Winter is back! Welcome to our winter-themed pointies-spending game, the New Year Snowball Fight! In this game, the goal is to have the largest collection of snowflakes by the end of the month. Upon joining, each member will be given 100 snowflakes. These snowflakes make up your collection; run out of them and you're out of the game! Any member, participating or not and 'alive' or not, can spend pointies on the following purchase options to help themselves or their friends to victory. Joining is free, but after the first three days, no members will be allowed to join. Pointies spend will not be adjusted in your pointies count until the end of January. Your total spendings will be displayed in a spoiler at the bottom of this post. If you spend pointies that you don't have, you will be automatically disqualified.
If you go out of snowflakes in the first three days, you can sign up again to receive the 100 inital snowflakes again.

Code: Purchasing an item
 
[b]Item:[/b]
[b]Quantity:[/b]
[b]Given to/Used on:[/b]

You may give anyone (including yourself) any items you wish.
I.e. if you give another member a snowflake, it adds to their collection. If you give yourself an icicle, it removes a snowflake from your own collection.

Prizes:
  • All members who still have snowflakes by the end of January (or until only 3 members remain) receive a split share in ALL pointies used in this game.
  • The player(s) placing (in order of snowflake collection size) first, second and third will receive their choice of three exclusive winter-themed pointies animals, with first place having first pick.

Just to be curious, but are there any rewards to the member who has the most snowflakes?

All surviving members (or the last 3 members) get an equal share of the amount of pointies spent overall. The person with the largest amount of snowflakes gets first pick of three unique silhouettes.

The amount of pointies the winners get totally depends on how many people join, are active, and continue to spend pointies on this game, but to give an example these are the results of two years ago:
http://thezt2roundtable.com/topic/10952669/1/
As you can see, 3 winners each got 11246 pointies, plus an exclusive silhouette!

I had for example at the start of this pointies thing 1200 pointies. I bought a gibbon, I have 500 pointies remaining.
Even if I didn't buy the gibbon I would have been at a massive disadvantage against Burns for example who apparently has 2024 pointies.
Did I miss something to make the game fair for everyone?

@RGDs: This game is about strategy though, not about pointies count. Although Burns will be slightly advantaged by having more pointies, you can still win if you form alliances; buy igloos or I don't know just play strategically in general. :P

If you look closely, people that won last time weren't the one that spent the most pointies at all
