    Not sure if this is going to be worth carrying on with, there have been people running scripts to collect the deer and then trading them.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    How do you know people have been running scripts?

    hduk say that anything like that will result in disqualification. You can only leave it to them to police the site.

    Anyway only 2 PS3s have been won so far, and a few Amazon vouchers so the cheaters can't be doing much better than anyone else so far!

    There was a thread on hduk which was taken down with people complaining about it and there was a link to

    http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/153213

    The trouble is with the trading its going to be very hard to spot the ones got through cheating.

  • Thing is you can only trade the levels 1 and 2 , no-one in their right mind is going to swap a level 3 , if thats even possible.

    Unreal how many people are posting on the trading thread asking for level 3s , braindead.

    I have most level 1s and 2s now , just waiting for a level 3 to pop up , not holding my breath though.

    Can i ask those of you who have caught alot of flamedeers:

    I know they pop up randomly, but, have you found that they appear after doing a particular task, like clicking hot, posting a comp or deal or just browsing etc etc.. I'm interested to hear those who have level 2 or 3 how they managed to get those also.. Were they from special tasks etc.. ive tried to keep an eye on fb/twitter/newsletter feeds but as soon as they are posted it seems someone has beaten you to it, even if the link was posted 10 seconds ago!

    I just wandered if there was more i could be doing to increase my deer numbers! Many thanks for any advice :D
    I smile because I have absolutely no idea what's going on

  • Well, I only started two days ago, but I have a level 2 and two level 1's. Frankly, I just opened as many links as I could in new tabs, and just went through them and closed them one by one. Weirdly enough, I got every one a few minutes after I logged on, but none afterwards.
  • I have all level 1s plus some dupes, and all level 2's except Albino. I find I get a deer almost as soon as I log in 1st thing, and then again later in the day when I log in - so you are rewarded for certain things, it's not just finding them randomly. I would suggest being as active on the site as you can.

    Having looked into what Moneybot said, it does seem like the script runners could possibly take all the prizes. Flamedeer have been much thinner on the ground today.

    2 PS3s have gone so far and a Kindle Fire.

    Just can't seem to find the level 2 flamedeers on this. I have 31 flamedeers and only 1 is level 2.

    Most of my L2s have come from the Twitter/Facebook links, it's the L3s that are like hen's bloody teeth! I've got all but 2 of the L1 and L2s now, only got one L3 three though (the Amazon one).
