It's December! The rather bitter 2016 is finally ending, but not before we get to enjoy some of the best holidays the year has to offer.
Being an adult without children, I've found Christmas hasn't really meant all that much to me anymore. The best part of the holiday now is simply the nostalgia... remembering what it was like each of my childhood years, the family I rarely ever see now, and the traditions I partook of. The last twelve months, as the Bounsweet in this season of South Park have shown us, have been filled with different types of nostalgia, and bookended with Star Wars releases. With that in mind, I propose we go out with a nostalgic bang. Sun and Moon recently had an incredibly successful launch, and we're working hard to get all of the new Pokémon added to GPX, but let's not forget how most of us felt when we played those first games while watching the first season of the show. I'd like to hold tribute to the original 151 Pokémon (...or at least the ones that are easily obtainable). The Hanukkah event
Additional information on the Hanukkah event (click to show ) Scavenger Hunt This month's Scavenger Hunt will start mid-month as always, running the entire second half of the month, but you'll only earn 20 coins for completing a task once the Hanukkah event starts (so the 23rd to the 31st). Explorations The two Christmas explorations, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "Secret of Christmas", have been activated and will run through the end of the month. Secret Santa Exchange We're finally doing this again! Feeling nostalgic? I know, I know, we did it last year... but that was the New Year's Exchange, totally different. This will happen over Christmas weekend, and I will post additional information around that time, but it'll work about the same as last year's New Year's Exchange... hopefully without any of the same issues. New Year's Raffle It's been so long since we've done one of these! The way this worked on New Year's 2012 was you'd have a day to be as active as possible, and for every 2012 points of Activity Score earned, you'd get one entry. We then handed out a certain number of legendary eggs, and you'd have a chance to get one based on the number of entries you earned. I'll post more information about this later, but since Hanukkah ends on New Year's Day, it may be based on your Coins instead of a single day's activity. Stay tuned! I'm feeling festive so I may try to have some other surprises for you all this month! We hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season, no matter which holidays you celebrate, and I'm sorry if yours has never been represented by GPX -- you still matter to us! -------------------- Want a rotating avatar like mine?

This is practically the only chance for the more casual members for a shiny legendary. I hate to say it, but we're talking about the top prize of a once-a-year (sometimes even less frequent) event. It's not exactly something that "casual" players are meant to be able to achieve if they're going to stay at a "casual" level of activity. Yep, but they have a chance. A lot of work for ten days, and they can get that one shiny legendary that they have been dreaming of. If only the 12 players with the most coins get the shiny legend voucher, they don't even have that. This post has been edited by DraconicDM: Dec 24 2016, 03:17 PM -------------------- |

If only the 12 players with the most coins get the shiny legend voucher, they don't even have that. You can be a casual player, summon a legendary with an item and get a shiny. The site works with putting effort in, you get results. So if you really want to try and get the top prize, you've really got to try. e: In regards to the cut off points or how high they're 'rise the mark', we don't know until the event is over so that's more than likely when it's decided. Just remember regardless of however many coins you get you'll still get a prize ![]() This post has been edited by x Sam: Dec 24 2016, 03:41 PM -------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [align=center]--- ![]() Community Thread Shiny List! ---[/align] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [align=right]Breeding Incentives: Mission Cards ![]() ![]() |

I just feel that with the "top x" type of rewarding, a lot of people won't even have a chance at the top prize. And I'm not really talking about myself here. (I'm at #29 atm, so maybe I even have a small chance of getting into the top 20) It just feels wrong to me if this event is not about everyone working together to hatch a bunch of old pokémon, but competing against each other for the set number of top prizes. It just... feels different... -------------------- |

It just... feels different... Well, you don't have to compete. Just hatch what you can and enjoy it, I guess. Besides, we can't just... give out the top prize to everyone. That really wouldn't be fair. -------------------- Check my GPXPlus journal to see what I contributed to the site! Interested in a commission? PM me. |

I just try to improve GPX+ in the ways I can. Mostly by starting, or continuing discussions like these. Before anyone misunderstands, I know it's not my place to make these decisions, but I feel that discussing them, and letting the admins hear the opinion of both myself and other people, can only help. I won't say that I wouldn't prefer if the prizes were distributed only according to the number of coins you have, unrelated to how many other people have. But I understand, that this decision is not mine to make, and I will accept whatever it will be. As a sidenote, if the prizes won't be the same as last year (or the requirements for them), I think it would help to reveal the details as soon as possible. -------------------- |
