In the previous events, all goals were reached, though we suspected they were kinda rigged to be winnable anyways, the numbers were to intimidate people on spending some donuts to get them for sure. However, spAnser informed us that the Community Prize counter is REAL. The game sends data to the server everytime you do something that would increase it. The live counter is however a guesstimate. When the game asks the server for the current community goal numbers. The server spits back the total as well as the average increase per second that was most recent. So it can give the illusion of going up without asking there server every second.
