My take on scoring is we get a certain amount of points for each snowball we build with. So snowballs would go in a pile and be used at some set rate. Then donating other items, or cheering could (at least temporarily) increase the building rate. So no snow, no building. Not enough other stuff, slow building (or I suppose it could also stop - it would be hard to build a snowman without warm clothes), but my guess is it won't stop because those things should be available in the communal pile of goods that people with no team can donate to. It might help to find someone with no team and see if they're allowed to donate snow, or just the other things.

Of course, that all might be averaged by team size in some way.

This was mentioned in the latest news.

We will be able to see how the scoring is calculated. If the snowballs are in fact separate from the other items, I will be more than happy to get as many as I possibly can from the shop ~ ^.^ ~

- thank you, that should help (although I don't know if we'll see how scoring is done, or just the current team scores). I read those posts several times each and still managed to miss that line. Looking forward to finding out what they tell us.

~ Of course, anything that will help out ~ 👍 Team BFF's 👍 ~ I hope if we do get that notice for the scoring, it is clear. If not, I will ask about it, to be sure. In the meantime, if you hear anything, would you please let me know either way, as it's getting late here and I'm about to log off ~ Thank you ~ :D ~

EDIT: The above quote regarding the scoring is on the news page, the latest one. It's located on the 8th line down ~ 😉 ~

Hey guys, looks like I missed something. Where are you finding the stats for # of people on a team and how much we've donated so far? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!

-Guru - okay. Good night!

- we don't have those numbers. But as Me-Guru just told me, the news posted when the contest started said we should be getting some sort of information tomorrow - "Scoring will start showing tomorrow once we start getting some donation results in."

Ok thanks! I'll check tomorrow then. :)

I thought I was doing well till I read some BFFs have already donated 1k+ Thank you fellow BFFs <3 I'm lifting my game now!

Here for Team nerd BFFs! Going through my hoard shop for spares to donate.

Shops are going much quicker this morning but still managing to grab a few things. Buying snowballs, too, whenever I remember. Can't wait to see our current score!

Who else is cleaning out their vault? I've found close to 1500 from mine alone. and I'm not half way done, lol. I knew I hoarded all this stuff for a reason. GO TEAM BFF!!!!!

I'm mixing up my restocking with mass buying ~cheap stuff from user shops. Lots of clothing out there! I think I've given enough sweaters for 10 each, hahah. :)

Our team definitely won't be cold! I'm in the same sweater boat lol. Definitely trying to toss some food in there (vegan too. ;)) Soooo. Many. Pageviews. Lol

But no juicy amulets or Oracle quests yet! :( Or sbq invites, I'm low on those too.

I did get a forum point before though, whoop. Team spirit is rewarding!

- Nope not a one for me either! At least not that I've seen while trampling through the mass of vending items I have. xD If my Subeta inventory were a house I would definitely need a clean-up crew.

YAY FORUM POINTS!! Those things always elude me. :(

Hahaha yeah I've been worried I've missed them in my mess of items. I'm trying to stay on top of the donations cos no GA means the 100 item inventory limit fills up quickly. And it's quite satisfying to see your hard work after each restock. :D

- Inventory size is attached to GA now? Whaaaaaat?? Also just figured out Vending is too? Instead of 250, I can vend 500. :o Scoooore. ❤️

I've been trying to RS, but I think I'll resort to user shops. I'm just not that nimble. ;)

Hahah yup it has been for a looong time. It's my favourite thing about activating a GA! :P 100 for non, 250 for GA.

The shops aren't toooo busy at the moment. Just make sure you're checking them at the top of the minute and you should be able to grab a nice haul. I just picked up ~30 items across subsequent restocks in Icy Goods and Get Mugged. :D

- Ooooh, good tip! I was never sure when to check the stores. Looks like I better make some bookmarks. xD

Just grabbed twenty-six from the most recent restock. Woo!
