Pellet button on KI

Okay, I'm a bit angry actually...

There's a new button on the KI now, a blue pellet icon. So what do you do with new buttons? You click on it. So I click, and now my pellet points have been reset to zero without a warning!

So this is both a warning and a little rant...

The button only appears when you're near the right imager in a neighborhood. It uploads your pellet score to that imager, for whatever reason.

Okay, thanks!

It's still odd that your points are being reset...

Is tha ta bug or will it keep mounting the score onto the imager when u click on it?

Perhaps this is new and why we have not seen much change on the ferry monitor?
It needs our pellet points to help combat the algae?

Not happened to me yet yet!

Your points dissapeared?
When I clicked the button, all my points did was going to the hoodimager instead of my KI...

Ood... there was a reply from vid and another one from me in this topic while it was still in General Discussion. Now this topic has been moved and two posts have disappeared?!

Anyway, you're right, they're on the hood imager now. Still odd that the points on your KI are being reset to zero though.

I just posted my points on the right imager in a hood of which I am not a member. I wonder if it's supposed to work that way? Seems like an oopsie to me, since you can't post images in a hood to which you don't belong.

The imager won't let you post zero points, though.

I also unwittingly posted pellet points to an imager. I would never have willingly chosen to do so and I'm big time miffed!

I know what I lost: all my points and weeks of work. So what the heck did I gain by doing that, besides a brief moment of glory seeing my name on the board? I want an explanation .... fast!!

:evil:

Waiting for the episode to start before I do that myself; dumping points to my hood imager that is.

Sounds like you had more then a few points....

But what makes you think that you lost all of your work? All you did was dump your points towards a tally that anyone can read. Of course once the mega hoods start dumping to their imagers we are all SOL(Sorry Out'a Luck

).

So what you're saying is my little "accident" was an even bigger waste, having posted it to a tiny Bevin?

erm, I have a feeling "features" like this will be explained... one reason why I don't touch anything new until the episode starts!

If they gave you the option to send your points to a hood's total score, without explaining beforehand that you'd "lose" them if you did so, I don't think it's "bad" to use that button. Maybe the points only mean anything if they're transfered to a hood imager.

@Elkae

Nah all that I was meaning is that the mega hoods; If they ever decide to do this in an organized manner, are going to have a embarrassment of riches. The fact that the KI zeros out is a yikes thing, and I only have a couple thousand points to my name.

p.s. The hood I am in has a whole 12 members, and that's where all my points are going. I also haven't managed to set my ovens to a decent recipe yet. :mrgreen:

Oh, now that would be a real stick in the eye. There's nothing like Bevin Loyalty or lack thereof to bring out the worst in explorers. I hope you're wrong about that (and fear you're right).
