It looks like all the glitches are fixed, as my daughter can now access the game. Yay! Now the only problem is that she's so out of practice playing UB1 and is having a hard time beating the score!! :lol:

UB1 is easier if you use the largest size available.

35/35 phew, glad that's done. The thing with these Games Master Challenges is they make you play games you don't usually play- and remind you exactly why you don't :lol:

Addendum: must the trophy have that unnecessary green background? it's throwing the userpage off. png supports transparency!

35/35. :3 I am pleased with myself! It was kinda fun getting to play some of these games again-I'd forgotten how much I liked nimmo's pond! (And with any luck, if TNT accepts my score, I /might/ have made it onto the high score table!)

Thanks.

From the rules page (and on the 1st post):

The Games Master Challenge will end a week from now on the 1st of the Month of Celebrating! You've got a week to complete all of my challenges. Good luck. You'll need it


EWWW, for the new trophy! I hope TNT removes the green background.

I'm such a whiner... but the trophy on my lookup is kinda ugly. I got level 8... but it is surrounded by a boxy teal background. Couldn't they *try* to make it fit in with the other trophies? :D

35/35! And I just spent a ton of NPs go finish getting my total book count to 10 of each book. The two for today are EXPENSIVE.

Yeah, the green background DOES stand out quite a bit, but I like the fact that the trophy is a Wii Mote :)

I feel so free now that I'm done with all that. While this is my first time to do the GMC, I have a lot of sympathy for those of you with very similar trophies from the year before. You'd think they'd be able to engrave the year on it or at least put the year as the caption like they did with Daily Dare.

If I were you guys, I would be buying up the Mounted Certificates of Grand Mastery. There aren't many, so ultra-rich players like Munsterpoo are going to be hoarding them. I've already bought 30 :)

EDIT: In the last not-even-an-hour, the price of Mounted Certificates has increased to 50K on the Shop Wizard. If I sell them now, it'll be the easiest 900K I'll ever make, but I'll hold on to them a little while longer.

EDIT2: Now it's over 80K. Needless to say, I'm absolutely ecstatic right now. I didn't even know it was a readable book until Pickles posted, so thanks :) Hopefully you're making a killing too.

Well, that's what I get for doing my homework instead of checking PPT. I guess I'll sit out on this one; when I tried to catch the tail end of one of these prospector digs (after CG plot, IIRC), I just found pyrite. Not worth the risk when the price is already so high.

Well, I finished 32/35 challenges. I'm on dial-up and wasn't about to play 5 billion games, so I missed the last 3 send scores challenges.

I soooo prefer Daily Dare. At least it's easy enough to do 1 game every day.

You have dial up. I would do anything to have dial up when playing neopets. It makes the games like zurroball easier to play. Broadband goes too fast.

They're back down to roughly 60K, but since no more are being released, the price can go nowhere but up. Holding on to them was the right decision, but I've lost out temporarily :(

Still, 1.2 million in profit is not bad for about 10 minutes of work :)

EDIT: Is it still possible to complete challenges? If it is, prices might go back down after all.

EDIT2: It is, and they did. Now is another opportunity to get in on this if you feel confident.
