people on that team.
The number of snowballs necessary for the item is also based on averaging, its intended to prevent freeloading. You have to stay ahead of that number to get the item, which means you have to keep trowing throughout. Unless you're well ahead of that number.

Okay comments. Work right.
So what I don't get is the scoring.
The candy team has thrown 1 million more (give or take) and yet my team is ahead in points?
And why does the prize count snowball keep changing?!
It moves up and down, so I don't know if I can stop throwing and still get a prize or not.
Someone explain?

I have to say I'm a bit sad the snowballs disappear so quickly now, I love 'em! Used to throw them at my own HA just for the fun of seeing the result :)

OH come on dollies, don't give up now. :( We are already pulling so much weight. We can't have the main contributors give up now!! I can't wait until this event is over. It was fun for the first day and that was it.

Thursday still seems way too long. Four and a half more days is still ridiculously long.
But bright side - at least it's not the 31st.

I don't really care about my HA being piled on with snow but this constant refreshing is difficult and taking time away from other Subeta stuff. I usually give friends WL presents as wrapped presents but haven't even had a chance to look at their WLs.

I'm trying to keep going but holy crap. It's so intense because there is no time-limit like dancing, flowering, etc. Just keep going and going and going....

I, for one, thought all the snowballs on the HAs were great! Sorry to see them going away faster because of those so concerned with their "virtual looks." Thank you for the event - it is super fun! *flings more snow at Team Dolly*

This is fun for the first 20 minutes, but then it gets really annoying -.-
I wish I hadn't joined a team, because I like seeing my HA's face.
Can't wait till it ends

Ugh, I am so tired of sitting & refreshing over & over for days. There's no way I can keep this up for 5 more days. Sorry team. :(

I'm one of the only ones glad for it a little longer? I'm really busy this weekend so I'm grateful for a few weekdays.

Keith, two hours was torture. We were all starting to look like walking heaps of terrifying snow. This? Much much much better. I am enjoying the fight. WISHING Dolly would pick it up a notch. But hey, it's all good fun. :)

But if you've joined a team there is no option to stop getting hit by snowballs. Unless you can make the shield 100% effective. I would love for this to end tomorrow night.

Persoanally, I redesigned my HA around the snowballs to really get into the swing of it!

Predator - That's exactly what we expected. Users asked for a way to opt out of snowballs, and we provided it. You can only be hit if you joined a team. If you dont want to deal with snowballs, you don't have to play :)

It's much better now that snowballs disappear after a few minutes. I'm okay with it continuing on until the end of the month as long as my HA is somewhat visable.

Lol i'm happy there's an end in sight for the fight but I've actually been enjoying how the HA's look with all the snow

Glad to hear snowball Armageddon isn't going to roll over Christmas.
I think this event is actually starting to make me avoid Subeta, because I feel like when I'm here I should be constantly interrupting myself to click at my snowball tab, which is not a fun or relaxing way to play the site.

I was hoping tomorrow would be the last day. :( It's only fun to throw snowballs when it's with friends. Not this constant refresh, refresh, refresh, buy more, refresh... Now I've see why some are using auto-refreshers.
Now, thank you for reducing the snowballs staying on HAs time. Snowball vomit was too much.

If you are going to make it so long you guys should take away the buy 25 function since there's already thousands and thousands that have been bought and will mess up the site later =/.

Well these little brats will be getting coal in their stockings, that's for sure.

Why not make the snowball shield 100% while you're at it? People want to be pretty for the holidays and it's seriously unfair of you to expect people not to take part in the event if they want to stay clean. [That's like never letting people lave the house because of the dirt outside.]
I've also made it so that snowballs stay on the avatars for wayyyyyy less time than 2 hours (why?!)

Agree with just about everybody else, 5 more days is too long. Everybody is getting tired of clicking and clicking and clicking. It would be nice to end tomorrow night so we could dress up our HAs for the holidays and throw snowballs at someone other than opposing team members.

Now if you could only get rid of the 5 second wait or put it down to 3, that would be awesome. Thank you for letting us know when it ends though!

"I hope you've been having fun in the Snowball Fight"
Not really.
Well, at first I was excited to read the first line, but then I realized it still lasts for 5 days. Boring.

Sweet mother of Shinwa, the snowball fight is dying down. All these snowballs in our faces is mighty annoying.

I was excited thinking it was ending today haha. Ah well, at least my holiday HA will be able to be seen on Christmas.

I wish it'd be sooner! Man I'm tired of not being able to see HAs anymore. I had so many festive ideas for the season that I had to cancel!
But it at least gives me more time to throw some more snowballs.

Five more days of this still seems like a lot, but that's definitely better than lasting till the end of the month.

Oh good! I was afraid with all the bitching that they would end it this weekend and I wouldn't be able to hit my goal of 5000 thrown.

Phew! Not that I don't enjoy flinging planets and rocketships at people, but it's nice to have a definite end date. And I look forward to seeing my avatar's face again haha.

Thank you for letting us know, Keith! I would have liked it to be ended tomorrow so we can wear our pretty Luminaire outfits once again. :-)
In Europe, 24th as Christmas Eve is the biggest feast day and I want to have a beautiful avatar then. :-)
It´s fun, throwing the snowballs, yet another 5 days, wow, that´s a Guiness record snowball fight! :-)

Thank you for letting us know when this ends! It has been fun.
I am pretty sure my avi has some frostbit though under all the snow I have been getting hit with!

That and my poor kitty keeps getting a snowball thrown at her. Look at her sad snowball face! Look at it!

Yes, I designed a holiday HA for once, I would appreciate it if it can be seen for more than a millisecond. :D

Aw crap. I was hoping it would end this weekend. Now I can't throw snowballs at any of my friends as I always do on Xmas Eve. Darn. And I'm tired of clicking fire snowball over & over. I think most people are, so surprised they're going 5 more days. Ugh.
