ROFL Fi ... your poor hubby looks SO enthused Well I now officially have enough offliners to play to keep me busy for at least the next couple of days ... huge thanks to you, Becky & Doris y'all really are the GREATEST I don't care what anyone says 'bout cha . I'm poppin on frequently so don't mind me ... just tossin Karma 's to those that have kept my sanity intact . But hey while I'm here ... Does anyone know if it's possible to play offline TOO much before uploading your times to the server From my rough guestament I've played enough so far to raise me at least 3 stars and pushing 4, since MTE went down. I'm still backing up and will make a final back up when/if MTE ever goes back online, just as a precaution. When I played before ... sheesh that's been almost 2 years back ... under Rebel.Luvr, I played alot offline then too and never had a problem ... HOWEVER I didn't play THIS MUCH offline before uploading my points & times to the server. My players filer and times file both keep increasing so I know I'm safe NOW ... just wondered if anyone knows if there IS such as thing as TOO MUCH offline playing before uploading. Last thing I need is to crash BFG's server (Rose would disown me ) AND my game. Thanks in advance to anyone that might know the answers to this or might have done it and had problems. to all and keep Love -- Connie

Hi Connie For so far I know you can play endless, when BF is online you can register the points. I remember a guy that register 10 stars in one time. So hun you can play, but save your fingers..... ;D

Awesome Mieke ... thanks so much sweetie ... I was getting worried I was clicking towards a crash I HAVE taken a break for a few hours to give my poor clicker a rest LOL ... hand seems to get a bit cramped after 6 or 7 hours of straight clicking ... not to mention times really start to stink when ya can't move your clicker finger properly ;D Karma hug to ya dear for letting me know I'm *safe*

Connie - hes lookn that way this week - hes on holiday so i got lots for him to help catch up on but he loves it when i windm up bout it - coz he just grins from ear to ear & Mieke is right - it dosnt matter how much you play offline the server will pick it all up. I played my Spazzazz player up 10 stars at a time (earlier this year) before logging up - was a dormant player id had just sitting around on me puter that i wanted to get out the way - the current player im playing is another old dormant 1 i started - after running Spazzazz up i pulled this player out & it wasnt anywhere near Rarified & the only time its ever been online is wen i created it & iv run a few stars up on that 1 so far & i will wait until the 'Hype' wen Mte comes back on to settle before i log it up to see where its at - so y'l be just fine Will be interesting to see if theres been any or much data loss on Bfgs side of things when it does come back on tho - me 100 unbumped lo's mite not even exist on the launch screen when its back up - will just have to wait & see Also - Further to the fire - Big Fish Games coming back online Following up on yesterday's breaking news that Big Fish Games was down due to a server fire, parts of the site are now coming back online. The Download Games and Online Games sections of the site are back up, but the Games Community and Forums sections still appear to be down. EDIT July 4 3:19 pm PST - It looks like the forums are back up. We're still unable to access the Community Games section. EDIT July 5 8:08 am PST - The Community Games section is back up. Posted on Jul 5, 2009, 10:09am Big Fish Games down due to fire Big Fish Games has been down all morning due to a fire that broke out at Fisher Plaza, the largest data center in Seattle. Posting on GameBoomers.com, Big Fish Games Founder Paul Thelen said that power was out to the whole building and urged fans to be patient. "The building is under several feet of water and they will not tell us when it will restore power," Thelen said. "We are in process of transferring all our data to our backup datacenter, but that is a 12 to 18 hour process as we have thousands of servers and massive databases of info to transfer. "Fisher plaza is the hosting facility for hundreds of companies, so this is a major Internet disruption." We'll keep you posted on any new developments. Posted on Jul 3, 2009, 10:24am All - Fi

Dear Fi... thank you for keeping us posted on BFG. It is getting depressing, as our fingers want to keep on clicking but there is not much to click. Fortunately with the layouts received from some of our kind friends (LOL) we have managed to survive. Let us know of any new developments, as believe me we are al waiting in awe.

It's back, but it's not right. Tried to launch, lo's went from 2500 to 500 after bumping. Checked out other lo's, and everything seems to be worth 500 points. Could it be because there are over 10,000 people on-line, and we are overwhelming them?

I just launched three (test) and they went fine... Of course I am not a deft launcher like you guys, but I hope this means that things are improving. Kisses

Its very bizarre - just did a trial 1 & it bumped to 500 yet on the launch screen it at 10,000, then wen ya try pull it into the game it 500. Tried it with both versions - different players - same result
Im back & OMG i do not 'get' this at all
I went offline & tried an old file in me launching players game - all dropped to 500
i tried it in me completed Spazzazz player - all dropped to 500
then i tried it in the player im currently playing that has only been on line wen i created it & which i booted into the game online this morn just long enough for it to load then exited a couple of seconds later - & wen i tried it in this player its a normal offline file - iv never launched with this player & its been online all of a minute - if that - throughout its whole existence & is now sitting at 587 in the star ranks - so its climbed ok as well
I dont think im guna log that player up again until the games workn properly coz right now its the only player iv got that i know i can play offline with, without it dropping the point level
Now i guess - we etha gota wait & see wot happens with our usual players bumping via Mte or we gota work out wot damage we need to fix in our players created by the Bfg fire, Have read the post on lo's dropping to 500 but didnt pick up on anything in it that would help - have tried old player folders etc & none of thm of any help at all

I DON'T think the problem with los not being worth 10K is because too many people are on line. I think that they still don't have their system runninig correctly. This is something they should have checked before going back on line. If your mechanic gave you back your car after servicing it with it still having this much left to be done you would be upset. I am sure that is how you feel now.

Hey guys.....I agree with Duaine and his comment about the "mechanic gave you back your car after servicing it with it still having this much left to be done you would be upset" This is almost more torture than the fire outage..........like showing kids candy and saying "none until next week" ..........hopefully this will be resolved real soon!

Well, of all times for me to be out of town when you NEED someone local to be monitoring the local news. What can I say I lit the match and ran on vacation ;D Honestly, I hope all is better soon for everyone.
