I found you again, ...didn't play the game for a while and i'm gonna need some help... see you soon... 
 

I can't believe I actually won 2 eggs in a row in the puzzles  .

I RARELY get 1 let alone 2. It's my lucky day !

My enthusiasm for this game appears to have died when the Spring Event started. 

That's when I finally gave up hoping that something would be done about the airships.  Add in the mess about the two Spring rooms, the length of the Spring Event, the lackluster avatars for the last CC and I have to question my sanity in continuing to play a game that feels more like a chore than an escape from chores.

Another crummy day accomplishing next to nothing.  Every productive day is followed by 2 days where I might as well have not bothered opening up my games.

Glad you've been getting Rare Editions almost regularly at least. But when you open your games and there's nothing it can be very discouraging. Especially when you're over halfway to the finish line.

I'm glad I made the decision this week to start working on all DQ's (except 3 Days) on just one game and keep up with the HOS for airships on only that game. So far, it makes me feel a little better. Otherwise I'd have been shut out on both games two days in a row with exception of Strange Papers. Two games and one 1 hour DQ might as well be zero DQ's in two days. There is no joy at that rate. Add to that I may not get much play in until Friday even if I got good DQ's I might have to skip because of time. Would make for a very unproductive week.  

I sincerely hope your games give you better DQ's to play or your choices (out of frustration) may be to quit and do something else or perhaps try my new method for a while (or invent your own new approach). Though, no guarantee my method will be any better since I've only been at it a few days. I may even not like it. Time will tell.

I get it TiramaSue. In my case, for all of the above reasons, I have decided to change my strategy...or maybe I've just been doing it "wrong" anyway (in the eyes of THIS beholder). I'm tired of trying to get Trina to cooperate with the DQs and it's NOT fun chasing HOSs and ZZs 3, 4, 5 times in a row just to get an airship request, only to send and call back the airship over and over.

I'm now going to work on DQs only. I think I will have them completed this year, or maybe a little longer for the 10 part. I'll work on Trina during the cool-down hour but when times up, she can sit. I'm just not going to try to link her quests with the gnomes. Maybe this change, for me, will seem NEW for a while...hoping for more productive and more fulfilling, and more fun.
