2006

• so, was it just MoOdy who got this? --Evilkolbot 04:54, 9 July 2006 (CDT)
  • Apparently only ~140 obtained the trophy. Sometimes acting like a dumbass yields positive results. Huzzah! --Antipode 15:37, 16 July 2006 (CDT)

• are we sure this won't be avaialbe next 4th of july? --Duo

• Unless the code isn't implemented yet, this trophy can't be obtained by blowing of your fingers on the in-game holiday of Dependence Day. Darn. --LegendaryBard 23:15, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

2007

• it can, however, be obtained THIS fourth of july. Too bad I'm oxycore, otherwise I'd have the meat for the trophy. I'll be adding that now (and i may mess up something stupid, please edit if this is the case). --Santasassassin 23:32, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

• I blew my fingers off but the Trophy Hut guy still says I'm not entitled to any trophies. And I don't already have it, I double checked. Weird. --Jef 22:10, 3 July 2006 (PDT)
  • I tried again this morning and was able to get the trophy when I visited the Trophy Hut with the effect active. But I've also heard reports from people who have gotten the trophy after the effect wore off. Dunno. --Jef 11:19, 4 July 2007 (PDT)

• You need to go to the hut with the "missing fingers" effect. Could that be the problem you had? --Degrassi 00:22, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
  • That's not true, I just had a clannie who blew their fingers off right after rollover, they don't have the effect anymore and are still eligible. --Macman104 02:37, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

• maybe it'll be available every 4th of July. --jeremypv 00:45, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

• It's definitely using the firecracker, and not related to the effect Missing Fingers. Acquiring the same effect at Sonofa Beach doesn't grant you the trophy.--Starwed 14:14, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

• This Trophy is also available today --O 3 141592 01:33, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

• You don't have to visit the Trophy Hut with the effect even on the 4th. I'm in hardcore so couldn't really afford the trophy then, but even today with all fingers attached it's still available. I'm going to ascend and see if it carries over --Nossidge 13:40, 7 July 2007 (CDT)
  • It doesn't --Nossidge 15:26, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

2008

• Its after rollover, so as far as KoL is concerened its july 4th 2008, and I can't get it. I hope tommorow moring (real 4th of july) you can... --Co678 23:11, 3 July 2008 (CDT)
  • I just used a firecracker, got nothing. Fuck. --Missingno 23:19, 3 July 2008 (CDT)
  • Same for me... but, it's just after rollover, and technically it's not July 4th in Arizona yet, even though it is in my time zone. Can't forget to log in later today and try it again! --Sir Clement the Meek 23:27, 3 July 2008 (CDT)
    • I asked shkspr, and he told me that it should work at 12 midnight PDT. Whether he actually knows it or not, he's a mod... ДҖ--Finalheaven63^talk 00:16, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
      • It was conjecture on my part about the midnight thing. --Shkspr 02:36, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
    • Add me to the list of people who can't get the trophy. It's 2:56am in Ohio, and I have used a firecracker. No trophy. Starting to get pissed, cause I missed it last year.--Brightbutt The Defenestrator 01:57, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
      • My girlfriend is trying to get this trophy too, and it's now after 12PDT. Or MST, which is the same thing but more technically correct. She blew her fingers off after midnight, checked Trophy Hut, and there's nothing there. She's a 6th level DB on her first HC run, though I doubt any of that information is relevant. Oakianus 02:08, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
      • Seconded. 0315 EDT (0015 Arizona time), blew my fingers off--again--but still no trophy. --Deusnoctum 02:16, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
• 'tis quite possible Jick is full of fail. Won't be the first time they forgot to hit the "On" switch for some RL date related content --CheezyBob 03:48, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
  • Ditto for me, no trophy, but the snake still works. Limp zombie 05:22, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
• Same for me and qarylla. Going to try again just before rollover, in case this is a "forgot to turn on" thing and not just unobtainable.--eQerxar 05:32, 4 July 2008 (CDT)

• From the discussion on the forums (and from other people who've obtained this trophy) it becomes available after the July 4th rollover if you've used a firecracker from inventory, as long as you don't ascend. So, try the Trophy Hut tomorrow.--Ahamster 08:41, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
  • Never mind, it was a fix after all.--Ahamster 13:42, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
  • Callo, callay! It works now! I used another 'cracker and visited the Trophy Hut (still with Missing Fingers), and it worked. --Sir Clement the Meek 14:08, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
  • I concur, had to use another firecracker, went to the Trophy Hut, and finally - the trophy was there. Not sure if I could buy it another day, so I did so immediately. Was it possible to get it later? --Alibulibadaha 16:55, 4 July 2008 (CDT)
    • As long as you buy it during the same ascension you used the firecracker, you're fine. If you ascend before buying it, though, you lose it. Douglas Hossenfeffer 23:07, 4 July 2008 (CDT)

Bummer - used a firecracker right after rollover. Nothing. Used one Friday Morning. Nothing. Burned my adventures. No trophy. Now I can't get it. Sucks...--Jamfan14 18:08, 4 July 2008 (CDT)

• For the record, it looks like they've left the switch on a bit longer than normal to make up for the fact that they forgot to trigger it. I set a firework off last night right after rollover, then another earlier today around 11am EST, and neither one worked (obviously, it was before it got fixed). But I just set off another firework after rollover just now and the trophy became available. So, if you missed it yesterday because of technical problems, don't give up. Douglas Hossenfeffer 23:05, 4 July 2008 (CDT)

• • I've used them both early and late yesterday and just after rollover today, and no trophy.--eQerxar 23:34, 4 July 2008 (CDT)

I've used one before rollover on the night of July 3rd (rolling over to July 4th). I used one after rollover. I used one in the middle of the day on July 4th. I used one right BEFORE rollover the night of July 4th. Now I've used one after rollover, when this alleged extended window is open. STILL NOTHING.--Brightbutt The Defenestrator 02:12, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

• Same for me. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait another year for this one. --PoBA 05:34, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

• What a jip, burned for another year.--Xclockwatcher 22:12, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

• It says on the Article page of this trophy, that the trophy was not available this year due to a bug... Uhhhh there was no bug, Jick just forgot (somehow) that it was July 4th.--Ironcheff 23:28, 7 July 2008 (CDT)

2009

• I need to know if I need to buy the trophy before I am outta oxycore, because if I do, I need to save alot of meat...

--Manss2001 17:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• • The page says "it must be bought during the ascension in which you qualified for the trophy.", so I think you should start saving. I usually find that coming up with an extra 10k or so at the end of a run is not too hard. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 23:21, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• Well, here we go again. 5:32 Eastern Daylight Time, 4 July 2009. I just used a firecracker, and no trophy. Qaianna 09:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

• Same here...--Hrag 10:46, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

• Checked 10 minutes ago and it was unavailable. I just checked two minutes ago, and the trophy is now available. Abbywill 15:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

• CDMoyer fixed it! And better than last year, too, because he made the fix retroactive - anyone who used a firework since rollover is elligible. So I didn't have to blow off my fingers again! --Azeltir 17:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Bees Hate You

As it turns out, one cannot use a knob goblin firecracker on July Fourth in Bees Hate You, unlike various necessary quest items which will deplete all of your health and give you beaten up. --Hughdo 17:35, 3 July 2011 (CEST)
