A Bad Omen: Sephora's Here!
Hello, my very good friends. I’ve heard that there is an exciting opportunity for adventure going on out there. I’d love to join up, but I don’t want to show up empty handed! I imagine those already on the trail could use a change of clothes, or a new pair of nice dry shoes.
Before I leave to join, I’d love to accept any donations of new or lightly used clothes and shoes to take with me to whichever team becomes my new family on the road. And hey, let’s make this fun: I will join whichever team helps to arrange the most donations.
Donate Here!
Sephora gives your team the Experienced Guide trait: Sephora's experience with forging trails and guiding caravans makes it easier for her to spot a quicker path through the jungle. Your team gains a +10% speed boost.

Okay something seriously needs to be done about the 502's/504's and blank pages that when you check if its up or not it says its up and clearly its not. Both teams are going crazy trying to have fun and win this thing and its not as much fun or paying off those efforts if the lag/downtime is working against you.
Sephora, Ocean Depths is like, right over there, how about I just give you all my tokens and you can get as many clothes and shoes as you want? I mean maybe you'll get a bunch of random blue stuff as well but I'm sure you won't mind.
I did some donating this time around. Had some stuff in my Legacy Hoard that still needed to be gone through.
Just wish there was a donate ALL button or something. The constant click donate click donate is rather annoying.

AUGH why is there still no "donate all" button? Why am I being encouraged to strain the site by middle-clicking to open 50 donation tabs at once? Fucking hell! I really want to help my team but this is nearly making me have violent urges

Team Steele here, so I say this not out of frustration, but yeah I hope future NPCs have more varied requirements? Donation drives will just be tedious and annoying. It may also level the playing field a bit if we give other opportunities for success.
(As far as the 502s, I came to peace a long time ago with the fact that that's just part of life on Subeta, lol)

Well, I've donated over 500 items. I'm off to have Sunday dinner with my family. Keep up the good job Team Steele!
everybody's acting like this is a foregone conclusion but remember last time team gold was actually in the lead for a while and we got up to over 150,000 items per team so there's still a ways to go, and still time for the tables to turn.
@Laurey - Thanks ! It was just odd to see the team leader who wasn't mine. Off to finish donating tons of clothes.
@Kurenai
LOL that's part of why I joined Steele in the first place, Saggi's personality rubs me the wrong way.

You have to click on the tomb image on the page to move on to the next camp. We're getting a bit more into the actual story line.

Laughing in my grave at people bashing each others.
Lowkey want to withdraw myself from this plot tbh.

I'm on Team Steele and I keeping getting a page with Saggi and his sidekick trying to talk me into sticking my head in a tomb. Um, huh?
@Kurenai
Me too! The story is always my favorite part of plots, I'm glad we're getting pieces of that in between all of this tedious trekking. ;~;

I don't know why people get so grumpy about the donation drives. We get lots of other things during the trail portion and these drives combat inflation, which is good for the long-term economic health of the site.
What I don't understand is why we're still getting so many errors and blank pages - any news on that? I get that it's a high load when these things kick off, but I'm wondering whether the complications in fixing it are due to the complex nature of the issue(s) or because the team doesn't know what the issue(s) is/are.

I don't care really who wins shrugs I'll just be grateful to have loads of plot points ;) I also love the fact that there is more of a plot story going on now :D At least it seems so with the Chief's story.
Team Gold people, please don't be discouraged! Also, gentle ribbing aside, let's not attack/bash people from EITHER team!
(also, if you're in Team Gold and haven't joined either ping group, do so - also, be sure to check the forum if you have the pings muted! WE HAVE PLANS)

I am relieved that I could donate all the items that I have boughd, despite all those blank pages and errors 502's. Pfew ...
Go team Gold! Don't be too upset or dejected. It's still just a game ;)
By the way to buy stuff for a donate drive is not so my cup of tea. Too much errors 502's, you know?
Why not by the 3rth event with a next NPC character solve an enigma or puzzle?

i have to back up what @Lea and a few others said - as someone on Steele, ten percent seems like an awfully big boost!
it really just sort of sounds unfair :/ i appreciate the opportunity to get that advantage for your team, but i think that might really just decide the "winner" of the plot here and now.
maybe something closer to a five-seven percent boost would work out better? i'm not good with math, so idk if that'd still be too big or conversely if it'd be too small, but. the point of this is to have fun! if an entire team feels like there's no chance of keeping up, morale just goes right down the drain.

