I said it before, I will say it again, and I will keep saying it until the end of time - Firn and Starkard, you are amazing! :mclove:
This event is SO much fun! It's great for all types of users - posters, lurkers, people who spend all day online, people who can only pop in for a short time each day, people who can stay for a few hours on weekends but can't log on during the work week...it hits everyone!

It is so amazing how you two are trying to constantly come up with new ideas to accommodate everyone!

For the big posters, we have posting events, we have the monthly GOTQ giveaways, and we have the monthly Candy Caravan! Plus, you can earn food points and coupons by posting!

For the lurkers, there are popup events like we had for the Spring Event this year. There's also popup materials and popup fairy encounters, as well!

For those who really enjoy the games, there are harvesting events! There's also two flash games on the site, an entire forum dedicated to word games, and loads of avatar games in the Avatar Forum!

For those who were originally drawn to this site by Firn's lovely Knuffels, there are knuffel digging events! You can also dig up materials to use for special quest items, special limited digging items, and food points! Not to mention limited time event knuffels, and all of the wild knuffels and wild knuffel items you can collect!

For those who like dressing up their avatars best, there's the Official Monthly Avatar Contest, the DAC, and tons of event items, limited items, permanent shop items, troth token items, MTs, TTs, digging items, wild knuffel items, and quest items to choose from! There's also a charities forum to help new users and old get hard-to-achieve items and currency, and user-run events like the weekly avatar contest in the Collector's Corner that award prizes for dressing up your avatar, or creating dream avatars, based on a specific theme.

You two work so hard to make this site the best it can be for every person here. And I don't think you get enough recognition for all that you do!
So, thank you Firn and Stakard, for another amazing event, and for continuing to be the best site owners in the world!

For some reason, whenever I try to hit Kitalpha Hart with a water bomb, it says "You cannot throw a Water Bomb at this user." :/
Are there certain users that you cannot throw Water Bombs at?
In case it helps, Kit was at Rank 3, and I was at Rank 4.
This is the only user I've had this problem with so far.

You cannot throw waterbombs at users with the same IP (though in this case I don't know why starkad made it so, as this is not type of event where throwing waterbombs at your own mules would do any harm. Maybe it's left-over coding from an older event). Maybe you and Kitalpha Hart have a dynamic IP - These get assigned by the internet provider whenever you connect to the internet and if someone else has the same provider, it's possible that he got assigned the same IP at some point in time.
But that's just a guess.

Edit: I looked it up and yes, you and Kitalpha Hart have been logged in with the same IP a couple of times in the past.

Lol, that's funny because I think I water bombed my mule once... Not entirely sure, I've hit a lot of users :mcargh: But I think I did bomb my mule or the other way around. You'd think we have the same IP, but maybe it's because I used different browsers?

Anyway, I've also had this "cannot hit this user" message, but I think they were 3 ranks up, so I assumed it's just how it is. (I think it was on my mule tho)

Thanks for the info, Firn!
I have to admit, I don't know enough about dynamic IPs to wrap my head around how Kit and I could have logged on from the same IP at one point, but I trust you! :D Thanks for clearing it up!
And now, to add researching dynamic IPs to my reading list!

I love this new summer event. I'm enjoying the way it's set up and that it doesn't require you to post. I love seeing everyone's levels and love the concept of a water balloon toss. The items this year are wonderful.
I haven't been super chatty, but I had to stop in and let you know I'm really enjoying this event! :qstar: :qh:
