Iona Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hmm.. most I've ever got in Crisis Courier is 800ish. That was a very long time ago though, I only played it when it came out, haha. Might go make an attempt at it now. Think I may have to go for Abi this time though... Thanks for the congrats everyone! :) Ugh, another typical day.. returning from school, wiped out, eating everything I see... going on the computer even though I have a pile of school related things to deal with. Bah. Oh and I've got a BC entry for the upcoming competition, if anyone wants to take a look and give me an opinion you can check it out here. Thanks. Quote
Wembly Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Aww, you're shoyru is so cute! Awesome drawing. :wub_anim: I love crisis courier. For some reason I'm really amused by it, though I must admit I usually get bored and quit by level 4. I'm totally just about to start my pig out mode too. There are tons of amazing left overs in the fridge and I'm super excited for chow time :yum: I started my pig out with an amazing biscuit :wub_anim: Quote
Spritzie Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Ahhhhh Faerie Shoyru!!!! Those used to my only and biggest Dream pet. :D I wanted to paint Spritzie (My Blue Shoyru, who was my first pet ever created, over 8.5 years ago) but I could never bring myself to do it, because she's been Blue for so long. Though I might paint her Maractite when they release it for Shoyrus. Oh, I got distracted didn't I? The drawing is gorgeous! :D Let me know when the new voting is up, and I'll vote for her. I remember when I couldn't score over 700 in Crisis Courier. But I just kept practicing, and the more familiar I got with the game, where everything was, I knew what was coming and was prepared, plus I got comfortable enough to take risks to get higher scores earlier. Like I can have nearly 2k by the end of the second level now. Quote
Iona Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Aha, yeah I loved palebloo as a Blue Shoyru too. I got a Fountain Faerie Quest though and was really keen on using it. It was a choice between Faerie and Maraquan (this was UC at the time) and in the end I went for Faerie. I really wish I hadn't converted her now, I did it because I wanted to give her a background and they didn't allow them on UCs at the time. Oh well. Maractite Shoyru sounds interesting! Thanks guys :) Sounds good, Wembly. There are no treats in my house right now... except from my mum's cereal bars, which are disgusting (I just tried one). But then I took 2 plain crackers, spread Nutella on one and then placed them together to make a sort of biscuit chocolate sandwich thing :whistle: I shall go play CC now. Will practise a little but I probably won't have the patience to attempt AAA. Quote
Wembly Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You know I've never actually had Nutellla. Everyone says its amazing though. I definitely think you can beat AAA. You only have to get like 1/2 way through the 4th level at best so with a little practice I think almost everyone should be able to do it. Quote
Tedhaun Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 If you ask me about Crisis Courier, my all time greatest score is 5,970. I'm just proud that I play this title everyday, so I had the upper hand today. :yes: Quote
Iona Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I honestly suck at this. Can't even make it to 2k... It's frustrated me, I'll go back to it later. Quote
Spritzie Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I really need to focus and improve my score. I beat him with 3505, but I want to get higher. Quote
Iona Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Congrats :) Good luck. I sincerely doubt I can get 3500+. Just do not have the patience right now. So I was curious as to whether or not I'd be able to add my BC entry to a BC forum in a few days but I could not find one. I checked the art forum's rules here: http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?/topic/31-art-forum-rules/ and it said that BC entries aren't allowed on it and you need to post on the "appropriate forum", but the link to wherever that is showed me a page with an error. Any help? Quote
Spritzie Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 For your BC entry, we don't have a specific board for it, but I'd say Neopets General Chat should be fine. Quote
Iona Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Ahh, I see. Thank you. Cool, may add it to there when it goes up then :) I searched the whole "Past Winners" section for my old elephante entries. It took me a while but I found all of them, they all got 3rd in 2007. I must say my 12-year-old art skills were pretty awful :laughingsmiley:... personally I think I've improved a lot since then. 4 years later and I'm finally entering again. :rolleyes_anim: EDIT: Oh, I actually managed to score 3,820 on CC. Glad I didn't give up and choose Abigail. Something AA said on the Crisis Courier topic about playing for survival rather than collecting everything influenced me to change my strategy and it worked. Thanks! Quote
Divya Bean Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Good luck in the BC iona! I managed to beat AAA! Woot woot! My score on CC before this was a measly 500, but I played the game a few times and I did it! :D Quote
xLaura Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 bleeeeh....going to class tonight, 3 extremely boring hours of early american history. Quote
Tedhaun Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Crisis Courier is painful with a track pad By any chance, do you mean those tablet things that laptops have, Not Tyler? Just taking a guess. :whistle: Quote
livvy Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 He clearly means a giant mat on which you must run to wherever you wish the mouse to go. :yes: *points at own track pad with highly trained hamster* Run left! Now down a little! Good Gertrude! Quote
-Ryan Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Pffft, a hamster? I use JB as a slave whenever he annoys me for mine. Quote
livvy Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 As a staffer, I've taken a solemn oath never to enslave members for my own purposes. :( So I had to train a hamster instead. Quote
-Ryan Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Really? Could've sworn I saw an entire slave barracks area in the staff backroom last time I broke i- I mean... Uh... Last time I was invited, heh. Quote
livvy Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 You've been in the staff area? *pulls out walkie-talkie* Alert, we've had a breach in security. This could get serious. Check for other leaks ASAP! *ahem* Now if you'll just step this way... *holds completely non-suspicious-looking door open, leading to a completely harmless-looking not-totally-dark room* Quote
Wembly Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Haha, that was great. I really enjoyed that banter. Quote
antiaircraft Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Ryan, so how are we doing on the fire extinguisher team? :shiftyeyes_anim: Something AA said on the Crisis Courier topic about playing for survival rather than collecting everything influenced me to change my strategy and it worked. Thanks! You're welcome! Considering how terrible I am at that game, I'm happy to have managed to help someone somehow. xD And there's a reason I have to play for survival... Thanks to our wonderful friends responsible for developing Flash player over at Adobe, I can have a Crisis Courier experience like no other, soaring through the skies with FIVE SECONDS of lag time. As a result, I have the opportunity to engage in the wonderful activity of attempting to anticipate and execute the required movements several seconds in advance. Oh, hang on a moment - it's not really five seconds of lag time. It's anywhere between four seconds to six seconds, depending on how many structures, bags and enemies are being displayed on screen at that particular moment. So I even get to have fun attempting to judge what the level of excessive CPU load will be for the next few seconds and adjust my actions to compensate. Thank you Adobe. Flash player has made my day. Sarcasm intended. Quote
Spritzie Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I wish CC hadn't been so laggy today. It was insane, and I would have been looking forward to using today as an excuse to go way past my usual scores. But I didn't want to deal with it for long after I beat AAA. It was ridiculous. Quote
ThisIsJ Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I stopped taking risks and started playing for survival as well...managed to keep all four lives until level 4..which is where I got the score. I probably won't play that until it is once again required for some kind of challenge lol. Hopefully everyone can get through tomorrows game without lagging and such. I hate how it's 1:25am, and I'm starving. Quote
Wembly Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Oh man, I just read that and thought 'Ooo food would be nice now' and its officially 440am :eh: why am I awake when I so want to be sleeping :sad02: Quote
