Hello good people of Kingdom of Loathing! We're currently on another writting session! I'm GrimReaperCRO/BadgerCRO and you're currently reading my KoL diary!  New seasonal challenge path rolled out!!!! It's called Trendy. It's so shic right? Here is current info about Trendy path Trendy Path Winter 2011 Challenge You can't use IoTM's, limited content stuff older than 1 year. Today i started new path run. I was unprepared. I just jumped into. I took Accordion Thief, cause it'll be easier to have more turns buff from single summoning. Many content became unavailable so i was a bit surprised. No hatrack,for scarecrow i must summon brickos or double ice. For Xenomorph i must summon tome for fam equipment. Decided to summon jack of familiar box and go with xeno. It's a volley + fairy. I predict it'll rise a lot in price, it's kinda perfect for new path,and it's really cheap (8.2mil atm in mall) so buy while it's still cheap! I was lucky enough to pick up pumkin. You can only use them this month in new path. I summoned double ice from shower, to get hat tomorrow. This path is without mp regen fams,so mp is problem. But one good thing is you have here plenty of meat. So you can buy MP for vital skills like ode to booze or leash + empathy. I was hoping to reach lvl 5 today,and to finish this run in 8-9 days. But i was really surprised. I managed to get day 1 liver. After getting liver i had 14 more turns. So i cleared 1 subarea in crypt and got dead guy watch  Even better,i spared 2 astral hot dogs, knob pasty and 2 knob coffes  I'm so happy,cause today was easiest and best day 1 ever! I managed to get best results today,with almost no micromanagement. I hate to click and play for 3 hrs. Today took me about 90mins only,and this is farest i came ever on day 1. Before ascending today,i finished nemesis quest as AT. I also bought 5 hobopolis skills, passed trough sea quest to get donho,and activated traveling trader AT skill. I earned AT nemesis trophy for making 7 recordings of 7 AT unique buffs.  Since those skills(Hobopolis skills) are very expensive (from 200k-1.8mil) and i have a lot of banked karma (1700 approx) decided to perm them(softcore). You can't use those skills before lvl 15,so there is no use in hardcore. So i don't need them HC permed. Decided to perm them softcore,so i could farm more efficient on Crimbo. Trade it's mostly dead. I was disapponted with Jick decision to make loot unavailable for distribution and sale after november 14th. I was lucky enough to sell Necbromancer staff + shorts for 5mil. I returned at least what i spend. Also i distributed myself a sorority box. CounterClockwise Watch was sold for 255mil. So far i'm on 1.757bil liquid meat. I have 5 mr.a's prepared for december,and 3 scarecrows as investment. So far i must buy 2 scarecrows,and 1 more mr.a to have my short term goal completed(this month investment + mr.a's for next month use and investment). Decided to buy 1 mr.a for december iotm (personal use) and 5 for december's iotm investment. Rumors are that dec iotm will be garden item. It's 99.9% for sure that it'll be better than previous,so decided to have 5 a's at current price.If garden item rolls out and if it'll be better than pumpkins, Mr.A's will be over 9mil for sure,and probably at 10mil each. My goal to have 2bil on 1st january won't be achieved. That is 99% for sure,but you never know. We'll see what will happen. I have 45 days to earn 267mil meat. Cheers! |

Hello KoL-ers! I haven't wrote for a week. Not many happened in that period. Being trader is not profitable as it used to be. I still make some profit,but that's far from what i did before,and most of it comes trough investments. I still can't sell my CCW. There is less demand atm,but i'm sure someone will buy it when MMG explodes. I got 2-3 defaulted loans lately,so i made some profit. Still have to sell pen pal kit,incredibly dense meat gem,CCW and infant sandworm. I was surprised with my last run. I almost made a fistcore hardcore 4dayer. I was 6 turns short. I doubt i'll do that again,cause i had 2 stat days and was lucky with rng. I wanted to made 4 dayer,but hopefully in future i'll be able to do it. I was playing aftercore for 2 days,preparing for 11/11/11 It's ridiculous,it's not even funny. We got 11 booze or 11 food, and one of 3 items random. It was nice. Decided to do fifth and last fistcore run. Day 1 was terrible. I didn't make to get liver of still + i lost from sleeping mariachi (WTF). Luckily i don't care about this run... Cya |

Hello everyone! Few things happened since i last wrote here. November is here, and Crimbo is at doors. So Haunted Sorority House disappeared on november 1st,and new iotm came out.  Stuffed-shirt scarecrow snob trying on your pairs of pants pleased with none of them. This little fellow is called fancypants scarecrow. It's kinda sane hatrack mechanic recycle, but instead hat it wears pants. Really?! A pantsless scarecrow... WOW! At first stight i was overjoyed by this little fellow. I never thought a scarecrow will be familiar in KoL. It's my second favorite fam after Astral Badger. I believe only thing that could be over these 2 familiars is little Grim Reaper familiar. Jick if you're reading this,i want Grim Reaper familiar for Crimbo under Crimbo tree  Scarecrow is not spaded yet,but imho (from what i see on wiki) it isn't more powerfull than hatrack. It's mybe equal,or slightly worse. I'll still think about invesment in this fam. For now most certain option is 5 scarecrows. Medium investment. As soon as HSH disappeared, i ascended in HC fist run to collect some karma. I had liver day 1 first time ever. And today i beat my personal record. I finished run in 5 days. I finally reach my goal. I could reach 4 or 3 dayer,but i don't like playing 5 hrs a day kol to be optimal. This is optimal for me. Today i'll ascend again under same terms as previous run. I'll be out in 9th novembar,and i'll have a day or 2 to "prepare" for something special might be happening in KoL on 11th Novembar 2011 (11/11/11). That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. We all know about Jick's obsession with numbers,especially eleven! In trade it's fine.. It's a bit dead,but i earn some meat with rentals or some rare trade. And yeah, currently i have CounterClockwise Watch for sale. Rarest of all Ultra rares,and very powerfull(10 extra adventures at rollover). If you're interested pm me ingame with offer  This watch, rather than marking the forward march of time (which is still marching on), makes time run backwards when it's wound. And instead of numbers around the dial, it just has twelve tiny pictures of monkeys on it. See? Twelve monkeys! See? Twelve monkeys! Having this will really help you get places on time! |
