Read our brief review of the Black Friday event, including how many sellers didn't turn up, who hit the top 10 for unique customers, and how much the NPCs sold!
Torn's Black Friday event went ahead without any major hiccups last week, with over two hundred sellers turning up alongside Torn's NPCs to sell off items for just $1 each.
Of our 239 registered Black Friday vendors, only 22 failed to meet the requirements we asked in return for a Donator Pack. To receive a DP, sellers simply had to sell at least 20 items with a regular total value of $10m to five unique customers. Some of those who failed the task simply forgot to turn up, whereas others didn't sell enough - one player, Killerworm, decided to use his slot to sell lottery vouchers at a $20m price as part of a lotteryscam scheme. Who won Killerworm's lottery? Why Killerworm, of course.
But stories like this were few and far between. The vast majority of sellers seemed to revel in providing their customers with $1 bargains, with many enjoying increased regular sales as a result. As ever, a few greedy players tried to take advantage of the event by using scripts, but many of these were banned automatically by the system or manually by our NPCs after their exploits were uncovered. We hope to further improve the 2022 Black Friday event to catch even more of these players and ensure a fairer distribution of $1 items.
In addition to the Donator Pack prizes, we also promised to pay out Stat Enhancers to those who attracted the highest number of unique customers. We initially planned to offer prizes to ten players only, but seeing as we had a tie for 10th, we've added one more prize spot in there. Here is the list of the top eleven sellers:
1st - Park - 494
2nd - Monarch - 488
3rd - Octavia - 486
4th - Smokey123 - 367
5th - Jubsu - 301
6th - Gem - 295
7th - Defectus - 289
8th - Adsyedge - 287
9th - Mojojom - 278
10th - Deadringers - 267
10th - Fitzy - 267
Congratulations to all the winners. A single Stat Enhancer has been paid to those who placed 4th to 10th, with 4, 3, and 2 SEs paid out to those in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It's just a shame our NPCs weren't eligible for these prizes, as The_Hamster would've kicked everyone's asses with a total of 642 unique customers. Here's how many individual people each NPC (and myself) managed to sell to.
The_Hamster - 642
Duke - 442
Sugarvalves - 372
Leslie - 367
Tiny - 307
Fernando - 280
Jimmy - 157
We don't want to reveal exactly who managed to snap up the best NPC items during Black Friday, but I can tell you that among the items given out were Duke's Rheinmetall, Tiny's Sledgehammer, Fernando's Poison Umbrella, a Snow Cannon, and a frankly ridiculous quantity of Stat Enhancers and Cesiums. Overall, the NPCs collectively sold a haul of items valued well into eleven figures on the item market.
If you were a participating seller this Black Friday and you'd like to see how many unique customers you logged, feel free to click this link here. If you are listed in red on the leaderboard tab and you haven't received a DP, this is because you failed to reach the stated requirements. Feel free to contact me to find out why.
