Well.. my Inferno chances have about come to the end..

[Adventurejimbob]

I have decided to forego my everlasting quest for that silly magic pin. I spent tireless hours waiting in line for Host game after Staff game, and either disconnect or win 100 credits! Knowing that the probability of winning Inferno from one of the Generator Games is 1/216, to start with, and to add in all the disconnections and crashing probably puts it at around 1/500.

The quests are absolutely ridiculous in my opinion, and just like the Green Car they make it so impossible for someone like me to be able to do it. Yes, I understand that the idea is to make it hard to get Inferno, but with the everlasting effect of the trade value going up and the horrible Host Games as the only other way, at this rate it is never going to happen.

Please note that this is not a plea to get Inferno, just me saying that it never will happen unless a Guest wins it in a Host Game and trades it to me, not knowing what it is worth.

Oh, and qruthie, please add me to your hat.

Trust me your time will come. I have been playing since beta and had the fortunate opportunity to win it in January during the Phinny's Make a Deal Game. I was at the point where it was next to impossible for me to win it. I had actually lost several games to another person who had the luxury of getting that prize. Ok - that infuriated me - because now I could taste it.

Well that night, I had to play a game against my friend, BriarLori. Well she has the fastest shoes in the house, so needless to say I lost, but pleased that a friend won the prize. That night I refused to give up. As you know that game was potluck as to what the prize would be. Got in line again, only to lose to again and the prize was inferno. I said to myself, the third time has to be mine - lol. Got in line again, and this time I finally won. Heart pounding outside my chest. I have to say the inferno gods were with me that night. If I lost a third inferno, the laptop would have been on the street. Sad that this is our quest for a virtual pin. But as a collector of pins, this was the ultimate in my collection.

Good Luck and your time will come.

I know exactly how you feel. I have come to the conclusion that I am no longer interested in owning that pin and if I get it, I will either give it to my kid and if she is not interested in it I will sell it back to vmk for whatever they will pay me for it. I no longer go to staff games (tired of competing against mules) and am not interested in trading everything I own for that one pin.


Just remember this: Life is to short and the world is to broad to focus on this one item that you will never be able to hold in your hand.

I think this is why I never made it into such a big deal. I see so many disappointed people with this pin...and ultimately it's just a computer graphic. My supposedly "must have" is the green flips, but I'm not going all out to make sure I get them. If I do, cool, if not, I shrug my shoulders. It makes the game WAY less frustrating that way.

I know how you feel! I have been playing every host game I can to try to get inferno and 2 days ago DH wins it! Oh well at least I get to see in on one of our computers! ROFL!

For some odd reason, I seem to be lucky with inferno. Please add your names to my post about winning a second inferno pin. I will be giving it away either through trade or as a gift. I'm trying to be fair so I will probably put names in a hat and pick a name and give that person the first chance at trading for the pin.

The good news is, I don't want green flips and I don't really care about beta stuff. I'm more interested in quest items - Pirates, Christmas and AK - and other stuff that is easier to get in the game. Stuff like a Space Mountain room code, Narnia teleporters, ice chairs (the ice cubes, not Narnia). I'm not going to ask for tons of stuff and clean out someone's inventory. That's just not my style.

Please don't give up on getting inferno, you could end up with mine!

In the meantime, I will continue to play the host quests (I LOVE solving puzzles). If by some fluke I get another inferno, I'll do the same thing with it.

LOL! My DH won inferno during the Halloween event and then has the NERVE to ask me, "what's inferno anyways?" GR!! Anyways, I am very much toying with the idea of logging into his account and stealing his inferno from him! Bad Pink!!

Inferno........................
It drives me nuts to see people with it! I've just given up!

 

[DementedRiku]

I think it comes when you least expect it. But it's good to keep trying at the host games! Most likely it will not come if you sit around in your guest room. But I would definetly play the game for the fun of it and eventually you will get the long desired inferno.

i dont know why people like inferno! i mean bat magic is wayyy cooler!

As disvaclub92 said. Your time will come. I have been playing since day 1 also. Finally got Inferno this week.

There are still others that have been on since day 1, that don't have it either. And many new players that have it. It is only by chance that anyone gets it. So keep hanging on.
