Bodhi

Bought everything except the coffee machine as I didn't have enough.
And I'm another who is buying loads of crumpled paper. lol

Did anyone else insist on spending every single one of their points? I bought 6 Crumpled Gift Wraps and I'm not entirely sure why.

That's just a rank calculator though, not a prize point calculator. That 400 is how many YYB wins you need for that rank.

That team looks like a game of 'Duck, Duck, Goose'.

I keep on going back and doing it daily and keep getting blasted.  I really don't know why!

I can't even imagine how much time you would have to spend on earning so many trophies! Or how skilled Bart already might be in gaming in general, so NP games are easy in comparison? 
 
Wow. o__o

I've noticed this around goal 4/5. Thought it was just me :-P

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this, they really get more agressive after a few goals. 

Ok, so when I play a game of YYB, I do pretty well during it. But then when it comes down to about 20 seconds on the clock, my opponents usually/often become really good at keeping the ball or getting it off me so that I can't get a last-minute goal.
Does anyone else have this happen?

I want to point something out here that I don't think everyone here is aware of: When you "buy" a book from Kindle, an E-Reader, or anything else, you do not OWN the book. Your own the license to the book, so that YOU can read it, but you don't permanently own it like you would a physical book. They can revoke that license at anytime, and delete the contents of your account. In one circumstance, there was a woman who had a Kindle account which she had used for years. She had tons of things highlighted, tons of notes stored, but because Amazon assumed her Amazon account had been comprimised - they DELETED every book she had, and legally they could. Years upon years of books she had purchased, now erased.
 
Here's the story; I recommend all Kindle users read it!

With a physical copy, they can't do that! But who knows when they'll decide to just take your books away from you? They could use any excuse!
 
Not to mention, physical copies don't require battery power so you conserve electricity. They don't have to be plugged in. They can be brought virtually anywhere, and in some cases, even survive water. People who don't have a lot of money can rent/buy books if they don't have access to electronic readers. Books will probably last longer, too.
 
I like the physical aspect of the book. HOWEVER, I do purchase online licenses for books. I got a good deal for the "Hunger Games" trilogy; so I purchased it. I'm not against E-books, but I'd like to have both options!
 
I do note the benefits of computer reading. You can access books from anywhere at the touch of a button. No paper = less trees killed. The book can "light" up so you don't have to adjust your reading. It's easier and simpler.

I really believe that paper books should and will keep going strong! Let's face it, not everyone is tech savvy and certainly not everyone has an E-reader or something like it. I think there will always be a population of people that will want paper books, even in our technological generation. Personally, I love my computer for Youtube, Facebook, Neopets:) etc.. But if I'm reading a book, it's because I don't want to stare at a computer screen. I do enough of that already, and a book is a nice break. I understand how they take up more space, kill more trees, and so on but I still think that books have a place in my world at least :D

10 years ago, this would be a doomsday thread :P
I remember in school (long time ago), we were talking about whether news papers would stop getting printed on paper and be purely electronic, and everyone were horrified. We thought of news papers as something that completed a feeling of calm, as you sat by the kitchen table with a cup of whatever. Books have the same effect. To sit with a book and unwind. It doesn't feel the same to sit with a kindle.
That said, I'm over the doomsday element of this. I like the paper medium, it just feels different. But I can't deny the usefulness of electronic books. You could in principle be sitting with a huge amount of books in your hand with a kindle (or whatever they're all called). This is definitely the direction we're headed.

So. I just HAD to come out of the shadows to say it.
 
DAT.
RAINBOW.

Could you be anymore MS Paint, JumpStaff? Could you?!
*dies*

Yes I'll admit that I often do feel bad about pounding a pet but I know that they'll find a loving home. I adopt them, zap them, and then pound them. :3

^ But how would you not see where the goalie is frozen? Whenever I get the freeze power up I run straight up to the goal and shoot right into it, so there's no way I can miss.

That takes more time than it should ... i just wait for him to move left and pass it under his arm 

Understood I like to play games with numbers that end I'm 5 or 0. Except yyb

My MSN plays are sitting on 666.
I don't want to play on from it. Hahaha!

Clickety click, Level 6!
 
Now for sssssssevennnnn!

I do the same thing, Bodhi! How funny! :laughingsmiley:
I'm soooooo tired of playing today. I'm at rank 7 now! Time for bed!

With SOSD, my technique is to move the ball over to one side (I use left), then as I hold down the space bar, I tap my right arrow button 3 times, then release the space bar. In 90% of the time.
 
My video for it!
 

I feel that way all the time. Last year I reached 1337 games of YYB and I still had plenty of time left on the last day...but I ended up stopping there haha.

I always bring it over to my opponents team and let them steal it and throw it until they score on themselves. It also helps to get the power-ups that increase the size of their net.

I try to shoot it in there. It doesn't work all the time, of course.
 
Most of the time, if I keep the ball near their goal, I will let them "steal" the ball from me, and they end up scoring a goal for me. Hahaha! :thumbsup:

For me, it's probably the fact that not all games can be muted.
