Was able to get from the airship all the way to ascending in one day. Granted, I started the day with 170 adventures, and got an extra ~75 from my pasta dishes, but still&#8230; I had amazing airship luck. Used my spooky fairy, and got all the drops I needed along the way to getting the 4 immateria and S.O.C.K. Had good luck in the castle&#8230; got enough muscle non-combats to gain 4 muscle stats while getting all the drops needed while turning the wheel to get the egg. Got slightly screwed in the hole when it took a while for the third star chart to drop (ended up with something like twice as many stars and lines as I needed), but that&#8217;s ok. My chef-in-a-box exploded just after I made my last necessary potion (yay for weird food!). Had to go back to the valley to get &#8216;n&#8217;s, but it only took 10 adventures to get the two I needed. Sorceress went down first try (yay thrust-smack!). Woot.<\/p>\n<p>Today Vicki and David came over and we played Risk. It is incredibly scary to see an army of ~12 cannons (120+ units) marching across North America and Asia&#8230; especially when you&#8217;re the one trying to hold Asia. Oh well. Was a good game though. I don&#8217;t know if I like this style of playing (draw a card every time you conquer a country; trade in at any time during your turn; redeployment phase limited to one country&#8217;s troops across one border) or the style I played at CMU (draw one card at the end of your turn if you attacked at all; trade in at the beginning of your turn; unlimited redeployment of all troops across any distance). This style lets the game turn around really quickly&#8230; all you have to do is conquer a bunch of small countries (easy in Asia, where borders are drawn weird) and trade in to get huge armies&#8230; Vicki basically conquered the other half of Europe, North America, and Asia (or would have if I hadn&#8217;t surrendered) in one turn since she kept on getting cards and trading in. She ran out of yellow troops and had to start using green. Meh.<br \/>\nOh yes, and I still get horrible defense rolls. Bleh.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s going to be my goal to post one picture in every post from now on. Not necessarily a photo&#8230; but at least some kind of image (just because I&#8217;ve been doing it lately, and it adds something to posts besides boring text).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images\/DSC_0403.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAlso adding a <a href=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/?page_id=62\">new page<\/a> to archive all the used photos, I guess. Whee.<\/p>\n<p>What else&#8230; um&#8230; graduation last night was fun, but I already wrote about that. <a href=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\">Photos<\/a> are up. You should go look at them.<\/p>\n<p>Fixed my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alanv.org\/forum\">forums<\/a> after they&#8217;d been dead for a couple months. Not that anyone cares, since no one ever uses them anymore. Had to actually go in and hack the database since the upgrade somehow screwed up and didn&#8217;t upgrade the tables properly (and screwed up the theme I was using). Then had to hack at the script itself a bit too. Meh. At least it works now.<\/p>\n<p>Props to anyone who can identify all the &#8220;This is a title&#8221; post title languages over the past few days. I&#8217;ve just been using online translation sites. Whee. Also props to people who give me good suggestions for post titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was one of my best KoL nights ever.
