How many GOGlins does it take to plant a parsnip?

Working as a group is usually about efficiency, coordination, and emergent camaraderie. But mostly it's about silly, anarchic fun! And that's exactly what Twitch Plays is: a hilarious collective effort to play a game using the input of everyone who participates. You can either contribute by issuing simple commands in the chat or just sit back and watch the madness unfold.

Join us today for the first spectacular GOG Plays event on <span class="bold">Twitch.tv/GOGcom</span> and help us achieve greatness in Stardew Valley. The objective? To plant a Parsnip!
Then stay tuned for the announcement of our second event, where we will be trying to acquire a specific kind of balloon in Grim Fandango Remastered.

For every challenge we complete everyone will get 300 XP, regardless of whether they participated or not. An 100 XP boost will be handed out as consolation prize should we fail our objective. But that's not gonna happen. Right?

The Stardew Valley event begins Thursday, June 9, at 4:00 PM UTC and will last for six hours. Bring your gardening tools.

Senteria: The museum was evil because you can't ever make it in time there. It's about as far as the wizard and we managed to arrive there at 11pm in-game. Even if you managed to get to the museum, getting inside before 6pm was just impossible.

mmodri: I'm still salty, it said VISIT the museum, that does not imply entering the building, plus its called the Archaeology Office! Goal unreachable, I want a refund! :P
Yeah give us our time back! :P

Damn museum, we even moved quite fast.
Time passes too quickly in Stardew. O_o

timmy010: Hi, so does that mean everyone on gog gets 1900 XP?

300 per goal and 100 for a failed goal?

:-)
Nah, the XP goal was just the first one, the parsnip. Next ones were clearly stated as "just for fun", but hundreds of people stood there to finish them. :)

Every challenge as in the primary stated goal for each game. Doesn't have to also mean additional stuff not initially announced, added after completion of the actual challenge.

I made up additional challenges live on stream without talking to GOG.com peeps, as it was late evening in Poland and most of them were at home then. :) People responsible for Summer Promo were aware just of the parsnip goal as we had no idea people would do it so fast.

I wanted to keep the stream running and people to have fun, also clearly stated on stream (both in Dizzy's narration and in overlay) that additional goals are *just for fun*.

Fortunately, few hundred people stood there, understood the rules and played with us just to enjoy the community project.

You're absolutely right, I misread it. Sorry about that.

I have no doubt you properly informed your viewers and participants of the rules and objectives. My only quibble was with the part I quoted (bearing in mind that people might read it and choose not to join the Twitch event) but since I misread it (as solely pertaining to this first event) everything is hunky-dory. My apologies for the abrupt cranky geezer comment. :)
