SQ goes up and down a lot... April has been as high as 26 and as low as 12 :dunno: It's an odd thing to get a handle on really, but did you entertain a really bad groupie after your show? That can give you a drop, not to mention Clymidia ;) :help:

Both that and your artist ranking fluctuate a lot.

Congrats Minty! =D> I've seen a few days ago that you created your own company, but it's nice to know that now you have a locale :p

Alex: ouch! :doh: Anything that should explain this? Did you play a really bad show according to what you usually do? Did you have your instruments? (those stupid things we can sometimes forget ^^)

Yeah, I noticed April's tattoo shop today. Good going, Minty! Any chance we could get a discount on tattoos?

I have prices as low as I can but other than that not really... but I've got Jamie my CEO in training on the job there and she's got 5 stars in art so she'll set you up nice. I also have a link to the tattoo colors chart, the symbols list and even a link to basic Kanji as well. :-D

I've never really looked into the tats in Popo. About how much do they run? I have a feeling I'm going to have to wait on it. After the tour, my next big purchase is going to be the backup vocals book.

Those groupies, i fluffed an ugly groupie like an idiot, i put that thing off... Darn it, no more sex for Ludovic!

The only thing i see wrong is the groupe, i had my guitard and my keyboard, so there's no problem there, plus i never had been so good in a show... 2 stars, so only the groupie!

Yeah, wait on the groupies until you can get a good enough one to help you and not hurt ya :-p

Tattoos are quite expensive actually, they're charged by the character... which is why I got the ☭ one first. I got the other one with a decent chunk of my bonus money, but really just because I was thinking of opening a shop at that point so I figured I should have a cool one.

I've gotten all of mine in perfect quality shops so they were more expensive too. There is no real difference in "effect" between a bottom dwelling tattoo and a wonderful one though. They don't affect looks or anything at this point, but if you look at mine as an item you see their ratings. I didn't want low quality ones as a shop owner, it would be like driving a naff car as a car dealer :-p

Anyone still in Madrid who wants a free rabbit should come to 'Gymbalaya' :-D Yes, when you get five stars at Illusion you actually pull real rabbits out of your hat, everyone in the locale gets a mood boost AND then there's a rabbit there for anyone to pick up, just look at 'Items & Equipment' heh.

And just to confirm on the mood issue here's a direct quote from Mika (one of the game's developers)

Ah, cool. I think that was the first time this tour that we've had back to back slots at the same club. =D> You're lucky Jeb plays better the more he drinks... :-p

I believe you meant "aboot" :-p

Odd... my mood just jumped from 84 to 100 for no apparent reason :dunno: I thought the Halloween bonus had kicked in early but nothing in my diary about it. Wierd.

There must be something with the message not coming through then... I checked other people but they hadn't gone up yet, but maybe the game works through alphabetically by first name so I was in the first wave :-?

I can't believe I have yet ANOTHER newbie cold :rant: And the devs continue to lie to us and do nothing about it which really boils my blood. :furious: So yes, if I get banned from the forums bitching at the devs will be the reason why but I don't care anymore. There are SIMPLE things they can do to help make changes but they don't care if people get frustrated and stop playing the game I guess.

Me and others have been talking about this for literally months now. I first posted about it several days before TDG left on their first Tour just to give you an idea of how long it's been they've stood back and done nothing but accuse everyone of over-reacting.

Yeah, i've just seen that nearly all the TDG members get a cold :cry: And some too at Never Dies :roll:

Devs MUST do something about that, it's really frustrating by the time...

who wants cold?? if anybody is heathly I can give it to you for free

Yeah, I agree, it's really ANNOYING. It's like my second cold in two weeks. This one I can't retrace the person who gave it to me... :rant:

I'm happy to see that our :-p Philosopher King Minty :-p is grumbling at the devs, keep on the good work!! :thup:

Hopefully there's more doctor in Paris than in Toronto (and the only on I saw in Tor wasn't able to cure me....)

I've posted the following in the Paris medical help thread:

J'ai besoin d'un docteur pour traiter mon froid. Je payerai. (VIP)

Years of french in elementary school tell me that says "I need a doctor to treat my cold. I will pay." I'm pretty sure thats accurate, but if not, could a french user on the board correct me? :-D The joys of having a bilingual forum.
