Going solo again

Hello!

Long time, no see! My life has taken a 180° turn. I started university that is not in the town I live in. I am mostly now living in a bigger city, renting an apartment with a classmate and am now experiencing life without parents for the first time. Also, the studies have gone much more harder, forget about the whining I had back when I was in upper secondary, this shit is now real :D I even don't have time to go on Howrse so often. I visit it few times a week. But I can't get my mind onto quitting, this game is still great.

Stuff has happened over there too. For example, today I got expelled from Austrian Beauty team(former Österreichische Schönheit) due to inactivity. I totally understand that. My activity ceased to merely one blup a month and that is not enough at all. May-be it's even better that way, I have one less task to do. I hereby want to thank everyone who recruited me, helped me to learn blupping and the ways of teams. It was an invaluable experience. I am pretty sure I will one day find the time to join a team again.

I finished Etrian game a long time ago and got Wikaila. So far he has given me one stone and is halfway of giving me a second one. Useful divine, but getting the stone takes a lot of time, unfortunately.

Another not so pleasant news, at least for me. Wilderness chose to visit me again, but at that day I was busy, visiting a big horsey event and I didn't log on Howrse. I missed a chance to snatch up rosettes, but oh well, he is going to visit me again some day, I hope.

I got a Nokota from a recent event and started breeding them for coats. Skills don't matter, my goal is just to complete the coats collection and get the trophy. I decided to give them names after the songs of my favourite band Imagine Dragons c:

Thoughts about teams

Hey there!

I promised you a commentary this time, but I have another topic I really want to share my thoughts about, I just have to make way for it!

I have been in Österreichische Schönheit for a month and a half now and being in a team has opened up a new side of Howrse for me. I have been a solitary player all these years and have worked everything out mostly by myself. I have kept a low profile and have actually talked to other players very few times.

In a team, however, communication between players is a must for everything to work out right. But a mixture of people with different views and values and the fact that the majority of Howrse players are female, can also open up dramas.

Ahh, dramas. As soon as I joined the team, I learned and am still learning about players famed for different things, both positive and negative. We also went through a major drama because of one of our ex team member, but these seem to be an every day business in teams.

The rivalry between teams is actually greater than I thought. Teams incorporate and split all the time. This either creates bigger alliances or breaks them. Competition for the no.1 spot in each individual breed and overall is tough.

I have learned to BLUP Haflingers and do it fast. I don't have the advantages of a VIP account, my blupping record is 10 minutes. I am now using this method on my own Haffies, it boosts BLUPs faster.

Also, any leftovers from blupping and breeding stay with me, so I have gathered a lot of Haflinger skillers. I am planning to sell some of them once the GP release allows me to. If you are interested in any of them, drop a mail! I will then reserve it for you once the GP release gets that high. But please be patient, this may take a long time.

I  never understood the importance of AP farms, but now I have started to build one of mine. Over the years I have collected a huge amount of aging points and right now I have no worries about it running out, but AP farms take time to build and I have to think ahead already.

This month and a half have been eventful and exciting. I have some really nice teammates and we have managed to snatch two stars and are now striving higher! I'll update you should something groundbreaking happen :)

I started playing Horse Adventures: Tale of Etria on my phone and within the first day I got the first divine: Etrian. You can see her at All others---> Divine and Wild

I collected enough passes and bought a pegasus account! I immediately made more breeding farms and now my horses are far better organised. Also, I currently have a Philotes' stroke ufo available on my page. So head over to my user page and see them all yourself! :)

And what is a post without some eye candy! Check out these new coats!
