Holy shit! Those bots are wicked. I'm not allowed to play with them anymore. Shocked

I helped them test the beta for this one, and it's so much nicer now that it's finally launched. A simple fun game, for everyone, basically. Nothing too complicated, and very addictive. I love the bots, they are VERY realistic. And as for those phone calls, it says on the FAQ that they do not work from outside the UK, so if you live in the US (as I do), just let them know you can't make the call, and they'll do it for you and tell you the next day what happened. I've heard that the phone system remembers your number and calls you back though, which is probably really scary...

I've just come across a bit of a bug.

I'm on day not sure which (the one where you hack into an email account). After we were logged off the email account, I couldn't talk to Greta any longer on the messenger - her answers wouldn't show up. When I try to reopen messenger, she asks me to do the hacking thing again but if I try to, it says the account is no longer active (ie I can't get back into the email).

Sigh.

So I'm in a bit of ARG limbo. Can't progress forward...can't finish what I'm supposed to do. Very frustrating.

Just tell her you sent it to her e-mail. She'll ask what mail you sent it too, you'll tell her, and there you go.

Still can't see anything in the messenger window...it's as if the bot starts trying to say something, then the program freezes...the textbox area just goes grey (no pen icon, etc).

I've tried telling the info you've suggested...not sure if the bot has replied or not as I can't see anything...guess all I can do is wait & see what happens?

epiphany, did you get an email from them today with the next mission?
Usually, if you dont finish a mission, they'll send you an email to go back into chat and retry.

Well, I finally finished, and I feel a bit sad... I wanted a reward for saving his ass!

*I bet he was at his ol' Aunt Mable's all the time* Wink

Yep & I tried to retry but I had the same problem. Sigh. I'm wondering if I should start again?

You could try emailing the tech people and see if they can help? I had a problem with this mission too, but I just said that i'd sent Greta the emails and then the game carried on.

Ended up emailing the tech guys because nothing was working. Their reply was as follows (just in case anyone else has this problem in the future):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sorry about this sometimes this game gets caught in a loop. The best
thing to do is relaunch the Greta chat and then type in:

jennyiscool12

(that's 'jenny is cool' and the number 12 all in one word) it should
trigger the end of the chat and you'll receive the next update.

Let me know if that doesn't work


Worked like a charm.

You might want to spoilerise that.
