The description of the event

For centuries, there is a struggle between the insidious henchmen of Santa Claus and warriors of light of Father Frost for the planet SnowGirls' Heaven [20:1:8]. Click  whose side are you on, and then you will get Christmas Tree that will symbolize your support.

This year's vicious pirates have kidnapped all the conifer cones (pineal charges) of Santa Claus and Father Frost and now they could not charge Christmas Tree. Your task is to find the pirates holding the coordinates in the galaxy and destroy their fleet, and for one to pick up the conifer cones, which are do not belong to them. For each point of battle experience from the downed pirate’s ships of you get 1 conifer cone.

Modifier

Please note that each side has "modifier" which is a factor of your cones when summing up. For example, if you got hold in the end of the contest N cones modifier M, then the final number of gifts for you is N * M. "Modifier" is changed dynamically depending on the number of players who selected the opposite direction. More players per side - lesser a modifier.

Side mission:

You have to fight with each of the pirates in the list, destroying their fleet by at least 15 points of battle experience. If successful, you will receive 100 bonus conifer cones. This task can be repeated any number of times.

Each side has 3 tables of Top 25 players who distinguished themselves most obstinately helping their side, so they will be awarded with medals which further increase production of resources by 10% within 30 days.

Conversion of tables and statistics of the sides (including the number of total conifer cones) occurs every 5 minutes.
