If people cant feed today, not my fault. I havnt fed since noon today. An hour in between is ridiculous. I could see once per page even. But an hour? O.o
I like this. I've gotten two. It's just like RSing. RSing is competitive. I'm just not deticated enough to feed that many pets. Congrats to those that are. I'm sure its costing a foryune but I have NOTHING against any of you.
As far as those upset, play when the site is less populated, it actully isn't too tough.
I think there should be a time limit between feeds. Like once an hour. That way, more people can feed besides those same people listing over and over... 
I got 2 minions while feeding my 200 
one cheapo one and one r99 
hope I get my silver trophy back though...it disappeared when I got gold 
..I agree with Jojojoeybear and LadyBee.
This whole minion thing is just a game. There's not too much to fuss over about. It's not like not being able to feed a minion quick enough is going to affect your real life. (But I must admit, there are some speedy.. and lucky peeps out there. xD)
If you really want to feed a minion, just have some food items ready in your inventory. (This is what Jojojoeybear also suggested.)
And if you really just want the minion itself, just work hard and make sP and SAVE it.
However, I also agree there should be a limit. It gives those who have a slow or old computers a better chance. Just a suggestion to Keith. (Also Keith, thank you for implementing a 5 second wait. I'm sure it has helped many out there.)
Have fun. Really. It's not that big of a deal. x3

Thanks Cam and Keith.
Waterdragon34912-If staff took off everything that people had a problem with or complained about we wouldnt have rsing, vending, quests or trivia questions.
I think the staff should consider taking this game off of subeta.
Not that I hate this game, but I'm worried about Subeta. :X I'm not demanding or complaining, I'm just saying this.
People are getting all aggrivated about the rules and it keeps getting called a rip-off due to a certain game on a different site. I'm not being a poor sport cause I think it's hard, but I'm worried with a lot of people getting this upset about it...
I don't think limits will help, that'll make the game too easy but this game is hard but possible. However it's impossible for people with lagging computers. I can see why they want a limit, but that'll make the game far too easy and everyone will have a trophy and easily get rare minons so that won't work. I can understand that this was meant to be a fun addition and challenge added to Subeta to give users something to do and to help lower food prices but it's just some people's attitude about the site now might not be worth it.
I sincerely hope that I didn't offend anyone, I don't want to start another uproar. T_T
I think as we all get to understand this game better, and also come to understand the reasoning behind it, that most people will eventually find it fun after trying it for a while. The idea is not to stress over it....it is a game after all. I know that I found myself more than a little miffed at what I considered unfair advantages. However, now that I have a better understanding of the game and it's concept, my opinion has changed considerably. Jo learned quicker than any of us the technique required to feed lots of minions quickly. We should congratulate her, not tear her down. I am sure if any of us approached her nicely she would have willingly shared some ideas on feeding. But really...it is not too difficult a game to play. It takes time and patience and an inventory full of foodstuffs...and quick reflexes can't hurt. 
Oh great, now it'll be even more impossible to feed those minions. Thanks for making it even more harder for us people who hasn't had a chance to feed them yet due to the greedy people who feed more than one at a time.
Man, am i the only one who's disappointed in this minion feeding thing?
nightflame - it is fair. There is nothing I can do to make it more fair, without completely going against what the game was made for.
People don't feed their pets (like they should) so food sits at an almost terrible price, constantly.
Also, the food they ask for pulls from ALL the food items on the site. Any item that can be 'fed' is asked for. There shouldn't be anyone making lists, or anyone seeing what things like to eat - because they ask for EVERYTHING.
I've won 7 minions. All were less than 20k except for one. I gave that one to a friend with it on their wishlist =) I'm not making anything here. I'm losing lots though. I just enjoy feeding.
Then rs food. You get rich. We all are happy.
Nightflame and Nalkaria summed it up perfectly. It's no fun, except to people who can afford it. it'd be cheaper to buy the minion than actually bothering to buy items that have skyrocketed in price, but in turn the minion price continues to rise, rather than decrease. The rich get rich and the poor get poorer. Aint we got fun? ;3
So, I just read through comments,
"I think there has to be some kind of limit. I mean 1 user fed 7 minions the last time it refreshed. It's ummmm well it needs to be limited some how"
Wow, um whine much? HAVE THE ITEMS IN YOUR INVENTORY ALREADY. 
This isnt a new concept people. You've seen similar games elsewhere. And Hahruka continuing to call me a jerk here and on my profile doesnt get you anywhere. It's a game and in every game someone has to win. Sheesh people, get over it already.
Aw Keith, way to ruin it for me XD
This game has always been about being fair to everyone. When your members aren't happy, a change needs to be implemented.
A few seconds time limit isn't going to stop a few certain people from hoarding the items, minions, and the game.
I thought the Kadoatery was bad, now, this minion game has surpassed it in awfulness.
Is it your intention to make all items they ask for to skyrocket? I guarantee someone's writing down everything it's asked for, and buying the items up, to make them UB, and just keeping them in their inventory to feed those minions.
That isn't in the best interest of the players. You're allowing a few select people to monopolize the minion market now.
I've implemented a 5 second wait.
That's probably the most it'll be.
Yea, I think I'm just gonna buy minions instead of trying to feed these... With the lag, it makes it where some of us can't even feed the minions without it already saying "Someone has already fed that lucky minion." I barely got in two yesterday, so I'm happy to get the trophy at least.
I don't see why a time limit would deflate minions. There would still be just as many bubbles appearing, and just as many popping, just by different people.
I wonder how many Minions Jojoey's won already... 686 Minions fed, when most people can't even get 1. (Not a shot at Jo, by the way... I think they're one of the many people who make me rich from time to time XD I knew that name was familiar) But when a game gets THAT unbalanced just after the game is released, you know something is wrong. Even the second in the highscores has almost half of what they do! Yes, it's a game, and when a highscore table is included, that means competition.
But how many people is this really fun for? My only chance at feeding something is to feed a Minion asking for an incredibly rare and expensive item that's been sitting there forever, and most people can't really afford to do that... it ain't fun, it's just frustrating and disappointing, especially when you pay thousands for an item that SHOULD be dirt cheap, only to have somebody running around with, like, a thousand items already in their inventory, and sniping every Minion they can in a few seconds. So, what, we all have to become spontaneously rich to win anything? Make the rich even richer, that's just great...
Awesome, just awesome.
I never once fed a Kad, but I've fed two minions already.
With the added incentive of extremely expensive minons sometimes popping out, (I saw a Dove, Citrus Imp, Dark Espergile, and several old Trivia minions, and even some minions I don't think have been released yet in there in just the last few minutes) I think this will become a habit for me.
waits for someone to pop a Geeky Mouse out of there so she can buy it
"If there was a time limit, the game would get so much easier that the price of the minions would deflate." The thing is, The opportunity of earning a minion now SHOULD make the prices deflate. unfortunately, it'll probably have an opposite effect considering the minions earned will either be hoarded, put into galleries, or sold for incredibly high prices. And technically, the game wouldn't be easier with a time limit. it'd be more frustrating for the greedy ones, but it would actually give the slower connections a chance to earn a few points.
THIS is why this site is better than the Neopets version. That, and the fact that I can actually feed these minions. I never fed a Kad and I was on that site for years.
Sorry for the double post, by the way. kicks lag
Look at it this way: If there was a time limit, the game would get so much easier that the price of the minions would deflate. I mean, the minions are hard to feed, but just look at it as a goal to get better at. It's really a combination of luck, strategy, and timing--like restocking--and not another easy clicking game.
I haven't fed a single one, by the way. 
Congrats on making the game officially better than the Kadoatery x)

