Day one

And we're off! The news banner reads Team Points (i.e. challenges completed) but seems more likely based on the numbers that these are Event Points (the currency to be used in the Event Shop). This is the first year to have daily totals, the first in a long time to include a points shop (since 2007 I believe?) and also the first to have two different types of points, so some glitches are to be expected (as occured on Day 1 when the system showed people as being on different teams than they were, leading to some confusion).

Chibs have pulled way ahead in front with over 100,000 points between them and second place Jessups. Huthiqs are in third place with Snookles trailing behind. But it's only day 1 and there's no telling what will happen!

Totals so far:
Huthiqs: 3,950,994 🥉
Jessups: 4,006,465 🥈
Chibs: 4,124,627 🏆
Snookles: 3,692,484

Change from previous day:
Huthiqs: -32,612 (-1.637%)
Jessups: -74,843 (-3.668%)
Chibs: -170,227 (-7.927%)
Snookles: -52,486 (-2.803%)

Already the teams have evened out, with the three leaders within 18,009 points of eachother. Huthiqs remain relatively stable. Chibs, who had blazed out in front on day 1, suffer the biggest loss in motivation. Of course, some variation in motivation is to be expected, dropping as the event goes on. A month long event takes its toll and people drop out, lose focus, or simply can't be bothered to try for 100 points every day. The excitement of the new event wears off by around day 10 in my experience. By the end, a lot of people resign themselves to just collecting the daily badge.

As this is the first event with daily totals published, it will be interesting to see how this effects teams' motivation. Could it be Chibs got too complacent too early? Have Snookles given up already, or are they gearing up to take the lead? We have 28 days left so it remains to be seen whether the hare stays lazy enough for the tortoise to pull ahead.

The teams totals are interesting. Some claimed that the most likable mascots, i.e. chibs and snookle, would have
