Hmm. I need to work today so I couldn’t get up at 4 am this morning when the Christmas Reunion started. I had hoped to be able to play for a while before going to work though, but I’m stuck in the land of “connecting server”, so…

I hope I can play a bit when I get back from work then.
If you get in, post me some screenies of New York please ^_^

So the “Blog for Thought“-part of the Founders Finale has ended, and as I expected there has been some great bloggings going on.

And I had to give it a shot to, of course: My Blog for Thought
Reading all of theese awesome entries though.. I realise I don’t stand much of a chance. But I did enjoy the reading! ^_^

Just a fair warning, this will be image-heavy as my F11 went warm during those last moments of HKO FB. All of the images that has been resized down you can click for fullsize.

At 3:45 am (I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again; HKO don’t like me sleeping!) I got up and logged on for the last ingame event in Sanrio Harbour during FB. It started with a 5 question quiz which I as usual could answer most of at once but never was fast enough to win.

Then came the Kevent wich turned out to be just guessing how many Kev’s there was. (Or was it a trick question and the answer was 1? The chat went by so fast I couldn’t determine.)

So the event was real fast and ended sort of.. fast. I got ready for bed as I needed to get to work in just a couple of hours. But when it came to hitting that Exit-button for the last time in who knows how long… I simply couldn’t! It was too dificult and I ended up staying to the very end.
Boy, am I glad I did!

First we decided for another of our valued Guild-screenies and called everyone to the beach! We were only 6 people online so we quickly gathered… with one exception; Starrfire7 had gone afk. What to do, you might ask. Well , remember that this is no ordinary guild, this is the *Twin Starrs* guild, and for us, no task is impossible! We kidnapped her! Which of course made her come back and get all confused a couple of minutes later.

Suddenly we started seeing flashes of light and we all panicked in the thought that here comes the end, the heavens will fall down upon us!

But it was just a bunch of the GM’s who had caught a climpse of our fun beach party and decided to join us.

They then headed off and suddenly Hello Kitty came running past us! What do you do when you’re a HKO-fan? You run after!

Well, we did anyways…

We soon realised that we probably crashed a GM-screenie party and headed back for the beach again. This is where things got out of control. The girlies decide it was time to have a naked party!

The guys were very a bit shy, but after some persuation, we soon had started a naked party-line!

*flash* *pof* Once again, GM-AVA was the first to join the fun!

The GM’s and Hello Kitty quickly joined us , which of course caught the eye of some passers by who decided to join us too. This was starting to get pretty crowded, but you know what they say; The more the merrier!

But then people started hearing that Hello Kitty was at the beach and people wanting to get screenied with her quickly messed up our pretty line with their clothes and sitting down upon each other.

Then the countdown started for real.

We all said our goodbye’s and promised to keep in touch through the chat. We got told TO NOT delete the client, so remember to keep it! We waved and silently cried, while hoping to maybe get just some minutes more, when….

…the end

hmmm

…or is it?

You might have noticed a change in the last blog? It all happened after I joined in on the GM-bashing in the GM-Piñata event. The only reason I got up at 3am that day was due to tiny chance that they just might release red hair for girls. After all, I had been waiting for it since the start of FB.

Turned out none of them dropped me any red hair. -_-

-But how come…?
-You’re wondering about my red hair?

Well after the event was over, one of my friends who knew how much I’ve been wanting red hair actually came running, just to give it to me! My own secret angel. I was (I am) so grateful and totally overwhelmed! Don’t you agree? I look better in red hair!

Oh, and you saw, didn’t you? *Twin Starrs* and our 11 members actually got 5th in the FFF event! We managed to scrape up $388,56. Yay for us! Yay for the winners! Yay for all who took the time to contribute with food! And yay for HKO for holding such an awesome Charity Event!

Finding a topic within Founders Beta to write about isn’t hard. Of course I will be writing about my Guild, *Twin Starrs*. The hard part comes when I am to describe them properly. Cause no words will be enough when telling you how much they all mean to me. Founders Beta would have been fun without them, but never this much fun!

