Wow. I cannot believe it's been 17 days since my last blog entry and 7 days since my last EF post (in my thread). Apologies to my daily visitors for not updating this blog any sooner. As always, I have been incredibly busy with work and irl. I finished work on 26th of August for 2 weeks therefore I should be able to update this a little more frequently during this time.

 

 

I have taken a step back from promoting 100 sweat for a while due to the imminent release of vu 9.0. where every player will be given the opportunity to recreate the avatar for free. The knock on effects to me and my current trade item are obvious and pretty much typifies the sort of luck I have! In fact my luck is so unexistent I will give a very good example of it later when I'll tell you about my current CND mining experience. Anyway, I don't expect to get any interest in the makeover by sorg until 2-3 weeks after the introduction of the new vu. The form of the trade item may actually change after the new vu. I may need to renegotiate what is on offer with sorg if the cost of performing certain surgeries increase. After all it would not be fair on sorg to hold him to a full makeover if the costs involved suddenly double!

 

 

Over the past few weeks I've seen a few more "trade x up to y" threads popping up and the usual kill joys shooting them down due to unoriginality. The title of the thread even says it all; if it bothers you, ignore it and move on! Show some class (or basic intelligence, if all else fails). One in particular that is trying to trade 100 sweat into an apallo springs to mind. Upon first reading it, I thought the thread starter set it up as a tongue in cheek poke at what I am doing. After some posts however, it seems like he is serious about going for it. Good luck to him, it shouldn't be long before he achieves this goal.

After a long hietus where I stayed away from SERIOUSLY mining for a while I am back into it seriously. Since finishing work, I have spent anything between 6 and 10 hours a day mining and lost count of the number of globals I have hit during this time (take note all you people that seem to think I do not actually play this game). One memorable day worth mentioning is when I hit 3 globals in 1 day planetside. 1 52 ped belk 1 72ped Caldorite and 1 160ped gazz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this is the best that I have actually ever done in 1 day. The funny thing is, I expected to hit globals and was disappointed not to get more. I just got the feeling my "luck" was in. Same as the day after, when I didn't expect to hit a global. In fact this proved to be the case. I believe the highest find I hit that day was a XII. My wife would call this the "law of attraction". Which to be honest I always smirk at when she talks of it!
