SNOWBALL FIGHT!



Earlier today, the shopping district of Subeta was rocked by turmoil as a debate raged on between two shop owners: Tobias of the Toy Box, and Dolly of the Candy Shack. I was able to determine the source of the turmoil in my exclusive interview with Dolly this afternoon:

“Tobias thinks he’s SO cool running the toy shop, like it’s somehow BETTER than my candy shop. I mean come on, no stupid toy is ever going to be as awesome as getting a whole box of CANDY for Luminaire!”

At this point, Tobias interjected:

“Dolly, you are the stupid one. Like candy would ever be better than toys! Candy is gone in like, 2 minutes but toys can be played with all Luminaire! “

“Pfft, your cheap toys always end up broken in 2 minutes, and then you’ve got a broken toy AND no deliciously full belly. Sorry not sorry, but candy is obviously the winner.”

“There’s only one way we can settle this. You want to snowball fight for it?”

“HECK YEAH I DO!”

I bravely tried to petition for a cease snowball, but it seems that these fierce titans of industry cannot be reasoned with, though I did get them to agree to a set of rules in order to keep the frostbite at bay! As well as battling for honor, the two shopkeepers are willing to give a few prizes to those that help them out.





For participating:
• Team-themed achievement and title

• 3 retired Melody’s Cottage items

• Trow Trophy for your profile!


In addition to the participant prizes, the winning team will receive: 

• 2 retired Melody’s cottage items

• A special winter themed wearable

And that's not all! You can also win a team-themed item from your own team’s captain if you manage to throw a certain amount of snowballs over the course of the battle. The top 10% of snowball throwers from either team will also receive a special achievement and title!


To find out more and to join the fight, I’ve been informed to tell you to GO HERE!

There is also now a Luminaire forum for you to find potential targets! All Luminaire threads have been moved there, make sure to only hit members of the opposing team! Also, you can only be hit by snowballs if you choose to participate in the fight!

Who will rise victorious and who will get the cold shoulder? Only time will tell!

I know it's meant in good fun, but after the violent and frightening world news in the last few days, the wording of the beginning this post was startling and not in a good way. =S

The shield is not 100% effective, especially if you get hit 75 times in an hour.

Awen - You have to participate and be a part of your team, otherwise you don't earn that prize :)

Earned for having more than 14 snowballs thrown at the end. Why is this number so low D:

So the counter under the prize we got for choosing a team, is that supposed to be counting only the different types of snowballs we threw, and is there actually a bonus to throwing all the different kinds? (Not risking it, throwing them all anyway even if there's not or this is unintentional :P)

Thank you so much for putting the events at the top of the page, the random user button, and also making it easier to buy snowballs. You guys thought this one through!

Is there a reason that not all of my snowballs count (even when they hit and were not reflected)?

So if we don't join a team nobody can hit us with snowballs at all? Odd. I love the icy snowball. That's too bad.

introvert - Right, it's averaged. If Dolly has a bunch of members who haven't thrown a snowball, or have only thrown 1, that'll bring the average down.

Ah, averaged I see. Interesting. ...That means all the people who joined Dolly cause it had a slight lead in participants assuming she'd win based on that have kind of screwed over Dolly's side. (I joined cause I preferred the necklace to the sled...) She's gonna get the people looking for an easy win who throw maybe 2 snowballs, which means her side's average will be ruined. I've already thrown at least 30, but now I kind of wish I'd sided with Tobias. Damn it. That special secret sauce better be strong...

Wait wait wait. Dolly's team has more members AND more snowballs throw, yet still has a lesser score.

Something doesn't add up here.

Love this, but it would be nice to not get an event everytime you get hit. That's going to clog stuff up and may make us miss other pings. Otherwise, this is fun!

I was literally just thinking the same thing. I hope the winning team is based off of average snowballs per team member. After all, two people throwing 200 snowballs is way more impressive than 300 people throwing 201 snowballs.
