Seems interesting enough. I'll continue. I hope they have shirts my size.

Signed up. If you meet a ship from 17 Hills with a Captain Albert Alexander at the helm, that's me. (Still waiting for anyone to get the reference.....)

I wonder how this is gonna develop. I'm sure it's slow at the start as people try to figure things out, but here's to hoping it catches on.

Anyone else want to introduce themselves, so we can possibly support each other?

Yippee! Adrian Pellew from 17 Hills. My first instinct was to check Unforum to see if anybody else could help figure out how this was supposed to work.

Alright, it looks like 17 Hills has decent representation here!

I've started playing as well.

I'm in The Delta, and the game appears to be ramping up a bit.

Want to join my tribe? Click this link (otherwise you might end up in a different one): http://www.floatingcity.com/Register?id32=044c6854a5a7c7b6e94ac38524979987

See you there! (there's something I am trying to solve, come help!)

The trailer was pretty cool, guess I found something to pass the time now!

Matt Reneiw, of 17 Hills.

But I'll figure out how to play tomorrow, it's getting late.

Ariock Knight of 17 Hills here

So I've been playing for a couple weeks now, and the scoring is driving me spare.

here's a link to a google doc I've been working on.

If anyone can suss out the method behind this madness, I'll give you a dollar.

But it's making it nigh impossible to feel like anything I do in there matters.

Also playing this!

Don't be fooled by just the trading, there are clues to be solved as well Smile

Working on the Riddle - anyone got anywhere with this?

I am half-way between saying to h*&& with this game and just f*$^ing around. My team's score continues to plummet with neither rhyme nor reason. They'd supposedly "fixed" the scoring system, and it only seems to have made the problem accelerate.

Despite having been assured that dead weight on our team wasn't holding us back, the best analysis of the scoring system indicates that it damn well is. In addition, there was an indication that one method to advance score is to autotweet/autopost to FB every time you get an achievement or whatever in the game. There are dozens of these things. Imagine all your friends tweeting up your stream with info about how they're playing this game. I drop people if they start posting horoscope crap. I will not play like that.

But the scoring is a secret, so all of the above could be incorrect. Maybe it's the number of letters in the players' names. Perhaps only songs collected on the third Thursdays of the month. It's CalvinBall, but even as the rules are changing / being made up on the fly, the person in charge won't tell you what you're doing wrong.

On the other hand, my tribe is still trying. And apparently, me quitting will screw them over. So f*$^ you very much for that, too.

So I will continue on. I'll dance. but that whole trust thing is gone.


- ETA -
I just sent this to one of my teammates:
I wish I could say I'm not burned out, but I am. What I'm currently doing is more fun (and not by much) than trying random things in hope of having something stick. To me.

I can't understand how they can let the largest, most active, hardest working community in this game die.

and if they don't care, then I don't care about them.

But I care about you and the other folks in the Tribe. So I'm continuing.

I feel somewhat the same. It IS frustrating. So instead, I'm putting my focus in to solving the clues - don't wanna let you guys/teammates down.

So far we have the FILM image, the RIDDLE image and ALPHANUMERALS image which no one seems to have got very far with - these MUST be solved! Unfortunately most players don't seem to be gamers, just Dolby fans which makes this tough. Makes more sense to work here together.