After all;
We were the ones accomplishing the impossible when we made Twin Starrs with only 5 members.

We focused on the fun and made sure we finished the building of New York even if we didn’t win anything.

We don’t laugh at each other mistakes, like when I planted trees infront of caulis so I couldn’t gather from the caulis.
…Oh, wait, Starrfire7 laughed really hard at that. Ok, scratch that last thought.

I feel that being in a tiny guild made us all come closer. Kiui who’s the expert when it comes to massive ammounts of milk chocolate in a small ammount of time. His wife Cherrysweet who is as sweet as her name and made us all envious with her gathering skill. Hileonne who’s like a machine when it comes to gathering and even beat Cherry with his speed. Tidesong who’s the Guild hoarder and makes sure we get a head start at every guild event. The leader Starrfire7 who’s entusiasm and love for LTS is what brought us all together. Her sister Ghost who was forced up during early mornings of building and gathering… I could go on forever about them all!

(If the music doesn’t start when you play, just hit stop and play again, if you can’t see the video click here) ;P

We may not be the biggest guild and we may not win all the contests. But we are the tiny guild that has the most fun and never gives up. I am so happy that I met you all, and so sad to see FB end. Although I am sure we’ll be keeping up with our guild-mailing during the wait for OB. I love you guys!

We prepared for the Guild Build of New York by gathering all the materials needed for the 3 buildings yesterday. There was some huge teamwork coming from Hileonne, Kiui and Cherrysweet. I tried to keep up, but I just kept falling behind. They were in one word awesome!

Thanks to them and our guildhoarder Tidesong I felt pretty good logging in at 2am this morning.
Yes, I said 2 am, I got a whole of 4 hours sleep last night. The other reps for our guild was at work, so what to do? You get up!

The first thing I noticed when I logged on was that koray was back in the guild. Yay, welcome back, koray!

Then came the list of mystery materials. And what a list! With less than 1½ hour to gather me and the 3 other members (Ghost, Starrfire7 and Cherrysweet) online started working.

In the meantime Tidesong wrote our lovely Guild Build-poem
Morning rises before us
Let quick hands start their gathering
Friends we have around us
Lets come together building
No sun or wind can stop us
We’re twin stars guild all shining! 

We did well, but I wasn’t surprised when I reached GM-Neverender’s farm and saw that everyone left a couple of minutes ago. We started out last. I don’t want to think of how far behind we would have been without, once again, Tidesong’s hoarding skills.

But that didn’t discourage us! We were soon joined by a couple more members and was suddenly 6 online. The girls decided to do the building as 5 is the maximum number. With no space left at the building site, Kiui got stuck with the cooking. That guy can make some tasty Milk Chocolate!

Psst: at least one of theese are working from their job. Hehe, any guesses who/which? Don’t tell anyone!

Well, we didn’t win, but we had a lot of fun! 44 minutes after the winners HKO Founders and only 23 minutes after the 2nd winners Misfits we had completed Grand Central Station. Not bad for 6 people out of which only 3 where available to gather the mystery materials, don’t you agree?

Click the picture below to see the full inside of Grand Central Station.

We then invited GM-Bacon to come look at our pretty building. And he of course started zooming around the place in his mysterious GM-ways.

We were all jeallous, as is natural, and I didn’t hesitate to tell him about my envy. *pof* There I am on the roof!? That totally made my day, what a view!

GM-Bacon then showed off his skills by walking on water before he had to go and take care of important GM-buisness.

Well, we didn’t win, we didn’t come second. We are all dirt poor and I’ve got Grand Central Station in my backyard….

But we had fun and got plenty of laughs, and after all, that’s what HKO is really about; Good friends and a lot of fun!

It was easier then expected, can’t belive I haven’t tried it before. Decided to do a little video of my eventfull weekend and I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Go here to rate or comment (or just comment below).

On the request of Tidesong (I of course do everything for my Guildbuddies!) I am posting the lager pic of the mountains. Enjoy! (^_^)

This weekend has been so full of events and things I’m having a hard time figuring out what to start with. Despite me being ill and sneezing until I cried it has been awesome. Guess I’d better start from the beginning.

