Comments on Spring Whiffling Raffle

I would love to enter for one of these precious kiddos

My favorite scent... I thiiink it's lilac flowers? I'm not 100% sure what kind of flowers they were, I just know my mom would occasionally have these tall clusters of tiny light purple flowers that smelled really sweet but weren't overbearing. I also have a soft spot for the smell of peonies because my grandma used to have a little garden with them in her back yard.

One thing I'd like to see in the group, for either species' currencies/items/etc, is probably something like more little participation prizes for events. A bit of ink or bottlecaps or something for putting in the effort, like the last stage of the Lost Records event. Honestly I really liked that tiered reward format, where everyone who met [Minimum] requirements would get a nice little prize and those who met [More] requirements got a nicer prize, on top of the raffle. The raffle-only format can feel a bit exclusive depending how much time & effort it takes to obtain tickets, since the vast majority of participants won't win anything at all. That said, take this with a grain of salt bc I haven't been in paralogos long enough to participate in other events and I'm coming in from Mothcats which has a very different in-game economy (many more currency sinks to balance in mcats). It's still early in the introduction of whifflings so I'm not sure if the fae/devilish upgrades, breeding, or any other new species-specific systems will introduce additional bottle cap sinks, but that might be something to consider if you haven't already (if you have, then you get a gold star for being on top of everything! building & maintaining cs stuff is hard work).
Other than that, I just really enjoyed the different stages of the Lost Records event, so I'd definitely be down to see more bite-sized scavenger hunts & puzzle events in the future.

Thank you for your detailed thoughts ie suggestions! Definitely the events have had varied prize distributions, but we are looking into what we could do as smaller award type scenarios as we bring more 'sinks' into the game. You would be correct in assuming that we have a very different game economy, our smaller items tend to revolve around redesigns and that's not what many would be interested in. Bottle Caps are (without unexpected additions) by nature going to have many more sinks (breeding would be one!!), but without additional work the Paralogos side is lacking sinks. This comment did provoke some good thoughts... so stay tuned for future ideas!!

So happy to hear you had fun though all the same. =D
