Wow after over 8 years of playing your platform games and throughly enjoying it. I finally decided to quit. Its no longer fun. Far more challenging than i expected. After spending 2 hrs trying to find a flower or avoid the boulder and only getting frustrated. I decided its time to quit. Thanks for the 8 year run. Good luck all

you can use BUSH BUCKS to get past the boulder - geez
This game is not difficult at all. It's just a time waster for me every day - a place to chill out and just play for 20-30 min a day

I've been avoiding this because there is no way to be polite. I've tried and tried to think of a way of phrasing it politely, but I can't.

You can ask people. You have always been able to ask people.

The BB option was implemented because I, and a few others, asked. I can't stand doing mini games. My co-ordination SUCKS. If you're that hard up for BBs, I'd be happy to see if my budget extends to buying you some as a once off.

If I'm stuck, I ask for help. I'm still amazed that I only found 4 or 5 flowers and got the SBA open, despite there being 7 flowers.

Communication is a thing. Even if you have to wait. 'Cheating' by paying BBs is still a thing.

And if you're against buying money for games... We help pay their bills and keep games like this running. Coders are still people, it's still employment. Out of all the games, CNE is one company I'm happy to drop money on. They're polite, they care, they interact. Even when I send the stupidest questions via support ticket, they don't judge (to my face anyway. We all have our moments in private lol)

Help is out there.

Use it.

Mary-Anne,

I really understand the need to take a break from a game that I've been with for years. In my personal life I am, once again, moving away from certain groups I've been with for years. Interestingly I am reconnecting with people I haven't seen in years because of a similar shift I did years ago. I hope that after a break you come back.

Most importantly I want you, and others that might read this, how much I value the CodeName crew.

Because of their generosity in the way they structure the game I've been playing for many years. I started with them back in Bushwacker (the original one) My life is difficult and for reasons we don't need to go into. I aspire to be lower middle class (which means I'm currently living near the poverty line). The cheerfulness of their games have been a tremendous boon in my life. I am approaching an age others would consider retirement years and I plan to work for another 10 years. During the time I've played the game I've established a career. I hope to be a dedicated player until there is enough wiggle room in my budget to spend money on the game. I am close to that level now. I plan to do that at the same time that I add certain other "extras", like a movie or 2, to my budget.

My gratitude continues to the players that have paid CodeName. The CodeName owners and workers deserve a good life and all the benefits that come with working on an excellent product.

Mary-Anne, I hope you come back, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, maybe for CodeName's next game.

@Deborah Bivens - I find it amazing that you are able to keep up with all the daily quests and new content by playing only 20-30 min a day. Wowza!!!

thanks for adding the newest sba's. and especially thanks for not changing all the prior 'sequence' numbers as someone once did that took days to roll back.

but you did goof a bit on the sequence numbers in the spine and high jungle a little, should be 72-76 & 77-81 for sba#71-sba#75 & sba#76-sba#80 and somehow indicate that wild descent sba might not be available till after cera altepeti boundary sba is reached or just that square being nearly 100% done.

You're welcome, Raymond. Thanks for letting me know about the numbered SBA's. But does that mean that the numbers are wrong for the SBAs in the Infected Plains and maybe other areas? The Infected Plains are numbered 67-70 and The Spine picked up the numbers from there, starting at 71. I just checked the spoiler for the wild descent (it's been a while since the update), and there is an explanation. Here is an excerpt from the spoiler, "Next you need a code, to get that you have to go to the The Cera Altepetl Boundary, talk to the person with the laurel wreath near the middle of the lower area. They will tell you the code for the area, but they only know the traditional name of the areas, the wild descent being know as Huetzi in the traditional language." Hoping that explains it, but if not, any ideas are welcome.

Oh, I was a little confused by the 2 numbers, but I get it now. I'll go and fix it. As for the wiki, if you are interested in doing any contributions, maybe you could create a new username and password. I don't think you need any special plugins.
