Bilge

OK powers of incredibilge go through here!

I am probably the WORST leg/ult bilger in the game all I do is press a lot of buttons and clear a lot of crabs. I NEVER get bingo/didn't know you could for a long time. Maybe someone can help me refine my technique?

Well checkl the videos in www.youtube.com there are plenty of em. Also the idea is in my opinion of course, there are 2 ways to keep bilging with incredible all time (ultimate bilging).
First ye can dont like bingos, so try making combos, in no more than 3 moves, combos will come along.
Second make yer combos and take yer time to do em.

Dont know if this helps ye, but i keep my ultimate lol

I do a lot of one move combos, must have been all that time playing bejeweled. I also play SF like it was Tetris which I know = failure.

I have watched a few videos on youtube scarymuffin is pretty good.

aye he is, his videos are still out there? lol, and i miss scary now lol

scary was a good guy....to some and an ass to some...but all in all a great guy and i hated to see him go

i still have his phone lol, dotn know why cuz i never call him lol, but he is in my cel phone list

if ye can imagine a phone call from here to there, can cost me really a lot of money lol

haha yeah...i can imagine

Okay mates, as always...Tomrizzo coming to touch on an area that I'm not as strong in, which is why this time I've recruited the help of Elve, Kestral, and Fritz; premiere bilgers unlike myself. Regardless, I do have my Ultimate in Bilging and I will tell you all how to get it also. If this doesn't get you Ultimate, I don't know what will mates; many of the crew can attest: I was TERRIBLE at bilge until Fritz and Kestral taught me.

I shall start this thread off by explaining the intricacies of bilging and then move onto strategies, and then finally pictures! Which we all love to see what they look like.


Bilging

1) Bilging is very specific to how your doing constantly. You'll see one second your pump is golden, the next its blue, then golden, then brown.

2) Bilging is all about spotting Bingo's, this will certainly jumpstart your pump and make it all sparkly.

3) Bingo's or higher = Incredible. Learn to spot bingo's a mile away.


Arrr! I be new to bilge, anything for starting out?

What I do is start firing Singles in 1 move straight away, 9 times out of 10 i hit a couple of 3X3, and also by clearing quickly I clear crabs which are a god-send in terms of bonus points. I keep at this til I have sparkly, then go real slow with 1 move singles. This keeps bucket sparkly.
Works a treat - (unless you get a USELESS board, in which case you work some longer moves at the top, say in three moves, just to open up the board

After a while my Singles stop making the bucket Sparkle, why?

Okay, Bring on the Bingo's!

Okay; a Bingo in bilging is any move that is 3x3x3, 3x3x4, 3x4x4, 3x4x5, 4x4x5 or 3x5x5.
Example 1:


Okay Mates, you can see that by exchanging the blue ball with the white square you've now made a 3x3x3.

Example 2:


By exchanging the green and the blue we now have a 4x4x4


Those were sitting ducks, but a real Ultimate spots them...now for the walkthrough

Where's Waldo....I mean Bingo?

Okay, so these combo's aren't always staring you in the face. Sometimes you gotta work for them, and be able to see the whole picture. This next one shows the order in where I would move the pieces to make the Bingo.


Align the Green pieces on the far left side, then bring the Blue pentagons over, then after their are set; exchange the green and blue to get your 3x3x4.

Avast! I be the Master of the Bingo, is that all?

Nay! I tell you; if you really have a keen eye for bilge, there are such fearsome creatures as the Sea Donkey (i.e. 3x3x3x3)


and the dreaded Vegas


I leave you with these:
