Herbie Hynde

For those who don't know, this is me, Zorba. I can't be bothered going through all the trouble of switching accounts just now.

I knew I was on a hiding to nothing with this event. I was around 500 kobans short in all accounts (Darla's sitting on x87 shards in my Lili account because of a disastrous final fling with no shards dropping in the 20 tries). Getting the x100 jackpot in Herbie Hynde was an unexpected surprise and allowed me to get her to 4 stars to really see what she's like. Apart from this, here is an illustration of my usual let-down and frustration with Legendary Days events.... With three 5 star legendaries in the 90s in my Adrian'smole account, how many more will end up on the top shelf? I am especially frustrated by Fabienne's failure to reappear. She was first offered in February last year and, since then, Ombresse, who first appeared nearly 5 months after Fabienne, reappeared in January 2020. As would be readily apparent, Fabienne is a near certainty to join my harem in that account, indeed in all of my know-how accounts - if only I could get the chance to try for her. But I wait with ever declining patience for this happy day. I think HH made a stuff-up in failing to reoffer Fabienne and she should've reappeared before Ombresse.

Yes, Kali would bring new meaning to the term 'groping'. We'd be totally in her clutches.

Update on recruitments New girls added since my last major posting: Peregrine Took: Jenna HottyTEEN69, Shirogane. (Total 4) Herbie Hynde: Belissa (Total 9) Lili: Lapsey (Total 10) Peckerbird: Berry (Total 5) Zorba the Geek: Atsuki (Total 2) Adrian'smole: None (Total 1) By the way, it's me, Zorba. The damn forum changed my login to Herbie Hynde, yet again! If I try to change login, by signing out then sign in as Zorba the Geek, I get banned and I have to go through the pain of restarting Firefox, deleting cookies and opening the forum again. So, sorry, but my multiple personality syndrome continues til I get around to my usual housekeeping in a few hours time.

Yes, I didn't think of that. It seems obvious now in retrospect.

That does it! I can now confirm a total perversion of my own sexuality; I like monster girls, even if they're improved Pokomon rip-offs. Even that orchette (Mary I think her name is) in the DigisekaI world I find unexpectedly sexy and desirable and I'm anticipating a subplot based around her character. Woe is me! I fear I may be inexorably drawn to Gork if this continues and it it ever happens you have my permission to exorcise my dick. Ahem! Anyway, not having had the chance to risk trying for the Pachinko-only girls with a Legendary Days event on the way, I cannot comment on them. However, for me Ballasuck it is. I maxed her affection and she's remarkably beautiful in a cute kinda way. I love how her eyes were drawn in such a soulful way and I can appreciate the hairstyle-cum-flower bud and ultimate floral absurdity that seems to be based on that Pokomon turtle character. Great bod, great tits and great concept of evolution to a more human character. I think, though, what draws me to her is just how uncannily similar she is to some of the fantasy characters I have created - I thought without these outside influences, but apparently not.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and festive season. In my case it's a pohutukawa Christmas with Northern Hemisphere weather! It's cold, wet, windy and cloudy over much of the country. I hope Christmas Day itself is better because we are planning a barbeque. Not so good for my Trans-Tasman neighbours. There is a prolonged heatwave with record high temperatures, high winds and a huge forest fire front threatening Sydney and other NSW towns and cities. After denying climate change and trying to put a dampener on everyone's concerns, Aussie PM, Scott Morrison, has decided to go on vacation to Hawaii. Not a good look! I really hope things get better for you guys with maybe a recognition that it's time for Australia to get in behind climate change legislation and changes to how it manages the issue. Anyway, all the best everybody. [Oh, by the way - multiple personality disorder again - it's me, Zorba]. Sorry...

Off topic AND joking? Revealing a little bit too much of the dark, grinchy side of Christmas? This is a chit chat thread after all, or so I thought. As long as we keep Brassy satisfied I'm sure it's okay. Lol. Oops, did I speak out of turn?

Surname 'Killjoy', say no more... Oops, that's one of my multiple personalities. It's really Zorba. Sorry.

Oh yeah, hihi... I had a closer look. I'm not only 'colour-blind' but fully blind it seems! If I have any excuse it's because I'm really tired. - had a crappy night's sleep and it wasn't sexual frustration. All the same, that's quite a lot of shards collected for a 'few times' fighting. I had to do three rounds (60 fights) before a single shard dropped from any of Jackson's Crew's girls and that was in my best account. After months of effort it seems I have Riley up to 94 shards in that account so with maybe another 10+ rounds I might finally get her and find out what her affection scenes tell me. I don't move onto the next world until I've cleaned out the one previous.

