I am assuming that the G5/MyTona people are in Europe based on various hints I have gathered from emails and articles. If that is true, then we need to remember that their cultural may not have "working over the weekend" attitudes. As frustrating as that must be to players, we need to be respectful of lifestyle and cultural differences. In my one email, I did pose the question as to what they were going to do to compensate for lost time, friends, talismans, $ etc. The response I got was not the pat "we know and we're working on it" alone. The email I got back did acknowlege my specific question and perhaps something will come of it.

We also don't really know WHAT the issue is, how gigantic it may be, and how convoluted reviewing all of the computer code can be. I've worked a tiny bit writing code using pictures with my students and when mistakes are made even in only two or three lines of code finding them is a giant bear. Most times, I just told my students to start over.

As for me and progress in the current challenge...I was REALLY lucky in that I got the balloon rather quickly (most of the thingie drops were 3s) and I was even luckier in that finishing all of the quests came pretty immediately. I never once had an unsuccessful required mode search, and when a specific mode was required it came up in short order. The first task dropped as a gift while zapping and I am pretty sure that I played under 45 games in all. I finished the tasks within the first 10 days of the event. As for the avatar, I finished that yesterday and when I go into the game the avatar is there. Since I believe that the challenge achievements are part of one's device and not connected to the server I don't think I'll loose those. However, I have read some people have lost progress on the balloon over the last 3 days.

Till next time. Smile...
