  • It's real-time minutes, and you don't have to keep from crashing, just don't die.  (At least when I got it I had gone into No-no crash a couple of times.) There are a few old threads on the forum that say it can be done with two flaps; I think I used four.  What's happening after your five flaps, and how many real-time minutes are they lasting you?  Maybe something's bugged. :(

    (These don't show by default in the search results because of their age, which makes them kind of hard to find--I'm not sure that's a good feature for the forum search.)

  • I unintentionally got it with two flaps...I intended to use just one, and let the crash begin, fully intending to go to Hell One. But, just as the last of my energy was draining I thought "what the heck, few more chunks of ore" and did the second flap. And behold, Chasing the Dragon - partway through the second rush.

  • Oh, I though you had to keep from crashing for 11 minutes, which can also be done.

    The first no-no flap has a duration of 6 minutes for both rush and crash.  Each one after that is half, (so 3 minutes, 1.5 minutes, 45 seconds, etc.)

    If you are allow to crash between then just use four flaps, activating each one after the crash begins.  I used four flaps and a stopwatch, activating each one a few seconds before my rush ended.

  • This badge requires 5 flaps of No-No powder.
    I run this group:   http://www.glitch.com/groups/RA9T2A13GHG2PLU/
    And posted a nice How-To a while back:

    Hope it helps.  :)

  • @Nerd: Perfect! Thanks so much. I had ran into Lady Snow earlier and we talked about how to do this. I had missed a couple of times myself. I used an online stopwatch and your time intervals from the post you linked and got it on the first try. Thanks for your help man!

  • You can do it with fewer flaps if you cross into the new day while still rushing since it resets you no no counter for the day.

    I did it in 3 flaps.

  • This is what I did to catch the dragon:
    ● Right-clicked the clock at the taskbar to bring up the adjust date/time window
    ● Opened a blank notepad
    ● Restored-down my browser window and arranged it so that I could see the time area of the date and time properties window, see the upper left area of the blank notepad, as well as be able to click on my no-no powder flaps in my browser
    ● Clicked the first no-no flap when the time changed to ##:#0:00
    ● Record time on notepad, e.g. 10:40:00
    ● Add 6 minutes to the time and record, e.g. 10:46:00.
    ● Add 3 minutes to the time and record, e.g. 10:49:00.
    ● Add 1 minute and 30 seconds to the time and record, e.g. 10:50:30
    ● Add 45 seconds to the time and record, e.g. 10:51:15
    ● Now all you have to do is click the no-no flap once the time arrives for you to hit it. Five flaps of no-no powder later and you will have your badge.

  • thanks all for the responses, i kept the rush up for nearly 12 minutes last night but still no badge, my friend used one flap of no-no, then another just when her crash started and she got the badge. i will try one more time this evening and if i dont get it i will presume that Lady Snow just is not meant to have this achievement!! :-)

  • and i will let the crash run for a bit rather than trying to keep the rush up (which i obviously minsinterpreted the badge text)

  • checked my achievements and found out that I have this badge. But I tried only two flaps of no-no. and the second time I used it during no-no powder crash and it did not work.

  • I guess three flaps wasn't enough since I tried it and hit the next flap once I got to crashing, I thought you were supposed to keep it up for 11 minutes, so I figured the crash meant I messed up.

  • Crashing doesn't matter. It's *surviving* for 11 minutes that counts.

    I got it accidentally the very first time I used no-no, so it can't be very hard.
