Wow congrats. The most I've ever saved is 11-ish mil and that was only to spend it on a SoS when i got there. I have trouble getting over 2 mil lately and haven't even bought Christmas gifts yet.

I have a bunch of little achievements.

1) My account finally turned 4 months

2) Snow Paintbrushes have gone down in price so I painted Gianche my poogle.

3) I got 5 new avatars ( Snowbunny, Hidden Tower, Jetsam Chomp, Gruslen and Codestones)

Gruslen avatar was a suprise. I thought the petpet had to be older.

is FC only worth it if you have an old account? How much you can bet depends on account age right? My account is 3 months.

Achievement: I hit 20m pure today.

....I hate you.

You make earning NP, and winner submissions look so easy. I've never in my life seen someone go from 0-20 mil in 3 months. You don't need FC. And yes, the older your account is, the more you can place on each bet. Ideal if your account is at least 3 years old. I made somewhere in the neighborhood of 900K this month, and I'm trying to resist complaining because I didn't bet yesterday. <-----very greedy.

Haha I'm sure there are some of those crazy RSer/auction sniping types that can make way more than I did in that time span. But I'm pretty happy!! I remember when a faerie pb seemed impossibly far away.

I think I'll skip on the FC then, I can only do 266np per bet.

Today is a very " " sort of day! 2nd in random contest, got into poetry, got published in the NT -- and it was a special issue, so we got prizes; everyone got a plushie pb. Yay for deflating prices! (Last time it was a pirate paint brush for a special issue... though looking at the prices now, it was only a temporary fix.)

ACFI hit 61:

1 1000 shares of ACFI Sold 1000 shares of ACFI for 61000 NP.
2 1000 shares of ACFI Sold 1000 shares of ACFI for 61000 NP.

I saved 4k shares in case it goes higher.

Thanks for posting, Mellaka :D sold what I got and made a pretty penny!

Woes: I had to spend another 300k for a kacheek transmogrification potion. I swear, my lab only changes specie when it knows I am target zapping. The Bruce on my side account? It has been a Bruce for at least two months. And this is the second time Zanvi has changed this month.

Huzzah: I have been working on trying to get some flash game trophies. I have been averaging 230 something in Revel Round up with a high score of 240. From what I saw at the start of december, I think I will be able to get a top score in the first couple days of January. Maybe Time Tunnel too.

[Pfizzgig]

Huzzah! The crazy old bat finally took a liking to my stream of nonsense and gave me the avatar

King Hagan listens contentedly to your words of wisdom...

"There's something to be said for hard work are comparable to the quickness of a family of aubergine Abominable Snowball" you declare perceptively.

[Seerow]

Aww, I missed Citian turning 1337 days old. He's 1339 now. Ohh wells.
FC hasn't been very kind the past few days, I've lost all my bets for the past twothree days. Guess that's to be expected though after that great run we had.

[bluelightning]

Woe: my lab NEVER changes my pets colour or species. It's been like that for over a month, probably 2 months now. Its annoying and getting really boring. I wanted to get a lab on a side account but I don't think it's worth it

[Michelle]

The ray is fired at Zovio...

...and he changes color to Snot!!!

Well, uhm, I'm glad it's a color zap being his first zap but I don't think I can stand the amounts of snot dripping from him xD

Merry christmas/happy holidays to all!

Spoiler: open/close

Go me! I had no idea you could get 1 mil np - I thought halloween pb was the top prize. Heh, for a second there all those zeros looked like 10 mil to me and I was already creating custom draiks in my head and trading them for UC grey scorchios... I'll take a free mil any day though

[varii]

! I was sitting playing coconut shy completely ignoring my computer screen watching House and I was telling my mom and boyfriend how I was never going to get the stupid avatar when my peripheral vision realizes I am no longer throwing coconuts. Because I had knocked it down. Finally, one less annoying daily to do.

[Jamie]

WOAH! Congrats zebru!! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person!

[Usul_Princess]

Wow, Zebru! What game were you playing?

Stupid woe: I wasted 95K on Thick smoke bombs trying to beat the snowbeast with only fiery gaze and diamond dust as my "freezers". *sigh* oh well. (Got him down to 22/300 though!) So it *can* work, but it's not worth wasting all those NP.
