Well, I didn't see a "log your even progress" thread and I wanted to try logging for this one so I'm making this. Sorry if someone else already made one, I don't see any.

lmbo you know how it works:cool:
my first 4 opens have been pearls i am very suprised

Trimutius

11-23-2012, 06:55 PM

first 4 cash opens were all fails =(
Unlucky this time... But i will get 10 pearls even if I need to download 1 Gold offers from Tapjoy... Missing out on explosive thingy will be to much of a disappointment...

Btw... did anyone notice how most of the items (except for the one that will be given to the first placed guy) are using old graphics... Like that didn't change even color of those...

Dudebot121256

11-24-2012, 11:17 AM

4 fails in a row D:

Edit: Strangely, after I posted this, my next open was successful.

Just over half way to 10.

Same here most of easy open with 2 fail but currently on 6 was aiming for 10 but at this rate i might as well try to get 15. :)

wupuck

11-24-2012, 05:47 PM

Seriously, these events are getting frustrating for me, getting very few opens and when I do, i'll get $10,000 or another player... I'm already over the 500 player mark. Seriously???

TZora

11-24-2012, 10:04 PM

Just going for the explosive. I would be happy
ditto. and then i will be done with the event too :)

6 Pearls, a Car, some Respect, and one Happy Camper who's glad to be back! And I can only smile when I say they were ALL cash openings....

NTM

11-25-2012, 01:20 AM

i have stop this event, make when i can... or i look ! i prefer other event but they have stop...

the even who u need only 10 proof and 4 items are more fun and more easy...... and don't cost so much Gold.. (maybe why they stop ?)

wupuck

11-25-2012, 03:34 PM

I've been stuck on 3 for the last 12 hours :/

I've been stuck @ 3 for the past 36 hours. ~18 attempts in that time. I've gotten 4 opens - 3 were $10k, 1 was an extra player.

For a free game, I shouldn't be to upset, but this is ridiculous.

bobsmith

11-25-2012, 03:37 PM

I am using Android I am lucky if I get 1 necklace per day. I don't get it, I would have thought a fair chance of opening would allow me to open more than 2 boxes per day. so far its been cash/respect/necklace in some cominbation since day one.

Trimutius

11-25-2012, 04:41 PM

Fair chance gives me 2... or 3 items when I'm lucky per day... But i try to open every hour when i don't sleep (this means during work too)
Though I often get stuck at 9 during the last day =(
So i spend tapjoy gold to get an item...

2 times when i was lucky i got stuck at 14... and spent some tapjoy gold to get 15 item thingies...

Pretty high participation rate this time around after gold sale :) top 250 is at 18 now with 2 days left.
Gonna cost me.

Trimutius

11-26-2012, 04:41 PM

8 pearls... well I have a fair chance of getting explosive thingy without investing gold (tapjoy gold isn't that easy to get) Hope will be lucky enough this time... (during Halloween i had to make one gold open during 2 hours before the end , i don't get this probabilities)

Lonestoner

11-26-2012, 05:55 PM

I've had slightly better luck this time than most of the previous ones.. I'm sitting at 11 with slightly less than two days left. Normally I'd have ~8 right now, thinking I won't make 10 by the end of the event.. Now I'll have the same thing going on, except with the 15 item prize :p

I left a progress log on the first page.. I've been generally satisfied with the results of this one; very few 10k opens and decent event items.

kykboxr

11-26-2012, 08:31 PM

Another crappy even yielding crassly results. Fair chance my a$$!

Pretty diligent, probably averaging about 10 tries a day. Sitting at four with 112 boxes and my last 21 tries have been better luck next time.

Last event was the same. Ended with six and 100+ boxes

PawnXIIX

11-26-2012, 08:56 PM

I'm hoping to just get to 10 this event, been sitting around sick so I've been able to open about 12 or 15 a day :/

Lonestoner

11-26-2012, 09:54 PM

Man, you are 6 kills ahead of me! Though I have 300 more losses. :p

stuck on 7 pearls for past 2 days, and the top 250 count keeps rising :(

Kissnight

11-27-2012, 05:55 AM

I just got 10.
Consider the open rate...
I will Probably using OT to get 20 after the event ends.

Guess that is why gree has change 10 box event to 20 auction.

I think you overspent by a bunch :) 31 should do it 32 just to be safe...
How muchdid it cost ya? I've spent closer to 1300.. easy over my "budget" :)

Honestly bro, around 800-900g maybe less. I had amazing luck, around 45-50% of my gold openings were pearls... I stopped gold openings when I hit 31, and got 6 yesterday from cash openings! :cool:

DenZ1

Finished #153. I guess then I did overspend. Screw that... I won't participate in them.... Maybe if prize is good, otherwise ill spent it elsewhere

i assume you got 32 as your "safe place"
so... what if... 100 players end up with the same numbers ...say 31, are they gona be #154 or #253 ???

BOS

11-28-2012, 12:20 PM

#63 here. This was my first top 250, I've never participated before, just dumped gold into crates. Crates still provide a better return for me, so back to those I go.

Finished with 17 PNs, and ended the event with 34 consecutive fails and an OT crash.

In the past three days I have counted four-hundred crashes. Seriously. I wish I was exaggerating.

The prize goes to the players who got to 31 first. That's why they freeze the leader board. I'm talking from expirence as I finished an event with the same total as players who one. But, I never got the prize. I had emails back and fourth for weeks befor they admitted this. If it was written in the information I would have either accepted it as "oh we'll bad luck" or carried on opening boxes. For some reason GREE won't add this in the written rules.

Sounds like you bought their bs. It only took weeks of emails because that's how long it takes them to think up their bs.

If you had the same total as players who won and did not receive a prize, it means the players who did were higher level than you at the time. Ties are determined by level, and if it happens that there is a tie right around the 250 cutoff, everyone who qualifies receives the prize. Yes, that means that sometimes there are more than 250 prizes awarded.

Here's a pic to prove it's happened!

My iPad HD used to crash after an hour of OT but I could keep it going on the iPad no HD with out crashing at all. I went into 24hours of OT on the turf war. Since I got gold from the Indian spy event I haven't been visiting tap-joy, and the HD version has been stable for a week.
As for this event I didn't bother with OT as I finished on 16 which was a bonus as I was on 9 for 24 hours and once I got the tenth I got six in 9 attempts.
@ dudeman can you add me please, I would love to see your hood.

if that is the way how it works...
indians can work as a "family", all their family members will end up with a pre-agreed number.
let's say 9 of them(ture big spenders) all end up #9... that would be funny.

Trimutius

11-28-2012, 05:30 PM

I ended with exactly 10 Pearls... Good thing that it was cash opens only... yesterday before going to sleep i did my last open and got my 10th... lucky this time I suppose... (as I said on Halloween I needed 1 gold open to get 10th...)
