@Flybaby... Only the clothes appear on the mannequins,not hair or eyes.. etc. But when you transfer back to yourself then the whole costume will transfer. It's been that way for quite sometime. I had mentioned it before.

@WC ... I knew that mannequins don't have eyes, but the hair I referred to is from the store additions that were added last year. Burglary and the wandering merchant hair Stylist. The wrong hair colors show up on the mannequins, and I believe that Nik is aware of this glitch.

Hi Nick,

1) The description of the "Call A Friend" button says "Each of your friends can help you whack once every 5 days". However it seems that the counter is reset at midnight on Sunday (Canadian time). So shouldn't it state that they "can help you whack once every week"? Or are there plans to make the counter reset every 5 days?

2) It's not that I dislike the flower boxes, but I'd rather see the event rewards build up to something large (like it was in the past). Why not have a (Chinese?) zodiac tree (zodiac signs which can be hung in a special tree)? You could add some mini-events if there aren't enough large events to get the 12 (+1) parts...

1) Hrmmm. I checked the code just now, and each of your friends does get set a 5 day cooldown. Maybe try picking a friend and tracking their friend-whack cooldown specifically, and see if it matches up with the 5 days (120 hours, specifically).

2) A Zodiac Tree is a neat idea for a future event 100% collection! I'll note that down. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Nick,

Just wondering if you have any plans to bring back the Mother's Day mini event.

It came to my attention when someone asked about the Breakfast Tray reward from the 2015 event.

For some reason, I don't have that ranch item (although I was playing back then).

It's really cute, and I wonder if you could make it available again for BBs purchase like other event items.

Thanks

Oh neat! That limited time quest was before my time. It looks cool, so I can see about re-running it around this year's Mother's Day. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Nick,
Just noticed that there is a PASTEL SHEEP listed as available through the Counting Sheep mini event. Has this been there or is this new? Never noticed it before.

A few updates ago I renamed the "Rainbow Sheep" for that mini event to "Pastel Sheep". This was to differentiate it from the existing Rainbow Sheep from a past St. Patrick's event.

@Flybaby...I know you were talking about AI, I'm saying that if the drink changes hair or eyes on your avatar when drank that doesn't transfer to the mannequin, just clothes and sword,but then when you back to that mannequin and wear the clothes then the hair and eyes associated with that drink transfers back to you.

Hi Nick, about the dialog box to select friends to help out: there is a button that selects "random friends" automatically. The problem is that there are friends on that list that do not play often, so we always have to sort by "recently played" and select one by one, which is a hassle. Would it be too hard to reprogram that button to select "recently played" friends, so that we can actually use it? It would be of great help. Thanks!!

This suggestion has been made before, and is already on my list to consider for the next quality of life update! I appreciate the reminder all the same :)

Hi Nick,
How about adding an option to hide crops that we have raised to level 10 in the crop research list? Also a sort by level would be nice.
Thanks

We've had similar suggestions like this in the past. I'll consider it for a future quality of life update.

Seems I have eaten some alphabet soup this week and can't shut up... but I'd really wish there was a way to get rid of the infuriating sugarless drinks. Maybe a recycling bin in the commons... a recycling bin would be a good way to recycle all kinds of stuff we do not want anymore... it could spit something back... that would be fun.

Improving the sugarless drinks, and adding ways to deal with excess, are already on my list to consider for a future quality of life update. Including the recycling bin idea! It's a neat one.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your answer. However the practical side is different from the code:
If the "call a friend" timer is set to 120 hrs, then I should be able to use 20 friend calls every day during 5 consecutive days, and then 20 friend calls would become available again on the 6th day. Believe me if I say I've tried that many times, but the result never varies: only on the 7th day (a few minutes after) midnight 100 friend calls become available again.

So, about the Friend whacks... it seems like the words were not changed since fb. On fb we were actually able to use all 250 friend whacks every week. Now, each friend can still only whack every 5 days, but we are limited to 100 per week. It was always 100 per week on Kongregate. One would only notice the every 5 day thing if one had fewer than 100 buddies and if all whacks were used early in the week. By weekend, you would see repeats (up to a max of 100/week).

howdy fellow bushwhackians

1- let me start by talking about BarbZak and VikingHelga's idea, about the SUGARLESS drinks we get in gifts etc, i suggested a idea last year sometime, which involved us the PLAYERS, we could hand in the sugarless drinks to a npc, and in return we would get the CI'S that drink has associated with it like hat's, gloves,cape's etc, i still honestly think this is the way to go, because it is a win-win situation for both parties

2- this is in regards to SBA prizes.....some of the prizes for the last few SBA's seemed small in their value, i sort of thought the prizes would get better in value for the SBA/level we were at, i noticed for one SBA in the salt desert area or jungle one we get 3-4 red packs which is good and all, but something else could of been added like perhaps 2-3 Pristine feed vouchers perhaps, or even 4-5 pet treats for level 10 etc. It would really be good to see Pristine feed vouchers and pet treats added for prizes for SBA's

3- seeing how we have attracted a fair few butterfly pets etc, from eggs and the butterfly event, i was thinking, what if we had a fence that looked like glass walls, like a terrarium, of sorts.


happy to hear folks thoughts and revelations

1) I do like how your sugarless drink suggestion focuses on the costume items.

2) Fair point! I'll look at mixing up the standard energy pack sba reward in future updates.

3) Terrarium wall ranch items area neat idea! I'll note them down to consider. Might be a great item to make available with the Zoo.

Hey Nick.. my question is about the stream and the not knowing what to do to fill in while Georgia isn't there. Just a thought, since there won't be the coloring pages or sketching, maybe have a contest?

I agree with VikingHelga, Russell, Barb. There have been many great ideas for what to with all the of sugarless drinks that we have accrued over the years.

I would like to have a small cap placed on the amount of sugarless drinks we can accrue(no more than 5 like the consumables in the hub stores), or better yet, discontinue them altogether.

Adding an inventory cap would be a simple way to reduce how many are dropped. Something I'll consider.

Quick question: is it possible to add a "+5" button for the energy packs? I think this might lighten the (small) delay we experience when there are many players playing simultaneously.

Letting you pick how many you want to use might be the best option here. I agree, something between 1 and "use all" would be preferable!

I drink the drinks, with one I like (like DeathPuddle), then transfer to mannequin, then drink a drink I don't like, wait the 24hrs, and I get changed back to the one I liked, and as long as I don't change anything on my Avatar it will stay that way, but if I do happen to lose the one I like, then I go to the mannequin and transfer it to me. I do, however, don't think they should be in the hard earned Gift Baskets. I do, however, think the Gift Baskets need to quit being so stingy with what they give as gifts. Like have more VIP Vouchers more often or BB more often. I didn't get any BB until opening the 15th Gift Basket. VIP Vouchers are worse. I might get 1 every 30 Gift Baskets, the same with satchels. I quit turning in event tokens for satchels because it is a waste of tokens. I just stick to getting the achievement and to buy gift baskets to trade or as prizes for my contests. Anyways, I like the above suggestions.

Thanks for your feedback on this, WhackedCrafter.
