    Chaps, can someone tell me, when I get to the beginning how do I tell it what direction I want to point? It's just that if I have to do anything even aguely complicated I'm going to have to get on a less stressed computer!

    Thanks

  • I've just had my go - it took about 2 hours from position 115 in the queue. It wasn't complicated just a couple of clicks to select the direction - although I have to say I had no idea where I was supposed to be aiming so it will be complete fluke if I win!
    Good luck

    - You don't need the live feed to aim the catapult - in the top left section (the one which says nearly there now when you are in the queue :rolleyes: ) a picture appears with the sheep pointing his arm straight up, you then click the left or right red triangle to aim (you have a time limit for this but it is generous) - it is only when you click the big red fire button that the red men/women then aim in the direction you chose.

    - watch the live feed & decide roughly where you want to aim as you move up the queue then you can quite quickly 'aim' when you get to the top of the queue
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Click just at the edge of the log in button and you'll see an outline appear around the box, press enter and this will cancel the pop up box "queue full etc", press enter again and this acts the same as clicking the log in with your mouse (as long as you can see the outline on the log in box.) Hope you can understand this :o
    I tried this and wedged a bit of paper in the enter button and it did itself for 20 minutes and then computer beeped and got completely stuck..still didnt get through!
