PIRATES? GELATINS? WHAT???
Spend the day defeating Mini Gelatins so Anabelle can open up the Freyalise Trading Company tomorrow. There will be news posts throughout the holiday when the harder and more annoying gelatins have been swept off board by Dirty Matty for you to fight.
This means the official start of Keel Hauliday will be tomorrow. This is when the shop will open for restocking and Carl will start giving out items. Don’t worry, quests will be reset when it all starts!
In the past, we've had limited amounts of each gelatins when released. That's not the case this year! Fight as much as you can when a gelatin is released, the crew would appreciate it. We've also added new tiers to the gelatin related battle achievements! All gelatins will be found in the Event Tab at the Battle Coliseum.

That's because only the minis have been released as a 1st wave. News post says there will be more posts when the others are released. Good luck.

For some reason, the only ones in my event tab are the Mini Gelatin's. And it's been like that all day.
Yar har fiddle dee dee, smashing the jellies sounds alright to me! Clear out the goops and then we'll be free, you are a pirate!
Ahhhh… jam alert! I’ve squished a whack of these wee beasties and as always it’s a messy job!
These little guys do go faster that I expected- I jumped 4 tiers this evening alone battling on and off- 3 tiers to go! 🎉 So excited to see the extra tiers!
@Laurey I tested that after I read your post and multiple pets do add to the totals for the achievements. Thanks for that! 😊

Wow, it must take a few years to get the mini achievement. I still need over 1K just to get to the next tier. Getting 3500 will take days of spending many hours every day sitting & clicking. Tired already. Not looking forward to the highly annoying useless pirate shop where I can never get anything. Wish there was a way to make it a bit easier to buy new items. I like that Pete gives pirate items.
In terms of accessibility, I spent several hours writing up a Gelly War opponent guide for all skill levels: Topic: Gelly War Guide + Help Thread!. At the very least, I hope it helps make battling less scary for new players. I kept budget constraints in mind, but we also have a weapon lending thread (Topic: 
Weapons - Borrowing & Lending ) should anyone need to borrow anything as we get into the stronger opponents.
Like METROID said, battling is accessible. It takes work and dedication, but anyone can start battling at any time. We even have an active battle channel on the Subeta Discord server where you can get advice from other users at any time of day :) The battling community is continuing to do all we can to break down the barriers to entry and I certainly hope this event encourages more people to get into battling as it so often has in previous years.

We've taken into consideration how gelatin wars have happened in the past and with the way we're releasing this time, it's similar to any sort of holiday challengers during an event. You don't have to rush to make sure you get wins in before others do and you'll have the entire holiday for battling. Tomorrow, when the holiday actually starts, you'll find out end dates and what not. :)
I'm afraid, the achievement means only a single Fancyful Box cry. With it coming as a surprise loot last time (mine holding crap on top), I was set for digging out additional time and going higher with more pets next time instead of only with a single one. There goes my dream of finally finding unavailable WL weapons.
Battling has always been accessible, anyone can start any time to train a battle pet. You need not know every little quirk of mechanic to get the job done. You don't even need the best stuff. You just have to show an interest to start, and be consistent and persistent. It's only inaccessible if you never try.
Excited that gelatins are back to beat.
I have concerns over the change for the hydragellos from a threshold of damage to hit (last war was 10m, reduced from 15m due to lag) to a set amount of wins in order to get prizes as evidenced by the new "beat hydragellos 5 times" achievement. Depending on how hydragellos is statted this is potentially making what was hard but achievable with lower tier pets (there were tier 11, 10, 9, and 8 pets who hit that threshold) into a hard stat check. I understand there are issues with site lag that arise from events like this, but I think making it occur at the same time as the other big refresh-a-thon on site (Keelhauliday) is not going to help out at all.
There are concerns about battling being inaccessible to newer players, and if this change ends up making the rewards from this fight more inaccessible than it was in previous years, I think that's going to run counter to the idea of making battling more accessible.

I hope you all do lots of battling and unlock all available battle achievements for this event! Best of luck to you all in your battles!!!!
Love that there are no limits to how many you can battle this year! So much battling to do though lol
Also FYI for everyone, I'm pretty sure that you don't need to do all of the battles with one pet. So for the ones that have A LOT of battles needed for the achievement tiers, you can spread that around to multiple pets, if you have more than one that can beat that opponent multiple times.

@velvetlurker The gelatins come in different waves. They will post when a different kind comes

Whelp, time for me to dive into battling! Was on my lists of things to learn but what a perfect way to encourage me to get to it!
Looking forward to the event!

At least now if the recycle beast ever gets a jello craving in the future i am totally set to hook him up
Me and my Tier 1 Akaar like, "I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just happy to be here. :D"
wow, somehow i picked a great week to, after 15 years, finally start battling with my pets!! me and my baby T4 against a harsh, gelatinous world
thank you for making these unlimited btw! i feel like i can actually reach some new achievement tiers this time :)

@ColdDragon don't underestimate gelatins!! there's a wizard one, it could've done some weird things too
@Amber I didn't know it was capable of that but I'm thrilled to hear it. Will be looking forward to it immerging!
Count me as confused but ecstatic! Wonder if the Hydragellos will make an appearance? Hard to see that monster fitting on the pirate ship.
OKAY EVERYONE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. STAY CALM LIKE ME. GO FORTH AND MAKE IT RAIN PURPLE JAM!
