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...

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!

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

Dive into the summer!

I did my final exam today and I feel so relieved! The summer can come now! No more studying! Yipee!

And with the summer a new event has come to Howrse - the underwater excavations. Yet again, the concept is pretty great, but really, I have to find 162 bones to get a divine. Geez, Ow just wants to make it so impossible! And of course if you are a pass millionaire, you can literally buy yourself that divine.Why? Why? Why? x.x

Well anyways I am going to play it, cause I never know when luck might struck...
