[Not bug, misunderstanding] Firefly Quest Completed Prematurely

I quickly dipped into the game this evening, (well, you have too once you see it's unexpectedly open, don't you...) and was immediately given the firefly quest. IIRC, the quest was to fill a jar (seven fireflies). I tried for a little while, and got up to six, but I don't believe I ever got beyond that.

Anyway, I then stopped playing for a little while and just returned briefly to the game now (it's time for bed really, but I just thought I'd take a quick look around...) and was greeted by the cock crowing announcing the new day - the calendar presumably ticked over whilst I was away.

In the new day summary screen, it announced that I had completed a quest during the previous day - the firefly quest. Now, I'm pretty sure I didn't complete this quest, or at least if I did, it was far from obvious to me at the time. (I've currently got five in the jar)

  • The firefly quest is to swallow the whistle, it has nothing to do with filling the jar as far as I have experienced.

  • Ah that might explain it, I freely confess that I was only half paying attention here - I was just opportunistically popping into the newly opened game for a few minutes, and I was busy doing other things at the same time.

    So, on entry to the game, the rock popped up a message about fireflies and gave me a jar, muttering something about filling it, I'm sure. I mentally noted that as a quest - fill the firefly jar - but I didn't actually check that there was anything new in the quest log. I just went off searching for fireflies instead.

    Later, when the new day dawned, that would be the first 'new day' screen I'd seen since the previous test, and when it mentioned my completing a firefly quest, I immediately assumed that it was about collecting fireflies. I didn't consider that it might be referring to collecting the whistle - that was nearly a week ago, I did that right at the end of the last test.

    OK, I'm a bozo. Sorry for the false alarm.
