Punchbag Sid, Where art thou?

Wed Aug 16, 2006 12:18 am

I have seriously wanted the Punchbag Avie for a really long time, but I can never get the switcharoo to happen. What am I doing wrong?

from what i've heard, it's a random thing when he appears

So you just have to keep beating Bob to get Sid?

No sid randomly replaces bob. But TNT has to activate it and they do that at a random time.

What do you mean by TNT "activating" it?

He appears in the BD for 10 minutes at a time, every third day, maybe twice during that day (we think). We used to have a tracking thread, but we stopped tracking him after most of us got the avatar, heh. If it does indeed follow the three-day rule, you should be able to get out a calendar and count every three days from that last sighting. But that only gives you the date, not the time; time seems to be random.

*whimper*

Now I'll never get it... :cry: :cry:

just keep trying. don't give up

So, any advice for those of us who weren't into avatars back then? Where can I find out when he was last seen? Does anyone still track him?

I'd like to start tracking him, if anyone else is interested.

I am interested, but I doubt I could help track him if I've never seen him...

Well, if he still does appear every 3 days, he should show up sometime today (if he hasn't already) based on the last dates in the old tracking thread. I'll check back a few times today.

Wed Sep 13, 2006 10:04 pm

So wait. He appears for one person every three days?

Thu Sep 14, 2006 12:43 am

From what I understand, he appears for everyone every three days at randomly (meaning TNT chooses) times.

Ok. That makes much more sense. :)
