How connected are you in pet society?

How many connection you have in pet society? Are you like me who never scroll to the end for a while? Have you ever wonder?

It could determine how much daily pocket money you have in this game. Provided you have the time to visit all. LOL.

Given that:
1. The first 50 friends = 20 coins per visit.
2. The next 25 friends = 10 coins per visit.
3. The rest of the friends = 5 coins per visit.

This is only friends visit, not inclusive of the extra coins that you could receive while making the pets happy and clean, especially those pets with happiness and hygiene bar empty.

I was just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling today. Anyone wants to make a wild guess how many connections I have as of today 4th Jan 2009? Locking to this date because I have friends add request almost everyday.

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 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)

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!

Playfish :Pet Society Betting Tip and Tick or System

Conclusion of the test:
Ok, Finally, after the comments and numerous test that the rest and myself personally tried and tested. (Look at the comments given.) I’m going to conclude that the suggested betting method works well only if you have infinite amount of $ and no limit on the betting amount.

Using this method on Pet Society (PS), DOES NOT gives you 100% success rate because there is a betting limit of $500 coins in PS. What this means is that you will loose what ever you have previously made and more on one lousy bad luck day.

Although this test fails, you may still read on and see what we did and if anyone tells you that there is a surefire way of winning … Well you know better. As for those who think that lady luck is with you always, you are free to try. I had issued my warning..:> So what’s next you may asked, hmm, looks like we are going to loose money anyway on betting, go for something you can afford, 5 coins per bet till you get your trophy. No easy way out for the time being.

This test is about not loosing your bet $ and looking for a way to do so. IT IS NOT ABOUT MAKING $ FROM BETTING.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial post:

A lot of us are wondering how to win in pet society betting at the stadium. Jason L post a comment in one of the pet society coins and paw points post and I did a trial and tested it. It work "so far", and I enhanced it with some observation noticed during those test races.

Ok, currently (28 Nov 2008) we do have a 2 users who mentioned that this didn't work for them. I have to say this post is still waiting for "dare to try", "loaded with $ to try" and willing testers to give their opinion on the propose betting method. (Hopefully, those who have enough coins to test, I don't want newbies to lose their coins.)

As such, I think I have to put in something like a "caveat emptor clause" for this post. Caveat Emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware." The idea that buyers take responsibility for the condition of the items they purchase and should examine. Whist you are not actually buying :> Please be aware that I'm not sure what's the probablity of winning and losing for a max of 7 consecutive bet. None the less, this betting game in the stadium is STILL a game of chance rather skill. We are just trying to "improve" our chance of success.

For those who loss coins because of this post, I'm sorry. I'm still testing this as well, and "so far" it work for me.


How to win betting in pet society?

Note: I started with 2582 coins.

First start with 5 coin. Result of this bet -> Loss



Bet round 2, now you bet with 10 coins (5x2). Result of this bet -> Loss



Bet round 3, now you bet with 20 coins (10x2). Result of this bet -> Loss



Bet round 4, now you bet with 40 coins (20x2). Results of this bet -> WIN
Ending with 2587 coins, which is 5 coins more then what we start with!



AFTER EACH ROUND OF WINNING, please restart your coins to 5 again.



Started with 2587 and reset my betting to 5 coins. Loss this bet.


Second round of betting used 10 coins and I win in this round. Ending coins of 2592 (5 coin more!)


So, you see the concept works!
However, there are additional things that I had observed.

1. You NEED to bet on the same lane till you get a win. DO NOT switch lane in between bets, remain in that lane until you get a win in that round.

2. I also noticed that lane 1 (The one closes to you.) seemed to have more banana peels (obstacles) then lane 2 or 3.

3. Pet seemed a little retarded as well on lane 1, it tends to trip more. (I still need to observe more, had not gone down to counting the number of fall yet.)

4. Lane 3 have slightly lesser obstacles then lane 1. Lane 2 looks the best, usually has the least banana peel.

5. Betting multiplication table:

1st round - 5 coins
2nd round -10 coins
3rd round - 20 coins
4th round - 40 coins
5th round - 80 coins
6th round - 160 coins
7th round - 320 Coins (Max the next double down is 640 coins, but the bet limit is 500 coins.)

Please we need comments from testers of this post, to help all of us to figure out what is the chance of loosing 7 rounds. (Real Bad Luck Day!)

Playfish : Pet Society, Hurdle Race Tips Part 2

Trick 4: First of all, do you know how hard it is to take these banana screen shots. Arrh! I had to do stretching with my fingers... (meaning to hold down Alt, Ctrl and the PrtSc key all at the same time to grab the pic while controlling the mouse with the other??!!)

Ok I'm not sure how well you can see the wordings or if it turns out well on your screen. In any case I'm going to do a simple summary. See banana peel - Just CLICK on them, don't jump. Why? Cos it's faster and you may get coins at times.

Banana Peel Advance



This is about when to click on the banana peel and when not to click.

In picture 1, I would go ahead and click because the other 2 pets are ahead of me.

In picture 2. I will not click, look carefully, there is another pet right beside me, I will leave the peel there to slow the other pet down. Get it? :> Strategize to maximize your coin harvest and chance in winning the race .... !

Playfish : Mini Golf Party Review

Ever played minigolf or wacky golf before? You have guess it, Playfish have come out with it’s 6th title MiniGolf Party. You can be rest assured of aesthetically pleasing beta release games. This by far the best release, quite unlike Bowling Buddies where you practice the skill and keep on practicing to get it right to win the award and Pet Society where wash and rinse the steps to get the coins.



In MiniGolf Party, you can choose different playing objectives. E.g. To get the maximum coins in each course and complete it. Or to get the least par for each course. Well, are you rubbing you hands and waiting to get started? Let’s go golfing!



In my first try out of the game I manage to complete the entire nine course and had gotten 2 awards from it. One for completing the course without giving up on any hole, another, ahem erm it’s for dropping the golf balls into water for 5 times. Actually, I did it on purpose, I really really want to hit the alligator and see if it would snap at the golf ball, seriously. :)

Direction and “power” of the shot is control by the mouse. (E.g. Long arrow line more power, shorter arrow line lesser power.) There’s a total of nine course right now with each course taking after popular city names like London, Moscow, Beijing, Rome just to name a few.

The game allows you to play all nine holes or to practice a particular hole individually. Good for perfecting the shots and test out the different ways of playing a course. Moscow is the most challenging course for me because of it’s rocket drop shot where you need to be precise to get the golf ball into the hole or it will bounce off the moon crater because of the force. Oh, by the way, I’ve found out that the maximum number of strokes in a course is 50. As usual... nothing new, I have tested it.



There’s a total of 16 different awards for this game, and I had manage to unearth 3 so far with 2 rounds of 9 hole game. Hey, I manage a par 3 on a par 5 course, cool right. You will love this game if you like a little challenge in terms of skills. Best of all you do not have to pay fees or have a handicap before you get into the greens, neither do you need expensive golfing gears ;>. I’ll share my gaming experience later. I need some time to gather my materials and thoughts.
