Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)!

[Daze]

Aww, that sucks Pickles. I have read a few boards that it was happening to other people, and unfortunately it does look like the reset time has messed up.

Yesterday: 2 matches, 19k, gift box.
Today: 2 matches 19k.

Day 25: 2 matches

You've Won!!

Come back tomorrow and win more prizes!
100000 Neopoints

100k? WOW! That is sweet, Daze! Something to look forward to tomorrow!

today (day 24 for me since I somehow got day 0, but missed day 1...): 18.5k

[Siniri]

Is today the last day? I also got 100k. Over the last few days, I mostly got no matches, though I got 2 once, and rotten luck once. I've gotten 3 gift boxes total so far, I think (or maybe just 2).

Pickles, I just read about your reset issues. That's awful! Food Club's gates close at the normal times, but the round doesn't actually change until ~2:39pm NST (that time got nudged slightly farther back after the latest downtime). We're about a year from the big transition now, right? I know it was a big job, but so much of the site is still so, so broken. It's frustrating.

[Daze]

I ended Round 1 with 3 gift boxes. Doubt I will use them, as I am not buying NC.

2nd Round - Day 1: 2,000 nps.

[Blue]

Not last day. I received 100k today (with 2 matches). Based on Daze's results, it starts over every 25 days.

[Siniri]

Yep. I got 1.5k today. That really stinks about the reset so close to the end of the cycle... But thanks for letting us know, Pickles, so we can all try to avoid it somehow.

[Pickles]

Frustrating, yes. Hopefully they'll get things fixed so it's back to resetting at midnight like the FAQ says it should be. For now, I'm trying to make sure to check in the morning and the evening, in case I forget to go one evening. I figure that'll take case of running into the issue again.

I'm on day 6. I did get another gift box today, so that was kinda nice. I'll be back up to the 19kish a day thing in just a few more days.

[Blue]

Matched two. 2k NP. Sort of disappointing after a 100k day

[Siniri]

Matched 2. 3k.

I just noticed that I checked Neopets fairly late (for me) last night (after 7pm NST, probably closer to 8pm), and I didn't get a second chance to spin Trudy's Surprise. When does the reset happen? Do you actually get two chances in one day, or is it a more horrible "this is when the prize time resets, but the opportunity to spin is still linked to the 24-hour clock?"

[Pickles]

I'm not sure, Siniri. I think I might've spun yesterday morning, which doesn't make sense, because I know I spun the previous night. It definitely didn't let me spin again after 5pm NST last night, but did already this morning. I'll try to see tomorrow if I can spin earlier than 5:37am NST, as that's when I spun this morning. Maybe they fixed the clock?

12k today.

[Daze]

Yep, that is right Blue. It is a 25 day cycle.

Neopoints won daily rise until day 10, where it stays at the same rate until day 25, when you get the 100k payout.

~~~
Today - 2 matches. 3K.

The normal reset for Trudy is suppose to be midnight NST and going by the FAQs, she should always be there until you spin.

But when the battledome went haywire, so did Trudy and the reset seemed to be pushed forward to the games reset time of between 4-5 pm nst.

Then something went a bit weird today, when Trudy wasn't seen straight away at midnight, but about 30 minutes or more later.

So something that wasn't quite right to start with, is now getting worse. Soon it will be down to good luck and chance if we get to see her.

EDIT:

Day 3: 2 matches, 5K

It does seem that Trudy has gone to 24hrs from when you play. This will make it very hard for most people to get a full run of 25 days.

Time check for me 12.41 am NST.

I am very lucky to be in a very good time zone for this timing. I hope the Bandwagon doesn't have any problems with this new (stupid) timing.

[Blue]

1:12am NST - working fine. 3k today

[Siniri]

Ugh. I might be in trouble today; hopefully she'll show up before I leave for work, or I might be stuck until I get home this evening...
