Lounge for The Chain Game: San Andreas

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks OrionSR for explanation I knew you would know this. Maybe you are right about those failed dates, so it's safer to not date. Also sorry for saving far away from mission, I explained that already in chain game topic.

[OrionSR]

Actually, I was hoping someone might challenge my conclusions and possibly prove me wrong.

 

 

Two-Timing dates will be permanently disabled when CJ goes on a date that is not a Gimp Suit or She Drives date and leaves or fails to reach the destination (Food or Dancing), or completes or fails the goal (Driving, Drive-By):

 

 

if only one girlfriend is active

 

 

if a jealous girlfriend does not appear

 

 

if the jealous girlfriend is evaded

 

 

So, to fatten CJ up without disabling the two-timing dates a player could make sure the jealous girlfriend appears and either get caught and lose some progress, or do the home sphere thing but not necessarily collect the proofed car.

 

LV isn't all that far from Doherty if you use the warp at the Juniper Hollow... Bincos, IIRC.

Hello Chain Game Members, I did the Quarry missions yesterday and in my notes I said to look at the lounge but couldn't post what I was going to. So during the Quarry Mission #7, when they tell me to find the bike it was in this position in the sky as you can see. Does anyone have any Idea why this happened? I failed the mission once becasue I had no idea where the bike was. I had to shoot it down with a minigun. I was using my V2 Executable.

 

[Space Cowboy]

I don't know why this happened to you, but I had similiar situation with firefighting mission I had car placed in the sky where my water canon couldn't reach. This glitch has nothing to do with chain game saves I guess..

[lil weasel]

When last I did the Final quarry mission I was droping the motor into the dumper. When I raised the magnet the Dumper also lifted. Then it disappeared for good. Some strange things happen in that quarry.

Saving at Madd Doggs mansion will not cause any bugs in the Chain Game save. But good thinking there I must admit, trying to avoid glitch situations . Don't feel reluctant to save at the mansion next time if you want to save the game there.

^I already send him pm regarding to that.

[dangr]

Yeah, I was going to say that. Thank you both guys.

[dangr]

 

In such a case, one can actually wait around and call every 3rd mission before hand, and negate the possibility of others to call the mission. This seems to be a fine loophole of the 3-mission rule, which callers should not exploit.

 

I read the rules but I didn't understand the underlined part. Can anyone explain it to me? (google translator couldn't )

 

 

edit: Thank you 0909090.

[Space Cowboy]

I believe it means that you shouldn't call turn before previous one is not completed yet. And BTW google translator sucks .

Edited December 29, 2012 by 0909090

[Shoumaker]

Yes, it's simple. You cannot reserve turns, the first person to call it will get it.

[Space Cowboy]

@dangr Can you please next time avoid dating? Dating girlfriends permanently disables two-timing dates, thus player who wants to collected their proofed vehicles cannot do this anymore. You can read about two-timing dates <here> and about their proofed vehicles <here>

This time as we have collected all of them it's ok, but next time could you please avoid dating at least until we have collected them all? It's still just a suggestion, but we would be glad if you won't date them. Thier outfits are open at the beginning of the game btw, if you didn't know that.

[dangr]

Didn't notice that. I just saw that she was home and took her to a bar.

 

I will have this on my mind from now on.

[Miro]

Hey guys I'm returning to the Chain Game.

Hopefully things are so rushed as they were about 7 rounds ago.

[Space Cowboy]

Not really chain game is going on slower pace not like it used to when I started playing. Welcome back.

[Space Cowboy]

In my recent turn I saved 2 times, because I got instant crash at OG Loc mission after I killed Freddy. It happened in other rounds as well, so in this turn I first collected Freddy's bike, did firefighter mission and saved. Then I completed OG Loc mission. After I reloaded my save, game crashed again one more time, but 2nd attempt was fine. I have no idea why I have crashes on OG Loc mission. I never save 2 or more times in chain game, I used to do it, but in recent rounds I never did turn with more than 1 save. This is exception, hope it's ok.

