I can't imagine any Deltas being okay with this, either. I doubt SigEps will be happy with this. That's funny, OTW-I was thinkin' about it and I thought, "I wonder what OTW and the rest of my girls on GC think about this."

I highly doubt she's an SK because she has nothing about it on her myspace page. The only SK chapter that is close by is at Berkeley but she has nothing about Berkeley on her myspace page either.

Plus "Carol" doesn't own SL anymore, at least not the myspace SL....playdom own it now.

and ETA: Can SL stop looking like mafia wars? I hope they don't do these changes on myspace.

I've met girls who were completely oblivious to other NPC groups (much less other GLOs in other umbrella organizations) that weren't on their campus... but I'd also argue that she *must* be aware of other GLOs at least now if she had enough sense to take down Kappa Alpha Theta, DG, ADPi, etc from the top banner.

That might explain a lot! I don't know much about playdom, but they are changing SL the way a corporate entity would change any product that they don't know anything about. The keepsakes, collections, etc. are so unnecessary and do nothing for me. Is it just me, or does the browser not respond when accessing the Glam tab? I'm using Firefox.

I think I may be another one biting the dust on SL. It's just not as fun as it used to be. Too much going on.

And using actual organizations' letters?! The developers are killing me.

SL is turning into a girly Mafia Wars. I only played Mafia Wars for like a day, but I remember seeing the "collections" and things like that. I'm pretty sure Playdom owns them too.

Soon we are gonna see that you have to "fight" the Chapter Advisor, or rival sorority President, or something like that :rolleyes:

Mafia Wars is owned by Zynga, not Playdom.

And Zynga is just as bad about randomly introducing new things that blow people's strategies to shit.

ThetaPrincess24 09-26-2009 11:12 AM

I try to keep my cash balance at $0 and keep everything deposited in the bank except for when I'm buying glam. This way when I get attacked, they may take confidence points, but they wont get my money.

I made it to level 45 this morning :) How many levels are there?

WinniBug 09-26-2009 01:38 PM

This is the order I do things when I sign on...
1. Bank my $ (but I usually get slammed between signing on and getting to the bank)
2. Fight my confidence down to decrease the chance I'd get attacked
3. Socialize events
4. Bank money from events

ThetaPrincess, my main character's at Level 123 although I know some ladies are already at Level 200+. My mini's at Level 41.

I haven't seen Samantha Who Two on my Fight List lately. I wonder if she finally got a life?

I have one now that I swear is purposely seeking me out. Chelsie Maximillion. I want her head on a platter! :)

pbear19 09-26-2009 06:39 PM

Sweet. I just had someone pay over 2.5 mil to burn me. I don't remember fighting her, but I'm sure I did. I'm wondering if she was the one who didn't bank.

So now I've got a 6th depression, but every single person who fought me lost, so in all I think I broke even on the influence points. Seems kinda win-win for me, and lose-lose for her. I'll take it!

I'm the same on 1-3. I'm still building up big money glam (ie Hummers, D&G tie front dress, etc), so my fourth step has been to use my events monies, withdraw some more and buy more items. Fortunately, I have over 450+ dresses and Hummers, so I'm starting to win more when I'm attacked.

However, my browser is really locking up on me when I'm on the Glam tab. So, I might have to start just banking my event money.

What do you all think of the Collections and such? Having fun with it?

WinniBug 09-27-2009 10:45 AM

Ahh! SL won't load, but I'm getting attacked!

I don't know about the collections. It's frustrating!

texas*princess 09-27-2009 11:43 AM

Fortune Cookie glam
 
I usually just log on to bank/attack until I go to the spa/bank/socialize/bank and then log off.

Yesterday I actually stopped to look at the Fortune Cookie thing on the Main page. (It's right below the "Featured Item of the Day" on the right side of the screen)

I picked a cookie and got a pair of Ray Bans... whoop de doo. I figured all of them would be crap glam that I didn't need or want...esp. since it was free and didn't cost any BPs.

I went back today and got a Jeep CJ (the one that was selling for like 20 BPs)! It has 20 Charm & 18 Pop.

Has everyone else seen this? What prizes have you won through it?

pbear19 09-27-2009 01:06 PM

The first two days with the fortune cookies I got a pair of sunglasses (I think the Georgio Armani ones) and the Gladiator Wedge sandals. Both have 20 pop, I believe. They were definitely BP items. Today I got a crappy outfit, but I'm still excited to have gotten two high pop accs.

And, I just got burned again. ;) These level 115+ ladies who don't bank their money get a little feisty.

