What else I did on my spring vacation

[kiya]

So, arawen and I spent three days in an in-house vacation (two at my house, one at his). We've needed something of the sort to recover from some extensive strain induced by the last N months of careening madness and thus took the time to reconnect.

We did a whole lot of nothing.

We did a whole lot of other stuff too, mind, but there was a lot of nothing involved. Some talking. Some amiable companionship in each other's space. teinedreugan's cat was blissfully not obnoxious (this is not a given when teinedreugan is absent of an evening).

On Friday, we got together with teinedreugan and whispercricket for dinner and ice cream and then went on a walk which mostly stopped at an otherwise-unoccupied playground. With a swingset. And a variety of other fine things.

Saturday was spent laughing at the silly things gamers say and don't notice are funny until someone in the next room over cracks up, catching up on things, and starting with Tribal Wars. Heh.

But. Swings!

Welcome to tribal wars! I've been playing since world 3 went live, but now I only play on world 8.

I'm on World 19 in Utter N00bville. Most of the 45 point villages have come out of newbie bubble though, so I at least have fucktons of resources.... :}

Boy, it sure does feel like it, doesn't it? I'm up around 800,000 points in W8, and progress from here is slow, because all the villages around me are now mine, my tribemates, or my tribe's allies'.

Small word of advice to a new player: this isn't a civ building game. It has those elements, but don't get pulled in to thinking that's what the game is about.

Wow, that's a lot. I'm at 455. :}

About a minute and I'll have finished researching light cav!
