Damn. Is it just me or has booty grab been getting a little more fail lately?

Wanna give me tips?

I think it's actually b/c the dolphin tanks are slowly dying off. I'm noticing less and less of them. We were really spoiled with them I guess.

Try Airshark tanks or Stone Coartels(sp?)?
I always get a lot of gold off of them.

I get 1.5k at best, and 800s at my worse.
It's not the type of fish, that's for sure, it's how to locate tanks :0

Any tank that has fish worth up to 2mil is enough for me.
On a sidenote, I never really knew, how much do red/green/blue coins give you... How much are they worth?

For me, it's time of day. The more people playing BG = the worse I do, the more nerfs I get, stuff like that. I do best late morning and late night.

Of course, it's hell to try to fill a glow at those times, but you can't have everything.

Enlighten me. Only one person can booty grab a tank at a time?
How does this even work?

Nah it's not one person, but they do have a limit because of the.. lag it causes? bandwidth? something like that.

No, this is just a correlation, not a causation.

I do markedly better on the same tanks when there aren't as many people on Gaia playing Booty Grab. I don't know why, but it seems as if the more people are playing, the more difficult it is with respect to more nerfs and fewer buffs, the more lag there is (which is the only part of this which makes sense). It's a trend rather than a rule, because I do sometimes do spectacularly during prime time and have suck grabs when it's dead. But that's not the way it usually goes.

I keep wondering if they have some kind of variable odds generator for the nerfs and buffs that keeps an eye on the number of BG games being played at the same time and adjusts accordingly.

But I'll never know and they'll probably never tell.
