Govols, Adventurous Marianne hasn't been heard from since 24 September, I personally haven't heard from her since 21 September, and she hasn't been answering any PMs, all of which is so unlike her.  She'd been having lots of treatments for all her pain and I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.  But I sure am worrying. 

Govols2, Marianne was one of us Adventurous Fishies on BFG and now she hangs out on the Challengers site.  Another I know who's missing is GMum. 

From those I've seen, the site the most like the CCC is PondFriends with, I think, nearly 700 members and lots of exactly the same threads.  However, I also think it's pretty anti-BFG.  I'm sorry but I didn't know about your thread and so haven't visited there. 

I finished the bonus chapter of Phantasmat: Crucible Peak Collector's Edition,  While it wasn't a bad game, there was nothing really special about it either.  That's the last CE left from last year and my last ERS Game.  I doubt I'll be getting any more from them.

I started Laruaville.   I'm not sure what needs to be done to get the trophy for solving 10 puzzles.  I'm sure I've played more than 10, but I had to use a hint on one of the HO scenes.  Do I need to play 10 in a row without using a hint?

 

sunshinej, I downloaded the card game onto my Vista laptop and it worked fine.  I've already forgotten but I think there were 13 or 15 games.  Maybe more.  Boy do I have a memory  like a sieve.  Anyway, I won Go Fish (5 to 4, 2 and 2) and I also won War.  In Go Fish I played against a parrot, some other animal that I've already forgotten, and one human.  And I chose to have them all talk.  But boy am I cute!  If you want, you get to choose your facial structure, hair, skin tone, mouth, nose, eyebrows, glasses, blouse, voice, etc.  So have fun!

Wendy,  Welcome to the world of singing monsters!  (I could quit any time I want to!)  There are good suggestions in the forum,  plus  Wiki has an excellent resource,  with charts & pictures.  Without writing a novel,  let me suggest:  don't spend real money--you don't have to,  but you need a lot of patience.  The  "visit"  button lets you view other people's islands,  to get some ideas.  Very slow at first,  but your monsters earn you money;  they make more as you feed them to raise their levels. Don't spend diamonds;  they're hard to come by at first,  As soon as you can,  buy a  "mini-mine,"  it gives you a diamond every day.  Only one breeding station per island.  Ask anything you want,  and have fun.
