Yellow Ducks in Pet Society- How to get them?

How to get yellow ducks in Pet Society?

I found this set of instructions from Sonya to be very good and had spoken to her to allow me to do a short description then point to her thread at the Pet Society Forum.

This post is about how you can obtain the yellow ducks in Pet Society through gifting to a friend and have your friend gift it back to you.

What will you need?
1. You will need 250 coins
2. A trusted friend to get your yellow duck(s) gifted back to you. Please don’t exchange it with a friend that you add because of a game, unless of course you know that person can be trusted.
3. Follow the instructions of Sonya… What else?? ;-) Click here to go to the thread.


I am linking instead of posting the content here because Sonya maintains and updates that thread. Thus, I can’t keep it static.

Metal Detector Trophy - How to at Taj Mahal, 27 coins

Metal Detector Trophy - Hole 1, Taj Mahal (27 coins)

1. Aim slightly to the right of the three coins at maximum strength. The ball should hit all three, bounce off the wall and hit the next three coins. The ball might hit the one on the hill, but that’s ok if it doesn’t.



2. Make the ball roll down the hill (if it hasn’t already) but don’t aim for the hole. Zoom out so you can see the all of the Taj Mahal.



3. Aim full force towards the Taj Mahal, in between the building and the rightmost post (almost straight, slightly angled). Keep trying if it bounces off the post or rolls onto grass/off the marble floor or doesn’t make it at all.

4. There are four large coins inside (each worth five coins). Use very small force – 1 or 2 dots of the stem of the arrow, or none at all. BE CAREFUL with the one facing the red carpet/bird. I would do it last, because it might roll onto the carpet before you collected the other three.

Metal Detector Trophy - How to get this award?

Metal Detector Trophy in MiniGolf Party– How to get this award?

Contributed by Susanna Lapiuk.

There are a total of 213 coins from the 9 holes:

27 Taj Mahal
24 Beijing
35 Rome
17 Paris
12 New York
38 Egypt
20 London
31 Mexico
9 Moscow

General tips per Susanna:

1. Be patient – you have 50 shots to do each round and it took me MANY attempts before I got the trophy.

2. Be careful – most of the time it is better to use less strength/smaller shots (less than 1cm or 0.5 in.)

3. I recommend practicing Rome, Paris and Egypt as single holes first (they were the most difficult for me) or whichever hole you have problems with.

I'm going to organize this into 9 sub post, because the instructions plus pictures will make the post very long. I'm going to use this page as a main entry page to the rest of the course.

Metal Detector -

Hole 1, Taj Mahal (27 coins)

Hole 2, Beijing (24 coins)

Hole 3, Rome (35 coins)

Hole 4, Paris (17 coins)

Hole 5, New York (12 coins)

Hole 6, Egypt (38 coins)

Hole 7, London (20 coins)

Hole 8, Mexico (31 coins)

Hole 9, Moscow (9 coins)

Gaming Mouse - Which would you use?

This is the mouse I use. It's a gaming mouse, I had gotten some years back, I didn't get the high end ones. This is an older model X708, 800dpi, optical mouse. For those who are gaming frequently or play a lot of shooting games, well you may want to consider getting a gaming mouse instead. It boost higher resolution for better precision, has configurable mouse buttons where you can program to do say "double click" at the touch of one button.

This mouse allows you to:

1. Adjust double click speed
2. Re-program the mouse for a left handed (basically it's swap left and right button)
3. You can even configure and set your mouse with gaming commands. According the the manual that I have, it's sort of like you record the keystroke correspond to say a game that you commonly play. Manual showed the keystroke for Counter Strike. Like "ctrl" (Hunker down) and "R" for reload of bullets. (I didn't program for a game, but I used it for something more relevant to my work)

Later version of the mouse has better resolution. I had pick out those links for you to take a look.

Hasbro drops law suit over Scrabulous!

I had posted previously, about WordScraper as the "Second Life" of Scrabulous.

For those who followed Scrabulous, remember this message?

"Scrabulous is disabled for U.S. and Canadian users until further notice. If you would like to stay informed about developments in this matter, please click here."

The lawsuit was in July against the Agarwalla brothers, who developed Scrabulous and put it on Facebook Platform. Several changes were made since the lawsuit started, to distinguish itself from looking too alike to Hasbro’s Scrabble game.

According to a report by Associate Press

“RJ Softwares, the Agarwalla brothers' company, said in a statement that it has agreed not to use the term "Scrabulous" and made changes to different versions of the game it created after the lawsuit was filed.

The changes to the Wordscrapper application found on online networking site Facebook and games at Lexulous.com help distinguish them from Scrabble, RJ Softwares said.“

Guess this is great news to lovers of this game!

How to get healthy cash flow early in Metropolis?

Metropolis Gaming tips and tricks by Albert Koey, re-published with permission.

This set of tips is great for *NEW* mayors. To get started and starts to reel in CASH and to get your city growth going.

If you want to play the game ENTIRELY on your own strategy, then DO NOT read this post.

The game plan is to ensure your city has a healthy CASH FLOW and quickly get to 1500 Culture points so that you can start buying Landmarks.

Step 1:
With your initial $250K, buy 10x City Lots.

Step 2:
Whenever you are ONLINE, set your city’s TAX RATE to 40%. Before you go OFFLINE, set your city’s TAX RATE to 30% to 35%. If you login subsequently and find that your city’s happiness is in the RED, it that means you have to lower your TAX RATE by 2-3%. You may have to fine-tune a couple of times.

Step 3:
Whenever your city’s happiness drops close to 30% to 40%, post an ENTERTAINMENT request on the WALL. Again, please DO NOT SPAM! You may want to post a second request on the WALL. This time, ask for POPULATE. You will want your city to reach 1200.

Step 4:
Once you have $100K in cash, buy 10x Empty Lots.

Step 5:
Keep repeating step #3 and wait till you have $500K in cash. Now, buy 10x Houses. Your 10x Empty Lots will be consumed by the 10x Houses. At a Culture level of 10, you should have UNLOCK Playground and Park. Ignore these for the time-being.

Step 6:
Keep buying Houses until you reach a Culture level of 50. You will then be allowed to buy Horseman and Police Kiosk. Buy the Horseman twice to increase your Culture to 250. This level will UNLOCK Private School and Apartment Building.

Step 7:
Save up to buy 5x City Lots and 5x Private Schools. If your city has a population of 1200, your Education Index should be in the GREEN, increasing your revenue up to 20% more!

As long as your city population is below 2000, don’t worry about the Health and Crime index.

Step 9:
If your Education Index is not increasing your revenue by 20%, save up to buy more Private Schools, otherwise buy 10x Houses again.

Step 10:
When your Culture level has reached 350, sell off the 2x Horseman to reduce your UPKEEP cost to ZERO.

At this stage, your city should have a decent CASH FLOW. Congratulations! You will have to play on your own now. Good luck and have fun!
