? Sounds like a weird glitch. Provided you log on under your own username, presumably the game should recognize you're a different player.
I'm only assuming it is a silly glitch, i.e., sloppy programming by that/those game's makers. If it affects multiple games however, hm. I'm no Flash programmer, so it is just a guess. Maybe others here can tell if that's normal behavior, give them some time to answer, and weekends are slow here.
You could try and clear your cache and history and cookies and the whole shebang, but be careful please: Cleaning up the so-called Flash cookies (more technically known as LSO's), which is pretty easy to do if you don't know what you're doing, you'll be deleting all off your offline savegames on that machine while you're at it and which they're stored in, and if you don't exclude the sites you want to keep them for; so ArmorGames, in this case.
The result, incidentally, would or should be that you can now play those games afresh; but so would your brother have to, and for any sites he has any stored information for, such as savegames (or passwords, or forms, or settings, etc.), and he might not be very pleased with it Same for anyone else using that machine, maybe your parents or so.
I think Dapro is not too unhandy at these things, maybe consult him first?
I'm going to assume that you're both sharing the same computer. Then both of you have access to the same game data (local, stored in your computer) and that's why you're always getting the quests. I guess this doesn't happen if your brother uses an online save, does it?
The only idea I have at the moment is what Macll is suggesting (deleting your local save files before attempting to play a game with quests). Obviously, I don't think Dapro would like this
Okay so Hikakin got me here... I think I actually asked this question before lol. But yeah I don't really want to delete my local save files... xD I'll try to get him to use IE instead of chrome but on my computer IE is really slow lol.
the easiest way to get around this is by using a different browser
Excellent suggestion, hadn't occurred to me. (I'm still a little baffled though to learn these games can't differentiate between different players on the same set-up, for their offline savegames. What's up with that?! Doh.)
Dapro, yeh; try some other browser, rather than IE. I reckon Firefox and without a ton of bells & whistles pasted on to it should be pretty spiffy.

On second thoughts though, do separate browsers really store them separately? I thought nowadays Flash Player handles it of its own, so stores them in the same location, independent of browser.
Hm. I'm not testing it now, and I may very well be wrong.

Yup! Most browsers use a different location for cookies, flash games use cookies to store important data between plays. This way game data from one browser won't overwrite those from another. While it's difficult to speak for every browser option out there, all of the major browsers do use different cookie locations and it's generally considered best practice not to share a storage location between two programs.
... Still though; today I was toying around with BetterPrivacy (great tool, it looks like so far) & it sunk again that as per W'edia on it, as far as I can tell LSO's are all in the same main directory.
Nor have I ever noticed them being separated there according to browser. Now I am again not testing this but so it's conceivable separate instances of a game may be stored separately; but if so, again I fail to see why this set-up can't differentiate between different players on the same machine.
it's no great issue, mind (although certainly it might be if I were a game nut sharing a box with say my siblings or so), just curious.
