Ack! What am I doing here in the forum? So many strangers! Such a wide open space!

Dear Melody Pond,
Remember when you suggested I write a forum post about this? I was thinking of maybe posting something along the following lines:
“I’m a mere 61 XP points into level 59 (having visited only ONE public street since I left the tutorial) and am now prepping for my biggest experiment yet: trying to see just how much XP it’s possible to earn in one game day.
“So far I’ve gathered the ingredients for about 500 of each seasoned bean and 2070 pots of proper rice, all of which will take about three hours to craft and will give around 240k XP. Add in a huge shrine donation and it’s up to almost 300k.
“I plan to spend the remaining hour on seasoning eggs, and am now in the process of gathering supplies for 829 butterfly eggs and 1243 piggy eggs. In case you’re wondering what that means in terms of resources, making 829 butterfly eggs requires 8290 tiny bubbles, and making 8290 tiny bubbles requires almost 25k plain bubbles. Piggy eggs require seven hard bubbles each, with each hard bubble taking five plain ones. That’s a lot of plain bubbles.
“And now I’m starting to feel the pressure of time. I have to conduct this experiment before the shift from XP to imagination, and I only get one shot at it so I want to be super prepared. I need to start the big day with as little XP as possible, but somehow I ended up at level 59 without having harvested enough bubbles. I can’t do the harvesting myself because harvesting generates XP. I’ve already had tons of help from folks behind the scenes but now I’m finally desperate enough to appeal to the general public. As you might guess from my username, doing ANYTHING that involves the general public is totally traumatic for me.
“But. The bubbles. I am in need of them. Billions of them. Please help. Please send bubbles. In return I can offer a share in the glory (because it WILL be glorious) and, uh, some thank-you eggs?”
What do you think?
Too wordy, huh. Maybe posting on the forum isn’t such a good idea. I didn’t even say anything about all the other ways I’m planning on getting XP, like swf games and icons and some other secret methods. How do people write short, informative posts? I think I need to go back inside my house and close all the curtains now and figure out a different way to get bubbles.

I'm trying to do this experiment by the end of this month.

P.S. I just realized I should probably explain that "Agoraphobe" is my experimental alt account (wanted to see how far I could get without accruing any streets on the travel leaderboard) and that some of you may already know me as Sirentist.

I just added this one because I didn't think there were enough "Edited to add"s and also because I like my vertical ellipses.

It's a few days later and HOORAY! You all have sent me billions of bubbles! Thank you all for such an awesome response. Is it horrible to ask for more? I'm now in need of the cherries. That's right. ALL of them. Turns out they're crucial to my secret plan. They were so secret I didn't even know I needed them until just the other day.
Should I do a tl;dr version? Here:
I've got bubbles enough;
now it's cherries I luff!
Annnnd I think I just lolspeaked. Lolspake? Either way, somebody please kill me now.

Success! Cherry mission accomplished! Thank you, everyone, for your generosity and well wishes. As soon as we figure out the little details, it's a go. I'll let you know how it all unfolds.
