Whelp. My laptop doesn't want to register clicking the mouse and the keys at the same time. :T Hopefully if I can grab a mouse I'll be okay for VRII. Otherwise, it's going to be more or less impossible to get that score. Wah.

The 'play 50 games' thing is total, right? Not I have to send scores in 50 new games by the end of the day? Because I started the day with 46 qualifying games played.

DAY 7:CHALLENGES:1. Are We Almost Done Yet? ( Complete at least 50 games on the Qualifying List) Oh, 50 instead of 60? I guess after the harder games incident they lowered the amount? Eitherway it doesn't matter as you don't need to send in any high score to have a game be counted as completed. I provided a link to the list above, just play through the games you feel like playing and check back with the challenge page to see if you completed the challenge. Not that hard, AND if you already completed 50 games you just need to send score in any qualifying game (even if you already completed it, thus no need to worry about the lockout glitch!) and you got it! But now onto the ones which could be challenging:
2. Baa..Boom! ( Score 434 or higher in Petpet Cannonball) This can be a very hard game if you're not good with angles (made worse with the Petpets weighing differently), but there's an alternate way to play! If angles aren't your thing you can brute force it. Its tricky to get the right spot every time the round starts, but try aiming the cannon so that it looks like the Petpet would barely touch the top. Then fire the Petpet AT FULL POWER (or close to it). If you aimed it right the Petpet will go into the basket not needing to mess with the angles for each Petpet. If the Petpet hits the basket aim a bit higher, if the Petpet shoots over figure out whether you need to provide less power (I found in later levels you want almost full power but full) or aim a bit lower. It may take some tries but eventually you'll get the hang of it and get the score needed! 3. Scaling New Heights ( Score 47000 or higher in Shenkuu Warrior II) I played on "Training Mode" (which is more like Story Mode) though I think you can also play "Zen Mode". Honestly all I can tell you is just get to the top as that's how you'll get the most points. You an collect the coins either by having Terrana hit them or hovering your mouse over them but your main focus is just getting to the top. If you see a kite use it to give you a major height boost. A good thing about Training Mode is that if you fall it lets you start the level over (I think Zen Mode ends your game), so for beginners Training Mode is the best way to go. Also Terrana would go up higher the bigger the distance she and the edge she grappled onto it, so you'll want her to fall a bit before aiming for the highest edge you can see to get the most height. Finally there's really no need to know where Terrana is, just focus clicking on the next edge. You should have enough points by the end of the 2nd level. I'd also complain about the prize they rewarded but they changed (so you'll change that but not a controversial one?!). Basically first time it was just a modified version of the gold trophy (at first I thought it was the trophy but I took a closer look and it was different), but now its just the grappling hook. Eitherway its a gift so its useless. 4F. Did Somebody Switch Off the Fan? ( Score 440 or higher in Volcano Run II) Oh hey, team exclusive challenges, thought they forgot. There are two factors of the score you should remember: Collecting gems and distance you flew. When you collect the gem that's permanent even if you die, but the distance you flew resets (saving your best time as your score). So what you want to do is mainly just survive to get as big as a distance score as you can get. Of course you should also collect gems, but don't risk getting hit by boulder or fireball just for a gem. Also after getting 450 points worth of gems they stop appearing... but you got over the score by then it doesn't matter. Other then that just remember "c" moves you back, "v" moves you forward, and rapidly clicking the mouse will make Glubgar "hover". 4S. Skating on Thin Ice ( Score 44 or higher in Rink Runner) Ooh, well I scored over 44 in the past but don't remember much about the game. Here's JN's guide. What, me play it? Well that would be helping my opponents, silly. Huh? Directing my opponents to a better guide than my general advice is probably helping them more? Well... shut up, that's why! 5. Neopia to Grundo, Can You Hear Me? ( Score 300 or higher in Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars & score 232 or higher in Lost in Space Fungus) EFfBtS is easy once you know what you need to do. First off the bonus points are your friend, BUT don't collect it until you blasted at least 10 Evil Fuzzles. This is because it starts out as a x3, but it becomes a x4 after shooting 10 (though oddly never goes above that). So shoot 10 Evil Fuzzles, collect the bonus, and repeat. When your buying upgrades for the next level buy, in order, the next gun level, the self repair bot, and then as many armor repairs. Strt the next level and repeat what I told you about scoring and upgrading and you're good to go! LiSF is a bit more tricky as for some levels they just BARELY give you enough circles. So once again I direct you to JN's guide which has pictures telling you where to place the circles. And that's it! DD 2015 is finished! All that's left is the final prize and then we can enjoy a month of rest and relaxation, it's not like there's anything else big happening soon. Speaking of which what is the next annual event... Ah yes, Advent Calendar, and that's starting... tomorrow... oh boy...

22 out of 24 challenges completed isn't so bad. I definitely got tripped up by Edna's Shadow and Wicked Wocky Wobble.
Visually, it looks as if Fire has the slight edge over Snow, but it's hard to tell and the percentages for both are @ 50% each (I think JSN forgot to do some updating). Ah, we'll find out tomorrow which side won.

Well, I do have to say, aside from JS giving AAA the wrong name at the start, they managed to go through an event with no major Eff-ups.

Oh man. The gold fire trophy looks freaking amazing. 8D Much want.
So, managed all gold checks! *Flops over*
Not a bad event, thankfully. Some hiccups here and there, but so far, probably their best work.

Was waaaay too busy to earn all the gold checks, and I still can't get a high enough score in Edna's Shadow. Trying to do what I can tonight.

It wasn't until today that I finally learned that you can cash in those bonus points in Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars (after I got the score doing it 'my way', mind) Why do I always manage to make things more difficult for myself?
It's looking like Team Snow wound up winning. I completed all the challenges already so I'm not sure if the challenge closed at 51/49 or if people can still send scores.

 Worth pointing out for 2 things: 1. The percentages do not seem to line up with the indication of who won (I was on Team Snow), which is slightly odd. 2. "WOW, THESE PRIZES ARE INCREDIBLE" seems a bit, uh... on the nose? Anvilicious? Sarcastic, in my case? xD |
