Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

[Siniri]

I got 25 battles in today (for NP).

[Pickles]

Got some battling in today. So. Tired.

[Siniri]

Seekers won! Don't forget to claim your boon before dailies! I went with bank boon.

[Pickles]

Woot! Makes it feel like the battles I eeked in yesterday worth it. I claimed boons before I collected interest.

[Blue]

Yay! But.. of course I already collected interest

[Siniri]

Oops, totally forgot to pick a faction this round, and battling is nearly over. Guess I'll have to remember next Monday after boons are done.

[Blue]

I completely forgot about signups until late Thursday. Then I put it out of my mind completely.

Next time

[Siniri]

Today and tomorrow are both crazy busy for me, but I wanted to make a note here that we need to pick a faction this week while it's on my mind.

Now to start my dailies list. Basically at bedtime.

Edit: Sway, Thieves, Brutes

Edit: I ended up joining Sway for the hopefully easy bank boon but need to battle tomorrow. None so far. Eek!

[Blue]

I chose Sway as well. So far I have managed a Baker's dozen.

[Siniri]

I woke up after falling asleep last night and got 23 battles in with about five minutes to spare.

Brutes won. At least I got a Christmas Zafara Picture Frame, which is worth more to me than most of Brutes' boons.

Next time, maybe I'll remember to sign up and get a decent number of battles in.

[Blue]

Meepit Painted Rock for me. Ditto on the number of battles.

ETA: New Week, New Selection... Thieves, Order & Awakened

[Siniri]

Hmm. Order has refreshed quest, cartographication, and the intriguing double bubble (now that I know it can work on stat-boosting magical potions and morphing potions). With the anniversary happening during the skirmish, and codestones still not dropping fast enough, plus the potential for higher boosts... *Checks SDB* I already have five FQ cookies.

Thieves has the stock boon, which is only worth 35k for the week, and I guess the scratchcard boon? Meh.

And awakened could have several good choices -- or none.

Blue, I have 2 more strength serums, 1 swamp water, and 8 bullseye potions if you're interested in double bubble, you have a pretty high chance (58-80%) of getting at least 1 of the good potions doubled + 2-3 extra bullseyes if you're willing to try your luck, which could be 72k to 100+k, and even more if you have other potions saved. Or you could wait until you have a lot more potions stocked after the plot resumes.

I want to morph my rosy pet Kiko, and even though it's only a 25% chance, the cheapest Kiko mp is so expensive, it might be worth gambling. Especially if I'm going to morph some of my other pets, too. And if I'm going to play in the BD and might need to use more healing potions... But will I get to those next week?

Even if not, a bit of extra stats sounds fun. So I'm leaning Order, but I'm open to other ideas.

[Pickles]

Order sounds good to me. I know BLP would be happy with a FQFC. I'd do carto, just for the chance to get that elusive stamp (let's be real, ain't gonna happen, but...pipe dreams).

I wouldn't do bullseyes potions. In theory, they're supposed to net positive, but apparently people have been tracking them and they've been netting negative consistently.

[Siniri]

I know Blue likes cookies, too, at the very least, so I'm going to go ahead and join Order while I'm thinking about it. My apologies for deciding, but I don't want to fall asleep again again again and miss sign-ups. I really can't wait until I can finally get to the doctor and figure out what's wrong with me. Only a month away now...

That's good to know that Blue's experience wasn't unique. I wonder if the ratio got adjusted somehow, and if TNT would be willing to tweak it? It's cruel to give out a potion that's actually taking stats away on average during a plot. They'll just be hanging out in my SDB until they get adjusted or the servers shut down.
