  • Mumsie pops into BP and hands OB a thick envelope, she asks him would he please pass it on to Ripsy (@rdnzlrips82) and explains that it is an extremely long letter full of apologies for everything she can think of that may have, in some way, offended, hurt or upset him. It is a last ditch attempt to see if he will have pity on her and give her a Challenge that will enable her, despite her appalling record in Challenges past, to at least get into the top 50 if not actually win a puppy. Mumsie then whispers to OB "don't forget to have a bottle of his favourite tipple to hand next time he comes in with a message tag saying 'Mumsie loves you xxx' attached!"
    Mumsie leaves feeling she's done all she can do to get herself an easy Challenge and just wonders how to stop all other Nesters from competing with her when it arrives!
  • @Mumsie I just want that puppy too
  • @Mumsie and @Hunnybunny -- My experience is you get a puppy when you least expect it, in other words when the AB gods shower you with luck. So if you are wearing you fingers to the bone on a given level and can't even improve, wham! you'll find you have not only top score in the challenge but a new puppy as well.
    Good luck!
    @Mumsie -- AB Nesters can sense an easy challenge level better than sharks sense blood in the water. Good news is that all you have to do to get a puppy is beat the top score when the challenge started. (Sure hope I right about this.)
  • @hunnybunny -- Just made it above average in all of TorT! Didn't think I'd be able to do that a day ago. @E-Stars videos really helped. Also I find that I do better earlier in the day. I'm definitely not a night person. Don't even know if I could fling a bird past midnight even if sort-of awake.
    Congrats on your high score on 1-5. It's enough higher than second place that you ought to be able to keep it for a while.
  • @Kathy I'm ready to move on to the next world when you are! I've had about all I can take of tatoonie!! Bleck!! Let me know when your ready :)

  • Happy Belated Birdday @Mumsie!!!!

    And I would also like to assure you that you (or anyone else) have done nothing to change my favor and I pick these levels in the most completely random fashion possible. I literally just look at a list of the levels that haven't been used and pick one. It can't be any more random than that. I don't research the levels. I don't open the potential choices to see what fun/torture it will be. I just pick them. The only ones that don't make the list are levels that have reported collapse abilities that might increase one's scores.
    But I will gladly take this bottle you left me and share it with you the next time we happen to be here at the same time. :D
  • Hi @ripsy! I hope you are doing well. I can't say I've joined the daily challenge fun yet as I'm challenged enough by my own high score questing, but I sure do appreciate the comments that come out of them when I come along in the aftermath!
  • Hey Ripsy sorry i gotta get some sleep..will see you tomorrow maybe..if your around..good luck with the tourney

  • Hey there @ABcrazy. I am well. I have spent the better part of the past 3 weeks writing some new music and plan on hitting the studio as soon as possible to put them down. I have also been giving @mighty some work to do on ABF. We are on week 5 of our own little competition. He took the first week from me while I was sleeping, but he hasn't taken one since. And it looks like I will be walking away with my 4th win in a row this week.
  • @kathy I should be around. I hope so. Danielle has to work straight through until Monday. So I will be on a bit more.
  • @ripsy @mighty Gauntlet thrown. Answer??? :-D
    Writing your own music, how cool! What kind of music?
  • @ABcrazy. This is actually my second album. The first was written and recorded about 10 years ago.
    It's mostly comparable to something you would hear on an Indie/College Rock station. Very down. Very mellow. Sad sort of fellow type stuff. Heavily influenced by Radiohead.
    The new stuff is more Iron & Wine-ish. Sam Beam is a genius.
  • @ripsy I'll look up your references, but your description immediately reminded me of David Bowie 'Low' from his days in Berlin. Sorry if that is way of the mark. Prolly dates me a bit too.
  • Well, Radiohead is incredible. There is also a hint of Pearl Jam in some of my earlier stuff. But Iron & Wine is very, very strong. Especially the earlier stuff. Very soft. I can throw some around for you.
  • Radio head I'm familiar with. Looking up Iron & Wine, but not able to play samples right now that I could really listen to with it being family tv time. Will def check it out when I can.
  • I just saw that post about family tv time @ABcrazy. Check them out when you can.
  • Family tv time such as it is. My 1 has at least a decade on your several. ;-) I like the Lewis & Clark. Just listened, kinda dreamy (or is that me at the moment?). The Iron & Wine link wouldn't play.... Said it was incompatible with my device ? iPad? No works with utube? .? Huh.
    Anyway will check out more tomorrow. Time for me to snooze out. 'Nite!
  • I know I am at least two years too late, but I will whine anyway about the Santa Hat Glitch. I am just starting Seasons, but I don't see the point in entering scores here for SG. In fact, it totally ruins trying to compete for total score in Seasons. Bah humbug :(

