I'm still working on that achievement but a bit further along, so no worries. My holiday season was busy but lots of fun, how was yours? Chocolate chip cookies sound amazing.

Late response but I didn't even hear about the planned overhaul, wow. People will definitely throw a fit about any change, so that'll be fun lol. Congrats on completing the lines though!!

Oooh I remember that sidebar. The navigation on this site is definitely due for an overhaul though, so I hope it'll go smoothly!

okee... Have enough for 4 more full lots in trades..

I dunno.. I've been ok with the site changes. As long as the forthcoming one doesn't look like buzzfeed, I'll probably be ok with it too. Hmm.. I wonder if Keith has any previews posted elsewhere?...

Yeah, I'm not really the type to care much about the site changes either, but a lot of people do. I like our color schemes but a dark one would be nice for late at night in dark environments.

I still have 3 trade lots available for Snow Fairies, for the Free All the Fairies achievement. My Trades

Happy New Year from the UK, everyone!

Happy new year to you too!

So how are y'all?

Ahh! I'm so excited! I hope that the virus that I chose is a good and gory one ^u^

Did anyone else pick a new strain & if so, which one?

[-Dattoo] I picked healing. Apparently the viruses are bug based this year.

Ooh, that's exciting! Well, that and kinda disturbing. I'll try to follow how your infection progresses & if it looks cool I might consider picking it at some point as well. Anyway, once I'm done with this one (Healing, apparently), I'll get the Glowing one and then I'll try to pick the most fun looking one.

Also btw; is there a way for me to see the progress somewhere?

[-Dattoo] I'm not too big on bugs myself but I'm sure they'll be interesting. I almost with with Dissolving at first.

I'm not sure there is a way for you to see your own progress without taking off all your clothes in the wardrobe. I think the new wardrobe doesn't work with the link we've used in the past. There is a tracking topic in the Survival forums though.

Tbh I'm afraid of bugs, but hey. It's still kinda neat. I mean, that probably means that the virus strains will be super gross and stuff, which is a huge bonus. For some reason I love the gross skins :'D

Ah, bummer! I guess I'll go check the tracking thread every now and then then. Well, at least until the infection starts showing properly on my HA.

Also oops, I had forgotten to clean up my earlier post. I had earlier thought that I had picked the sporeous one but when I saw the wasp sting on my HA's forehead I realized I had the healing one instead.

[-Dattoo] Hopefully we don't just turn into giant wasps. There would have to be a reason for it to be called healing right? Surely there's something between wasps and healing. At first I thought it was going to be scabby. Or maybe peeling like a sunburn.

It's an unfortunate way to start the virus since our hair covers it up.

I picked encompassing! :O See how it goes

I'm a wimp and went for Love Bug. I never fancy my chances on the unknown. Much nicer to watch them progress from a distance.

I have to go bald to see my virus effects.

My favorite items this year are and .

The zombie plushies are pretty cute.

My favorite item is the dalek-inspired one ^_^

EEEEEEE Survival!

I accidentally bought double on a few Zombie Den items if anybody would like one.

I can't wait to see the results of this infection. For what I've seen it seems that we're filled with a honeycomb like structures -- what that means for the next stage, I have no idea. Maybe we'll turn into giant honey blobs (which would mean that the wasps are bees instead? :'D), though your fear of turning into giant wasps sounds more realistic imo.
