The Sunflower Club! A New Years Resolution

Deleted • 6 January 2020 at 3:48 AM

@jlya Wow, just wow. That's a miraculous work. And nice, I remember trying to plant sunflowers once. We failed because we potted it, and it lacked some nutrients.. Oops?

@apple_dumpling You have the BEST Ideas! That's great. Thanks!

@qerrats Yeah, there's a Crpyto, frozen at 2nd stage. I wonder where it went?

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 11:58 AM

@playermocha345 xD I have absolutely no idea. I think I had him twice before, but (thank goodness) he's not in my cove. I'd feel so guilty if I'd forgotten him xD So what if we kinda copied that but with an Asteran egg. I could (probably) scrap up the cc to get a potion of rebirth, so we wouldn't have to worry about getting one frozen or anything. Any thoughts?

@playermocha345
Lol, I can't grow anything to save my life. xD But those sunflowers just showed up out of nowhere. ❤️ Makes me smile every time I think back to it. 😊

@qerrats
Oh, totally, I always had to explain what frambled eggs were to my friends. xD They were baffled. For some weird reason when I was a little kid I absolutely hated scrambled eggs, but hook me up with a frambled one anytime. xD It drove my mom crazy. I haven't had a frambled egg in a long time, though. I should make one again. 😋
Also thanks @skyfall4 for starting the whole egg conversation. xD
Lol, I love that. ❤️
I don't know if any of you are writers, but I love when I write something and then I hear or see that same phrase or name somewhere else. It brings me a special joy. ❤️

Anyway, back to the whole Asteran egg idea, it's a wonderful idea in thought, but the execution could go really well or really awful. xD I always got so stressed when I was in charge of the little Crypto, because I was scared to death I would accidentally leave it in my cove or be stuck with it during hiatus or something. xD I honestly love the idea of the club sharing the Asteran, but I'm worried it would get stuck with me, lol.

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 1:09 PM

@jlya xD I might have to try making frambled eggs when I get home 😱

I agree with that really well or really awful xD Maybe no one would participate and it would be a waste of time, or maybe everyone would want to take it and it would be a thing that went on forever o_0 I think, if it was successful, it could help connect us and give us something to take care of. And yes, I know that stress xD I was fortunate in that both times I took care of the Crypto, a user posted on my wall every day asking when they could have it, making sure it was impossible for me to forget xD I guess we could have some sort of 'three day limit' or something, it wouldn't be that strict. Maybe after a user had it for three days, we could just remind them to give it back or something xD And I could totally take it if someone had it, and no one else wanted it. Also, if you didn't want to, you don't have to participate. 😉

Edit: Also, if we did this, would you want the Asteran to be male or female?

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 1:34 PM

@qerrats
Go for it, it's an adventure, lol. They really do taste good. 😃

Yeah, it's a cute idea. ❤️ I think it would connect us. If we did this, could we have a designated account we could transfer it to if no one wants it immediately? That way, if no one is interested in having it yet after the three days, it would have some place to go stess-free.
I said that before I read your last couple sentences. xD So yours could be the designated account?
I'm all for it if we keep it chill. I don't know what it is, but little things like that stress me out sometimes. 😋 I just want to make sure nothing ends in catastrophe, lol.

Edit: Ummmmm how 'bout female? I think most of us so far are female, and I think women are constantly encouraging each other. 😊

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 2:34 PM

@jlya xD I will... soon... as soon as I have the time/hunger xD

Yes, and I actually have a female Asteran in my cove named "Sunflake" that I would totally sacrifice to this idea, if that's alright with everyone else 😸 I just need the rebirth potion... I have a little over 100cc on hand as of the moment, and if I go through my uft tab and put stuff up for auctions, and definitely have enough xD So yes, if you're unsure of who wants the Asteran next, just transfer it to me, and, um, don't sell her? xD

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 2:39 PM

@qerrats
I'm always hungry. xD

Oh, yeah! ❤️ Would we rename her SunflowerClub or keep her Sunflake? I'm good with either, I like her name. 😸 I'm good with that!

