The name rings a bell somehow... oh yeah, I remember. This user has very informative petpages, regarding lots of things. I often use the battledome one (garmfry)

To get those game trophies, the best chance is to play those games the moment they came out. For example, my high score for Ultimate Bullseye is only 145, but I got second place trophy since the standard was low when it came out

I only got 2 flash game trophies, one bronze and one silver. I suck at games :oops:

EDIT: I just counted. He has 99 trophies

I only have 22

I've seen better, seems to take forever to reach the bottom of the page. I think you have to concentrate on one game at a time. Then during the first day of the month, do your best, concentrate and you should be able to get the trophy. And like what 843 said, attack the game when it first come out, although I'm not able to do that as I need to get use to the controls, and I'm not bothered to play that game over and over again until I get the high score.

So, the best bet is to practice for a month or two, then attack that game on the first day of the month.

I have third at Neverending Boss Battle, third at Hungry Skieth and first at Tyrannian Mini Golf, before they change the rules. And various other non-flash game trophies. Such as Shapeshifter and Kiss the Mortog.

I don't play games much just because I'm no bad at them!

If it's any consolation, it's still sixteen more trophies than I have.

I agree with others - practise at the games you're good at, then attack them once the high-score tables clear. Then again, my trophies are all pretty basic. :roll:

The first of the month, like today, is an excellent time for getting trophies.

All the flash game trophies that I own have been obtained this way.

Out of interest, why is that a good time to get them? o_O

They clear the high score tables at the beginning of the month, so you've more chance of getting a trophy with a lower score.

While nervously hoping I won't be bumped out of the high scre table in The Castle of Eliv Thade (currently no. 14), can I know what time they give out the trophy for the first day of the month. Previously was around 7pm NST, has it changed?

EDIT: Yay! I got it. Third place, but who cares!

Yay! Third place at Shapeshifter

Dear gods! He's been around forever, too. It's lookups like this that gives a person an inferiority complex. I have 14 game trophies and 7 battle and/or plot trophies. He has 89 game trophies and 10 battle/plot trophies! And since some of those games are retired, there's absolutely no way to catch up. It's just... guh!
