The Penguins Are Back! - 2018 Aug 2 (POLL ADDED)

[Blondiegirlhi]

I also very much enjoyed this event. This is what playing a game should be like, enjoyable and being able to succeed while also helping others to do the same. There was very little stress in this game, just fun playing and helping others. Thank you Storm8.

I have the same type of problem. I got the owl Friday, but am still trying to get the pika and the penguin fountain. I have 5 ice cream cottages, 3 fudge fountains, 7 choco shrubs, 8 pop bushes, 5 cookie stacks, 9 vanilla shrubs, 6 ice cream planters, and 8 beehive cakes. 51 times, so far. Wish me luck, because as the blues song says, ?without bad luck I wouldn?t have no luck at all?.

Final tally out of over 100 times, 1 penguin sundae, zero pika, 8 cottages, 15 chocolate shrubs, 20 pop bushes, 12 cookie stacks, 15 vanilla shrubs, 12 ice cream planters, and 21 beehive cakes. I spent money, like a few other recent events, and no luck. Not happy.

Just wanted to make a comment about this event type. I?ve always enjoyed playing games with people. Even as a kid, I came up with new rules for scrabble where you got extra points for helping someone. I enjoy this type of event. Being able to share my extra thingies and buy someone else?s whatsadoodles makes it feel more like a community. I started selling extras when I noticed how lopsided my collecting was. I even sold completed pops when I noticed I wouldn?t have time to make arrangements with all of them. I feel helpful, like when I volunteer at our local food pantry - not exactly the same, but it?s the ? here, I have it and I don?t mind giving it to you if you need it? type of kindness that I enjoy and try hard to instill in my children. Please make more events where can help one another. Ok that?s me getting off my soapbox.

I love it - my thoughts exactly! I love playing with others and really enjoyed selling off my excess knowing how much I appreciated others doing the same! Loved this event, even if I didn?t get the fudge fountain!

Managed to get at least one of each prize...except the Pika. Probably fed the penguin about 30 or so times, but I kept getting Cookie Stacks or Chocolate or Vanilla Shrubs. I'm not going to complain, since I received the Snowy Owl...but it would have been nice to get the Pika too. Oh, well.

I like the idea of being able to craft frozen treats, as we did in this event. I also liked using different fruit from what we usually use to craft them. Perhaps Kiwi and Pineapple could be added, and these frozen treats can be brought back and made permanent, but made "properly" with harvested produce instead of item drops? Just a thought...

While this event allowed me to receive the Beehive Cake that I missed during a previous event, it was not exactly what I had been hoping for...especially when I ended up getting a second one later. Still, if it ever comes to pass that I have occasion to put out "dessert" decorations on my farm, having the two will allow for a degree of balance to whatever I put out.

Not sure I need a yard full of Chocolate and Vanilla Shrubs...maybe if I set up an ice cream-themed section...

Thank you! Unfortunately I didn't leave the game on purpose it shut down on me...oh well that's life I guess I shouldn't of been playing it at work. LoL �� But I was wondering How do you do a force save??

I know that in Castle Story visiting someone else's game forces your game to sync with the server - and I think this works for all S8 games. I find lower level players are better to visit for this because (in CS) visiting a really big kingdom will sometimes crash my game.

I can not see where to purchase the icy igloo. nor do I see it in storage. Have the snowy owl, but not the pica, so the owl will remain in the cellar

I couldn't buy an igloo until I leveled up to level 17, but it let me participate in the event when I was below level 17. That might not be your problem but I just thought I'd mention it, in case any lower level players are wondering about this.

You can force save your game progress by visiting another farm, clicking on your newspaper or clicking Social/Community. See suggestions and tips in What can I do to try to resolve my game issues?

Go to Market, click on Animal/Pets tab. Do make sure that you are playing on the latest regular game version.

Oh you have such great ideas! Love them! Who knows we may see Delora soon.

Just for you... here's a picture of Bernard climbing up the Fudge Fountain for some delicious fudge.

Oh, that Bernard! He's such a precocious lite dude!

I really liked this event. I prefer this time of event than the collection event because it is easier to turn in collections since we get to start collecting all the items from day one, and we get to trade event items and we don?t have to give collection items in the Goals. Please do more of these types of collection events instead of rhe ones where a new item unlocks every day, or at least make all the items unlock st the same time.

The only thing i didn?t lkke about this event is some repeat prizes. I loved the two pets and also the penguin ice cream decoration!

I agree with all of the above. I do generally like the one unlocked item a day deal, but after this e entire like that alot better. The disadvantage is that nothing is stored in the collection thing, they're all stored in your barn. So now you have to engage in Burn management, which is always a challenge. But really that's one of the things that make this game a challenge is that you do have to manage your barn. This time it seemed relatively reasonable, I think that is because we got to help out others by buying and selling. That really is the key in my opinion. But everything Paul said above, I pretty much agree with. I did like the prizes, even the repeats, but I do think that some of the repeats got maybe two repetitive? Like how many ice cream Cottages do I really need? That said, great event. More helping out others please please please.

This is probably my favorite comment of the entire thread. What a fantastic point of view and attitude! Really, when you get right down to it, this is a social game. So I do think that some of the elements that promote that social aspect only make it better. Great comment.

Limit on igloos all are full have owl stuck in storage is there a way to sell one of my dogs?

Not sure if you know, but you can put one of your dogs in storage, so you can bring the snowy owl out on the igloo. Just click on the igloo and go to the animal carrier with the paw print on it, and from there you can decide who you want to put in storage. Hope that helps.
