  • We do seem to be pushing quite a few nesters to new heights in Blossom River. But as @JLZ666 said, it's just the buzz of the month.
  • Take care not to push it @Estar. We want you back on a more permanent basis. If that means small doses for now, so be it.
  • @Rat, okay I've given you a more challenging homework assignment this time around…finally matched your score in BR-13 so the lead is now almost 2K. Good luck.

    Hi and bye @Estar.
  • I just noticed that @fenikus. Already took care of it. Your move.
  • Ha ha ha ha ha ha I need to borrow your most evil laugh for this one @Estar. I just turned the screws on @fenikus
  • Hi @Rat I thought you were coming up here to give me a smackdown.

    This just isn't your day, my friend. @fenikus has made some kind of power move, and though I haven't posted it yet, your last remaining high score went bye bye 2 hours ago.

    This is usually the point where you dig deep and come up with some ridiculously untouchable score, right? :)

    OK, maybe it is your day after all. Nice job
  • Nighty-night, @EStar, @JLZ666, @HunnyBunny, @rat and the rest of the BR gang, @all. (I'm playing BR every day too, but my scores are despairingly . . average.) See you 2moro xoxo
  • You evidently haven't looked at the scoreboard since I put the coffee IV in @Kelani. Challenge accepted and met.
  • Good night @TomPuss. Pleasant flinging dreams of the river.
  • Jeez hubby is going to throw a fit if I ask him to pause recording again.
    Well I've posted early scores in BR but not yet commented or posted any strats. By the time I do pay it seriously the good strats are there already and the last thing I want to do is fill the walkthroughs with "yeah I did it that way" blurb. I will always comment if someone has helped me and I'm always psyched to help someone else. I do love a challenge but not just because it's flavour of the week.
    Mr @rat I didn't shout on heyyou did I?? Heck I'm tired :(
    @estar dinner was fab and Master Chef looked delish so about to make a pot of nighty night tea and have a choc biscuit (yeah shoot me)
    Have a great evening folks
  • Aaaaah yep. Ya did @JLZ666. You didn't see all those whiskers twitch your direction?
  • Btw @fenikus, I thought we called this off this morning when we essentially tied. I was thinking of playing in someone else's sandbox for a few days. What am I saying? I can do both. Bring it on.
  • @Rat, where did you find extra 2K in 2 minutes???
  • OK @fenikus. I did what I set out to do. Proved I could play in Seasons if I so desired and caused a little buzz in so doing. I went back and read some of my posts and they come across a little mean. Never my intention. You can have Blossom River and I'll go back to my real desire, Space!!! It's truly been an honor playing with such a good flinger as yourself. Keep them on their toes after I leave. Bar tab closed.
  • Level 13 @fenikus. I had a good strategy already. Just needed to implement it.
    And the coffee IV didn't hurt. @Kelani had reminded me a few days ago to play 13 with the strat I gave them. I just hadn't gotten around to it until I saw your strategic nuclear strike.
  • Oh @Rat, the River will never be the same without you, I'm sorry to see you go. I never took offense to any of your comments and I hope the same goes for you -- to me it was all in good fun. You are one mean flinger (no pun intended this time, lol).

    So maybe we'll match our wits again in a new episode of Rio, or perhaps I will come play in Space when new episode is released.

    And now I will try and go for a kill in BR!
  • Ha ha ha ha ha Give em' heck @fenikus. I'll still watch to see how bad you're treating them at the River. And who knows, I might drop the big one on you myself sometime in the future. Speaking of the river, I just got a few more points, need to post em. There's still plenty of room for improvement. Hopefully I helped show you that much. Come visit me Space if they ever come out with a new episode.
  • aw @Rat you could do both. I'm glad you finally used your awesome #13 shot. I still think there's several levels where you could make some really nice gains. (Basically any where you're not in top 10, or my score's higher than yours.)

    Any idea which Space levels you're gonna go after? I'll be back there as well after I finish this one.
  • I was thinking of visiting my old friend @Burpie in Cosmic Crystals. @fenikus reminded me of how I had lost first place in two episodes of Space. I haven't played in forever. Time to go back to my own sandbox. Btw, 206k is possible in two birds on level twenty @fenikus. I almost had it.

    Always leave em' wanting more @kelani. That's my moto.
  • BFNIMCBLIDK Things to do.
  • Happy May Day (in Hawaii) @everyone!
    It's time for celebrating: http://www1.honolulu.gov/parks/programs/leiday/

    Drinks are on me, so please enjoy! OB, I'd like a Marmoset Killer please.

    Happy Flinging!
  • One last thing @fenikus. Look out behind you!!!!! There's a passel of flingers headed your way.
  • The wife and I never talk about Hawaii anymore @SweetP. We've had reservations and plane tickets to go twice recently. Both times we had to cancel because of catastrophic events in the family. We think we're jinxed. So Hawaii is off our bucket list.
  • Man, Rat. Now I don't have the heart to add my score on #11. :(

    @SweetP Yay! :) *throws assorted flowers in your direction*
  • I'd be disappointed in you if you didn't @Kelani. And now I'm late. Bye
  • @Rat, I see them. My goal is to reach 2,580,000 like you proposed and then take a break (keeping a watchful eye on my domain though). That may put me in #1 spot but I preemptively declare a tie between us in Blossom River…we both deserved it!

