About them there Gobblers

I use snaplinks to open a bunch of ec pages to feed creatures, sometimes out of however many pages i opened i find two gobblers, the first one will count, but the second one will say theres no gobbler here, is that normal or is it because i have pages open already?

That's a good question. I get my Gobblers by feeding random coves and I'll have about three open at a time to get them finished faster, and I've had several that don't count as well. I tried just using one tab and the rate of 'No Gobblers Here' pages went down but I'd also like to know why that page exists in the first place 😊

I think the page exists so people don't ctrl+click the gobbler over and over (because it doesn't disappear when you do that).

@tetraethylammonium
It also doesn't disappear when you use the back button in the browser. I didn't even know that ctrl+click was an option. I just use the back button to return to the cove I was feeding.

What a coincidence that I'm almost done feeding your cove lol

Edit: I just fed another cove's feed list and since there were 17 creatures I open each in a new tab. Opened the last 7 together and three of them had a Gobbler, but only one counted.

I believe this happens because having multiple tabs open at the same time and clicking a Gobbler on each will make the system think you have clicked them on the same page. Basically it is just a way to make sure people don't open multiple pages and refresh over and over to get more Gobblers.

@jazzyleia

That makes sense, but it still happens every once in a while when I'm using just one tab. Not very often and I make sure to check the loaded page before going back to a different site so it doesn't it for an hour unclicked. I've lost Gobblers in the past because of that.

Hrm. opening each page individually and then checking for gobblers seems a hassle though, but i understand to avoid cheating