[Shoumaker]

Of course its okay, it's only a suggestion. Not a rule

[Shoumaker]

Sorry For the Double Post but it's already 2013 in my country. So Happy New Year guys! Wishing you guys a very happy year

 

[Kwabs]

Happy new year shoumic

 

Anyway, I play the chain game with a downloaded v2 script, but a v1 exe (since I still have the original v1 DVD) and in the previous two rounds the barriers didn't show up but now suddenly they do. So my question is: why?

[Miro]

Because this save was created on a V1 exe using V2 scripts, hence only a V1 player (like you say you are) is able to pass the "Green Sabre"; "Are You Going To San Fierro?" & "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" missions. That's why, in the lines of the first Chain Game post it says that barriers appear for V1 players but not for V2, that's why a V1 player needs to do those missions. Always read the first lines of the first Chain Game post to see which version players can do those specific missions; lines that are the following in the latest Chain Game round, the 88th:

 

 

Barriers and Objects appear for v1 players but not for v2 players. This means that a v1 player will have to complete the missions "Green Sabre", "Are You going to San Fierro?" and "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom".

[Space Cowboy]

This round we play with V1 exe, last round it was V2 exe.

BTW strange happened to me while ago. I did SF courier and then I wanted to do Wrong side of tracks, and collect CP Sanchez. So I started mission, took BS on bike and I went straight to place where that car on railway spawns, actually I went a bit more far. So I equiped sniper rifle and as soon as I saw train I aimed on train driver's head and killed him. Train stopped, so I started to kill Vagos members, but then suddenly I got well known message "All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ". Bit strange I guess, it happened on 2nd attempt soon, cost me 2 mission attempts sorry for that, I decided to save, so I won't mess up more.

Anyways happy new year 2013 to all!

@miromiro I don't think you get what I mean. I know barriers only show up for v1 players so that's why I downloaded the v2 script files to play the chaingame as a v2 player. In the previous round this worked fine, but now suddenly the barriers show up again.

[Miro]

V1 .exe isn't the same as V1 script. Even if you are using the V2 script in order to play the Chain Game, your game version will still be V1 not matter what. The script doesn't really matter, since every single Chain Game in the past 3 years at least used the V2 script. As I said, although all starting saves are made on V2 script, the .exe version changes from time to time. You need to understand that an .exe version can't be switched as we do with the script. The script version is only to be able to load the save file, while .exe is the same.

 

This round, the 88th was made on a V1 .exe and V2 script, while the previous round, the 87th was made on V2 .exe and V2 script, hence why the barriers didn't show up for you and me, V1 players. Do you understand now?

[Shoumaker]

I forgot to mention this before, In the turn I did the BMX challenge and World War ace. I actually started Wrong Side of the Tracks and collected the BP/FP/EP/DP Sanchez and put it in El Corona.

[Space Cowboy]

Well, try to not forget this things next time, it cost me 2 fails . Remember what DREVIL said few pages back about this collecting vehicle and leaving mission uncompleted.....

[Miro]

In a reply to this post:

This is not an unfamiliar situation, it just didn't happen at all lately. Obviously his turn gets annulled because he took a different save and didn't continue with the latest one. Judging the situation by logic, what you did, shoumic, was correct. We need to continue with this turn.

[Shoumaker]

The situation became unfamiliar because you accidentally posted the wrong save Miro, Celestial did use the previous save.

Edited January 1, 2013 by shoumic

[JAJ]

Turns out Celestial Hyena's turn was okay, the problem was miromiro's save was from his previous turn Just Business & Bandito Country - I'll PM Celestial Hyena & let him know that he was an 'inocent bystander' & didn't do anything wrong.

[Miro]

Yeah sorry John. I didn't mean it, but I guess I somehow missed the correct link; I was a little tired too. Won't happen in the future I promise, I'll double-check from now! And happy new year to every single one of you.

[Space Cowboy]

 

Found engineless ngr while I reloaded save from Mulholland armory. I made it EP/FP and put it in Santa Maria. That's my first time seeing it in game.
