  • @silentassasin hey glad you found us:) drink on me!
    @rdnzlrips82 hope you get some rest:)
    I'm on lunch..gonna fling some birds at monkeys lol see you all in a while
    *waves goodbye puts on slinging gear* steps out into rain:(*
  • my starting score for the lotd is 106360

    strat: shoot the red bird exactly horizontal straight. Use the Blue Bird for the last monkey on the right.
  • 112,030 the first strat listed on the walkthrough is the money strat. Don't throw 2nd bird unless you get 60k or more on opening shot.
  • rd and trishohara, how in the world are you getting the second from the right marmoset to die with the first shot? Or are you able to get the last two with the blue bird? I have been trying most of the morning to do either of these. I think the evil pigs have put a forcefield around them.

    I just wanted to check in and see how things were here :). back to birds after lunch, if I get errands out of the way, that is.

    rd- I am so glad things went well last night, take care of yourself and everyone at home.
  • @rdnzlrips82
    @trishohara
    wow I got a ot of improving to do...lunch is over, sneaking in ladies room to check in..seems all is well here:)
  • @wanda shoot blue birds low over the debris, luck will take over.
  • Hi, everyone, I'm back. I think I will check out todays level. :)
    @rd, everything going okay? :)
  • 114,900 shot me to 15th place.
  • I'm flinging away @sunshine!! the beach is giving me energy. There is nothing like hitting that first shot just right and watching everything crumble to the ground!!
  • A tip on the second shot: let the birds complete one full rotation. This puts jewel in front with a little more momentum. I will post my findings on the walkthrough in full later.
  • @rd, I glad you this idea for a level of the day, it's fun!!! :D
  • OB - Could I get a hopping monkey over here while I try to figure out the trick to using Blu & Jewel? Up to 103k, but I know there is a lot more available if I could figure out these birds.
  • @rd thanks for the tip about letting the blue birds rotate. I got an extra 2k on my score. It does give more momentum, and these birds need all the help they can get!
  • @sunshine. how was your drive..loong I betcha.sit back and relax:) you've had a busy couple days
    OB I take a hopping monkey! good [email protected]'m still working but...oh well lol..haven't really had a chance to play lotd..couple times I tried. I failed:(
  • @burbman, one hopping monkey coming up, I think I'll join you, sounds great, and taste wonderful, refreshing!! :)
  • @Kathy, thanks, yes, few long days and drives, back safe and sound enjoying the hopping monkey!! :)
    Let's listen to Free Bird, it sounds great after a few sips of a hopping monkey! Lol haha :D
  • @wanda - my first shot today (when I wrote the strat) really killed all but the very last monkey. But i couldn't improve my score, only got 105k.
    It didn't happen again, yet.
  • @trisohara, my scores not as good as your, but improve dramatically!!! :D
  • @Kathy It is not even lunch time here, but as they say, It's five o'clock somewhere!
    Trying to use @rd's tip on letting them complete one rotation, but I must be firing too low, cause they crash into debris before they get through the rotation. If I trigger to hit a particular spot, the top bird usually pulls the other off line and I miss completely.
  • @burbman you want the bottom of the "sling saddle" to be barely inside the water in the background.
    @all I posted my strat on the walkthrough but it is currently pending moderation.
  • Any tips for Mooncake Festival 1-10? It's driving me crazy, aaaaaaaarghhhhhhhh!!!!
  • Let me see what I can come up with @mikkor. Are you wanting to be above average?
  • Yes, above average. Thanks!
  • LOD, first bird a little bit high, ended up clearing entire level but score was only 82k. Bet I can go lower!
  • Okay @mikkor. Fully zoomed in. You want to high-arc White Bird. You want the belly of the bird to be about a vertical wood plank's width away from the wooden sling base. Activate bird so the bird smashes into the horizontal stone plank right above the bunny statue. This should bring everything on the right side down with the potential for a 1-birder. However, you won't get the points you want with the 1-bird. Then, aim Bomb Bird a little above horizontal to break through the two vertical stone blocks. You can mess around with manual or self-detonation. This should get you above average.
  • It's tough but keep working on it. I know you can do it @mikkor!!
  • @mvnla2 Interesting idea that is similar and has been tossed around before. We may add a "Country" field to the profiles and allow that to be viewable. In a similar way to if the leaderboards are ever expanded (by that I mean filtered) to show only 1 device or something, we may do something similar with countries.

