Massive Catch-Up in Progress

[crossover_chick]

And my day at work was kind of sucky (had to spend it fixing a mistake I made with file formats, uuughh), so I might as well keep it short.

I will say this, though -- The Great Dragon Faire actually looks like fun. It's been a while since I full-on enjoyed an event. But this one has games, your choice of prizes, and all sorts of other neat add-ons. About freaking time.

All right, one last burst to finish off tumblr and DW, then bed. Night!

I'm stuck in the lobby for a couple hours covering for our receptionist who's on vacation so I guess it's as good a time as any to do...something. :/ Also forgive any typos because this keyboard isn't ergonamic like mine at my desk.

Apparently there's a daily cap for tickets (don't ask me what it is, though personally I had 650 before it quit) and this time it resets at 1pm instead of the morning. You seem to be right about the no limit on the party hats, though that puts a bit of a damper in my counting because I used to just go to the low-level parks in my list so I didn't have to hunt for the hats. Now I'm going to all of them and some of the parks on my FList are huge so finding the damned things is tricky. I'll surive, though.

Can you see the fireflies? They're actually catagorized as "weather" by the Weather Station.

Well, since tickets are so abundant in this event I'm not going to go crazy grinding treats for them. I'm kind of in the "if I get it, I get it and if I don't, I don't" kind of mode. Between Cooperative Breeding and Bring 'Em Back I'm not to annoyed if I don't get the new dragons. The Dragonarium already has hold spots for the newbies. Maybe Darkling is supposed to be the opposite of Halo? There's also gonna be a new Monolith and Snowflake.

What does, annoy me, however, is them sneaking in a Double Weekend when the shit doesn't reset at 12:30 like it usually does. :/

Oh well.

It's cool, I know how tricky using a keyboard in a bad place can be. *patpat*

I had 650 this morning too! And then when I hit 1,650 earlier tonight Backflip put four tickets "in reserve" for me (since my win at the challenge tent would have put me those four over) -- I just looked it up on the wiki, and apparently there's a daily max of 500 tickets on regular days and 1000 on double weekends. Soooo -- you're completely right not to worry too much about grinding treats! And you don't have to hunt hats either if you don't want. Abuse the Games Tent and such until you hit the limit, then you can leave the game alone if you like until the next cycle. :P Interesting that it refreshes in the afternoon now. . . I guess maybe they figured it should go from the actual start of the event?

Yup, I see 'em! And considering that the Twilight Tower is a potential reward in the Prize Tent, I'm holding out hope the Weather Station will be one as well eventually.

Well, this is a loooong event -- probably why there's tickets out the wazoo. I'll happily save up for all the new dragons -- those are the prizes I really want anyway. You might be onto something with the Darkling. . .we'll see! (And if it is, again, called it.)

Meh. *patpat* Well, now you know, at least?
