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
Manta Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Geez, that's nearly 5am Wembly!! You should go to bed xDDD As for myself, I made it to bed before midnight for the first time in several months, waking up at 7am only to realize that lab got moved from 8am to 9am :rolleyes_anim: That would happen, hahaha Quote
Spritzie Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 It's nearly 6:30 here. I've been up all night. I have to pick my husband up from work in about 15 minutes. Then I'm going home and crashing until... way later. Quote
Iona Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Hey folks. It's another day of returning from school and immediately ending up on this topic :P Today was rather slow and dull. What's more is I've got so much work to get through tonight and a lot of things that deadline tomorrow that I've not started yet. Looks like I'll have to get my act together and stop procrastinating :( 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... Haha, well it worked :P Quote
Wembly Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Okay, no joke, I just sliced my finger open on an ice cube o_O only me. Quote
Wembly Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Haha, yeah. It's really only about the size of a paper cut but it was rather a deeper cut that I thought was possible from frozen water <_< Quote
-Ryan Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Lol Wembly. It's oky, i've managed to hurt myself with much odder objects. :P Btw, guess who just got an application form thingie to volunteer at a hospital for 4 hours a week over the summer? 8D Quote
Wembly Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Umm, I'm gonna guess you? That should be fun I suppose and it will definitely be a nice resume booster for you. Quote
-Ryan Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Yup. Plus my AVID class has community service as a requirement so I hope this'll count for next year. Quote
