Team performance is entirely based on statistics in three areas: yarn donation, snow collection, and posting during the event. The more active you guys are, the better your team does! Dig buckets of snow, donate yarn to Channah, and post around the forums to get your team's statistics higher on the charts - and bury the other teams!

Mr. Mayor has not yet revealed what the winning team gets.... other than bragging rights, of course. ;)




Overview
A basic review of how the event works.
  • Yarn Balls = Used for Event Commons
  • Snow Buckets = Used for Event Item Rares

  • Yarn Balls are collected by visiting Greed and Channah.
  • Snow Buckets are collected by posting or digging in the Snowfield.

  • Channah needs Yarn Balls. Donate to her to make the scarf.
  • Greed will give you Yarn Balls. Donate to Channah or spend them in the Event Store.

  • Unused Snow Buckets and Yarn Balls will carry over day to day until the end of the Event.
  • However, unused Snow Buckets and Yarn Balls will disappear after the Event is over.

  • A team's performance is based entirely on the combined statistics of: posting, donating yarn, and collecting snow.

Q. How long will this event last?
A. Until approximately 6pm Central on January 3rd.

Q. Where are the event clues?
A. There are no event clues. If you have buckets of snow to trade to Mr. Mayor for the snowman, he'll give you gift boxes. That's all there is to it this time. :)

Q. Can you collect Snow Buckets by posting in all forums or only in the event forum?
A. You can collect them in all forums except the Word Games forum. :yes:

Q. How many Yarn Balls can you earn per hour?
A.You are able to earn 6 Yarn Balls per hour as long as you remember to visit Greed to collect them.

Q. Can I buy or trade Yarn Balls or Snow Buckets?
A. No. You'll have to earn your currency on your own! But you can donate your Yarn Balls to Channah!

Q. What time does the next event item rare come out?
A. We're currently aiming for around 2pm Central Time Zone, but this may vary due to unforeseen circumstances. Just hang tight! :)

Q. Can the rate of Yarn Balls be increased?
A. No.
You are not meant to get every item from the Special Event Store for free - these Yarn Balls are the equivalent of party favors. You can use them to purchase items for free in the event shop or give them to Channah to help create the scarf. Remember, even if you give the yarn away you can still buy the items with gold at half-price until the event is over and the items will be available for full-price in the regular stores afterward.
