Is it me or are most of the stealings start at the top of the hour and then slow down?

No idea... :/

"There's already furniture there
Someone has already placed furniture there! Try another spot."
Aaargh, I've been waiting for that spot for 10 mins! T.T Why'd I have to pick a bench?!

How long does it take a stolen item space to reset? (I was waiting for a table space to reset, then accidently clicked a little bit above where I was supposed to click, which happened to be an open scroll rack space and well... now I'm locked out)

Not sure, but I think I heard around 5 mins? Your lockout will be about 30 mins.

Could it be possible that you happened to place your furniture there right when the lines were being redrawn for that space?

maybe TNT figured out that people were just clicking on the smeared spots and waiting for them to become unsmeared and now they're making it harder.....they want to drag out this torture till next friday.

This is wrong. Here's a repost from an old thread: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 802#467802

When something is stolen, it goes blury, and the spot is unavailable for a certain amount of time. After that time is up, though, it doesn't immediately go unblury. It will become solid again when someone does a furniture-placing move** on it.

If you know this trick, you can know to try some of the blurry ones, because there's a chance they're actually open, they just don't say it. I've gotten lots of benches and even a few tables this way.

** A furniture-placing move is when you click on the spot you're on or one of the 4 spots next to you. If you have furniture, it will try to place it there, if not, it still counts as a "furniture-placing move"


Edit: There is one bug about this, though: if you make a line solid, it doesn't immediately show up on your map. When you make any other move, though, it will. So if you're trying to place furniture on a blurry spot, here's the rule: If it gives you the "somebody's stolen" message, it's still closed, but if it just reloads the page without doing anything, it actually made the line solid, and you can hurry up and put your furniture there!

Just placed my 60th item. 15 of each. I still hope that the tables and benches are worth more, if they are worth anything at all. I do the racks because they are so much easier. But all of them seem to be getting harder to place now.

Ooh, I see! Thanks for the trick! I wanna try that now! lol

You can go back to the tent and ditch the piece you have, and get a different piece of furniture.

Just a tip for anyone who has Dial-up (like me)

I never wait for the picture to load, I just navigate using the maps and have my mouse in the right spot so that as soon as the pointer turns to a hand I click. It's much faster because the only time you have to wait for the picture is when you are not sure where to go next

No, it's okay, I managed to place the bench in the end. I just got locked out because I thought I was carrying a rack but was really carrying a lamp. -.-" stupid memory...

Actually, that's a good tip even for people on fast modems. I have DSL and I use it all the time. Sometimes I even click before the page loads, and it still works anyway

Actually, that increases the chance of a lockout since the pointer turns to a hand even on the wrong spaces.

True, but not once you get used to it.

I've memorised the entire path from the entrance to the first floor stairs and I never put a click wrong. I've had to, because of my slow dial-up...

also if you click once, even on the wrong spot when you have furniture, it doesn't automatically place it. you have to click it twice (at least, that's how it is for me). i travel through blurry spots all the time this way, makes the journey a lot faster.
