ROFL.  Sounds like the same 2 that came into a room I was in tonight.  Following each other.  O tried to tell them how to say it.  One of them called her a liar.  LOL.  Nice...

Flamanar...some people are better off losing... :hmm:

Those are the kinds of people I like to share a room with during hunts!   :drinkingtoast:

Gives me a chance at least, LOL!

ROFL!  I think the same thing when I see that! 

I used to try helping people to say it right...but it takes at LEAST a couple rounds of explaining...and even then, either they don't get it, or they call you a liar.  The problem is that they ask us to 'show' them how to say it...but we can't.  As soon as we tell them we can't show them by typing it out for them, we're labeled.  :hmm: LOL.

It would be nice if VFK included in each 'blast' a line that says "you will only be able to say the correct line once the Host is actually in the same room as you are...otherwise, the text will show up red and will be unspeakable".  Of course, they'd have to READ the blasts to find that out...and I think most of them don't read them (I know I don't, lol).  Eventually they will learn...

Flamanar...not easy sometimes doing the right thing... :waveb:

We're supposed to read those blasted pop-ups? I mean blasts?  :lolp: 

If you let them build up and not delete any of them, eventually you have a white-out snow screen! And, no, I don't know what possesses me to find these things out  :hmm:

Wise words, Pink.  As Flame has written:  "He who speaks during Host hunts...loses Host hunts".  Silence is golden in this case...no offense meant to Golden.  ;)  :lolg:

It's sad that it has to be like that, but it's true.   Watch and listen:  you have a chance at winning.  Talk and not pay attention:  chances are you're wasting your time even playing the game. 

I remember winning in a room once last month, and one of the people who didn't win said (no lie): "That's not fair!  I was watching TV!".  Yup...there's always a few like that 'out there'... :hmm:

Flamanar...-silence-... :-X

LOL!!  OK, this really made me laugh out loud when I read it!  Glad my coffee was not in my hands (or in my mouth!!)

That's priceless!  LOL!

I am going to pass around a sign in sheet for Hero to do this "Host Hunt for Dummies" class!  And Pink, true confession here  :sur::  most likely one of those fairies you see over and over again flying through your room is.........dare I confess: our son!  :lolg:

While his method drives me insane, I am not allowed to say anything about it anymore, because his method has NEVER failed!!!  This kid has radar, honest to goodness!  Not only that, he LIVES for the challenge of getting to the "hint" places first!  He says:  because he has been flying around all over the kingdom, he can get there faster because the "room has already loaded several times for him and therefore loads faster".....hmmm sounds pretty techno geeky to me, but again:  it works!!!

Sigh.

Neither did I!  In fact, I was gonna tell him to stop flying all over the place (thinking it was a waste of time)...but he kept winning...sometimes a couple different times in one game!  At that point, I told him to do whatever works for him. lol. :laugh2:

Flamanar...thinking of retiring from hunting and just let Hero have at it... :heat:

Yeah....it continues.  Here's another clear pic from tonights hunt of how Dragons hunt is still broken.  First player said it correct...second player won:



Here's a pic of the staff announcement that talks about how you have to say the sentence EXACTLY:



...which amazes me since everyone has seen the pics I've been posting of people winning by saying the sentence INCORRECTLY.

Flamanar...printscreen is getting old... :sur:
