I have a question. I know if I launch the three fireworks colors at one person they combine on the screen.
If I also threw a snowball and a glitter-bomb, would they also add in?
……. :-O

I just threw both at you, so you can find out!
I am very curious now haha

Not sure if anything was thrown at me, the only thing I'm seeing is Claine's glitter-bomb.

Edit: With much experimentation, first I'd like to thank everyone who pelted me with various throwables. My finding are:

• Glitter-bombs and snowballs don't mix. If both are thrown, whichever is thrown first goes until it times out, then the snowball takes over.
• The three fireworks colors mix if launched consecutively.
• It all seems to be determined by what order they are received. If one of the three (fireworks, glitter bombs, and snowballs) is going, the next has to wait until the earlier one finishes.

Yes, throwables politely wait for their time to shine! :)

1. When you throw something at someone and that person isn't active, the throwable essentially just orbits around infinitely until the next time they become active on the site. This ensures throwables aren't wasted on people who aren't looking at the site when you happen to wind up.
2. Non-compatible throwables wait in a line, in the order they are thrown, for their turn. This means, again, no throwable time is wasted! So if you were to throw 30 snowballs at one person, instead of them having 15 minutes of an unbearable blizzard, they would each activate after the last one finished. 15 minutes per snowball x 30 snowballs = 450 minutes of continuous gentle, relaxing snow, or 7.5 hours!
3. Queued throwables also wait for the person to be active before going off, so in the above scenario, if you threw your 30 snowballs close to that person's bedtime, they might end up seeing only a few before they sleep... then wake up to many more hours of snow!
4. There's a log of throwables! Hover over your name in the menu > Choose "Account Info" > Choose "Throwable History" from the sidebar!

Thanks for the explanation, Kim! a few of us had fun pelting each other with different stuff as we experimented. It will probably be snowing for days for me now. XD.
So am I right with the firework colors combining if different ones are launched at the same time?
