Is it too early to ask for some cash?
I'm fresh out and at this point unable to pay forging costs for next upgrade. Not that it'll happen anytime soon, but still.

Sure got harder all of a sudden and to think that the next 2 or going to be double so hard and quadruple so hard...

I'm guessing i'll need 3 or so weeks still...

miteke [Superheros] January 21 2008 5:20 PM EST

I'll bet. It sure is depressing when you go through a round of forging and get a lousy 2% added.

{cb1}Linguala January 21 2008 5:41 PM EST

well, i need 3 or more rounds to get 2% added...
But it's definitly a good feeling once you finally get that point upgraded :-)

This is going to take really long and once this is finished, from +10 to +11 is going to take really really long...

miteke [Superheros] January 23 2008 9:27 AM EST

Yea. That's why I didn't just loan it to you. I knew it would be a matter of weeks instead of days. I just wasn't sure how many weeks. I figured around 3 weeks.

{cb1}Linguala January 23 2008 2:44 PM EST

good call :-)
10m job is bound to take longer than a week.
I'm averaging 2.5m(to be on the save side) a week, so i should guess a month should be more than enough.
And I've been at it 10 days now, planning on finishing the current + by the end of the week. Currently at 40% to +10 and at finish, I'll be halfway through it. 4.99m from 10 to 11 so I'll spend the other 2 weeks just on that point...
LOL, some people would get discouraged for less.

{cb1}Linguala January 24 2008 5:56 PM EST

60% now
Need sleep now, will continue after a good night's sleep :-)
Planning on doing at least 1 cycle of forging on a +10 corn by the end of sunday.
Anyway, night all.

{cb1}Linguala January 26 2008 3:14 AM EST

80% and I'm giving up on finishing this point by the end of the week...

Keep up the great work Ling! It got to be a pain to forge such huge amounts NW for just one point...

Now comes the hard part :)

{cb1}Linguala January 28 2008 5:09 PM EST

Thanks dude, it's indeed a big pain, but here's some good news:
Rough progress meter: 10.867%
And all that since last Sunday so it's going unexpectedly well.
Will keep you updated every now and then.

{cb1}Linguala January 29 2008 5:16 PM EST

Every 10% seems to be a good time to do an update:
Rough progress meter: 20.843%

miteke [Superheros] January 31 2008 4:24 PM EST

I sent another 2M to encourage you.

{cb1}Linguala January 31 2008 6:27 PM EST

I noticed, hereby it's confirmed :-)
Rough progress meter: 39.236%

Hit 30% right before I was heading off to work, so this is the next best thing :-)
Next update i'll be halfway through it.

{cb1}Linguala February 2 2008 9:21 AM EST

Here it is finally.
Rough progress meter: 50.048%

I didn't mislead you, did I? No way near finished yet, that'll take till next weekend.

Levon [Clocked Out] February 2 2008 9:37 AM EST

i only made it to +9 :)

{cb1}Linguala February 2 2008 7:02 PM EST

Getting it to +9 was easy...+10 was mildly hard, +11 was annoyingly hard and I pity the fool (does that sound catchy? or familiar?) that wants to take it to +12 for anybody else than himself/herself...

miteke [Superheros] February 3 2008 7:11 PM EST

Drat. I was considering making you that offer! There's only one +12 corn out there atm and it would be nice to have a corn tied for #1.

Well, you could try your luck during summer, I'll prolly be cheery and wacky, so I might actually accept then...maybe even, nah...+13 is something I wouldn't even do for myself, unless Jonathan decides to double the forging efficiency, like in cb1 :-)

{cb1}Linguala February 7 2008 12:05 AM EST

I knew i had forgotten something...

You'll be enjoying a corn+12 during some part of the weekend. :-)

miteke [Superheros] February 7 2008 11:14 PM EST

you mean +11, of course. I WISH it were +12.

{cb1}Linguala February 8 2008 2:49 AM EST

oops, typo, I did mean +11 and I have news for you...

There you go :-)
I'm glad to be rid of it.
Next upgrade would cost me 10k ba(approximately) ...
At 350ba a day, that's almost an entire month of forging....
