Maybe one of us was on vacation and didn't sign up... Hopefully, y'all won!

I highly recommend keeping smart phones away from 2 year olds. Human or otherwise... :P

That sounds foreboding about 2 year olds, Blue.

We did actually win!
Faerie Caverns boon for me:

Day 1: LLR - 894 NP! (meh)
Day 2: LRR - 1345 NP!
Day 3: RLR - 584 NP! (reallllly meh)
Day 4: RRL - 1013 NP!
Day 5: RLL - 751 NP! (Wow, this boon has been really meh)
Day 6: LLL - 1878 NP!
Day 7: LLR - 1679 NP!

Definitely one of my worse runs through this boon. Ah, well.

Easier said than done, Blue! Especially this particular 2yo (who could climb to the top bunk of their bunk beds before his first birthday). He's a third child, and the older two are ninja warriors. He's learned all their tricks and has added his own.

I also went with the caverns boon.

Day 1: 1219 (819 net) (but it was my daily route, so I would have won it anyway, and the real net benefit of the boon was zero today)
Day 2: 1903 (1503 net, 1503 net total from the boon)
Day 3: 1331 (931 net, but still only 1503 net total from the boon because it was my usual RLR again)
Day 4: 1055 (651 net, but STILL only 1503 net total for the boon because this is the third day this week I would have won anyway going my usual RLR... This is getting ridiculous!)
Day 5: 2374 (1974 net, 3477 net total from the boon)
Day 6: 2238 (1838 net, 5315 net total from the boon)
Day 7: 1290 (890 net, 6205 net total from the boon)

That's right about what I got from this boon last time. I just had bad luck with getting my usual route for half the week. Except I only got another 2401 net from those three days, so even if you counted them, my total for the week would have still been only 8606. Less than 1230 per day. Terrible boon.

Then again, I recently had that non-stamp big prize, so I suppose the overall net from this boon is pretty good. If only I ever sold anything instead of letting it rot in my SDB.

Edit: new week! Seekers, Sway, Awakened

Any of the above options are good, assuming Awakened gets good boons. I know BLP would prefer Sway as he's still got cookies left and he's been training. But Sway has lots of good boons, Seekers has the bank one, and Awakened...who knows?

No preference here. I would of course prefer to not forget signing up...

Let's go with Sway because it has BLP's preference plus the bank boon (my preference). It seems like it always has something for everyone.

Sway it is! Joining now so I don't forget.

Re: Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

Wed May 29, 2024 7:00 pm

Okay. Joining Sway myself then.

Re: Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

I've been Swayed. Bandwagon, ho!

And I did not fail to sign up! 8)

I almost forgot, but I put in some battles this evening.

I was about to go to bed and just remembered. Got the minimum in.

I almost forgot to battle this week, too. On the plus side, I did finally manage to complete several lingering projects this weekend!

Re: Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

Sway won! Went with the bank boon so I can't mess it up.

Re: Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

Mon Jun 03, 2024 2:07 pm

Also going with the bank boon. I need an easy boon this week. BLP will be thrilled, though!

I almost went with stocks, but thought about refreshed quest since I do have a few FQ cookies and the ultimate boon value is best since FQs are order of magnitude cheaper than normal stat boost methods. Then, I decided that I did not want the "extra work" this week for either of them. Bank Boon it is! ;)
