  • Good Morning @Estar. We were talking about an Angry Birds Hall of Fame yesterday. I think you should be the first inductee. You've brought a lot to the nest with your flinging skills, your Admin skills, your helpful videos, and your always cheerful help for anyone who needs it. I can't think of a more deserving individual for the "Hall of Fame". Three cheers for our Star...
    Hip, hip, hooray
    Hip, hip, hooray
    Hip, hip, HOORAY!!!!!
  • Awwww Mister @Rat not sure I deserve a spot in that hall of fame, considering I am not even in the top 5 of Seasons and no where near completed with all the other games. But just the suggestion and your ever so kind words make me not only blush but also smile big time. Thank you my dear friend!

    How was your night? did you get some sleep/nap time?
  • *hears cheering*
    Hip Hip Hooray!
    Hip Hip Hooray!
    Hip Hip Hooray!
    *Cheers* for @E-star Hall of Famer!! Woot !!
    *poofs back to work*
  • @Kathy You expressed some concern about my Space crown last night so I flung a few in BI #2 this morning. You'll be happy to hear that I now have the lead. Whoo Hoo!
    Btw, I'm not sure how I got the lead back. @Romo's got me beat on 15 of the 22 levels. So look quick. I'm not sure my lead will last the day with that hungry whippersnapper out there. ha ha
  • @Estar Your too modest. Your star has shined all over the Nest.
    No sleep at all last night but I'm thinking of trying again in a few minutes.
  • Congrats @Pa !! #1 Space King! ! I knew you could do it Pa:)
    Hip, hip, hooray
    Hip, hip, hooray
    Hip, hip, HOORAY!!!!!
  • I appreciate the cheer Ma, but I never lost the Space crown. Just first place in Beak Impact. Although he is coming up fast in overall Space as well.
  • @Kathy ghi thanks for joining in mister @rat cheering, hope your workday flies by for ya!

    Mister @rat modest smodest, I just don't do well with being in the spotlight, but I am ever so happy that even in this virtual place we call the Nest my natural outlook on life and love for helping can shine thru.
    And Cheers to you for getting back your place in Space > Beak Impact... hee hee that rhymes LOL. Even if only for a short period of time, you will always be my number one in all of Space :)
  • Awwwww....go on.
  • May the Sleepytime spirits be with you Mister @rat and may you have a long long power nap or or... if they are really in your favor... a short actual deep sleep sleep :))
  • BFNIMCBLIDK But I hope I'm asleep.
  • Just looked at your board mister @rat and although you yourself would probably want to be in #1 in all the episodes I think those rankings per episode are amazing and mweeeeh the overall rank is the one that really matters imo.
  • good luck Mister @rat enjoy every minute of it!
  • Good afternoon to you all guys. Just pop in for a minute to come back to your mentions:
    @kelani multiple devices? Yes, I also do. And I do post the highest score for a game on the leaderboards. In that case both .lua files have to be uploaded. A simple screenshot isn't enough - or it must have been taken at the end of a game (that's my favorite) - with the bonus birds still to count. Perhaps an idea for Rovio to display the highscore in a different color, when PU's were used? I don't know what scores people get when using the PU's. Honesty is a part of your nature - you are or you are not.
    @kathy I saw your comment about the #21 game - I didn't had the time to try it. I will, I promise. I need it, it's a long way to go to reach mr. Ernor. Thanks anyway.
  • Hi @all
    I just stop by, say hello~. And found @rat9 beat me on BI-part2. TT
    One bad thing is I'm still working. During recent a couple of days, I couldn't play ABSp at all. More bad thing is I ate lunch alone over 3PM and dinner over 9PM even it's my birthday today. I'm fully tied to urgent situation by customer. So sad and blue. Maybe, tomorrow would be worst. Moreover my boss and customer are squeezing me. Haaaah~~~ No fun until fixed the issues..TT.. Sorry for complaint.
  • Back to work...TT
  • Hello @everyone, Happy Hump Day!

