Snowball Fight Prizes
Dolly and I have finally put together all the prizes for our snowball fight. It wasn’t easy getting all the random melody items together, but we did it!
Are you curious to see what you got? Make sure to visit us to get your goods! You’ll be given your participation prizes, your team prizes if you threw enough snowballs, your super cool trow trophy, and if you were on my team you’ll get a cool winter background! The top 10% snowball throwers also will be awarded their cool achievement.
Hope everyone enjoyed the fight! Happy Luminiare. :)

happy that i got as many prizes as i did while only throwing 2k snowballs :)!
I think it's rather ridiculous that people are complaining about the prizes when the prize system was clearly stated at the beginning of the event. I mean i'm disappointed I didn't get in to the top 10% because I would have liked to, but I didn't throw enough, I knew what I was doing and though I hoped for the top I knew it was unlikely. And it clearly says that if you're not in the top 10%, then you get the same prizes as everyone else who got earned the team item even if they scraped by and you were 1 point shy of the top. That being said I do think it's pretty messed up to give us a running count of team members and points and whatnot and then in the end not count that the same way when you have a top % prize system like that.
Scoring issues aside, that background is exactly what I was hoping it would be, and I'm so glad I got it. :D
I don't understand taking out the 2 and under snowballs thrown for the 10% because they count towards each teams average snowballs thrown. So out of convenience for the 10% they are taken out? They should have counted regardless because they are a part of the team, if you are going to calculate everything that way.
It looks like I got the same prizes as players who threw 1/10th the number of snowballs. Odd. And I already have 3 of the 5 random Melody prizes. Guess they'll go in my vault. I like the backdrop but not sure about using it now, maybe save it for next December.
But why is the snowtapult still closed? I thought it stayed open until December 31st. I had lots of friends I couldn't fire snowballs at and was waiting for the contest to be over so I could, and now I can't. :( Please open the snowtapult until New Years?

Wow, you scored 1361 in the snowball war! You've got 5 random melody items and your team prize in your inventory! And you've got the Big Ol Pile of Snowballs for being on the winning team!
Thank you to the devs for the prizes. Yeah, my team didn't win but I still had fun talking to team members. I hope everyone had a good holiday.
Fun idea, horrible execution... Prize shop would have been nice for those who really did work hard
disappointed like most on the amount of sp spent for 5 items a winning team background(totally awesome and worth it) and the toy sled i wanted
I suggest a plot for next year, idk the normal snowpault broke maybe we should build one for our team and like mentioned a snow fort should be build, as well as a joining deadline
anyhow enough griping, I did have fun and it was a simple event(bit drawn out) thank you subeta team for putting it together

We had to work 3 times as hard because we chose the wrong team. I wish I had not wasted my time on this. The idea was neat, but I am unhappy with the end result. I just rather pretend it didn't happen, as I was quite pleased with Melody's gifts. That would have been enough for me.
And here I found throwing my 300 someodd tedious once the timer went into effect. Clearly I am more of a casual player. Got a wearable worth 500k and two cheap stickers. Seems okay to me, feel bad for people who spent a billion hours and got junk.
Weird, I got 3 crappy item I could get anytime, and a candy thing. While my buddy who threw less snowballs then I did got 5 items.
Don't get me wrong it was fun, just wish the prizes were a tad bit better.

Soooo the people who tried to use math to determine the amount of snowballs they needed to throw to get in the top 10% got shafted because you changed the number of people who counted at the end.
K then.

The team numbers only included people who threw at least 2 snowballs, by the end, btw :)
:T Is this a joke? 5 random items I could have bought myself for peanuts?
What a disappointing end to the event

I'm curious, what was highest number of snowballs thrown by one person?
I threw 39K, glad I didn't give up at 37K... but yeah, a tiered prize system or like a point shop would've been better. I don't regret sinking so much sP and throwing so much snowballs ('cause it was fun hanging out on the team thread for the past week), but I do feel bad for people who contributed a lot and still didn't get the 10% and feel it's kind of unfair to them.

