SNOWFIGHT 2025

SNOWFIGHT 2025 - LET THE CHAOS BEGIN!

Winter has officially arrived in The Hive, and with it… an all-out blizzard of friendly mayhem. Grab your gloves, shake off the frost, and get ready to pelt fellow Bees with virtual snowballs while dodging incoming attacks with real-world jumping jacks.

This is a fast, silly, high-energy community event meant to get everyone moving and having fun. The more you dodge, the more snowballs you get - and the faster the snowstorm grows. Jump in, tag friends - and strangers, and see who can survive the flurry!

HOW TO PLAY

1. Everyone starts with two snowballs .
2. To attack, tag someone using @Username and throw one or two snowballs at them.
3. To dodge a snowball, do one jumping jack per snowball. Can’t do jumping jacks? Do side jacks instead.
4. Each snowball you successfully dodge rewards you with two new snowballs to throw back.
5. You have 24 hours to dodge any snowball thrown at you - after that, it counts as a hit.
6. The entire fight happens in this thread (keep all throws here!).
7. Not sure who to tag? Check who’s online at the bottom of the forum page.
8. Bring in as many Bees as you can - the bigger the snowstorm, the more fun it gets.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• It’s absolutely okay not to respond if you don’t want to participate - just ignore the tag.
• If you prefer not to appear in the “online” list during the event, you can enable Invisible Mode in your forum settings.

Once you join in, don’t forget to claim your SNOWFIGHT 2025 participation badge in your profile!

That's another 14 dodged

How about 4x @JesseW @KaylaKhann @MangoTux @Miss_Dada @Jaga @Melnazar and @Antheia & Colossus

 

[JesseW]

Ahhh, that's what I was looking for. A good dozen jacks.

Oh. Plus 4 more from @Maegaranthelas .

Now, that's 32 to gift.

So, obviously,
11x to @KaylaKhann

And similarly:
5x to @Maegaranthelas

Oh, and the other two kind providers of snow need appropriate recompense:
2x to @Jaga
graoumia gets a pass due to not being able to carry snow on an airplane. ;-)

... and now I noticed that @DahMagicMan gifted me with 3 more. Now dodged.

OK, well given the number of my comments Mr Magic has appreciated, I must obviously offer:
6x to @DahMagicMan

So that leaves me with 14 more...
2x to @MangoTux -- I continue to be impressed with your profile picture.
2x to @Fanta -- hope you are enjoying your first snowfight!

And the last 10 can be more spread out:
1x to @Princess Fancy
1x to @Nightg0ddess
4x to @Antheia & Colossus (2 for each of you)
1x to @Elocin
1x to @lizita

Ooh, it's on! I almost don't want to go to sleep now, but I plan on playing tomorrow too, so I kinda have to . I'll pick this showdown up in the morning - until then, here's a parting gift:

×12 @JesseW

Some favors to return...
×4 @lizita
×4 @Maegaranthelas

Now, for the other 10:

×2 @AquaMarie
×2 @vulture1930 -You did not go unnoticed

×2 @Melnazar
×2 @MangoTux
×2 @neilarey - I'd say it's about time I paid my respects to the host

 

[Jaga]

Dodged! they're waiting in the freezer for tomorrow to share.

 

[JesseW]

OK, 7 more to dodge... plus the nice round dozen from Kayla.

Nineteen jumping jacks was ... surprisingly easy. Interesting.

Alright, that's ... 38 to distribute. I think everybody is getting at least three at this point.

OK, first of all:

13x to @KaylaKhann (on a nice long ballistic trajectory to give you plenty of time to sleep and deal with them in the morning)

Hm, that leaves me with 25 -- maybe I'll give out bunches of 5 each.

5x to @Melnazar
5x to @AquaMarie
5x to @vulture1930
5x to @NightTigress
5x to @DahMagicMan

 

[Lady Shepherd]

After waking up to an incoming assault of snowballs and then dodging, I have 23 to throw:
3 each to
@luuutscher
@Maegaranthelas
@graoumia
@MangoTux
@JesseW
@Nićifor

This leaves me a few in reserve....

 

[lizita]

Good morning all. Only 28 to dodge this morning. I remember back when there were squats instead of jumping jacks and I woke to around 150! Glad we changed to jacks! But these 28, plus the snowballs I had leftover from yesterday, give me 70 snowballs to throw! So watch out.
