Haha yes!

I suppose a lot of people are online right now since we had a start time. It should be easier to catch events later on. But I think it ought to count if you started the game while there was still an obstacle. Otherwise people are incentivised to just quickly submit a low score.

Btw, am I missing a food/energy meter? How do we know how much we have?

I think that's overall progress for the team, you can only do each activity once a day though.

it's absolutely absurd to spread out the obstacles in such a way that even IF you manage to be online at the exact moment when one pops up, you can miss out on it being counted because it's cleared too quickly. This method is forcing people to not only haunt the site for the entire day, but HOPE that they're faster than everyone else on their team. That's not a team mentality and is hugely unfair to people who actually have...lives, or jobs, or the desire to not obsessively refresh the page.

"But I think it ought to count if you started the game while there was still an obstacle. Otherwise people are incentivised to just quickly submit a low score."

100% this.

That's the overall progress bar. The step for Matlal's Jewels has already been completed! =D

that progress bar wasn't there the first two times I played.

ah okay, thank you! im not used to events like this aha

Yes, that's what I was trying to ask/comment... because if you manage to click on the obstacle to start the game, I'd think you'd get credit at the end for one of your activities...

It's literally past midnight here. Am I gonna have to stay up 'till 5am f5'ing like an obsessive just to get anywhere with this plot?

AND we're stuck with the creepy kid murderer as co-leader. I want my money back! And if I haven't contributed any money yet, I still want money as compensation.

I need to go make dinner and do homework. Is there a ping group for obstacles?

What I meant is, similar to what said, unless most of our teammates are asleep, there is no reason for us as individual to try to get a high score. Sure we could (I think) try as many times as we can, but for the 1st game we have to submit a very low score very quickly. I presume that many of us did the best to get a high score at MJ and ended up missing the activity point because of that... which is not very intuitive. And thus, try to be as bad as possible initially.

You know what would be nice? If that purple bar wasn't also included on pet profiles. :/ That's kind of going to be distracting to layouts until this event is over... (I'm not trying to be overly negative or anything, but that kind of irks me as I am doing some coding for some of my pets currently.)

I'm not best pleased that I played and it didn't count even though I did it immediately. How were we supposed to know that we didn't need to get a decent score? If I were a mind reader, life would be far easier, clearly.

(HUGS

Ok I guess I'm not going to finish my 5 activities for the day. Feeling quite discouraged atm and tired since it's so late (early in the morning)... Good night guys and good luck getting credit for the obstacles!

Yeah but that's already what's happening? I have to do 4 more activities today in order to get my points - there's not THAT much time left in the day, and I've only seen one obstacle that I didn't get credit for, even though I clicked to play the game while it was still active. The gameplay needs some serious tweaking if you want people to not drop out of this en masse due to extreme frustration. Like said, at the VERY least, we should be able to get credit for completing the obstacle if we start it while it's still active.

im not clear how are they notifying us of steps?

Amen to everything is saying honestly. I'm tired and I am going to bed - I really hope I can get more participation for all of this tomorrow. I hope everyone else has fun though!

Playing the food game again and again will grant us having food, therefore, not lacking energy on later game, right?

I just loved your idea of a group pin for it! :D
