So if you are keeping Halloween active to collect lanterns, either close out the event first so you get all the rewards, or wait until it ends to do this. I'm just wondering if this is something G5 will 'fix' in the next update. Let's really hope they don't! As Monty I has been TTing back 1 year, moving 1 day forward each time i TT, once even getting back to today in 1 day. During the Halloween event, whenever I went back 1 year, I had +365 days left on the event counting down to however many days were left when I got to today.

The device is running Windows 8.1

At the moment I am: on 1st November 2015

I have 28 days 12 hours left in the event

I have not opened the spooky yard

I have the orb, level 1, only just got it.

I have 963 Halloween lanterns

I have no need for the talisman as I TT

I am not worried about getting the avatar

I don't think I mind coming out of event or being pushed out of it if that is what happens. The reason I say THINK is I am not sure if there is any advantage I might want (not avatar or talisman) perhaps someone can advise.

I do not have a lot of talisman but could spare scroll, money bag, fortune and winged lightning or magic Crystal.

I am not bragging, but only mentioning this as I may be able to try a few things out.

Had thought TTing back a year from 1.11.15 to 1.11.14 to see if it continues to add 365 to countdown. I have never started a TTing run from anything but the real time, so don't know how that will work or if it will continue charging my awards as I come forward towards real time.

Before I trusted the event countdown when TT, in real time, I activated my only Time Talisman as I am not very good at GM and played like crazy to get the orb. Once I got it and calmed down, a few ciders later, I went TTing, my standard 1 year. Low and behold the Time Talisman travelled with me, I had 365 days plus a few hours to use it up, as all I was doing was gifting and visiting I didn't try using it. Few ciders later and I'd finished TTing so I automatically set date and time to now and promptly lost the talisman. Lesson to be learnt: Don't come back to now, or should that be don't drink and TT, I don't know.

Anyway, can I have your ideas on what to try, to see if we can get any further advantages from TTing.

To be honest, it blew my mind when I 1st TT'd, then to find you can run a talisman for 1 year, blown away again. I know it's great fun, but now my main aim is to get enough strength so I can visit and gift all my friends daily, at least once, preferably more. Anything else is just an added bonus.

If my situation helps to find other loops then I will try them, just let me know what you want me to try.

I do not want to go into the future as this took me ages to rectify on the one occasion I tried it and I can't see any reason.

Hope this helps someone, if not, then please excuse my ramblings.
