(Something to do while waiting for the Hole)

There has been a lot of hype and talk about visiting the Advent Calendar and getting a random event. There has been previous topics here about the subject, though I could not find a recent one.

Test results so far: of the 45 people trying on 10/24 at around 10 PM

30 people got one random event in the first 10 refreshes
44 people got one random event in the first 50 refreshes

0 people got two random events in 50 refreshes
0 people got two random events in 99 refreshes

Anybody wishing to add to this test, feel free to post.
I have a TON of screenies from this!

MOST COMMON:

A CLOSE SECOND: Battledome challengers like the snow beast or lava ghoul.

My FAVORITE? Icy Negg ... a retired item!

I got one after 14 refreshes, it was about a bruce saying something, I don't know what though, because I refreshed before I could read it. -.-

HOLY CRAP! It's really true!!! On my 12th refresh it said "Wow! You have found a Christmas Paint Brush!"

That's worth at least 99k, and more if I hang on to it until Christmas. I can't believe it!

I have no patience and will probably sell it though.

I got one on the 15th refresh at advent calendar at 11:50 odd pm.. (ice treasure), nothing more up to 50, will go up to 99 now.

Edit: Nothing more, went up to 99. Won't try the outfist straight away.

Grats for the Paint brush, I wish things like that happened to me. ;.;

I did 6 refreshes and got the icy negg! I don't have much time, so I'll get until 20 or so.

I went back a few minutes later and refreshed 20 times. A faerie said she wished she could play Snow Wars as well as me.
