I wonder if we can win more then one of each bottle to help others out as well?
See now this is why VFK should POST on their homepage. Everyone has no idea what's going on as usually. :td: :madder: Bring on the lag and crashing!

What you said, Crazy. No info? People wasting hours trying to get a bottle that they don't know how to get? Really... :hmm:

:drunk: FIREWORKS IN A BOTTLE, YAH :drunk:
:drunk: FIREWORKS MAKES YOU HIT THE BOTTLE, YAH :drunk:
(sings to the tune of message in a bottle-by the police)
:lolg:
Yeah, it seems pointless. Yet the collectors among us want to have at least 1. Also, there was a new magic which was 'discovered' yesterday called 'Focus magic'. You apparently get this after winning a bottle from each of the 6 minigames in VFK. Sigh...
Flamanar
Sheesh you too. I'm over 30 games on Fireworks and no bottles. I'm not good at this game, and can get abut 1-2,ooo points at most. Very tired. And just drained.
I will post my winnings again here and we can keep comparing notes.Thanks Wendy! Looks like I'll be playing birds till doomsday :(
Birds took me 2 games, each one I did all 60 levels and each took 30-45 minutes. I also had a small game in there that I had to exit early on, but I don't think that counted for anything.
Fireworks took me about 13 games, scoring between 6,200-6,900 each time. Based on other folks winnings, I still can't figure these 2 out. Some people have played for hours and hours and nothing? :??:
I am getting ready to go back and finish my checkers experiment. I have heard pretty consistently that 10-11 wins with all different people get the bottle. I will update here if I find that true - that would also match your findings Flame.
Tomorrow, I get to get my tushie kicked by my family on the Space Age games lol!
Looks like the magic number in checkers is 10 wins with all different opponents. If anyone needs help from someone at checkers, we have clones who are very "bad" at this game... :lolg:
Well, I played Fireworks for a good part of one afternoon (and evening). I tend to average about 5,000 pts (my daughter tells me she does *much* better without even trying :tongue3:). I had given up on getting anything at that time. Next day I was looking through my inventory for the second part of a teleporter (kept ending up in rooms I had forgotten I'd had), and the last item in my inventory was a bottle full of "trees". I pulled it out and so we all could look at it and the fireworks started flying inside. It's pretty cool.
Night Fighters Bottle changed- It is now Blue
:sos:
Still haven't won any bottles but haven't really tried yet either except fireworks. My question is do you have to win these games all in a row or does it seem to be going by the total number of games won? If it's in a row I guess I might as well figure I'll have no bottles other than maybe fireworks.
Also those of you good at the bird game, what is the trick with the jeep? I don't mess up because of the birds, it's always because I run out of gas. No matter what I try this happens. :(
Congrats Lisu!
------------------
Night Fighters bottles- it is confirmed by another player and myself.
You win the model ship that you play on. So, if you win on Pink Wrath, that will be your bottle that will be added to your inventory.
You win on Blue Wrath etc.... that will be what will go in the inventory.
You do NOT need all Night Fighters bottle for the magic, one is what you need. So no panic that you must win all those bottles. Win one NF bottle and go to next game on your list.
Said this, Flame and I had a bet how many bottles the NF game would give out. Seems he won, so now I have to call VFK and place an order for 3 membership... :'(
A bet is a bet... this will teach me to gamble! Well, at least it was memberships and NOT purple pumpkins or sir gobbles...
So who ever heard of birdwatching from a Hummer! Can't I just walk?
ROFL. Flame still doesn't understand why people buy Hummers...let alone watch birds from them. ;)

Here's a quick pic:

Five bottles on the left are Night Fighters bottles. The six on the right are the six necessary to earn the Focus magic.
(hugs)
Flamanar
Thanks for the pics, Flame. :thumb: We have not had much time to work on bottles yet, so I was curious about some of the bottles also. I will try to get a guide for Mini-Game Prizes going this weekend. The fireworks bottle is still one of my favorites!
As for King's "Dream Car Hummer", I have 3 words to say.... In His Dreams... :lolg: >:D

I also had a small game in there that I had to exit early on, but I don't think that counted for anything.Okay, for a rather, uh, "poor" player, what points/credits does going all 60 levels give you? I'm going to have to do this the slow, slow, repeatitous way (perserverance I think is one of the words they use when they give you the bottle). And just trying to estimate how many hundreds games it's going to take me.

Thanks. Woot! I finally got it. About 30 games, most in the 300pt range, hehehe. :clap1:
I learned from experience that you can't "cheat" on checkers, and throw the game after a move or two. I don't know if it's points-based, but ten wins by default do not get you a bottle :doh:
Last time I did Audubon I got something like 22 points. I'd better clear my calendar for the next few months :D
Am I the only one too intimidated to try Laser Tag or Night Fighters. I've gotten mediocre scores on the Pirate ships; how many points do I need for a bottle?

In checkers do the wins have to be all in a row or is it just a total of 10 or 11 wins? I'll never get 10 in a row and I could see myself having 9 wins and then a loss and having to start all over again so please tell me this isn't the case.

