Hi! Sorry for the last weak, but I am ill :/ I try my best and do the things this week.

Oh that's bad :( Hope you get better soon! Don't feel forced to do this if you can't. It is a gold rush but we're only competing with ourselves so as long as you get there, you're not blamed for anything. Take your time to recover! :)

I've been buying complementary tokens to vend all 500 items daily and autopricing them. I spend around 1mil on additional tokens and I gain over 3-4mil daily on the shop when I autoprice (and I vend from machines that give the weekend quest mostly) so it pays off most of the time.

Posted my update a little early this week (its usually on Saturday) I am on vacation for a week, but this weekend we will be out of town and i wont be able to screenshot on my device. SOOO.. i posted early! Passed the 200mill total mark! i think ive done pretty well so far!

So I was totally bad I didn't ping this earlier that the 12th is the 2nd monday. Ping me if you are interested to start either that date or the following monday. That was all my fault.

I am almost back! Took longer than I expected but we should be moving in tomorrow as today we were painting. So fingers crossed I should be back to this challenge 100% on monday but if not I will reping. Also brought up a point about would it be ok to sell the csc you get from the pools? What do you guys think?

I love that you're doing this and I hope to join up directly after Lumi (since I plan to spend EVERYTHING then lol) These pings in between every month are gonna be an awesome reminder to get ready hehe (and maybe an extra boost to my saving motivation for Lumi. ^_^ Good luck everyone!

I would think it would be ok. I think any way you can make sP since the start of the event is fair game?

Glad to hear! Yeah I am expecting people to join after lumi which is honestly a great way to clear sp. I am cool with it so long as you got the CSC for free or via sp. I am not cool with people paying for csc to sell it for profit. It is an unfair boost for users who can't pay and like the point is to do so via on site/free methods. But I am not sure how much csc you get from the pools. I think like 150?

Right i can understand that. so it would be you can sell csc, as long as it comes from a site event?? you get 100 csc per month i believe.

I never bought CSC and I don't plan to do that in the close future. I just trade things for CSC, like those lots that trade amulets and tomes for CSC, and the leftover I don't need I tend to sell (and regret it later) but it's always those odd amounts. I don't see that as a problem since I understand the said rule as "don't sell the CSC you bought for real money" since that would be unfair.

Yeah, I agree with what everyone else has been saying - if you got it from playing the site, then it's fair game to sell.

On a slightly different note, I'm curious as to how people see CWs fitting into this. I drew some up way back when that now sit in a CW shop and occasionally still sell. It's money earned through the site rather than being purchased, but I've just figured that it didn't count for this since CWs are a rather specialized niche and not everyone can create their own, but on the other hand, I think if someone commissioned an item using money earned through games/questing it would be reasonable that they could sell any csc profits made from the venture. (Not that this really matters to me because I am such a hoarder/spender rather than a seller, haha)

Late, but yup, I'm interested in starting today! Clearing everything out now.

The thing is we are going by the honor system. There is no way I would know if someone bought it with $$ or sp .etc. I don't mind if people sell what they earned via site or gift. It only looks suspicious in large amounts.

So I guess I'll get started then? Let me know if I shouldn't!

Progress: [li] 9/12/16: 7 sp + 0 till [li] 9/20/16: 14,018,654 sp + 3,567,715 till [li]kinda died, yay engineering school [li] 10/18/16: 19,135,130 sp + 5,723,911 till

Good luck everyone! I hope you guys have had good luck with the restocks.

Man, this thread is quiet.

I'm so torn, you guys. Saving vs. a pet idea, where the TC items cost 43 and 57 mil respectively. I want so badly to spend the money, but...all my progress!

yeah it is pretty quiet. Look at it the way i am. once i get to my final goal, i will be able to buy all the pet slots, and anything else i desire! all at once!!

I am also torn on whether to try and chat it up in here, since I was one of the second wave joiners and I'm not sure if that's what folks wanna do, but....

Yeah, that would be the smart way to do it! That TC idea mocks me, though. On the other hand, those prices mock me, too. It's an insane amount of sP for a couple of items that aren't even weapons.

Okay. Not spending. Holding strong to goals (small exception: Alegarten!)

I can't wait for Morostide. c:

I dont see why we cant chat it up here, at the very least, to try and help each other be strong haha! yes ill be buying alegarten stuff myself. i was new last year and didnt have the sP to go crazy shopping haha!

I kinda wish there was more chatting! I know I enjoy realizing that I'm not alone in this crazy attempt. c:

I hope you've bought all the things this year! I did, and it made my bank account whine, but it's totally worth it.

I'll do better stopping by the thread, too!

Here's a question, probably for the thread heads - event threads, like trick or treating, kissing, flowers, etc. Are we interested in those? If one were made and folks pung, would anyone come? (ToT is not far away, ooOOOoOOOoOO!)

I say this because I'd be glad to toss up a ZtH thread if I happen to be first on the scene, but I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes if they want to do that themselves, or if we're not accepting more participants at the moment or if people just don't want event threads.

- I spent a good deal of the sp I'd been throwing in my bank in Alegarten xD got all the stuff I'd missed last year.

- I would come for those threads! Always up for a good event thread.