Can we stop bashing each other teams? Steele is not full of cheaters. Gold is not full of lazy greedy people.
y'all, it is Just A Game. As long as you complete all five tasks per plot day, you're gonna get points, and you're going to be able to get some neat stuff from the plot shop at the end.
As I said, Gold has realized this challenge is worthless. That's why the donations are so slow.
For me, I donated the stuff I removed from my shop, so the other team won't get it. Yeah, I'm being really salty about this, but I'm so done with this.
Maybe the team that gets the OP ability woman should lose the option for speed-boost.

@FLUX
I picked Team Steele, because I imagined the adventuring bonus would help you win and I don't care about more sP (I got tons). I just wanted to be on the winning team for once. /has always lost so far
So yes, this would explain why, despite Team Gold having slightly more members, they are not winning the donation drives.
Quote:
This is actually a very good point. People who need/want sP would've joined Team Gold, so it's save to assume they care about their sP more than the Team Steele people and would not be willing to spend many millions donating.In regards to why Team Gold may be donating less - I actively avoided that team because of the mention of sP prizes. I thought that team would be more appealing to newbies/people with less sP and therefore people who may not be quite as willing to sink a few mil on a chance of a slight perk

The Subeta Status site says all systems are operational. Sep 11, 2016 No incidents reported today.
Really? :)
Really? :)
I can't believe how many of my Team Gold teammates seem to have given up on the event already D:
Also, it's not like the losers of each leg get nothing. They still get the plot points they earned individually for completing their tasks, they just miss out on the bonuses (whatever that will be).
So please don't get too discouraged, there will still be prizes for everyone in the end. <3

i love getting blank pages every time i try to donate things :'( sorry saggi i have failed you
I have been saving tons of tings to donate for the holidays. I guess I will have to replenish my holiday stock pile after this plot.
With all the...ahem. Lacy unmentionables I've donated, I wonder what people are going to think when Sephora shows up with 'em. What was the term Blake used for the last plot? Er. Butterface? Yeeeah. Eeheeheehee. Gosh, this is fun. Errors be damned.
I'm happy with how things are going, its just a bit of fun. Yes I'm on team Steele, but Gold team, don't forget you were triumphant the first day of the trail race. I was able to donate over 1000 items for Wesley from my stash (with a lot of dark muttering about the Curse of a Thousand White Pages) but clothing and shoes are not something I've been hoarding so I'll not be much help this time and I'm too slow at restocking! Don't let it stress you, guys. We always get lovely prizes no matter if we don't win. And I'll be very glad to see the back of that Survival Game!
Uhhh staff, is the lag screwing with trades? Because I tried to accept an offer and now my trade is gone and so is the item, but I still haven't gotten what I was trading for? And it's been like 10 minutes?
As someone from Team Steele, I do feel like a 10% speed boost is pretty high.
But to everyone getting mad at us for winning, do you know how hard we were working all afternoon to get our lead? We were less than 1% ahead of Team Gold when they fixed the glitch, and we managed to pull together to defeat our obstacles, use the speed boosts, and get ahead again. I'm not saying that your team didn't also work hard, but please don't assume that we won this leg "just because"
As far as the donations go, Saggi actually has more members than us anyway so try getting more people to donate if they can. Although I don't like item drives very much either...
Good luck to everyone, keep doing your best!

Wow, so many people are upset about this. ^^; I guess I can't blame them, but personally this all makes me really happy. It's nice to be on the winning team for the first time in eight years!
We have almost reached the end of the bars, will it be over, when we've reached that or are you dragging it on for 24 hours and the bars are just a mock up?
I dunno, I'm having a lot of fun with this event now? And the errors and lag seem to be leveling out.
It never fails that people on the team that is behind get upset at how the plot is run. Having been on the loosing team and the winning team, I can tell you... that's just how it goes peeps... Play to win and buck up if you loose... it's all part of the fun.
@MarissaUnderground,
I hope also the numbers of each are pretty equal.
I'm just wondering about some kind of causes, nothing more than that.

This is only the second NPC 'released' and the first one with a 'good' skill (Wesley is nice and all, but you can actively play the food gathering game to get food, so the stores depleting more slowly is pretty meh if you stand back and think about it), so I don't really understand why people are already throwing in the towel?
To avoid misunderstandings I mean with Team Gold get slightly more they gave at the end compare with they gave at the beginning of the event by the donation event by Weasly, whatever team Steel gave.
Don't give up, Team Gold! We haven't lost yet! And who knows... our fearless leader might have some secret bonus up his sleeve that we don't know about yet!
I've always sided with the underdog . . . So I think I've joined the right team. GO GOLD!
