Hey guys, weā€™ve 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 itā€™s late, but still earn the remainder. You also wonā€™t be able to participate in any popular votes or competitions (ie. speedrunning) but you could still get some light orbs back for your efforts.

I personally apologise for the lack organisation regarding the osu event. To make up for it, weā€™re offering everyone full attendance for the event. That way whenever echo decides to host it, you donā€™t need to stress about attendance.

Chocomint: 27
Buff Busters: 25
Vitamin C: 33
Team Happiness: 28

We decided to up the total for the Design a Key Character event to 4 light orbs per entry. Team Happiness also took the Podcast vote! Letā€™s see the results.

Team Happiness: 32

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 didnā€™t 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
Team Happiness: 47

Itā€™s Christmas eve! Weā€™re gonna be closing almost all the current events tonight in preparation for Christmas day, so people can relax with their families. But donā€™t forget to give Kaza a look, as we will have a couple of little things happening!

Iā€™ve already started planning for next yearā€™s festival, but if youā€™d like to be part of the organisation team for that event, just let me know and Iā€™ll get back to you! I want this to be an event driven by community members, so donā€™t be shy about applying.

Ideas Iā€™ve 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 canā€™t 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 wasnā€™t 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 youā€™d 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.
