The Bonus X EB is repeatable? Are you sure about that?
Thats wrong. May Zaphod77 talk about the wheel EB...
The Bonus X EB is repeatable? Are you sure about that?
Does Bob only get lit by lighting the wheel, (by increasing bonusX by shooting bridge out)? What about that lane behind Red, at about 1 o'clock, when does that do it? Sometimes I shoot that lane and hear "let's visit Bob", and other times I shoot it and I hear "let's get a souvenir".
Can I only get a wheel award (at Bob or at Blast hole) by shooting bridge out, ie after increasing bonusX? Are bonusX and the wheel tied together then? And are souvenirs only available from skill shots? No, because sometimes Bob offers them for sale as well.
All very fundamental I know, but I couldn't find the answer in the rules.
The lane behind Red lights Bob to collect a souvenir when its orange arrow is lit, and I think during modes also... which is any time Bob's is not lit (?)
Thank you. What confuses me is that sometimes I shoot the orange light and light up Bob's but then I hit Bob and don't get either a souvenir or a wheel award.
Rulesheet said:Going from right to left, the colors always rotate in the same order: white, orange, yellow. ... The currently flashing mode is always one of the next two cities on the map (going from right to left), so your first mode is either New York (white) or Miami (orange) -- the rightmost 2 cities on the map. This means that you can never play two modes of the same color in a row. The exception to this rule is the West Coast cities - you can reach any of the three cities on the coast.
Thanks, v.e.! So you've started RS... I'm curious what you come up with.
I don't see stages of gameplay like Maggie says. Why light all the cities, does that or the "Wow" screen do anything? I don't see it; visited cities are not enough bonus to matter compared to the souvenirs. Really the only reason to progress through cities is to reach Super Payday for the wheel EBs.
I currently have a game paused overnight, with 200B scored and the fully multiplied bonus at 9B. I stopped collecting souvenirs as I wasn't sure if RS can handle bonus over 10B, but looking back through Tarek's comments here, it looks like it can, so will push more tonight after work.
I think I'll stop at 900B rather than try to challenge Tarek at 993B and risk rolling over past the trillion.
Please pardon me if I misunderstand, but you need a city to get bonus points for its souvenir. Your comment reads like you're saying that the first WOW is not worthwhile, when it certainly is... after that, it's worthless other than the possible easter egg Tarek mentions (which I didn't know about, so thanks Tarek).Why light all the cities, does that or the "Wow" screen do anything?

Your bonus of 9B at 200B score seems low to me... I maxed around 6.7B at 61B.
Give your strategy for going for souvenirs vs. Super Payday, please?![]()
And when you go for Bonus X? Or do you constantly have Hold Bonus... it seems like you would have well over a wheel per ball (I was at about 0.4 wheels / ball in my high game.)
(one of these days I'm gonna tie you "infinite" guys down and make you give an actual definition of that term).
