Castle Chit Chat
Thanks, SilverHawk, for starting a thread for the castle challenge. I had originally posted in the DQ thread, forgetting that we can have more than one thread here because our posts won't get lost among all the spam or questions about when the next update will be.
Not sure whether we should start a separate thread for Trina or leave her linked with the DQ's and our beloved gnomes. Less than 16 days until they return to torment us again.

Re: Castle Chit Chat
Awesome ! A MC related talk thread 
. I'm feeling so much better about coming here and starting fresh. Now there will be clean and easy to navigate MC related discussions and progress documentation. Thanks for start it TS.
I don't know what to suggest re: Trina. It seems easier/quicker to just add her into the DQ progress. However, sooner or later you'll eventually have the DQ achievements done and all that's left is Trina. Keeping a separate thread for her keeps things more tidy and easier to track but will require bouncing in and out of threads for each topic while still working on DQ's and CC's.
I think of it like logging into a paper journal. I would be listing each on a separate page for quick reference. Not all on the same piece of paper all mixed up together.
Take a day or two to ponder it and decide on what makes more sense to you. I'm leaning toward a separate thread for Trina even though it requires bouncing in and out of different threads, but I'm good either way.
I'm looking forward to the return of the Gnomes. I'll have a Trina progress for the next CC task tomorrow. She's waiting on a request for 20 ZZ's

Re: Castle Chit Chat
I can't wait for the Gnomes to return. IMO these Special Events last way too long. 30 days would be plenty with the CC started before or during (not Day 1). This would give more variety to the challenges, crossing over into (or out of) the Special Event.
Great site setup BTW!

Re: Castle Chit Chat
I think I could endure a 35 day seasonal event with the CC starting on day 2 or 3. That's how long the Winter event lasted.
Another problem is the sameness of the events. Collecting flying objects, craft 2 or 3 pets, play 3 HOS for coins. During Spring and Fall, there are currently 54 different flying things, in Winter there are 60. And some players want even more added!
When a special event is more tedious than Gnome Spy, something is very wrong.

Re: Castle Chit Chat
I'm having such a hard time getting motivated to play without the Gnome quests giving me incentive. Just can't seem to make the rounds for the only purpose of collecting airship items. Only seem to go in, do the daily CC task, then out again.
In light that this forum is a Finish Your Games Challenge I'm going to start downloading some BF games I've purchase and have not played. Something to do until our beloved gnomes return.

Re: Castle Chit Chat
I still have more posts to look through to make sure I've copied all my songs over to here. Was able to complete some Trina quests so that helped motivate me to play some HOS. Not looking forward to tonight's CC task. I don't do very well playing dice.

Re: Castle Chit Chat
I couldn't agree more about the length of this event (toooo long)!!! Has become a real grind. Now that CC is done plan to do friends rooms, DQ'S, TQ 1 pass through the castle and get outside and work in my gardens.

Re: Castle Chit Chat
The first day after a CC ends I always feel lost. I need my mission for the day.

Re: Castle Chit Chat
I hear that. I opened my games and immediately went to the CC folder before I realized the light wasn't flashing and there were no more new tasks. It would have been so nice to at least click on the DQ icon and start working on the Gnomes but that's not for a little more than a week. This SE was way too long.
Rain today is not helping my mood.
