Kuroida Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Do you ever get struck with the sudden impulse to do something you never thought you'd ever do? Like on half price day I suddenly felt the need to buy tons and tons of books to rank up my pet's intelligence. And today. I never cared much for avatars. Especially the ones that are insanely hard to get but now I find myself aiming for 1000 items for packrat. Just today I've scored almost 300 items XD So. Has this ever happened to you before? Do you ever achieve these goals or do you just let them fade away in time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinoa812 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Lol I do all time. For instance nearly every stamp I own I got at one time cuz I decided I needed more stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Um yea... it happens sometimes XD. I decided to up the intelligence of my Pteri above 500 the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I've been working towards goals for the past 9 years. I've accomplished a few like a baby cybunny, getting super avatars, and pack rat was a goal at one point. But a lot of goals have just taken forever or have faded away completely. So we'll see I suppose :) Good luck towards your goals by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yes... but something bad: Impulse shopping :( I buy a bunch of stuff that I don't really need. Just like real life. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayHumbert Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yes! I played meepit juice break on zen mode TWICE! I think any insanity can be pardoned.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caly Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yeah... I spontaneously decided to customize all four pets on one of my sides and now my bank account's hurting pretty badly. Pleased with the results though :wub_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiCe Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Even though something may look nearly impossible, it's only impossible when you don't even give it a try. Pick your goals, and go for it! I never had more then 3 million neopoints when I decided to go malling. My goal was to get my shop into main market. (= size 630) For that you need to invest over 38 million neopoints!! Slowly my shop started growing. While it was growing, I was gaining more neopoints with my shop. After one year, I got to main market and a few months later my shop was even over size 700!! Now I've invested over 50 million in it, and honestly I can't see myself earning that amount in the time I did... When you have a goal, you just go with the flow. You will almost always get there if you try and don't give up easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fableheart Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Totally. I've totally had these impulses. Once, my impulse was to get a Desert Xwee, then it just faded away. I just dismiss my whims ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Happens to me alot. I get book urges, BD urges, stock market urges... Basically everything that leaves me with about 5 np total... xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSilverMistx Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 it happens, usally i spend a lot on stamps, shells, books, clothes, or i just go on a gaming spree and make at least 50,000+ each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fableheart Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Silver: nice! I wish I had as much energy as you. The most I can make outta games is 20K before I quit :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Recently I've been hit by the impulse to play several rounds of Key Quest to try and earn some decent NP (instead of just staying broke as usual). :yes: But apart from that, my Neopets life is pretty boring - I'm generally too lazy to follow any impulses I have. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurabelle Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I went on a christmas shopping spree for my pet. I figured I'd buy her cute holiday things before prices inflated over the actual holidays. I try not to take money out of the bank when these sprees happen, but inevitably I always find one more thing that I don't have enough for, and then another, and then another...

Spritzie Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I do this fairly often. I went on a stamp spending spree for a few days. Then it was books. (My Draik has now read nearly 200 books, and she's about a month and a half old now.) But I've tried to lay the ground rule of not taking NP out of the bank. I usually play my games until I have about 30-40k, then I'll do some spending. Unless it's special purchases (the Silhouette BGs, Christmas PP PB/Slorg, Bag of Peanuts for the avatar) I do my best to not go beyond my earning for the day.

Secre Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I do it quite regularly - my plushies are a long term thing but most of my early plushies were from that that sudden insane impulse. Most of my stamps are the same...same with the books and my battledome training! I go through phases but the avatar phase was most impressive probably as I had almost none and now have an almost respectable amount!

Kuroida Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I make a set 10K a day. Not enough to satisfy my impulses but just enough to go crazy on half price day :P My avatar phase consisted of me going through the list and clicking all the links and getting all the easy to get avatars. After that I couldn't be bothered anymore :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that I couldn't be bothered anymore :S I tend to make at least 20k at least on games. Before this plot and therefore all my money is being spent on training, I had a deal that I would put 20k a day into my bank. 15k into shares and the rest was pure spendable. Often or not this would go on random plushies or avatars. On a good day I could make up to 80k. But those were rare! I have no idea what I'm making now as I'm buying codestones every 3 hours or so and if I have enough putting the 15k into shares...and today I took 200k out of my account to buy a Greater Healing Scroll - impulse buy but probably needed for the next wave!

Kuroida Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 200K?! o.o I don't even have 200K in the bank! XD I did have this impulse to buy that magmut I've been wanting....but then when I went to a shop I realized I couldn't even buy it because I have +200 items in my inventory (all doubles for packrat). That effectively put an end to my craving :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldoror122 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I randomly have book urges. My pet has already read 600+ books and has 1000+ intelligence, but it's still not enough for me lol. I told myself though, to resist the urge to buy books until half-price day. I'll probably also go on a stamp-buying spree that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Nope, not for things that are out of the ordinary for me. Like I'll get the urge to buy a lot of clothes or books, but those are pretty normal. I'm a big customizer, and one of my pets is a reader. But those are rare, usually I just to dailies.
