MEET THE WEATHER GIRLS!

They're swallowtail butterflies! They will start being available to win as of 8pm EST tonight (Monday 23rd May 2016).

So they're Weather Girls, and you can win them, so there has to be a Weather Game! That's right - there will be. It will be the login bonus for the stand alone site. We will make the stand alone site available tonight as of 8 p.m. EST by revealing how to create a stand alone account. Then each day you visit the stand alone site, you will get a login bonus - you will be told the weather where your pet lives (which can be totally different to the weather where anyone else's pet lives!)

You will always get a daily bonus of Frank 'n' Cents or Silver Moles for being logged in on the stand alone site - and you will also have a CHANCE of winning a butterfly (in size 4, 7, 10 or full size) or winning a weather-related prize.

Lots of developers have login bonuses for their stand alone sites. This is ours. We have had the stand alone site in test for almost six months; the delays have been due to very minor problems which were very difficult to eradicate. After six months of testing, our testers report the game runs noticeably faster on stand alone (because it doesn't have to run through Facebook). Some say 25%, one even said twice as fast!

If any future FB requirements create problems for PnF, the stand alone site will be unaffected. If FB ceased to exist, the stand alone site would carry on running for those who have stand alone accounts. This has been our key objective from the beginning. You should not have to be afraid of losing your pet, your friends or your money just because FB didn't create a proper security model on day one, or because a developer cannot cope with making changes to support FB's new security model.

Now that we have a stand alone site, you need never fear that. Up until now you had to believe that Al and I would be able to deal with anything FB threw at us. But from tonight, people who don't about know us and all we have done, will not have to trust us to cope with FB - the stand alone site is their (and your) guarantee of being able to play no matter what FB do or don't do.

On the stand alone site, you do not have to see FB adverts - and the Paypal link is openly displayed in the 'gold' shop. (We are not allowed to do that in the FB version of the game). Also you will find some other features run smoother because we are not having to program around the restrictions imposed by the Facebook iframe.

Stay logged in to the forum, and at 8 p.m. tonight, we will tell you how to get a stand alone account. It's very simple. And if you do have any problems, all our admin already have an account and can explain anything which puzzles you.

Celebrate! We are no longer doomed to live in fear of things which are out of our control - and your friends, who have been afraid, need fear no longer. At first we will be requiring an FB account before users can have a stand alone account, but that is purely to give us some protection from multi accounting until our multi-account detection software can be implemented.

We will, over time, simplify getting a forum account, uploading icons to it (and thus to the stand alone site), and all other necessary forum-driven functions (such as 'change password' and 'recover password'). But in the meanwhile, you can enjoy all the advantages of the stand alone site, and get cool gifts from the Weather Game for doing so.

Hi nanna,

What is it that you cannot get into? The FB app? The stand alone site? Something else?
