One of the reasongs I played Secret Society (that other game) for so long was because you could time travel, set talismen in the future for months, and generate desktop awards to make playing the challenges doable.

I don't think they ruined it, as such, they just tightened up the loopholes to level the playing field (Kindle users couldn't time travel). In retaliation, some of the more advanced users figured out how to gift large numbers of items (at least I think that was the reason). Some of us benefitted from that greatly -- to the extent that it has made up for the lack of time travel in some ways. I'm sure it has also cut into G5's profits, and as we know it is all about the money.

Unfortunately, they seem to have lost their creative design people. The latest challenge picture has such tiny, unidentifiable items that it is creating a whole new group of issues for those of us who played regularly.

I came over here to try to escape the chaos at SS, and also to play the pictures. I've had SN on my iPad for over a year, but mostly I played the "games" rather than the pictures. I am finding that I like Seeker's Notes better in some ways -- the pictures are more interesting, and the graphics are lovely. On the down side, the latest challenge is nearly impossible to complete. I've been at the end of the 4th group of items for 2 days trying to collect those cookies that lead to the teddy bears that you have to have to complete a stage. They just aren't falling like they should. I don't know if this is the way it has always been or if it is new with the last couple of updates.

Obviously I am torn between the two games. I'm still playing both, but time is going to intervene at some point, and I'll have to pare down the games.

I'll get off the soapbox now. Sorry.