    @Kelani, nicely done…let's see if that BR-11 score puts you in front of that passel...
  • Well...that doesn't make me feel any better about it! :P If I'd known you were gonna ride off into the sunset, I'd have chased after @fenikus's scores first.
  • @fenikus last night it would have put me at 3 or 4. After today's action from the passel, I'm not going anywhere except 2.3k closer to Klara. Foiled again!

    Yes, you both deserve it. That's why I don't wanna post the score. Overall is nice, but the man deserves at least one #1 too. :)
  • @Kelani, you've got to post it. Just do it.
  • I will eventually. Just need some free time to write out the strategy. I'm trying to finish my final edits on the New User Letter/Quickstart Guide proposal thing. Editing mode kills my ability to multitask. Almost every time I do it, I wind up with untouched room-temp food or drink next to me. :)
  • Just rejected a $4000 buy-out on the app... it was a small company with little reputation or fame... opinions?
  • Just before I say my nighty nights can I give a quick reminder about the life of Ayrton Senna? It's 20 yrs today that he died but I remember that awful crash like it was yesterday. I've watched formula 1 since I was a little girl and still watch it religiously but his loss still effects me. I was 21 when that crash happened. Roland Ratzenberger who was killed in qualifying the day before also needs remembering.
    Sorry,just watched a documentary about it again so had to speak out ;)
    G'night all X
  • @jlz I remember that. We had lots of Brazilian exchange students staying with us over the years, and two of them were close friends of Ayrton and his sister Viviane. When he crashed, they flew back to São Paulo for a month to be with the family.
  • Your not one of those trying to hide there age are you @JLZ666? Because if you are, you just let the cat out of the bag. Forty-one, forty-two on August 24th.

    Post it @Kelani. I would!!!!
  • @AngryBirdSpace(Cartoonist) I know nothing about apps, but I do know $4000 is a good start towards college.
  • @AngryBirSpace(wannabe) Holding out for a better offer. Smart! But I'd eventually sell. You're so smart and talented you can come up with a new idea for a strip. Call it "Reasons not to" or "Sisters". That's something you probably have a few funny ideas about. Bubbles. Write about what you know.
  • @AngryBirdsSpaceMaster If they're offering $4000, clearly they think it's worth a lot more than that. I'd ask what they project their profits would be, and if it's ridiculously high, go for a percentage of that.

    If not, ask for $8000 and 5% royalties. Then send me 1% for giving you the idea :)
  • @Rat yeah yeah, yeah, I posted it. Didn't make any difference though. Been lotsa people making ridiculously big gains since last night.
  • @Kelani, that's your strategy on BR-11?? It's exactly how I got my score (which I did mention here) and actually the same as video strategy. I thought you were doing something else but congrats on the top score.

    Edit: Okay, maybe not exactly as video strategy, but close enough.
  • Oops. Guess I shoulda watched the video? Nah, It's like #15. Micro-timing and angle tweaks make all the difference. Out of curiosity, what did you think I was doing?
  • I watched the video. It is the same idea, but aiming and timing is different.

    edit: close enough to make me look like an idiot ;P I still wonder why nobody tried it (except fenikus) I think people did the smart thing and skipped the video for the RatStrat(r)(tm)
  • @Kelani, bomb bird on top of platform at the base of the crane. Clears EVERYTHING on top except right tower and if done right lots of damage done to the raft. White bird bombs rest of the raft, ricochets off the top of the platform and ideally triggers TNT. I say ideally because that hasn't happened for me yet.
  • I'm doing an @Rat impersonation today. I tweaked my back this morning. Not fun!
  • Keep writing your strats @Kelani. We like and appreciate your prose. Us word challenged flingers just say shoot at the structure. Wow, structure. That's a big boy nine letter word. I impressed myself.
  • Yes, @Kelani, keep writing. I was just surprised that it wasn't something different.
  • My back is in terrible shape @Mvnla2. But it's my neck that controls all aspects of my life. I wish that on no one. Treat it with care, hot/cold, maybe an asprin and take it easy. Don't do extra bed rest like a lot of doctors say. That's not good on a back.
  • @mvnla2 ouch :( Hope you feel better soon.

    @Rat why thank you. I'll keep writing 'em as needed, just think a nice pic/video gives the clearest...picture. Strategies are a good example of less is more (to a point). Overdoing it is akin to someone writing Longfellow above a urinal.
  • @fenikus I tried that approach many times. If you can make it work, I'd love to see it. I couldn't even clear the right side w/White, and where I had to drop the egg to reach it didn't do much raft damage. I might have been bombing the top in the wrong spot. I was trying to get the crane to fall over, since that damaged the raft more than the egg.
  • @Kelani, FWIW, I think both yours and @rat's strategy have the same points potential. One advantage of @RatStrat is you don't have to worry about one of the marmosets from the raft bouncing to the left on to the tug boat and surviving, which burned me at least a couple times I though I'd beaten 130K.
