I'm hoping loads more dolls to fall as we are seriously overdue a (promissed) update to the game with new levels and all.
Magic Ramp on WD Anyone have tips on getting the magic ramp to form after the 9th shot on WD? Or else is this pure luck?
Great Job, Bill! The ragdoll gods are smiling on you. I spent the night on SOF as well, going for 9. Got the stalk to fall 10 times tonight... Every time to the right! Doh! Won't go to Vegas tonight. Maybe I should just try for the 8 instead.
You have no idea how big a grin I have having read this. Well done Bill. I remember you saying you would quit at 249 lol lol lol
Bill and SoF8 and second and sweet Yeah that's what tickles me. Bill, you've been so close to packin it up, look at you now. Third spot tied for second, sweet.
Thank you. In all fairness, I was serious about quitting then. But while I was trying to get there someone discovered the 2 doll shave in Breakthrough, then RC, Jump Around, Quintesson and one or two more. The new shaves allowed me to get to 245 without having to do some of the levels that were making me want to quit. Once I hit 244 I had to join the 239 club. It practically cost me my marriage but I made it. Now all there is to do is the find the magic ramp in WD again, or win the lottery with SO...or find something new.
Aim top right, one shot then aim outside the wheel for second shot, don't let the second shot go in the wheel, then one shot on the wheel after it settled in the gap. That's worked for me most times
Finally broke into top 100 on leaderboard. Man is it getting hard to shave dolls. I don't see how the top 25 haven't thrown a phone or iPod out s window.
They were talking about the magic ramp. When the cannon is on top of the third stack of pillows sometimes you can fire only one shot at the wheel and it drops all the way to form the ramp without another shot being fired. That's the way way to get the 16 or 17. I have seen it twice at two different shot locations and it doesn't happen very often.
RB1 reset OK yeah I know.. wrong forum but Hey X I don't have your phone number?... this is interesting though...the score re-submit thing is now working again on RB1! It hasn't for some time. (from Oz at least) Thus you should be able to reclaim your No1 spot. ;-)
Space Oddity Check out this screenshot. Took almost half an hour to reach this point. I can't understand how the ring is still intact. The doll and the two balls advanced slowly for another few minutes before the target came flying back into the screen. All the gray balls were gone, leaving just the target floating around the screen. Oh, ragdoll gods, why do you taunt me?
Something for Everyone to Try. This may or may not ever be a doll shave. If you shoot at the aiming spot in the screen caps below and get the doll to land in the exact position depicted it will push the bale off the ledge. The doll won't always fall off though. It's about 50-50. You can get the doll in that position every 5 minutes or so and it only takes about 10 minutes for it to push the bale off so it's not a big time waster. In the second screen cap you can see the path the doll takes practically every time. It doesn't look like it's far enough out there to get wacked back to the target. However, a few minutes ago I was typing while waiting and when I heard the crash of the bale hitting the wacker I looked over and the doll was even with ther vertical cross hair as it was leaving the bottom of the screen. That's plenty far enough but most of the time as the bale tips over the doll falls right after it and that's not enough time for the wacker to turn around and hit it. The head of the doll falls towards the ledge. If it partially goes over and stops, 9 times out of 10 it ends up crawling back to the left. I have had it hesitate and then fall but it still falls too far away from the wacker. I suppose it could hit its head where I have the red "X" but that would be like another Big Dipper. The doll needs to be in that position because the arm sticking down keeps it up so it can continue pushing until the bale falls. If it's in another position it usually pushes it a bit and then stops. It can also push all the little blocks and the big bale off but if the wacker manages to hit a block onto the target area it would prevent the doll from having a chance. I got the wacker to hit a small block pretty good while it was falling in the same path the doll falls. It hit the front edge of the target ledge pretty hard but it fall back. I'll keep trying this and I'll keep everyone posted.
I wonder how many of us, while laying on our deathbeds, will think, "why did I waste so many goddamned hours of my life trying for an 8 on SoF?" Right before picking up our iPhone and trying for that last shave...
There's hope! I think it can happen. The wacker has hit the doll twice today. This wasn't as close as it looked. All it has to do is get the rest of the way onto the ledge. It's slippery as ice.
