Idk about Finland but in the States during Halloween for example (closest eqiv) is that if we have candy we make the front look inviting and if we run out then we turn off the porch light and make the door less inviting. You could always put a sign on your door to let them know if you ran out. I'd get bulk small candy to stretch things out if you fear running out.

*Evos and nabs stuff*

I know this is really silly (since we're talking about kids), but I get a little bid anxious about the whole thing. I'm I too shy? (Yes.) I guess I could just not open the door if I happen to run out of candy (and get too anxious).

It's in good manner to ask if you can actually virpoa, before you start the poem that blesses the door opener. Which kinda gives you an opportunity to tell them you run out of candy. Some kids might still virpoa and give you a willow branch, even though they won't get paid for it (get candy). At least that how it worked 8 years ago...

Idk if this is out of place or not but the first episode of the Pokemon anime aired in Japan on April Fools. April 1, 1997!
Personally I'm very proud of knowing this fact.

~

I haven't commented on a community thread in ages. I'm sorry for not taking interest in the community's lives at all for the past few months ^_^.gif'

Of course not, it's pretty normal for anime to begin on April Fools Day due to it being the first day of a new month.
Especially if April just so happens to be when the Spring Anime season starts :P

If you'd like to be more active here, I recommend just talking about recent shows, movies, or other hobby related things.
That can include pets, cool stuff you got in the mail, recent shows/movies, etc

Kids are super resilient so I wouldn't worry too much. I think it's sweet that you want all the visiting kids to get candy XD. I do the same around Halloween, try to give kids candy as much as possible but when I run out I just tape a sign on the door saying I'm really sorry that I'm out. I feel bad but at the same time it's not super easy to guess how many will or will not visit. Had some years run out fast, other years had a crap ton of leftover candy.

I'm kinda worried about tomorrow and taking another shot at Elite Clicker. I guess it should be easier since "I know what I'm doing" better now..? Hopefully I don't have to give people rides tomorrow like the last time I tried Elite Clicker...

But to be complete honest, I'm currently more worried about Palm Sunday. In Finland it's Virvonta day (verb: virpominen, virpoa)- When children usually dress up as Easter witches and go around the neighborhood door to door trading decorated willow branches to candy (or money). They kinda of bless you so you can be healthy and lucky for the rest of the year.

Willow branch (click to show)


Since this is my first time living alone in a dense neighborhood with lots of kids, I'm kinda worried if I have enough candy for everyone and if I'm actually awake when they start their round. Since I might be kinda tired after Elite Clicker :___D

It has be a while since I have lived in a neighborhood were you actually get virpojia (people who come to virpoa). So I don't really know what to except cat.gif:

I'm actually kinda of surprised that this is only a thing in Finland? I noticed that while trying find translates for virpominen etc..


First let me wish you well as you vie for the Elite Clicker. Dang! That is definite bragging rights (in my opinion)! Secondly, can I just say how awesome that tradition sounds? I really love it! I wish we had something so creative in the states! It sounds like a wonderful tradition and those willow branches are beautiful! And if you run out of candy, the sign posted outside your door is probably a good idea. Don't feel bad about running out; it sounds like something that the kids are taught to do to spread happiness and be creative. Hopefully the majority that participate do it for that reason. Here's hoping you'll receive enough willow branches to decorate your foyer or kitchen or bedroom or what not. happy.gif Just enjoy it!

I also want to thank the person who sent out the Sky Gifts. I found one on my home page when I logged in this morning. love.gif It had just what I like. While it wasn't proteins and such, I do like the honey, sweet hearts, and flame orbs. So thank you, Mystery Giver. You rock!

Unfortunately, I might not be able to be as active as I used to be on GPX+ starting on Tuesday. I got a new job that doesn't require a (working) computer nearby at all times, so I'll only be on in evenings and on breaks. On the plus side, I'll be getting a new phone so I can utilize Mobile walker, AND play Pokemon Go! (I'm joining Team Mystic, for those of you who are wondering. Yeah, I know, with this username you'd expect me on a diff team, but I chose long before I even got the UN change, or before I even joined GPX+!)

Thankfully, I have weekends off, so I'll do a lot of my clicking then.

Thank you Mamanator happy.gif

Just around 5 minutes before the reset hits and I can start clicking. I woke up 41 minutes ago (around 6:09 AM, my time) and I have already done with my morning routine. My eyes felt a little dry, but luckily I had eye drops for that. Hopefully I don't have to use those much today.

