I went for it....
28 out of 30....really????!!!!!
Ugh... Now my stock is wiped out and I'm so sorry to my neighbors. :(
I thought I was prepared...I may just boycott this achievement (made some coin with the event though, but still--28/30??!! Ugh!!!!
That attempt was just practice. No worries.
Any lessons learned to share with those still trying to complete this as well?
Agree with Holidae, you did a profitable practice run. I too missed my first TT 3 attempt by one order and had to quit playing for two days to recover. So, sending you a virtual hug in sympathy.
Yes....maybe don't attempt when your 13 year old is yammering on about how cute Benedict Cumberbatch is.....Quote:

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that **hugs**. If I would've known you were attempting it then I would've offered my assistance if it were needed. It's ok, that was just practice. At least you know how to prepare next time. Don't worry TTIII will always be there for you to achieve. I hope you don't give up hope just yet, there's always tomorrow & the next day & the day after that & the day after that & the day after that....Quote:

They have to be on your friends list and before you start you make sure the helpers farm is centered on your list so you can find them in a flash.
Either use KIK or start a thread announcing the run and you can communicate to your helper when you get an order you can't fill. Depending where you are in the run, they can quickly sell you what you need or encourage you to keep going. Generally the only time you need a back up is when you get more than three unfillable orders early on in the run or if you level up during the thing. There is no shame having a back up. It's no different than looking for the item yourself, but it is much quicker. And time is important.
You can do this really you can!
Edit. Mosey dear, I just checked, both my farms are a couple levels higher than you , so get prepping and give me a yell. I'll start stocking my little farm and back you up. And since Jess offered too, she can back me up. It'll be fun!
Edit 2 it looks like random chic wants to help too. We can be your cheerleaders.
D'aw! That's a bummer, Mosey! *pity hugs*Quote:

Awe...thanks you guys!!!! I will need some time to recover (emotionally lol)
I think I will do some neighbor RSS retail therapy at bedtime to help with the healing :)
You guys are awesome!
I applaud your courage OP. TT3 is formidable to me, and I wouldn't even dare to try it until my barn size reaches 3000 and I have 50 of every hard-to-buy-off-DD items in stock :p
Aww, sorry it didn't work out this time Mosey :(
Hopefully you recover soon and can give it another go!
If you need anything to help re-stock let me know!
Kik me at Liz Urban when you start your next run and I'll help. I too failed my first try. I think I got 25/30.
I'm so sorry! I had to trick myself even into trying it today - told myself (and my son, who asked when he saw me sending off truck after truck) that I wasn't going for anything and the only way it could even hope to happen would be sheer dumb luck. I wonder why this achievement it so intimidating?
when you're ready to give it another try, I'd LOVE to help!
*hug* sounds like you have lots of support here & I'll add mine to the list ;)
Hey Mosey, send me a friend request, I'll be a helper and cheerleader next go round too! :)
*hugs* Mosey. Time zone permitting I am happy to help next time around.
Ditto.

Oh, Mosey, I know EXACTLY how you feel because the same thing just happened to me...28 out of 30! All I needed was 1 butter popcorn and 1 casserole and I would have succeeded. Arggggggh! Hadn't planned to make the run, but I'd set up my board, filled all those, and then the green checks just kept appearing so I kept filling them. Do you think I could find those 2 items in the DD or neighbors' bins. Not one to be found, and the screen was scrolling SO slowly and hesitating. As you said, we made some coin. I did achieve TTII tonight. BUT, lost III. :( SOOOO frustrating. SOOOO close!Quote:

Ladies I'm only a cornbread throw away from you so if you need any back up just give me a shout on KIK or here.
So sorry Cindi. *hug* as for Mosey, time difference permitting I am happy to be on stand by next time.Quote:

Benedict Cumberbatch? I had to google him! Shows my ignorance eh? ;)
Better luck next time! I know you'll be up for the challenge again,
I wouldn't even attempt it yet not until my barn is bigger.
Lol! I started it when my 1 year old was asleep, and she woke up part way through. I remember trying to sterilise a dummy between trucks - he he he he :)Quote:

I'm here to help too :)
Spewin Mosey!! By the looks of your forum post time you were trying to do TT3 while I was doing TT2 - I was hoarding everything I had and could maybe have helped too!!! Make sure you let us know next time and I will put stuff out for u :)
Sorry to hear that Mosey and Cindi. Here is the link Tig mentioned.

It took months of prep, and 15 minutes of the worst sort of sweaty palm, stomach churning moments during the run, but when it was over, I did such a victory dance that my family was ready to commit me!
Call on me whenever you're ready to go for it again! I'll be happy to back both of you up!
Yikes, how frustrating! Big hugs to you both. Count me in for support when either of you try again. Just PM me when you're planning on going for it again and I'll give you my KIK ID so you can contact me quick for what you need.
