  • @burpie, You said Pig Bang 1-30. I don't know why my mind went to Danger Zone 30. Still a multiple birder though. Same question.
  • @Rat9, with 1-30 it didn't help... but by playing that level on my phone + PC simultaneously, it cut the time to get an outrageous score by sheer luck in half.
  • @e-star no worries on the happy, it is normally what one would say but yeah it just sounded wrong in my head when I started to say it. Sorry I missed your quick pop in but I'm just now sitting down to catch up on all things BP!! Hope your workday flys by as I know your a busy bee at work ATM! :)

    @rat9 I'm not offended, still not sure which rank is my abso fav although I am partial to the skivvys, they just strike me as super comfy! Master slinger is indeed a wicked looking rank and it seemed to go by faster than I thought it would! I'm quite sure BL would down grade you once you hit the sling rank like he did e-star if you asked him too! :) Teehee our resident "pet" doesn't like being a pet! Awww but your so cute!! ;D Glad to see you back here and hope now that you know you don't get posting points you'll be back to normal in BP! Heck if you Did get points e-star, Kathy and I would have surpassed the highest rank by now!! ROFLMAO

    @mumsie42 that was a really touching poem, thank you for posting it!! :)

    @mvnla2 sorry for your melt down, I can tell you that if you fight to get to the top 50 ranks it'll be a super long time before you get knocked waaaay down And you'll likely be an ever super duper longer time if forever in the avg category!! See that's good news right?!!! :)

    @burpie I don't play chess, never really understood it but it's nice to see you in here again!! :)

    Hello @tas, hope your enjoying your new book!!

    @Kathy I'm more than happy to undent your flashlight especially as you put it to such good use!!! ;D
    *undents Kathys flashlight and super shines it, sets out candles to see her safely to dreamland* see ya later alligator!! LOL
  • @burpie, I have this funny vision of you...phone and mouse in dueling hands. I've seen people in the casinos playing multiple games as if they were bingo cards. Hands and eyes frantically going in all directions. I've also seen those same people make mistakes on the games such as video poker. i.e. Throw away a winning hand. They would be better off increasing their bet and playing one machine well, instead of two or three poorly. Their money!
  • *Snicker* like the vision @rat!! :D
    Hi @rat bye @rat9!! :)
  • *rushes in. Im late im late.. places baskets of earplugs on the bar*
    OB could you be so kind to place some on the booths?
    Good morning everyone
    Welcome to WWWwwwHHhhhhhiiiiinnnnneeeee Tuesday! !!
    *poof*
  • Hi @Kimmiecv, @Kathy

    @Rat9, Your vision of me with phone and mouse in dueling hands should include me banging my head on the desk to punctuate the tedium. ABSp 1-30 is a slooooow level. By the way, a lot of online poker pros play 6+ tables at a time.

    Argh, game three of the chess championship ended in a draw. Just like the first two.
  • Hi @Burbie --Haven't caught up yet, but curious about how you keep all your scores in the same lua file? I somehow lost some scores in ABO RMF, and haven't been able to match one.
  • Hi @mvnla2, You can't update scores to a lua file except by playing a level. If you want to merge existing scores from 2 files into 1, you're out of luck.

    So from the start I've always taken the highscore.lua file with me when I switched devices. And I've switched from new ABSp to old ABSp versions and back, and from Android to PC and back without a problem.
  • @sal9 Have a fantastic birdday! And a big thank you for all you do for us.

