Quest-A-Thon: Over Halfway!
You guys have passed the halfway point for the Quest-A-Thon! Keep up the great work everyone. <3
Just a reminder if the goal is met everyone gets 1 new pet slot, the forum title “has some fries to go with that shake”, and 5 bathhouse tokens! Participation means completing at least one quest.

@Bliss Me too, but don't give up just yet, you never know!
As what some are suggesting to extend the deadline, or to give us the slot anyway, I don't agree with that. If we really don't make it, maybe it's a good thing that we're reminded that all of us have to work hard if we want to reach the goal, and that things aren't just handed to us.

The other thing that helped the last Quest-A-Thon was that it was held in December. A ton of users return from hiatuses and things during that time because of Luminaire so that also greatly helped with the total then along with the quests being weekend special and giving out holiday items.
I'm really hoping we make it this time and I'm going to make sure I do all of my quests for tomorrow, but I'm not saying we won't be cutting it close. A smidge bit of an extension would be fantastic considering Father's Day and all that haha.

If weekend quests had been something worthwhile (Wizard or Saggi) instead of Cinthia that would've helped a lot. :( Oh well... I've been doing all quests every day including Sarah. Bought a 1 week GA just for this event.

Not that I need another pet slot, but it'd be awesome if we could meet this goal! I've done 150 quests each day so far, and will do 150 tomorrow.

I feel bad that I haven't been able to participate in this Quest-a-thon as much as I normally do. But I've done all 100 quests today and will do them all again tonight and hope for the best.

Still being hopeful that things will pan out for all of us and we'll pull it off. Finished for tonight and plan to do them early tomorrow to get it out of the way since it's Father's Day. I just hope my husband doesn't want to leave first thing in the morning since he tends to be an early bird.

I don't know, the day isn't over. If we hit 600,000 today, we -might- be able to pull off 150,000 tomorrow. Please, don't give up and stop questing just because of the numbers! I mean, if people are doing stuff with their dads, that's awesome. Throw one or two quests our way if you can. But if you can do more, don't let the numbers keep you from doing more.
I hope that didn't seem selfish. I just really, really want that pet slot. At least I'll have enough money saved from doing the quests to buy it if I have to. But Millionaire Center slots are capped. :/

I only have one pet, and will only have ONE pet. But, I still try super hard. I love forum titles and the other stuff. I know A LOT of people have tons of pets and want tons more. So, I am happy that they can get a change for a pet slot. So, whoever said people don't care when they don't need or want the pet slot isn't true, well, for me at least. Keep up the good work everyone!

@Chesid I went to check in the december 2016 news: the goal was also 750k quests, but we had 11 days to complete it.
Quote by news:
December 18, 2016
Starting tonight, Monday the 19th, at 12:00 until Thursday December 29th at 11:59pm we will be having a site wide Quest-A-Thon!
You’ll be working with your fellow users to complete 750,000 quests during this period.

Frost
For those wondering, the last quest-a-thon back in December, all quests acted as weekend quests and some gave out old holiday items. That got everyone and their mother questing and that's basically the only reason why we hit the 750k goal very early, and ended on ~1.6m completed quests by the time the December quest-a-thon was officially over.
Having all quests be weekend quests for this weekend is about the only thing that could've saved this quest-a-thon. It's not likely we'll get 200k quests done in the span of ~30 hours when we barely got 100k done per 24 hours as is.

@bonecrivain
I seem to recall Amber saying that it's the same length of time as the last one (doesn't seem to me, but I'm probably remembering incorrectly). My guess is that a lot of people might be away for Father's Day. Or still in classes. Heck. I have some friends still in college who only had a week of vacation before summer courses, so they're already back in school.

Fingers and toes crossed we meet the goal. A bit worried, if I am being honest. But, I have HOPE in all the awesome questers out there.

bonecrivain
I'm surprised too! The last time the goal was met so quickly, people were asking for rewards for doubling it. Either the time limit was shorter for this round, or far fewer people are participating.

bonecrivain
Looks like we aren't going to make it. I'm really bummed. :( It'd be nice to extend the deadline at least another day, so people who aren't around for the weekend/holiday can do some questing.

