I lost 6-7 hours and 3 hours of that is in fever time since I had to go out
And....still 4k left before I can do the 3rd SHE...plus lack of cruz
Looks like I had to collect them all for a while then

I won't trust anyone except for my trusted event mates anymore, I hate a certain person on my current list. I tried to add them because at that time they had really high LF, first I got enough other mates, but after I finished my first prince, I forgot to delete the request I sent to them, their LF was just a bit high at that point and now... They stopped playing. My second lesson from events...

[member=6080]tssf[/member] I feel you :(

I kinda got into the habit of checking how often my emates play and well one hasn't logged for 15 hours now

I fear for the worst.

On a side note.... there's that blocking mechanism now... I haven't used it yet, wondering how it really works. Maybe it could help avoid such unreliable people in the future?

I know exactly what you mean! While I don't have the habit of checking when others log in, i do check for progress for my event mates. I just like to see people making progress, they don't have to make huge leaps, just use their stamina and I'm happy about the flow of LF. I made a mistake for the first event of this type where I accepted mates early and ended up with someone who I thought was the worst mate, I had to deal with them taking up a space the whole time and giving me nothing in return, by the end of the event they had 10 days since their last log in...

Well, now I am there again. Just a bit different this time... I hate myself for sending this lazy ... a request. They had really high LF at that time, so I thought they would at least keep playing, when I added them they were second on my mates ranking, now they are the last! I don't care how about who's first or last as long as people keep playing, but they obviously aren't. 2 days, it's been 2 days since they decided to grace me with their presence! I'm blocking this player now. I wish there was a way to report them and kick them from the list... That's why it's better to find the same mates each event - someone you can rely on, sure, sometimes you will have higher LF, at other times they will and you will feel sorry about not being able to help them more, but the constant flow of LF is the only reliable progress you can count on. I'd accept someone near my LF anytime over some idiot with high LF who ends up disappearing...

Have you been sending Talk Posts or something? I usually do that to make sure they're still playing. If they did have high LF at one point, there are always circumstances which delay that.

Even if it boils me to see someone who has not made it over 5K by the end of an event, I try to stay pessimistic and assume that the reason was because s/he got in a crippling car accident for playing while driving. Or had a recurrence of cancer and had to be hospitalized, and wouldn't that make you feel just awful~ Perhaps a close relative died in front of her/him, and s/he was inconsolable enough to stop playing temporarily.

Two days is small fries when I know how it's like to want to play during an event, yet only have spotty wifi for thirty minutes every couple days to a week while in a ~~damn third-world~~ different country for a month. Ah, how horrid that month was~

I always check progress each emates, and delete request I sent once I know their LF is not higher enough than I thought
I want to know, what happened if you block certain people during event? Did their LF also stop to contribute in event? or your team LF decrease? I'm always afraid if I banned people during event this happened

My progress looks smooth this time. Got 1 mate which got 50k and I also got good LF...though yesterday I've been out almost half day

Well, I was lucky enough to be accepted by a wonderful high LF mate now and will try to block this crappy mate, I'll tell you what happened/if anything happened once I find out. Sadly, I seem to be too dumb to figure out how to block them. (Yes, you did explain how to do it before)

Edit:
I can't see them, their town, etc.
They are still on my event mates list, I can see them there, but tapping their icon tells me I blocked them and have to unblock them to see them.
My LF didn't decrease.
I can't tell whether their LF will still contribute to mine, frankly, I don't care, seeing how it isn't going up anyway, but I think it will go up.

My conclusion would be that blocking you event mate saves you from getting a request from them on your main route and future events, you can't visit their town/talk board, but it doesn't do anything for the current event, it just saves you from unpleasant experiences in the future.

that's good to hear then
wish I knew, because last event, I got one this crappy e-mates who drag me down. Seems like she didn't finish the first route because her LF doesn't event pass 7-8k?

Aquitaine · **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2015, 03:28:44 PM

Repeating mates is the way to go. I even have the same mated in MFW and BMP. Sometimes they disappoint me but I suppose that sometimes they have the same feeling with me.

Arisa-chan · **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2015, 05:01:30 PM

once you get the good e-mates, you should make sure to make her your wm or pm...unless you know their code
apparently you can't search they by name only

and sometimes, even when you're mate already...there's this time they have fixed e-mates already so your invitation won't be accepted
I still haven't get a good list for MFWP

while in BMPP...well you know some people here I can trust to be e-mate/pm
oh...got another one with 50k charm joined...nice
I really hope I have enough time to get all SHE (since in 2-3 days ahead I should go out of town to do something urgent)
Till that time, I'll do my best to help my other mates...and will send some message too

tssf · **Reply #25 on:** January 18, 2015, 06:21:24 PM

That's the only thing I actually understand. Good e-mates for everything. adding the same person for every event is the only thing that gives a constant LF flow. I think that with a list of reliable mates (and maybe one or two high LF mates) the events would be half as problematic as they seem.

The problem is that except for a few very reliable e-mates we have to add someone else, unless someone has a bigger group - which could also be a problem.
That's where crappy mates ruin it. I can easily add people around my LF (a bit lower, a bit higher), but can only risk adding a strange if I don't have a crappy mate who already pulled me down.

Last event I was the lucky one, I only had one high LF mate, but they were doing the crazy ranking, so I could easily rely on them, old e-mates and accept people around my LF - one of them was an amazing mate and I'm so angry for not sending a MS-invite before the event ended.

Speaking of reliable:

Ah~....I'm playing the event with total strangers...(I think)

A good thing is, one of them is taking me on dates, but idk if it's because I'm on top of her list and automatically get selected or she's actually selecting me o3o
Other ones have LFs similar to mine, and I think two of them are quitting or too busy to check...it's already been 14 hours since one of them logged in and other one 12 hours with decent LF...

And...anyone have space for me? FYI, I just reached 20K...and have 2 more spaces...

Aiwethryne · **Reply #27 on:** January 19, 2015, 12:52:21 AM

I'm at 19,400ish with one space. I take everyone on my list in a cycle, but I usually have no idea who takes me until near the end of the event since I only click that notification when I don't have enough for a mission.

I have one mate who has been lingering just above 10K for a while, but s/he logged in half an hour ago, so who knows what might happen~~

Lunette · **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2015, 04:40:17 AM

The worst is when a real friend adds you, you can't say no and it's not an active player...well, I like to help but it's difficult to finish events with friends like that...!

Now I'm at 20k, 2 slots free and at my 3rd route. I hope I can do it to get the early bonus!
