Of course I am alright with that XD But me being an active poster is a minor factor in my approval.
The donuts are supposed to be random, so they can happen even to people who don't post that much.
And this feature will be a huge plus for busy people who tend to miss the CC because of some events. That way they can collect the donuts even when the CC isn't here.
And I suppose the chance to collect the donuts outside of CC might potentially bring more people to just post more, becaus ethey don't have a designated time to collect donuts. They have more agency over collecting them.
So yeah, I think it's a great idea :qcute: What do you think? Are you not happy about this feature?

I don't know if I like it too much. Probably people will stop being active during the caravan for sure now :mcheh: I was always enjoying that surge of people being around, and the feeling of achievement of talking a lot during that time. Now I feel a little sad that I won't be able to say "I got all those donuts during the visit" because I will have extra ones too.

Aw, but the donuts without the caravan are random, the ones during the caravan are a sure thing, so that's still an advantage for the caravan time! Hopefully :mcheh:

Edit: I just got a message about a coupon and the look of the coupon really fraked me out because it's new :mcargh: #bunnyheartattack

Not sure about if this idea increases the number of posting outside the CC event.

Currently for posting you get food (as always) but too ramdonly cards, ramdonly appear catchas (materials or pillows), and now randomly donuts.

And do not forget that you get 10 :ttok: just for conecting to kofk.

If all this can be get without just for conecting or slow posting, it will affect to CC activity. In fact, in last CC I have posted less than others because in Avatar Talk some hours just nobody post nothing.

If this is the trend, can anticipate that probably in the future, just for 1 post you will receive, food, cards, pillows, materials, donuts, tokens... and so many items that you will need scroll the screen to see all.

Exactly my thought. People will say, "well I'll just see what random donuts I get" instead of actually trying during the caravan. Eventually,
hardly anyone will be active at all.

Guys, don't forget the random donuts outside the caravan are a reward to active people :mcheh: And I'm sure Firn won't ever decide to make things too easy, she's already regretting some things.
I think it's a "let's try this and see" from Firn, because she's really trying to encourage people to post more, so the site will get more activity and therefore maybe new users will stick for longer than they do. I took a peek at the newbies welcome forum, and found 2 people who registered in October, logged in for a week or so and then they are gone since then so.... It's not a good sign. We may be a very warm community, but there's not many of us and so new users see no activity and get bored easily I guess.

Food through posting: Sure, but it's enough if you have many knuffels that give you tons of food in many ways, we have room contest trophies that give out food every day. There's simply too many ways to get food without posting and so there's not much demand on regular food these days.
Tokens: many people think it just takes too long to get to the 10 tokens daily. I forgot to log on Asherin a few days ago and I'm back to 1. Plus it's not only that Troth Tent items are very expensive on their own, I'm not sure anyone buys them anymore, but we also get expensive (45 each nowadays, oh gosh) monthly token items and it's just a bit too much hassle for some. They don't care about tokens. Maybe it's the items that aren't as interesting, Idk.
Coupons, Captcha, they don't happen too often if you're not active much. But it's also just an addition to taking care of your knuffel or getting materials. The better way to do it is to just dig for mats. And Idk how many people actually use coupons. If they do, they probably just buy them in Daycare, because they sell items for ginormous food.
Donuts will also be random, just as the coupons and captchas, so I suppose the biggest chance to get them is for active people. Unless they are fairy-random, then nobody will ever get them :qt:
My theory is, people will try to post more for random donuts for this month, then they will stop again. Firn is trying to increase the forum activity becasue the Candy Caravan is not enough anymore. It used to make an activity boom for the first few months, then it got back to normal basically. So maybe the incentive of "you can also get donuts outside of the caravan, if you try a bit" is the thing Firn is trying out. You can't really blame her for trying, can you, if the Caravan itself stopped being of help? I surely did notice there's not much of a bigger activity during the caravan, haven't you?

I get those points, but the point of the caravan was to increase activity. If it slowed down for a couple of times, the answer for me is not to give in and let people get donuts at other times. That just means the effectiveness of the caravan is diluted.

The way I see it, and Firn had admitted this too, the problem isn't just with activity levels of current players right now, it's with bringing in new people. More activity = more people tempted to stick around.

Psychology tells us that people won't post more just because of the promise of maybe getting donuts. They will post less during caravan times instead, because they feel they can now win donuts whenever. There's likely to be a very small surge if anything after the announcement and then back to normal, with no improvement for the caravan.

Plus two new things are being tried for the caravan at once, which isn't a great practice for testing, as any A/B tester or continuous improvement specialist will tell you.
