Memorial Accounts

Hello Collectors,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this blog post for our community. A dear friend of so many of us has passed away, leaving the world a little less than it previously was. We have just been informed that ChucksGhost passed away yesterday – June 17th, 2020.

ChucksGhost

Chuck was an integral part of WallaBee and the community, being one of the first people outside of staff and testers to play the game. He loved the players in the community and actively worked toward sharing that love with all of you through trading his Uniques. His favorite number was #4, which he traded fairly for whenever he could. So many more words can be (and should be) shared about Chuck, but I’m currently at a loss for words. I’ll make a post in the forums in WallaBee chat so everyone can share their memories.

Additionally, we will have a new type of account for past and future players who have passed away: Memorial Accounts. Think of these accounts as virtual places of memory. Chuck left a legacy that we want to honor, taking his dying wish into consideration by returning his 4’s collect to certain players that helped build that collection. All Memorial accounts will retain all of their Uniques. Staff will occasionally move any unsaved Unique from their pouch into their set, but we ask that you don’t spam these accounts with Uniques and fill their pouch. For the present time, these accounts will show the same as normal within the app, but will have a new title added to the website. Itembrowser will also be adding this information to their website.

WallaBowl Results?

Hello Collectors!

We want to start by congratulating all of our teams for putting in some crazy effort toward this competition. 53,943 Strikes were destroyed, leaving only 2,659 surviving thus far! That’s a lot of dedication to create those glorious Golden Turkeys.

At the end of the two weeks, we expanded the number of item slots from 300 to 1000, but that still didn’t end up being enough for our clubs. Bravo! During the last weekend, we saw 3 teams rise to the top of the leaderboard for a 3-way tie (extra items past the 1000 limit don’t count). Part of this season’s competition rules was that we would not end it in a tie… so what are we to do but host a very special tie-breaker!

Bonus 11th Frame

Welcome to overtime… or what we like to call the 11th frame. The rules are very simple for this tie-breaker: There will be one representative bowling for your club’s fate.

Club Phoenix, Club Yeti, and Club Dragon will all send one player to represent their team. That player will be given 10 Basic Balls and 10 Ten Pins items to mix. The resulting items from those 10 mixes will produce the club’s 11th frame score. Whoever has the highest score from those 10 items left in their pouch will be crowned the winner.

To ensure fairness, there are some restrictions on who will be able to be your club’s representative.

  • BeeKeepers and staff will not be able to participate.
  • Your representative will need to remove all other bowling items from their pouch to help ensure there is no cheating.

Steps

As a club, decide who will be your representative. Create a new forum post to discuss this if needed. Once a representative has been selected, create a new topic called “Our representative is” in your Club forum and RedCarRobbie will handle it from there.

Points

  • Strike: 15 points
  • Spare: 10 points
  • Split: 8 points
  • Average Shot: 5 points
  • Gutterball: 0 points

Technical Rules

Should there be another tie, we will continue to add frames in this manner until teams get eliminated and a winning team is crowned.
The ten (10) items left in the representative’s pouch will be tallied when they submit their final scores to RedCarRobbie.
No special coding has been set up for this portion of the competition, so this is 100% based on RNG.
Special note: Average Shot and Split can be rolled in an attempt to earn a Spare, but can also result in a Gutterball. Is making that extra roll worth losing the 5 points?

Conclusion

This blog post will be updated with the names of the representatives, a link to the items given to them, and the results. Each item used in this 11th frame will have WallaBee Support as the gifting party so that there is no confusion on whether an item was valid.

May the mixing odds be in your favor. RedCarRobbie awaits
