How could this system ever be fair? How are people chosen to which team they belong? I know it's random, but what about the number of people in one team? There could be for example like 40% of the people in team purple, so they have an advantage. Please someone tell me if i'm wrong.
And then there are tokens to change the team? meh...
But i don't want to sound ungrateful, it is a very good idea from valve (also for their profit ;) ) and you have the chance to win free games.

Sort of depends now how much a person is willing to contribute. There could be someone that contribute's 1 point to the team, while another contributes a 1000 points.

Wow, I didn't know there were tokens to change team. I was hoping that if purple won 3 days in a row or something they'd scramble the teams but that seems unlikely now.

Apparently people are paying like $20 for a change to purple token. Get one, and sell it is my advice. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning games.

They drop when you craft badges, only summer ones I think. People sell them on the market.

and there are tokens to steal the points, so someone can steal the points from your team to their

you can find details here http://store.steampowered.com/promotion/summer2014teams/ and see how much points was stolen from each team

You can only win game if you make summer sale badges. Just being in a team won't net you (or me) anything.

You can craft any badges for a chance too, you have to contribute 1 point minimum pretty much.

You can win games if you contribute ANY points during the day that your team wins, if you contribute 1 point by crafting a regular badge, you can still win.

You're right, thanks for the correction.
Still, I don't feel like spending on cards and badges just to have a 1 to 100k ?-ish chance of winning games. That becomes only lottery.

I´m in the purple Team (as I said before not my favorite color)...but I agree

we in the winner team get additional cards, can craft more badges and get more points...and so on...even if I´m purple...i think it´s not fair!

Wait what? The winner teams has advantages as well in the summer adventure? How the hell would anybody in their right minds thing that's fair is beyong me.

Anyways, 30 people getting the games is ridiculously LOW of a chance, will keep selling them cards

look:


Anyone who contributed points to that win will get 2 bonus Summer Sale trading cards. Everyone else who contributed points that day will get 1 bonus card.


I missed one fact. it´s even worse not only means more cards= more badges= more points....more badges means also more possible steal tokens for the team.

If it is totally random then one team could be left with far fewer people which is already unfair, not to mention the fact that people can just change team to the winning team anyway.

It was not made to be fair :). It's sole purpose is to get as much of your money to Gabe's Steam and nothing else. It seems that they made it into competition "lottery to win a cat in a bag" so, you would spend and spend all your money on changing team tokens or cards or whatever. The only winner in EVERY lottery is the maker, no one else. That's why I don't care about it and you shouldn't either mate :). Oh and if you need to know I am in pink team and I am not going to change this by token.

Exactly :D It's all about "what we should do to earn more money?? (without make any new game ofc)"

So they start this "competition".
There are people who will craft badges so they have chance to win games.
There are people who will say "red team is on the lead? No way, I must craft moar badges".
And there are people who will pay 30€ for purple team token or buy -3000 points.

And there is only one winner - Valve :D

So I think that this Steam Adventure is brilliant move from Valve & I'm afraid what they came up with in winter sale.

Why contribute when day starts? Contribute when there's 1 min left, if your team is leading you might get struck by a lightning.

Team Red, which I'm in, sucked ass the first day, but it looks like they're out for blood on Day 2 xD

I'm guessing Purple will keep on dominating during the event with always one other colour trying to catch up, stealing points, crafting stuff etc. :D

Hope Red wins today since I've even contributed a bit :P

very fair. At start all get to a random team, then u can change team (for example to a friend team or to winning one).
If winning team gets prizes that all good, after all they are the ones who spend more money to win :)
They get cards and also the games? so... ? If I spend give 1k points to team and get no games and a person that give 1 point get 3games how's that fair? Ofc they get cards too... after all they contributed.
Im in purple and I didnt, nor will craft badges so i will not get anything from this.. It for CONTRIBUTORS only.

What you people fail to understand is how to plan for shit.. Take red for example, they bought shitton of cards yesterday and saved them for today and now they are giving a hugeass fight to purple. I have no idea why the other 3 teams are still crafting today though..

Because 1 craft per day = 1 summer card. 0 craft = 0 card

If I wanted to craft a badge, I'd craft a badge, where my team is on this thing has no bearing on that. The chances of winning are tiny and the prize is small. If people are actually putting together strategies to try and win this then "lol" is all I can say. Who really cares?
