    I have beat Chadley every day, except for that horrible game, Kiko Racing
    I will be happy with any trophy, actually I came into the 2017 DD full well knowing I cannot win every single game against Chadley. There are games I'm great at (I looooooove Kou Jong!)...and my high score for AAA Revenge so far is 65.
    Going for the gold trophy has always been difficult for me, and I'm sure other people out there. But I'm having fun with the prizes and playing new games that I would not have played before, like today's game :)

    Yeah, Hannah and Hanso have got it, it definitely SHOULD need you to beat Chadley every time to get gold, or what's the pointing of it being a gold trophy?
    Gold trophies are meant to be hard to earn, they are the pinnacle of achievement. They are for being the absolute best, after all, not almost the best, not the best on some days. So if you can't be the absolute best, for whatever reason, you just got to suck it up and move on. Work on your moves for next time, or cut your losses if that isn't possible.
    Let's take a look at my achievements so far:
    Chadley beaten 7 times - Abigail beaten 3 times - 6 days total fail from me... I'll get a participation trophy and because I've not scored on a number of the days that's just as it should be, but it's a bit of a kick in the teeth for people who only fail on one day...hmm, but then again...is that really any different to feeling entitled to a gold trophy because you nearly beat Chadley every day? Not really...
    I can see why TNT didn't muddy the water with trophies for different levels of winning/participation and so on, because where do you stop? It would cause more trouble and confusion than it was worth, because there's always going to be some people who aren't happy with how things turn out for them, no matter what.

    I agree that a gold medal should involve beating AAA/Chadley every day, but I think that there should be more levels of trophy - like in GMC.  Like the next level could be beating AAA/Chadley more than half of the days and Abigail the rest, beating AAA/Chadley less than half of the days and beating Abigail the rest, etc.   Or even making it so that a person doesn't need to play all of the days to get a silver trophy if they have mostly AAA/Chadley wins. It's a really harsh punishment to go from Gold Medal to participant by forgetting to play on the last day.  The event is 20 days long!   More levels of prizes/more nuance of prize levels could really help the event.
    Years ago, the AAA Daily Dare scores seemed so out of reach! And now, they are usually under my highest score for the game prior to the event.  
    Assignment 53 has been the hardest game for me to get the score so far! (Kou Jong took a while, but it was relatively low stress).  Kiko Racing was also tough, but I got into a groove eventually.

    I'm gonna have to politely disagree. It's true that lots of players don't have the time or skills to beat AAA/Chadley's scores, but that's exactly why TNT introduced Abigail in the first place, so everyone can take part in the event. It's the entire point of her as a character. AAA and Chadley are supposed to be there for people who can and are willing to put their time and effort into besting them. If TNT just starts lowering their scores and makes them ridiculously easy because of the fact that some players are busy, have slow computers, or are just not good at games... then what's the point of Daily Dare? It wouldn't be that different from a giveaway event.
     Also, Daily Dare is not and has never been stressful. If a player is having trouble beating AAA/Chadley, they can just challenge Abigail or skip the challenge altogether. At the end of the day it's just a game and players are the ones who shouldn't let it become stressful.
     Sorry if I sounded rude.

    I will get the silver this year for sure. There is always one or two games that I cannot beat Chadley or AAA. But that's okay. I'm happy with the prizes and having fun!
    To those that can beat Chadley/AAA every day: I envy you all! You smarty-pants! I strive to get that gold trophy one of these years!

    So, see that sticky note that says "Chemistry" on the main page of DD? Apparently, the rest of the sticky notes have been uploaded and we can now know what the games for the next challenges are. Here they are in order:
    Kou-jong (ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!)
    Bruno's Backwoods Breakaway
    Tubular Kiko Racing
    Mop 'n' Bop
    Cooty Wars
    Korbat's Lab
    Whirlpool
    Usul Suspects
    Lost City Lanes
    Toy Box Escape
    Hungry Skeith
    Hot Dog Hero
    Revel Roundup
    Cave Glider
    Jubble Bubble
    Assignment 53
    Barf Boat
    Wheeler's Wild Ride
    AAA's Revenge
    I'm extremely worried about Kou-Jong and Tubular Kiko Racing. I'm terrible at those games.

    Got my trophy, NC, glorious construction hat, and avatar without issues here. Definitely less than pleased with the prizes and the design of the trophy. But glad I got the trophy and avatar? I guess a trophy's a trophy. JS has done us a disappoint. :/

    Thanks @Mouseykins for the suggestion. I have made it to a hundred donations on Icky Fruit and self-hatred. I'm so done. I hope that was enough to get maybe the bronze trophy. And if there's an avatar or something. Who knows. That's all I got. @.@

    If you're just donating for the sake of donating try Icky Fruit, they were fairly cheap the other day at under 200NP each. I believe they're R70 so not too bad. Might still get some good items out of it. :)
    Despite what I said earlier I've also gotten sucked in and have donated 54 times so far. I'm also going to try for the 100 mark and after that I'm done! Ugh I hate this event!

I want to get at least 100 donations due to the cut off for the bronze trophy last time, but ughhh. I've not spent anything yet, but have run out of things to donate from my sdb that I'm willing to part with XD 64 donations down, I guess. We'll see if I make it much further@.@

    This is covered by the well-known Neopian Mantra of NEVER. THROW. ANYTHING. AWAY.

    Since the last charity corner I think I've got rid of maybe 20 things? Stuff like smelly jellies, kelp and rubbish weapons you get masses of from the BD, and even when I'm discarding those weapons there's a voice in the back of my head saying, "you're gonna regret that one day and you know it!"
     
    Pretty massive irony that Charity Corner - an event intended solely to shed some of the load on the server by getting rid of a lot of items - makes people hoard even more items than usual.

    Charity Corner will be ending on the 9th so there's still plenty of time to cash in on the craziness.
    Unless there's a new avatar for this I'm not going to be participating. I may donate things I get from my dailies and maybe buy a few things but as for going all out insane not a chance.

    I did it! Even with work difficulties, I managed to complete all the scores needed on the day of release (even though I don't think that matters for this challenge set). I had a lot of frustration with Igloo Garage Sale game because I just had so much lag with that one. I actually really like the game. I had 699 on my first try before lag had me crushed by a piano. It then took several more tries before I was able to get the score. I also really didn't like some of the other games previous days. But, all set! I'm excited to see what the trophies and the end prizes are. The stamp and the Kookith were already quite nice!

    I don't have my account name linked anywhere on here, so I'm thinking it was someone who happened to see the BGC in auction/trades for lends and decided to target my account, since they knew I had at least one high-value item on it. 
     
    I do have enough NP to replace everything (save the BGC), I just want to wait until I hear from TNT before I go to the trouble of rebuying everything. In light of all the recent security issues, I've heard they're replying pretty quickly to tickets like mine (I'm also premium and have bought a ton of NC in the past so that might also help a little), and I'm hoping we can at least get the BGC back, as everyone in the TDN community worked really hard to achieve that goal.
