After about 10 balancing acts I finally got the fire muffin.

 

 

That screenshot is free to use if Ian or someone else wants to put it on the main page.

I think it took me 9 tries to get the fire muffin, but I lost count. It was either 9 or 10 though. I wonder what the prize for tomorrow will be, or later on if you don't have to wait an entire day.

EDIT: I have 5 empty prize boxes, I have played Cave Glider yet and need to get The Rock and Muffin. What are the other two boxes for? :S

 

Cute :) Hopefully they'll come out with a moltara paintbrush! Loving the shopkeepers..

 

So far no one knows the other three. We're probably all secretly hoping we won't have to play this """game""" for three more days.

Secretly? What do you mean secretly? I'll say it loud and proud. I don't want to do a balancing act anymore! XD

Good point! TNT ~ please don't make us do this through the weekend! :whofarted:

Cool, I finally go the Fire Muffin after coming back to it a few hours later.

 

Does anyone else think the next step is going to be a battle? It would make sense to give all plot participants battle dome items (like what is happening in this chapter) and then have a battle.

Didn't TNT say they weren't doing war plots for some time? I don't want one. :(

I've also gotten both the molten rock and the fire muffin. I got the rock whenever the notice on DNP first appeared [yesterday] NST and I got the fire muffin at around 12:30 NST today. It took about 10-12 turns (it was a lot more than 6 I can tell you that much).

 

At first I thought it changed every 12 hours but now I am thinking that it does change every 24 hours... but we'll see what happens tomorrow...

It took me 12 rounds of attaching the machine in time to get the fire muffin. I kept a tally while I was doing it and something else I noticed is that instead of a ten minute interval I only had to wait about 5 minutes between each one unlike yesterday.

So we can say it takes about 10-12 turns to do it? I think we can add that to our guide. :)

Yep, took me 6 tries yesterday, 10 fresh tries today to get both items

 

Oh yeah, also another theory I've been reading is that the Muffin will only be up for 12 hours since the rock took 6 tries and was only up for 6 hours. Although, people are still getting the muffin...I'm not sure when it was first released though (some say 12 AM NST, in that case the theory is false).

The Roxton Key Quest token was released in the NC Mall for 500 NC. It comes with Roxton Slippers which are about the silliest things imaginable.

 

I equipped them here just to let everyone see what they look like.

I wasn't able to get the Molten Rock last night. Is this needed to finish the Atlas of the Ancients plot? ~username removed

Don't worry! You don't need the Molten Rock to complete the plot. It's a nice item to have, but you can still finish the plot same as someone who has it.

That's just very nice from TNT. What about the users who are asleep at night and weren't even able to play at that time? Can I just say this is the worst plot ever? Badly revamped games, a 'puzzle' that depends only on luck and plot steps that can only be completed in the middle of the night?

Hey everyone! Got the fire muffin after my 17th game. Missed the Molten Rock last night, pretty bummed, oh well...

This group thing is an epic fail. Now people are going in just to mess up groups.

How do you know that they are purposely screwing things up?

They either don't move or repeatedly point the tube to one side.

 

I had to play it five times in a row before I finally got one to work.

Man...yeah that's terrible. I bet they probably already have the items and are just being...

:( Exactly. I've quit on three of them so far. It shouldn't take four minutes to click one arrow. lol

Yeah, it could be lag or maybe they forget. But...yeah. I'm glad I got what I needed earlier if people are starting to do this.

QUESTION

Do we have to have a streak of machine fixing or can there be failures in between?

There can be a failure in between. Because I still got my fire muffin after failing once.

As I said earlier, due to people messing with the game, I failed a few times.

 

You can fail in between plays. You are not required to have a string of successes.

boohoo

im still sad about the molten rock.

:sad01_anim:

People are selling it now for 90k :( What does it even do? lol.
