I have never formally joined in on the Luminaire festivities, but I do remember throwing the occasional snowball when one landed in my lap. However, I get an error when I go to the snowpault. I see there might be a snowball war going on between two NPCs, but I can't figure out how to join. Also a TL;DR guide on luminaire may be needed as well.

Apologies in advance for the newbish question, for I usually play subeta for a few weeks then go back to multi-month or year long hiatus when school or work kicks back in. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer while I do my yearly relearning of the site.

The snowtapult opens for the entire winter season, not for Luminaire. It's not winter until the ~21st

Thank you kindly!

Yeah there will probably be a news post once it opens, so you haven't missed anything yet. :)