I haven't tried losing checkers since I played with clones. LOL. So I am of no use to you with that question. No idea if it is consecutive wins that matter or just cumulative. Sorry :(
Flamanar
I too am intimidated with Laser Tag and Night Fighters and even Pirate ships because I've never played them before.
At least we weren't the only people testing the 'quitting method' at checkers. :waveh: Didn't work for us, either! :lolg:
Pirates: see the top of page 4 of this thread to see how to high score. If you play Aurora using that method, you'll both have your bottles in no time because you're both accumulating points each game...no matter who wins. Takes a little practice lining the ships up to shoot and be shot (again, a type of 'ballet' happening there LOL).
GL!
Flamanar
Some clarification on checkers please?
Do you have to win against different opponents? I've been playing against one of my clones and I haven't been keeping track but I'm pretty sure I've done well over 10 games.
I also wanted to say a special thanks to Flamanar for posting the picture of all of those bottles! That is a great shot with all of them together! That will definitely be useful when creating a bottle game guide. :thumb: :hug:
"wonky" ??? ? ? ? ? ? :lolg:
Sorry Flame, no trademark for wonky. Princess used it correctly.
RosieC and Flame, here's your "learn one new thing every day".
My computer has been acting wonky lately - think we finally figured it out, but it has been making any longer posts I write all jumpy as I type.
:sos: Yeah What's up with JCS :sos:
That happens to me sometimes too. Grrrr
Astro, I am so glad you got the bottles and magic. We were worried about you with those things and were trying to figure out how we might be able to help.
:sos: Astro, I am glad to know the jumpy writing is not just me. It makes it impossible to edit a long post and has kept me from working on the bottle guide. Tomorrow when I have more time, I will post about it under the technical threads and see what Decoy thinks.
:sos: Yeah What's up with JCS :sos:

If any of you are running IE8 for your browser. In the Address Bar, right after where the address is, you should see three "buttons". First is Compatibility View, followed by Refresh and Stop. Click Compatibility View, and see if that doesn't help.
I had a problem where I was seeing some members Signatures overlap down into the next post, and when Decoy had me try that Compatibility View, I have not had any problems since.
Princess has tried it, and it worked for her as well.

Enigma confirmed to me that the bottles and magic are not going anytime soon. So, we can take our time getting them!
You're so welcome Fun! I am glad to help! And now we need to place me in the ships so you can make me explode! Woot!
Flame,
We also noticed that blurring someone doesn't seem to matter. We have one person shooting back and forth like you suggested - with targets moving as they are shot. Our daughter loves being the shooter - and she is good! :lolg:
One thing King and I have noticed with playing some of the mini-games is that the grid is still abit quirky. I might be one place on my screen and will show in a different place on his. Not consistently, but enough that I wonder if this is what has "Gold" on hold. You really can't Gold release with those issues.
We also tried to play pirates using "Mouse Only" controls and could not shoot. Seems that the double click shooting was not working and we were the first to report it. Who knows how long it was like that - I'm guessing people either just ignored it and played the other way or weren't trying it to begin with.
I am hoping to add to the bottle thread some while I have the chance. Thanks again everyone for the info here!
Ok. Some updated figures for Laser Tag. Played 3 bottles. Here are the scores. The first number is the score before winning the bottle, the second number is the score after getting the bottle:
22048-28415
23502-29381
22918-28608
Looking at the scores, I'm guessing that the threshold for getting a bottle in Laser Tag is probably around 25,000 points/credits total out of all games played.

Everytime I see the Laser Tag bottle I think of that Knock Your Block Off game - at least that's what I think it was called -- the 2 "boxers" where u kept punching the daylights out of the other till the head popped up... :lolg:
Question: in Night Fighers where you have the different ships: I know if you finally win you get the color you were using when you won. But, can the same person/peep win all of the bottles in different rounds - or - do you need to use a new person to win?

LOL. I remember mentioning that on another site when we got our first look at the Laser Tag uniforms. Too funny! GMTA ;)
Night Fighters: if you're asking if you need to switch out the opponents for each game until a bottle is won, the answer is no. Keep using the same people.
Also, have we established that you don't have to use the same ship for EVERY game to win that specific ship bottle...or does it only have to be the final winning game that gives you that specific ship bottle? I haven't tested that yet. Like if I want a Green Wrath, can I play all the games with a different ship until the last round, and use the Green Wrath on just that round to get that ship bottle? If you've already tried it, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll have another 'test' to do. LOL. Thanks :)

I think I did play with a green ship, black ship and then finally a blue ship steady until I won - the bottle had the blue ship that I used for most of the games.
But the same person can win more than 1 bottle for Night Fighters?
Do we still have today to do these games? I have played 8 games of fireworks for my daughter's character over the period of the beginning until now and I still don't have the fireworks bottle for her. With my character I got the bottle quickly. I get about 6300 each time and that's not including the games she played herself where she scored a few points but her scores aren't very high. I'm just not sure if I'm wasting my time today trying to get this bottle for her or not.

This morning before and after opening of game time: I played 10 Checkers games and got the bottle still today.
So I am guessing we might have today to complete any of these bottles
