Loll I was first with a score of 10,000 for a whole five minutes. xD The trick is that as your score gets higher, each successful sneak nets you more and more treasure—but getting caught also loses you more. xD

I don’t know the exact drop rate off the top of my head, or if that’s information we’re allowed to give out, but it’s certainly fairly low. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s one of the quests that most people don’t finish up - which we expected with a few of them that rely more heavily on chance. I would probably focus on the others first unless you’re really determined, though!

(psst, faire is not an accepted word for spellstones… which i found out while trying to complete the “a cunning challenge” quest, haha)

Thank you very much for the accessible event screen. I appreciate it as I’m having a bit of a hard time with the graphical version this time around.

At the risk of ruining any surprises, could I get a y/n if there are any easter eggs that are only visible/clickable from the graphical version? I know there’s been stuff in past events and I don’t want to miss out.

Take a screenshot of it in your inventory - I will see if there is a way we can look into/confirm it, but even if not, I feel like the chances of that drop are low enough that I would hate for it to go to waste.

No surprises!

Thanks a lot, I’ll do that, and if by the end of the event I luck out and get a second one, I’ll replace the screenshot with an easier to verify one! <3

It was really fun watching Battle Brawl being drawn live! Even if you lose in Round 1 it’s so entertaining to go on watching it hahaha. I really appreciate the extra touch *u*

Edit: punctuation failed me OTL

It restarts every day, so every day will be a completely new drawing - from what I understand!

Edit: Edited to expand… I believe a new winner is drawn every single day. So the rounds for the next drawing will be completely separate from today’s events.

Gosh this is Big Mood for battle brawl:

oh! i thought it was one fight per day, with the winners choosing a new weapon each day and going up against each other again (repeat for each day)... i was sitting here last night planning my long-term strategy, haha! nice to know i can keep participating. thank you!

FlyingSquirrely Thanks for the heads up. It looks like something is wrong with it… I will look into what’s going on and we’ll figure out what to do from there. Stay tuned!

Edit: After checking through the logs I can confirm that the rankings as displayed by the little scoreboard here are correct, and that you did indeed emerge victorious in day 1 of the battlebrawl. The bad news is that I now need to figure out what’s wrong with the (excessively complicated) live results display system and fix it before noon tomorrow. I’ll keep everyone posted!

Edit2: Fixed! It turns out it was a relatively straight-forward problem, but one that would only crop up under very specific circumstances, which is why I didn’t notice it during testing. Under these circumstances, the results table display code incorrectly confused the number zero with “there is no number”, resulting in the wrong name being displayed in the victor column. Thankfully, your battle in the first round was the only one in the whole brawl in which those circumstances were at play.

Thanks again for letting me know so that we could catch this early!

Myla I don’t know how feasible this is for glitch to code, but since we do have the link-based page and past events have had events that linked directly to posts made in threads (ie some spelling event with extra challenge words for the green ghost avatar bg), could we combine the two? Like the links to the main thread remain as they are, but there’s a link to a user’s entry posts. (I know I’m finding trying to find where my specific post is frustrating, esp since it’s not going to be in my recent posts due to the sheer number of posts made for the adventures.)

Or just if there’s some kind of estimator on the page that shows how many points each item is worth, and users can check off or enter their own completion rates so as to get an idea of how many points they do have? (Maybe with a disclaimer because maybe some entries might not meet the effort requirement.)

Overall though, we as users don’t know how the backend of this looks like, are staff going through the pages and tallying each event like that or are they tallying for each user individually? I assume the former, but most systems we as users design are probably going to be based in our perspective as users.

I can’t answer all of your question, but I can answer the last bit.

At the end of the event, I will be going through and manually tallying all participation in the forum games. This is also how I do the Creative Collective participation - I just pull up a spreadsheet and go through and tally participation from each user. It’s a little time consuming, but overall faster than relying on players to submit their own forms and essentially “grading themselves,” which I did not want to do in this case, as I wanted Faire Tickets to go out ASAP after the closing of the event.

That feeling when you accidentally click the “High Risk” button in risk/reward and get away with it. :O

Is Boney’s vision ok? I feel like he may need to see an eye doctor…

As long as you’re using the correct number of items total, you don’t need to list them in your costume entry. I’ve found that it helps me to keep count, but it’s not required!
