Why didn't I get the explosive cake?

[Ride Jib]

My syndicate members said they didn't have to do anything other than log in yesterday to get it. I logged in but didn't. What were the criteria for this giveaway?

You mean you didn't even bother turning-up for the party yet you expect us to have kept some cake back for you????? Shocking attitude!

[out of names]

It accidentaly exploded on the way to your hood

[Smarty Pants]

You clearly ate it and forgot it about it shortly afterwards......chunky.

Which event did that little cake come from?

[Gatorade]

No event - it was a freebie to mark the 2nd anniversary of the Gree takeover

Incorrect. CC is two years old. Gree only took over last year, before the 1 year anniversary.

[Gatorade]

I stand corrected!

Was there a first year present?

[bald zeemer]

I think it was a ~60 stat gun.

[Gatorade]

Was the Thanksgiving Turkey explosive a consumable? I've seen it in various inventories but always at a count of 0 (I had just been assuming it was a freebie too)

[bald zeemer]

Yes, it was consumable. It dropped in PvP during a PvP event (same deal with snowballs, toilet paper and footballs).

[Gatorade]

I'm surprised they didn't do that with the birthday cake too. In a way it would have made more sense. Instead of everyone getting it rendering it virtually meaningless, as a consumable you have a risk-laden opportunity to punch above your weight - maybe for a big rob or something.

(Realise this is not relevant to the upper echelons, but for the majority of average Joes)

[bald zeemer]

The old PvPs were based on number of wins, so dropping high-stat consumables created more activity. With the point system the consumables would make the payouts go crazy.

Also, the old events tended to have a moderate item for a small set number of wins, a slightly better item for a larger number of wins (usually one that required very moderate, but above 0 gold expenditure) and a top 10 prize.

There are way more prizes now (obviously with much, much higher stats).

I'd love an old-style event again, but I can't see it happening.

I got my cake ok ;)

Ha, that's funny, but I am enjoying my Explosive Cake. Very tasty.

Was there a first year present?

The first anniversary celebration was actually made into an event as opposed to a pointless item giveaway (give everyone the same item is the same as giving nothing to anyone).

Top 25 big earners won a prize, top 25 people who attacked the largest number of DIFFERENT rivals got a prize, the top 25 who did the most jobs got a prize, and there was a more complicated robbery portion of the event too. It was supposed to be a top 25 thing too but the wording was too vague and it ended up being (almost) top 50.

All 4 categories of the event had different prizes, and each prize had a modifier.

The cake is a lie!
