Now, I'm not usually a big poster in this community, but this event has really fired up my competitive spirit.

Team Kou-kun: LET'S GO! )
 
 
Howdy, Hola, Hey there, Doumo, 'Sup?

I'm one of dem new kids on the block, Sotto. Pronounce it however you will - bonus points for doing it in an Italian accent! =D EXTRA bonus points if you get what I'm referencing in the title. XD;;

Anyways, I'll get to the point: the goal is the Pot of Gold, baby. I've more or less given up on the Orange goal (how'm I supposed to gather 160 matching cards in a month from basically scratch? *sob*), but I haven't lost hope for any of the others!

Here's the current Status Quo:
- Red: DONE!
- Orange: I GIVE UP!
- Yellow: DONE!
- Green: WORKING ON IT!
- Blue: RAPIDLY LOSING HOPE!
- Purple: DONE!
- Brown: DONE!
- Gray: BOILING ON DEM BACK-BURNERS, CAPTAIN!

My two biggest hurdles here are the Green Task (trade with 30 different members this month), and the Blue Task (trade in two of every color crayon). The Green Task shouldn't have been so hard, but I'm balancing Colors on top of a full nine-to-five job, in addition to learning the game and developing strategies for efficient task- and card-tracking. However, dat Blue Task would normally be straight up impossible for a newb like me, because there are only so many ways you can earn crayons, and I only have so many hours a day to work with here.

And then, here's where you GENEROUS FOLKS and SCHOLARS step in. ' w '

Generous Folks and Scholars, right this way... )
