Gaming Week starts now!

They'll usually announce it a decent bit before it happens, as long as you check back semi regularly (once a day or so? maybe twice, once in the morning and at night?) you should be more than safe to catch the announcement of when exactly the restock will happen (assuming there's an announcement giving the date and time again)

 

[Khaelis]

Quick question since I'm blind as a bat and can't seem to locate an answer: When is the drawing for these tickets going to happen?

 

[LambdaDelta]

anyone else notice how pinky is the only arcade collectible that lists its release event+year in the description?

That's a nice catch, never noticed it before!

 

[Sweetley]

I really hope there is going to be another restock, I would love to grab an Invader. :/

Staff promised a restock or restocks and there hasn't been one yet so you should have a chance! c:

 

[toadsworthy]

We also have no idea when it’s going to end sooo

 

[LambdaDelta]

probably sometime before new horizons' release

 

[Sweetley]

Thanks for the restock, finally got my favorite collectible. Good thing that I didn't go to bed 5 minutes earlier...

 

[Blood Eclipse]

Thank you for the restock!! So glad I was still up. ^o^

 

[Holla]

My patience was rewarded. Managed to get the other collectible I’d been wanting. ^_^ Thanks staff!

 

[shawo]

Do you know when the 5 raffle tickets for collecting all 18 tickets will be distributed?

I'm just not sure about it so I thought I'd ask for an update, I'm not even really sure how to check if I have it.

Thanks a lot for hosting this event by the way! I had a lot of fun!

 

[Jeremy]

The shop will be closing Thursday night (EST) and the raffles drawn shortly after. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we'll distribute placement bells and have a closing post with the compiled list of winners from all of the events!

Gaming Week Completionists
These members were able to complete the very difficult task of earning all 18 tickets, which means they will be given 5 extra Final Boss Feather raffle tickets:
toadsworthy
shawo

All bells have been distributed. Please make a Contact the Staff thread if you think you may be missing any bells or tickets. The bonus feather raffle tickets mentioned above will be added to the list before the winners are chosen, so they won't be seen in your inventory.

Special thanks to all of the staff who helped host the events!

As this was our first Gaming Week, please let us know what you thought. Future Gaming Weeks won't have the Arcade, so they'll have to focus even more on console games. We tried a few different new things that can be made even better in the next one.

Don't forget that the Shop will be closing tomorrow (Thursday) night, so be sure to spend all of your tickets by then. The raffle winners will be drawn shortly after.

 

[toadsworthy]

will those raffle tickets just be put in our inventory?

thank so much! I thoroughly enjoyed this event and how close it made the community feel. Loved playing splatoon nights!

 

[Raayzx]

I got first in something and I feel accomplished. Thanks you again staff for hosting the event!

 

[Alienfish]

Thank for the week. I really enjoyed Arcade as an alternative way to earn tickets, though if you do future one, something on-site that is not required to have a Switch should be included, not everyone got/can afford one etc. Yes I know it's a gaming site but either implement another arcade thing or eg. include Pocket Camp as you did for the Halloween/xmas events

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Thank you for the event! I really appreciated being able to earn a nice prize for myself despite the fact that I didn't have a Switch. I'd actually never played the Arcade before, as the Fair in 2017 had so many other fun things to distract me with. It was an overall relaxing way to pass the time.

 

[Valzed]

A lot of forum members couldn't participate in most of the events, myself included. Many don't own a Switch, don't have Switch Online, or own the games needed for the tournaments. While I was recently given a Switch for Christmas I don't have Switch Online nor do I own most of the games. The Arcade was okay but considering I could only have earned 4 tickets I wasn't interested in playing.

To me this was the least inclusive, least exciting event since I joined TBT and considering the Arcade won't even be around to be an option in the future I'm not really looking forward to when the next Gaming Week rolls around.

 

[Alienfish]

I agree with Valzed, and I kinda miss the fair where you could do lots of things (even though the staff faves could be better at some points) since you didn't need to prioritize games if you didn't have it and still earn big moolah. Though I understand it might need more preparations I don't think it's good to have that few options for non-owners...

And yes I know I have a choice to enter things or not so inb4 that, it's not the point here. Also I think anyone who got at least something right from trivia should have gotten one ticket considering how spammy it is honestly. But good work otherwise and gonna be bit sad Arcade will left behind :3
