Hey guys, weāve decided to add an additional clause to the Winter Festival. If you submit an entry to a participation-based event late, you will be subtracted one light orb from your reward for each day itās late, but still earn the remainder. You also wonāt be able to participate in any popular votes or competitions (ie. speedrunning) but you could still get some light orbs back for your efforts.

A few updates! Near-full participation for the CLANNAD Movie, Your Unlikely Ship has been processed and voting is in progress, full attendance for Naze da, with Buff Busters winning and Vitamin C scoring a bonus orb for passion, and full attendance for Emoji with Team Happiness securing the win. 100% Orange Juice kinda failed because Chocomint and Buff Busters didnāt turn up, so we only awarded 2 light orbs to Vitamin C and Team Happiness for attendance.
With that said, here are the totals!
Chocomint: 42
Buff Busters: 43
Vitamin C: 54

Ideas Iāve just had over the month, for next time.
- Event: Record a 30 second recap of a Key route or episode of an anime. Humor and showmanship goes above accuracy.
- Have a number of events grouped, and you canāt get scored for all of them. Ex. We have a group of 5 different writing challenges, but you can only be scored on up to 2 of them. It counteracts min-maxing and opens up more stuff like pay2play games.
- Have some form of long events that stretch the whole month. I wasnāt thinking huge projects just because you have a lot of time. I was more thinking something that can be made leisurely in small increments. Ex. Which teams can make the most progress on a Stardew Valley farm; Who can climb the most in AMQ/Osu/Overwatch/[I have no idea what games people play these days] etc. The kind of stuff youād do every day anyway. Can maybe make it something productive like, who can pick up a new skill or get into some good habit.
- Think up a blue shell, AKA a negative feedback loop that punishes teams who are way too competitive and get too far ahead.
