Gumball launching started on May 3rd where a planet could be discovered with every visit to the telescope. The Vending Machine was added to the planet discovery possibility on May 5th, the Enchanted Plushie Machine on May 6th, and the Plushie Machine on May 8th. For a full week, I was discovering planets at a decent rate, but it has slowed way down since then. I'm rarely discovering anything through the vending and plushie machines now. I am missing my dopamine hits and getting tired of the disappointment. Now ready for the solar flare to be over, though I appreciate the work and creativity that went into it. The fun just isn't sustainable when the frequency of wins decreases over time. It would be better the other way around.

My second day in Maraland was way more successful than my first! But I also discovered a lot of new features that helped me with things I wasn't able to figure out yesterday. After clicking around a bit under the game category, I found out that there are more rewarding dailies than are just listed under the dailies tab. Revelation! There's the chance category, with games that would look very familiar to anyone who used to play Neopets: pick three items out of ten items to click on for a chance to win a prize, etc. There's also another category just vaguely titled "Features" (what does that even mean?) that have click-and-get pages similar to Neopets' Giant Omelette and such. So yeah... I was able to get much MUCH more MP and items after discovering these two categories.

In fact, I was able to pass the 100,000MP mark! Woohoo go me!

Following along with the Get Started missions, I added a few unwanted items to my shop and customized my shop front. Increasing your shop size is incredibly cheap, at least at these lower levels, because I was able to move up a level for 100MP. ...not that I have enough items to need a shop upgrade, but it's nice to have!

Tombala blessed me with a salon coupon so I was finally able to give myself a cool haircut. Not that I hated the default one... a little... but the weird Rapunzel look wasn't really for me, you know? A graveyard feature unlocked a spooky themed "experience" for me, which is basically like a background for your avatar, so I went with gothic style hair and clothes to match the spooky background. OH! AND SPEAKING OF GOTHIC STUFF. I sent Sno through a daily operation machine and it turned her WHITE. Like, the cool kind of white where she looks like a ghost and has demonic red eyes. Aww yeah.

So now that I'm moving off my own crap and on to my actual pet Sno Abyss: the stats are a-growin'! Once I figured out you can get stats from games, there was no stopping me. Between the games, the school quests, and whatever crystals I acquired, Sno was able to level herself up quite well. She gained multiple speed and charisma points and is on her way to having enough points to qualify for jobs (hopefully tomorrow!) and possibly win some battles. We attempted a few battles today but got our butts thoroughly handed to us. SOON.

She also randomly got sick. Whether or not the sickness was related to getting her butt kicked is up for debate, but after taking her to the hospital the doctor diagnosed her with VAMPIRISM. Was it my minipet?! I gave Sno a minipet Vampiry and I think it might've bit her. ...or it really was random. ...OR WAS IT? Vampiry needs to be defanged, methinks.

A new community feature I discovered - clubs? There are clubs for pretty much every interest, so I joined one for Phantom of the Opera fans. It seems pretty... dead. At least, dead enough to where the last post was four years ago. Ouch. I'll get around to figuring out how to find an active one at some point.

The last thing I started messing around with before logging off was the collections feature. Apparently you can add things in your inventory to specific collections, like plushies, photos, etc - and your pet even has their own collections! Every time Sno watches a DVD or reads a book, it gets added to her collections lists which also can help get her certain jobs. The glowing eggs I couldn't figure out yesterday are also part of a collection, and after another round of creative googling I was able to hatch some eggs by clicking on them multiple times until they popped. Not sure if it's random or if there's a specific number of times, but some eggs popped after a couple tries and some took dozens of clicks! Regardless, I acquired a bunch of new colors from the eggs for my clothing and my forum font.

Tomorrow we'll start figuring out which stats we need for whichever job Sno might want for herself and work on leveling up those.