    @Estar: lovely banner! And nice to see you

    Have great party, @all!
  • Hey @TomPuss great to see you as well! Been trying to catch up on my email this evening. How are you doing?
  • I am off to watch a movie, all enjoy the afternoon and evening!
  • Happy Birthday @sal9 :) hope you have a wonderful day:)
    May all your wishes come true;
    Great Banner @E* enjoy your movie night:)
  • Happy Birthday @sal9 :) hope you have a wonderful day:)
    May all your wishes come true; )
  • Happy BirdDay @sal9! Hope you get to spend the day doing something special for yourself.
  • Many Happy returns of the day @Sal9 ! You deserve to have a great day!
  • WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIINNNNEEEEEEE.....HoW 2-10 I got 125k dnt know how..but now can't get it again:(:(
    OB I'll have a Pigkiller please:)
  • @karen68 - great score on today's Challenge!
    OB - Keep @Kathy supplied with Pigkillers on my tab - looks like she's going to need them!
  • Mumsie comes back into BP checks for supply of wool, settles herself in her rocking chair and starts to knit - the needles are going so fast OB sets the fire extinguisher next to her chair as he's sure he can see smoke coming from them!
    Have been really busy with my very own heyyous - so will sit here and catch up on all the news. Oh OB, how kind, yes I'd love a cup of tea.
  • Happy BirdDay! @sal9 May your flinging be particularly high scoring today!
  • Funny @rat I was watching the weatherman last night with his mega touch screen smart board. Just imagine AB on a monster screen like that! I just might have to see what it's like on my son's ps3 and our big screen tv......
  • Happy Birthday @sal9, hope it's been a great day. Thank you for all your hard work in the Nest.
    @mumsie42 I know you're probably asleep by now but thank you :) Happy knitting!
    @kathy I hear your whine. I found the shot to the far right worked better than going through the glass in front. Then you need Terence to do his bowling ball routine. You know, like @Estar's vid!! Took me a whole lotta flings (surprise surprise). Good luck, have a Pigkiller on me :)
  • @ABCrazy -- I think there may be more than one kind of smart board. The one used on TV seems to be a plasma TV with touch capability. The one I saw on a webpage showing someone playing AB on it, was a projection screen, so would show shadows.
    If you find more info on the one on the TV news, please post. I want to put it on my Christmas list. Fat chance I'd get it though.
    What is the PS3? I suppose you mean a PlayStation 3, but does it have a large touch screen?
    I think about once, maybe twice, I tried playing while looking at a fairly large (but not gigantic) HD TV and using my iPad as the touch screen. I think it could provide an advantage to accuracy, but you are still limited by your ability to position your finger or stylus on exactly the pixel you want on your iPad. It is also a little difficult to get used to the separate touchscreen and viewing screen, not to mention somewhat of a pain to set up. Oh, yeah, and hubby would have a major fit if he found magic marker dots on "his" TV!
  • Thanks @Karen that's the shot I'm trying now lol..I got 125 k through the glass but can't get it anymore so I switched it up to E* video way :-) thanks for the PigKiller :-)
  • @mvnla2 Ahhhh.... The holidays and the fantasyland of the wish list. :-D A super large high def touchscreen screen for me please! Ummm... With the highest scoring version of any AB game preloaded. Luv ya Santa!
    Yes the PS3 is play station with no touchscreen. Only those... Controller thingies. Connected to our somewhat largish LED flat screen. My son pointed out to me several months back that AB is now available on that system. I declined to bite as I was already spending too much time trying to establish a strong lead in Tatooine. Still, a really big screen could be fun....
  • @mvnla2 Heee Heee... I see you must've taken up @rat magic marker trick. :-) I'm still using sticky flags. Dunno, why the magic marker scares me.
  • @ABCrazy -- I'm not actually using magic marker on my iPad, because I think the dots are too big. I don't even usually use stickies, although maybe I should?
    But I think magic marker dots on a large screen might just really be the ticket?
  • @mvnla2 I think that may depend on your technique and what works for you. I think my stickies and can only guess @rat marker dots are really useful for those ABS &ABSW levels with aiming dots that require very specific aiming points that don't have a convenient star or other target in the background. The trick is honing in on exactly the pixel you want to hit. Whatever works to get you there.
    The biggest screen I've played on so far is my iPad. I don't really know if going really big helps, but it is an alluring thought. ;-)
  • Sorry all I've been reading..
    Nighty night..*`places flashlight on @KimmeCV favorite booth *
    Rough night..sad day tomorrow :( sleepy...

  • WAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAA OMG baaaaad Kimmie Baaaaad!!! Didn't even look that way!! Thought I heard snoring @JLZ-666 but then with all the heyyous I'm used to hearing odd sounds!! Thank goodness you looked her way!! Poooor @mumsie42!!! Hey bald is the in look here @mumsie42 dontcha worry!! My Moms been wearing hers buzzzzzed for over 20 years and peeps Love it!! Not to worry!! Until it grows back maybe wear a lot of black? Just say your going through a transition!! Yeahhh yeahhhh that's the ticket!!! ;D
  • Watch the hey Hos Immie @JLZ-666!!! BwahahahahaaMwaaaahaaahaa ;D
  • Immie ho! hey sweet @kimmiecv! Haahaaaa!! Sorry my mind wasn't even going there! Poor poor @mumsie! Do you think she'll scare the bejeez out of the grand kids when she arrives? Aw heck I've now got an image of a charred,bald woman rocking away in the corner.....Eeeeew :( Can anyone else knit? Think we need a new shawl and hat for @mumsie ;)
  • *Snicker* Awww and Halloween has passed too so can't even use that!! :/ hmmmmm nope not me @JLZ-666 I'd end up making her look worse with strings hanging in strange places!! Eeewwww now you've got me picturing something not so nice too!!! :O Poooor Mumsie!!! ;(
  • Stupid error box.
  • Mumsie pops back in - OB sheepishly comes over to apologise - Mumsie tries to look haughty but with one side of hair all frizzy can't quite carry off the haughtiness campaign so gives him a hug instead! OB blushes and takes Mumsie over to show her that he has dried and polished her rocking chair, dried off all the dusters that @JLZ666 soaked in her 'rescue' efforts and he has bought her some lovely new knitting needles to replace the melted ones and they're bamboo ones!!! Mumsie is so pleased she gives him another hug. She sits on her rocker and promises to knit at a more sedate speed now.
    Looks over all the chat and asks OB has he got any further with the planning for a large touchscreen for the BP - he says that all he has done is look at the wiring plan (but the admins would have to approve that) and written a letter to Santa!
  • Jeeeeez.....that's the thanks I get for saving a burning woman @mumsie42? OB gets a hug??? Hmmmph......remember,I can easily take care of that frizz of hair on the side of your head.....;)
  • OMG HAHAAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAAA @JLZ-666 that's toooo funny!!! Hey there ya go @mumsie42 jlz will take care of it for you!!! Yikers but it'll be an interesting look!!! :D
  • Yep @kimmiecv I can do some interesting things to our @mumsie ;))))) Now lemme think....
  • Uh oh here we go!!!!
