nightfall8705 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have been trying for MONTHS to get a Better Than You trophy. Thing is, I'm tres horrible at games. Well, most of them anyway! So, when I saw that this week's challenger was Tyrela Softpaw with the game "Let It Slide" I was very excited. I really like that game and it took a lot of time and patience to get a decent score. I very easily beat Tyrela and got myself a cute little snow Snuffly, 3,000 NP, and a spiffy third place trophy! I'm really happy right now. Finally my patience and practice has paid off! Now please excuse me while I make myself a fried bologna and cheese sandwich and dance my happy dance in the kitchen. <3 lianakos, Duskitty, neopets98 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubit Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well done! I'm very jealous, hopefully one day I'll also get it. Did you check it every time to see if you knew the game? I need to get into the habit of doing that, as there's quite a few games I might be able to get it with. nightfall8705 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 congrats! it's great that you caught a game that you're good at. :) nightfall8705 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfall8705 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks guys. I did actually check it with every game. Some games I am okay at, but "Let It Slide" was one of those I had to practice a bit on. At one time, my highest score was over 2,800 and I knew I usually got 1,100 or more in the first level give or take. It took a lot of practice because Snuffly tends to slide into trouble and I had to time my jumps just right to avoid my enemies. I was happy to get the higher score, and so easily too. And for those of you who are interested, my fried bologna and cheese sandwich was godly delicious. I was so happy, I decided to be nice and make my brother a sammie too. His had a fried egg and salsa on it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavecrown Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Wow, good job! It takes a lot of patience to earn a Better Than You trophy! Chubit: Checking the Better Than You game every week is precisely what you need to do to earn it. There were a few times before I got mine that I checked too late to be able to earn the trophy for a game I knew I could have gotten the score on. Just be persistent, and eventually you'll get there.

Shelley Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 YAYY!! Oh my gosh, that's so awesome!! :D I'm still awaiting for a challenge to come along that I can tackle. Mmm now I'm caving a bologna and cheese haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcpet Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Good job! It took me a while to get the Better Than You Trophy/Avatar too. For those still trying though, it's usually easier earlier in the month because I believe they base the BTY scores around what's on the actual high score tables (which are usually lower earlier in the month).

is_love Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Congrats! I remember getting lucky & catching a competition early once, and still just barely making the cut to get a bronze trophy. I'd love to upgrade to a silver or gold but I am awful at remembering to check as soon as the new challenge is released (and I am awful at most of the flash games, haha). Someday!

Rune Valentine Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Congrats! It's certainly one of the trickier avatars/trophies since you have to wait for a game you can actually beat xD I remember getting mine by beating an Usuki Frenzy score :P The hardest part of it all was having to remember to check weekly for what game was up.

nousha Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Congrats! I love that Challenge and I always check on Thursday morning to see if I can try my hand on the game. I already have the trophy but I enjoy the items a lot. Sometimes the games are just impossible for me but most of the times I at least give them a try :) That's what I'm going to do now, wish me luck :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowupthesun Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Congrats!! I've never beat one, because I'm also pretty bad at games. Ugh, that patience thing is the hard part! That's awesome, way to go :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lianakos Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Congratulations! You are really lucky to get a game you are really good at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well Done! I tried for a while for that avatar and trophy. I think I tried every challenge for about 3-4 months straight before I finally got to play a game that I was good at. Congrats :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we beg TDNs they will do a little better than you counter for us, where you can tick the games you're good at, and they come up, they'll message you.

nightfall8705 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks guys! I just recently got the avatars for Gadgads Game and Snowmuncher after trying for months as well. I think that if you really want something, you have to put in the time and effort to attain it. Some people are just really good at flash games. I was proud of myself for sticking it out and just trying my best. Let It Slide is actually a really fun game once you get used to it, and how cute is that Snuffly? Good luck to everyone else trying to find a game they are good at! I need good luck to master LIS's third level. Poor Snuffly gets in to so much trouble in level 3!
