Advent calendar 'sweet spot' test results

Mon Oct 25, 2004 6:55 am

(Something to do while waiting for the Hole)

There has been a lot of hype and talk about visiting the Advent Calendar and getting a random event. There has been previous topics here about the subject, though I could not find a recent one.

Test results so far: of the 45 people trying on 10/24 at around 10 PM

30 people got one random event in the first 10 refreshes
44 people got one random event in the first 50 refreshes

0 people got two random events in 50 refreshes
0 people got two random events in 99 refreshes

Anybody wishing to add to this test, feel free to post.
I have a TON of screenies from this!

MOST COMMON:

A CLOSE SECOND: Battledome challengers like the snow beast or lava ghoul.

My FAVORITE? Icy Negg ... a retired item!

I got one after 14 refreshes, it was about a bruce saying something, I don't know what though, because I refreshed before I could read it. -.-

Winter Random Event!!!
You have stumbled upon the great Ice Treasure of 323 Neopoints!!!

Got it on my 4th refresh.

HOLY CRAP! It's really true!!! On my 12th refresh it said "Wow! You have found a Christmas Paint Brush!"

That's worth at least 99k, and more if I hang on to it until Christmas. I can't believe it!

I have no patience and will probably sell it though.

I got one on the 15th refresh at advent calendar at 11:50 odd pm.. (ice treasure), nothing more up to 50, will go up to 99 now.

Edit: Nothing more, went up to 99. Won't try the outfist straight away.

Grats for the Paint brush, I wish things like that happened to me. ;.;

I did 6 refreshes and got the icy negg! I don't have much time, so I'll get until 20 or so.

Mon Oct 25, 2004 8:43 am

I went back a few minutes later and refreshed 20 times. A faerie said she wished she could play Snow Wars as well as me.