Allowing those who overfeed to also gain minions through their overfeeding is adding insult to injury to users who are already having a bad time trying to play this game.
Trophies are still acting funny - after that glitch yesterday, users who fed their 200th minion have their silver trophy turn to gold instead of getting a new gold trophy so now they have bronze + gold trophy instead of all three.
"restocking its not fair or equal for all is it?" ..if you're talking about the user shops, it's because the users control it. If you're talking about the shops, it's plenty fair. atleast you can buy SOMETHING there for a decent price. and if you cant find what you want in shops, you can always wait until the next RS, or you can bargain with other users. user gets money, you get item. all is fair. if it's too expensive, you don't buy it. RSing has nothing to do with games, because we do not control games or how they work. one or two greedy people can corrupt a game, and apparently get away with it, too. ;D
i really do empathize but they don't cant make everything fair for all... restocking its not fair or equal for all is it?
lol ok no limit, guess I only play at work then. Have a super fast connection there.
'
This game is feed the minions first. The most I will do is make a few seconds time limt.' Well then. The game really isn't a game, is it? =/ Games usually aren't one-sided, and EVERYONE has a chance of winning. This is one 'game' I choose not to play, because I seem to lose everytime, no matter if I have the item or not. ;3
Something similar to the cache at the donation center would be a good idea - I managed to feed 6 in the last 2 days and only when there were very few people online. It would at least give people with slow connections a fighting chance. The high score table is just....well, most people don't stand a chance.
sorry guys u heard the man Keith said its the way its supposed to be after all u cant get mad that some one is faster than u just have to try harder and have a bit o the irish luck on your side
I love the new idea a lot =)....and though I dislike the other place. THEY do have a limit, you cannot fed more than one and they only restock what every 30mins to an hour. BUT this is Subeta and I am glad we are NOT like them.
I think there has to be some kind of limit. I mean 1 user fed 7 minions the last time it refreshed. It's ummmm well it needs to be limited some how
has anyone contacted user admin. about not getting points for feeding today?
This game is feed the minions first. The most I will do is make a few seconds time limt.
I got the event yesterday - a Dies Irae popped out 
Squee! I fed a minion and a Mirabun popped out.

Forgot to add: I also agree with the limit. It's not fair to have the same users feeding the pets and not giving everyone else a chance. (:
Agrees to limit idea I've gone from 6.1mil to 5.8mil from buying stuff in the past 20minutes and I haven't actually fed a single one

I agree too. Even though my connection is fairly decent, a lot of the same people are just jumping at it again and again so it makes it near impossible for the rest of us. _
I agree with the limit. (I haven't gotten one yet...I've been trying...really really hard)
3 a day seems about right.
feeding 1 an hour would be more than enough for each person, please consider a limit...
Managed to get another minion fed. Hopefully, one of the ones that I've got on my wishlist will pop for me.
Btw, for those who have had a bubble pop, how many minions did you have to feed before one popped? Just wondering, as I'm up to five now.
