Secret #9

[evil_dolphin]

Have got a little confused by the wording from the guide - Unlocks after not using Time Flux or Offline Flux for 7 days straight

does this mean i must not use either of the fluxes?

Or does it mean that i can use one and not the other for 7 days?

Not sure why the wording would be confusing, the "or" in this case means using either of them will reset the hidden "days without using" counter.

It's like when they tell you you shouldn't kill or steal. Sure the punishment varies for either of them (or for doing both) but there's a punishment either way (if you get caught,) the "or" does not mean you aren't breaking the law if you only do one of those things.

oh its because i know some people would use it in a way that meant both & some would use in a way that meant either, its like a regional variation thing, thats the trouble with the english language, depending on what region a person is from things can sometimes be open to interpretation and can get a bit confusing even when english is your first language, so i just wanted to double check

Thanks for the clarification

Fyi: for some people this secret seems to be bugged (including for me).

Sometimes grammar is weird. It could be parsed as meaning either of the two rather than both. For example; requiring photo ID, a passport or drivers license is needed, but only one of those is necessary to fulfill the requirement.

Gross. I've been sitting on my time so I could get the secret... I thought I'd passed the time needed. Good to know that I was right, and it's just bugged. Might as well spend it to get past the slog I find myself in.

what about offline flux? did you use that?

[Storm0267]

i had offline flux turned off. so that wassent used either.
ya use no flux for 7 days, i had offline flux off, and ignored flux entierly until the achivement triggered. i spent 99% of my awake time not in the game so i probably at most had an hour of active online gameplay. the rest i was offline

In the same boat as you. Haven't spent a single speck of flux since the update dropped with offline flux set to off. Most my time is spent offline and just poking back on for the daily reward. Still hasn't popped and driving me mental.
