Not getting sword pin???

[gshawen]

I have one mule that seems to get magic pins atleast every other time through but hardly ever pulls the sword. Another mule hardly ever gets the magic but when it does, the sword just pulls right out. My main could'nt buy a magic pin if his life depended on it. I just wish the magic pin was tradeable because I would load up on the Casey pins. lol

I think i might agree about the Casey Pin. We (my DH) and I have won eacvh of the pins...Tea party and Casey jr on ...and we did within the first day of riding all day! Well we have been riding all day the last two days and gotten lots of magic pins but not strong enough to pull the sword! I even got two Casey's ones on Thursday! Which I gave one to my son Goofy as he hadn't gotten one yet! So hummmmm not alot to Casey pins during the ride-a-thon!! But diffinitly getting lots of wall hedges!!

Hey, a while ago I got he pop-up message about winning a sword pin, but it didn't appear in the pin inventory. I thought well maybe it's just the lag and the pin will show up soon, that was over an hour ago and still no pin.

Why did they give me the message but not the pin?


edited: I still didn't get the pin but a hour and 20 minutes later in the middle of a ride, I got a popup telling me I didn't have the strength to pull the sword. I didn't even get the sword in the first place.

i myself have gotten 1 sword in the stone single use magic pin.

Just to update on my magic pin situation, I have now received 78 magic pins, all DUDS!! Why, Why me????

 

[VMKaddict]

My daughter has gone through the rides 38 times without one sword pin. Is this happening to everyone else?

.......Seriously?

Is it possible that you had a pin you already used but never got a message for? That's what happened with me. I had a pin, used it about almost four hours ago. Three hours after I used it, I got a message saying I got the pin. A few minutes after that, got another message saying I wasn't strong enough to pull it up.

Twenty seven rides today and have only managed to get one magic pin. I haven't used it yet. But, no doubt, it's probably another dud. lol

Well, it seems like I haven't gotten many magic pins in the past few days, but I did make up for it this afternoon. I decided to try my pins again about twenty minutes ago, and lo and behold there were six that I hadn't yet gotten the messages for.
Well two of them gave me the new pin back to back. Everyone in the room wanted to try their's next to see if I brought them luck!
Who knows? just keep trying and trying and trying....and so on.

I think that they probably limited the chances of getting sword pins for the weekend because so many people would be riding for the ride-a-thon. Just a guess.

 

[PirateBell]

Well so far I haven't gotten any of the sword pins... maybe better luck later??? But come to think of it haven't used my ones from yeterday? Hummmm

 

[Taytorjo]

I haven't gotten any pin so far today (and I have checked my pin inventory to double check)! I've been on both rides and probably rode around 30 times. Yesterday and the day before I kept a chart of how often I got a pin, didn't really matter, though because I only got two each day! Those pins came somewhere around every 27+ rides! And yes, unfortunately they were all duds.

I don't know if that's necessarily the case...I've gotten more pins this weekend than I have all week.

Now I am getting kind of worried that VMK isn't making up for the lack of Tea Party Pins given out. It seems like just about every other person has gotten one today (which is awesome, because now every one of my characters has one, lol). I just hope that the value of them will remain somewhat good, considering I think there are more of them out there then the Tea Party pin. And a big CONGRATS! to everyone who has gotten the new pin during this ride a thon!

 

[rickyratsmom]

79 Duds oh my. On the bright side I am now the proud owner of 60 toxics hairball rugs, 100 short hedge walls and 45 long hedge walls....Sheesh!

Good grief, if only Casey Jr was as easy for me to get as was my Tea Party pin. I rode the rides a total of 9 times and received 3 magic pins when Tea Party was still being given out...on the third magic pin, I got the Tea Party pin. I have now been on the rides several hundred times this past week...with approximately 20 magic pins...and zero Casey Jrs in my possession. I think VMK saw my ease in getting Tea Party and put some sort of red flag on my account regarding Casey Jr.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

77 rides today and only 2 magic pins. Both were duds. I think everyone else is getting my pins.

FINALLY got a Casey Jr pin tonight...about 15 minutes ago. Now I can live again.
