Exceeding 160 "turns"

[kidotaku]

I have seven characters in play, I paid for five of them to have unlimited clicks, but I still keep running out of "turns."

I have begun clicking open player identities/maps/wiki/etc into new tabs, and this has helped a lot, but wonder if anyone out there has any suggestions. I am having a lot of fun, but 50 AP doesn't take long to spend when you're a level one zombie.

In case anyone is interested, I am raising a scout, a doctor, a fireman, a zombie, another zombie, a scientist(NT), and another zombie (don't ask).

No one is anywhere near anyone else, so you can save the collusion dialog. I was bored. Really bored.

Thanks, in advance.

You're still running out even though you donated for 5 of them? Well, I guess one possibility would be if you log in and out of the others too frequently. I know I have exhausted the ip limit a couple times with my characters when I was checking back in periodically to make sure they weren't dead (like if I accidentally ran out of ap outside and am waiting to get enough back to get inside). If you check on your characters a lot, that can eat up ip hits pretty fast. Also, if you use your characters' ap up right after the server resets, then play again later the same day when they are at full ap again, that could do it. I believe the server resets at roughly midnight GMT.

That must be the problem, I took my Doctor with 12 AP to deliver FAKs, (be the hero, get lotsa XP) - TOTALLY FORGETTING that I am a level one Doctor, and don't have free running. There are 47 Zeds in the 9 blocks I can see. All the buildings are EHB, I can't get in. I expect to be dead soon. I just hope those that I healed defend me til I can get to my home computer ISP. Because it's counting me down again.
Thanks!

Are you using the ones you paid for first or last?

I kind of mix'em up, I start with the one in Earletown, and work my way south west.

I think I know what the problem is, though. I got the message for the third day in a row, instead of getting upset, I actually read the message carefully, and followed all the available links.

It seems that I haven't paid for them 'officially" until I have received the email that says they have been unlocked. (This actually makes sense, even if it is frustrating!)

Edit: Here's the payment data. I wonder how long it takes to update? I am already two moves from being locked out. And today I only got half way thru my characters.

So, you only donated a couple days ago. That makes sense. I've heard it usually takes a little while before you get the limit lifted.

That and you should probably use the ones you haven't paid for first, as the "hits" you've used may still be counted when it comes to the unpaid ones.

I never did get the promised email, but now there is a banner running across the bottom of my info page that says this character no longer subject to IP restriction. (I wonder: Is it a banner if it runs across the bottom?)

In short, remember not to run your IP unlimited characters first. Use them last, use your limited characters first and then use the other guys.

I"ve been doing that lately, but of ccourse I did everything wrong in the beginning!
