Tuesday: Bought 1k of LDSC at 10NP
ETA2-
Wednesday: Bought another 1k of LDSC at 10NP
ETA3-

Bought it despite the Water Park has had a lot of backlash following a series of tragic accidents...

I've managed to buy stocks at 10 every day so far, too.

(But I'm mostly posting to say that I've always wondered whether PEOP was based on New Jersey's Action Park, home of the infamous first loop-de-loop water slide, which was so poorly designed that an escape hatch had to be added to the top to help an early rider who got stuck inside the loop:)

That slide looks scary

I enjoy loop-de-loop roller coasters, but a water slide? Just seems like a horribly terrible idea. Especially since it's a tube.

Thanks for posting every day, Blue. It helped remind me to buy my stocks (I've been to busy to do most of my dailies most days this week) - much less at the right price!

No problem on the posting, Siniri. It helped me make sure I was buying daily as well.

Loop-de-loop roller coasters are good. Knott's Berry Farm in California used to have a good one, Montezooma's Revenge. It was pretty much just accelerate like crazy, loop-de-loop, go up, then do it again backwards... three of four times in a row.

Then there's Boomerang (also at Knott's): Double loop-de-loop and forwards/backwards

Thieves, Brutes, or Seekers. I have no idea how I'll manage to battle this week, but I'll try.


ETA: I joined Seekers, since I like the bank boon. Hopefully I'll have time to battle, but with the holidays...we'll see.

Okay, I'll join Seekers, too, since I forgot to vote (I would have preferred the Thieves).

I failed to sign up for any factions this week. Too much going on with the holidays. Good luck to all y'all!

Brutes won, so I got a consolation prize. Considering I only managed 50 battles, I'm glad I at least got something.

Also got the consolation prize. Seeing as I only managed 25 battles....yeah, probably didn't even deserve that. Guess we'll have to do better next time!

I have to work a ton tomorrow, so I just signed up for Sway. I figured since they have the bank boon, the stock boon, and the black market boon (i.e., something for everyone), you guys might not be mad that I made a unilateral decision... (Of course you can always take the bandwagon elsewhere and leave me to fight on my own... but hopefully I've persuaded you with good boons (pun totally intended)).

I had a ton of work yesterday covering for a slacker... Hopefully not as bad today, but I am signing up for Sway right now... Except that apparently today is Thursday and signups are closed. :x

Good luck everyone!

Well, I had free time this evening (?!?!) and I went ahead and got my minimum battles done (that is to say, 50 against each). If I have more time in the next few days, I'll do more, but at least I didn't forget this time!

I only managed 60 battles thanks to a busy schedule + lots of lag, but apparently it was enough! Sway wins!

I went with the stock boon.
