*Huggleglomps Ariela* Nah, at least not yet. They are 8.5k, and that will take me below 300k once I have all the art I have on order done and payed for... I might still get it, as I am always debating, time will tell. Likely a matter of hours xd

polk - Yes, 8 months straight, and I lost the first time too sweatdrop And advice... Oh, my number crunching? Heh, as Ariela once suggested, I like the numbers(She said that Shil and I might be in it mainly for all the number crunching whee ) But yeah, I am all about structure, which is another reason why I didn't compete this month, I have no structure to life right now confused But yeah, glad to have helped. It just goes to show how possible any trophy is, you just have to manage a decent chunk of time well 3nodding

I think Ariela's onto something there rofl I think that time management is key. Otherwise you just fish as hard as you can and then feel burned out cuz it never feels like enough.

Hopefully things in your life settle down soon.

Well...fishing is out of the question tonight for me unless i can catch them through snoring at them....fishing all night....tidying all day...fishing half the night....tidying the other half of the night and all of the day makes one sleepy monkey...

Good luck to the rest of you fishing tonight...i shall be thinking of you in my fishy filled dreams heart

whee What can I say? I like statistics xp But yeah, time management is a big key, time has always been my issue, and thing interrupting my schedule. But yes, I did notice a greater pressure last month, when I had the worst setup time schedule-wise because it kept getting invaded.

Thanks, though they won't. I'm looking around a bit for a job, and that will kill anything but Bronze or an easy Silver attempt anytime soon. *Shrugs* Such is life...

*Pokes that banner when posting* That was the picture that I think Nobara showed us, said it had never been used... I wonder... But it does look good with my Wizard getup rofl

Hold on just a second please? Don't you think that's just a little inconsiderate? What if there are others that want to keep their place but now have to put in extra time only because you chose to play it this way, this month? Or can I guess you really do think that second is in a 'safe' position?

[Shadow.Of.Aphrodite]

eek what's happening?

[polkaroo79]

Shadow: gonk it's been a long month for us all.

Seraphine: I know some comments have rubbed you the wrong way this month, but I think your comments are rubbing some others the wrong way too. I'm sure that wasn't the intent of it.

And I'm done for the month, 200 K wh00t! whee

[Ariela Steadfast]

You've done great!!!

@Shadow of Aphrodite I think many of us put in long hours trying to get where we are in the scorecharts, and that is to be commended, highly. I also know the game is competitive in nature, I just think we ought to be considerate of others. I wouldn't expect someone else to fish exclusively when I was able to or vice versa, even if the outcome is pretty much known. I hope that makes sense? You did well too this month, and I know you will keep it up and get a silver or gold eventually. *hugs*

That wasn't meant for you, just for the people im not competing against and telling me what pace to go at ^.^

I dont think i told you, but i well expectected you to go ahead and force me to catchup cause i was going so slowly ^.^

*Chuckles* Like me maybe? I was stating things based on real Gambino competition. I have been in a run for Gold, and could have had it, but I had to move at the end of the month, and did not have the option of losing a few nights sleep at the end, as I would have been kicked off of the computer. Thus I pulled back a week away, saving myself gold, time, and stress. But that doesn't mean I don't know what kind of score is normally worthy of a Gold. I had no competition in August whatsoever, but I still went out and beat all but two of the previous scores, with a week lost on top of it.

*Shrugs* Maybe I am just an Over Achiever(Not to confused with the user, who is also one xd ), but I do think 312k is pretty low. Of course if you are happy it shouldn't really matter what I think though should it?

Forgive me, eventhough this is none of my business, but I have a knack of getting in trouble for always saying exactly what's on my mind. Don't get me wrong, I still hold a lot of respect for you and I still remember when you were there to answer my noobish questions back in August and early September.

When competing for a trophy run, I would think people usually tried to schedule it during a month they were most free at? Hence the higher scores in the Summer. We don't know what's going on in Sera's life and we have no right to judge or even know what is. If no one else is competing against her for Gold, it's not her fault. If she comes out with Gold by the end of the month, then, by Jove, she's earned it. She's probably going through a lot of obstacles at the moment on top of all of the criticism she's received for her low score. I would think the critisicm would actually stress her out and cause her to fish less. You probably could have won a Gambino Gold if you had fished this month, but you didn't.

To be honest, all I've been seeing is malice and resentment in your posts because you've taken the month off. The Gambino scores are too low, the Junk Scores are too low. It might be a slow month because life has interfered with most everyone's fishing. There won't always be 4 free gold runners every single month, that's life.

I'm stuck in school for 12 hours every Wednesday and Thursday of each week. That doesn't even include my other class days, homework, the occasional work day, and time I try to spend with my friends. I fish whenever I can. A few of my friends are even beginning to feel neglected because of it so I'm taking next month off for that and a bit of Christmas Shopping. And who's to say I haven't been sacrificing sleep for fishing either? I've gone plenty days in a row without sleep which is a bit hypocritical of myself when I always try to tell myself
Life > Gaia.

We all try our best at whatever we do. So why criticize us instead of rooting for us? I'm surprised Lady Sera's been able to stick out so far from all the negative criticism I've heard about her. "Oh, her score's too low" "I could do better than that." I can't even imagine how Hypocoristical must have felt during her Overall Run.

If anyone has the right to complain, it'd be Ariela. Poor Ariela might have to miss out on her Trick or Treating just to fish on the very last day for that Silver. I sincerely hope Ariela is not forced to choose between Trick or Treating or Gambino Silver.

All I'm trying to say is why can't we all get along? Why be so critical? If the scores are low this time around, it just means more competitors are having their own things to deal with. We won't always get an even score for every section every single month. You're not competing this month because you have your own things to deal with as of anyone else who isn't competing this month.

Wow, that came out longer than expected =x and I'm terribly sorry, if I've angered anyone with my post and forgive me if I've misconstrued your posts...
