On the 27th, the Christmas event came to a close. The stockings they collected could finally be exchanged for rewards, and many players were awaiting midnight on this day.
Though the members of Team Demeter tried to maintain a good schedule, special moments like this needed special attention. With all these stockings, how could they sleep well without getting their rewards as soon as possible?
Teams, main accounts, side accounts, all with a whole stack of stockings; not even they bothered to count how many they had in total. It didn't matter, because as soon as midnight arrived, everyone brought at least two accounts and began to squeeze over to login and claim their rewards.
TN Jouissance: Mistake in math here by Butterfly Blue… He says that only 40% of players, at most, can get rewards because it was 20 pairs of stockings split among 50 players, but that’s only for a single round. So long as each character can play 3 or more rounds, “at most” 100% of people will be able to get a reward. “At most” assumes that a) all players play as many rounds as possible to maximize the total amount of stockings spawned and b) stockings are split among people so that as many people as possible get a pair of stockings (so on a 1:1 basis at first, one player one pair of stockings). So if in a single round the stocking to player ratio is 20:50, then only 40% would get a stocking. But in 3 or more rounds, there will be more pairs of stockings than players, because the total number of players in the event doesn’t change, but the number of stockings increases threefold, making the ratio 20*3:50 = 60:50. That means more stockings than players. So, at most (meaning that each person gets one stocking), 100% of players can get rewards (since we can’t over 100%), if three or more rounds are played. But, tbh, this doesn’t affect the plot, so who cares.
TLDR by NomYummi: 9 rounds - 180 stockings possible - 50 players - there are more than enough stockings for each player to get one stocking, so “at most”, 100% of players will be able to get a reward
