My Neo-luck has always been sporadic.
 
Best example: I went nearly 10 years without a random visit from the Fountain Faerie (though, I HAD been lucky with a couple Quest Cookie visits). TEN YEARS and nary a non-cookie/random visit. Then, I had TWO Random Fountain Faerie quests within the space of 4 hours. o.O
 
It is all random random random. It is frustrating, though, to see folks with crazy good random luck!
 
Just keep at it...I'm sure your luck will turn (and hopefully it won't take 10 years!)
 
:P

Aww I'm sure your luck will turn around sooner or later!
My luck also has been horrid lately(attempts to hide white paint brush that was won from fruit machine).

I told u guys, when pp join a large group they will rely on each other and not attack, this is why we lost this Round so sad, I worked so hard +1300 BATTLES

I've kept them for no good reason. Just that if I discard them, I won't be able to get them back and I'm a compulsive hoarder :p

Drackonack - Hungry is seriously giving me some agro at the moment ¬_¬ I'll refresh constantly for about half an hour every day, sometimes more, and I've been doing so for two weeks. GAHHHHH!! JUST GIMME IT!! XD

Oooooooo, yay! I love horses, so I'm so glad I saw this thread. I suppose I am the stereotypical Texan, because I have owned many horses (my dad had a ranch) and I just think that they are AMAZING creatures. After we sold the last of our horses, I missed working with them so much that I decided to volunteer taking care of horses on ranches for special needs children. It is very fun/ rewarding work :D

SSW is a big help during my dailies, and finding codestones/dubloons for training. The 5th pet slot is the most useful for me though, since I use that to adopt pets for avatars (or to try for Turmaculus).

Yeah, I have a personal policy about neomails from rude people. You only get the chance to be rude to me once. After I respond respectfully, if you don't change your attitude, my block finger gets itchy, and you get the ban hammer. In extreme cases, you get reported too. I don't put up with that crap, but lucky for me, I've not had any issues from the Trading Post. Almost everyone who has ever neomailed me has been nice, heh.
 
Sorry you encountered such dung stains on the TP! *hugs*

I gave up on the Coincidence a long time ago. In my opinion, it isn't worth it. If they start doling out retired avatars again then I will definitely take it back up, but until then I think the cost is significantly greater than the potential reward.

I remember including a Faerie Pteri as my dream pet in this thread, and a kind TDN user gave her to me! :)
 
I think my current dream pets are a Maraquan Kougra or a Maraquan Draik. The sea serpent style of the Draik is just so pretty!

I've discarded well over 5,000 items and still haven't gotten the avatar.
 
I'm starting to think it's never going to happen.

I'd be willing to donate my MSPP (TCG), darn thing refuses to give me the avatar anyway.

I'm an equine professional! I teach and train horses and show them. I just LOVE taking care of them. I have two at home. One is a retired Welsh show pony and the other is a paint draft cross that I take fox hunting. Horses are amazing. I don't think I could survive without them...

I completely agree with you AzuraBlue. I'm getting a little fed up and frustrated with the riots against one thing or another without looking at the big picture and trying to change the mentality of the masses which fosters and creates these disparities.
 
I think one of the bigger issues than the sexual abuse or misogyny is the role of gender and the areas of the country (world) which still hold onto these ridiculous notions of what is it to be a man or a woman.
 
I grew up in the south and loved (still love) so many aspects of the culture there as far as speaking respectfully, allowing someone to communicate why they disagree with you (without being belittled) and even chivalry. On the flip side, I am continuously disappointed and enraged when I hear stories about the south trying to hinder marriage equality, women's rights and even those about good old fashion racism. This mind frame is toxic all equality and devalues everyone.
 
Until I met my current boyfriend (and baby's daddy) about five years ago, I thought that many of the issues you all have brought up were normal.
 
I developed (physically) very early and was made aware of it from a young age, when girls in class would accuse me of "stuffing" and the torment only grew through my school years.
 
With my southern sense of "not bringing attention to dirty details" and to not be a burden to my family or friends, I endured years of abuse from many men and women I met. In high school, I felt that the things that happened to me were deserved, that I somehow encouraged or asked for it. I was treated like a sl*t because I had a huge chest on a small frame (i'm 5'4''.) I got in trouble with teachers for being "out of dress code" because shirts did not fit me well and anything I wore was "exposing too much." I went through middle school and much of high school in men's shirts and long sleeve shirts (in Florida.)
 
I went through college and my young adult life in a haze of aggressive/possessive/psychotic men, overly touchy "friends" and constant stares/glares/whispers.
 
I was always the girl telling the "less endowed" how lucky they were to escape such attention, mockery and fear. I was the girl who would sleep with anyone because my chest took up too much room in my shirt and made my stomach show a little (even though I was actually very prudish.)
 
The fact that I was abused never dawned on me until I met my boyfriend and we started talking about our pasts. He is also a victim of abuse (even though he's 6'4'' and has been on the taller side most of his life) and does not remember much of his childhood. This campaign annoys me if only for the fact that he is excluded. He has been treated like a piece of meat throughout his life (he was very athletic and girls tried to use him, assuming he was a pig like most all-star athletes) and doesn't deserve to be lumped into a "all guys do this." I wouldn't have known or considered how much my past weighed on me and how poorly I had been treated or protected if I hadn't had him to give me the courage to confront it.
 
No one deserves this and I'm not sure how to really address it without a massive overhaul in the way we talk to each other and what we value as a society.
 
It has taken me these five years to start to address some of my own prejudices and fears. I still get nervous when I'm alone around a group of guys just as I still pack-rat food (from years of going hungry but another discussion altogether.) I still get stares from old men, still get comments from cocky young latinos, and it's even worse since I had my baby (as my cup size has doubled.)
 
I fear this has become a disheveled rant and I'm not sure if it's even coherent but I tried. The whole thing is very triggery for me but I'm use to it and I definitely fall into the "other people have it worse, I can deal with what happens to me" but now I have a baby and it's not ok. It's not alright for anyone to have to endure and it is a huge goal for me to make my son respectful and aware of to treat others and how we impact those around us. He's going to be a beast (in size) and I will not have him become a monster.

I support Argentina... Ha, I get lots of comments from Brazilians about it. I doubt we will win the cup (though that would be fantastic and I would dye my hair blue.) At first I thought Germany would take home the cup this year, but now I have no idea. :sad01_anim:

I finally knocked down one of those darn coconuts! Along with the 10k, I was given an Infernal Evil Coconut. Not too shabby (:

Guys! Guys! Guys! I did it :happydance: All Star today! (Major improvement from my last two showings: participant and rank 4.)

For me, it's the fact that so many items are near impossible to get. I am so willing to work my butt off to get some stuff, but it's hard to keep the motivation for some things when they show up on the market at all rarely. :(
