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.

@MarissaUnderground Mods have said that the teams are mostly even, and Saggi has slightly more members! We aren't uneven.
Why not just make a lottery to decide which NPC goes to who?
Equal amount of chance and equal amount of NPCS awarded to each team.
The end.

...I gotta draw this now.

Actually Team Gold is donating less because we were able to realize how this is going to end and nobody got the nerve to throw more items away. I just want this plot to end, sorry. The fun is long gone and pushing OP abilities out for whoever donates enough rubbish is simply no challenge. If I remember correctly, the theme of this plot is survival. Actually survival means doing best with the small things you have and not buying loads of items to donate or actually donating...it feels more like donating canned food with your school as a pupil, not like a survival and exploration plot....
@Riptide @Avec,
Yes I have read this, but I'm not sure if the staff meant the numbers of Team Gold members are slightly more or have they meant the donations from Team Gold get slightly more at the end compare with the beginning of the event by the donation event by Weasly.
If you have got right then the first cause is right. You are just better at to give donations.
There could be also an other reason:
3 the yellow and purple lines can't count not so quickly all the donations as happen in reality. So the lines could be a little misleading.

Seriously. There are so many other things you could do that would be more fun and less stressful on the servers.Can we maybe have a more imaginative method of gaining npcs? Haven't we had enough donation drives? I don't think anyone remotely enjoys them.
Rapid fire brainstorming:
- Mini gelatin invasion. Release ~250k gelatins (only the two weakest types) and the team that defeats the most wins.
- Pick three games (something like Matlal's Jewels, Omen Raiders, and Pirate Panic), and have a gaming contest. Team score is calculated by adding up each player's single highest score for each of the three games. (That way you're comparing how good players are at the games, rather than how long they can sit in front of the computer.)
- A treasure hunt where we search the campsite for potentially valuable trinkets. Basically just more floating items scattered around the site, and we try to collect as many as we can. Maybe some are worth more points than others.
- An old-fashioned restock war where restocking the items earns you points, rather than donating them. Deal with the potential deflation by asking for those items later on during obstacles.
Any of these would be more interesting than fighting lag and errors to buy up thousands of items from user shop, only to fight lag and errors to donate them all right afterwards.
everyone's talking about this drive
but can I just say Kahaleitzli had all my feels with his convo at camp ;O;
guys, who cares you gets to the top first? it's called a bad omen? you really think anything good awaits us at the top?
first one up will be first one facing the wrath of the island's beast imo :x

I was afraid of this: more NPCs accepting donations and all end up on Team Steele. Gold is horribly outnumbered with less people on it enough, if we don't get NPCs joining our team at all.....
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 :/
@Lea,
1 Team Steel is just better at to donate stuff than Team Gold.
2 More likely Team Steel has got more members so they will always win with the donation events because more members of a team can buy more than a team with less members. In that case the size of a group does matter. Than you have got entirely right.
I hope the staff can give us more information about the exact numbers of members of each team.

If team Steel (the yellow line) wins all the time with the donations there could be two reasons.10% seems like quite a bit of a boost, and I'm saying that as a member of Team Steele. s: I like the idea of NPCs helping us out but I'm just not so sure it'd feel fair for one team to get a permanent 10% boost in speed! I don't want people to get too discouraged, even if we're on opposite teams orz;

you know...I just wrote this long comment to add here...about the stress/anxiety, frustration and sadness these errors are causing me and it white screened, ate my post shakes head.
I love Subeta plots...I do...but I feel that I dont even care what team Im on anymore. I give props to the people who are battling through all this...and I will continue to try and do the plot points that I can...but the site is mostly un-useable. So even if I wanted to take a break...try and destress...its not happening.
Im just so bloody upset...
Oh and I know its my fault for not copying and saving my post before trying to post...but honestly..should I have to?

@SubetaTeam I don't know what the hell you guys are thinking but throwing this sort of competition when the servers are always failing is complete bullshit, if you pardon my french. I've been trying non-stop to help out my team with this drive but it's impossible to do anything with the servers constantly down and it's unfair as hell for everyone to consider whatever results out of this as binding because the site just. isn't. working.
At this point, I am starting to feel my team's frustration a lot. I cleared a lot of superfluous stuff outta my wardrobe, and it barely made a dent in our efforts. Like, is there really no better way to get NPCs to helps us out? 'cause rn, it's like, between the bad gateways, and the fact that the other team seems five steps ahead of us every damn time, why even bother?

How are we supposed to know which color stands for which team? I mean Team Gold and Team Steel, but the colors are gold and purple. Hm. Well, ok. Sagi wears purple, so I guess I'll assume that the gold is for Team Steel and the purple is for Team Gold?
Can we maybe have a more imaginative method of gaining npcs? Haven't we had enough donation drives? I don't think anyone remotely enjoys them.
I love the idea of different NPCs joining the teams and offering perks :) But these 502s... -_-
I like it if Team gold wins this time with the donations but I have peace with the big change team Steel will get a new member again.
I just hate the bad gateway's and errors 502.
@ User not found: [npc] Sephora I like you tough, whatever which team will win you finely.

Here's an idea. Why not have the next npc offer the team that donates the most (Team Steele) get flown/teleported/whatever to the top/end of the map and then we can all be rid of this plot once and for all. This thing stopped being fun as soon as you added the first donation drive.
10% seems like quite a bit of a boost, and I'm saying that as a member of Team Steele. s: I like the idea of NPCs helping us out but I'm just not so sure it'd feel fair for one team to get a permanent 10% boost in speed!

Yeah, great. Another boost that the other team will win. Might as well give up now then. With a 10% speed boost and more active users (meaning quicker boosts) there is no way in hell Team Gold is ever going to have even the slightest chance of winning anything during the rest of this flipping plot. Worst one yet, staff. Worst one yet. But hey, why wouldn't it go this way? I always seem to pick the loosing team so this will just be another one of those then... :/
AND wait a minute~this time, we're donating clothes that (if we win) we'll get back? (Not in actuality, of course, but her logic...is really...)
hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
The joke's on us.
Because imagine the scenario:
You: donates 500 shoes
Sephy comes by later, & tosses dozens of familiar shoes at you
You: Umm, Sephy dear, if I donated this...that probably means I. don't. need. it.
Sephy: smiles

CRUNCHES KNUCKLES. It's a'ight, Steele-ites. I knew I was stockpiling stuff for a reason. B)c
The NPC is just going to go to Steele sigh I'm already tired of the plot that has been messing up from the day it started and it's lost whatever fun it would have been for me :( I'm so tired of the trail with no plot story fun like the other plots before it. Please make this plot event better. I dislike to think I'm just wasting my time for nothing :(
is there any plans to get an NPC based off of Game scores or something less stressful and laggy than a donation drive
Guys, guys, staff. You have GOT to bulk up the servers beforehand if you want to do events like this, or we'll just keep crashing the site over and over and over!
The whole site became un-useable...there goes my time for questing. :c
Actually, it was awful when the last donation thing was going on and now another one, with an OP ability? This sucks and I will quit participating if the other team wins this, as they will win automatically.

i also really want some junk art of these characters wearing cheap donated items like cat hats and sandals
Ahhhh, bravo; using plot advantages to rid the site of so many items is a fantastic idea! A win-win.
