and everyone else:

The forum group loophole still isn't okay, but I talked with the other staff and they're fine with users holding sP for each other so you can do Sarah's quests. So feel free to organize that and help each other out :)

I forgot to put in the post about weekend quests that they also have a chance for retired items (I fixed this). GO CRAZY GUYS

YEAHHH PARTY TIME You all did AMAZING and you didn't even need the extra day at all!!

A lot of naysayers were crying how 1M was too large a goal, or that the gelatin war would make it too hard. But you sure showed them that we don't need events to be rigged in our favor for us to win. You guys did awesome working together, encouraging each other and taking this challenge on.

A huge congratulations from me (who also did a few dozen quests a day to help out, even if I couldn't do the max) :D <3 Enjoy your well-earned rewards, make some cool pets, bask in your victory :)

[edit] And yeah tbh I just pinged you all to tell you you're awesome. Nothing important here, just that. YOU DID IT. YOU ROCK.

That's up to the staff members who run events ;)

I'm just a coder so I'm actually more one-of-you than one-of-the-staff when it comes to events like the Gelatin War or the Quest-a-Thon. Everything's a surprise to me too (though even if I did know any schedules in advance, I wouldn't give anything away you can be sure.)
