    @all -- Given up on the new AB Go update -- a facebook friends bug, and fewer coins make it next to impossible to advance without spending real money.
    Been playing the new IceBreaker update, but pretty difficult.
  • KathyKathy
    Which level was danno allowed to keep his double counted birds?
    cuz @Amslimfordy clearly says in level #19 that its NOT allowed and @xanthippe19 was asked to remove 10k from his Score.. but danno clearly ADMITs it may have been a double count and yet his score stands even after questioning?
    can we get aninvestigation on What Was Allowed or bypassed and what was removed?
  • fenikusfenikus
    @mvnla2 -- I don't play AB Go. Is it a fun game? It looks a lot like AB version of Mario Cart from the ads.

    @Kathy -- Danno's score was allowed on level 3.
  • SweetPSweetP
  • KathyKathy
    Just seems unfair @fenikus the rules should to all. .
    @Sweetp maybe you could mention these discrepancies to BL?
    @mvnla2 hmm idk I haven't encountered any 0 birders and i dont see it ppossible on that level. yes the 2 jumping marmoset sometimes bounce themselves out but i can't see Nigel dying by himself in the cubbyhole? idk?
  • fenikusfenikus
    @Kathy -- it was actually a 1-birder. Two big marmosets committed suicide and then gramlord sent a YB to finish off Nigel.

    @SweetP -- glad you could stop by and sorry about losing your scores, that would make me little more than just *peeved*! I might give GO a try, I loved Mario Kart as well!

  • fenikusfenikus
    Ok, I'm off to bed -- night @all.
  • KelaniKelani
    I agree. I like the idea of setting the score to a high but plausible one, sorta like what happened with Xanthippe's. That way nobody's penalized, so to speak.
  • KathyKathy
    oohhh @Fenikus I misunderstood thought she said it was zero birder.
  • mvnla2mvnla2
    @fenikus -- AB Go was a pretty fun game until the most recent update. There is the facebook bug, which means you can't complete any of the "beat your friend's score" challenges (without paying lots of gems, which are very precious). The number of gems available in the daily challenge have been reduced by half, used to be 20 if you were signed in to facebook, 10 if not; now it's 10 and 5. Check out the comment in the release post and forum for more gripes.
    I never played Mario Cart, so can't say. AB Go is 3D, and challenging. May be now impossible.
  • KelaniKelani
    @SweetP aw, I wish you'd keep playing the River. You were doing so great :)

    The 0/1-birder on 20 is weird because even though his score's impossible, it's not obvious, so it's stayed up there. Danno's on #3 just has to be a powerup. I forgot about Xanthippe, but he handled it well.

    Not a peep on #17 yet. I'd hate to have to post the score and piss people off just to get some kind of decision on it.

  • KelaniKelani
    I know! I'll ask if I can take the extra 10k points from #17 and split them on #10 and #19. That solves all my problems! :D

  • KathyKathy
    @Kelani I say Post the score.. if it doesn't get questioned so be it.if it does then we present our case stated above about the double standards:/
  • SweetPSweetP
    @Kelani, thanks maybe I'll go back to BR in a couple days. I find that there are breadcrumbs everywhere, and I just can't find them all! The ones in the walkthroughs are ok, but the really tasty ones are those left behind here in the BP.

    As a mediocre flinger, it's frustrating when the birds won't cooperate and high scores are but a flyby daydream. *sigh* oh well, at least the AB Goddess is good to the rest of you, and that's all that matters!

    OB, another double Marmoset Killer please. I think getting bleary-eyed might help these lame flinger fingers! Hmm...maybe I should concoct another tropical drink.

    @Kathy, I haven't been able to read all of the details for the discrepancies you guys found. Since you've kept up with the conversations, maybe you could send a PM to BL and Slim.

    Has anyone flagged those questionable scores? I hope so!
  • AMslimfordyAMslimfordy
    @Kathy There is no double-standard here. Scores obtained with a "double bird bonus" are not permitted.
  • KelaniKelani
    @AMSlimFordy Xanthippe's sounded more like a compromise, to be honest, since it was reduced, rather than refused outright.

