Carnival Fun!
It turns out that the good people over at the carnival sure have been busy these past few days. It has never looked so beautiful!
Bibi and Lilah have just finished setting up their new Carnival Prize shop. You best get to work collecting Carnival Tickets because that\'s the only currency they\'ll accept. Lucky for you, it won\'t be difficult! Carnival games will no longer give out items as prizes and will instead reward you with Carnival Tickets. All existing carnival prize items have been moved to the prize shop, and some new ones have been added!
And do be sure to stop by and say hello to Ricardo. He\'s been excitedly and impatiently waiting for this announcement to be made. He even took a bath for the occasion which, Batista has informed us, is a very rare thing indeed!

@Wolf_Spirit We aren't getting rid of all chance things. We literally just added items to the coin machine today, which is a chance based system. :) Also a lot of carnivals give you tickets for winning a game where you spent on prizes.
@boxcutterbaby try again later :D

While I like being able to choose certain items if there is something specific I want instead of waiting forever to get it by random, I also liked getting the game prizes to stash in my vault for recycle beast.
If Hustler starts giving points out instead of items I think that this site will be handing everything out to people on a silver platter. All the fun of chance will be gone and the site will become very boring in that respect.
I'm inclined to agree @Solsticesprite. I enjoyed getting a random item from playing a Carnival game. It's seeming to become quite boring, now, all this "choose-your-own-prizes". Carnivals are supposed to be random instead of definite regarding prizes. Instead of a Carnival, now, it feels more like an arcade where you can save tickets up and buy things that way. All the chance seems to be taken out where it shouldn't (sP-based activities) and implemented where it shouldn't be (CSC-related things - AKA Chance machines). If anything it should be the other way around. Where's the fun in life if all the chance is taken out of it? Chance games in the Carnival made for a bit of fun. Now it's more of the same thing.
That doesn't stop me from liking the new map. It's stunning and was well needed. I just wish everything wasn't all choose-your-own.

Lost to Batista the first time I played and then I won the 2nd time and he told me he was out of tickets. Looks like if you don't win the first time, no tickets for you. That's kind of disappointing. No point in playing bluff for the rest of the day if that really is the case.

Now I know why my subconcious didn't like the new candy apples.
I liked all the little junky wins, they sold for way more sP than the WT to win them cost. Cinthia and Quentin will now ask for nothing?
I liked the occasional SBQ snag from Balloon Popping. No way in hell am I fast enough to snag them directly from the Subeautique. This seems like a downgrade. Do we now have a chace of winning five hundred tickets (=sbq win) from this game?

It has been explained that the zebra cuddle buddy is meant to be layered behind the avatar base and voila no more awkward floating :D
I didn't even think about it, but does this mean the grand prize achievement for the duck pond has retired?
@kbbob - Oh god. And the new currency page can be an Excel spreadsheet. :o I THINK WE'RE ONTO SOMETHING HERE.
@Moyoleuhqui
Oh right, it's the dice version. it is similar to playing with cards I guess. you say how many of a certain number you rolled and your opponent has to guess whether you're lying or telling the truth I guess. I think after playing it a few times you'll figure it out. I forget the exact rules but it isn't too hard to pick up.

@Moyoleuhqui Tomorrow I'm going to go through and see if I can make the rules a bit more clear (maybe add images and stuff). :)
Ricardo is supposed to be a kid, right? He looks like a kid and runs a carnival food stand, Cinthia must stalk him aaalllll day long!
@Speiro
what about currency points? you get them based on the currencies you have. csc counts for 100 currency points, lounge trinkets are 3, steamworks trinkets are 5, sp is 1, wizard tokens are 2, recycle points are 4, forum tickets are 10, tique invites are 6, referral points are 50, quest points don't count, crystals count for .3, carnival tickets are also 1, candy hearts, vesnali tokens, and near years tokens are all 9 because I got tired of this. and retired currencies will all go away eventually once we get their antique releases.

I am not a native english speaker so in my country I don't think I've heard of a game that involves dices.
But then again, I've never gotten into one of those betting places so it might as well be known and I am not aware.
Guess I am gonna keep trying and keep reading the rules until the moment of "omg, i figured it out" appears haha ^-^'

Wait, can we still win balloons to hand in, or was that discontinued? I was trying for the last tier of the handing-them-in achievement by winning them :x
@Kbbob - Just wait until they release the Multiple Redundancy Points. You have to spend an equal number of MRP for every point of sP you spend, but it's ok because they're easy to earn; you earn one for every point of sP you earn! :D
Oh my goodness he is so cute, I want to pinch his cheeks.
And I really love this change... So many items I need and so little time. Also super glad the carnival now has a map like the rest of the site !

I hope the carnival map will have a nighttime version with lots of lights on everything. That would be rad.
Nice! Carnival tickets like it's a real place!! Just think of it like you put your paycheck in the bank so you can use your debit card at the atm to get cash (because they don't take cards at the gate) to buy tokens to use in the games to earn tickets that you use at the prize counter. ^_^
The map/NPC revamp is beautiful, the new items are adorable, and of course I love choosing prizes rather than being stuck with 800 of the same thing trying to get one of each! This is aaaaaalll good. <3 I am a happy Subetan. Thank you!

@kbbob - Oh I do agree.
I know its meant to be pulled behind your base but still.... A+ Placement guys. xD

Omai Bluff awards 5 carnie tickets! Excellent! Does it do that every time or just the first win of the day? Because I could rack up a lot of tickets in not a lot of time with that :o
So, which games do we play for tickets? The pond, ring toss, and balloon popping are what I can think of and pick out on the new graphic, which is awesome btw.
You Win:
1 Carnival Ticket1!
so there are ticket1s ticket2s and ticket3s? so many different tickets.
