Aaand we're done!

Not scam, even I won one giveaway!

Hope everybody had as much fun participating in our event as we had during creating it! :3

As promised, here you can find archival google sheet, probably it's a bit outdated as we used it initially for cooperation between eachother, while some special places and other things were added in very last hours.

Hope you join us in future events! :3


Lastly, in case you missed awesome flash animations made by Vaati, you can check all 3 below:

https://touhou.justarchi.net/custom/Cirno

They were included in Moriya's Shrine

Very neat way of hiding giveaways if you ask me :3.


It's that time of the day, Touhou Giveaways will celebrate it's first anniversary at 18th February. Because of that, we're also making another awesome event for SG community, which is open for everyone and will include some really neat giveaways, including AAAs. Prepare your points, you'll need them.

Many things have happened during that year, although most of them are probably unknown to non-members of SG, so there's really no point in listing all of that :3. Dem 2hu memes

Let's sum up, we already had a train, a visual novel, cirno simulator, cat simulator one, two and three... I wonder what is next.


Touhou Giveaways Anniversary Event


Rules

  • Event lasts for 3 days and includes variety of levels, from L0 to L5.
  • You're going to visit the magical world of Gensokyo.
  • Gensokyo is a dangerous world, with many different creatures - both friendly ones, and hostile ones. You'll need to be patient and careful to deal with some potential dangers.
  • We prepared a map for you to help you not get lost - map. This will be your best friend for the next few days. I don't know, maybe you should even print it on paper, so you can add routes you spotted, places you already visited and so :3.
  • There are 24 core places that you should visit. All of them are marked on your map with proper names.
  • There are 26 routes that connect those places together. We had more detailed map with all routes on it, but we lost it somewhere... Don't worry though, every core place lists available routes to other places, so you can manually add those routes onto your map!
  • Every core place in addition may include some special places, including encounters with various humans, youkais and other creatures. Those places are not listed on your map, but they're easily accessable from within the core place itself (e.g. Touhou museum in Human Village).
  • Routes are not always simple. You may not encounter anything when going from A to B, but you may indeed find a danger when coming back from B to A. Do not assume that the route is safe, even if you safely passed through.
  • You start at Human Village, a safe place with no real danger. Feel free to wander around, visit local places (such as the museum), and get along with the game.

Tips

  • The Gensokyo world is really complex, in order to find all available giveaways, you'll need to visit every core place and follow every route both from place A to B, and B to A.
  • In addition to above, you'll also need to visit every special place in every core place.
  • There are also many encounters on your way, again, to find all possible giveaways, you'll need to approach the encounter in every possible way.
  • There are also many hidden secrets, which you can find through your journey. Not all of them are easy to spot, some include a redirect to our external Touhou website, some link to itstoohard puzzles, there are even some SGTools-powered giveaways. Take it slowly, read through the story, spend your time on it and have fun, this way you can be sure to reach giveaways which might go unnoticed by other people, and trust me that it's worth it :3.
  • Beware of bears in the forest!

Start the journey and remember - Take it slowly, read through the story, spend your time on it and have fun!

It would be really funny if you could consider leaving messages for other adventurers in giveaway comments, so we could achieve even better effect!


With help of ArchiBoT, I'm posting some event stats:
Total number of giveaways found: 251 (+⑨ hidden giveaways)
Total number of points needed: 3214 (+X from hidden giveaways)

Hidden giveaways are those which can not be achieved by following a link. They require either going through a third-party external website (such as Touhou Giveaways, itstoohard, SGTools) or are hidden by any other means, e.g. in the description of some giveaway itself.

I'd say that hidden giveaways are actually easier to spot than every giveaway in that damn forest.

But I like how it's done, it's challenging :3

I noticed at least one good end.

I mean, people tend to make more bad ends, because it's supposed to be a journey, but still I saw at least one good one made by Zaraxis

Congratulations on a well made, stellar, event. I hope somewhere you have a tally of all the people you led to their deaths. The falling lava was the one that got me... always thought the floor was lava.. not the ceiling.... Oh well. Good/great/wonderful job! Thanks <3

Like Wizzard said, we started around 10th Feb, with all rules up, explanations given, and reservations for core places, routes and special places. Around 13th we closed reservations, if there was anything to take left then Madu probably took it, then we had 4 days of setting up everything, fixing fuckups, dead links, dead places and more, 17th Feb was testing day + last moment for everybody to set up special places, hidden secrets and other things, we had everything ready around ~3 hours before start, but main journey which is core places + routes were ready a day before launch.

It seems that visitors are lacking in pureness and strength... Those who do have those qualities might want to travel the Muenzuka to Road of Reconsideration route...