WinniBug 09-27-2009 02:56 PM

I got a stupid juicy couture dress and some dreds

aephi alum 09-27-2009 04:13 PM

So far, I've gotten an iPhone, a bottle of Clive Christian perfume (which I promptly sold), and an Angelina Jolie's hairstyle and earrings - which is a BP item, 19 charm / 9 pop. That's one fewer pair of mocha suede boots I have to buy. ;)

This collection thing is frustrating. The items will.not.drop. Plus, I've earned platinum mastery in all the out-of-town events, so now I will have to go back... grrr.

WinniBug 09-27-2009 04:50 PM

So, in the 6 or 7 hours that SL wouldn't load, I was attacked over 10 times and lost over $550,000. :-(

texas*princess 09-28-2009 10:25 PM

Ugh! I can't effing find 3 items to complete the Pledge collection.

I need a secret password, embroidered pillow, & a pledge pack.

I have an extra pledge manual & lavalier and am willing to trade!

texas*princess 09-28-2009 10:55 PM

You are MUCH farther along than I am! Good luck finding your items!

bostongreek 09-28-2009 11:33 PM

Wow, you're doing really well at the collections. I have two things so far.

I really wish they brought this up before I platinumed so many events :mad:

33girl 09-29-2009 12:05 AM

WTH are these collections and grab bag things? I don't get it.

Also the letters in the sand thing annoys me. It's too much brain power for this game.

Thank you! I haven't figured the point of that one out whatsoever.

WinniBug 09-29-2009 07:14 AM

For the letters in the sand, I minimize my browser window and open another, so both fit on my screen at the same time. I open up this website http://www.wineverygame.com/wbg.php, start the game, and type in the scrambled letters...that way I can look and type.
:-)

I won the marilyn dress, blond bun (I already had one of these so I wasnt excited), cheerleader outfit, and the jason wu dress. I've been pretty happy with it. I hope it will give me things I need and dont have more often than things I already have though.

You can't find items after you've already mastered Platinum level? uuugggggh!!

33girl 09-29-2009 08:07 PM

The fortune cookie thing gave me a laptop. I think that's what it said...or it might have been the rasta hat. I think today is FB's time of the month or something.

texas*princess 09-29-2009 08:45 PM

ooooh
I have a mini but she's a lvl 4... and i haven't played it in... forever...

It just seems like such a pain to start all over!

XxJuJuBabiixX 09-29-2009 08:46 PM

I love that game <3 its sooooo addictive!

jessica.lanelle 09-29-2009 09:48 PM

I just started playing on Facebook b/c of the collections thing. I didn't want to @ first, but it's pretty fun to start all over, actually!

texas*princess 09-30-2009 08:32 AM

What campus event gives you Powder Puff keepsakes?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't gotten all of them yet but....

Football and Hunky Cheerleader--Bake-Athon for Charity
Compact--Set up a Date for Auction
Football Helmet--Organize Homecoming Formal

I think that you could get them from the other events, but so far these are the only 3 that I've started mastering.

oooooh!

I didn't know they came from different events... I thought that they all come from the same event.

I'm still trying to complete my pledge collection, but so far have received:

2-pledge manuals
2-laveliers
1-embroidered pillow
1-Can of pledge

all from the same event (Create a house website)

I have kept trying that same event trying to get the other two keepsakes,but maybe I can't find the other two because they come from different events... hmmmm

texas*princess 09-30-2009 10:07 PM

I'll send them tonight :)

33girl 10-01-2009 12:17 PM

You can now get a Don Draper ("Ad Man") with your brownie points. LOL. Wish I could do that in real life!!

WinniBug 10-01-2009 01:54 PM

WooHoo!



You have unlocked the Sweet Memories achievement by completing 1 collection.
The House Mom is impressed, and has rewarded you with 1 brownie points.You found the Big Ol' Sponge keepsake!
This completes your Charity Car Wash Collection!
You turned in one of each item from this collection to earn +8 to max confidence.
You got 1 T-Shirt and Shorts.
You got 1 Brunette Ponytail.
Try it on and see how it looks.

WinniBug 10-01-2009 01:55 PM

And I completed it by doing the 4-point "Night on the Town" event over and over and over and over....

WinniBug 10-01-2009 02:00 PM

I have extras...1 soap, 1 bucket, 1 hose, and 4 car wash signs...anyone need anything?

DDDlady 10-01-2009 02:31 PM

I am addicted to this silly game. I am close to completing the powder puff and spring break collections. I just need the sun hat and the powder puff. I am willing to trade!

I have an extra:
Beach ball
hotel key
compact
football helmet

PM me if you are interested in a trade!

I tried doing that right now, used up all 227 of my energy and still didn't complete the collection. lol.

I'm missing the hose and the buffer :(

I have 2 extra sponges, 1 extra helmet, 3 extra footballs, 1 extra cheerleader, and one extra compact if anyone needs it :)
