Snowball Fight Prizes

December 26, 2014 5:39 pm

Dolly and I have finally put together all the prizes for our snowball fight. It wasnâ€™t easy getting all the random melody items together, but we did it!

Are you curious to see what you got? Make sure to visit us to get your goods! Youâ€™ll be given your participation prizes, your team prizes if you threw enough snowballs, your super cool trow trophy, and if you were on my team youâ€™ll get a cool winter background! The top 10% snowball throwers also will be awarded their cool achievement.

Hope everyone enjoyed the fight! Happy Luminiare. :)

If Dolly has 2,828 members, then the top 10% are 282 people; if 282 people had thrown the 5,745,964 total snowballs Dolly had all by themselves, each would have had a score of around 20,376 snowballs. 38k?</p>
<p>Maybe I&;m missing something.

That's actually a good point. Even if you factor in both teams, it still comes out to around 20k apiece for the top 10%, and that's assuming the other 90% didn't throw anything. That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Big Ol Pile of Snowballs ^ Name of the background

So glad I didn't put a lot of time and sP into this event.

December 26, 2014, 6:10 pm by

What is the background called?

Boo, I got 25k snowballs with no achievement but hella good for those 10% to be throwing those snowballs. Congrats to you guys and the winning team!! You did great! :)

The lowest score in the 10% of throwers was 38,332.

Wow. My 16k didn't stand a chance. So that was a waste of sP. :P

December 26, 2014, 6:08 pm by

I guess the top 10% are everyone from the highest amount (like 44k?) to the highest amount-10%? But i think some three more so thats probably not it. Sounds more like only the top 1% got it.

...So yeah disappointed that I didnt get the achievement, 18 k wasnt that much but I hoped that it would be enough D:

The idea was cute though, I also finally got the snowball achievements, so yeah %D

Wow, you scored 1125 in the snowball war! You've got 3 random melody items and your team prize in your inventory!

I don't feel as guilty for my low numbers now. Not thrilled with the prizes, but I'm pretty relieved that I didn't miss out on a ton of cool stuff for not participating as much as I would have liked.

Great fun...thanks Team Subeta!!!

i feel like the prize structure would have benefitted a bit more from a tier system on this. i threw 16k or so snowballs in the process of the event, having learned way too late that i was nowhere near the top 10%. if i'd known that, i wouldn't have contributed as much as i did, and probably stopped after the 50 or however many i needed to get the team prize. in either case i made out the same, which is discouraging, to say the least.

i dunno, it was a cute idea for an event, but in practice it pretty much just worked out to be an autorefresher exercise. probably would have been better suited to a two day, weekend event, especially considering the rewards.

^^;;;;

December 26, 2014, 6:01 pm by

I made it to 10%, I CRAI SO HARD!

I thought its impossible for me ;-; Thanks for the prizes even though we lose xD

December 26, 2014, 5:59 pm by

If my calculations are correct, the top 10% all spent over 53 hours straight throwing snowballs Now that's some dedication, haha! Congrats guys!

Thanks for the lovely background and sledge :)

December 26, 2014, 5:59 pm by

I really hope you set up a feedback form like you did for a previous event. There was so many things that needed to be changed if this is held in the future.

December 26, 2014, 5:59 pm by

already had 2/3 melody items i was given in my wardrobe, 3rd was a plushie so it's likely i've had that at some point, too. well, that was certainly not worth the 27k snowballs thrown LOL. gj to those who made the top 10% though.

December 26, 2014, 5:58 pm by

question, why are some people getting 5 random melody items and others 3?

December 26, 2014, 5:56 pm by

I'm confused, 4768 people entered so 10% would be 476. If only the top 10% threw snowballs and all threw the same amount then the cut off would be 20700. As the bottom 90% also threw snowballs and some of the top 10% have thrown more than 20700 the cut off should have been below this amount.

I don't know why the cut off is therefore around 38K.