I really wish staff had put more thought into the timing of this Quest-A-Thon. Pokemon Go event, some people are still in school/taking exams in mid June, and now Father's Day... this was just really badly timed.

all my quests done again for today c: hope it helps!
i personally don't need the slot (tokens are what i'm aiming for) but i'm still doing my bit for the team effort. i'm sure people who haven't been able to complete all their quests have legitimate reasons why, so if we don't make the 750k target i just hope people aren't too bitter and blamey...so let's just keep it civil and positive, because the supportive community here is what makes Subeta great :heart:

I would just like to point out, even if people are not keen on a new pet slot, with the rotation from spring to summer items in the MC and the Quest Shops, this is an excellent opportunity for getting some addtional sP and QP (can't ever have too much of those, right? ;-P), while doing also something nice for you fellow subetans...^^

Pirate
I think that 7 days is a bit low (Wasn't it more in the events before?) especially since the overall timing for this Quest-A-Thon wasn't the best, not only because summer time. It was one of my exam weeks so I had no time for Subeta before yesterday and I doubt I'm the only one currently going through this. I am here now and doing what I can but wish I could have done more...

@crashingnightingales I was just thinking the same thing about Sunday being Father's Day. I think it will definitely put a dent in the amount of quests completed , unfortunately on the final day. :( Still helping out as I would appreciate the prizes though.

crashingnightingales
Well, it's looking pretty bleak but maybe we can still squeeze by. At this point it's a long shot, considering this Sunday is Father's Day. But I'm still determined to do my part, even if we don't get a new pet slot when all is said and done.

The loyalty box type prize does sound pretty awesome. While I'm a bit of a pet addict myself, I really need to work on the 23 I already have. I'm doing all the quests I can for the team effort, and going for the bathhouse prize.

Diprosopus
I agree that I don't NEED a pet slot. I'm doing the quests for the forum title, to be honest. I have 14 pet slots and I'm using 9, so I don't NEED more. It's possible they'll come in handy later, but it'd be nice to choose like the others said. I could really use some stat boosts on my pet since I don't really have the money to dish for CSC. :'(
Hopefully, we'll have some more players questing since it's the weekend.

I think we need to stay positive and not blame people for not participating.
I don't care for any of the prizes, but I'm still participating as much as I can because I want others who want the slot to get it. I didn't quest much the last 3 days, because real life is more important. But, I'll have time to do quests this weekend. It's unfair to assume that people like me aren't participating because we are selfish and want to deny you a pet slot.
Anyway, I believe we can still reach the goal! People are online most during the weekends. Just don't get discouraged. c:

....marathons don't pay the participants to run. I have a really difficult time understanding how or why the site would even want to make every quest a weekend quest for this. Either the prize is worth participating for, or it's not.

I know this is a lot late (because I'm late for pretty much everything), but if we do a quest-a-thon next year, I really dig User not found: sputnik's suggestion of a loyalty box type crate where we can pick the bigger super-special prize we'd prefer. I, personally, don't benefit from pet slots. I've got 15 now and only using 10 while thinking of possibly downsizing if I can't come up with the csc to rename 3 of them first.
On that note, I haven't given up on helping for those that want slots. I haven't gotten as many quests done as I'd like due to rl, but I'm keeping at it. Hopefully I can finish all the quests each day this weekend.

For what it's worth, I'm really surprised there isn't a user-run "Do your quests, guys!" ping reminder group.
I know I missed about 20 quests on Monday because I got busy, forgot I hadn't finished, and then the clock rolled over, and I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who are keen to help but are busy and come to Subeta and think "oh, man! If only I'd remembered that day I'd have done my quests!"
It could help spur participation and completion, I think. Reminders are super helpful.

