So horrifically time-consuming for these events.

I mean I'm a lvl 4 and been throwing the bombs at lvl 1 and getting 10 points. You can raise your stakes by gambling, but I am reading a book and clicking, throwing all the water bombs at the NPC that posted this thread.

I mean yeah it's possible to accomplish the thing, but are you... having fun? Is it fun to have to click a button THOUSANDS of times to get the rewards?

In my simple (and apparently crazy) opinion, events on pet/game sites should be, you know, fun. Not tedious and costing you literally days of time.

I get where you are coming from, and can understand some frustration, but I know that KofK is a tiny group, and the era of forum posting has long since passed. When they lost the games I realized how hard running a site can be. But I am glad they are trying to keep this site alive. And I like the fact it isn't the exact same system each event over the year- doughnight is free, collecting food by posting in fall.

But ironically I am having a bit of fun, only because I did find a wild Critter and can post with them. That will eat up some time while we throw water balloons at each other.

I'm not sure who called your opinion crazy, I don't really get that vibe from the replies so far. I think it's valid. You don't like the style of this event and you voiced that opinion. Totally fine, all rights to do so.

As for me, I don't like posting heavy events like the monthly visit of the candy caravan. I find those much more time consuming and less fun.
I find it much easier to squeeze in a couple of throws during the day without getting bored or annoyed.
And yes I'm actually having fun even though I'm just clicking a button once in a while ^^;;

The waterbomb throwing event is a, compared to out other event types, rather new event type, one I came up with, because some people were complaining about the previous types of events, like posting events or collecting popup events. So this was already my attempt to try something different for people who said they would not enjoy the previous events. I am sorry it is not working out for everyone.

It would help me more if, instead of telling me that you do not enjoy this kind of event, people would give me specific suggestions about what kind of event they would enjoy instead, because I am afraid I am out of ideas that are within our possibilities.