My goal is to do at least 12,5k interactions hourly, which means 19 hours non-stop clicking. I know I can do more than that in an hour, but I'll let it happen naturally. I don't want to start with everything I got so I don't get too tired early. I probably won't be posting any updates so if you're curious on how it's going feel free to check it ;P

I'm gonna start the day by watching season 5 of American Horror Story (which got added to Finnish Netflix yesterday). After that I'm going to continue re-watching Grimm. Where I'm still at the first season.

I suppose if I want feedback on my writing I should put it on a writing site, but I'm curious what you guys think.

Or I can give feedback to other writers, hmm.

Only 32,9k interactions until I hit 250k! I still have 6 hours left and I'm feeling very sleepy already. Taking a nap sounds pretty tempting at the moment, but I'm pretty I can get that in less than 3 hours so I'm just gonna push it trough.

Yay, another Mystic player! Glad to hear you'll be able to play! I still play like a crazy person, I just don't really bother with the gyms. All I care about is my PokeDex dry.gif

@D E A N: How did your Elite Clicking go? I'm not gonna tackle that one until after my exams, cause I suspect I'll be staying up all night to do it xDD (reset is 9pm my time, so IDK how I'm gonna sort out sleep and clicking xD)


I'm getting really fed up with my Spiritomb hunt, lol. The eggs take so much longer to hatch than I'm used to, haha. Also I think there's only 4 people breeding them, so there aren't that many eggs in the shelter, so I just pick up my own every few hours when I have room in my party xD

I guess I could start levelling the rest of my Unova and Kalos pokes and finish getting my non-rare living dex

I did it! I finally got Elite Clicker! It took me 1 hour and 20 minutes longer than I originally wanted, which means I wasn't able to do 12,5k interactions per hour. The last 45-60 minutes were horrible I had to stand up, because I was so tired I was worried about passing out if I sit. Thankfully I had a wireless keyboard so I didn't have to carry my laptop. While tapping 123, 123, 123, 123.. on my keyboard I noticed that I suddenly spotted tapping without reason. Like in my head I was still giving the command to my finger, but they didn't want to work :___D At some point it took me a while to even realize it. So I did a lot of just staring at the screen with my fingers on the keyboard, but without anything happening.

The most disappointing thing? I only hatched 30 eggs yesterday and 9 of those were hatched with Mobile Walker. Sure the first eggs in my party were 20k eggs, which probably was a mistake since it took 12 hours to hatch them. But then again I was able to do more interactions since I didn't have to adopt new eggs all the time.

I got three new records yesterday:
- Activity Score: 815,384 (#273)
- Interactions: 250,184 (#233)
- Proper Berry Interacts: 37,207 (#245)

I did it! grin.gif I guess I'm kinda lucky that he reset happens at 7 am my time. Since I can have a good 8 hour sleep before it, without going to bed waaay earlier than normally. If my reset would happen at 9 pm, I would probably go to sleep at 5-6 pm, even earlier if possible. And then taking 20 min power naps if needed.

I asked my grandmother how many kids came last virpomis day/Palm Sunday. She didn't know since she moved in last easter, but after virpomis day/Palm Sunday. Though she asked a friend who said only 3 kids came, which sounds super disappointing sad.gif I really hope that more will come this year. So far only 1 group of 4 kids has come.

My grandmother actually lives in the same building, but on the 4th floor. I'm on the 5th floor and on the opposite corner. I actually bought my flat earlier and got the keys on December the 1st 2015, but I had to renovate everything since it was in original condition (build the early 1980). New paint on every wall, ceiling, knock down a couple walls, re-do on the kitchen and bathroom. I actually have couple before-after images if anyone is interested happy.gif

@ D E A N: Congrats on Elite Clicker!
That's still a challenge I need to tackle. I tried once, but ended up getting too distracted by what I was watching on TV so my clicking rate fell way behind and I gave up :P

I went and saw the Ghost in the Shell movie at the cinemas a couple of nights ago. I thought it was pretty bad to be honest ^^" Though it makes me want to go and watch the anime properly now.

My sister and I have picked out a new pet chicken to get each, after our old one passed away last week. I'll be getting a Golden Laced Wyandotte and my sister a Plymouth Rock chicken...we like getting different breeds as opposed to just the standard laying chickens :P Get to pick them up next week, just need to think of a name <^v^>

It's true alright, no idea why they're waiting so long for the US. SM already has 20+ episodes, and the dub is usually only 10-13 episodes behind
