Thoughts I had while trying to get The Great Qasalan Caper score: "Are those statues of Nabile? Oh, they are." (I didn't know this until today.) The "plot" of the game is that Jazan ordered 100 gold statues of Nabile made to show how much he loves her.
...I've never bothered to count but I wonder if there are only 100 statues in the game, or if it lets you continue indefinitely. meanwhile his people can't eat bread this game is about the decadence of the royal family. |

Yeah, I never payed attention to the plot of the game as a kid and I didn't play it again until recently. You learn something new every day. And who knows. Maybe. (I personally think no, I think 100 is just a nice round number, but you never know.) I would count but I do not want to play that game until I count 100 statues. |

Okay...I finished the rest of the challenges first so I could try TGQC with less pressure weighing on me. Now I can devote the remainder of my free time today to that game. Gah, I'm still so nervous since my previous high score was less than half the needed one. D:

... why is the prize a desert lyins. ARE THEY TRYING TO INDUCE MY RAGE?  (seriously. everytime I make an amazing path a stupid lyins breaks through like RRRRRRAAAARGGGHHHH I AM HERE and of course all my statues are all lined up so as soon as the lyins breaks the one freaking box separating it from my perfectly stacked statues it unhinges its jaw like an ugly deep sea monster and goes GOBBLE GOBBLE -100 POINTS. I hate this game. As soon as it hit 1500 I sent the score) |

ARGH I hate this game!! The closest I've gotten is 1162, and I've never gotten that again. Ugh... Edit: OMG I FINALLY BEAT IT!! *screams* Also, thank you, Zoey, for mentioning that you immediately sent the score once you hit 1500+. I'm not sure I would have realized to do that. -__- |

Update: There are actually 100 statues exactly. The level breakdowns are 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 20. The game ended after I beat the second 20 statue level. Good stuff, Ollie. |

meanwhile his people can't eat bread this game is about the decadence of the royal family. Jazan: *slumps on desk* My recovering-from-a-curse people have nothing to eat... my kingdom is a wreck... Qasalan advisor person: My liege, we have found no food, but we have just unearthed a large amount of gold that your father had stashed away! Jazan: *perks up* How much of it can be used to trade? Advisor: I'm afraid that none of it is in any shape that the rest of Neopia would accept. It's, erm, a hundred busts of Razul- Jazan: *unholy screeching* Advisor: - wearing shutter shades. Jazan: Melt it all.Advisor: Do you have a preference for the mould? Jazan: Shape it like something that anyone would want to look at all day long! Advisor: Our finest Qasalan monuments? Jazan: Nooo... *wipes makeup streaks* Nabile's face. Only that will work. Stamp her face on all of our currency, while you're at it! Advisor: I doubt this is the right time to mint new Qasalan currency. Jazan: *power stance* Then I won't rest until our economy is good enough to have my wife's face on all our coins.

now this is a story all about how the value of qasalan currency went down down down and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the king of a kingdom plagued with hyperinflation |

Today was a breath of fresh air for me. Itchy Invasion and Goparokko are two of my favorite games (got the scores on my first try) and it only took me a couple tries to get the Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers score.
Best of luck to everyone on Team Knights for today. I am sorry you have to deal with Rink Runner. (I don't know everyone's opinions on the game, but at least for me, it's tedious and boring and not fun.)

(I don't know everyone's opinions on the game, but at least for me, it's tedious and boring and not fun.) Yeah, I was relieved too when I saw that all the needed scores were lower than my high scores on the games.  Though I think Itchy Invasion will still give me problems. I seem to remember struggling to get my current high score for (probably) Daily Dare. And yeah, I'm glad I don't have to play Rink Runner - I'm not sure I've even gotten 30, lol. So yeah, best of luck to everyone on Knights! |

I hope JS is taking notes about everyone's grievances with these game choices. There are feasibly only four more gaming events (of this format type) before Flash is permanently put to pasture, and it would be nice if the last were somewhat fondly remembered as being fun instead of a chore.

A quick tip to anyone that played Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers for the first time and thought to themselves "omg this game is impossible rip best trophy" (Like I did at first), pay attention to the mini-map in the bottom left corner instead of the main screen. It's a LOT easier and less confusing to play it that way, and getting the required score is fairly easy once you do.

Itchy Invasion, huh? Why hello 8+ year old computer that still works... Pretty sure the last time I used you was.... to play Itchy Invasion during Daily Dare one year... I think that is this computer's sole mission in life now.
