Need help with a few things in TiP (also: full house organisation)

[Kowz]

Picked up Trouble in Paradise again for the first time in a few months the other day and suddenly started getting into it once more, but there are a few things I needed to ask about.

My Xbox Live Gold subscription expires in a few days so I'd like to organise a time for some players here to get together for the Full-house achievement, even if it meant leaving your cursor idle for an hour. Also wondering about famous pinatas and whether anyone can help me with that achievement, even if it means sending something over and then sending it back again (although you'd have to trust me I guess).

Last thing was related to the Bark Bark in the game. Basically I got the appear scene after having a Kittyfloss in the garden, then after discovering he was blocked by a ruffian I gathered up four Buzzlegums to unblock him. Problem is, the unblock scene never played. I kept the Kittyfloss in the garden the entire time, even tried packing up both the Kittyfloss and the buzzlegums to another new garden and replaying the appear video from the Bark bark's information file. Would like to know if this has happened to anyone else and, if I'm unable to fix things, whether anybody would be willing to help me out by sending over a Bark bark in exchange for something else.

For those who help out - not sure what I can offer you since I'm a level 62 gardener and haven't unlocked too many things that are really worth that much, but I guess you could ask. I've unlocked all desert and arctic pinatas at least.

Thanks, hopefully will get a reply or two at least.

I'm not sure about the Bark Bark issue, but I'd gladly join you for the Full House achievement, you'd have to organize a time though!

[Rock]

I can do Full House.

[Doorstop]

I'll do Full House. Though, you'll have to set a date quickly, if you only have limited time left.

I'm thinking this Sunday (as in, tomorrow) 8PM Western Australian standard time. Which would be... 12pm Grenwich Mean Time? Something fairly early in the morning if you're in the states. My Gamertag is KOWBRAINZ, just make sure you send a private message to me saying who you are if you decide to add me.

If Sunday doesn't work, pretty much the same time any other day over the next week should be fine too.

[Doorstop]

Hmm, that would be 7 in the morning for me, I think. EST.

I could do it, but I'd prefer to know for sure if we are so I don't get up early for nothing. I'll send a FR.

I have Christmas break now, so I'm mostly free all this week anyway.

[Rock]

I'd be able to chip in at 12pm GMT tomorrow most probably, unless I end up going to church.

[Doorstop]

So, are we really sure about doing this tomorrow? It might be smarter to to do it a later date so there's more time to prepare.

[Kowz]

Well I don't know how many people are going to be on during the week is all, Sunday seemed like an easy day. But to be honest, I'll probably be on the same time each day over the following week too.

I'd really like to just do it today so there's no confusion, but if people aren't available I can wait I suppose.

[Kowz]

Just so people know, I'm online now and will probably stay on for the next few hours if you want to join. Just add KOWBRAINZ, send me a message then join the game if you can. Will probably set priveleges to limited so you'll probably just be looking at my garden for a minute or two before keeping the thing idle for the achievement, but whatever.

Just a suggestion, maybe start a new, specific garden for playing online, so if anything goes wrong nothing's horribly ruined except maybe some Pinatas. If you're playing with only the 3 of us, hopefully it's trustworthy. It's rather boring without privledges.

Also, when does your Live run out exactly? You could set a date on the very last day you have it and that would give more time to prepare.

[Kowz]

It runs out on Christmas day.

I do have an emergency "2-days-of-live" code which came with Trouble in Paradise but I really don't want to waste that unless I know I'm going to get something out of it.

On the subject of a new garden, yes, I've actually tried starting a new garden specifically for multiplayer with all of the golf acccessories and that kind of stuff... it's just unfortunate that Rare hasn't given many of the garden items properties which would benefit golf. The hollow log, for example, doesn't let you putt a sweet through the middle which is a bit of a shame. Sweets don't slow down when putted through long grass or sand either which is something that could have been a cool little addition.

[Doorstop]

Hmm, I thought that sand did slow it down...

But while this may be better for a private message, has Little Laurence and Weldar-Kazooie even got back to you about this? They haven't posted in this thread other than "Yeah I'll do it".