@Sputnik I don't know how well it'd work in practice, but in theory some kind of box-type item sounds like a good idea to me. Either way, I'm happy knowing the staff will try to work on this for the next quest-a-thon. :-)

Navem
I really hope we reach that goal. I want the extra pet slot. I look forwards to these just for the slot. It is such a huge chunk of CSC otherwise. Doing all of them doesnt take to much time. I used a gold account specifically for the extra quests.

gemajgall
We've never failed a quest-a-thon, and I really don't want to now. I hope it doesn't come across as selfish because there's a pet I really want, but I really, really hope we can make up the difference. But we're like 300,000 quests to go with 2.5 days left. I -really- hope we can do it. We did so well last time!
I understand it's a huge time sink for a lot of people, and can be expensive too. But even if you don't do them all, just throw one or two our way. Please?

@Freakshow I definitely get where you're coming from, but I do agree with @raumlet . I don't personally mind the questing that much as I do it while watching a show, but it is a *lot* of mindless clicking, especially if you're not into the prizes. That's personally why I commented on the the prizes in the first place. This whole thing is a team effort, so it'd be nice to have some other cool prize *in addition* to the pet slot. (I'd really like to highlight that I don't want to take anyone's extra petslot away from them, I just don't think it's optimal as the only major prize in an event like this!) I'll continue doing the best I can, but I also don't blame anyone who, for whatever reason, isn't participating. :)

Even if we do end up failing specifically because of people who don't want pet slots... How exactly can you blame them for not participating? Doing 90-150 quests a day is a huge timesink and a whole lot of clicking, and if you aren't interested in the end goal, I fully understand not wanting to bother with it. Lots of people find questing tedious.
I'm going to be doing all 150 quests every day, plus my usual BQs, even though the only thing I'm going to get any use out of is the bath tokens. I don't begrudge the effort personally, but don't pin this on people who aren't interested in pet slots like they're going out of their way to deny you this one, okay?
Good luck though, everyone. Hopefully we'll see more people on over the weekend.

I don't think Frost is blaming EVERYONE. Just saying, if there are those out there that decided to not join in just because they weren't happy with the prize, it's sorta.... sucky for the rest of us? xD
I can see where you're both coming from though, not trying to stir the pot.
I understand both sides - I mean if I had all the pets I wanted, etc I wouldn't want the slot either...
...Though it is a free (essentially) 20 dollar prize.
To each their own though! n-n Everyone who joined in - we can do this!! Just.. gotta keep trudging onward! Go, go, go!!

I don't think it's fair to blame the current lagging behind on the people who gave feedback about the prizes. I can obviously only speak for myself, but I was one of them, and I've still been doing all of my quests every day (apart from a day I missed due to being busy with real life). We have less time to complete the goal this time around, and a lot of people are on their summer vacations right now and simply don't have the time to spend on doing a hundred quests every day. Best we can do is keep on questing and try to get all our friends online as well. We haven't lost quite yet, so let's not give up. :heart:

@Freakshow
Here's hoping. I do all the quests daily anyway so this is not really that much different from my daily Subeta routine. ;P I just have to add Sarah to the list during quest-a-thons.
I'm just idly wondering what kind of "better prize" some people want? I absolutely understand that not everyone is into pets, but giving out CSC en masse for a quest-a-thon would kill the site if it's given out per participant like the current prizes, not everyone wants CWs/wearables (plus it would deflate them in value), and site currencies (minus bathhouse tokens) are already available by the bucketful. Adding a quest-a-thon shop/currency is a no because we already have a ton of special currencies and respective shops as is. So... Kinda wondering what exactly should we have as the prize instead of a pet slot?
btw, for those curious, excluding yearly loyalty boxes, pet slots are basically unobtainable once you buy all the CSC and sP ones, so... It's kind of a priceless, superspecial prize to quite a few users. Just because it's worthless to some people doesn't mean said people have to pee in everyone else's cereal on purpose, y'know?
