Hi. I was thinking maybe we could pay to restore the count back to where it was before we forgot to click and got back to day 1? Like say we are at day 259 and forgot to click. We could have the option start over from day 1, or pay (like 100k, or 5 csc let's say) and keep the count to 259 and go on from there. I am not sure I explain myself exactly, but I think you get it :)
Maybe, but how can it work, really?
There's an Achievement attached that would be different in difficutly by a lot if we did this if you could pay your way. It should set the Achievement count back to zero if you do this, and it should put the prize cycle back to day 1 of 30..
Or we could retire the current much more difficult Achievement so those who have done it still have bragging rights for having done something difficult, and start up a new Achievement for users who have a lot of sP.
sP sinks are always a good thing. Either way the price should be more than ten times higher at least because even at the early levels in the cycle the Batthouse gives out more CSC than the cost listed in the OP. The purpose of this Achievement is to get folks to come to Subeta everyday and you can earn the amount originally Suggested by breathing doing a few quests. This won't make users who might be linclined to miss days want to make an effort in their mind to come and play every day if it is so easy.
As always when this comes up, no support.
Bathhouse prizes are rare and valuable, CSC, referral points, crypts pts, etc, and I just don't think it should be made any easier. As it is its a simple button click. Every day. That's not asking a lot.
I've missed because I was sick, and I've missed for sheer inattention. Both were crappy, but it happens. Many people have missed for reasons they couldn't help (weather, internet and/or power outages, etc), it sucks but that's life.
The only time I think one's streak should be maintained is if the site itself is inaccessible and they have done that.

I was thinking as a one time option only, as it happens one can be sick, power failure hence no comp, being on the road, anything. So you're allowed one time "fault-pass" and to make it more acceptable to everyone, even get a penalty, like next 3-5 times no reward? Or up the cost?
i'd only support this if we had to pay a substantial amount of sP to recover our streak.
Tell you what I see two possible ways I'd support this: Option 1 - add a tier to the bathhouse, say 1000 days and add a "free Pass" prize. If someone works that long and that consistently I'd say they deserve their free pass. Option 2 - add it as an option on the loyalty totem. They need a replacement for the pet name option anyway. I would prefer a pet related replacement, but I'd be okay with this.

Definitely don't support this as a "whenever you want it" sP sink, because the days that we get CSC are very predictable and it would be too easy to exploit for endless CSC.
Yep, agree, in fact sounds even better :)
That's why I said "one time option only"...
Isay a free pass every so often should be a thing, its cruel if your internet goes out or you are in hospital and cannot get on just that one night. Its expecting also subeta is up all the time, which it isn't sometimes it is down or so slow at times when i can get on , but if I cant get it then i miss the whole streak? ts so disheartening, Ive actually left for months when this happened...bc it felt like I threw my time into the trash over one mistake. maybe there can be a achievement that is for NOT using your free pass, if that bugs people so much (i mean I get it but its really frustrating to have it be so close and lose everything into it
I recently lost my streak, but that was my own mistake. Now I hope that they don't add more tiers to the achievement, or if they do, it doesn't go past 1000 and is retroactive for people who have made it to that before but lost it since then. But I would only be desperate enough to want to pay if they did add more tiers that went past 1000 and/or can't be rewarded retroactively.
I also sort of hope for confirmation that they won't add more. As others have said, sometimes you lose it for reasons beyond your control.
As far as I know, this is why they made the dailies page with the bath house as the very first option. You can even just bookmark the actual bath house page. That won't help with not being able to make it to the site for a day, but it will help with forgetting.
Amber has said that ">she won't add any tiers above 365 days.
I lost my longest streak during a hurricane, and I think the site should have a reasonable streak-recovery policy to cover natural disasters and other emergencies.
Sure, but where do you draw the line between Hurricane and "I forgot"? There are a wide swath of emergencies and natural disasters. What counts and what doesn't? Frankly if I lost my streak through no fault of my own, but was judged as not "serious" enough to recover it and someone else got keep theirs, I'd be even more butt hurt over it all.
Then there's the issue of proof. What's to stop me from lying to get my streak back? How traumatizing is it going to be to have to prove that you were affected by some disaster or emergency? And how much personal information, you may not want to reveal, will you have to give?
What about continuing disasters like wildfires? What if I'm forced to evacuate because the fire is getting close, then we're allowed back because the wind changed, but a few days later we have to evacuate again? What about power outages and continuing loss of internet service following a hurricane or other natural disaster? For how long is this streak-recovery policy in effect for any one disaster and is it a certain number of days in a row - does it count or not if you have intermittent net access?
How do you make a policy that is fair and reasonable for everyone?

Well, I know where I'd come down on this question, but I also know that my view of 'fair and reasonable' is in the minority around here.
So I'll propose this instead: Bathhouse rewards are on a 30 day cycle -- with lower prizes (Rubber Tutani, etc.) near the beginning of the cycle, and higher prizes (Golden Glory Scratchcard, 50 CSC) near the end. Have an easy, no invasive questions asked, moderate sP, way to reset a streak to the first day of a group of 30. (For example, if you broke your streak at day 75, you could pay some sP and get put back to day 61 instead of having to start all over at day 1.) That way the prize cycle still resets, but the progress towards a year-long achievement can be salvaged at a reasonable cost.