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 3:28 PM

@jlya
Yeah, I was proud of the name I came up with xD Sunpetal would be cool too... 😱 So yes, I'll start selling mah creatures on the auction house, and begin gathering the cc xD I'll tell you guys when she's ready! 😃

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 3:31 PM

@qerrats
Ooh, yeah. 😱 Lol. Thank you!! First act of kindness in the Sunflower club done by @qerrats. ❤️

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 3:34 PM

@jlya xD I didn't even think about that 😱 Sacrificing Sunflake to greater causes, and working tirelessly to buy a rebirth potion... o_0 xDxDxD This is technically my club though... xDxDxD

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 3:41 PM

@qerrats
Still counts, you need to add your name to the members list. xD 😉

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 3:51 PM

@jlya xD I added my name xD

So, now that we're kinda on the topic (kinda xD) I was wondering if you guys have any ideas for some fun out-of-club stuff we could do? Like some sort of feed dying coves operation, or gift one thing from someone's wishlist, etc. A group kindness! I wasn't exactly sure what all of you thought of this, so I decided to just ask 😋 (Also, for those wondering, you most certainly wouldn't have to participate.)

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 4:01 PM

@qerrats
Good. xD

I like the idea of group kindnesses (though time and EC/CC 😋)... The problem with being kind is you have to sacrifice something usually. xD I don't really have any specific ideas, though I like the dying cove idea. When I find a dying cove I can never keep it alive myself. ☹️

Deleted • 6 January 2020 at 4:55 PM

@qerrats Is Sunflake frozen?

Edit: Btw, I found someone who has an female Amsteran egg ...

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 6:25 PM

@jlya True, you're right, kindness involves sacrifice xD But taking time to help others sacrifices, well, time. Paying to help the hungry/homeless sacrifices money. So yes, I think it will involve sacrifices xD So maybe I could set up some sort of mass-feeding dying coves program? And people out of the club could participate too! If we decide to do this, I'm gonna need your guys' help in building a big list of dying coves 😸

@playermocha345 No, she's not, so that's nice at least. No unfreezing potion needed *relieved sigh*

Really? How much are they looking for for it? *YES I get to save my cc xD*

Also, ty! 😸 Even if we don't end up needing it, I'd probably spend it towards the club still. Maybe we could star the Asteran?!

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 6:28 PM

@qerrats
Exactly. Most of the time I find it harder to sacrifice my time than my money. There's not enough time in the world to do it all. ☹️
That sounds like a great idea. 😊

Yes to the Asteran egg!!! And the star. Has to be golden. 😱

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 6:36 PM

@jlya
Really? That's very interesting. It definitely says something about your character and personality, but that doesn't have to be all bad. 😉 For example, it means you aren't that greedy xD
Thanks! So, let's prioritize stuff first xD Let's finish up with the Asteran idea, get that going, then I'll begin to work at the feed dying coves program... I have shocking amounts of time on my hands sometimes, and other times I'm like "I didn't even login to anything today" xD

Yes! Golden star in the top right corner! 😱 Jk whoever has it can decide on that one 😋 So with the Asteran, I guess the person who has it can feed it however many times, give it random items, etc? Also, wouldn't it be cool if we eventually got it on the leaderboards?! Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but it's still cool to think about 😊

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 6:46 PM

@qerrats
Maybe not as much as some people, but I'm definitely greedy. xD And selfish. 😋 Both of those are hard to change.
Lol. That sounds like a good idea.

Yeah, it can move around on the Asteran since the person who has it can move it. 😊 That is really cool to think about. I'm dreaming that I'll get Svea, my Texu, on the leaderboards one day. 😱 And yeah, we can give it items and write on its profile. 😸 ❤️ Probably leave the travel when we find the perfect one, though.

qerrats • 6 January 2020 at 6:55 PM

@jlya
xD Well, you are definitely human, then 😸 Sometimes when I'm about to make a (willingly) selfish decision, I try to work myself into this mindset. "A little work for me is a lot of work for someone else" xD

Yes yes! We can all write little things on it's profile and spend all our monies on it xD

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 7:39 PM

@qerrats
Stinks to be human sometimes, though. 😋 That's a good mindset, and something we should all do. But playing Eggcave and doing nothing is so much easier. xD

Lol. All the monies

skyfall4 • 6 January 2020 at 8:01 PM

@jlya

Your welcome xDDDDDDDDD


Um accomplishment of the day.... I stayed up until 3 AM to finish some art? xDDDD

jlya • 6 January 2020 at 9:00 PM

@skyfall4
That actually is an accomplishment in my world. 😃 All the great work happens late. Most of my greatest writing is done late, probably because I'm a night owl and I prefer to be alone when I write.

Deleted • 7 January 2020 at 3:46 AM

Em, anyone else following this topic?

