we're currently on 1,264,400,000 goo... where's our first prize???
We need 5 billion for it. We can do this! We survived whacking day... so we can do this. It may take the majority of the event but we will get all the prizes :D

What you are not taking in to account is the game is played globally, so on-peak hours happen constantly because it's always 3-7pm somewhere.
You misunderstand my point....
You're right on me missing your point (my bad) and the server thing as well (as I see it). You make some good points.
Mind you, it's all conjecture unless somebody actually sits down and records the GOO increase over a (or several) 24 hour period(s). My observations are purely anecdotal.
I have been observing it since the beginning and doing the calculation to see what this increments are at every 12 hours. 2 days ago we were roughly around 3500 per second yesterday (12pm Central) we were at 4500 per second, last night around midnight (Central) we were around 5000 per sec, and I just did it again (10 am Central) it is around 5600 per second.
What I am doing its using the iPhone camera to take enough pictures to end up with around 10 numbers. Getting the difference between each number and calculating the average of the numbers. Basic statistics work.acheeanthony wrote:

Anybody else notice the steady (approximate) 500/second increase every 12 hours?
Thanks for doing the research! We should have a pretty fair idea how automated the system is/n't within a few days.StormBringerCell wrote:
as of 12pm CST the counter is running right about 1 million per 3 minutes.
that would be about 2 days per billion points.
so 7 more days until the first item. If it is going to be 5 billion per items we would need to have the count increase about 30% over the next 3 weeks to be assured to get all 5 items.
If the rate increase i have observed continues at this rate we will have the 5 billion well before 7 days.worldpattern wrote:
It's probably just an automated counter to make you think the community is contributing, but really they just have predetermined dates each of the prizes will be unlocked. I wouldn't worry about all of them unlocking by the end of the event, especially since it's 5 weeks long.
This.
Oh and if it is in fact determined by true community contributions, you need to take into account the dropoff that will happen when people start getting their 10k and stop putting as much effort into the event.- We hit the 1 billion mark yesterday around 5 pm Central time and a few hours away from 24 hours later and we are already at over 1.6 billion. If my calculations are correct we will hit 2 billion some time tonight or tomorrow morning. And 3 billion within around 24 hours from that.

Does anyone know if the first prize is just a skin for the Lard Lad donut shop? Cause if it is, thats a bit of a slap in the face to people that dont have it.
According to datamines it's a new building.
that's what I've been thinking. Everyone keeps saying it will be a skin like Heck House is but why can't it just be a separate building and not a skin- I hope that giant * ends up walking around town.
- i really only want the first 3... the toad thing looks ugly... and the building is too big to fit in with my SF....
i dont think it's likely we can do it, i asume they'll be worth donut after if we dont get em. - I really only care about Lard Lad and King Homer