I was mining coal for the Food for Friends Charity Event when GM-Abby announced that she was looking for people to join her at the Birthday Cake in London. And when a GM calls, you come! At least according to the massive ammount of players that soon had gathered in front of the cake. So GM-Abby got her screenie, and so did I.

Next up on the event calendar was Party #1 which started out in the Party Room in London.

It begun with a Hide and Seek-game that resulted in people bursting out of the room trying to find GM-Bacon and HelloKitty first.
- Let’s calmly exit the room in a dignified… *ouch* hey! No stepping on my.. *ouch* that was my… *ouch* now, wait just one… *gets run over*

*cough cough* hrm.. anyways…

The first party starting at 2am my time combined with the fact that I have a fever and am lousy at Hide and Seek led to me falling asleep during the party. I missed some giveaway with hair and clothes. But I don’t mind since there was no red hair given out.

Instead I got ready for party #2! This time we assembled at the Birthday cake.

Now this party was fun! The quizes were impossible cause I’m not a fast enough writer. But the Guild contests were awesome. Why? Cause I’m in the most awesome Guild; *Twin Starrs*

There was only 5 of out 10 members online so the first task was easy to handle. We were supposed to form a straight line. We were a bit worried about the guy from another guild standing at the end and messing up our line at the last minute, but thankfully they paid no attention to that.

The 2nd task wasn’t quite as easy for us.
We were told to gather in a members farm. Me and Kiui quickly decided on Starrfire7’s farm and we hurried there.
Then we got the instructions; we were to form the Twin Starrs.
…
Keep in mind the fact that we were 5, I repeat 5, guild members online. The task seemed impossible.
But *Twin Starrs* aren’t the guild that gives up easily, we’re no quitters, no surie!
We debated back and forth and different options that all seemed impossible. And then, with less then a minute left, we found the answer!
All lined up, I sent a PM to GM-Sabrina to come and check on us.
Our Guild was in a perfect star with our Cur’s making the Twin Starr!

How about that? Nothing’s impossible for *Twin Starrs*!

Then the party ended with another quiz-session wich I once again had no chance of winning. Soon after we were told to get to London to claim the Guild prices.

Me and Starrfire7 went straight to the Birthday cake and started chatting while waiting. Then Starrfire7 leaned closer and whispered in my ear
“i am sending you on a super secret guild mission”
I was ready in an instant! The mission was to get to Sanrio Harbour for a secret meeting where I would be representing the Guild. Yes, I was proud, I was the chosen one, I was… the only Guild member except Starrfire7 still online… …

In any way. I had barely gotten to Sanrio Harbour until something swooped down on me fast and picked me up. Before I knew it I was in the mountains (we have mountains?) and sitting in the lap of GM-Calealen.
- Yeah, sorry about that Cal.

The guild prizes will be useful in the Food for Friends Charity Event. So thank you for that, Cal!

All in all, it has been one eventful weekend. Now I’ll get back to my bed and my tissues. See ya!

I’m still ill so this will be a short update.

1st I’d like to suggest Starrfire7 to have a really serious talk with her Dino about running around unattended. After Starrfire7 had gone to sleep, Dino decided to stay out. It’s all fine, don’t worry, I told him to go straight home!

And I didn’t really mind the company either. At that time of day not many guildies or friends are online with me.

2nd… And please keep in mind that I have a fever when I tell you the next thing that has happened…

I.. erm.. planted some trees.. erm.. infront of my small cauliflowers…. again!

Yes, I know you’re supposed to learn from your mistakes. But apparently the ”learning from old mistakes”-part of the brain doesn’t work when you have a cold.

I ran straight to the seed shop to buy new Lemon seeds and cover it up, but even though I ran as fast as I could I got caught. When I returned to my farm Starrfire7 (who’d heard my swearing and mutterings) had arrived to see what had happened. I tried hiding in the lemon trees but I’m not so sure it worked.

She’s probably now cursing the day she invited this clutz to the guild.

Coming soon: Bithday parties, Twin Starrs accomplishing the impossible and secret missions in the mountains.
