Neomancer Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Seriously? Is there anyone who can be bothered to play this game at all? I can't even get myself to play it three times a day for the NP. It's just so slow and boring. :sad01_anim: Maxdestru333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 First: Its slushie slinger. :P I dont really like the game but since its a bonus today, I have to play it for my team. I usually start the game, then play 5 SoSD games while the customers rack up to earn more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomancer Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 See, that is how much I care about this game :P I don't even know the name. Or I've been playing SS too much! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I never play Slushie Slinger. I don't have a fraction of the patience to do so, and besides, I'm really bad at that game. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizyMarie Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I actually don't mind SS... but I dont like that you have to get a high score to really make it count for your team... I ... don't exactly do well enough for that. I get low scores but am trying really hard to put through scores because we are getting points.

Neomancer Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 That is not a bad idea to just get the bare minimum of points (300) for it to count. But I find just grinding SS or MSN is still faster in the long run. Arguably, you can play 12 rounds of either quicker than one game of Yooyuball, except you will be going insane pretty quickly.

Jonahman10 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I remember when Altador had the most wondrous Slushie Slinger record, and it was our focus everyday. However, Its probably my least favorite of my games because of its length.... jonathanjoseph99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It's a wash whether I play YYB or SS, in terms of time and YYB equivalents. I play 4 MSN or 4-6 SoSd after starting SS, then I go feed the crowds by rows (starting in the back), collecting glasses as needed. Once I've cleared the room (leaving the slinger to wait for the empty glasses of the last row, usually the back row), I go play 4 more MSN, then return and clear again. Then I can usually play another set or two of 2-3 SoSd between turns, and then send as soon as it hits 300. It makes it kind of fun to be running around like crazy. I do something similar in YYB: during the pauses on the initial game start-up screens and after every goal (during the tiny pause before "press space to continue" appears), I play one game of SoSd. Really, SoSd by itself is fastest, except when it hangs sending scores. jonathanjoseph99 and Finn the Human 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleline Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. I hate it so much that, until today, I haven't touched it. And even trying to suffer through it for the sake of my team, I only got through 8 games. I only plan to play it on days when it has bonus points and as you can see, I won't do much. I think part of my loathing comes from the fact that the very first year I participated in the AC, I mostly played SLSL. Finn the Human 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Ğǿǿmy~ Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I just played it once and dont want to play it again for another 10 days. UGHH its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long and draw out and BORING. Oh and Neomancer its Slushie Slinger, Not Slushie Showdown :P Finn the Human 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxdestru333 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I don't like SS it's too slow. It's longer than YYB, yet less important so why play? Finn the Human 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voteforpedro333 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I play SS quite a bit (at least in this company haha). I try my hardest to get over the 600 point range each time, and 700 when I haven't made any stupid mistakes. I've gotten a max score of 717 during this cup and my record highest is 728. Last year I sent 200 SS scores and I plan to beat it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgJu Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm actually kind of getting into it this year. Last year I only had like 33 games the whole season and I'm already approaching 100 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcpet Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I don't think SS is that bad of a game. I just don't like playing it because it takes long and is not worth the time for the amount of points you get for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisuperstar Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 My team is one of the bottom teams so I don't think it would make a difference, plus it takes to long to play 1 game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyn Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I still haven't found any love for SS... I hated it the very first time I played in the AC and I still hate it. might be because it reminds me too much of my job LOL! but really, I've only played 3 games so far and that was just to break up the monotony of YYB for a little bit!

Mireia Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I like slushie slinger, but not for playing a lot, I use it to relax after some YYB games, and while I'm playing SOSD. I think it lasts too long, in my opinion, considering the number of points given to rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 lol....i think i'm the only one that actually likes Slushie Slinger. :P Nope, I like it too. It reminds me of an old Atari game, except that you could run down a row to collect glasses instead of having to wait for them to come to you. The game I loathe with the burning of a thousand suns is YYB. Especially new YYB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurokiwina Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I much rather wait for the counters to fill up and then start playing, the game's just so slow to start out with. I send as soon as I hit 300. I think its the worst in terms of points per time spent playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm OK with SS.....I mean I'm good (though I'm good at pretty much any of the games), but, I'd rather play YYB. I'd rather play SS instead of MSN though, because MSN has made my computer crash in the past. :/ In fact I don't really care for the side games very much as a whole, the only side game I'm into playing is SOSD because of how quick it goes. And YYB by far, being the main event, and it's where the action is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