December 26, 2014, 5:55 pm by

Thank you for the prizes ~ ^.^ ~

December 26, 2014, 5:54 pm by

Hm. I didn't really expect to make it to top 10% myself, given the sort of numbers I was seeing on the boards, but the cutting point feels rather curious to me.

Maybe I'm missing something.

December 26, 2014, 5:54 pm by

I love the cute background!

December 26, 2014, 5:54 pm by

Wow, you scored 48131 in the snowball war! You've got 5 random melody items and your team prize in your inventory! And you've got the Big Ol Pile of Snowballs for being on the winning team! And you were in the top 10% so you've been given an achievement and title!

December 26, 2014, 5:54 pm by

Legit probably the worst prizes for an event xD

December 26, 2014, 5:54 pm by

Got top 10% with 47k but got the 3 crappiest melody items worth 50k sp...Ok.

December 26, 2014, 5:53 pm by

Disappointed that I got a random MM item from this year and I didn't care for any of the other 4, but I love the background and the sled! So I am happy. Although after throwing 8000 snowballs, I feel like I spent too much time on this refreshing event, so I can't imagine what the people who threw thousands more feel.

December 26, 2014, 5:52 pm by

Thanks for the concrete number, that's really a lot more than I expected.

December 26, 2014, 5:52 pm by

I'm sorry but those prizes don't make up for the millions of sp and time spent from throwing snowballs.

December 26, 2014, 5:50 pm by

Wooooo! Awesome, thanks! Happy Team Tobias won, it was an amusing event. Went on a little longer than I cared for, but it was fun.

December 26, 2014, 5:49 pm by

Thanks for the fun event Subeta. :)

December 26, 2014, 5:49 pm by

I threw over 48K and was in the top 10%! :-D

December 26, 2014, 5:49 pm by

Wow you had to throw relatively 40K snowballs to get in the top tier? Dang, some of you Subetans are pretty dedicated, I'll tell you that. Congrats to those that got the achievement! :D

December 26, 2014, 5:48 pm by

The lowest score in the 10% of throwers was 38,332.

December 26, 2014, 5:48 pm by

lol the prizes are so crap

December 26, 2014, 5:47 pm by

Ah, makes me wish I had thrown more snowballs. At least I have some items to sell. :)

December 26, 2014, 5:47 pm by

Ooopps! I got the necklace too. I guess "prizes" was not supposed to be plural for some :)

December 26, 2014, 5:47 pm by

Thanks for including the number on the trophy, I like that. :)

And I'm really wondering how many snowballs you had to throw to get the achievement, considering someone with 21k didn't get it.

December 26, 2014, 5:47 pm by

We used Melody items that were rather expensive, so you might get an item or two from this year (such as those multiple use items ;))

December 26, 2014, 5:47 pm by

Aww the Big Ol Pile of Snowballs is adorable! Considering I only had time to throw 480, I'm completely content with my prizes :)

December 26, 2014, 5:46 pm by

I just changed the text to clarify, the "other items" is your team / special prize for being on the winning team / etc. It's clarified and clearer to read now :)

December 26, 2014, 5:46 pm by

How is a Warm Winter Cardigan from THIS year a retired item :(

December 26, 2014, 5:46 pm by

*Correction 38k, so I'm assuming you had to have 40~45k+?

December 26, 2014, 5:45 pm by

Thank you! Wonderful!!

December 26, 2014, 5:45 pm by

I got the old Melody items, but I don't think I got the "few other prizes" it's saying? Or was that the Sweetie Cane Necklace?

December 26, 2014, 5:45 pm by

- We laid out the prize structure at the start, this was meant to be a small thing where participation was absolutely optional. Sorry you didn't get in the top 10%!

December 26, 2014, 5:45 pm by

"You've got 3 random melody items and a few other prizes waiting in your inventory!"

Just out of interest what were the "few other prizes" supposed to be? I only got the three Melody prizes and nothing else. Is this what I was supposed to get?
