Bizarre - i usually get one alert then find around 10-20 posts. Wonder if its one alert per day or something daft like that ??

At least it's working for the moment. Now why don't you solve the mystery as to why Duke keeps coming to see me but he's out of stock on the stuff I usually buy. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now.

I'm game for a small items blue launch tomorrow.

I have had sporadic issues getting the alert emails as well. Sometimes I get an email for each post, sometimes for one post only to find several replies in the thread.

Just a speculation: The stated reason for creating Area 51 was to take pressure off email bandwidth out of the forums. So maybe the frequency of notifications for these threads is a function of how much other email traffic is being generated by the forums. If there's a lot of other traffic then the notifications get throttled back. Less traffic would mean more notifications.

Ok I'm back in 3hrs 38 mins and ready to join a Blue Launch

 

[Mark carson]

Can I ask why do some have two oil refinerys and is that an advantage do you build 2-3-4 of them

As another level I see adds another 30 on too am I right

As level 1 added 25

The simple answer I assume is that people just need fuel. The large refinery adds 30 fuel capacity for 10 greens. The 3rd stage of the small refinery costs 2 million coins and it also adds 30 capacity.

I'm pretty sure you can only have one small and one large.

Some of us are back in 5 hours and I'll contribute to the small launch when I get ho e from work. Just to confirm no items can be used larger than 24 points right?

 

[Mark carson]

My oil cost is 35 greens do might save and buy that one

 

[Mark carson]

Hi I'm back ready you join a Blue so not starting one in case

Small Item Special!! Blue on Pad!!

Our objective is to use up small items only: Small Fuel Tank (6 points / 30 Minutes); Additional Stabilizer (12 points / 2 Hours); Explosive Bolt (24 points / 4 hours); and Solid Fuel (12 points / 2 hours). Continue contributing throughout the day until we get to 2,000 points.

 

[Mark carson]

Oops I used a 120 but won't add big points now just small ones now @Phil G

 

[Robobobo888]

I'll see y'all on the launch pad in another hour!

An additional benefit of a slow launch like this is that it gets us back into synch.

 

[PhactorPhil]

Oops I used a 120 but won't add big points now just small ones now @Phil G

Mark, you've added 216 to the launch. You should only have 54:

6 points Small Fuel Tank
12 points Additional Stabilizer
24 points Explosive Bolt
12 points Solid Fuel

216 - 54 = 162

120 Main Stabilizer
40 Large Fuel Tank
2 Liquid Fuel

Please be careful and enjoy the spirit of this mission: To use only small point items.

A stranger and non-forum member attempted to hijack our small items special and has been booted. We're now at 1,298 of 2,000.

 

[Mark carson]

I know Phil I didn't see the forum post that's why I added points to a launch without knowing I have already posted that

Now I've seen it I'll add small points

I am not getting notifications of watched threads so not always online to read messages

I don't like that the forum isn't relating all messaged I've got your message now but not the threads previous 5 messages

i use LINE chat Skype or messenger much easier seeing messages

 

[Mark carson]

If you want to boot me off its ok

But I was in the game so didn't know about a low input ratio Launch

I'm not always in the forum and I'm not seeing some threads

 

[Davescharf]

I'll check in about 5 hours to see if we are on the pad still. Hopefully I'll catch up with you guys after work
