Sponsor games?
Tue Aug 15, 2006 8:30 am
I was transferring a pet to my side account, but I'm so poor over there I needed to play at least one game in order to be able to pay the fee to adopt the pet. XD
I found a sponsor game in the Action section called How to Eat Fried Worms: Wormsicles (something like that...I'm not sure whether to be amused that they're making that book into a movie, or surprised that it took them this long to do it) that I'd never seen before. It's sort of like Simon...it gives you a list of ingredients for a "womsicle" and you have to choose each item from the bottom list. Upon starting the game I realized you can easily make a lot of NP by playing it...the scoring ratio is 1:1 and it gives you an ever-increasing bonus with each wormsicle you make in addition to the points you get. oO After three combinations I had 600+ points. You only get one chance to mess up, though, and I have a bad memory so I died.
But I'd made more than enough NP to transfer my pet.
I figured the game was just new and I hadn't been paying attention or something, so I looked for it when I went back to my main account. But it wasn't there. I asked my friend, who's had her account for less time than me and has a lot less money than I do...and it's on her games list as well. So my question is...are their certain games only available to people with new(ish - I say this because my friend's account is eight months old...my side account is only a month old) or low on NP (she has something around 18k, I only had like 16 at the time)?
*hopes she didn't confuse anyone with her babbling* And please forgive me if this is a completely dumb question...even though I've been playing for six years, there's still a LOT I don't know. >>

Did you sign up to your accounts under different countries? Because I live in New Zealand but changed my country to USA so all the sponsor games showed up for me, certain games only show up for certain countries, because really there is no point advertising a product (which is the point of a sponsor game) to people that live in a country that don't even sell that brand or product, so try changing your country on your main account to the USA or something 
Just as a note too, you shouldn't be using your side account to gain any NP even if it is just a little amount, it could get your frozen (although it is minor), espically if you continuously do it. Best thing to do would of been to play the game on your main account, then transfer the NP over to your side account through a trade or shop or something

Ahhh! Yes, that's probably it. My main account says Japan (it was for created for an RP way back when and all the characters were Japanese, at the time I didn't expect it to become my main account...I've actually been meaning to change that), but my friend and my side account both say US.
*rolls eyes at herself* I didn't think about that. I know playing games on a side account is a freezable offense, but my brain is apparently mush and I didn't think of the TP or other methods. But I never use that account at all (this was the first time I'd played a game there and will very likely be the last), so I'm not too worried.
Thank you!
