Clare Watch

I am officially on Clare Watch.  This is Clare.

She's LEVEL 98!

She might make it to 100 before reset!  From here until reset, I will now officially be crossing my fingers for her.  All the time.  Boy is this hard to type.

  • Don't strain your back hauling all those gnomes around!

    Good luck. :)

  • AHEM.

    clare will officially be swishing it in the hoop, nothin' but net (I really suck at sports analogies, can you tell), and turning 100 this Saturday, September 10th, 2011, at 3pm EASTERN STANDARD TIME. 

    We hope this is sufficiently accommodating for as many time zones as possible, and yes we know we are screwing over people in Asia who don't have insomnia, sorry!

    Location is still TBD, as we are worried about excessive lag if the street gets too packed, will advise on that ASAP.

    See you and your gnomes there.

  • Nanookie - you're awesome. Thanks for the update.

  • Yes, you rule, Nanookie. <3

    FYI to all that I have 100K to go. I probably can't play much on Friday anyway, and will wait till Saturday at noon to do the last levelling up.

    Thank you, everyone, for having fun with this!

  • Can you tell us how much gold is awarded at level 100? I'm curious.
    Posted 15 months ago by The Crepeist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'll try to remember to keep track! (Of how many currants I get for levelling up to 100.)

  • Great - Should be able to make this.  Someone remember to take a few screen shoots.

    @Clare - are you going to wear anything special??

  • She's gonna get a Town Statue or Shrine dedicated right?
    Posted 15 months ago by Xyrem Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hoping she doesn't, so we can all recognize her!

    Location still TBD, but it will most likely be in Groddle Forest or Meadow, since a certain sentimentality takes over at some point and one starts waxing on about "historical significance" and such.  We also have to rook out all the critters in advance to reduce the lag in case we get a good size crowd...I hope we get a good sized crowd.

  • Everyone there should give her a prize. (Something like a music block, gem, ect.)
    Posted 15 months ago by Paxton Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Should we all give her gnomes? :p

  • We are giving her gnomes now Fokian Fool to help her reach the 100.

  • i would love a little video of all the frogs delivering gnomes to you.

    In my mind it's very very funny... although in fact it may just be a bunch of frogs hovering or a lot of wobbling mail boxes when you next sign in... with gnomes spilling out.

    if you think you're going to be short let us know- I'd be happy to keep dispatching gnomes in your direction.

  • Oh I really hope it was "my" gnome that put her over the top!

  • OK!

    clare's 100 party will be tomorrow, SATURDAY, 9/10/11 at 3pm EST in Marrakesh Meadow!

    Hope to see you all there!

  • Thank you, all!

    Some info:
    1. I had not thought to change my clothes, so I will stick with what Nanookie said and look the same as I always do.
    2. I haven't gotten more than one frog at a time. Most things seem to go to the mailbox. 
    3. Nanookie rules!
    4. I need about 63K XP to level up at this point and haven't yet logged on this evening, so I will chip away on that tonight. I might need gnomes! I'm not yet sure!
    (update: 45K XP to go)

    If there were a visual to go with this, it would be hilarious to set up a bucket brigade of passing gnomes along... but, of course, we wouldn't actually SEE anything if we did that! Similarly, gnome throwing events would be a hoot, but we cannot. Also, there does not appear to be any gnome apparel available.

  • Is it possible to set your own gnome down in front of you?  We could each bring a gnome and drop it in front of us if we were strung out in a line along the street.
    Posted 15 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think you can only put a gnome down at your own home. :-(

    Juggling gnomes! We should be able to juggle them!

  • Speaking on behalf of GFERFG (short for "Glitches for Equal Rights for Gnomes", pronounced "ferf"), we are vehemently opposed to gnome bucket brigades and gnome juggling. It's bad enough they constantly get words put in their mouths and are regularly unceremoniously sacrificed to the gods. I have it on good authority that a gnome representative has been sent to negotiate an alliance with the rooks. When the gnome revolution comes, which side will you be on?

    (oh, and GO CLARE. whoop whoop!).

  • What time will you level up today
    Posted 15 months ago by Paxton Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The party will start at noon PST today. I will level up soon after that, assuming that lag doesn't prevent it somehow.
    Posted 15 months ago by clare Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Some requests for people attending the party, because we fear the lag:

    Please avoid:
    1. Sneezing powder
    2. Sparkle powder
    3. Rolling dice
    4. ... and probably other things I'm not thinking of that grind things to a halt!

    Thank you, everyone!

    1 and 2 have been defanged. you can't use them on a street with more that a certain number of people.

    3 remains horrible.

  • By now I think you have made it to 100 so a special CONGRATULATIONS to you for setting an example that most of us aspire to.  This is an amazing achievement especially considering that the game is not open 24/7.  Soon there may be others who achieve level 100 and in a shorter time but their achievements will not begin to touch yours, you are my inspiration!

  • Thank you Brib Annie!

    I am waiting till 3 to level up, so not yet!
