Snowman Contest Start!
The competition is on!
If you haven’t joined a team, that’s okay. You’ll be able to cheer from the sidelines and donate to a communal pile of goods and receive Aspen’s ice skin at the end!
For those of you on a team, are you ready? You can now donate snowballs as well as any items from Get Mugged, Icy Goods, and The Bake Stop! You don’t have to get them from the actual shop, vending them is fine too.
Just to recap our amazing prizes: for participating you’ll receive a prize from your team, a pet slot, and a lovely ice skin from Aspen! The winning team will get a forum title and a special item, as well as a cool new trophy.
Get to know your team and support each other on the forums.
Scoring will start showing tomorrow once we start getting some donation results in.
The competition will be ending at 6:00pm this Friday. Prizes will go out after the competition ends. Good luck to all teams and have fun!

To bad it doesn't run through the weekend. Only during a work week. .. ah...well. I donate as much as I can when I'm on.
Does anyone know if we can anticipate a prize shop or achievements for amounts of things we donate?
Oh these snowmen weren't there a minute ago. Looks like one could be a dinosaur, one looks like an elephant. Team mischief - not sure what they are doing. Perhaps a boat.
Get Mugged!
Restocked 34 minutes ago
The Bake Stop
Restocked 15 minutes ago
Kind of hard to restock =(
LoL, my dumbass posted it in wrong news post the 1st time. Posted it the new monthly collection.

Okay but the Snowmen we're creating are giant versions of SNOWBALLS is anyone going to mention that
Is it me, or is the shops taking even longer than normal to restock. One is saying last restock 41 minutes. I get they are empty because everyone is grabbing items, but you'd think they'd restock more for this event :/
While it's not the same as being able to donate multiple items at once, I'm using Control click to have the donated items open in another tab. I can get through dozens of items quite quickly - the only thing that takes time is waiting for them to finish loading before exiting out of the tab. :P
Not really impressed I can't join a team anymore and am losing out on loads of prizes and achievements. :(
Ohh! This is a fun twist on an RS war! :) I'm wondering though...is there a way to see how many items we each donated for personal tracking? I had 100 of an item and was refreshing to keep donating that same thing. It seemed like it was not enough refreshes to get all 100 donated but they disappeared. I'm nervous the site ate them and would feel better if I at least could see how many items I donated so I know if it's going through or not.
A lot of click click clicking. Any place to see how each team is doing, a progress bar or something?
To donate multiple items at once, look for the free snaplinks addon (It allows you to highlight and open multiple links at once). I've mentioned it before in these comments and the SB. It's quite effective.
"WOOOOOO YEAHHHHH YOU GO GLEN SNOWSNOW! - Good cheering, your team seems to have picked up the pace!"

Yes. This is awesome. <3 I'm kinda glad my forgetfulness kicked in and I forgot to agonize over whether I wanted to switch teams... XD shrug Too late now! GO WES AND RUMI!!! :D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Can we get a "donate all" button? I have over one hundred items and you can only do one at a time.

It says in the news post: "Scoring will start showing tomorrow once we start getting some donation results in."

Oh wow, so it's on. I'm just glad I stashed a bunch of snowballs in my vault because I won't be buying or throwing any as long as they are 5 times the normal price, nope.
Good luck to all. Looking forward to getting a pet slot. :)

Woo team BFFs! Just all y'all watch out for the yellow snowballs Elwood likes to pee on things.
Yay, Tobias and Nico (I think?) are both wearing the awesome mohawk hats! I'm so happy to see the NPCs appreciate these hats as much as I do.
I wish there was a mass donate button or something because ooooh boy is that a lot of clicking.
we can only donate one item at time? really? and... there will be other steps right? this is just the beginning?
Oh No! You've got 30 seconds until you can buy again!
I always get the same message, even if it already passed like... 20 seconds. Does it mean that it restarts everytime you try to buy if 30 seconds aren't passed?

@Orange the hovers have been taken off! :)
@User not found: poison_envy @Hamda This has already been explained that we haven’t added a donate all because of the strain it’ll cause the server. We’ve taken off the hover for items, though, so that should make it less annoying while donating. I know it sucks to do it one by one but think of how many users right this second want to donate thousands of items, we’d be lucky all those went through and didn’t time out on some of you guys! We’re just trying to keep you guys from losing items and what not. <3

Am I missing where I can see how many items I personally donated? I know the team listings won't be up until tomorrow, but what about keeping track for ourselves?
If you guys have multiples of the same item, like 1000 Banana Snowballs, you can just donate one and them click F5 until they're all gone. You're welcome.
Oh nooooo I thought I had until midnight tonight. Serves me right for misreading the news post. ;A;

Huh. So when the donation corner opened there were a lot of food donations from NPCs, and Amber said ..."a few other cool things from some of the NPCs (basic needs really for something Grace and I are cooking up) Was that not for this event? I can't donate most of this food because it's from the wrong store D:

@Aloysius Team members can cheer for their team as well, yes! :) Those without teams can choose a team to cheer for, those on a team cheer for their own team!
@Aloysius
It doesn't take you off a team, I clicked on it and all it said was:
"You can cheer for your team again in 60 minutes."

Please, please add a "donate all" button. I have a few thousand items to donate. At this rate, I will spend the entire week donating items instead of gathering more.
What does the "Cheer for team ..." button do? Is it for team members or for those who didn't pick a team? I just want to make sure I don't take myself off my team.
So, will we not get the participation prize until after? I really wanted to wear it during the competition to show my support.
>three days
>being "constantly online"
That is plenty of time even still
Sorry you were unable to participate, oh well
