The poll pretty much sums it up. After a very frustrating day yesterday, I decided to have some fun with this!
First, the facts:
It takes 10 wins for a gold pin. I have 6 so far.
It takes 3900 to get a bronze pin.
I have read the tips. I have been given advice by excellent players.
I have played and played and played.
My best so far is 3550. However, when I land in just the right game, I win!!!
Last night I realized, the way this is set up, I could actually get my gold pin without ever getting my bronze or silver. How funny would that be?
So, which do you think will happen first? (And trust me, as a few of you know, I really WANT that pin!) My best ever in the old game was 237,000.
-
Nah, you will get it, but like you I may get a gold before I get a silver, I have yet to win though. LOL Maybe I should Stop playing the same games as my friends.
-
Well gold is so much more prettier than bronze. So go for the gold girl. Me I get thrill just seeing my pic in the top three. And the way I play this game now that is the best I can hope for.
-
I heard someone saying that only the gold fireworks pin is tradeable and the broze and silver aren't. Maybe that did this because the Gold will be easier to get than the others.
-
Yes, the gold pins are the only ones tradeable. I say just do your best and have fun! But the gold pins are very nice to get. :)
-
Well, what's the update girl?
And what do you have to do to get a Silver?
I just got my bronze...the gold seems much more difficult to me. lol
Good luck!
-
Pin requirements are as such:
Bronze Pin - 3900
Silver Pin - 4400
Gold Pin - Ten Wins
I finally got my gold pin last night, I have scored over 5000 twice so far but the game is far to stressfull trying to do that well. Plus you will see Fire Works in your sleep.

Wow - I did not realize the interest in my fireworks quest! I certainly would have shared sooner. :sorry:
Getting bronze became, one could say, an obssession. I literally could not do anything else. I missed it by 10 points 1 game, developed charts to know if I was even close to being on track, quit games if I saw 5 or more of the likes of ahockeyguy, amberdaze, sillykid, etc... in my games (knowing if I could not stay in top 5, I would not get bronze).
Then, one Saturday afternoon, I did nothing but play fireworks all day. I had 8 wins on my way to gold. While the husband was peacefully watching football and the dog was curled up on the couch beside me, I screamed so loud that I scared "my boys" half to death!

Yep, by a mere 22 points.
As fun as it would have been to get gold first, I could not bring myself to stop playing. I thought about it for an instant, but could not do it. I had to see if I could get the now agonizing 3900.
I did come in first, however, giving me my 9th win.
Then, a few days later (yes, I took a fireworks break for a bit)...
With a score not even CLOSE to enough for the bronze pin -

Many of you gave me tips, hints, and rooted me along the way. And I was thrilled that so many of you were on that afternoon and helped celebrate my joy!

It slowly turned into a party - what a surprise!

Thanks everyone for your support and for sharing in my joy! (And I LOVE that only 1 of you thought I'd get bronze first!) Oh, and if anyone is wondering - I have worked just as hard at my fireworks score every game I have played since. I have yet to hit 3900 again - so dont even ASK about silver. I got my bronze and gold (which IS pruple after all) - and that's probably going to be it for me. And that's just fine. :)

Wtg Dreams! So even if we come in third we don't get a pin unless we have 3900? I took third place before, but never got a pin.

With the new fireworks game, you only get bronze by reaching 3900. Your place does not matter at all. Silver is 4300 (???). Gold is 10 wins (score does not matter). btw, I still have not gotten my Silver, but am close to another gold. Silly game......
-
LOL Dreams! Thanks for the info. :amazed: I guess I will never get a banner, but I hope you get the silver one real soon. :)
