Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 7]

[Pickles]

Sigh. A lot of work for nothing. I don't think I can put that many wins in again anytime soon, anyways - it's making my hand hurt.

[Blue]

Bummer. [Best Charlie Brown voice I can do]: I got a rock.


Meepit Painted Rock

[Pickles]

Awakened, Brutes, or Thieves.

Thieves or Awakened would be my preference. Brutes = meh.

[Siniri]

I always like Awakened; they usually have at least one good boon.

[Daze]

I do need wins against the Brutes, Thieves boons don't really appeal to me, so I am going with Awakened, and take a chance with the random boons.

[Siniri]

Alright, bandwagon ahoy on the Awakened ship!

[Pickles]

*headdesk* Forgot to sign up. Ah well. This weekend is going to be crazy anyway. Probably better that I didn't.

[Blue]

Oh, man. Sounds like the wheels fell off this week! I failed to sign up as well. It has been a crummy week so far.

Hey, P. This week, let's work on putting the wheels back on with improved bearings and stronger fasteners. Perhaps the wagon will then be in better shape next time

Good luck, Siniri & Daze!

[Siniri]

I chose the wheel boon, which I was initially unenthusiastic about, but thanks to careful planning and copious use of a timer, I managed to spin a bunch of times over the week and netted more than I do with the stock or bank boon.

Here's the final tally (all values are net winnings after subtracting the cost of the spin):
WoK: 14 spins, -3,175 NP (horrible luck compared to average)
WoMon: 14 spins, 12,350 NP (great luck compared to average)
WoExcite: 86 spins, 29,901 NP (a bit better luck than average)
WoMed: 209 spins (I forgot to record the second spin one evening), 87,910 NP, ( a bit worse luck than average)
Total Direct (Net) Wheel Winnings: 126,986 NP
+2.2M (faerie petpet paintbrush RE while spinning WoMed)
==================
2,326,986 NP because of the wheel boon (even without the PB, 127k is awesome for a weeklong boon)

[Daze]

I picked BMGs boon. Had a fantasic restock session, grabbing quite a few unbuyables.

~~~~~~~~

This weeks challengers: (I like Seekers for the book smarts boon, as I have another 150 books stored up).

Seekers:
Bank Bribery, Book Smarts, Right Round Round Round, Strength of Mind.

Brutes:
Doppelgänger, Equip ALL THE THINGS, GRRRAAAAHHHHHH!, Right Round Round Round, Scratch Master.

Thieves:
Cheaper by the Dozen, Doppelgänger, Five-Finger Discount, LOL AVIES, Scratch Master.

[Siniri]

Daze, I'd choose BMGs if I were in a time zone where I could be awake at midnight NST, but 3am is just too late to stay up and too early to wake up. (I did try it once, waking in the middle of the night hoping to get the chocolate avvie, but there was nothing of sufficient rarity in the chocolate shop. I did snag some unbuyables in other shops, but nothing too stellar, if I recall correctly.) Congrats on the success with that boon.

I like Seekers for the bank boon, but I'd be okay with Thieves for the stock boon. The wheel boon was profitable last time, but I don't like having to schedule my day around it just to spin the stupid wheels. Brutes' other boons are all terrible.

[Pickles]

My preference would be Seekers, for the bank boon. As always.

[Blue]

I ended up selecting Thieves. Just 'cause they are the best guild of all.


...and I was in a hurry today.

[Pickles]

Managed to get in my minimum, but won't be doing anymore.
A bit grumpy, as I got this RE while battling:

*labbie* loses 2 strength and says: It's been so long since I trained I feel a bit weak. Can I do some strength training?

Meh.

[Blue]

Went to battle this evening. Site way too laggy to bother. Maybe tomorrow.
