2024 Summer Event: Pet, Item & Event Discussion

Ok in Cs defense, I come to Cs to turn my brain off. Therefore, I will allow trains and combustion engines to coexist. Also add my vote for time travel

-Scenery and cactus items from the Cactus Forest

Am I the only one who didn't realize that the cactus patch was an event zone and not just background? No? Just me?

technically trains and combustion engines still co-exist today so 😭 in saying that, take what Lacuna said as probable truth. its just a fancy sculpture that Flux designed! he's ahead of the game.

Has anyone found any rhyme or reason to the new bottle mini game? Obviously some of the bottles refuse to be knocked down, while others will knock down with ease.

Has anyone tried knocking down an un-knockable for all the 5 tries?

What happens if you knock down 0 or 1/2/3/4/5?

For everyone else's reference. I've knocked down 4 bottles, and won a Root beer Float. I knocked down 2 and won a Float as well.

So far, they’ve remained elusive for me. I’ve tried a few different strategies but it doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to which can be knocked over and which can’t (I’ve had bottles/cans I can knock over one round, then the next round those same bottle/cans can’t be knocked over), some of the mods have clarified it’s random chance. So far I haven’t seen any definitive proof that it happens on a specific amount, my working theory is that it may happen on 5 based off the text before entering the game “get a real bullseye and get a special prize” although I’m wondering if 5 either equals a 50:50 shot or if it’s guaranteed…

I think it’s really just random whether they’ll be knocked over or not. I have hit varying numbers of bottles down and got the same root beer float three times. and I only knocked over four bottles when I got one of the pets, so…..I’m not certain that there’s really a rhyme or reason to it.

The weirdest part is why is there a car in the outskirts of town?? What time period is this supposed to be lol. (And it looks like it’s from like the 1940s or 50s, no less). Is this the 1800s or 1900s, why are they just now getting the train if they already have cars??
I don’t expect the writers and artists to know everything about history or keep everything historically accurate, but don’t they know when trains and cars were invented? It’s okay but I do think it’s hilarious and slightly immersion breaking.

Thank you! I saw that and got super confused... If this is supposed to be the "Wild West" why is there a car? I'm even more confused because I don't see anyone else saying anything.

The first car came around in the 1880's, though they only started looking like that in the 1920's, so its not too wild that there is one. the fact that its here before the train it fully set up is a little odd. We could assume that it had be driven in recently by The Music Co op. They seem to be much more welcoming to outlaws than any long time resident would probably be.

To confirm and backtrack, in help/support forum for the event admins have confirmed it is 100% random. You will ALWAYS get a token. It doesnt matter how many you know down. You can get the pets randomly ofc too, again doesnt matter how many are knocked. No matter what you get a token, and if you get lucky you get a pet.
No skill, just luck. You could get pet from knocking one can, or all 5 as far as I am understanding from admins.

[Pallastronomy]

My only attempt that gave a pet was a 5/5, and all others have been tokens. As far as I know whether or not the bottles themselves fall is random, but getting the pet itself may be tied to a 5/5. If anybody has gotten a pet from a non-5/5 attempt and could correct me on this please feel free to chime in, but I think 5/5s are connected to pets even if the bottle fall rate is luck-based

I know its already been confirmed by other staff in other areas but just wanted to drop in here as well and say that the mini-game is entirely luck-based. There is nothing specific you need to do to get certain prizes. All the summer event mini-games operate on random chance so everyone has an equal chance of getting everything. Given that the site is aimed towards kids (and a lot of people play on mobile) requiring some level of skill/precision would put a decent amount of players at a major disadvantage, which we don't want to do.

I'm not involved in the specifics of the mini-game so I can't say for certain if there are specific prizes tied to certain outcomes, but just from what I've seen of past events I would not be surprised if they are (it would of course still be random chance regardless). Our past summer event mini-games have had certain prizes tied to certain outcomes before. For example, in the past the racing mini-games had a better prize if you won than if you got 2nd or 3rd (you got a pet for getting 1st place, or a few items from a set if you got 2nd or 3rd)
