    Yeah, I struggled with it for a while, but there's a petpage guide that explains it step by step with screenies... I guess it's /~Forbodes. But if you still have trouble and need some help, feel free to pm me :)

    It's a little tricky to get your head around at first. After that it's easy enough, especially if you make all three poles join up into one pole. The only thing I had trouble on was getting them to go through the right door when there were two or more of the same coloured door.

    Another rather simple step though, with all achievements unlocked. TNT did say there will be a prize shop at the end, so perhaps points awarded are judged on achievements. Who knows though.

    Is there any good technique, or is it just keep trying until you get the poles where you want them to be?

    Well, I'm not sure if it's considered a good technique, but what I've done was to work my way from the top floor to the bottom, merging those two at the upper levels and then taking them to the bottom to merge with the last one.
    I'm not sure if this makes sense, but it worked for me...

    It worked for me. took a while, and I hear many other people have had good success with it too.

    Note: NOT my work!!!

    Junior, I dont think you have to do the steps in a certain time limit
    so no rush to do them.
    you can still do the first plot step xD

    According to the editorial...

    So they're basically saying we have to do the steps fast if we want the top prizes

    ^^ Well that sucks because I was away when it was released so DAMN!

    I did manage to complete it though. first shot, all achievements.. It probably took 30mins though :pI think 25 of those were working out WTF I was doing. Surprisingly easy once you understand it.

    So I guess no major prize for me this year :(

    that is actually the exact opposite of what they are saying, day of completely is NOT AT ALL REQUIRED for top prizes...

    Yeah, but I wander how many people will get Top Prize.
    20,000 total users online
    only half of them bothering with plot
    and then, half of that will only do the first step.
    So 5000 people
    then take out a 1000 of people quitting after a while.
    4000 left.
    then subtract 2000 for people not getting all the way to the top,
    or iced or whatever

    So maybe 2000 people will get the top prize
    agree/disagree?

    20000 isn't at a peak time, at peak times it gets to 35,000 and its not always the same people on every day

    besides its going to be on a point system, many people will have the opportunity of top prizes, it just depends if its any good or not
