what do you think about funpickle's ability to extract GNG?

A Musicblock GNG is a kind of Musicblock. It can only be found by playing with the Special Item That Only Beta Testers Get. Whether this is a rare drop, or a one-time event is unknown. It is rumored that you may get more than one, but it hasn't been substantiated.

was anybody lucky enough to extract GNG more than once?

and how many times you had to procrustinate your pickle to get the first GNG?

  • To get a GNG from a funpickle, there are no set amount of times to do it. All you need to do is trigger all the effects possible from the Special Item That Only Beta Testers Get. This will immediately award the GNG musicblock.

    I believe staff has also confirmed that it is one GNG/Funpickle. So if you get a GNG from a funpickle, trading it to another player and allowing them to play with it will not give them the GNG. If you want another GNG, you need to get another funpickle that has not given the player a GNG.

  • I think the last time there was a thread like this, a few people said they'd managed to get more than one out of a pickle, and it was hypothesized it was one GNG per player per pickle. But I could be wrong.

    Hmmm. I thought staff had said it was GNG per person, not per pickle?

    Can you give me a link to the staff words about GNG per pickle or per person?

  • No link because it was said in chats but I've clarified with a few different staff members that it's definitely just one GNG per pickle not per person. Period. I keep asking hoping to get a different answer but they seem pretty definite about it.

    but times change, so let us hope pickle will be able to give more GNGs

  • Okay, just asked again - 

    Feb 6 10:08:26AM               glum pudding  "we don't know" would be the official answer, because we really and truly don't.

  • i feel that i can safely say with a very, very high degree of confidence that with the number of times i have played with my pickle, if it was possible to get a 2nd GNG, it would have happened by now.  i also believe that staff have clarified this point in the past, but couldn't point to a forum link or anything.

  • I play with my pickle every gameday about 50 times and still not extracted GNG, though I did it almost a real month. So should I go back and stop playing?
    The time comes and my gng come to me, the first as well as the second he he

  • I wish I had a funpickle.

    I've heard mixed information. Some people I know claim to have gotten their GNG from a secondhand pickle which had already given one. But I'm not sure how reliable that information is.

  • Don't know if this is a informational thread, or what.

  • There won't be any real answer to this until a programmer tells us how it works.  The reason I am quoted above as saying "we don't know" is that the pickle's behavior seems to have changed over time, and that may be due to differing design choices or to bugs.

  • In a group forum that I belong to it has been stated that the funpickle can produce another GNG block if lent, given etc to another player. So, it may be that only one GNG per player. But what do I know :-)

  • RT, it's not the actions you do to the pickle or how many times you play with the pickle, it's getting all the effects from the pickle that triggers the GNG drop (as ChooJeremy originally said).

    Per the Wiki, here's the list of Pickle Effects:
    - "Comedian" buff, which makes the next thing the player says in Local Chat "the funniest thing [the player] has ever said".
    - 5 random items are taken from the player's inventory and flung across the street.
    - The player has a sneezing fit, sneezing beans for a minute.
    - Teleportation to a seemingly random and faraway street.
    - The Special Item emits a Wilhelm scream.
    Moonwalk buff, which plays music and makes you perform the Moonwalk dancing technique.

    It is only after the pickle has done all these things to you that you will get your GNG block.  Some had all these things done to them in the first few times of using their pickle.  Others, like me, had to use their pickle for over a month or longer before all the effects were randomly bestowed. 

    And as Breezy Meadow said, some in one of our private groups have mentioned that giving/gifting/trading/loaning/selling their pickle to another player, has resulted in that person getting a GNG block from the pickle.  It appears that the GNG block reward may be per player; however, it could be/have been a bug (possibly unintended).

  • Is it getting all of the effects, or all of the effects from each of the possible menu-interactions? (i.e., getting Comedian, Scream, TP, Moonwalk, Sneezing, Throwing Items from Procrastinate AND from Adore AND from ... etc.)

  • I wish I could remember how I got my second GNG. I totally think I got it from a tree, but thought nothing of it and sold em both long time ago.

  • I got three from my pickle. But I got all three within a couple of months of getting the pickle. I wish I had held on to them.

  • Scarlett, as soon as you have experienced all of the effects once, regardless of which action you used, you're awarded the GNG.