    Maybe I will start Star Wars instead... sigh.
  • Or take a long break from AB. Not happy at all about Seasons.
  • Good morning @all! What a night...first I woke up, 'cause hubby was snoring, I poked him and he stopped but then he started to talk while he was asleep...I tried to fall back to sleep, but there was one freaking fly buzzing around our bedroom. After a while I lost my nerves, got up and started looking for a fly swatter. When I finally found it and got back to the bedroom, that freaking fly wasn't there anymore. Well, at least now I'm prepared for the next night xD
  • *poof* *shines KitKats flashlight for her use tomorrow and sets out candles to see her safely to Dreamland * Sleep well @KitKat and awesome job in tatoonie yourself!! We done good and made our mark!! :)
    *grabs bags of goodies, stuffs them in pockets to poof over to all the babies homes for their nightly treats*

    @bpc I didn't have the luxury of the hat glitch either and while it ticked me off to no end I was able to get a pretty good placing in the leaderboards even without it, albeit not as good as those that had the glitch, you can do it but man does it take a Lot of extra work on the glitch levels! But @Kitkat and I were able to get above avg. even in those levels so I know you'd be able to with your skills. Just wanted you to know it is doable if you don't mind the frustration of knowing the glitch made it easier. ;)

    Off to give the babies their goodies! *poof*
  • @ABcrazy - thank you! That snapshot was a boost to the old ego! Off to play golf - no surprise there then!
    Ok Ripsy - I believe you that but it was worth a try! Must try to be on the same place at the same time soon!
  • Hi @all
    Congrats @mumsie!!! For your birthday and that very high score! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K3kdYVPoDuw
    @kimmie give us a snail update.
  • @Kimmiecv, @all, the SHG in Seasons spoils the leaderboard competition to such a degree, I can't see putting any further time into Seasons. I love the game, but the playing field is far too uneven. I am very disappointed, I had been looking forward to Seasons. Oh well.

    I thought I would either go back for a second run through Rio or start Star Wars, but what I really need is a long hiatus from AB... unless there is a fantastic new update, or a whole new game ;)



  • Hi @bpc
    What do you mean by SHG?
  • @tas - I'm pretty sure that @BPC means SG :)
  • SHG=Santa Hat Glitch

    The original SG release had a glitch that made certain Santa Hats on the pigs act like they were pumped full of C4. Pretty fun to watch. But unfair for those that don't have it. There is a version of it floating around the Nest for JailBroken iOS users.
  • Makes averages very hard to get. E-Star's recent SG revisit includes those levels. Very few break average on those levels without the glitch. Unless you are a Cyborg. :D
  • Yeah, I heard about the glitch. Wasn't a member until after it existed though.
  • Me either. But I play Android and as far as I know, there is no chance of me getting the glitch version.
  • @BPC I know what you mean about the SHG, I started playing just after it was removed so never had the benefit of it. SG is my lowest ranked episode in Seasons & I haven't been able to reach average on all the levels (let's leave out the fact that it's my least favourite AB episode EVER so perhaps I haven't tried as hard as I could) but in the big picture SG is only 1 of 16 episodes, only 25 of hundreds of levels, so doesn't mean a whole lot in terms of overall Seasons ranking.
  • And I know it's not Tuesday but I'd like to whine a little bit if I may, I'm having a heck of a time breaking average on ACB 2-11. The train is really cool to watch at first, but after several hundred flings it's not so special. I have a feeling I'll be flinging at this one for a while.
    OB could I get a large coffee & a Pigmuffin please? Thank you :)
  • Hello all.
  • @karen I had the same train problem.

    Hey @mighty.
