Abducted with the cheap telescope?
TreyNutz:
I thought you couldn't, but an awful lot of people have been claiming recently that you can. Anyone know why? Is it really a much lower chance with the cheap telescope? Or just some glitch?
I thought someone at variousimmers.net once said that abductions were disabled with the cheap telescope (on Pescado's old Myth thread which I think has been deleted). Is this true?
I've thought that clueless people assume that since the boolprop cheat works on the cheap telescope, then abductions are possible, but maybe I'm wrong. I tested it once, and got no abductions under conditions that usually give me 6 or 7. But if the rate really is very low with the cheap one, then I wouldn't have picked it up.
So, any thoughts? Anyone actually have a normal, non-cheat abduction with the cheap telescope?

I've had one... once... pre-uni...

That's really strange..I thought it was totally impossible..unless it is of course possible but the rate is just so low that it's basically a freak occurance. Heck the rate with expensive telescope is low enough to make abductions at all a freak occurance in my game.
I wouldn't waste my time trying to figure out if it was true or not lol

I can't speak for the cheap one, but I think they may have tweaked some stuff with the abductions in NL. I just had my first non cheat abduction recently (a teenage girl with the expensive telescope) and I wasn't even trying. Thing is, I had tried and tried and tried for the longest time and eventually gave up and all the sudden I get NL and bam, and abduction pretty much the first time I used the thing since installing NL. It could well be a coincidence though. *shrug*

Well, if it's true, I'd like to update my Abduction Guide on the BBS.
I've boolproped an abduction on the cheap telescope once before, and I remember that the animations (especially the hand placement) were clearly meant for the expensive telescope. So I've assumed that abduction was meant only for the expensive one, or else there would an be appropriate animations for it.
