Haunted Woods Plot Discussion (Split #22)

[weirdguy]

There's a pea Chia in my dig group. I hope he can reach far enough.

If testing is a different job than digging, why isn't there a slot for a tester?

hear, hear! That would be AWESOME. There's nothing more frustrating than refreshingrefreshingrefreshingrefreshingARG somebody's already there!

[Meech]

Whew, ok, I managed to dig up 2 piles of dirt before I got kicked off this time! That's a first

Here's a tip for diggers on dialup: If you're in Firefox (other browsers I'm not sure of), go to TOOLS > OPTIONS > WEB FEATURES and un-check the LOAD IMAGES box. This adds a valuable second or 2 onto your digging time.

I'm going to keep trying... AIM is Meechity if anyone wants to dig with me and my poor slow Ruki. (heh)

[psyco_chick32]

Just one question: How are all those graves going to be filled in when the testing's done?

Hopefully with some uber-awesome war!

Not sure if this has been said yet, but I'm pretty sure that if you get to the continue screen when trying to test bones it's yours. I got to the continue screen then waited more than long enough for someone else to slip in(10 seconds-ish, and people can slip in in refreshing time) before hitting continue, and it was still mine.

thanks for confirming my suspecion that I posted half a split ago

I'm hoping the bone test problem is due simply to the sheer volume of people. I'm going to try it again very early tomorrow or very late tomorrow night and hope that the slower traffic will make a difference.

Thing is, I managed to get 3 tests done earlier today when I was playing. I wasn't doing anything different then.

[timlucier]

YES! I tested my first bone:) and now --- back to digging.

I got a continue screen, and when I pressed it, it said someone was already testing there (a Coconut Jubjub).

Oh, and by the way: kaloo, kalay! Finally got another Plushie! Halloween Kau!

you managed to get one? at this hour? any tips?

[gemma58]

YAY! I got to bone test!

What I did was:

1. click on the dirt mound (waiting for digging to finish)
2. Instead of hitting F5 or Back on browser I used BACKSPACE button on keyboard (basically same as back button on browser) and it reduced refresh time by approx 3 secs
3. Got the continue button

I hope this helps someone else

[urumii]

does anyone know if we have to do all three things to advance on to the next round? i'm just wondering if i should just keep to digging because that seems to be the best thing to do.

[bflammang]

Two questions:
1. If it says I can't dig because I already have another job, how do I find out what job it is I am supposed to be doing?
2. What is the trick to figure out the coordinates of each grave?

Thanks!

[Viv]

Need 3 ppl at ET486O2K. 17,20.

Ty =]

2. What is the trick to figure out the coordinates of each grave?

Oh.. depends od what do you use to browse your internet, I think...
I use firefox, and theres a bar on the bottom thats says my coordinates.

I just kept clicking wait when people were digging. Mind you it was my 5th try.

[Navar57]

I have given up on testing bones.

I just seem to get beaten to the punch every time. And I'm on a cable connection.

The only thing that worked for me this morning is when I joined a group of diggers from the very beginning, before the 4th person had joined and started digging. This doesn't have to be the case with everyone, it could be the first 5th person to join is the first to test the bones. I don't know. but, I'm on cable as well and it seemed to take me forever!! I just kept checking ppt boards for where there were new gravesites and lurked around...mwhahaha. Also, I only clicked wait with the rest of them, I didn't refresh.

BTW we are at 65JV-852 (19,20) down at the bottom of the yard EDIT:nevermind all full
