Ritual For Cubimal Purchases

Here goes:
1. Buy 7 boxes...don't move!
2. Don't close trade window, open boxes...left to right.
3. Close trade window...don't move.
4. Race each cubi, left to right, racing the next before the first finishes.
5. Eyeballery if one really gets going!
6. Drop each cubi, left to right...keeping the good ones.
7. Move along, head hung low,...glancing back at your currants total every now and again.
8. Start collecting more resources for your next BIG buy and maybe, buy a larger volume at one go!

  • 1. Tell myself that i absolutely will not make a trip to the toy vendor today to buy a cubimal.
    2. Find that I need general vapour, TP to Jedimadh.
    3. Convince myself that 'one little box' is not going to bankrupt me, happily jump to Oulanka End.
    4. Open a piggie. One more, that will be the Rook, I just know it. A chick. One more, this one's gonna be it. A butterfly. OK this is the last one, c'mon Rook. A firefly.
    5. Look at currant balance, decide it's not so bad to be poor after all. One more. GD'it another pig!
    6. Tell myself that I absolutely will never buy another cubimal again.
    7. Repeat

    1. Go home.
    2. Do normal stuff.
    3. Suddenly become overcome with desire for new cubi.
    4. Go straight to Jacob's Climb
    5. Buy a SINGLEEE cubi box.
    6. Mutter, "Rook, rook, rook."
    7. Open box.
    8. Be
    a) disappointed
    b) elated
    9. If a, say to self, "The next one will be good." If b, say to self, "Today's my lucky day!"
    10. Repeat 5-10 until I become dangerously close to 100k.

  • Hahaha, I love this game and you all!

    Ritual:
    mine, smelt, rub
    sell
    mine, smelt, rub
    sell
    mine, obsess over mining
    smelt till near death
    rub till I need to mine more sparkly
    mine, rub
    sell
    buy a billion cubimal boxes
    open
    joy, glee, so many cuties to line the floor
    later...oh, none of the rares...
    mine, etc, sell, buy
    notice how all the piggies' tails are all curled
    think about the chicks I've fed and smiled at, look at chick cubies
    think about magic rock and how I love him
    notice crowded floor
    stash every extra behind places or on doorstops or give to newbies and dash
    mine, smelt, rub, sell
    buy more!

    I am currently on hiatus and am saving up for all the rares to buy in market.  I know I'll just buy new boxes instead because I love the fun of opening them, taking the chance and falling in love with the ordered designs I make inside my house with them all.

  • Ha Ha Ha!!! I KNOW why we dash after we give a newbie a premium cubi! It's like giving someone cooties...AND, no take-backs!!! If I'm not mistaken, smart-newbies keep their bags full to prevent becoming mules for us cubimal-pushers!
    Posted 10 months ago by bayBi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, newbies bags are always full!  I guess they are still in the "can't afford a new bag" stage.  I remember that stage, nothing fit, I had to eat just to make room!
    Posted 10 months ago by Minkey Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Is it wrong if after all that being on hiatus stuff I just spent 200,000c on new cubimal boxes?  I did get a Gwen...

  • - Tell people I'm not going to buy cubimals anymore so I can save up some currants.
    - Save up a lot currants.
    - Stumble upon a street with a toy vendor.
    - No more currants.

  • Heh ... and my house is on a street with a toy vendor!  But all my cubimals go to the giants, unopened.

    I was the same way with Beany Babies. Never opened them, just put them on eBay.

  • -Collect and cook til a pre-decided currant amount--100k, 200k, whatever. Be sure to go a little over so I have money for supplies afterwards.
    -Teleport to Marylpole Mount and buy ALL THE CUBI BOXES in one go.
    -Open, open, open. Record my winnings so I can track stats. Maybe this time I'll get lucky.
    -Either yay, AAA cubi! Or boo, five piggies in a row.
    -Feel overwhelmed with luck. Buy more cubi boxes with saved supplies money.
    -Teleport home, drop all cubis except squids (my darlings stay with me at all times, I have almost a whole bag full).
    -Repeat.

  • I've no idea if munching rubeweed before opening the boxes increases your chances of a rare cubimal; but the first time I did it, as an experiment, I got a nice little Juju. So now I always have to much rubeweed, just in case...

  • Just in case...ha! Three little words that bind us to small, plastic-pixels.

    At least Beany Babies were in see-through packaging! My heart skipped a beat after reading..."But all my cubimals go to the giants, unopened." What would you do if after throwing in your boxes and a giant's response is..."Thank you! Donating the 'Stoot' Cubimal gets you MINUS 100000000 points! Seeing that it was manufactured once, and the mold broken! Now go away, and don't EVER come back!!!

    What if and just in case...Giants love 'em.

  • *gasp* UNOPENED?! But that's the best part!

    I still buy them because I was really dead set on opening them all. I've opened all of them many many times EXCEPT the dang Magic Rock! SOME DAY!

    Thanks to this blog I might have to end my week long no cubimal buying streak.
