Okay, so here's the story.

I logged on to Elements around 5-10 minutes ago for the Oracle. Lo, and behold, a wild Purple Nymph appeared! I was so overjoyed, I went and told my brother about it. Then I took a screenshot and proceeded to save it and post it here on the forums. "I know today today will be a good day." Though, whatever power was granted to me via the Oracle (see screenshot) kind of blew up my computer. I got BSOD just as I was about to click "Get the Card!" I jumped out of my chair, fell over, screamed in pain, then at the computer, then at my brother. Anyway, I didn't get the Purple Nymph and I'm kind of bummed now.

Not really sure if I'm posting in the right section for this, but..
Tough luck or gracious redemption?
(Do I get the card? ;~;?)

**Edit; Just logged back into Elements. The options are different. Was there an update?? It's unlikely that it'd be the cause of the crash, but I know the options didn't have AI speed and Music when I logged on for the Oracle. Oh, and I didn't get the 300 Electrum from the Oracle either. ):

When you say "blew up my computer", do you mean literally, or just glitch? I'm sorry, but if it glitched, exploded, or anything that would quit your browser, then you probably didn't get the nymph.

*headdesk* yeah, that must hurt.

I guess that in the time you were afk telling it to your brother/friend/cousin/neighbour your internet might have done something bad and made the thing crush... I guess it could be a prevention mechanism to avoid card spamming (a hack).

Edit: just saw your edit. Yeah, the version was just changed. That must be the reason...

It might. I'm not sure, though. I admit to having tested the available hacks for Elements in the past on an alternate account. (Separate issue. Long story short, it was caught swiftly and IP ban was resolved as I clearly have no intent on harming the game or community.) Through memory editing, it's not possible to glitch/hack cards through the Oracle. If the skills of a hacker are of a caliber high enough to hack through the Oracle to gain cards, I'm pretty sure they would be capable of disabling such a feature, which probably doesn't exist in the first place.

Like I said, it's unlikely that an update would cause my computer to crash. The update is server sided, and if anything, my client would try to receive nonexistent packets and at worst, the browser itself would have crashed. Instead, it was my whole computer.

No, I said BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). My entire computer shut down suddenly after giving me the blue screen for about half a second. It was running loudly, so perhaps it overheated. I know I didn't get the Nymph, this is a request to moderators / game masters as to whether or not I can be... reimbursed for unfortunate events? Unsure if those are the right terms, but something along those lines.

How unfortunate. I assure you that we commiserate but the bad news is the only person who could reverse this would be the lead (and only) developer, Zanzarino. And as a matter of policy -- which is completely normal and expected -- he doesn't generally do that sort of thing, to my knowledge.

Rest assured you will get plenty more nymphs in the future, but losing one this way sure is a bummer. Hopefully your good karma will bring you better luck sooner than you expect.

Whenever you get lucky with the Oracle ... CLOSE THE DEAL ... RIGHT NOW!!!

Don't go telling your brother, posting on the forums, jacking off on it in the bathroom,
to school so you can tell all your friends, waiting until next weekend so even your grandma can
hear how lucky you are ... before you hit that "get the card" button.

[kobisjeruk]

i have a knack of taking screenshot on the day i win nymphs and looking back, each one of them is with the 'Get the Card!' button
yeah...really need to start getting the card before doing anything else

But I like to jack off on it in the.. Nevermind that. Yeah I definitely should have, given the benefit of hindsight, but this is the first time it's ever happened to me and my computer hasn't crashed for nearly half a year. Kind of difficult to change the past. Someone grant me a Reverse Time / Rewind? :X

[TheIdioticIdiot]

O.O
tough luck...

[xBerzerk]

Hope not.

Just got this from the Oracle.

The Oracle's prophecy means that this topic will either lead me to a reimbursement of 300 electrum and a Purple Nymph (yay!) or a giant F U from a moderator (please no.).

^^
yep, Daxx can be a **** (I just typed 4 asterisks, use your imagination)

[killybob]

now now people, remember daxx is not the only moderator .maybe iff you send them all gifts of plenty they will redeem your nymph. you could also try donating £100, getting your nymph back as an act of gratitude and another from the redeem code it gives you after the transaction
