Is There A certain Time For The Updates, Or Is It Random?

Kzinistzerg 09-02-2006 05:09 PM

It's roughly once a month, but not on a definite schedule frrm what i've seen.

Pantsy Nancy 09-02-2006 05:20 PM

No Imean Is There A Certain Date? Like Oct./24/06?

Kzinistzerg 09-02-2006 05:26 PM

No. They don't have teh date but it's usually easy to tell when there's an update.

FostersFriend 09-04-2006 12:20 AM

Did You Look In World High Scores To See What Else You Need To Get?

Since the other floors are shown on the elevator controls...
Is it possible to unlock the other levels?

Theres more than just content updates, they seemingly do bugfixes too. Unfortuantly I have not been playing the game that long, but the last two updates look like this:

v1.3.7 -15th August
v1.4.0 - 21st August

No in the current game, the level data just does not exist for them. The firist updated opened up the 3rd floor, and the second opened up the gounds to the rear of the mansion, so its assumed that the next update will open another floor of the mansion.

Sparky 09-13-2006 03:21 PM

They'll surely unlock as we get new updates. Or rather, they'd better. ;)

HappyFoppy 09-14-2006 07:53 AM

You automatically get new levels when CN updates the game.
The next update is somewhere around the begin of October 2006.

Pretty simple, Breezy. Get high-scores in the mini-games, go to the 3rd floor, and look for the door the says, "My Room". Then find places in the room to put the furniture in. If it all dissapears, play the mini-game again until you get the hight-score from last time. ;)

That depends on Who told you to get them and where they said the sissors where.

if you cannot remember the best course is to go back to the character that gave you the task (or bloo if it is an adventure) and cancel it, then restart or get a new task but make sure you read what pople say more carefully next time.

Where can you find Bloo? He's not in his room anymore.

Bloo's destination depends on what adventure you are on.

Holloween adventures: across the hall from Madam Fosters Room.
Augusts adventures: in Coco, Ed and Wilt's room
Original adventures: in Bedroom on Second Floor next to stairs to third floor.

Monty - Actually, if you are in the middle of an adventure or favor and can't remember what was said, if you go to notey and click on the question mark, there is a box that records your conversation word for word. That way you don't have to cancel!

If you're doing a favor for Wilt and he asked you to find his scissors, you just have to look around the house until you find them. Hope you were able to!

Really I never noticed the Question Mark,
Was this documented in the tutorial?
I know they updated the tutorial but I have not read it since June.

Monty:-/

montitech 10-12-2006 08:59 AM

I just checked while doing a favor and the Conversation was in notey.
I do think it is in a bad spot being intergrated into the HELp pages.

I looked over the Help pages and it was documented that the "Say Again?" section was under the "?"(Help) section. HOwever it was only documented under the Topic of "Notey". Personally I think it should be mentioned again under the topics of "Favors" and/or "Adventures".

Personally I think it would be more appropiate to have the "Say Again?" section either under "Current Activity" on the main "Game Stats" page that way it is more intuitive to find it.

<just my two cents>

Currently the game has 33 adventures, but the game makes you play through the current updates set first. Once you have finished this months six it will giving you earlier adventures untill either you finsih all of them or the next update happens.

If you started playing the game as a new player at the start of this month it whould give you adventure 28,29,30,31,32,33 and then 1,2,3,4.. etc...

Point System
 
Could someone explain the point system to me?

It seems that just when I think I've figured it out, it gets random on me.
I try to play every day, (but can't always), always do a favor, and here and there use the "call a friend" to empty out a spot or two on the bar. But, sometimes I am credited when I "call a friend" and sometimes not.

I'm fairly dense, so please bear with me. ;)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23.../sprinkler.gif


I just found Monty's comprehensive post in "Bloo's Adventures"...
That was a big help and answered most of my question.

Though, I am still wondering about the "call a friend" feature - about getting points randomly
???

Exacly what do you mean by points and point system. if you mean the number of each chore to do, that is a random number that is smaller if you login at least every other day.

please clarify

Monty:-/

Trippetta 10-17-2006 02:18 PM

Thanks for your help, Monty.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I basically play similarly to what you mentioned on your other post:

"Thus in order to get a popularity point each day you must have a free spot in your friendship bar. I usually keep my friendship bar at Three that way I always have space to do a favor.

I usually do 2 of my duties and then Half of the third, then I call a friend to complete the third duty that way I always use a friendship point."


My question is about the citizenship points - under what circumstances do you receive citizenship points when you use the "call a friend" option to complete chores.

You mentioned that using the point will complete half - rounded up - of your total number for one chore. I have noticed that isn't always true for me.
For example; One time, (at band camp), I had a full friendship bar, completed 4 out of ten of a chore. I opted for the "call a friend" option but it took 3 "friends" to complete the chore. Shouldn't it have only taken two?
And this instance I was credited. Actually, I had three or four Citizenship points to start and this filled the bar.

However, other times using the "call a friend" gives no points at all.
So, I am confused. :jk:

Rognik 10-17-2006 02:46 PM

Here's what it details in the help files.

Do a favour for one of the friends - gain one popularity point and one friend
Do a duty - gain one citizenship point
Call in a friend - half of the (total) tasks for the duty is complete (completely done if 0/1)
Go on an adventure with Bloo - gain 6 popularity points

So, if you have to, say, pick 7 white flowers, and you call in a friend, then 4 flowers are picked and 3 flowers still needs to be picked. If you call in a friend again for that chore, it's completely done.

However, I'm sort of curious: if you call in a friend, are the "tasks" completed removed at random from the maps, or do the chore locations generate randomly?

Ok, but...
I had 10, completed 4. That left 6. I called in a friend, which only took away 2. I then had to use 2 more friends to complete the task (2 each). Then it gave me (approx.) 6 points. I should have just needed one friend. I should have gotten just one point.

Tres bizarre.

Thanks, tho!

It must have been a glitch, Sparky originally reported getting more than one popularity for favors when she first started playing.

It should have taken only 2 friends to complete the remaining 6 and you should have recieved only One citizenship.

also I have experimented to see what happens when you call a friend. It actually does the chore for you. for example I went to the Dock and called a friend to finish Feed Cyrex the Sea Monster. when I turned off notey there was a Big Bite out of the Dock. Thus the Duties remaining are randomly Done for you.
I have had the game crash in the middle of doing chores and under that situation. The chore can randomly change, Usually keeping the Numbers but changing the locations and sometimes changing the floor of the chore.

Monty:-/

Trippetta 10-18-2006 11:47 AM

I had originally been unsure whether you received the point or if using "call a friend" would forfeit the point, since that isn't specified in Notey.

At any rate, its a good glitch. :frankiesmile:

Thanks for all your help!

Hey Guys.

I'm sorry if this was asked before, I haven't seen it on any other threads, although I may have missed it.

Is it possible to "catch up"? I only started playing in September.

yes it is posible to catch up.

Playing evey day it takes an average of two weeks to complete each update.
Thus when people "Caught up" they then have to wait for a new update to be released next month (like myself), While people that started Later are able to continue playing without waiting for the game to expand.

High Scores
 
In something fishy, bloo's brothers, curse of the bloo pearl and potatoes calientes...I've beat my high scores and I don't always get a collectible or new pics. Is this normal or am I experiencing a glitch? Also, what qualifies as a collectible? I have the outer space furniture and I've collected 2 buddies from Goo but the present icon never shows up next to my name. Do you see the present icon or just other people? :confused: :confused:
