    @guibird297koge, thanks.  Will check over the next few days.

    @sb311 – thanks, just accessed and now hoping for resolution.

    I reached the BigPig room in the Daily Challenge today with just Blues remaining.  Almost immediately there was complete self destruction.  Anyone else experience the same?

    @jwgardenwiz

    @sweetp – FYI – there is zero self-destruction in level 27-11


    @dante-mele
    – It takes a little luck for both blue potions to affect the pig above in level 27-11.  Keep trying, you will succeed about 10% of the time.

    @sweetp – as @joseantonio explained, self destruct for Flock Favorites 20-11 begins immediately every time you play.  I managed 205k in a complete destruct but had several runs with one “lone survivor” which would have resulted in 206k had that last pig popped.  With patience and luck, 206-208k is possible.

    @joseantonio – thanks for your post about Flock Favorites 29-11.  There must have been some self-destruct way back when ABO was still untainted by PUs because my high score was 199k.  I went back to try again and had several complete self-destructs but could only get scores in the low 190’s.  Then I had some luck with both orange potions surviving the fall and had complete destruction with 201k and 202 k – my new high.  I plan to replay the whole ABO series over the Winter and will report back any new self-destructs.  Higher scores may be attainable for 29-11 but I’d wager that 203 to 205 is the upper limit.  There were about 2 dozen stone blocks remaining after my 202k attempt.  Flinging another bird would not have paid off and I can only imagine a few more of those blocks of debris being destroyed in the self-destruct, but stranger things have happened.

    @exora – As long as you finish in the top three places, you will remain in the Legendary League every week forever.

    @jwgardenwiz

    @exora – If you finish the Arena Legendary League in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, then you will stay in the Legendary League for the next tournament.  Places 4-15 will be demoted to the Diamond League.

    I still enjoy the competition in AB2 but am missing more and more the good old days and the purity of ABO.

    @psygaz – the changing of names on the Arena leaderboard has been going on for a lng time.  I noticed it mnths ago but did not react since the new player names had the same number of stars (and profile) as the old ones.  My question is, “Do all of the players on my leaderboard see the same leaderboard?”  I cannot see how the possibly can since some of their profiles indicate much lower Leagues.  I even occasionally see players on my Legendary League league leaderboard who have only just begun playing AB2 and have not net unlocked their entire flock.  … Raises a lot of other questions.

    I lost count of how many times I played level 1606 and never reached the final screen with more than 2 birds left.  Once Pity Mode activated, I reached the final screen with a full flock, used 4 birds to finish off the KP and got nearly all of them all back.  Made it through 1620 so I am just waiting for the new levels to appear.

    @Steinbird – I hope that your new clan works out for you and that we meet in a future clan battle.  Best wishes.  J8m

    @ndpndnt – hope that it works out for you and that we cross paths in a future Clan Battle.  Best wishes, Jim

    @jwgardenwiz

    As the number of active players grew, I bowed to the wishes of the clan and we now have minimums for the events:

    3 points for the short 200 point events

    6 points for the 400 point events, and

    9 points for the longer 600 point events.

    we always complete the e=ents and strive for as many free en5ries in Clan Battles as a member can play.

    @jwgardenwiz

    @Steinbird and @Ndpndnt – I apologize for not responding sooner.  Resend your clan requests.  I’ll attend to them personally.  We are very active and hope that you will be too.  Jim

    @jwgardenwiz

    I am most definitely NOT a fan of the extended streaks.  I can win them but only if I invest 5 spells on every level 5-10 just to match my higher FP opponents.  I can accept losing to a more highly skilled opponent — still do not like it — but the competitive advantage in the extended streak seems awfully arbitrary.

    @dlangley – sorry, I confused you with another member.  The clan is now “closed” but, if you request to join, I will approve immediately.  Jim

    @jwgardenwiz

    @dlangley:  Didibird – try again.  I missed your chat explaining your low-level ofplay.  Hope that your daughter is fully recovered.  Kids are tougher than their age would suggest.  Jim

    Juan, Thank you for your post.  I thought that maybe I was imagining things when I activated Silver against stone and wood and he just bounced off.  I kept thinking that maybe I activated too late or maybe I had tapped the border of my iPad instead of the screen.  I’m glad – kind of – to know that maybe it wasn’t my fault.

    This has probably been asked (and answered) many times: What is the significance of the color and design of the frames that surround my flock?  I see lots of different ones and gather that it’s related to FP or progress but what is the real explanation?

    jwgardenwiz
    @jwgardenwiz

    @rizdub – Thank you for your efforts.  How do you identify differences between updates?  It cannot be easy to do.

    jwgardenwiz
    @jwgardenwiz

    @apprentice – You aren’t missing anything, the only way at present to move to an earlier level is to keep ‘sweeping’ the screen to the right until you reach the spot that you want.  I frequently go back too especially when one of the daily quests is to earn 25 stars.  Getting three stars on a level that you have already beaten does not advance the star banner in the upper left of your screen, but it does count toward the 25-star quest.

    Just keep trying.  Finally after a boatload of attempts, I got my share of Golden Pigs.  I completed 1460 with 6 birds left over.  Too bad that I cannot save them for other KP levels.

    jwgardenwiz
    @jwgardenwiz

    @yue-zhang – as Stuporman explained, we do take time to be sure that a player has lost interest in playing.  I get some ‘heat’ for not acting more quickly but I know that even the most active players have lives outside of AB2.  Work or school conflicts, family commitments, lost or stolen devices, WiFi problems, illness, … , can all interrupt play for days or longer.  Loyalty to the clan goes both ways – I must be convinced that a member has ‘moved on’ from playing before I open his slot.

    jwgardenwiz
    @jwgardenwiz

    I only have one (Red) and thought that it underperformed.  Then I thought that it was just my imagination.  Now I am uncertain.  I’ll watch more closely in events, battles, etc.