    Since you're here, what should I do about mine on #17, which could be a legit high score with a double-counted bird on top of it?
  • KathyKathy
    @Sweetp I know I've flagged them. . and I've @mmentioned slim inn several of them to no avail.
    Im not going to pm them as I've done inn the past and got the same answersv'its old score' it looks o.k' etc. doesn't matter to me.m it's not affecting my score er say.. but as a matter of keeping things/rules precedents if it applies to one it should apply to all.I just thought coming from you being an admin it may carry more weight but nooo worry .. im just about done anyhow; )
  • KelaniKelani
    @SweetP I'm sure someone has, but they've all been questioned and discussed extensively in the walkthrough comments.

    btw, you know if you keep playing the River, any of us will be glad to help you find the points. :) I think you're doing great, and it'd be nice to have a BP Magnificent 7 at the top.
  • KathyKathy
    @Amslimfordy what about danno score inn level #3 ? he admits its a double count.. and I've flagged it and questioned. . but it still stands? I am just looking for fair to all across the boards
    and then there are a couple more maybe @fenikus or @bernersenn had noticed?
  • KelaniKelani
    Currently there's #3 which I believe has to be a powerup score. His explanation leaves no other possibility.

    #17 Mine which I detailed on the walkthrough page.
    #19 Xanthippe's which was reduced
    #20 Which could go either way. I don't believe it's an attainable score without his old ios glitch. He claims he's using an old iOS version. I don't see how that could affect AB gameplay in any way. Nobody else has reported the events he claimed.
  • AMslimfordyAMslimfordy
    @Kathy The last time I was mentioned by anyone, Danno poste a screenshot and said he thought it was just a fluke shot. Since then, no admin has been mentioned in any comment. So please don't accuse us or me of ignoring pleas and prompts. Thanks.
  • KelaniKelani
    @AmSlimFordy Both I and @fenikus mentioned you last night at 9 and 10PM on #17 for my score.
  • KelaniKelani
    Just to be clear, I'm not accusing you of ignoring me. I assumed you hadn't had a chance to deal with it yet. No biggie here.
  • KathyKathy
    @Amslimfordy I'm not accusing you and i know you are very busy. but i have mentioned and have flagged scores.. maybe i meant to mention and didn't im sorry for that
  • AMslimfordyAMslimfordy
    @Kelani I responded to 17.

    @Kathy I don't see anything conclusive on 3 to suggest a double-bird count. Granted I've been up for nearly 42 hours straight and have been running on caffeine fumes for a while so I'm not being as thorough as usual, but I don't see any heavy evidence. Feel free to PM me and provide more details about the suspicion and I'll take a look in the next few days.
  • KathyKathy
    o.k thanks @Amslimfordy get some rest.
  • KelaniKelani
    @AmSlimFordy We've run some of these levels through extended automated tests. It helps gauge potential high scores and frequency of self-destructive behavior. Would you have any use for any of that info along with @Kathy's notes?

    Thanks for replying on #17. I need sleep as much as you do, so I'll reply tomorrow.
  • KelaniKelani
    @Kathy good luck getting points. I've gotta find food and sleep. :)
  • KathyKathy
  • KelaniKelani
    That's a cute one. Add some hair and that'll be me in about an hour. :)

    'nighty.
  • KathyKathy
    lol @kelani I just took #3 in level 10.. behind @bernersenn and @fenikus ,)

    Hi all! Just popping in real quick. Had to share this.....
    http://www.khou.com/news/editors-pick/Birds-attack-people-outside-store-in-Channelview-258407471.html?google_editors_picks=true
    Off to work.
  • RatRat
    Remind me never to attack one of your friends @Ma. I saw you lay into @Kelani when he wanted to hurt me in the real world. You really are "Ferocious". Thanks for being a good friend.

