Happy Hanukkah Everyone!
I have never heard of this before so I'm like, the newbie on the block. LOL I'll have to do more reading, but it also sounds like I'll have to do more fire hatching as well. I don't know what to expect of this, but I'm sure it'll be a learning curve of fun involved. Thank you for thinking of our Jewish partners and friends for this event. It is so nice to see a website addressing Hanukkah as well as Christmas. And points for completing the scavenger hunts in coins as well? Is this in addition to the 1-4 points per finished task or in place of? I'm fine either way... just curious as this is my first go round with this event. For now, sadly, I have a room to clean up. Especially if we want to show off a tree this year. Ugh and oye! -------------------- |

You will still receive the normal Prize Points for completing Scavenger tasks -- the coins are simply in addition to it.

Had I known this would eventually come back, I would've held off with my shiny hunts. There are only 2 fire shinies I haven't gone for yet!
But still... Flame shards, prize points, coins - this is the perfect storm! -------------------- |

Thanks for that 4-1-1, Zerxer. I appreciate it. I can't wait to begin vying for coins and being inspired to complete the scavenger hunt. This all sounds exciting! Kudos!

Glad this is back, I can go for Gen 6 fire shinies I don't already have and the elusive female shiny charmander.
I'm sure someone will beat my most coins in a day record this time around. I had much more time to spare in 2012 This post has been edited by Silberchen: Dec 6 2015, 04:50 PM |

I was inactive when this event took place in 2012, so this is a nice surprise~
Also a good way to complete the Flame Plate. -------------------- |

I've just gained over 1,200 ranks with only 9 coins. Maybe they should be weighted less in the calculation of total ranking?

I'm actually going to make Coins not count at all for Rank since they're event-specific and will be turned off again like before. -------------------- Want a rotating avatar like mine?

Holy moly, I only mentioned this yesterday in the Community Thread...! Such exciting times! It's a very nice touch to do the scavenger hunt early as well, since everyone's normally too preoccupied with other things to go and get Pokemon to level 70+.
Thank you so much for bringing this back! -------------------- I claim Wolfguard (yes all 4) and Jeorge (FE11 & FE12) and Soren (FE9 & FE10) If you're bored...~ Avatar: Jeremiah 'Orenji' Gottwald. Nuff said. Support me on NaNoWriMo and Fanfiction! Owner of: GPX+ groups (click to show ) |

How do you get coins? Find a bunch of Fire-Type Pokemon Eggs and hatch them. -------------------- |

Curiosity question. Sorry if the answer is obvious, but, is there a way to check out who has the most coins for the day? I was just at the Stats Page, but perhaps I wasn't looking at the right tab or place?
*EDIT* Never mind. I just switched tabs and found it. *blush* Sorry. This post has been edited by Mamanator: Dec 7 2015, 11:29 AM -------------------- |

So the four options for dreidel results are -4, -2, 0, and 4 (using the default 4 coin option)
This means that the average result from rolling the dreidel is a lossof, on average, half a coin per roll. Where is the incentive to roll the dreidel? |