Bwaaa, shite! Hey, well done, eh. I have rather a lot to go to get to your harem payouts, don't I. Just one thing though... Acadia, Talissa and Chiba? These are from the newest world aren't they? It's been up and running for less than a week so how the heck is it possible to get all these girls so quickly. I haven't even started in this world yet because I'm still struggling to get ANY of the girls from Jackson's Crew. I see you must be using a monthly card, though, because your instant collect button is blue and not gold. Has this been a factor.

First, a correction... I was unable to edit my posts so I'll put it here, at the risk of sounding even more pedantic than I do normally. I referred to my girls 'unserving support'. I meant of course 'unswerving support'. It does tend to change the meaning somewhat! Sorry about that... Mythic Pachinko? Yes, I've tried it out on the test server with free tries, I got legendary boosters which I never use, even though they're free this time. I notice they cost a gold bullion to buy but they sell for stuff all, possibly because of their very high rate of depreciation since they are time-limited. No girls yet, but I like the option of a new group of EP girls available each day. It's a new thing so, yes, it's worth giving it a go. On the issue of the DST bug, there might be some alarmist language here. I remember here in New Zealand the media hype and panic over the millenium bug. The digital world, including the banking system and the stock exchanges, were meant to come to an end when the clocks clicked over to the year 2000. Nothing happened, but the operating system developers subsequently paid more attention to the issue of dates and time. DST has always been a problem for software developers, except, it seems, the telcos and those developing mainstream operating systems, like Microsoft and Apple, which use standard time atomic clock settings always adjusted (here in NZ anyway) for DST. It always works flawlessly and I cannot understand why software developers, other than those working for the telcos and operating system companies, cannot mesh in with these systems. It surely must be possible.

Yeah, that's pretty obvious.

Hi, it's Zorba here. I can't be bothered going through the process of clearing out the HH cookies just yet to get back on as Zorba. Fair point you make! It's even more absurd than I thought. It's amazing that the two Mission girls (Tanned Housemaid and Nemah) are attached to the two bosses who are the most advanced in the game, which means the newbies who would otherwise be able to add them to their harems would probably have no access to them for this 'celebration'. The rest of us probably have them already as you rightly implied. I certainly do. Kinkoid is either dumb as (which I doubt) or he's thumbing his nose at us in a 'screw you' gesture by putting those particular girls with the two most advanced bosses. Either way he's having a great laugh at our expense and indulging in his own anniversary celebrations.

Damn! It's happened again, folks! This should've been my Zorba the Geek account, but I couldn't change it. Sorry. Anyway, I'm hardly a newbie, even in Herbie Hynde as I'm battling Jackson's Crew up there with the rest of my accounts. It's possibly because of the name change from Bryan which might register me as new. Anyway... A non-event for me and I'm not seriously taking part, except in EvP. So far I've had zero luck there. I couldn't be more pissed off with one proviso. That proviso is that I play the free game so I shouldn't really gain the rewards that paying players can expect, should I. In the test I have only Tanned Housemaid to collect (I have all of the rescue girls in my main accounts). In the test, something interesting is happening. The girl is Rare yet the drop rate is as for Epic or Legendary Days. Who would waste kobans trying for a girl this low down the pecking order? I say low drop rate because shard drops (for me anyway) have not exceeded x5 and are mostly x1 or x2 (and then only every second round). So far she's on x23 thanks to one rogue round of x20. So unless something extraordinary happens I won't get her - just one girl over 5 days! Bizarre! This Anniversary has been designed for those who (a) are paying for monthly cards, (b) buying kobans with real Euros, &/or (c) serious competitors in the League and collect winnings through this. This also gives these players a real and free chance to collect Norou in the Arena. In this regard, to be more fair, they should've also included Levitya and the Twins in order to balance classes (KH, HC and charm). As for the survey - 'yawn'. Multiple choice questions create a certain pre-determined outcome and are highly manipulative. As for the rewards, they mean stuff all in the context of the length of an event/revival/anniversary. To put all the best girls (IMO anyway) in Epic Pachinko has me having to face all the also-ran permanents in there as well, diluting my chances of getting the event girls I really want (like L'il Red). For me this is all academic anyway because I would've been just short of having enough kobans in each account for a single x10 spin by the end of the event. So I was trying in EvP instead. As I said, zero luck and not even any new equipment I can use (in contrast to my successes in normal events). If one accepts that Kinkoid is rewarding paying members (and new members who've made it far enough to reach at least most of the villains) then this might be fair enough, but I would've liked a bit of a heads-up to tell us that 'non-paying members need not participate'.
