Expand I have to ask: how? I mean, I made All-Star one year, but I only managed to do that because I was unemployed at the time, so I didn't really have anything else to do anyway. I guess I just never understood how there can be enough hours in a day to quad-max. Or how anyone can manage to quad-max without going insane.

But SOSD's the smallest of small beans isn't it, it's just a big deal for me, lol. Quote

Though now I've hit All-star and I don't have something telling me how many games I need to rank up I'm a little rudderless. I have maxed out SOSD today, but not much YYBing's been happening. Quote
AgJu Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 As far as quad-maxxing.....i dunno how it did it. it was five years ago, during Summer, i didn't have school or a job and Terror Mountain was juuuuuuuust starting to gain traction in these things so i felt compelled to go go go and had all the time in the world to do it. I guess i just felt like challenging myself to see if i could and once i did it one day, i had to do it the next and the next and the next, and then when i found out about that Absolute Corruption page that tracks everyone's overall performance and being able to see that i was on top, i then felt compelled to KEEP that. The max number of games you can send in a day has dropped in the following years....i think back then you could send a max of like 1200 games of SOSD, for example, while this year its 400? There's also a minimum score to hit, so you don't have to play the games ALLLLL the way through, which REALLY helps with Slushie Slinger....i'll post a pic after this and it shows i did FOUR-THOUSAND games of SS; definitely would not be able to do that playing all the way through. Anyway, for SOSD, you only need to score one goal for it to count towards your rank, so even with 1200 games a day, that can be taken care of the quickest, by far. MSN, you just tap the keys til you get about 3000 points, hit space, and send. SS, what you would do is start a game, switch to a different tab to play a handful of games of MSN (or SOSD if you choose) to wait for the initial wave of customers to build up, then fire off those slushies til you hit the min of 285+ and send your score. YYB was the only game i would play all the way through each time cuz it carries the most weight (or so i feel) and i liked the bonus of seeing how many goals i could score. All in all, it took me about 12-14 hours a day, for like 30+ days, which is why, even with the lowered max over the years, its not something i plan on doing again anytime soon (to say the least). The trophy is on my user lookup (AC IX), but here are pics i took just to capture the "glory" lol P.S. I think Neopets is being poopy again today. Anyone have yesterday's results?

MysteryAF Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I've tried Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown, both of them show this when I send a score: I think I won't play any more during the AC anyway, I was getting burnt out. Quote
