Bad Moon is awesome. It's like I'm back in pre-ascension days and I'm getting beaten up by Triffids.

I just got a carnivore button, but I'm leaving for about 9 months in a few days and I'll have no computer so my account will expire. Anyone want it for free now and then want to pay me a bit under the mall price right now (400,000) when I come back? Sell it or keep it, I don't mind what's done with it. I'd sell it though, I'm sure the price is going to drop as more people find them and it's only high because it's new content. I'll also give you my 70 or so oyster eggs and the ~50,000 meat I have right now. I just want to get 400,000 when I come back.

If someone feels up to it I could just give them my password instead of doing this weird delayed trading thing, and let them use up all of my turns every few days making DB drinks for the clan stash.

The last time I played I got up to 3 million meat by farming and selling crimbo content in the mall and I didn't know about the 60 days wipe.

K-mail me in game (BenMears) and I'll send you a Mr. Store item you can hold onto over rollover, which will give your account no-delete status.

I haven't been playing for a few weeks, and decided to pop on and futz around. I've never done a basement run, but at level 18, I figured it can't be too bad.

How the gently caress do I not take 500 damage from the elemental tests? I'm up to level 27, and it's already been hard getting up here, but now I don't think I have nearly the resistance I need in equipment to get past this one..

Orange peel hat, badass leather jacket, titanium umbrella, battered hubcap, plexiglass pinky ring, buffs (astral shell, scarysauce, elemental saucesphere).

Quaff a phial of <element>, but be careful which one you do - the wrong element will just double the damage you take (ie: if you had spooky and cold as the element tests...which one do you want to quaff?)

Additionally, give yourself more hp with blood of the wereseal and other buffs (Smile of Mr. A, candy, rage of the reindeer, shanty of superiority, etc).

i only use it for the relay and mindless farming because the relay adds handy links without my having to download nine billion greasemonkey scripts.

Well, I use the relay too, but that's not REALLY using mafia. Plus mafia lets me log my kchats. :shobon:

Soth: Jul 21, 2004; My knife, you see... is coated in poison.

I use a bunch of greasemonkey scripts. KolToolbelt has completely replaced Mafia as my mindless farming tool. The others I use are stuff to auto-setup recipes and spoilers for choice adventures. Simple stuff to make my life easier.

I never got contacted by the guy who offered to let me hold a Mr. item over rollover, if I don't get one by tonight I'll dump everything I have in the stash because this is my last rollover I'll be here to send the item back.

Edit: The carnivore button's a 0 karma item, I'll just send it to the op and he could make up some contest to let someone win it or whatever.

Edit: Sharpie's the greatest and let me borrow a Mr. item! Thanks so much!

So after spending forever trying to do a bad moon lead in, tolerating 5 turn buffs etc. it still never unlocked. I got a ten leaf clover shoring during the level 9 quest and put it in my closet because I thought disassembling one might count as using one. Other than that, I have no clue what happened. Oh and I had particularly bad luck with the dice game in the lair, but stuck it out (got it after 63 attempts). I was a muscle sign so I didn't accidentally use one after getting a clover from a non-combat or something. Tell me goons, where exactly did I go wrong? I'd like to see some of the new content.

No, don't worry about it.

Was this your first ascension since NS13? It's a known bug. Report it.

It was my first hardcore ascension since NS13, I did a couple softcore runs before that to get used to the new quests, I'll report it though. Frustrating, sure but I've been playing pretty lazily lately (27 day HC run haha) so it didn't really ruin my plan for a super speedy bad moon ascension or anything. I just wanted to see the new area :smith:

Alright, well, craig588 has graciously donated to me the C.A.R.N.I.V.O.R.E. button to do with as I please, and I could do something lame like buying some hell ramen with it to feed our collective maws, but that'd be the cop-out answer, and we all know that. So, a contest!

Since we had robot vs squid bitmaps for our last contest (results can still be seen here), let's change it up a little

It's a Contest!
Due Date: September 1st
Prize: One C.A.R.N.I.V.O.R.E. Button, worth roughly half a million easy squeezy meat at time of posting!
What you need to do:
Draw a picture of a dinosaur fighting IN OUTER SPACE What he's fighting is up to you. Priority will be given to awesome drawings and MSPaint. Leave your copy of Photoshop CS3 xXx and your $1500 WACOM tablet at home for this one, kids. Less effort = more awesome

_{Thanks for the donation, craig588}
