Me too. A big dumb Toad Coach named BigCecil. Uh, what now?

BigV · 06-16-2005, 10:13 PM

Cute. Level 2 Skink Trainer. Goody for me!

BigV · 06-16-2005, 10:27 PM

then, CLICK. the lights when out. maintenance, they say. *sheesh*

Happy Monkey · 06-16-2005, 10:29 PM

It's jick (the creator of the game) painstakingly giving everyone more adventures one by one.

BigV · 06-16-2005, 10:37 PM

you're not zerious. just resetting the adventure count to the daily default (80) right?

BigV · 06-16-2005, 10:39 PM

hmmm. is it reasonable to expect to wait around for the lifeguard to whistle us all back into the pool, or should I just go to sleep and check again tomorrow?

cowhead · 06-17-2005, 05:26 AM

it re-sets at around 10:30pm EST (if you look in the forums they have a cool map and everything!) so perhaps sleep would be best, as for me it's almost 5:30 AM and sign of sleep in sight.. damn insomnia!

cowhead · 06-17-2005, 05:28 AM

I'll head for the clan once I hit 6th.. chunk_hugelarge by name, drinkin' and disco is my game!.. wait.. that's not quite right

Happy Monkey · 06-17-2005, 06:19 AM

Actually, the daily adventure count is 40. 80 is the day one bonus. (yes, I was joking about jick doing it one by one). Maintenance is nightly, and usually doesn't take more than half an hour.

Should have mentioned my character's names: Olofik and Nataya.

FINALLY out of Ronin! Now I can finally start trying to make some meat with all the stuff I had lying around. The only big-ticket item I have is a Bow (350K or so), but a hundred-plus Little Paper Umbrellas (I can _make_ them now? Whoa) + cheap bottles of booze in the Mall == some profit, even if the umbrella drinks cost a fraction of what they once did.

perth · 06-20-2005, 03:05 PM

I made a lot of money off White Canadians, simply because they're needed for a trophy. Last time I sold one (shortly before ascension) they were going for 5k. Which is hilarious, because I think anyone can make them.

Happy Monkey · 06-20-2005, 03:13 PM

I made several thou as a newbie by having my Turtle Tamer sell can lids, and my Pastamancer sell firecrackers, and they're quite easy to get. I guess when you've got millions in meat, a few thousand meat is cheaper than wasting adventures in first-level areas.

At some point I should probably read the instructions rather than just happily playing along.

But hey, I figured out how to join the clan, and tithed. One thing at a time.

Happy Monkey · 06-21-2005, 09:36 AM

The instructions are useful, but not necessary. The majority of the game involves trying to figure out how things work together.

As an aside, it took me forever to get the pun in the name of the dwarven mine. I thought it was "It's not your zits", and I was wondering why the dwarves cared about acne...
