Valshain: Come quick, come quick!

Dawnbreak: What is it?

Valshain: I changed from a Cheese Murfin to a Wizard Osafo! *in shock* I thought lidya was only portaling you, Dawnbreak.

Dawnbreak: Guess she likes the Devil Crindol look more than she let's on.

Camensia: It suits you though.

Dawnbreak: Thanks.

Gearoid: It's pretty quiet here today.

Dawnbreak: Yeah, that's 'cause lidya took almost everybody out for a nice fasoro get together. Putting the six of them together might not be such a good idea though.

Gearoid: Nah, give them some time to themselves. Lidya will straighten them out.

Vastara: I for one, am glad I don't have to deal with that mess. You will all give me the time I deserve now.

Dawnbreak: As if. I might as well cut off now. Let's hope lidya had some good luck with the rest of them.

Gearoid and Camensia: Bye!

Valshain: *still sulking over his new form*

Dawnbreak: 'ello! Lidya's been busy and doesn't want to add the stuff we say to her profile. She can be so stubborn sometimes. Oh well. *sigh* Not much I can do. Even though I'm the oldest of many siblings, she still doesn't listen to me. I was created on the day lidya first joined! I felt so special, starting out as a yellow fasoro. Of course, back then, I looked more like the current gold fasoros than the yellow ones. A few hours later, my sister Starbreak was born. She was a yellow tantua. For the longest time, it was just the two of us and lidya. I got put through the portal a lot, and lidya also kept a large stack of Enchanted Yellow Fasoro Plushies on hand to change me back. She was always just strange like that. However, for my sister Starbreak, lidya saved up so she could be turned into a snowy tantua. Back then, Starbreak was really pretty...

Mirolyn: Okay, okay, my turn, my turn!

Dawnbreak: Hey, I wasn't done yet!

Mirolyn: But you're all so old! I bet you guys don't even remember everything that's happened since then.

ThePerfectPet: I do to! I might be old, but I still remember the day I was given to lidya. I bet Gylantia does to.

Gylantia: Uh, actually, my memory is a bit fuzzy. Maybe you should speak for yourself next time, ThePerfectPet.

ThePerfectPet: How many times do I have to say it? My name is Aquillianna. It's not my fault lidya's being cheap and refusing to buy me a naming ticket.

Dawnbreak: Will you guys stop interrupting me?

Mirolyn: Admit it. Since lidya was gone for most of 2007 and the first half of 2008, most of you were inactive and forgot lots of stuff.

Gylantia: Hey! Well, you wouldn't know how horrible it is, since you never had to go through such a period. Don't bring up bad memories.

Dawnbreak: STOP INTERRUPTING ME! You guys made me lose my place, so I guess I'll just start with when lidya came back after her extended break. I had quite a different set of siblings then I do now. It was me, Starbreak, Gylantia, Aquillianna (*cough* ThePerfectPet *cough*), xox__Toasty__xox, and butterflybabe.

Camensia: I've never met any of them. What were they like?

Dawnbreak: Well, snowy tantuas no longer looked quite so angelic, so lidya put Starbreak in the portal first and she turned millionaire. The coat made her all snobbish and drove lidya absolutely crazy. A nice person who was collecting tantuas traded M

Okay, so I don't always win my auctions, but here are some friendly tips that will help save you time, money, and/or effort.

One: Don't bid too early. Unless you want to keep track of an auction that won't end for another day or more, don't bid when there's still five minutes left. All that does is attract people to the auction and drives up the price.

Two: Bid only the minimum increment. You might think bidding 500 mp more will discourage other people, but trust me, it won't. Unless you want to BUY the item at slightly under market price (bid about 500-2000 below SS price depending on the rarity), use the minimum increment. It'll save you money.

Three: Don't bid on several auctions that all end at the same time. It is much better to focus on one and win it than to try and catch all three and lose everything. I would space auction bids at least a minute apart so you can actually keep watch.

Four: Refresh often and don't get distracted. When there's less than a minute left, constantly refresh and bid at the last second possible.

#5: Which actually goes off of number four...you may have noticed that auctions now purposely display the wrong time. It may be insanely off (all of a sudden, it will say 21 minutes instead of something in seconds), but sometimes, it may be off by just a few seconds. Refresh often as soon as it begins counting down in seconds and establish a baseline for about ten seconds. Make sure exactly what time it is before the 30 second mark. After that, refresh in EXACTLY ONE SECOND intervals and pay NO attention to the time that's displayed. Count down the time in your head until you hit 2-3 seconds, then bid.

The constant refreshing helps you more accurately count down the seconds and refreshes the needed bid price so that when you bid, you won't get a "bid too low" error.

I decided to dedicate a whole blog entry to xuer, because I saw someone else doing for a pet they loved.

Xuer was my ultimate dream pet, both in LEs and non-LEs. I thought I would never be able to obtain one, until I saw a post saying she was being given away!

Now, I normally don't do any applications, because I'm horrible at poems, stories, and graphics, which is what most people look for. However, I could promise a good, permanant home and an increase in stats to the best of my ability. To my surprise, I actually recieved her! *pokes xuer's fledgling stats* I'm doing my best to keep that promise.

Now, I think it's strange that everyone adores LEs that much more than regular pets. Why? They don't look any better. I know everyone says, you can get any non-LE pet through the portal, but do they realize how hard it is to actually get the pet you want out of the portal?

I'll love xuer until the end of marapets (may that day never come), and she will be cherished more than any future pet, LE or non-LE, that I may obtain.
