Loops and Loopholes

   I've mentioned a few time on this blog that I have a glitch whenever I play Candy Crush Saga via Facebook, one that I try to exploit as much as I can.  Because if this glitch, which only appears when I play using my Mac's Safari browser, I can gain infinite lives and maintain very long winning streaks.  I also can receive limitless boosters.  I don't know how it happened, but I love it.  I sign into Facebook and then log in to the game.  I play an easy level I already played, usually 6000.  If I win, then the game activates as if it was the first time I played it that day, even if it isn't.  If I win, I continue playing.  If it looks like I will lose, I log out of the game and Facebook.  I then leave the browser and open another browser, which I usually immediately close. Note that I don't have to go into Facebook or the game on the second browser to use this glitch.  I then go back to Safari, Facebook, and Candy Crush where everything starts over.  Now, this glitch has had its downsides.  For one, ongoing challenges wouldn't always activate, as the game would think I was just starting for the day, instead of going forward.  I need to log out of the game after an extra win or two, to make sure a challenge activates.  Sometimes, different challenges would be running on different browsers, at the same time, even when only one level should be going on.  This doesn't always work, but it allows for some unusual playing.  For instance, if a timed bonus starts just before I log out, it can automatically reactivate when I log back in.  Just this past Monday, I used the glitch to stretch a on hour bonus with boosters to over five hours and multiple booster bonuses. I almost had double digit flying saucers this way.  This biggest gain was in the daily log in bonus, which would activate every time I used the glitch.  This allowed me to stockpile thousands of the striped/wrapped duo booster.  Unfortunately, I was stuck on the first day.  That's one of the reasons why I started using a second browser, just so I could get the rest of the cynical bonuses.  That all ended a little over a week ago.  The game changed from a fixed cycle of bonuses to a random selection, with the caveat that the possible bonuses get bigger with each consecutive day.  So, instead of getting booster x on day one and y the next, I could get any among a bunch of boosters, sometimes repeating on consecutive days.  While this isn't technically bad, it is unaffected by the glitch.  I now only get one chance, apparently per browser, per day.  My stockpiles will no longer be growing as fast.  With the glitch, I could use the primary striped/wrapped bonus every first time I open a level and never have my stockpile drop.  Now, I need to be more careful with booster management, at least a little.  I still have a huge stockpile of many of them, after all.  Also, this glitch doesn't always work.  If I make a mistake, a lose my winning streak bonus, currently over 400.  It maxes out after five wins, but it still takes work if I have to start over.  I have a strong feeling that I accidentally did something to cause this glitch, so it probably only works on my computer, and only on this Candy Crush game on not any of the others I also play.  Or even on other similar games, although they have been known to act strangely if I log out before I actually lose a level.
