h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You should have found me, I discovered to be next to a 'Shazz' when my AP's ran out.

Where are you? I'll pop over. I bumped into Caerwynn this morning.

I'm at Lead/89th now - and will stay there for a while because I have no moves left and it is time for bed anyway.

Found a couple more pubs:
The Sun: Malaise/87th (with bank nearby)
The Brimming Brew: Malachite/87th
Bank at Lonely/88th which I actually managed to get into.

I have 279 pints now - I bet I won't by tomorrow though.

Has anyone here tried using a scroll of turning yet?

I haven't even managed to get into a shop yet!

But I did stumble over a guild last night - the square looked just like any other empty square, but I got a message that I was inside a guild and was offered some kind of training (I've forgotten which) - but they would charge 7500 coins for it!

But I was logged off, does your vampire stay in the grid then even if you aren't playing?

No wonder I always seem to have less blood than I thought!

I wrote a list of 'my' s: <./>A1982171</.>

Now, if you're wondering about the order of the names - I used a copy and paste from the site, so you're sorted by the number of pints you've sucked. If you want to be higher up in the list you'll just have to keep busy!

Considering banks are often crowded, maybe a bank would be the best place (if you can get into one) to stay while waiting for more action points? At least the number of other vampires that could suck you would be limited once the bank gets crowded...

Oh yeah - Marjin, could you post 'your' vampires over at the entry - I'll add your 'clan' too!

Maybe the best strategy for having your blood sucked by as few vampires as possible is to stop in an otherwise empty square?

I just noticed that I myself move in a criss-cross way, aiming for squares with as many vampires in them as possible, to save myself action points...

Example:

Move to square with 1 + suck = 2 AC and 1 pint
Move to next square with 1 + suck = 2 AC and 1 pint
Total: 4 AC for 2 pints

or

Move to square with 3 + suck = 4 AC for 4 pints

Anyone with a lot of coins and AP points:
Shop MacPotion is currently at Pyrites 87. Sells only Holy Water at 2000 coins.
Too many for me.
The barman told me after just 1 .

Hmmm

No AP and most of my money (what's left of it) I stuck in the bank.

I'm currently lurking around Ire/93rd/94th trying to find the lower left limit to commence mapping operations.

I'm just bimbling about, perhaps I had better try and apply some logical whilst taking T's advice and acquiring APs by sucking more blood!

~Burp~

Oppsss please do excuse me... must have been something me drank...

On my chin??? Red stuff??? Ahhhh... jam of course from the dougnuts you see... ~sly grin~

Just had a good feed...

Greebs..xx

So I see!

shazz

~snigger~... not my fault... t'was hungry... just had a nice drinky afterwards at the Fiddler's Tavern near Ruby and 20th...

Greebs..xx

Caerwyn, you don't get more AP's just by sucking more blood, only the maximum amount is raised after 50, 100 and 500 pints. You still get 1 pint per 30 RL minutes.

You mean 1 AP per 30 minutes, don't you Marjin?

Sorry if my example was confusing Caer - I was posting the amount of APs that it takes to get those pints of blood...

Of course, I seem to have been confused.

I prefer to suck humans, you can get more pints per AP, and sometimes a number of coins

That, and the fact that humans don't retaliate by sucking *your* blood!

s normally run to fast for retalliation. I (almost) never saw one that stole from me.

I had one that I had bitten previously sneak up on me and whisper 'the sweetness of revenge' before biting me!

I checked my map, and the guild I came across was the Immolators Guild 2 at - hmmmm - Vexation and 51st, I think (I mixed up the streets a bit). They offered me Suction for 7500 coins.