    I'm just stopping in briefly to let you all know you don't need to send out the search party. I've been MIA working and also trying to get my new business off the ground. I haven't had very much time to do any flinging either, I'm so busy :-/

    OB, I'd like a tall glass of strawberry lemonade please. It's been miserably HOT on this side of the pond and it feels like I'm melting every time I have to go outdoors!

    Well, that's all the free time I have for now so I hope that you're all doing well.

    Take care everyone and have a happy flinging day!
  • @BeautifulVVorld The least I can do after you're going to let me stay in first for 24 hours is to wish you a Happy Birthday. And my birthday wish for you is to get all the overtime you can handle. Never enough money you know. Work, work, work. ha ha
  • Hi and goodbye @SweetP. Everybody is working hard.
  • @Rat9 Thanks to your wish for my birthday, I played 10min and improved 2k on BI-2 just before going to bed. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the best thing among today happening. Good night~
  • Hi @rat I appreciate your opinion. You are one of the best flinger in the world and an older gentleman beside that. Let me just explain that telepod's swaps are not unlimited, they are limited to one swap, so you are wrong about reapeated usage of birds. I use leaderboards for keeping my statistics not for competing with others, but as I really love this community and wouldn't like to become outcast for sake of being on the top of any leaderboard I will ask administrators to remove my scores. I don't consider being the first player on the leaderboard as victory and you and others make it bitter taste....
  • @kathy no whining on wednesday, that is awful. I got plenty of reaons to whine today. Finally got some time to fling, results are poor.
    @estar I completely agree with @rat - about the things you do for us nesters.
    Many, many thanks for all your efforts.
  • @kathy I found out about the BP when I was exporing
    The forums
  • @bernersenn unless there's a check that prevents a higher score from being replaced by a lower one, importing from a second device would overwrite all the scores from the first device. Also, the .lua files actually save info that proves a score. Each level has four saved scores (highscore, lowscore, powerupscore and legitscore), which can stop a lot of typos and PU scores. But there is no way to avoid importing glitch/DCB scores. The .lua file considers them legitimate, so they would be accepted. In my iOS and PC Rio, I have at least 10 DCB scores (that I know of).

    As for PU scores being in a different color, I'd love to see that on screenshots, and you know I love the "screenshot required" idea. I wish that would happen.
  • @kelani correct about the color. And it even should change color again when you reach a highscore that is higher than the one you got with the PU. But, I cannot tell if that is real thinking - never used these things
  • Oh my, I heard that WHINEEE screaming all the way over here on the west coast @Rat9!
    Sorry your day isn't going as well.

    Oooh! and I missed a birthday too! Well, Happy Birthday @BeautifulVVorld! Hope you're enjoying this beautiful day!
  • And I most certainly agree with everyone @E-star deserves all the kudos for being such a great help here in the Nest! You are very much appreciated, and we couldn't ask for anyone better.
  • @Kelani When you say you get an extra bird every time you swap, does that mean you can swap multiple times in a level and get multiple extra birds in that level. Or are you, as @Cosmo2503 said, limited to only one extra bird per level. As I haven't played Stella, I don't have a clue. But with what I read and have heard, it sounds like you can get multiple extra birds. My opinion earlier today was posted out of a love of the nest. It was not meant to impune @Cosmo2503's character or leave him with a bitter taste. I respect his abilities but am having a problem accepting that any flinger could legally get 50+ top scores and most of the others in the top 3 in an episode while staying in the accepted nest guidelines.

    I offer my humble apology to you @Cosmo2503. My ignorant opinion should have stayed in my head where it could do no harm.
  • @Rat If you use coins to buy a swap, you get an extra bird, which takes the place of the "original" bird that's in the sling. It hops off the sling and becomes the "on deck" bird. Once you fling the new bird, it hops back in the sling, and swaps become enabled again, so you can repeat the process. If you have enough coins, you can keep swapping the first bird for a new one until there's nothing left. You then get the 10k bonus for all the unused birds from your original lineup.

