I've been caught up with trying to get the promised mobile update completed (extremely time consuming), and haven't been able to tackle other bugs and issues as fast as I would like. However, in between that I have managed to get these things done:

1. I've overhauled the back end of the helter skelter. The hope is that this'll stop people getting kicked off half way down!
2. The daily pet update has been moved significantly closer to the daily turn over.
3. There was a bug with trying to use surveillance a second time if you had a pet. This has been fixed. Further to this your pet will now learn more smarts from a successful use of surveillance than an unsuccessful one.
4. Pets will now learn smarts from a successful use of the research skill. The hope is that this change and the previous one will make it easier for a pet to gain smarts points.
5. In light of the delay between espionage uses, the espionage nemesis task now just needs two uses of espionage to be a success.
6. Pets can now be groomed on the ship.
7. Various typo fixes. For example, there is now a full stop on the final screen of the roller coaster when outside of a Furore. Doesn't just reading that make you feel less stressed out?

The not so drug induced bug report.( I hope)

I was in London when I received my furore ticket. Traveled on the seaplane to the boardwalk.
Deposited an item with Johnny so I could waste my hard earned cash on cotton candy.
Went to ride my pony on the carousel and found myself at the login page.
Logged back in and checked to see if I received my rings. No problem with that.
Went to chat at the fountain for a little while.
Collected my item, and went to the gate.
Boarded the seaplane, and ended up being welcomed to the Battery Boardwalk.
I could not then get back on the Seaplane, I had to go through the gates to NY.

I'm pretty sure that is yet another gremlin playing at the boardwalk.

I had a problem in my last furore - I couldn't do any trades with one player. That little pop up window that's supposed to show what clues the player wants didn't open properly - I couldn't see the clues. All offers from him were like that and I wasn't able to do any trades at all with him. I could trade with the bots normally.
Same thing happened before but today I noticed that all offers from only one player were broken.

When the clues have been redistributed and I get a clue, should they be clues that I don't already have? I picked up 3 clues that I already had and not ones that I didn't have

It's perfectly possible to pick up repeats Dream. All that means is that someone else needed the clues you picked up.

Ok that's good then, I wanted to check it wasn't a bug

I was in chat ready for the 4am furore when it got down to 30 sec i thought it was odd that no one else was there. I typed in chat box and nothing came up. I clicked on a tab and got booted to the log in screen, by the time i logged in the furore had started and i had missed it. Im not at all happy having waited 2.5 hours for this furore to start.

What a pain for you, Dreamcatcher. Me and Lagertha were both there in pre-chat but couldn't see your name there. Your name did appear as a player in the game though (on the case 'grid'), but obviously it stayed blank. Hope this glitch gets fixed for you soon : )

Hi Dream, sorry that happened to you! It sounds like you had a temporary disconnection, and the chat doesn't have the functionality at the moment to automatically reconnect you.

HOWEVER, if this happens again and you miss the start you should be able to ride the horses yourself on the Carousel to get your first clue.

Do you have to figure out what horse you need to ride, or once you click on ride the carousel you will automatically be put on a horse?

I think you can just pick any horse and it'll be fine.
