  • Well, we are going to try this, anyway.  I have seen one person with the achievement, even though I dont see it in the encyclopedia. Worth a shot. We can have fun at the same time!

  • Scott, you buy a cubimal box at a toy vendor. They are 5000 currants.

  • @WhiteTiger: Wow, thanks for the list!

  • I want to thank LitaPie, SirPoox, Jia-pop, audiomodder, and everyone else who helped orchestrate this rather messy undertaking. Thanks also to people who hung around and made us laugh while we waited :) And no thanks to whoever stole all the bags (including two of mine) and Lita's feeders, and who knows what else.. it wasn't cool at all.

    And I have still have 2 spare piggy cubimals and 1 chick cubimal - just IM me and I'll send it to you :)

  • Wow, thanks for that great list...
    So if there are 24 cubimals, why does the bag only hold 16?

  • Thanks for the great party!  I am so glad to see that Achievements were made.  The trophy is so cute!

  • @Sharmy- somebody got me for two bags, too...
    Whoever decided to show up and jack stuff from people (including Lita's house): way to go. Everybody got together to have some fun and enjoy themselves while achieving something- and you screwed it up for people. Hope you're satisfied.

  • WOW I'm really upset this went down ....i really want this achievement so I'm sad that no one will be able to throw another party... :/

  • there was no need to hold this at a house, the stolen feeders were to be expected. you need to stow that stuff before letting anyone who asks into your house.

    that no one stole the cubimal bag using an ALT should be good enough to demonstrate the better side of the human spirit.

  • Stri, you were there for barely 30 seconds and did not show a supportive attitude during any of this so frankly, your opinions on the matter make no difference in this particular situation. The entire time I was working with others to straighten this out, you were complaining. Other people took note of this. And if you paid attention you would see that there is a separate thread in the forum addressing the issue of people stealing items. Your "opinions" might be better expressed in there with a revised tone because yours came off as inappropriate.

    By the way, I need you to send me a piece of mail confirming which cube was yours so that I can return it to you.

  • lita, i was there for 45 minutes.

    i was there for a good half hour after donating my cubimal, which, by the way, was my only rare.

    i had other people who had donated ultra-rare cubimal also express their frustration over the disorganization to me via IM.

    the fact that you think i was there for "30 seconds" when i was there for 45 minutes [which would have been longer if i hadn't cut my losses and left without getting the achievement] and that you can't even remember [or didn't write down] which cubimal i donated should be some indication as to how much consideration you show other people's time and effort.

    i remember someone saying something supportive of me after i expressed my confusion about while we were still trying to hold the party inside your after after we'd all [like, 20 of us] been auto-booted out of it twice due to your disconnections, to which you replied "he only donated one cubimal. it isn't a big deal." that cubimal was my only rare and it took me like 4 hours of work to get it. you're calling *me* rude?

  • I think that is harsh striatic. LitaPie was taken offguard by the turnout and did a LOT of work to get it all organized and give enveryone a chance to get the achievement. She got kicked off the system twice. People kept racing and rolling dice and causing the system to lag. She and the other folks who were managing the actual process were rather busy! Meanwhile, someone was stealing her stuff.

    I waited patiently for a couple of hours before my turn. But I got to know a lot of new-to-me Glitchians and even though it was a long wait, it was certainly worth it.

  • more like there was a lot of work put into papering the game world with leaflets promoting the party, and next to no effort in organizing it.

    i understand the problem with lagging and people getting booted but then why continue to insist that the party be held inside her house. the argument was "there's more control in here" but then all the bags and feeders got stolen anyway.

    also, why were there a ton of bags on the floor? we were all instructed to free up inventory slots to receive the bags with the cubimals. then there was half an hour, at least, of chaos, during which time someone stole bags. people really only needed to drop their bags one at a time for like 30 seconds while holding the cubimals for the achievement. this was totally avoidable.

  • striatic, you know what, we did our best. Having never had cubimals in game, and having no clue what it was going to entail.......its a learning curve. If you can't handle that our imperfections in trying to help everyone get an achievement......on our time, on our effort, then dont come!

    Im so sorry you wasted 45 minutes......but, you have no clue what you are talking about. It took way more than 30 seconds per person.  Each cubimal had to be moved out the bags they received, in to their inventory to be recognized, then back into the cubimal bag.  23 cubimals had to go through this, per person.

    I spent 150k currants yesterday trying to get the rares ones FOR OTHERS to use.  I didnt give a flip about me.  On top of that, I bought food and drinks. I spent hours trying to organize, make forum posts, and fliers, to help the community. We spent 5.5 hrs last night HELPING OTHERS!  This was not done for selfish reasons, but to HELP THE COMMUNITY!

    If you think you can do this better, have at it next time.  *rollseyes*

  • Striatic, I'm sorry that you had so many issues with the party, and I came in a little late to miss the mess of things being stolen, but I think we should all just calm down. It was a learning experience for all of us, and we did now figure out a way to keep it more organized if anybody were to attempt it again.

