Welcome Back avid blog readers,
Things for me have been a little busy, and I have not spent as much time here on the EF and in EU as I would like. But within a few weeks things will simmer down and I should be back on track.
I must admit that I really like the recent events MA has put together. The robot invasion was definitely a crazy few weeks. All kinds of excitement, new items being discovered. Although I have yet to read about a miner finding something "Exceptional".
Just in the last few weeks Cee looted an Exceptional Optical Lens! Mack and DP shared a 15K+ HoF on an Ambu! Neo is offering great deals on mining amps in his shop at Twin Peaks and Leo won HE-MAN 2009
I'm glad Mack and Nano were there to share in his win... not to mention all of the pictures they took of the event. 
I tried to take advantage of the triple skill gains as best as I could... I did manage to gain 1HP.. But I'm not a data/stats kinda person, so I don't know where I started to see where I really made any improvement
I did take part in defending Calypso from the Robot Invasion... Loot wasn't all that fabulous, I'm pretty sure I died more than I killed... but at least I can say I was out there trying.
Next up is the Merry Mayham event!! After reading the original post, I am pleased with the improvements made from last year.. Seems a bit more tweeking is needed before unveiling the "Official" Final rules to the community.
I do think it's better that the professional levels are split into tiers and each tier has 2 mob choices based on a players professional standing. The Prizes seem very generous since the top 10 in each level get a little parting gift and the top 3 get a parting gift and an Uber prize
Unlike last year where thousands of players competed for 3 possible prizes. My only hope of winning was by default... what I mean by that is secretly hoping that everyone else would lose track of their time and lose Mwauahahaha!! But that didn't happen... Ok, sure there were many that went over their time.. but I still landing somewhere in the 1,800 position... what can you expect for killing Exa's at 1 point a piece (the Atrox were just nerfed and I chipped out) It took far too long to kill one Atrox for 3 points.
But this year I have a good chance at scoring better, well as long as I can log in everyday during the competition...Jambon was crunching some numbers the other night..figuring how much ammo it would take to kill each mob in the low class/ middle class and how much ped you'd go through during the coarse of the event... As he was trying to figure whether he should chip in a bit to make the middle class, or stay with the lower class. But that Land Area being offered is really tempting him to chip in before the event... Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Speaking of Jambon
he came back down on December 13th and will stay until January 4th 2009. We were unable to spend Christmas together last year, so we made it a point to be together this year!
Tomorrow we will be heading out for a 7 hour drive to Canada to spend the holiday with his family. I'm hoping to leave by Saturday at the latest (weather permitting). As I have to be back at my crummy job on Tuesday Dec 30th. I'd prefer to come back and have a few days to restock the fridge and unwind from all of that driving before going back to work...
It's definitely a white Christmas this year... New England saw 4-16 inches of snow Friday/Saturday and another 4-10 inches yesterday.. Depending where/ higher elevations of course... as for me... well there's a good 12 inches outside. And tomorrow seems to be the only day it won't rain/snow/sleet. I will be keeping a close eye on the weather after Christmas day and plan for our 7 hour drive back down.
As for today... well it's 9:08am and James is sleeping in a bit... I have to run a few errands including getting my laundry done and baking more goodies. I wanted to get his grandparents something... but not knowing them well enough, I was unsure what to get... After talking with James about it... seems the best thing to do is send up a box of baked goodies. Hopefully that won't be an issue crossing the border... But I'll put them in a decorative gift box and hopefully they won't want to go snooping through and taste testing...
Well, it seems I've rambled on for far too long...More power to you if you've made it through to the end of my inner monolog!
Merry Christmas....... because it's ok to say it.
And Happy Holidays.... just so I'm PC and don't offend anyone.
