Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 8]

[Blue]

Yes. Delicious cake, delightful tea and robust coffee. Strong enough to raise the dead.

ETA: Had some espresso*... and have already put in a bunch of battles! Woot!

*Not really. Actually, I had barely any coffee today.

[Pickles]

Having some caffeinated tea (for a change) and getting some battles in. Fun times. Got more than enough in, hopefully.

Ironic that the last post before the hack included caffeinated tea!

Blue consumed lots of caffeine over the last week dealing with repairing/rebuilding the site. Ugh.

Hopefully this holds. Will see in a few days.

Brutes, Order, Seekers.

I'd prefer Order or Seekers. No "lots of time required" boons this next week, preferably.

Since we DID win, unfortunately all the boons were...not the best. I went with Black Market Goods, but only actually ever restocked a single item from it. It was, however, a stamp I didn't already have, so that was awesome?

Also, SUPERHERO BLUE to the rescue of the forums!!!

[Blue]

Yay Bandwagon. Boo boons. I also went with Black Market Goods, but did not buy anything whatsoever. On the few occasions that a shop was visited, there were no black market items.

I have no opinion as to this week's battles. I need a nap...

[Siniri]

I never even made it to a shop to look for black market goods. Like the site, my car was vandalized last week. I'm still trying to figure out how to get insurance to pay for it. I just got a text saying they're mailing me a check for $222. For a catalytic converter for a second generation Prius. That's less than 25% of what they should be paying me (even factoring in my deductible). I did NOT accept that amount. (The all caps "not" was auto-capitalized by my phone... Is Google reading tone now in swipe-to-text?)

I also have no home internet until next Wednesday, so I'll be doing few battles and would prefer an easy boon. That prediction page is still batting 100%. Do you guys want to follow them again? At least Pickles got something from the last boon....

[Blue]

I am OK with whichever faction you like best

[Siniri]

My friend needs Order still, so I'm joining them. Bandwagon?

[Pickles]

Order it is. Joined!

[Blue]

Wow. It is already Sunday and I completely failed this week. *sigh*

So, I guess this post is just a reminder to battle and moral support.

Good luck y'all!

[Siniri]

Bummer, Blue. I just remembered to battle and came here to remind you guys. Off to actually battle. (But Negg Festival first!)

[Pickles]

Got a decent amount of battling done. Here's hoping tomorrow...

ETA: We won! Took the caverns boon...


Day 1: LLR - 1624 NP
Day 2: RRL - 2452 NP
Day 3: RRL - 1869 NP
Day 4: LLR - 2036 NP
Day 5: RLR - 1370 NP
Day 6: RRL - 2011 NP
Day 7: LRL - 5000 NP

Surprisingly decent numbers every day? No 10k's, nor the stamp, though. Stocks/Bank are still worth way more, at least, without that stamp...

Carto boon.

Day 1: 581 (181 net) Boo. Hopefully it will only go up from here.
Day 2: 568 (168 net). *Cough* I spoke too soon... Has anyone ever won less than they paid to play?
Day 3: 1047 (647 net) Better....
Day 4: 518 (118 net) Apparently yesterday was a tease. I'll take a stamp as a BLB tomorrow, please! edit: And then this turned up on the next page...The Bug Brothers jump up and steal 634 NP!! That's more than I won!
Day 5: 2067 (1667 net) That's more than days 1-4 combined. Pretty pitiful round unless I can get a big gold chest or item in the last two days.
Day 6: 1140 (740 net) One more day for redemption...
Day 7: 1108 (708 net) Bringing me to a grand total of...
4229 net (adding in my head while distracted, but it's in the correct ballpark)

Bah humbug.

Congrats for the win. Boo on the Carto Boon.

Here's hoping for a stamp for each of you!

[Pickles]

Seekers, Awakened, Thieves.

Pretty much OK with any of the above. We couldn't hit bad boons twice in a row for Awakened, could we?
