irish chicken coop

ArtmakerArtmaker Posts: 415
Is there any trick to winning one I don't know about? I have three farms on here, all three well over level 100. I play the wheel guy as soon as I have 8 tokens to get that extra spin but NEVER got the chicken coop. Someone told me they waited till they had like 50 tokens to play. But I don't see how that changes the odds. Same number of items per spin ya know?

Also why does it go red on the side bar sometimes? What does that mean?

To GG.... clicking on the info button might be nice if you included just how to get it. Not just specks on what it is.

    You have to save up tokens, and be rank 1to 5 to get that coop. On US1, that's over 60* tokens, and nearly at end of the time.

    Its definately easier on some servers than others & it can vary from week to week too, I went all out to get one once & spent a fortune just to end up ranked #6 & the very next time monty came around, a member of my coop got one fairly easily, so I guess I just picked a time when more had decided to play lol 8|

    You can see your current rank on the right & its pretty easy to get into the top 5, the hard part is staying there until the end, cos you will find that activity increases massively in the last hour & you can drop pretty fast unless you keep spinning to stay up there.

    Well, there is a trick. Its called buy an insane amount of gold and spend it on tokens :). Accumulating the tokens is another trick, but not good enough for irish chicken coop, I am afraid. It can help you win a silver price, though.

    As for a number of tokens it depends on who is playing this time around and on server. For the www server, you can enter the bronze league with around 20-30 coins. For silver league you require around 70 coins. If I remember correctly, the minimal number mentioned for irish coop was around 300 but you have to be very lucky indeed. It can be over 1000 as well. In other servers it is probably somewhat easier.

    Nevertheless, you can always follow what is going on on top farms on your server. When all top (insane gold buyers) players have changed all their normal chicken coops with irish ones, than maybe you can have a go. Before that I would not even try.

    sounds like I'll never get one then. I'm ranked zero. :( I have no clue how to get a rank or why I would care.
    I thought the coop was just one of the prizes in a random spin but it seems not.

    I am NOT spending any money on this game when GG refuses to put any form of safety measure in place to help prevent accidental spending.

    So I'll live without it.

    Thanks for the replies.

    You have to sort of hope that you've got more tokens than anyone else playing that round.
    On WWW1 last time I had 55 tokens along with ones won from spinning along the way of spending those 55, and I didn't win. I got the silver flag which I already had.

    You won't know how many tokens the first place people have spent unless you ask (at which point they'd obviously lie), but there is one trick you could try. Getting lots of tokens, but not spending them until the last hour or so of the event. That way you reduce the risk of someone seeing themselves drop from the top spots and buying more tokens just to regain their spot, raising the amount needed to win first place.
    Kind of like how in egg missions you don't collect the duck coops immediately because that will show what you're capable of and encourage a potential gold-skipper to skip to win. But if you wait until the last minutes, chances are the person's already sure of their victory and stopped paying so much attention. :3

    (edit: p.s. All in all it's not worth it. It's just there so that big spenders can show off how good they are at racing against other big spenders. There's nothing wrong with that, just I wouldn't bother spending all my gold on tokens in hopes of actually winning against the big sharks when I'm a tiny seal.)

    wow I just looked at the irish coop vs normal ones. Your right Niryn, NOT WORTH IT!!!!! Be nice to have but not at the cost.

    Letting that go. Good idea about playing at the last minute though. Maybe I'll get real lucky. I about danced a jig the first time I won the scarecrow. Thought that would never happen. (not really worth it either. Besides, it's kinda creepy. Looks like a dead guy climbing out of the ground.)

    Yeah, its not a random win, its a top 5 thing, and the spins I see listed here are low. As I have an iCoop, and I had well over 1500 spins... and I won't even talk about my trip into momentary insanity where I spun over 2500 times and ended up 7th....

    Well I bought about 120 tokens and I got to 56th place. Figured I would give it a try.