    Again all hypothetical.
  • @slim - let me buy you a round. That test looked a little stressful! For some reason I thought you were the teacher and not the pupil!
  • @Slim, let me get you some food from the kitchen, you need to keep that brain fueled!!! :)
  • @mikkor I wrote a more detailed strat on the Mooncake 1-10 walkthrough page.
  • @AMSlimfordy -- Hope you got an A+! Must have been a take home exam -- way too neat otherwise. Any more exams (that you have to take), or are you done for the summer?
  • I need a break from flinging. I'll have an Arnold Palmer, Orange Bird. I little more Lemonade than Tea. Thanks, friend!
  • Delicious!
  • Thanks guys ( @Burbman @sunshine @mvnla2).

    1: I am both a teacher and a pupil. Unfortunately, until I have those 3 letters after my name (Ph.D.), I have to be a pupil.
    2: Yes, it was a take-home exam. If it weren't it COULD be that neat, but certainly not in pen.
    3: Sort of. Both of my exams were due today, but I have to give an exam tomorrow evening and grade all day Thursday (and possibly Friday).
  • @everyone..wow another busy day!:) that's awesome ..I am finnaly home from work...you all know what that means!!! LOL. gottahave my after work drink..I think today it will be a' hopping monkey'..how's everyone doing on lotd? @Amslimfordy nice to see ya..:)
  • @rdnzlrips82 Your Awake!! hope you got some rest! besides the peanut nap lol:)
  • Wow Slim, that is an impressive piece of work (I replied via twitter, lol!) regarding your point 2. I'm assuming you're better with pencil? I know I am, and not just because I can rub it out, I just seem to make less mistakes! Good luck with the rest of your studies (will we have to call you Dr. Slim soon!)

    Also, would you mind if I asked you about a couple of things at some point? (There's a couple of issues I'm having with some complex number stuff) :)
  • @kathy I haven't slept a wink. I've been flinging and writing strats. Right now I'm getting ready to fix dinner.
    Hello @amslimfordy. It's always nice to see a VIP join us here. Good luck with your exams. If you need to blow off steam after finals, we could throw you a party!
  • @rdnzlrips82 don't wear yourself thin...momma bird needs you healthy;) a party. for @slim sounds. good:)
  • @kathy I'll rest when the boys go to bed. I've fulfilled my daily quotient of flinging, so I can have some down time later.
  • @rdnzlrips82. o.k :).. I'm not getting notifications again that's weird! get some but not all.wonder why?
    I am just getting started on lotd, just on my way to read your strat!:)
  • Thanks @rdnzlrips82.
    I can help you out some, @Laurence, though that should likely be via email for several reasons. Most notably, we don't want to give anyone a headache here. BTW, is this complex numbers, or any complex analysis (e.g., analytic/holomorphic functions, etc.)?
  • @kathy try restarting your phone or reconnecting to the network. Sometimes that helps me. Good luck with today's level :).
  • @wanda ty ill try that:) how're you? haven't really seen you, we arw on different time frames I think;)
  • @AMslimfordy just complex numbers, de Moivre's theorem and Euler's relationship really. Also, transformations on the Argand diagram, and Circles of Apollonius! I think you're right - discussion via email probably better!

    I should, however, be doing geography now, it now 10:15 pm and this essay's due tomorrow - I've been distracted by maths and AB for too long already, so I'll be back once this essays done! Thanks Slim!
  • @amslimfordy I am serious. Us here at The Pig would be honored and delighted to throw you a party. You tell us what your favorite pint-filler is and we will order you two kegs worth.
  • I enjoy a pint of Newcastle every once in a while. Or a Leinenkugal's Honey Weiss.
  • @slim We would be Honored to throw you a party.:) We ' will order up your favorite snacks:) and I am sure @sunshine and @E-Star. would lovee to plan a party:)
  • @Kathy,@Slim, absolutely, it would be my honor, how about you E-Star?? :D
  • @ Sunshine, sure I love party's :)
    So soon to be teach and mister Ph.D. (wow, know I get the IQ badge (O_o), I am soooo not getting the terms you used!) what do you say :)

    btw Sunshine, You lured me in the Bloated Pig via email notifications, sneaky, I so promised myself I would get to bed before midnight! *note to myself* "ah well, better luck next time"
