City of Wonder Information Post

Lots of good information in one place. Originally shared by Alan Liddell [CoW Information Post] Things you might not have known about City of Wonder! (Please share this with others, there seems to be many people who do not know this information. This post has been made Public, so shares should work now.) TL;DR Ask for things or send things once a day. Refresh your notifications by muting and refreshing your screen. Ask for goods once a day. Reset timers by not asking for two days. See #1. (UPDATED) We can accept only one building OR one legend, and one workshop good per ally per day. See #1. Mess halls are valuable. Sell them. See #1. Certain bonuses can only be clicked once. Don’t spam embassy bonuses or expedition bonuses. Hate “Too many goods” pop-ups? Put away your workshop! (UPDATE) Gift timers appear to be based on the time the gift is sent, not when it is received! Details NOTIFICATIONS WINDOW: The notifications window is (sort-of) fixed! Before they fixed the problem, you could not go back beyond one page of requests because the “More” button did not show any results. (it still doesn’t! lol) Well, now you can mute any post that you have fulfilled, and once you have muted your entire page, you can refresh your tab and another page of requests pops up! This means that you don’t have to spam notifications or requests, hoping that they stay on the first page long enough to get clicks! You can send out a request once and know that people will be able to get to it! Spamming requests only (a) frustrates you for not getting the things you want, and (b) causes more unnecessary clicking for your allies. ...

Via Cake on FB. “They have perverted medical science and our legal system to such an extent that deadly street drugs like marijuana are now decriminalized and available to our children at any bus stop. [… …] Hipsters fetishize clothes above drugs, while for hippies it’s the opposite.” I was certain this was an Onion-worthy spoof for the first half of it. But when I started looking into the rest of their site I find the headline/blurb on the home page states: ...

Today is my first day on google plus and I have run into two frustrations.

Today is my first day on google plus and I have run into two frustrations. The most immediate and irritating issue is that when I try to type and make a post in Safari it goes crazy like I’m typing lots of stuff I’m not. I am typing this is a local editor and I hope that I can cut and paste this in. The other big irritant is that I have a circle of people I don’t want to follow, but they show up by default. Is it possible to make a circle of Negation? ...
