This used to be a fun quick way for casual players to get tags and materials.
I understand the greed.. er reason for removing it, but it's Christmas, How about a little of that spirit here?
Also why is my avatar not showing all of a sudden!?

Perhaps offer the option to do Tide of Ice or Cones of Conduct for tags? You could select between a box of tags and ornaments.

I like the idea. It would be like marks when completing various PvE queued events. A window will pop up where you need to select what you want. If you don't make a selection for 5 minutes then the game will select a random reward for you.
But how many epohh tags would you get? Perhaps 2-4 tags per event.
The downside is that it would make the PvP race pointless and a lot less people would be doing it since a lot of us have more holiday commodities then we need. Also you can trade 5 epohh tags to the GPL conversion unit in the wonderland map to get some GPL, so making the tags more easily obtainable is another thing to consider.
I need tags more than mats.

And, of course, this comes with the caveat that I not TRIBBLE up / get lagged out...
Slapping them into Cones or upping the "place" prize to 3 per race would be sweet...

Snow digging for those currencies wasn't available last year, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't available the year before. So it's probably three years ago that it was available and both New Romulus and Eppoh's didn't even exist back then.

Bird eggs are bird eggs. But tropical tags can only be earned thru powerboard racing. Consolation prize is 2 tags just like in the competitive race.
1 race is over 1 min. What's the problem...
The common answer to the problem is the race is to hard for some people.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
3 FatF races = 3 hours.
That's the problem.
3 toons x 3 hours = 9 hours.
It is not Alt friendly.

there are actually 2 races an hour so in 2 hours you can gain 8 tags, so for 2 hours on the first day and 1 hour on the second day you get the 12 tags you need to raise epohh over the 2 days.
you can also take part in the other games while you are waiting for your next race to fill out the time and gain some winter items in the process.
sure its not great for alts but what in this game is, even if the only thing you do is doff missions you need to multiply the time it takes by the amount of characters you have.
and how is digging in snow piles going to be any different, you will still have to dig until you have enough tags and then repeat the proses on your alts so your not saving vast amounts of time there anyway plus the time it takes to keep clearing your inventory if you don't have much space.
at the end of the day digging snow piles was as boring as hell and you could still end up digging for an hour before you got the 6 tags you needed for that day.
at least with the race its over quick leaving you free to do more fun stuff in between.
now they have added that handy itinerary that tells you whats happening over the next hour its simple to plan your time and be where you need to be for the next thing happening.
it would be sweet if you could trade some winter items for tags but don't forget you would need to get the required quantity and type of winter items before you could trade them and that takes time as well.

A some one else stated, 3 hours = 6 races.. In case you forgot, the F&F PvP race is at + :30 and :37. Completing the race will give you 2 Taggs per race; so there's the 12 Taggs for 2 Epohh research daily jobs..
Your comment about "It is not Alt friendly." Well, I run 9 toons daily. We made the alts, we run the alts. It's not Cryptic's responsibility to make sure the "player" can run any given number of characters thru the events. It's the Players responsibility.
"ALT FRIENDLY" - The T6 Ships, in the events are NOW Account unlock.. ONE toon can unlock that T6 ship or other event special reward regardless of how many "alts" you have. I really appreciate and thank Cryptic for the change to "Account" unlock.
The most important item, the T6 ship, is account unlock. Raising "Alt Friendly" issues because an event is to difficult to win, or "Bunny Hoppers' using exploits, for basically a "Vanity Pet", IMHO, is a personal issue; not a Cryptic issue.
Having and running Alts thru events, is our choice. Not Cryptics issue to deal with. imho..

You want to collect stupid epohhs on alts, thats your problem.
when killing some of the snowmen. I hate doing that pvp
race.
Cones isn't paying too well the rewards for everything else are pathetic.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
