  • I have always thought that successful orgs should be taxed with upkeep commensurate with the greater benefits they reap. Rather than throwing bonus on top of bonus, success should give opportunities to invest in perks.

  • Village commodities are not infinite, though, and unlike with gem-mines, their production quantities can be monitored and adjusted by the administration.

    Turn them off entirely for a while (leave the manual quests), in conjunction with im…

  • TFW you finish reading a book, and the author hasn't published any more books. :(
  • Just make the gold cookies negate the gold-debuffs. Ur'traps are expensive for what they do, unless something major has changed, and gold-cookies have always been the least popular.

    Effectively-infinite commodities are a major problem in …

  • Apparently they're semi-regular at the pokemeccas. I hear all kinds of stuff about snorlax, dragonite, gyarados. These places are 20-30 minutes away from me though, so it's not really practical to go just for 2-3 hours of pogo before my battery dies…

  • @Siam From your list, I've caught onyx and omanyte off lures, one porygon in the wild (and one from an egg). I've heard plenty of chatter about gyarados, mostly of t…

  • Nah, it was an enemy gym. I just don't really understand how it's supposed to work. Apparently you're supposed to just tap the screen (tap the enemy? Tap your guy? Tap anywhere? IDK) and then when your special move is powered up you tap and hold. (w…

  • Maybe just talk to your patrons about turning the rooms into parklands or something so that org markets don't look like Detroit. (Alternately, allow more semi-permanent/permanent vandalism to create a more realistic slum with burnout storefronts, et…
  • I finally tried to gym! It went horribly because I'm level 13 and my strongest guy had 250 less CP than everybody else, and didn't know what I was doing. I tried twice and died before I got the other guy to half health both times.

    O…

  • Nobody gets used to it, they just don't think about it as hard because they have to function. It's never less horrifying. I'm sorry this happened near you, and to anyone.
  • I realized I've driven about 120 miles more this week than I usually do scouting around for good spots, so I'm resigning myself to stick around my neighborhood at least until the weekend. Hohum. Watch out, rattatas.

    Edit: Or I could hatch…

  • (Quote) I'm just picturing your character at a Slipknot concert with a disapproving Nocht standing right behind you, covering his shadowy ears and scowling.
  • Yeah. I was definitely not the only person wandering around the park in pyjama pants. There were three lures going in very close proximity and so I had that experience of standing in a crowd of 60-ish people who are all playing pogo. I can't im…

  • I'm finding it hard to stay at home. I'm sitting here thinking, "Surely I wouldn't be the only pyjama-clad weirdo wandering around [Sodosopa] at 2:00 a.m. looking for pokemon."

  • Finally got to log in again! The pokemon were particularly photogenic this morning...

  • Well. By the time I got to my local beach, there was a server outage and now I cannot log in at all. Also, it has occurred to me that there usually isn't cell service in the wilderness, which dashes a few of my hopes.

  • lol. That pictures is basically the warning/loading screen, minus the Gyarados.

    I finally had time to play with this tonight, just got back from wandering around my neighborhood for 2 hours. Definitely saw 1 other misfit returning from ou…

  • @Riluna Thank you for sharing your good news!
  • My information is a few months outdated, but argleblaster is basically a 1 hour TF, and doesn't stack with a real TF
  • Returning things through Amazon is a hassle. As much as I don't want the sky to be full of drones, I would be totally okay if just one of them turned up today like Hedwig to take this stupid wrong-sized refrigerator door bin back to its warehouse.

  • I think the system needs to be less strict. A god's affinity for an org should come in degrees, and be reflected in their presence in the org's pantheon. Pantheon members enforce full affinity.

    Some gods are very obviously tailored to ce…

  • (Quote) Bob was a shoe-in. He's just overall talented and very marketable. I la-la-love Kim Chi, but she couldn't have won. They wouldn't do back-to-back avant-garde girls, and the whole thing with adamantly refusing to tell her f…
  • Did Gaudi get quiet again?
  • I can't say that I was just offered my dream job, because my dreams generally do not involve having a job... but failing that, a best-case-scenario has been flung at my feet. I am drunk on professional admiration and it's wonderful. I hope everybody…
  • Well it's quite late, but @Estarra for that April Fool's post! Still giggling.

    1. Prepare and serve an elaborate meal of roast chicken, stuffing, gravy, and the vegetables of your choice. Or, get one of these rotisserie chickens from the grocery and just eat the meat with your fingers while st…
