Next time room frees up in the goon association, I'll be tempted to join! I'm Hwa Carin because I let the name randomizer pick my game name.

Out of curiosity, when time does your Association schedule the style contest? I take a powerful sleep medicine for my narcolepsy between 9-10 pm most nights so I tend to be unavailable for eight hours after that. My current association set their style contest for 10:30pm Friday and Saturday nights so I'm not real helpful for them, haha.

They don't get to choose the time only the days, and it's at 11:30 pm for me and they decided to move the days this week to Monday and Tuesday to be the first ones to finish the suit and well wouldn't you know it I was kicked out of my guild for missing last night :v:
Can I join goon guild please

There are empty spots in the guild. We're still set up on the Saturday/Sunday it defaulted for and participation is OPTIONAL.

Especially because I never remember Saturday nights.

I'm going to need to take a break for a little bit. If anyone actively wants to be president, let me know - right now the vice president I just appointed to the most active person, because no one said they wanted it.

Be careful. In my last association the president changed, and then it couldn’t be changed back. I don’t know if they fixed whatever the hell was going on with that.

Why did you post that?
Hey I just wanna say I really appreciate not being kicked from the association(I'm zoya anda!). I spent a lot of time playing and then abruptly stopped bc I was going to spend more than I wanted (I had a number amount per month and then an event happened and I didn't trust myself to play. Then some great switch games came out.). I am gonna try to play this month without spending but it will suck bc my free quest boxes from spending too much will run out this week :(

I don't wanna spend when I also just bought overcooked 2 but do want to be active in the association bc I both love the current bunny stuff and also appreciate there being a goon guild. So please know I'm trying my best but if I'm the least active pls kick me and I'll try to rejoin at another time.

The current event (Which costs 15k+ diamonds to get all the suits) makes me feel like if I dont spend a ton of money on this game I'll fall behind, and I'm not even aiming to be the best or anything. All i ask for is to win 3/5 of my stylist arena matches. Also why is every cloud outfit so HUGE /full of big pieces

You won't fall behind because you don't actually NEED the event stuff for anything. You could play through the whole game without ever touching the events or anything without a problem... but I know how it feels to see all the stuff and WANT it and see everyone else having it etc etc. 15k diamonds is a whole loving lot, though. Does anyone else feel like the event stuff has gotten more and more expensive as time goes on? Or am I crazy.

And I still think the suits you get from the random thing are more interesting/useful than the big flashy ones!! I just wish it would stop giving me duplicates!!

Sep 7, 2007


To a point the dupes aren't so bad because they are customizable, at least! I like some of the recolors more than I do the defaults, even. It would be nice if they didn't drop until you'd completed the full set, but well... This is like a combination pavilion/hell event, so worst of both worlds I guess

But yeah this event specifically is kind of gross and designed to get you to spend a metric ton of money more than usual even, with the lucky tree pulls, the letters you can send, and the insane 15k total cost. It's pretty yikes.

Are you using the mynikki web page to find your best-scoring outfit for arena matches? Between that and skipping people with crazy high scores I haven't lost an arena match in weeks, it's great

A couple weeks ago there were so many sidebar events I literally couldn't see all of them, and because you can't scroll the sidebar for some insane reason,I said to access them through the events icon instead of directly :shepface:

The game is designed to give you serious FOMO so you'll spend lots of money on what is essentially pretty pixels that you can look at until the time the game is no longer profitable and they shut down the servers.

I have some major completionist tendencies, so I have to have some pretty firm rules about spending money on LN (and other f2p games). I only spend as much as I can get from surveys, and the first couple of events and suits that I REALLY WANTED that I had to let go really sucked. And then it turns out that as you get further into the game, you get other, similar outfits and completely forget about the ones that got away.


edit: My phone does not know what FOMO is and I should read through my posts more carefully.

Yeah I really haven't done anything with that event except craft that weird fire lion thing and accept the free postcards. Maybe if there aren't that many people participating they'll get the hint that they need to scale it back a bit.

Is mynikki better than the Nikki Guide app? That app has been helpful but it's a bit clunky to use at times.

I just keep to a budget on these, myself; I drop a few bucks every now and again but not a ton.

Nice. I see that you can actually import the save data instead of manually entering everything, that would be way more convenient. Looks like you have to use a rooted device or an android emulator on a computer but I'll probably give that a try. Thanks for sharing!

Btw if anybody wants to friend me my ID is 109218119. I'm not super into the game just level 43 but I have been playing every day for a while lately. I have room for 30 more friends apparently!

Even if you end up having to put in your wardrobe manually, it's pretty much worth it because of how much easier it makes the game.

Yeah I've been doing a good job not spending too much because I tell myself exactly that. It's pixels for a game that will probably either turn to poo poo or die in a few years. I'd rather put money towards a trip or a physical thing. But man they design some pretty suits.

Wait I thought that hell events were a one time thing? We still havent gotten the suits from the first one (The outfits that change based on the time, the spooky ones)

Yeah I use LN info, and im sitting at like 79% complete wardrobe, that site is the best. I use nox to import my wardrobe so its always up to date!!

True, Im honestly doing fine with what I have, I just like making outfits :V It def feels like everything is going up in price, even with the diamond double reset, $100+ is just too much to spend on a game like this.


My current association is pretty lazy about crafting those association suits and it kills me because the new one is SO pretty but we haven't even finished the white one..

My current association is pretty chill, and we're halfway through the peacock suit. You need to use discord but if anyone is interested the requirements are like 40 activity a week and do at least half the association wars battles in a month. When you join a new association you need to wait till you have 300 total activity to claim the suits though.

I think it is set to the 7:30-8:30 slot by default. If more people can make it to the 12:30-13:30 time slot, it would make more sense to change it to that, because currently not a lot of people are participating. Maybe we should have a poll for which time people would prefer?

In my time zone, the first time slot is 17:30-18:30 and the second 22:30-23:30, so I can easily make it to either.

Make sure you're taking into account that the listed times are based on the server time. Which is... Whichever time zone is 1 hour earlier than PST. Like right now it's 1:30 pm (13:30) here but the server time is 12:30.

In theory they're supposed to come back once a year or so, give or take a month or two. Progress is kept when they come back. We haven't exactly had the north american server long enough to see if they're going to hold to that but there's no reason not to think so, yet.

All the past event suits so far have crafting parts that cost a decent amount of diamonds. They'll absolutely make them available again.