    I can see a reason for both having it on the streets and in a house. In the end, I'll have to say the house was a right choice, though now we realize the issue with having so many people there at once. I think either way, we would have had issues with people snatching dropped items, and we've all learned now to try to keep it a minimum, putting down items we really need.

    I woke up this morning to just quickly check the game, and I realized there were issues yesterday with putting things in slots., Even during the game, there were moments where slots in bags were empty but the bags said they were full, as with the cubimal bag that was being used. This isn't a thing that anybody could help, but I do believe it may have caused issues yesterday, because a number of you, when I was IMing with you guys, mentioned you guys had issues putting things in empty slots. A good part of the time was used on trying to individually solve confusion that none of us could really help, but in the end, we did get through to the end of the list, so I would call it a success.

    Notes were taken on how to speed up the process for another time, and there's snothing that says another party can't be thrown. In fact, I'd love to help out more people at some other time, if anybody else was still willing to help, even though I've already got the achievement.

    Can I just mention that I arrived at the party as a guest and ended up helping out the entire four and a half hours it took to make it through the list? And I am not mad. I'm tired, but I'm VERY  happy that so many people could be helped out, and I'm sorry for anybody who had issues. If anybody was at the party and still had trouble getting their trophy, we think we figured out the reason, also associated with the confusion above, and items not fully responding, so IM me and I'll try to personally see that you get your trophy. I'd just like to thank everybody, whether you guys are happy or upset about this, for making a memorable, and very interesting night. Thank you also to those who helped organize this. It really wasn't necessary, because it's a game, it's an achievement that only shows up on your personal trophy case, and the game will eventually be reset, but for the time being, we can be proud that we have the achievements and proud of the work it took.

    Thank you Lita, for letting us into your house, thank you Audio and Innie for helping to control the chaos, thanks Squorble for creating a very useful spreadsheet that helped us through the night, and thanks for everybody who hung around, helping to explain the process to everybody else, and just providing their company. A very special thanks to everybody who lent their cubimals, especially the rare ones that were needed.

    Btw, Striatic, if you let us know which was the cubimal that you lent, we'll quickly return it. We do still appreciate you lending it to us. Same for everybody else, if you haven't done so already. Thanks again to all of you!

    Oh, and for whoever stole the bags? If it was an accident, and you would like to return anything anonymously (at least to the other players), contact me. If you really did come by to steal stuff? Screw you.

  • We should make it clear (if it hasn't been mentioned already) that there are only 23 cubimals. There is NO "Bandit" cubimal. The Juju cubimal IS the bandit.
    There was a bit of stress caused last night because of the confusion that they were separate cubes.

    Jia-pop, I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence :D

  • One more thing! Everybody who stepped foot in that house? Be proud! Achievement or not, we are now cubimal MASTERS for knowing and getting to see them all! Congrats to everybody!

    fair enough.

    the bags only had to be on the ground one player at a time for 2 to 3 minutes each.

    oh wait, that doesn't include unloading. 5 minutes then. the problem i'm describing isn't that tho, it was bags from multiple players being on the ground all at once for extended periods.

  • That problem will not happen again.  We know now how to prevent such issues.
    Posted 15 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If anyone else wants to discuss the stealing issue, it might be best to take it out of the thread. This thread is in regards to the cubimal party and, at this point, getting them back to those who were kind enough to donate. That's why I made another thread - to open up a discussion on stealing, etc. because after last night I knew it had to be discussed.

    For those who were there and did not leave, thank you for being patient and understanding with the issues on my end that complicated this, e.g. getting booted because 40+ people in my home caused serious lag (as well as dice-rolling and cubimal racing, which we all know causes lag) and made my computer freeze. Contrary to popular belief I actually had a cubimal list with the owners marked, but as a result of my computer freezing, I lost it half-way through the party. I can't begin to stress how terribly sorry I am for all the inconvenience this has caused some individuals. I was not anticipating over 40 individuals showing up to my house and as all of us should know, overcrowding at any location always causes technical issues.

    Just as a reminder, I have all of your cubimals in my possession - they are safe and sound - and I am awaiting letters from you to confirm which cubimal belongs to who so that I can have them returned to you expediently. I announced it a few times in-party, and also in Global Chat, and also posted as a status update on my profile page. ^_^

  • Striatic, don't you get tired of being so negative all the time?  I've been to PLENTY of parties that were completely disorganized (don't want to say names to hurt any feelings) but I never did the "Ba humbug this sucks" attitude, I just spent my time trying to help organize and have fun and chat with other people.  And if you didn't want to stay, you could leave at any time.  

    Complaining about being there for 45 minutes just makes you look like an idiot, cause you were the one that stayed the entire time.  You have been offered your cubimal back, get over the QQ and bitching about everything and move on.