    @Kelani Kudos on your integrity. If all flingers had your ethics, we wouldn't need the leaderboard guardians. Sorry about Slim's ruling on 17, but we both knew it was a double count. But what a score! WOW!!!!
    I am watching the 10 point deficit you have against me. Todays the day you pass me by. I'm not 100% by a long shot, but if you do bump me, I might do a quick skinny dip in the river. Here's hoping I get to keep my clothes on a bit longer.
  • RatRat
    Where ya been @ABcrazy? I see they play Angry Birds in Houston.
  • RatRat
    Oh, and Ma, congRATs on level 10. Again you beat the teacher. Do I at least get a shiny red apple(I-pad)?
  • mvnla2mvnla2
    @ABCrazy -- I think those birds have been playing AB too much!
  • bernersennbernersenn
    Hello guys and dolls. Work is done, battery if full loaded. Was thinking about what to do this evening. Well, first of all wanted to ask OB to serve some drinks. Then, thinking again, mhh, I am going to do some flings. @kelani, I saw that you walked away about 2k from me, you naughty boy. Let's see what we can do about that.
  • KelaniKelani
    @Rat Unless something changed overnight, Slim hasn't made any ruling on #17. I'm supposed to PM him about it, and send him my data files if needed. The way I see it, there's 3 things that could have happened:

    1. 163k w 0/DCB: Impossible, barring some ABmiracle.

    2. 143k w/2 DCB: I doubt this. I had near-total destruction. Detonating the bomb under the boat and those two vertical planks made everything above crumble and break instead of sinking. it was so much more carnage than my 143k score that I didn't reset and took that damn sip of ginger ale.

    3. 153k w/1 DCB: Fits with the amount of destruction, also seems to be an attainable, albeit lucky score for anyone else.

    #3 seems fair to me, but I'm open to other ideas. One big problem I have with it is, why would one bird get double-counted but not the other. If I can't find evidence that's happened before, or if people hate that idea, I'll just let Slim find the truth in my data files.

    So, @Rat if I were to pass you today, why would I post it? I'm not gonna be the guy who's responsible for you hurting yourself :)

    @Kathy wow congRats on #10 and nice slap in the face, too :P Now everyone's up there but me. I must be aiming in the wrong spot to get a 1-birder, cause I haven't seen one all week.
  • KelaniKelani
    The later it gets, the better she flings.
  • RatRat
    @Kelani I've got Ma to look out for me. If you have points, post em'. I'm a big boy now! I always fling in pain. It's just a matter of degrees. Although the thumb thing was new. As far as Slim, I read between the lines. Didn't you?
  • KelaniKelani
    @bernersenn Yeah, I took a break from #10 and squeezed a few more points out of #20. You'll catch up soon, because I am down to #10 and #16. Neither level likes me at all. Unless the #17 investigation gives me a 10k boost, my points aren't going anywhere for awhile :)
  • KelaniKelani
    @Rat No reading between lines last night. I was almost as tired as he was. I took what he wrote on #17 walkthru page at face value. I'll send him the data files and whatever comes of that is fine by me.


  • RatRat
    About 17 @Kelani. It plays like level 20. I've had near total destruction, even in the boat, and scored in the 130k's. I've had a lot less destruction and scored in the 140k's. And don't get me started about level 20. I still don't have a clue. I can get a score over 100k on the first bird, clear with the second, and barely make 180k's. I get 80k's on bird one, clear with second and score in the mid 190k's. ????? Drop the cinder blocks, don't drop the blocks, it just doesn't have any consistency in the final score. ?????

    I think there's another secret marmoset facility in the water
  • KelaniKelani
    It does make you wonder how many scores have that bug? You gotta remember that not all of them will be high scores.
  • RatRat
    @Kelani No offense. But between you me and OB, I don't think 153k is possible on 17.
  • KelaniKelani
    @Rat I agree it is highly variable and hard to judge. @fenikus and I played a ton of times clearing 17 with 4 birds to gauge the max damage as best as we could. Just to have a clearer, albeit still imperfect picture. We maxed at 130/131k which makes 153k theoretically possible but 163k almost certainly not.
  • KelaniKelani
    @Rat and you may be right. If I can't find any instances of one of 2 birds being double-counted, I'm just gonna let it drop.
  • RatRat
    Theoretically, 131+20 don't equal 153k+. I have been listening.
  • KelaniKelani
    but if someone scores 153k or higher at some point, I'm posting that sucker :P
  • KelaniKelani
    @Rat *we* got 131. There is a margin for error, and like I said, all the right side stuff broke above the water. It was unusual, to say the least.