    @cosmo2503 says that telepods only allow one extra bird. Since I don't have any info from anyone else, I have to take his word for it. Given how his scores aren't 80-100k above the pack like the exploiters getting a full-lineup bird bonus, what he says seems accurate. If so, he's playing by the rules.

    His ability to get those scores is partly because he gets one "free" swap per level. Non-telepodders have to pay 40-80 coins per swap. I beat the game using no coins and only got 2100 of them. To buy 1000 more costs like $59.99. And that'd only be enough to swap 12 to 25 birds (insane, I know). With 131 levels at 3-8 birds per level, that'd cost a fortune for someone to do all of them. Instead they're saving them for the wall of pigs "boss levels"

    Also, there's not a lot of players (Ep1: 119, Ep2: 50) posting scores, so the line between legit and bogus scores isn't really apparent yet.
  • @rat you are speaking right out of my heart - absolute second your meaning about these swapping and get 50+ topscores. If that will be allowed I think it's the end of our competition. When it will be able within Stella than they have my blessing - just means that I never will play this game. Tried some games, got bored about the amount of birds you have. Already mentioned that in the first game of it. And, I think, the exchanging of our strats - together with getting a highscore once in a while is the base for our addiction, isn't it? Rovio, please don't take this away from us.
  • @Rat Hey, we like your opinions, especially when we agree with parts of them :) So, don't sweat it. Even the players are just as confused and annoyed about this idiot move from Rovio. I posted many times that it had to be a bug. Lots of scores that took advantage of it have been removed over the last week. It's a mess.
  • @bernersenn once you get past the first 20 tutorial levels, it's a very fun game to play, and I will keep playing it. Since it's free, it's a nice diversion if you have nothing better to do. I just wouldn't waste time entering scores on the leaderboard.
  • I just synced my progress from my android to my
    Apple but not all the achievements I should have ):
    (But I got Angry Birds Addict play for 30 hours :)
  • And l will take a Mac & Cheese with Ham
    And a sprite please ;)
    Working on Red's mighty ferders
  • @sweetp and @bernersenn all are you are ever so kind, I guess I never will get used to that blushing feeling. Most of the time I feel like I am running around like a chicken without a head hee hee
  • @BeautifulVVorld, love the name, but my confusing between here and the main site. @bernersenn left a note in the birthday thread referring to you as @romo and I needed to think for a couple of seconds as I did just read the BP notification and read @BeautifulVVorld had his (I hope you are a he, if not, oops my bad, don't mean to offend you). Anyway... you don't have to answer that question (certainly don't if you are a teenager LOL... are ya?? hahaha)... but what beautiful age did you reach today?
  • @e-star that blushing feeling will go away. You deserved it. To tell the truth: on the daily challenge I first see if there is a video of you. Nowadays very easy with the extra line in the walkthroughs. I am creating my first videos and have experienced what this means. Restart-restart-restart-etc.
  • @e-star I also left a note, was thinking about 'completing' the list. But when people have to speak for themselves - read it is policy - I can live with it
  • @bernersenn just so you know... I will delete the last comments in the thread as I now understand what you meant.
  • @estar why aren't you allowed in the kitchen? Makes it kinda hard to go get snacks :o(
  • @estar that is fine. About confusion: @estar here @e-star there. You know how old I am? +1 very soon :-)
  • @estar, in that case you can better remove both last entries.
  • @bernersenn you didn't think I would miss that would ya... duhhhh the coding and comment are sitting in my text editor for a while now hee hee
    Ow and I will leave the comments that are there now, for one, it might help @BeautifulVVorld to jump to there and second others will know off my policy to only add if one places a comment there.
  • Ermmm @kelani long story, but in the beginning of the BP I kinda made a mess of things and blew up the kitchen. @Sunshine was not happy and OB gave me the evil eye for weeks. In real life I am also not allowed.. really I am a klutz when it comes to cooking... IKR?! But Hubby and I made a deal from the get go (I learned from the previous relation, never do EVERYTHING), I would do the administration, cleaning and laundry and he does the cooking AND the dishes :) been that way for almost 13 years and it works.
