Soon after - a farmer's market - most items were a dollar per pound, etc. Haven't been in this part of town for a while, since there was no real reason to head down here.
Picked up one tip along the way: That you can soak a bottle of honey in a tub of warm water to decrystallize it instead of discarding the bottle of remaining honey.
I had not enough time this weekend to do a lot of things. Sadly, this includes a good portion of my homework assignments, so that means that I have to sit back from a DCM for next week.
I was only here because one of my friends invited me to this event - I wouldn't have known about this event otherwise. By going, this would be something different from the pictures I saw of this event. In the end, it's not what I anticipated. Really.
UPDATE: The receive mojo from multiple tabs was patched on January 26, 2012, so that you only get credit for one of these tabs, but this trick still might work for some people.
Over 20 million mojo has been collected in fortune cookies cumulative, thanks to a trick that allows you to greatly increase the value of these cookies. On the other hand, cookies for others are few and far between. I am the 1 percent.
BUT I'm willing to give this trick to the other 99%. (This has been discussed on the main tips page but I think this deserves a separate page.) See the above image for examples for each step.
NOTE: The number of tabs you can open at one time (aka your fortune cookie multiplier) is dependent on your system specs. A laptop can typically handle five tabs while a 2010+ computer can safely handle up to 18 tabs worth of mojo (before reaching the memory limit and crashing the browser altogether). Experiment to find the most number of tabs you can open at one time while following all of the above steps.
Requirements: You have at least one fortune cookie to open. (You can only receive them from friends, and there's a small chance after every game you will be given one and the ability to share to others.)
How much mojo will you expect?
For each fortune cookie, there's a chance to get this amount mojo:
NOTE: Mojo gained assumes you are at lvl 80. The amount earned may be a lot less if you are below that level. The left side is the lower end of your mojo gain per cookie (lvl 1), it's strongly recommended you don't open them. Pct Chance Mojo Gain (lvl 1,80) Freshness (est) - Mojo 13.75 2 - 105 0-4 hrs 5 - 552 20.25 4 - 285 4-12 hrs 2 - 289 38.38 15 - 545 12+ hrs 0 23.62 45 - 880 4 75 - 5,500 What mojo fortune cookies will be worth at freshness level at level: (20 cookie average - no freshness) | | 2 4 15 45 75 | 4 2 | 1-3 409 (3% of lvl 80 value) 5 20 40 95 210` | 34 19 | 4-20 1,019 (7%) 10 35 115 235 515 | 99 53 | 21-24 2,574 (10%) 15 55 150 260 665 | 118 65 | 25-27 3,176 (22%) 25 80 165 340 720 | 153 79 | 28-41 3,841 (27%) 40 90 250 455 850 | 224 116 | 42-50 5,223 (37%) 50 135 295 500 1130 | 248 127 | 51-57 6,215 (44%) 55 150 305 550 1370 | 259 141 | 58-63 6,794 (48%) 65 195 385 605 1410 | 311 168 | 64-70 7,910 (56%) 80 200 405 800 1550 | 332 181 | 71-75 9,158 (64%) 90 245 455 835 1800 | 421 212 | 76-77 10,117 (71%) 105 285 545 880 5500 | 552 229 | 78-80 14,183 (100%) (value of cookies are determined upon opening the game)
where mojo gain is the amount of the mojo you will get from one fortune cookie, and freshness is how long it took you to open it from when the friend sent their cookie to you.
You should earn around 12.2k mojo per 20 cookies (no freshness bonus) to 23k mojo (full freshness) for one tab. Multiply by 18, you get a decent 400k mojo towards your stockpile, more than what you might expect from a 3x mojo potion. Cookies are scarse these days (at the time of writing), and just one cookie can be enough for a full-power game, so start sharing whatever cookies you find!
Just because you receive one fortune cookie to share doesn't mean you can't share only one. If you happen to open the request dialog on another tab, the "send request" button can be clicked on multiple times, sending multiple cookies to people (or person) at once. Screenshots on this soon. (Note: This may not work since was patched on Nov 22nd)
Friend receives one cookie to share. Using the send method above, selects friends to send it to, but clicks on the send request button 100 times. The request to you (and others) gets sent as 100 cookies. You then use the receive method to convert these fresh cookies into 1800 of them (with 18 tabs) = ~2 million mojo received.
Penny Wars: A fun competition to help raise money. In the realm of Circle K, Penny Wars is serious business, meaning that in order to win, you have to plan beforehand. Or not.
Round 1: Fairly straightforward - see the image to the left.
Round 3: (either I missed a round or they skipped it) - Groups get more aggressive. Golden gate is the only one in the black with the help of a 20 dollar bill. Divisions gang up and flood Golden Gate's jar.
Round 4: All divisions are in the red, with Desert Oasis winning (at -285) and Golden Gate at -21,410 points. SFSU enters rage mode and summons lots and lots of filled penny coin wrappers (they had at least 80 total last time I saw) - and drops them into every other team's jar to even out the playing field (ensuring that Desert Oasis doesn't win the second time.)
Results: $740.32 was raised for Not For Sale. Capital Division (our division) wins. Although the pennies in our division would cut the score close compared to other teams, We had a dollar-filled penny wrapper to ensure the victory.
In the middle of FTC, Winter came a lot earlier than expected. What originally was rain turned out into snow (first hours of snow melted as soon as it touched the ground) - ends up with groups singing Christmas songs, making angels, or just playing with it. Including sculpture making.
I've always seen people inside the snack bars serving food to people, whether it's during a sports game or in the middle of a play (Hazelton ACT Team's Cinders Play comes to mind). I see what it's like to be in one - busy making (and serving) foods and the occasional shortage of supplies.
Nice house. Even though I came a bit late that I couldn't tour any groups, there were some interesting finds.
