Shadd: If you look at our showlists in the KB we don't do much better ;) everything is based on skills we aren't that great at yet so we can't expect the world just yet. Keep in mind that even the Top 10 bands in the Cerebus Tour are only doing 'great' rated shows at this point so the new system is hard on everyone.

Things will get better when you can do songs that are jammed to full 100% as well, but we did most of our last tour with songs at 60% or below so there's room to improve, its a very long-term focused game so you have to keep in mind that the key will be slow and steady progress :thup:

Speaking of slow progress :-p Today I got this in my diary:
"I'm an expert at Punk Rock and don't need to study that anymore."

Finally!! :joy:

It's about time! :-D

So we're all at 5 stars now? We can jam to 100%?

No, mines still at 3 stars. I spend all my time writing songs, or improving my playing. Getting the 4th star is next on my list though.

Find out first who is teaching, and if you have the prerequisites for what they are teaching. If so, then you should send the teacher a message saying you'd like to learn the skill from them, then interact with them until you get a high enough relationship to have the 'Ask to be appprentice' option and do that. Once you are set to be their apprentice switch your priority to 'Learn from Master' and then stay at NYU and set yourself to 'follow'/stalk the teacher so you don't miss any updates.

Floyd's Three Wheel Wagon wasn't going anywhere so I've left and formed a solo act called Floyd's Wagon 8-) Hopefully this way I will have more success.

On another note, my mood is still sliding. This is despite my efforts to spend a fortune shopping and also fraternising. My mood seems to stick at 23%. Hopefully I'll make my jamming session before I end up in hospital. :cry:

I'm thinkin Mr. Cy is pullin our collective leg and he actually has three, because we jammed one song to 91% recently and I was at 4 at the time... so Jeb has to be close to four so I think he's jammin us because he knows we can't see 'em 8-)

But I think he's busted :-p

Once I get my mood back up I'll be working on getting my composing up to 5* and my punk rock as well. Then I'll get my string and electric up to 5 as well

Anyone else been able to get results from jams lately? I just jammed a couple days ago with about five of my songs, and got no results. I lowered my selection to three songs for my jam today, and still go no results. :-?

Are they already jammed as far as you can go? How many stars do you have in your genre?

They were at 100% after I used my boost, but the ones I'm jamming are ones that have dropped. They're around 88% to 97%

As for my genre, I don't even have it "learned" let alone to a star level. :oops:

That would be why then, the highest you can jam songs to is 50% then I think, so that's why you're jamming with no result :doh: That is though why I so highly suggest use of boost for your repertoire, it allows you to do the otherwise impossible :thup:

TDG is soon on their way back to NYC, I know y'all have missed us ;)

As for matters of mood I don't think that frequent interaction and a healthy list of friends can be stressed enough as important factors. April hardly drops at all and I think a portion of that is that she's always had a big list of friends she interacts with very often, also she has her faithful rabbit Emmie (who btw is named after Emily Dickenson ;) ) who loves to interact with people too and pets have been said to be linked to positive moods as well. So just because it's kind of a pain in the ass/drudgery don't overlook interacting with all the TBL peeps as often as you can.

Now I've bought my tickets from NY to Toronto and from Toronto to Nashville. I thought it was the best thing to do now when the tour is soon here. :-D

People, I need you all to interact with me before I lose my sanity! :sick: I've been busy trying to improve my relationships with people but most of you are still in Nashville. Come look me up when you're back.

I've also bought myself a rabbit to keep me company. In keeping with the fashion of calling people place names (think Paris Hilton or Brooklyn Beckham), I've called my rabbit Manhattan :-D Maybe I should have called him Bronx! What's the deal with these rabbits? Do I have to keep them in my personal possession for them to have a positive effect or can I leave them at home and they'll still keep me happy?
