Looking back at the Memory Game

Hello!

Phew! This semester in uni has been extra crazy! I've been wanting to write a blog post for a long time, but literally every free minute is spent on stuDYING -.-

A new event started today, but let's take a look at the previous event, the Memory Game. I used to do Yay or Nays about events, this is something similar, but gives a broader overview and also has pictures!

Please note that all the pictures in this post have been taken by me!

The Memory Game was just as you'd expect it to be - a memory game! There were 26 levels altogether and every one of them granted you a prize. You could also get some smaller items for matching tiles with the item's picture it gave out, but these were simpler ones, like APs, tack, fortunes etc.

With a little help in the form of a paper and pencil, this game could be made fairly easy! I just wrote down all the tiles and progressed pretty fast! I made it to level 21, which is so close to 22 where I could have gotten a Falabella divine! As always, there was a divine at the end of the board, but for non-pass-using players those are always out of reach, tough I have to admit, this time it was closer!

There was something new with the jokers that I liked - every day one of them was offered for free for one use! One of them revealed some unturned tiles for a few seconds and the other ones indicated tiles from the same family for a few seconds also. The former was very useful, the second I found great when the board was down to fewer tiles.

You couldn't go on forever, there were lives, that you received every day when logging in. It was great that they stacked as I was some days only able to log in for a sec to collect them.

On the second picture I have the level I managed to get to. I forgot to log on in the last morning, which I regret, because I was really hoping for that Harmony pack, but there will be another chance for sure...

The new event, Icelandic hike has proved to be promising also. It has a new and interesting platform. Iceland is also a very interesting place, I would really like to travel there one day, so it's kind of a win-win.

That's all for this time! Have a nice day and good luck, the purge starts in just five days...

BHF is you ded??

Holy moly, it's been 2 months already! Phew! I am sorry for being away for so long, I had a though last period in school, but now it is officially over and the summer holidays are here! Weeheee! More time for blog! I've always had time for Howrse and I'll tell you what has happened c:

Tanya is retired and is currently "working" as a broodmare and besides Capricorn, she has given me 4 more future Grand Prix horses: mares Mrs. Dalloway and Fine Desing, and stallions Fair Play and Taeyon. They all look promising and I am in the middle of training them. Capricorn is doing nicely in comps and seems to exceed the most in cross country.

I wasted some money and bought a new skiller: Hellboy, a purebred KWPN stallion. I have already fully trained him and he has started competing. I also gave him a Golden Apple today that should soon retire c:

Btw, from now on, all my GP horses will have an Apollo's Lyre.

Currently, Pinata event is on and I am just playing and walking along, I won't get anything because I don't want to waste my passes c: Click onto my pinata and I'll click yours! In these two months a board game event has also been on, but I didn't earn anything special from there, so no news here...

But today, BHF made history...the Golden Fleece promotion is on and when I scratched it...*tears of happyness* I got Opal! It took me five years after Jade to get a divine! Yass, thank you lord of luck, I had already lost faith in you! But I have to admit he is kind of not so great, because I basically only have a bigger chance to get diamonds when I feed him carrots and that's just about it. At least I can add him skills using diamonds, this thing is pretty interesting, but it also means I will waste more diamonds and have less for promotions. Oh well, it's a two sided thing, like every good thing in this world. And a little picture proof for you too c:

This is it for this time, I hope I'll see you guys again soon :P

Colorful text! Yay!

Hey there! More weeks have passed by and I am now a year older and have a summer job...oh no, I have not forgotten Howrse and am happy to tell you what has happened this month :)

About Haflingers and Shires...I decided to start BLUPping them, so far I haven't kept track of it on any of my horses. I read some articles on the internet about how to do it and started trying. I couldn't resist the temptation and bred LM Sunshine twice...and got two colts. Daffy remains "untouched". I won't breed them before they reach 90 BLUP at least.

