Galaxy Quest - one of my mother's favorites. I love it too.

1. TT is time travel, and is changing the time on your device. First rule is do not go into the future. This can mess up some stuff. The things you can gain with TT is restoring your energy (480 points for every 24 hours), and allowing you to send more gifts to your friend. Here's how I do it. I set my date/time back to the first of the previous month. Then I go into the gifting window, and click on the Send tab (when going BACK in time, sometimes you need to click on this tab to get the reset, going forward doesn't require that). Then I gift, typically 100 passes, and 10 CIs from friends' wish lists. I jump forward one day, and do the same again, usually for the whole month, always one day at a time. By being in LAST month, I don' accidentally go into the future.

There are things in the game that are determined by your computer clock, and things that are determined by the MyTona server. Helping your friends is a MyTona server thing, so it is NOT effected by your computer clock. Other things linked to the MyTona server are the trophies, the time when events ends, and the desk guardian daily quests. That being said, many players have messed up their guardian quests with TT, but I haven't figured out exactly how. But it seems it might be caused by jumping forward too much (more than a day) at a time.

So you ask, if I am gifting in the previous month, how do I get back to the present to visit friends and play the game. Here is the trick - CLOSE THE GAME. Once your game has been closed, you can go back to the present, and when the game opens, it will not be effected by the date change.

The reason for the issues with jumping forward are that the game runs on the computer clock, but will also update/sync with the MyTona server. So if a mini-event is ending in 12 hours, and you jump forward a day (24 hours), your game will think the mini-event has ended, and you may lose status in that event. If you close the game and reopen it, the mini-event will come back with the 12 hours left to play, but you may have to start all over, it depends on the mini-event. For example, if it is the falling star mini-event, you will lose all passes needed to play the event.

Talismans and TT don't mix. Talismans run anywhere from 12 minutes to 10 days, depending on the talisman. If you are running a 2 hour talisman, and jump forward a day, the talisman will die (run out of time). So the rule is, don't start a talisman until you are done TT/gift giving.

TT does not effect your status in the game, gifts you have, charges on your map, or anything that is not related to time.

TT makes crafting "instant". If I order a 6 minute item from a merchant, and move my clock forward 6 minutes, the item is done and I can collect it. On my Windows game, the crafting is not effected by the date, but is by the minutes/hours. In other words, if I start to craft an item that will take 6 minutes, then turn my clock BACK an hour, it will now be 1 hour and 6 minutes until done, but if I change just the date, back a day, it will still be 6 minutes (go figure). Maybe other devices (platform) could be different.

If I need to craft items that take hours, I will craft them when I am doing my gifting. Place the order, go to gifting, send 100 passes, go back to map, move time forward 1 day, collect crafted item (done immediately when you jump forward 1 day).

2. Charges from your friends "stack" on your rooms. When you use one, the next one will become available. The only way to get "help" from 2 friends at a time is to "hire" one. You can hire a friend by clicking on one wandering on your map and then click on "hire", or do the same from your friend list. Your friend gets nothing from being hires, and doesn't even know you have hired them, so NEVER waste rubies by charging a "tired" friend. Besides, TT will also reset your friends for hiring.

3. The only way to communicate in the game is by changing your game name, which is very limited. You can change your name as often as you like, and you will often see friends requesting passes that way, or letting friends know if they are going to be away from the game for some time (sick, vacation, etc.)

4. Guardian quests are random.

5. When a game is installed on a device, it is assigned a code by MyTona. If the game is deleted, and reinstalled, a new code is assigned, and the game starts over. MyTona finally added a step to installation where during the installation, you can select that you are re-installing, and you will get your old game restored. If you want to move your game to a new device, you have to contact MyTona and give them your old code, and your new code, and they will transfer your status, inventory and friends to the new code. As far as I know, you cannot play the same game/code on more than one device, but you would have to ask Facebook players for sure, because you might be able to do that through Facebook, but I don't know if that works, or how well that works.

6. Not sure what you mean by scroll...

7. Charging trophies is the same, not effected by your talent. Here is the problem with charging trophies: you can only collect your trophies at the most, twice each day. So you would be able to collect on 2 charges to your trophies. Charges made by your friends to your map EXPIRE after 48 hours, so if more than 2 friends charge your trophies, the charges are just WASTED. Not a good way to help your friend. So most people do not want their trophies charged. I guarantee you, I never see my trophies without charges, and all those charges are from people who are NOT on this forum.

So what do you charge? Since your charge is a percentage, your friends get more benefit from charging the higher rooms, BUT you only get the benefit of the charge if you PLAY the room. So the trick is to try to charge the rooms your friends like and play. For me, that means I avoid charging any rooms that are still brown, and often charge the Treasure Box and Haunted Lights. Since TT friends can do the instant crafting, I seldom charge the purple crafting rooms.

When you go to your friend's map to charge, there are NO monsters or residents on the map. The only thing you can charge are trophies and the rooms they have opened (not still locked).

8. See above. I like to have my premium rooms charged, because they give the most event room passes, so I play those more. For anyone trying to earn those event passes, this is probably a good choice.

9. I never have anything on my Wish List, because I truly don't need CIs or fixers (PLEASE - no more fixers). The thing that I CAN use is Access Passes (what you need to get into the premium room). Any friend who has an empty Wish List, can ALWAY use passes, so send away. All of us were once beginners, and have progressed to where we don't need as much help, but we LOVE to be able to help newer players, the way wonderful friends helped us when we were there.

10. You will have to take that up with MyTona - I believe her name is Amy.
