    Inconsistency between Trigggls, Boks and MegaBoks

    I am curious. It seems that Trigggls, Boks and MegaBoks are three of a kind, yet there is an inconsistency - perhaps two with them.
    Trigggls are obviously achieved for getting between 10000 and 10100 cobblestones in a project, Boks for 100,000 and 101,000 and MegaBoks for between 1,000,000 and 1,000,100.
    It seems to me that they ought to either all have the same actual margin, or all have the same margin percentage. As it stands Boks are way, way easier to get than TeraBoks.
    I think the margin should all be either 100 or 1000 for all three MegaMilestopnes, or the margin for TeraBoks should be 10,000 i.e. the same as for the others.
    Frankly I am not bothered which way it went, but it seems wrong as it is. Sorry I am being picky here, maybe I'll go and checked out for OCD
    I notice looking round the forum that x3mEn raised this same point last year sometime but didn't get an answer - so at least I know I am not alone here!

    I think you are right, changed to all have a margin of 1000.

    Win some and loose some.
    I have been trying hard to get trigggl scores under the "100" limit. And I though I was doing quite well. Now I don't need to work so hard. The revised margin added two overshoots.....but it also dropped me a bunch in the rankings.

    Thanks Bok - as ever supremely fast responses to suggestions. I think you went the right way too, it would have been a bit rough on people to tighten them all to 100 - not least your good self! - and 10,000 for a TeraBok would have made it too easy. Good call.
    I have some sympathy with you Werinbert, I just gained a few Trigggls, due to past failures coming to life, thought I might get a Maxwell for them but the top score seems to have shot up slightly more than I did lol. And I came very close to losing a Maxwell for TeraBoks. Swings and roundabouts, but all good! :-)

    I think I'm going to change Trigggls back to 10000 - 10100 though. Was thinking about it overnight and now had two people bring it up.

    I've actually given up a lot of my 'Bok's in order to get hours for projects to get my WuProp stars

    Yes I do think that is the one downside of the these particular MegaMilestones in that they can actually tempt you to stop doing projects you want to do.

    If you are going to put it back then perhaps for consistency you ought to set the margin on TeraBoks to 1% also. They are quite hard to get to as these tend to be projects that you can pile on the Cobblestones relatively quickly and it is therefore harder to put on the brakes in time. I am not really bothered either way as long as I know it isn't a mistake and has been a considered decision.

    This is what makes trigggls, boks, and teraboks so fun. One has to make decisions on which projects to hold at the cutoffs and which projects to turn up the throttle.
