See the wiki for a review of the previous seasonsThe first regatta season ends this week, and next week will be a normal race. We should be able to use tokens next week too, on any wanted items. It appears that leftover tokens can be carried over from season to season, bearing in mind we can only hold 600 max. The next regatta season - MEDIEVAL CHIVALRY * Embark on a medieval regatta season beginning September 26! * Exchange tokens for custom decorations and special offers at the Yacht Club. * New seasonal tasks: fill train cars and plane holds - tip - don't do if you don't like planes & trains or don't do if you don't access your game very often throughout the day. as well as finding clay in the mine - tip don't take unless you have tons of picks - this task used up more than the normal mining task. After all the island & boat tasks from this season, I'm not so sure I'm looking to lots of trains & planes. Oh well, we'll see!

well the first thing I thought of was Deputy Dawg! Not sure if you had that in Germany. Or DD the Kid! I'm going with A Fistfull of Imps, a play on the film A Fistfull of Dollars, but for Pink, I'm not sure. It'll either be Wild Pink Hickok, which Yvonne suggested or Pistol Packing Pink. I also thought of Calamity Pink or Pink Calamity lol!

will consider Deputy Dawg, lol! and also LOL at Wild Pink Hickok! Calamity Imp seems to be the pendant, but A Fistfull of Imps sounds quite scaring, too!

New this season - Combo Tasks
Most people on the Playrix forum, aren't impressed with these, feeling that they request too much, for too little reward. A few do like them.
Are you happy with the way the taskboard is being managed at the moment? Are you seeing enough variety/able to choose tasks that you want to do easily?

I've seen one combo task described by Cathy as being good, and saw one on our task board yesterday which I could imagine as acceptable. So I left it on board. I'm not enthusiastic about them just because they are new (as the opinion at the forum seems to switch to, ) nor the contrary; Cathy said to "judge" them for feasibility and that is what I try. If I can't say what a higher lvl would think/say, I'd leave it on board.In my experience, all of you are online often enough for a "moving" board. would be interested as well to hear the opinion of others. p.s.: I myself am quite happy with the tasks I find in this season, the mine stuff with tnt and picks!

The mining combos seem to be popular at the moment. I just wonder how stock reserves will be in another 3 weeks.
And as long as the board is moving that's the main thing.
It is annoying that I can't see anything but the race, but no real biggie.

I know I am a newb to the co-op, but I thought I could throw my opinion in the ring. For one, I was very happy how you are dealing with the board, things were ever-changing, and lots of choices, I was never unable to select a task, and I always do 135s, so thank you for that. Two; I also do like the multitasks, I would say from the ones I looked at when they would come up, all were doable, but about 30% of the ones I observed would have taken a long time and probably best if done before bed (one had 14 or 15 bananas, another 2 planes, and another had lots of rubber to grow). So I would say maybe keep the 135 ones only, and if no one chooses it in a certain amount of time, dump it. Also, like DD above I really like all the mine tasks, I did a few of those, I send my trains off like a nut all the time, so when this regatta started I had almost 600 mining tools saved up, and somehow I still have 1/3 of that left, so bring on next weeks mining tasks! I really enjoy being in this co-op and really liked that you have a forum! This is great.

Hi Misty Thanks for joining in the discussion. It's always good to hear views, especially from newbs because we won't know likes/dislikes etc. If ever there are times, when you feel there isn't enough choice, or too many icky tasks on the board, do shout out. It seems to be pretty quiet on the US side of things, but ticking over nicely which is good. Glad you're enjoying being with us !

Babs, people are people, not robots. Please allow for mistakes, mind farts and fat finger syndrome. We've had over a year of racing with the view of dumping all low tasks, now we are changing that and trying to keep hold of one low task. It's a hard pattern to break, same as dumping a task that we wanted to take, or taking a task that we wanted to dump, so I think really it's just a matter of getting the best or most workable method in place. It's a hard habit to break especially when it's only for a few hours, once each week. It really isn't a big deal. Low tasks appear at least 4 times as often as the good tasks so more than one will pop up. If a good enough low one doesn't appear by the time we would normally start the race, then we wait. It doesn't matter if we start later than 2pm UTC just as long as we don't start too early. Being part of a team, is accepting that we all make mistakes.
