Okay, I just discovered what I believe to be a pretty obscure Disney reference (unless there's some other maining I'm unaware of), and in a pretty obscure place, too.

In the character pane (on the left, with all your stats) is the "Last Adventure" link. If you put your mouse over that link, it shows the url that it inputs to their server to bring you to the correct adventure. The last bit in that url is "adventure.php?snarfblat=31"

snarfblat, of course, being Scuttle's term for a pipe in Little Mermaid. I'm unaware of any other meaning or cultural reference of snarfblat. And, on top of that "pipe" is a common programming term that refers to passing data as input to a function, so it would make sense there.

Wow, cool find GD.

I finally got the castle to say the procrastination giant was guarding, but I didn't have the right things in my inventory to complete the map. So now I'm trying to make it appear again.

I hope to ascend sometime next week. I'm thinking of going hardcore.

Unless you've moved the wheel since, you shouldn't have to do anything. It stays where you left it until you rotate it again.

I wish I would have read that two days ago. I didn't read the wheel very well the second time and I turned it, so I spent many many many adventures trying to get the wheel to come up again, and then it was too far from the Procrastination Giant, so I had to turn it yet again! I finally got it though.

I sold my petrified time in trade for 800,000 meat. If anyone else is interested in doing this, I've seen it go for up to 860k in there. Between Michael and I we had three, so we both sold one and are keeping the other. If you only have one time item, I'd keep it. It will be more valuable later.

Trade is a great place to make meat. Things like dry noodles go for a lot. Ten leaf clovers are good too. Holy crap! I just checked the mall and the time has gone up by 100k over night! I'm going to hang on to my other time.

I was thinking of just buying the star suit and ascending, but I realized I need to get several familiars ready first. I did buy the buckler though to make things a bit easier.

Not tonight, but I did last night. Horrible lag, and we have broadband. I wouldn't even try to play if we still had dial-up; my computer would be deceased.

I'm in the process of collecting enough stars for much of the star suit.

I used my time to make time pants, givin' me 3 more adventures per day. Had I thought about how valuable they'd be, I might have done otherwise. Oh well. I do have an empty blowgun, another limited commodity. I wonder if those will ever be worth anything.

Actually, GD, the lowest price in the mall for time trousers is 970,000. So they are quite valuable. I bought a store in the mall. Right now I'm only using it for ten leaf clovers and another PT that I acquired (well, Michael and I acquired it together). If anyone wants to sell anything there, then send it to me and tell me the price you want it sold for. I'll send you the meat when it's sold. Of course, this is all trust based, but I won't charge a fee.

I got my son hooked! As soon as he levels-up he's going to apply to our clan. If you admins want to use the new whitelist feature, his ingame name is "yowza." He's my disco bandit! AWWWwwwww...
