KOL Update

[yendi]

(ignore if you don't play Kingdom of Loathing. Seriously, it won't even make any sense.)

1. I'm currently at level 26, on my way to the second of the six Level 30 trophies. This is a Sauceror run, incidentally.

2. I'm also at Basement level 403, on my way to the second of the seven Telescope certificates.

3. After winning a million meat yesterday, I had enough to spring for the Libram of Divine Favors (meaning that I now have a full bookshelf). The Libram is, imho, utterly essential to Basement diving, and this will allow me to conjure Divine Party Favors directly instead of buying them up.

4. I also sprung for the item of the month. I mean, it's a llama, for god's sake. Who doesn't want a llama?I haven't used it much yet (see items 1 and 2), but I expect I'll spend a few days playing with it once I hit level 30.

5. I'm also working on my tour guide trophies, with this run aiming to be a 90% Sombrero run.

6. A reminder: if you have any extra Handfuls of Nuts and Berries, Handfuls of Pine Needles, Stone Frisbees, Sabre Teeth, or Dreadlock Whips, I'd love to have 'em (and let me know if you collect any items).

I don't play KOL at all but that makes this even more entertaining. It's like Douglas Adams out of his head on speed.

[yendi]

Heh. There are a few HHGttG references in the game, too.

I stopped playing, but I was careful to log in once a month so my unpaid multi wouldn't get deleted, in case I had time to pick it up again. And then I forgot to do it...and lost about 5 million meat and I think my plastic pumpkin bucket, so I'm too cranky to play anymore.

[yendi]

Well, your main account (#880004) is still active, with the pumpkin bucket equipped (in fact, any account that has a Mr. A or IotM equipped at rollover can't be deleted).

Whew. I was worried I'd lost the bucket.

Still, the five million meat loss is extremely vexing.

[yendi]

Yeah, I lost a couple of million when my multi went away. I've learned to not worry as much about meat -- I'm capable of farming it at a decent clip, and I win my share in c/games -- but I still don't want to just see it go up in smoke like that.

Psst -- if you get a chance, log in today. You're on the leaderboards at the Hall of Records (for your 7-ball collection).

I'm impressed by your full bookshelf - the divine favours is the only thing I have on mine.

Do you know of any widgit that actually will track the 90% famailar/run thing?

I also have a llama, but am not going to play with it much until after I ascend in the next few days or so.

I'll kmail you some items and some Divine stuff that I'm just hoarding.

Ugh, I might just basement again next run, after I play with my llama.