@qerrats @jlya

True. True. As of senior high, I found it harder to spend more time. Might be my own fault for joining too many activities but well.. I'll have to learn time management sooner or later, right? Before, I could spend hours on EggCave and not be too worried about my grades, as they would still end up average. Except my Chinese exam scores.. Yeah, let's not think of that. But now, I can't.. ☹️

Anyways, I multitasked between listening to English and doing my Maths homework today. I paid attention to whatever she taught, ofc. All while completed my Maths!! Yay!

Still haven't gotten a reply from @nanami yet. But I'll try searching for a different user when I have the time.

qerrats • 7 January 2020 at 1:09 PM

@jlya @skyfall4 xD I slept, meanwhile, like a baby last night. We've been traveling, and I slept at 11, but it felt like 12 >_< xD And, of course I woke up at 7, it feeling like 8... -_- xD

@playermocha345 xD Actually, I am following this. I find that people using phones often spell my username Querrts (??? xD), so on any topic that I'm getting regular pings, I follow xD

That quote truly is true. Time flies when you're having fun, and crawls when you're bored xDxDxD I'll have these times when I'm having a blast playing a game or something, and then I'll look at the time and be like 'WUT! What happened to the other four hours of my afternoon?!' xD

Also, yay! Congrats! 😸 My math teacher gives lectures on how to solve this or that, and if I don't pay attention, I'm done for xD

jlya • 7 January 2020 at 1:14 PM

@playermocha345
I wish there was more time to do nothing. 😋 Or to sleep. Or to get stuff done? Just more time would be nice. xD

@qerrats
Glad you got rest. 😸
For sure, I keep looking up from my computer amazed at the clock like, "I should study... but Eggcave." xD

Edit: I found a travel that might look good with our Asteran? Travel

qerrats • 7 January 2020 at 8:23 PM

@jlya Yeah, I needed it xD And yes, I'll have things I need to look up, but then I'll be like "mmmm, let me finish this" *two hours later* ARGH IT'S DUE TOMORROW!!! xD

Oooh, cool! That trinket looks really nice ❤️ So yes, when it's on it's last stage, we can give it to her 😸

jlya • 7 January 2020 at 9:25 PM

@qerrats
So true. xD

For sure.

Every sunflower must go through the night before it can face the sun again

skyfall4 • 7 January 2020 at 11:00 PM

@qerrats
I slept at 2 AM! Are you proud? xDDDDDDD

Deleted • 8 January 2020 at 3:00 AM

@qerrats Still discussing about. Should be transferring it by Friday or so

=UmU=
I'm sick today, everything feels like [yeep]. Can't concentrate. F my nose has been leaking like a faulty tap whenever I tilt my head down.
Made me think about stuff, what was I going to say again? Eh.. what would happen to me if I was born a year later ? Would I have still joined the silent group in primary school? You know that group that sits quietly in class and never replied to any teacher says?
Do I actually have a best friend? What is a best friend?

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

qerrats • 9 January 2020 at 2:02 AM

@jlya Noice! I like the meaning of the sunflower, too. Like 'even a pure and perfect flower (which is kinda similar to the sun itself) has to face darkness and hard times.' There's this one quote my dad always says (actually, when we're stuck in traffic. It's hilarious): "The rain falls on both the good and bad." A good perspective to have on life, I think.

@skyfall4 Mmmhmmm... very proud... couldn't be more proud... xD You know, I think I'm that oddball that falls asleep whenever I lay down, so if I'm resting well I wake up earlier and earlier every day xD The other morning I willingly woke up at 6:30.... o_0

@playermocha345 Yay, thank you! ❤️ So, what do you guys think we should name the Asteran?
Aww, I'm sorry. It sucks being sick, especially when even if you visit the doctor and take meds, you still feel meh.
Questions of the universe xD I've always been super extroverted and chatty, so I, um, am not in that group? Sometimes with my friends I'll try to catch myself, and not just talk. Let them have a turn xD When I was younger, I don't think I labled friends as 'best friend' or 'third best friend' or stuff like that, but now I do, and yet it changes. Sometimes there will be that friend that you're friends with because they're a friend of a friend, and all of a sudden you have some sort of connecting point? Like, you all of a sudden learn more about them and feel closer to them. It's because of this that I've never really had a permanent 'best friend'. It's always changing for me...
Also, the last quote, I looked it up. Very interesting history. He wrote it in a letter, and was going to send it to his former friend, who had been his friend for over thirty years. He never did send it though, and it was discovered many years later. I'm always interested in this stuff 😋
