Charity Corner 2019 Official Thread

[Menine]

Sometimes I forget to start it again - my Internet times out occasionally - but by and large, as long as my PC is on, I'm running the script.

Tbh CC is probably not going to be worthwhile, especially since the "rare items" this year according to the editorial are going to be awarded randomly when redeeming prizes, rather than donating.

I'm personally aiming for just 10k - I'd like the top tier prize, especially if it's a nice wearable. Apart from that, meh.

PEARL, OMGG! I told you before that there's no top tiers anymore, but I just realized that I was wrong! Last year they awarded the Practical Construction Handbook (which is 100k now) to people with 10.001 points (the requirement to gold trophy last year)... I made the mistake because I was thinking that it was the prize in 2017. So I'm sorry, but I just told the same thing to my friend (that there aren't prizes anymore) and he proved that I was wrong. :/

I posted this in Odd's auto-donator thread, but I figure i should also post this here...

I was bored and did some number crunching...

Please log in to view spoilers.

I intend for this to be something to help people decide how long they are willing to leave the script running, how much to stock up, how much to spend, for next year.

Salutations. It's been mentioned that Avatar Goldmine gives a 30% increased chance of getting several avatars including the Snowager-Rawr! Is this increase to 30%, where there would be a decent chance of getting it, or increased by 30%, where at its something like 1 in 10000 chance of getting it, the increase wouldn't even be noticeable? Thank you.~~daemonschile
If you check out the updated FAQs, you'll see it now says that the exact increase in probability is yet to be revealed. While we were going for a 30% increase in probability, we are yet to finalize it, and we will provide greater clarity in the FAQs once the exact numbers are finalized.

Hello TNT, I would like to ask you to reconsider the points conversion rate for players whom had leftover points from last year�s charity corner, many through no fault of their own! It was mentioned in a previous editorial that players� points wouldn�t be deleted but only being able to redeem 1% of their points is just as good as deleting! I beg you to reconsider this ASAP before the end of this year�s charity corner. Thank you so much for reading.~~amymunro13
We acknowledge our mistake from Charity Corner 2018, in not communicating the spending costs and caps earlier - as a result, some of you (0.6% of the players that participated, to be precise) set incredibly generous goals for yourselves! Your points were so much higher than the player average, that we could not possibly offer similarly priced perks for you to be able to use up your points. (There is no way we could offer 25+ weeks of daily positive random events - that�s 6 months! - or 25+ years of increased bank interest.) Thus we were not left with an equitable way to reward those who went over and beyond in 2018 and for that we apologize. This year, we have set some caps in an attempt to be clearer what you can spend. But as the theme of the event is de-clutter, we generally welcome clearing out of items you don�t need.

So this is the whole reason we wanted to do at least some carry over of points - we considered various alternative solutions and finally, we felt it best to allow you to spend a token portion of points in this year's shop. This reduction had to happen in one form or another irrespective of the solution we chose. We agree that the portion you carry over is intentionally small. But it is still enough for some free perks.

We took definite steps towards avoiding a similar situation this year, and therefore offered a preview of the perk shop so that none of our players are left feeling shortchanged this time.

We would also like to add that the carry-over of points was a one-time exception - we do not intend to allow points to carry over from one event to another ever again.

.... well that's some bullshit right there, mary

Is there a script that auto buys the sticky snowballs every 30 minutes?

So, they're punishing players who put in extra effort because they're too lazy to come up with a proper solution?
Not surprising but the fact that they just casually toss out the 'nothing we can do' excuse is pretty irritating, even though I wasn't around for last year's CC.

I think it's a wonder they did anything at all for those with too many points last year. Jumpstart does a lot of stupid stuff but that doesn't seem bad.

The problem is that so many people donated so much that even if they used up all their points to get EVERY prizes, there will still be quite a bit of leftovers. The majority of the prizes are shit in the first place so not everyone would get them. The good prizes are mostly limited to one time purchase. This is not the players fault. This is their fault. They should have carried over everything from last year to this year especially considering the fact that they raised the points needed to get those good perks for this year.
