Operation Dumbo

[newzealander]

Ok I moved to New York. Great coffee here.

[derekville]

I never really been jobless without doing anything else before but it is great. I watched an entire Bruce Willis movie from when he had hair, cooked a three course meal, massaged the wife on a weekday!

One thing I noticed unless it is my failing eyesight is that if you look at the biz in the home town after a checkin flurry, it will go up there.

[fleetwood]

Okay. I'll move back to NYC. Been in SF for the last 24 hours. Was trying to help someone and was finding NY and Washington was a little too close to provide decent franchise pay outs.

And Derek enjoy it while it lasts. Plenty would say that being a stay-at-home parent is full time work especially with a little one.

This is so weird- I have the business in both my towns.

I had to re-check the pop and check-ins and it was really that low. (pop 22 and checkins 67). I think because it was the original business that was bought in the Booyah store and I kept it in my storage and then put in one of my gateway towns.

I opened it this morning and pop- 1117 and checkins were 684.

I deleted it and went to Raven's town and re-franchised it since most people got it from her.

Now- pop is 1531 and check-ins are 540 ? Why the heck would the amount of checkins be lower??

I don't think we will ever figure this out!!!

[gwen]

My elephant is at 1539 popularity at 924 check-ins.

[derekville]

fleetwood, sole charge of the boy is very tiring, but with two of us here it is much easier because I can read him his book while his mother puts his socks and shoes on. If there was just one of us, he would play the 'you better run' game and it would be a nightmare!

But me and kiwi were just saying to each other it is getting more challenging as they get older.

If Ams is the person with the original, I suggest we visit her town and just check the stats on it to see if there are any changes after doing a blitz.

[Raven]

Ams - just went to check wsecd business and my stats are 1027 with 540 checkins.

[derekville]

Trivia of the day is that tiki is actually a Maori (NZ native people) word although it is used throughout Polynesia. The other main Polynesian words in English are taboo and tattoo.

I just looked at it in your town, Raven, and it is 2.1k.

[Raven]

Derek you did see where Ams deleted original business and re franchised from me right?

[derekville]

Oh, ok. Clear.

Another idea might be to discretely send a mass pm to everyone on the forum directing them to the event page except Alex from Booyah, but that could be considered an abuse of mod authority.

I think probably a lot of forum members look at the board and think... What the hell are they carrying on about hobbits for?

[vaing3]

Ok doing hundreds of WSECD and also some as always on RHoS

I'll blitz WSECD for a week Tuesday through Monday next week

Done....

[derekville]

WSECD has now passed RHoS. 2.8 k. But still no-one franchises the damn thing.

That people of Walmart is pretty funny. We have a similar type of shop here so I was in there explaining to my wife what a feral inbred is, and who should say hello to us but our obstetrician!

[newzealander]

So I am still tapping WSECD?? I have it at 1335 pop with 903 check ins.

A real greenstone tiki should never be bought by the wearer - it should be gifted with a string attached because it is presented to the wearer with the intention that one day it will be returned to the tribe it came from.

[Amstel Bear Hugs]

1546 in Amstel

[Precious]

WSECD is at 1607 in Precious's town.

Getting lot's of squirrels when I check in.

[Raven]

Precious! Don't you dare start chasing all those squirrels! Lol

[derekville]

2000 odd in my town.

Didn't have much time today cos the wife had a dentist appointment and we had to go for an adventure before the rain hit. I tried to persuade her to wait until next time we go to Indonesia - even with the flight factored in it would probably be cheaper for a root canal than here.

[Raven]

2821 in raven crest !!!

[derekville]

I have to say I am surprised that multiple tappers helping out doesn't seem to do much. I did basically the same thing to RHoS by myself. It was about this level Kiwi started to help, maybe a little lower, 2.5?

Are people checking the original in Raven Crest after a blitz? That seemed to make a difference, but who knows.

it is the boy's bath time now.

[newzealander]

Still only 1478 in my town. Why so different, I wonder?

Yup, Derek - RHoS is pretty much where it was when I started helping you with the tapping. It's on 2660 for me, and I think it was about 2.5k then. We are only just maintaining it.
