Want to trade for an Oliver Twist?

I think this question needs to be moved to meta, because it’s a question only the mods can answer.

lloydbird's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central Maybe,I’m not sure. Can I get back to you?

incendiary_dan's avatar

I’m surprised that you apparently accomplished it and don’t connect the action with the award. It’s one of the more distinct ones, certainly.

Anyway, you definitely won’t get an answer publicly on why it’s awarded.

lloydbird's avatar

Should I feel empowered?

augustlan's avatar

We don’t reveal our ‘state secrets’ publicly, @lloydbird. Feel free to PM someone who has the award, and they might tell you. :)

Bigger question is why SOME Flutheronians seem to be Perfecto-Fish magnets, and they know who they are. :-P

You climbed the highest mountain and you swam the deepest sea, all while holding an egg on a spoon. At least that’s what I was doing when I got it.

lloydbird's avatar

Still waiting for an answer. And just whom should I “PM”? @augustlan.

augustlan's avatar

Anyone who has the award, silly. You can see if they have it by clicking on “awards” on their profile page. HINT: Don’t PM me, because I can’t remember all of the steps I had to take to get it anymore.

chyna's avatar

I have it, but have no idea how I got it. So if you find out how you got it, could you pm me and let me know?

@Hypocrisy_Central You only have 4 Perfecto-fish. How can you live with yourself?” : -)

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@lillycoyote I can because some people some of who wear Navy Speedos, have dozens, on donzens :-P

lillycoyote's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central You have an Oliver Twist and a Sunken Treasure and I don’t have either one of those so the shallow pursuit of Perfecto-fish is my consolation. Well, I don’t pursue them, I have earned them all honestly, fair and square. Not sure it’s something to be proud of though; they may be more the sign of a pathology than anything else.

Children.

Go play video games and win lots of prizes and awards.

I hear there’s a new Back to the Future pinball game out !

I think there should be a ” brownies in the frizzer award, after Coloma.
You will receive brownies in the frizzer when you exceed going off topic above and beyond the average jelly. hahaha

lillycoyote's avatar

@Coloma That’s a great idea. I might be a contender with that one.

Make sure you knit a sweater out of yarn for the poor squirrel trapped in the frizzer!

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@lillycoyote Trade you one Sunken Treasure and two Oliver Twist for your Jules Verne.

lillycoyote's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central I might consider that depending on which on you want. I have two Jules Vernes and one I earned honestly and one was from ragingloli’s 10k party, and I was third to arrive. I might give that one up. Though I would have to think hard about it. I like to earn my awards honestly, particulary awards that have no intrinsic value, like fluther awards. :-)

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@lillycoyote Don’t you know? The more badges you have and the faster you get them is the litmus test on how popular and well-liked you are. Plus it gives you bragging rights ;-P

dappled_leaves's avatar

I think I am more intrigued by the cake in the frizzer than any of the other ‘indistinct’ ones, since the people who are awarded it never seem to know why! I love a good mystery…

Berserker's avatar

@zen Hey you damnit, video games are awesome lol. So I’m playing this game, Dead nation and you get a silver trophy for killing 10,000 zombies. Gettin there.

Also we can’t say how to get any secret awards. I have that one, but I don’t remember anything about it.

augustlan's avatar

I remember at least some of the steps to get the Cake in the Frizzer award, and I’ll be happy to tell anyone what I remember. Only by PM, though.

lillycoyote's avatar

@augustlan Are you willing to cough up any clues about getting the Robot Crush? :- ) That one is killing me. Killing my brain. I can’t figure it out to save my life. Well, no, of course, I know you can’t, but there’s no crime in my trying to get you spill at least some of the beans; no crime in that at all.:-)

augustlan's avatar

Robot Crush isn’t attainable at the moment. It’s broken. Now you can relax. ;)

lillycoyote's avatar

@augustlan How long has it been broken?

augustlan's avatar

Quite a while, I’m afraid. Don’t beat me, please!

lillycoyote's avatar

@augustlan Quite a while??? I would never consider beating you but I am seriously considering a lawsuit of some kind! The mental anguish that I have endured! Oh the suffering I have endured trying to win the Robot Crush only to discover that the award is broken! There has to be some cause of action here! It couldn’t possibly be that I have not figured it out. It must be fluther’s fault!

Cruiser's avatar

IMO a mod giving tips by PM to win an award defeats the purpose…and diminishes the “value” of the award “earned” by jellies who attained it by sheer determination. Just saying! ;)

wilma's avatar

@lillycoyote I also have been perplexed by the robot crush. Now I find out it was all for naught! Ahh the time spent worrying over it, I’ll never get that back! ;)

Berserker's avatar

Got my silver trophy for killing 10,000 zombies. You get a gold one for killing 53,600 of them.

Gonna work on that. :D

lillycoyote's avatar

@wilma I think we might have the makings of a class action suit here. Damn fluther and it’s broken awards. You’re absolutely right: they have stolen time from us that we will never get back.

augustlan's avatar

@Cruiser Psh. It’s just some hints. :p

Cruiser's avatar

@augustlan OK but I found it just fine with no hints! ;)

augustlan's avatar

@Cruiser Me, too. But I think newer people don’t even know about some of those epic threads, you know?

Berserker's avatar

Dude, I got a trophy for setting 500 zombies on fire. :D

Cruiser's avatar

@augustlan Again…no one told me about…hinted about or even mentioned they existed. Not too hard to see the awards available and simple curiosity will bring you to the ultimate conclusion of a frizzer award! It was a fun adventure to say the least!

wilma's avatar

I’m still sad that I can’t get the robot crush….
