Yeah, I think I’ll leave it that way and not fix it.

It’s funny, I know I’m playing more than I really want to, or should and quitting might be the best option. Problem is, if I just quit, it feels like I’ve “wasted” much more time playing this game, than if I continue “wasting time” playing the game. And that’s where the problem lies, these games are addictive and they know it.

I read an article about this a while back. It was fascinating.
I couldn’t find the article but as per Wikipedia,

Escalation of commitment is a human behavior pattern in which an individual or group facing increasingly negative outcomes from a decision, action, or investment nevertheless continues the behavior instead of altering course. The actor maintains behaviors that are irrational, but align with previous decisions and actions.

Economists and behavioral scientists use a related term, sunk-cost fallacy, to describe the justification of increased investment of money, time, lives, etc. in a decision, based on the cumulative prior investment ("sunk cost") despite new evidence suggesting that the cost, beginning immediately, of continuing the decision outweighs the expected benefit.

Confession time...right after the last time I whined about my zero drops, Cri-Kee dropped fabric three consecutive times. Really odd timing.

Then, I was so disgusted with the whole “will he/won’t he”...
I...(deep breath)...used gems (albeit free ones that I received from level-ups, watching videos, etc. for the last couple of years) and blew him through enough rounds to collect three more fabrics to get Mulan’s comfty outfit. So...hooray.

Except, it didn’t feel like a “win”. Even though I didn’t pay anything...it just felt not good. So, for me, I really want to “win” through dedicated game play.

Hey...Gameloft Interns...listen up, will ya?

He little gem devil on my shoulder said "we all gotta do what we gotta do when time is running out." So don't beat yourself up. I want the comfy costume too. I think it may come in handy in the future. Couldn't really care less about the warrior one. I still need 1 more fabric. I may be making some tough decisions in the morning too. On the bright side...you used gems you got for free. No loss there!!

So what you are saying is I'm in it for life no matter what Gameloft does to upset me since I've already put in so much time? So Gameloft is like the mob...you can never get out. Good to know...

Hmmm...of course, there is a tipping point when someone just pushes so far that people get ticked off....

BTW - you are a very uplifting influence through your positive posts. Thanks!

 

[mikegood2]

Not to be nosy and I apologize for going off topic...but do you mind sharing the names of the other two games you enjoy playing?
Because I really need more screen time obviously....

Understandable that you need more screen time.
Marvel Strike Force - Match 3 type game I’ve been playing for 1686 days

Looney Toons World of Mayhem - Only Been out 2-3 months. I’m a big Marvin the
Martian fan and he was the main villain, so getting it was a must. Of course I found out later he’s one of the toughest characters to get and you can’t get him until later levels, which I just got to this week. Don’t see getting him for awhile.

We are pretty much in the same place game wise. I just got another comfy fabric from my new cricket friend. 1 more to go. I hear you on the rest though. I play 3 phone games too, but this is probably my #1. I tried the marvel one you wrote about, but I couldn't get anywhere...so disney emoji blitz for me I guess.
How are you doing? Stitch free (not the blue guy...)? Able to eat everything in sight (all ice cream I mean)? Running marathons? All good?

Good job, your 1 ahead of me.

Thanks for asking! Yeah everything going well, and able to eat anything I want, but just more careful. Running Marathons? never have and never will, I hate running, lol.

Thx!!! I love the crazy family on this forum. But you know, if you look at DMK forum history, someone is always upset. It's either lack of land, poor token drops or some crazy post that @supernova dropped on us. I figure it's our own version of Thanksgiving dinner with the fam...someone always leaves angry...but comes back again for the free food!!!

I've always had a special spot for that martian too. I'm checking that out right now....
On a more real note...glad all is well. Shark bites are a scary thing!!!

 

[tasmith1993]

Fingers still crossed for you.

I’m right there with you. Somehow I fell behind this time around. I’m at 926 EC, but unlike you, I will be sleeping for the next few hours. I’ll see where I’m at mid-morning tomorrow and may have to use gems to speed up a couple of collections so I have the hour to welcome him. Good Luck!

Thanks!! I ended up using some gems on the chests for some more cocoa. I’ve done this much so I may as well ensure that I will get the dumb cricket. Guess I’ll be getting the warrior costume after all

No chance for the comfy costume though but I am more than fine with that

Thanks again!

btw I DMed you a funny little shark bite story about my surgery.

Well I could only send out two characters for the Tower Challenge since I have run out of Cocoa. I need another 380 in event currency in order to welcome Cri-Kee. Refresh is available in 8.5 hours but it will be cutting it close. I may have to use some Gems to speed things up especially if I sleep in.

Also remember the can clear cursed buildings. Not much EC, but 10 EC each can help

 

[kaetra]

Is there any point in spending EC on any Cri-Kee tokens if you don’t have enough EC for all tokens needed to welcome him?

I have 20k EC and zero Cri-Kee tokens. I don’t know if accumulated tokens will save after the event in case there’s ever another chance to get him (that’s not a $ bundle offer)

Yes I believe that any tokens you buy will roll over for later, at least that’s how it worked for Grumpy

 

[tasmith1993]

Well I ran out of cocoas again. I sent out a group of 2. I need 151 more EC and the max I can get is 153
Really hope it actually gives me 151 so I don’t have to send another group for like 10 EC.
Plus I want to have enough time to do the mushu/cri-kee task so that I can buy more tokens for cri-kee with the EC reward.

Hmmm...of course, there is a tipping point when someone just pushes so far that people get ticked off....

I don't know, I think apathy is a bigger problem for Gameloft. They ticked me off awhile ago regarding the land. Now I hear no new land and I don't care. When they moved certain attractions into chests only, I was ticked off. Now, there are several I don't have and don't care [no where to put them anyway]. This is the first event I didn't complete all the tasks [missed the 2nd challenge]. Oh well. I have all the characters so I spent gems to speed up Cri-Kee to welcome him before I go out for the day. Now I'm wondering why. I have no interest in the upcoming event. The strongest emotion I have for this game is annoyance at the event starting in a week. I'm interested in maxing out the characters I already have. I've looked forward to having a clean board. The new event only shows me I'll never be able to achieve that goal given my style of play. Sadly I'm realizing I'd miss this forum more than the actual game.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Wow... not much happening with this one. No decor, concession, float, other attractions?

now there is a lot, that was just a summary - but full event includes:

7 characters
New parade Float
4 attractions
4 concessions
4 decorations
comfy costume for Tiana

remember to look for the cursed buildings and even the fire crackers if you are that close

 

[TheMaxRebo]

So just watched the live thread and the "enhancements" for building seem ok/useful but don't fix the issue for not enough land

It will make building the kingdom a bit easier - and rebuilding, so for people that want to/are willing to remove everything and start over it will help ....

BUT even if you do you still won't be able to fit everything at this point so it's just if you want a different look and maybe fit a bit more, no way to fit everything

Think I will spend a little time figuring out which buildings are the most useless (so don't drop during trophy events, etc.)
