Interesting: There seems to have been some alteration to how victories in Turf War are counted. This was just posted by the official Splatoon Twitter account:
@Kazuo will give another take on it, but my translation is:
"Oh, and we forgot to say earlier, but under Judd's shrewd judgement, it seems that from here on that bonuses for victories in Regular Matches have increased. There's a rumour going around that that if you continue battling, you might just be able to receive a little something from Judd. Please check it out for yourself."
@Maxz yeah that seems to be pretty accurate.
Some people on Squid Boards are suspecting that you may be able to get super sea snails from Turf Wars now and Judd now says something different apparently.
Well I say turf wars since that's what was mentioned in the tweet, but perhaps it is just wins overall.
@Kazuo I wonder if hitting "SO HAWT!!!"/"On Fire" on the streak meter (does that happen at +9.0?) results in Sea Snails being handed out as well as a financial reward. Although that applies to both Ranked and Regular, which would make the Tweet about 'Regular Match' a little odd.
Although it could be that there are two separate additions, and that the talk of an increased 'bonus' in Regular Battles could be to do with EXP points (and possibly money as well), whereas the second sentence about an actual 'reward' (ごほうび) could be referring to Sea Snails given for getting a high streak meter.
That would leave both things making some sense. It certainly seems logical that the reward would be Snails, as the single source of earning them has just finished. Although, paying 9,000 should still work, so they're not completely necessary.
EDIT: For the amiibo fans among you, it seems that scanning the Callie and Marie amiibo will turn the plaza back into nighttime mode and allow you to view (and submit) posts from the Calle and Marie Splatfest. Which is nice. So we're not resigned to infinite sunshine.
Wow! I had so many games against my own team yesterday, I assumed Marie had more votes and therefore less wins than Team Callie. What a nice surprise!
And great to hear those news about getting sea snails for consistent wins. That's a good idea.

Could you point me to the thread where this was discussed? Can't find it so far on Squidboards... thanks in advance.
Also the tweet about Judd has also been translated and posted in Splatoon's Tumblr account
"Last but not least, it sounds like Judd’s getting a little more generous, and the bonus points given to the victory in Regular Battle will increase from now on. Thanks Judd! Also, a rumor says that he may even give you a small reward if you keep battling… Check it out to see what might happen!" http://splatoonus.tumblr.com
@shani@Kazuo Well that's pretty much cleared that up. Apart from the exact mechanics of getting Super Sea Snails (I assume it's +10 rather than 10 wins in a row, because that sounds a bit much), we seem to know how it all works. It's seems pretty much just as we thought.
Honestly don't care about Splatfests and haven't played Splatoon in about two months but kind of sad that the Splatfests are over. I mostly enjoyed them for people's drawings about which side they were on in the Inkopolis plaza. There were a lot of good ones in the Fancy Dress Party vs. Costume Party.
@Kazuo@Maxz: Well, since no one corrected me on that yet: seems like my previous intel after the Splatfest was wrong.
You actually get a Sea Snail from Judd if you amass 30 wins, not just during one rotation, but ongoing, no matter in which mode.
And he keeps them until you speak to him, so if you amass like 60 or 90 wins, he will then hand out two or three snails.
@Kazuo: Actually, I just got my first Sea Snail from Judd!
I just went to him when I got to the Plaza and he already had one waiting for me, probably because of yesterday's session.
I had a few decent winning streaks in Turf War this week, so it doesn't take too long to get a snail if you're still an active player.
Yeah I'm happy with the changes they made after the last Splatfest. It will make re-rolling a fair bit easier to do. Though I'm glad with the 'perfect' gear and such I already have anyway. I've got a fair bunch of them now, the only thing I want that I don't have a set for yet is Quick Super Jump. I've got two pairs of shoes for this, but nothing else.
Still sad that Splatfest has ended though. I was hoping they'd make night-time mode available after that too, but the only way to do that now is with the Callie & Marie amiibo, and that's only for the Plaza. Can't battle at night anymore. And the stages were so pretty at night, too!
