Feels more like a slap in the face if you ask me.

Congratulations! The worst possible scenario happened to you!!!

This is a "consolation prize" kind of achievement, there's plenty of them :P but they're always amusing.

That got a pretty good laugh out of me. Considering the number of cats I've had to hire over the last year, I'll take that congratulations, thankyouverymuch :D

I remember when I got this. I was a little upset I had missed 3 times in a row, but then I saw this and couldn't help but laugh. XD

I haven't gotten this one, but I got the one for getting 3 puzzle pieces I already had in a row.

Sad times.

This is an easy accomplishment.

Go into Find Mii II, and hire a yellow Mii and some others. Don't Venture Forth, though! Back out.

Go into Find Mii (not II), since that's where you get the accomplishment (so no, green slimes can't help you here), and have the yellow Mii cast Sandstorm and have the other Miis just attack. Eventually, one will miss three times.

Easy. Actually, any Find Mii accomplishment is easy just by hiring the guys you need in Find Mii II first.

... I think you miss the point.
The point is not to work to get that achievement.
It's to happen to get it after an otherwise frustrating event. When it happens, you are frustrated, even maybe angry, but when you see this pop up, you can't keep from laughing/smiling, asking yourself: "Really? There is an achievement for THAT! xD"

I've gotten the "bad" -accomplishments- before.

"Funny," was my reaction. Not something I thought to share with the world.

I thought the point of accomplishments is to accomplish them all...whether it's work or not...

I never did miss three times inadertently, so I felt I had to "figure out" how to do it, when I read that it was an accomplishment.

Though I admit it may be cheating where me and my co-worker repeatedly changed regions so we could "meet" people from ten countries and fifty regions. :P

lol I already got that achievement. :P

@JonLeung
You know, I think the pink shirt Miis are your best bet to get the achievement by using their magic ("the most daring attack"). I assumed because I used their magic three different times and each of those times, the Miis missed hitting the enemy entirely. (That's how I got the achievement. :P)

@Mirr0rR3flection
Those... Those are a female dog to beat.

Lol. I saw that on the achievments list, haven't had it happen yet. I have got the get the same puzzle panel 3 times, and that's happened to me multiple times, it's pretty infuriating actually.
I think the green slimes are easy to hit as long as you are using level 1 heroes. Took me a while to figure it out though.

It'd be funnier if it said "COMMISERATIONS!" instead of congratulating you :P