WELP, SHOULD'VE SAVED MY sP BECAUSE I COULD'VE BOUGHT THESE JUNK ITEMS FOR LESS THAN I SPENT JUST SAYING.
Wow, you scored 512 in the snowball war! You've got 3 random melody items and your team prize in your inventory!

And I thought throwing 500 took forever...

I totally forgot to mention that I think the prizes are super pretty, haha. The background is great TC material for me, but it's so pretty as a BG. Terribly appropriate!
Haha, I already had all of those items apparently. Not terribly unexpected - I was in it for the title/achievement.
It is a little bit uh. ...it's a little funky, how the event went. I missed the first day, so I was pretty stinking behind because I missed the no timer day. (I did manage to make it anyway,) but anyone who missed a day or two would have been really stinking penalized. If you didn't get in early, there wasalmost no point in getting in and tossing more than the bare minimum.
If there is another snowball war next year, it would be nice to figure out something beyond "how long can you sit on subeta," and actually engage the attention of users. A list of steps to complete, maybe. "This year we are really serious. Help us build forts, gather snow, provide cocoa for morale!" or something else silly. Or I saw a few people on the forums suggesting a prize shop where the snowballs thrown was your points number.
Unless you specifically wanted the title and got in early there just wasn't much reason at all for people to join in.

The maths is all wrong for the 10%, but that's already been noted. Also the 316 an hour during the entire event thing realistically means that the people who were in that '10%' (it's no way actually 10%) were part of the people who used the first few hours of the event before the 5sec wait time to just hold down F5 and get in like 30-50k during those few hours.
I gotta say, honestly, I am disappointed. the prize system is just... Sad. A shop of some sort would've been much better. I threw 18k, spent millions of sP and I got 2 items I can't even use and a wardrobe item. No choice even.
Really hope there will be a feedback option for this event, cause it's needed. Fun idea, horrible execution.

I thought that after the BotB and how everyone screamed "unfair" that this scoring system was awesome. I guess some people will never be pleased. I loved it and had a great time!
Though i'm very disappointed in just about everything in this event i'm pretty proud of my score.
Wow, you scored 689 in the snowball war! You've got 5 random melody items and your team prize in your inventory! And you've got the Big Ol Pile of Snowballs for being on the winning team!
This was pretty fun, and the items aren't so bad. I wish I could've done more, but I got a neat background, so that's pretty cool.
Mathematics show 316 snowballs would need to be thrown every hour to reach 38k. Who the neck has that much time?! Redic. Anyone who works for a living or has a family had NO CHANCE of winning.
I didn't get the background and two of the items where from this year was it random? I was on dollys team. What is the backdrop everyone got?
I thought the top 10% was going to be for each team not combined teams. :I oh well
And damn, you had to throw pretty much 40k snowballs to get in the 10%?? I shouldn't have even tried. ;w; I can never beat you people xD
Anyone know what the 2 extra prizes were? The three I got 1 I had already.

I gave up. It was too long and too tedious.

oooh love that background, and my sled :) I really do enjoy throwing the snowballs, I wish some of them could become all year round wearables!
I got into the top 10% with 40k snowballs thrown and I was lucky enough to get an old item that pretty much covered the cost of snowballs. But if I hadn't gotten that lucky, I assure you it would not have been worth it. The other prizes were not worth the effort if I would have gotten the background from being on the same team anyway. I definitely agree that a tiered system would have been the way to go here. It just rewards everyone for the effort they put in, regardless of what team they were on. It really sucks that some people could put in 35k+ but not be in the top 10% and basically get nothing because they didn't get lucky. That's tons of time and money out the drain. Just my two cents as someone who got lucky.
Further to the other post below, a total of 9853346 snowballs were thrown. This number divided by 38332 would mean that only not more than 257 could have come within the top 10% however this number is almost half what 10% of players would be. Considering that the other 90% threw snowballs it would seem that only 5% of participating players were awarded the top 10% achievement.
