Games Master Challenge - Pirates Vs Ninjas

[Daze]

3 games in the Qualifying Games list are currently not loading

Jumpin' Gem Heist
Ugga Drop
Wrath of Snowager

Of course TNT have to put in a game that does not work.

To also further add drama, Ninjas got a game that is no longer on the site, Switcheroo.

The event has been so glitched, that TNT should feel embarassed by it. They have 12 months between events to make sure they go out without problems. Also as it is Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, the team is out of the building until Monday. (by then the GMC is over).

EDIT: TNT have posted that they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

Shakes head of lack of preparation.

Thanks for the info, Daze. I finished day 4 and Ultimate Bullseye for day 5. Apparently Ugga Drop (which replaced Switcheroo -- this is a Ninja-only game, by the way) and Jumpin' Gem Heist both won't load, so I sent one Flycatcher score for now. Hope they fix it soon. Time to try my hand at Cootie Wars.

ETA: It's not just the post-third play score submissions that can glitch. A friend had her second one glitch, and I just looked at my progress and saw a green instead of a gold check mark for Sophie's Stew, even though I submitted a score for it Thursday. At the time, I didn't realize that things were glitching, or that day-of submissions were so important, otherwise I would have taken the extra few seconds on the holiday to check. *sigh*

Glad to know it isn't just me

The last day's a doozy. The prize for the "Send a score for 5 different qualifying top 10 puzzle games" is apparently glitched, according to JN -- someone on the boards said they had to send scores for all 10 games before completing, which will make going for all the bonuses on that one even more difficult (others have said it didn't complete for them, even after sending 10 scores). The mystery challenge is Snot Splatter, so that should be quick. The third challenge is alternating between 3 games, and one is Assignment 53, which I loathe. Top Chop isn't too bad, and I should get the "60 games" one automatically by finishing all the others (I played 1 each of all the pirate games and about a dozen other games yesterday). Still, this is going to take a while.

ETA: And I'm out of practice on Evil Fuzzles, too. Only 424 my first play, which is close, but still. *sigh* It's another one I loathe.

Edited again: The glitch has been fixed. Make sure you play the "most popular" puzzle games (the link from the GMC page sorts them alphabetically).

Ninja for myself, though I honestly don't think I have the time (especially given I'm not supposed to be playing) in order to make a large enough effort for Ninja to stay on top. Because Ninjas always win. Yes.

[Siniri]

I stayed up a bit late last night finishing all the bonuses, but not too surprisingly, TNT extended the deadline. Ninjas were up 52% to 48%, but that's dropped down to 51% in the last half hour, probably as people who want to be on the winning team without doing any work are joining it (and perhaps more pirates are taking the extra time to complete bonuses). Hopefully there aren't too many more of them!

[Daze]

With all the glitches, it is a wonder any of us have any sanity left!

I finished all game challenges on release day and finished all bonus games.

I made some personal best scores on at least 3 games and found one I hope to get a trophy in soon.

Not long before the event is officially over.

Trophy images have been found:

Ninja

Pirate

I'm so bummed I won't be getting the top trophy. I hope I at least get the second one. I just wish I'd taken the ten seconds to refresh the GMC page on Thanksgiving and see that my Sophie's Stew score hadn't taken. Ah, well, it was a holiday, and real life is more important than Neopets. I'm honestly not sure I could have stayed awake long enough to play another game of it well enough to count, anyway.

[Daze]

Oh, yay! I still got the top trophy, and all the same prizes as Daze except the stamp.

[Blue]

Yay, middle trophy. I got the top 3 prizes listed by Daze, plus the team win trophy/sign.

Once everything glitched on me on Day 5, I stopped playing until last day and ended up only finishing Day 5. I know I completed the first challenge for Day 7, but it didn't get counted, so I didn't bother with day 6 or 7. Meh.

...it was a holiday, and real life is more important than Neopets.

Yep. I actually took four days off of work, including not cleaning up spam here at PPT*. Never even turned on my laptop. It was awesome

*BIG thanks to Combusken BG for cleaning up all that spam!
