Should I Risk It?

Mon Sep 06, 2004 1:51 pm

This is not gloating, it's asking for advice.

Something Has Happened!

Since you have been so nice, your game plays for Faerie Bubbles have been reset. You may now play three more times today! Hoorah!

I've already played Faerie Bubbles three times today, and since I'm good at it this means I could earn another 2000+ NP from it today. However, last I heard TNT monitors don't always acknowledge that RE and will freeze me on the grounds of cheating in flash games, which I don't want.

Opinions? Suggestions? Comments? Already a topic I didn't see...?

I find it discouraging that they don't aknowledge something that was built into their system (prolly why I never liked that RE), although I have never heard that happening. If you really don't want to risk it, don't do it then.

I would take a screenshot of the random event to pull up if you were to get frozen for it. If you do that, go ahead and play!

I've had that for whack-a-kass and played it and been absolutely fine

play it, esp since faerie bubbles is an easy 3k.

I got one of those for a game i played once, meepit juice break i think. I played it the extra time and i'm fine

I personally would not risk it,but..thats me. I am paranoid beyond belief.

Mon Sep 06, 2004 6:39 pm

i got that b4...i wouldn't risk it...not worth it

Actually, it's fine. That RE was announced several months ago.

Hang on, I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT:
Got it!

Don't be afraid to play on something the site has done itself. The site has built that RE into the system.. you can't be frozen forever for it! That would be ridiculous.

I say, it depends how angry you would be if you lost your account. If you would quit neopets forever if your account got frozen, then i would not play the games. If there is a risk of getting frozen, then dont to it! Thats how i live my life on neopets usually....... :oops:

I'm with Kitten Medli on this one ... being paranoid that is.

I know it's a real RE and I'm guessing that the particular game you got the RE for was reset to 0? But that still doesn't mean that somewhere in the system there's not a "bot" (oh they don't exist, do they?) that would read you playing the game and sending a score more times than the allowed 3. Which would trigger a freezing for "cheating on flash games".

Hey, I'd go for it. I don't care too much about getting in trouble/frozen, though. I'm risky. So I'd go for it!

logically yes, you'd think that was true.. but past behaviour of tnt suggests otherwise. I wouldn't risk it if I were you DiscordantNote.

TNT has been known to freeze users for it, even though they got the RE

.
I wouldn't risk it.

Do it! What's there to be scared of? Most likely the people who got frozen were really cheaters, but pretended that they got the RE. Anyway, TNT has records of the REs players get (at least the more major ones, which contain specific user information, like yours).