I decided to start a new series called Yay or Nay? So basically, it is me judging events on Howrse. I will bring out the best and the worst in each event and then summarize it, is this event worth playing or not. These are mostly my personal opinions and may differ from yours, so please respect it :)

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Water Balloon Fight  

Cons:

• Free gifts from your friends!
• Possible rewards!
• Even if you throw only a few balloons, you have almost a 100% chance of getting a small reward.

 Pros:

• You can only throw a ball when you catch an UFO and that doesn't happen so often.
• Getting the best rewards and Divines is almost impossible and may require hours of time spent online.
• There is always a chance that your friends may not throw any balloons at you.

The verdict:

It is almost impossible to get any impressive prizes easily, but if you love to receive small gifts and give them to your friends, then this is your game :) This is a Tie.


Yay, I love the colors! You can comment below what do you think of it :P

Anyways, see you around!

A little pause from studies...

I am having the busiest time of the school year and have not had time to play every day, but I always try when I have some spare moments. Just. Two. More. Weeks x.x Feels like eternity.

Have you guys sometimes tripped over horses you've bred and then sold them? I just did and I was delighted to see a Trakehner with my affix on a competition list when I was entering my horse into comps. It just feels great that some horses do have a future after you sell them. May be I am just being pessimistic, but I think that 90% of horses that I sell are still a few hours old a year later. So it feels quite good to see that 10% around.

About the maze...so many blind corners! I keep picking the wrong roads x.x But oh well, at least it's fun lol. No sign of the new Percheron yet, but I won't cry if I won't find it.

Setting up a poll, cause I want to know what would you like to read about the most in my blog. Every kind of feedback is welcome!

And back to studies...wish me luck for that one final exam!

Sincerely yours,
BHF

Think before you bid!

Pinatas are gone. I am so sad. I cri evritim. I made it to 11th pinata and I was hoping I would get the divine...lol nah!

Twitter started off great, but it's been quiet...okay, I confess I am lazy! And I usually just roll over Howrse quickly and don't have any time for tweeting. I tought this place would be great for small announcements from now on.

I organised a small comp on my EC. Go and check it out in the forum!

Let's get to the main part now. I have started checking on some horses lately that I have sold. I was quite dissapointed to see the latest two failed Hannoverian unicorns were put to safe haven almost immediately. I don't understand...why bid on a horse you don't actually need? There are people out there who would want one, but you just dump them away. May be I am overreacting, but hey, I don't only care about the money, I always put them up for sale hoping they will have great new homes. To be honest, I almost never use SH. I use it only when there is nothing else left to do. I use it when I have tried to sell a horse I don't need for a long time and I just can't keep it.

People, please have more respect in them. I know it is just a game, but I think I am not the only user who sometimes loves to check if horses they bred have accomplished something. Please THINK before you bid or buy. I do that everytime I buy a horse. And those who I have bought, have always found a good home.

Thank you for reading!

I love pinatas!

Who doesn't? ^^

Actually, I was just passing by to thank everyone who has clicked onto my pinatas and, as I have promised, I have clicked onto all pinatas, that I have caught on the friends list. Keep the clicks coming!

Not a friend yet? Then what are you waiting for! I accept all friend requests and give your pinatas some clicks!

Happy gaming!

The Howrse Events: The return of Pinatas

Dat title tho :P

Yes, pinatas are back! I have to admit, pinata has always been my favorite event after Wandering horses. I am always eager to get the divine, which I am sure I will not get because when did I last win one??

So yeah, I eagerly started doing quests and then came...bed down a pony for 1 point. I checked my crossbreds and I don't have any ponies! I was so desperate I went to direct sales and bought the first cheapest pony who galloped onto my search roads. So here he is: Nouble Courage, a Chincoteague pony, got him for 5000 equus. And I got my one point. I decided to keep him so I could use him in the future if such quests should come.

And as always...I beg you to friend me and click onto my pinata! I click absolutely ALL my friends' pinatas if I find one in the help a friend section. Thanks a lot!


See you around!
