Okay, here is the guide for the next event, Lift Thing...
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/rejected-olympics-2012/thing-lift-guide/t.80880355/

Nobody has seen the game yet though, just the guide. As soon as I find a direct link I'll post it here.

This one is a team-effort game, which requires 5 members from each town. You guys may be able to find more people from the guild to go with you if you post a request here if that ends up being necessary. I have a representative from each town with my accounts, so I can lend a hand to any team. I also have two Barton accounts, and it's been hinted in the Event Forum that you may be able to use mules for extra players (ie, multiple windows).  

[Kyuui Kiwi]

Out of curiosity though, if the game is based on precise timing, wouldn't it be a little difficult to use 2 accounts?

And thanks for the update. I kept looking for the game xP.

Once it comes out, I'm open to go with anyone as well, I also have a mule on every team.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. smile

New game is here 3nodding Just walk to the right in towns until you reach the beach and you should see the new icon. Its actually a really easy game haha.  

[Ned-san]

Yes, very easy. smile Just sit on the line around your town's rock, then when the countdown gets to 0, stand up. Do that until your points reach 20, then go back to the event page to collect your adoring babes!

I'm glad they made a game that allows you to interact with other Gaians this time. That's been the big problem with the Olympic games so far, is no multi-player interaction... just some little flash game that you play by yourself. We could go onto a thousand internet websites to play much funner games like that.

The best were the old forum-based events that we used to have... everything from vampire hunts to zombie invasions to water fights. We had much funner role-play and interaction that way.

Did anybody else have problems getting onto Gaia earlier? I wasn't able to get on until now. I took a break and watched Wrath of the Titans instead, then after I finished it still took me many tries to get back on.

I think if you have a group of more than 5, as long as 5 people do it you still get points.... emotion_awesome Cause my points flash even if I didn't do anything.
Thats just an assumption though, I don't know if its actually true.

Yeah, you need to have 5 people on the same team doing it properly to get any points. It'll flash if you do it right. But you don't necessarily get the item after getting the points, for some reason. I just keep lifting in one window and keep checking the events page in another window to see if I got the item.

Barton is kind of disadvantaged because you can't sit anywhere and still see the countdown.

The CTRL trick from the smart Gambino girls really helps. wink

Unfortunately, some people play dumb and stand in front of the timer. If you wanna screw up the other team, I guess that would be the way to do it. wink But you can still tell when to stand by the movement of the rock.

Yeah, the points seem to update very slowly D: I know they said every 5 minutes... but I don't think thats really working well.
So far mine has only increased in increments of 100, but at the moment its not going up at all.

Lol, yep a few people were blocking the clocks for a little while. They eventually left though so its all good.

EDIT: Score finally went up.

Yay! Good job. smile

lol, it seems the Aekea clock is the toughest to see if you keep your chat window up. sad I wish they would let you move those darned chat windows or at least choose which side they pop up on.  

[Kyuui Kiwi]

DISLIKE. Haha the scoring system changed. I didn't get a perfect 20 anymore. sad Well as long as the other ones counted towards the perfect achievement, I'm happy.  

[Ned-san]

And now you guys will see why Durem is so cool... wink







And we even lifted this thing so hard that we THREW it out of the ring!
