Coconut shy theory tested!

[Furry Curry Level 3]

all right ya'll if you have read the article on the coconut shy theory featured in TDN's misc articles section then you know that you have to keep clicking in a certain area and you get 10000 NP fairly easily. I was in the mood to try it out and lo and behold i did it!! in addition to my NP i got a Wailing Evil Coconut worth 50,000!!!! SUPER SWEET. try it.

[Xepha]

Yep, it did work for me as well a few months ago... but I was trying to get the avatar for months XD.

 

Congrats on your win! =)

[Tess!]

Can you post the link to it?

[Pebeanjay]

The link is here. I am going to try this method.

[oowowaee]

The link is here. I am going to try this method.

 

I did try this method; there was no difference in my results.

[Pebeanjay]

How many times did you try? I am going to try this for 2 weeks.

[Sam of DC]

I'm going to try-you inspired me...I'll get 2000 to waste.

[Furry Curry Level 3]

well i have tried it before but i wasn't too interested in it but i decided to go for the avatar so i tried for my first time in a long while yesterday and then i got it! you can do it 20 times so go all 20 since its only a bit of NP plus you get 300 back a lot of the times too.

I wish I can try it out, but I haven't been able to load Coconut Shy for a really long time. Anyone else with the same problem?

[tempdisplay]

I always try it but it never works for me. But is it the same coconut or cursor position?

 

PS. I just dicorvered the signature thing. Brilliant! Better than goin to photobucket on evry post! :D

[Ashley Rose]

I have done this method since well...since I can remember. I finally got the avatar a few days ago actually! First time and I've been using that method for ages, it's just luck in my opinion.

[ho_yt]

I haven got the avatar yet since I try this method a few months ago, I think its due to my luck...

[n00biito]

Thank you for the link i'm gonna try it too. I could use some easy NP since I don't have much time to play the games and honestly I suck at them -.-;

[shayk]

I have been trying that method for a few months too. It does mean that I hit more often (nearly every time) but still haven't knocked it completely down yet. Still trying for that avie. Hopefully not too much longer...

Do you really get more NP that way though? I'm not really interested in the avis.

[ashleynicole]

I've tried that way for a couple days now. I hit almost every time, and am getting hte 300 np prize with relative consistency (5/10 tries a day), but still no big prize. I'm going to keep trying though--I want the avvie!

[Furry Curry Level 3]

hahahah i got it again and this time i got the 10,000 and a Horned Evil Coconut worth another 50,000 at least. mayeb im just lucky!

[LadySussudio]

I had saw that theory somewhere else a while ago and had been trying it most days for quite a while but only ever won the 50 or 300 Neopoints.

I just played it a few minutes ago though and I won - so I'm certain luck plays at least some part in it.

 

I don't know how to take screenshots and I couldn't copy/paste it, but here's what it said anyway -

 

Ach! See, the game isn’t rigged after all!

Tell your friends, kid! Erm, you also won an

 

You won 10000 points

 

Your Neopoints: 110448

 

You also won an item! (One Eyed Evil Coconut) Which I really, really hope someone buys as it will replace most of the Neopoints I'm just after spending on Cards ^_^ heh

I wish I can try it out, but I haven't been able to load Coconut Shy for a really long time. Anyone else with the same problem?

 

 

i can load that game just fine but can't bagatelle! it freezes every time, no matter what computer i am on!

[Furry Curry Level 3]

i guess bagatelle and you just weren't meant to be?

[youngrace]

going to try it myself. good luck everyone!

[Sugar Gar]

I didn't get the avvie yet using this method, but I did only lose 200 NP for 20 throws XD 1800 NP saved!

If I'm hitting it that much, this is a start =)

[Pirate Dante]

Thelink doesn't work, so can somebody post an working link or the theory here?

[beachin13]

I have been using that theory for about two weeks, and I still can't get it. I think I just have bad luck. Oh well. I'll get it eventually.

[Furry Curry Level 3]

heres the link

or heres the gist of the article...

 

 

 

Now... how did I win?

 

* I always go for the same coconut all through the game.

* To keep the same aim through the whole game, I have a technique.

 

It's the following:

 

Explanation: I always point my cursor to the center of the "a" of "again".

 

This allows me to always throw toward the middle coconut. I hit it almost every time. But you need to keep checking your cursor hasn't moves and is still pointing to the "a" of "again". Sometimes you may have a correct aim but the ball with go left of right. It happens every game. I win 50np mostly (which is not a gain) then 300np (which compensates for the money lost) and in ONE MONTH I won the 10000 Jackpot THREE TIMES!!

 

It has also been reported that luck may be increased on your birthday. This birthday theory may or may not be true.

 

So it's up to you if it's worth loosing a bit to maybe win a lot...
