when's the deadline for this thing?

We anticipate delivering the survey bells alongside the Luck of the Dragon prizes, so you have until at least the Closing Ceremony for the Lunar New Year event.

When the surveys close, will you publicly discuss the overall survey responses like usual?

I didn't put this on my survey as I only thought about it today, but for event activities maybe it would be good to have several activities but only up to a certain amount of them can earn you currency/participation prizes? For example, you have four activities (eg physical craft, acnh screenshots, online game like mario kart ig, and digital/physical art), and you can participate in all of them, but you'll only earn currency for two. This would mean that people who don't have the access to group gaming can have the same opportunity to earn currency as the person who does, and vice versa for someone who doesn't have the means/ability to make a physical craft/art. Idk if this has been tried before and found to not work or disencourages people from participating, but it's just a thought I'm throwing out there

That's actually really smart!!!

For that to work they would have to redo how the shop works. Otherwise it's going to cause more problems where members can purchase even less collectibles. As things are now, you can't buy every collectible on the shop even if you do all of the events.

I agree with this idea too. I remember the 2024 TBT Fair priced certain prizes way too high. If there is a cap on how much currency you can own, there wouldn’t be any reason to price a collectible over 192 tickets (which requires participation in everything).

I would also like the staff to start confiscating event currency if they get rude towards the staff or others on event-related issues. This includes impatiently asking when currency distribution will happen.

The 2024 TBT Fair was the event that needed a survey the most. But we didn’t get one. So I hope all future fairs have surveys.

Do people at least get a warning?

Let's not go there. People are just asking since they're worried the shop will close before they get a chance to earn their points and buy the collectible they want. If it wasn't for someone asking why their one entry wasn't accepted then I and a few others wouldn't have gotten our tasks accepted either because staff actually did overlook a portion of our entries. Mistakes happen.

I think that's a little too extreme

For TL;DR on what @-Apples- said, they are basically suggesting that if you say one peep about the tokens, you get all of your currency taken away, get disqualified and you become a loser.

I never meant to be draconian. Sorry if I sounded this way.

I mean, it’s one thing if you ask when will currency will be distributed, but if you repeatedly do it, or do it when it’s not reasonable, I would think it’s rude. It’s also rude to say stuff like “you’re overdue, hurry up with the tokens”. Even so, I would suggest partial confiscation of currency for stuff like that (like you lose 3 tickets for being rude). Also, not all acts of rudeness during an event should warrant confiscation. If it’s about the event, and you’ve been rude about it, that’s where currency can be confiscated.

That makes more sense.

About the requests of more events without competitive activities (the ones without staff favorites), I do not want the Bell Tree Fair to move into this. Taking out the contests and/or staff favorite activities from the Bell Tree Fair would ruin the fun. It’s not a bad idea to have more events without activities like this, but the TBT Fair, Halloween, and Christmas events should have at least one of these.

Imo on the Christmas event, everyone should get a prize since it is the Season of Giving after all But if you want extra prizes then yeah there could be contests/competitions.

They usually do when they host them. They have a 12 day advent that you can only open on the day of. Sometimes it's tbt, extra event currency, or a collectible. But you have to remember to open it that day or you miss your chance. It's really fun and cute.
