Advice for the Day: "Don't accuse someone of STEALING your tutors." When I was still starting out in this game, I was very picky when it comes to hiring my tutors. I didn't have the luxury of getting the best there was, considering the lack of money and experience. Every tutor I hired was painstakingly chosen from among the numerous tutors listed for hire. The task was like finding a needle in the middle of a haystack. One time, a player successively hired all my tutors. Imagine the terror I felt when my precious tutors were taken from me in an instant! I'm not the type of person who would hastily confront someone, especially those that I didn't know. So, there I went running to my clubmates and escalated the issue. "There is this one player who's stealing all my tutors!", I cried. Then someone said, "Don't say that. He is not STEALING your tutors. He's just BUYING them from you." I was struck! Indeed! I didn't own those tutors. I just hired them. I may have even hired them from someone else, too. After that, I realized there was really nothing wrong about your tutors being hired from you. It's only that, sometimes, we become possessive of them. But we all have to remember that hiring tutors is part of the game. And don't expect them to be solely yours for the keeping. I would like to ask you this, do you want to be stuck with the same set of tutors, forever? Maybe no... Or maybe yes. Still, think about it. Your choice of tutors is great since others are hiring them from you. That means you have "the eye" for finding valuable ones - those that are worth the money. However, someone CAN and WILL hire them from you, no matter who you are or what you do. They can do it any time - when you're online or sleeping or even while you're at war. Instead of raising hell, as someone likes to call it, just buy them back in return. Not with insults, threats or farming spree but buy them back with your own hard-earned money!

That's a debateable issue of ownership, the only bad thing for me is that sometimes when you're low on cash it is pretty annoying to buy back. I mean really freaking annoying especially if you're attached to those people IRL. Theats should be the norm, get used to it. Summing it up, this game is nit designed for the faint hearted nor is it a childs play. Play hard but don't forget the mechanics. People by nature are possessive, and realize this game is designed to be provocative. The faster you loose your cool or insists on your ideals, the faster the fire will ignite. Goodluck.
Renegade: Good for you man! I still remember asking you if you are willing to share some helpful tips when I was just starting out in this game. And you never hesitated to lend a hand. That's why I am even grateful now that you also read my posts! Remus: This game is not for the fainted heart - those were also the exact same words I used to describe this game. I thank you for sharing your thoughts. You have spent a great deal playing this game. Your insights is helpful to us! Munching: I do random hiring nowadays, too! I even got someone angry because even when I was randomly hiring tutors, all of them still belonged to a single player! lol
tutors can kiss my ass, i dont use them..doesnt effect my stats (fights idgaf about that why theyre crap) imma pro farmer in this game, n i dun use tutors unless i know em in rl!
Haha, I remember trying to keep 250 tutors worth 1-3k each... What a job that was! And then people would come on my wall an just completely SPAZ, it was kind of ridiculous... That was the most active my wall had ever been!!
Reading your entries makes me want to crave for more! I really can relate with your entries, keep it coming!
Most of my tutors don't last 5 minutes under my "employment". Sometimes I wake up to an empty tutors list. I used to be angry about this, but that was before I started getting higher amount of money. I'm very picky about my tutors, too, I never hire anyone with less than 100 for each stat (int/str).
This is a vast improvement from your last episode, in fact this one may be your best! If I knew you in real life I'd bake you a cake... Unless your diabetic that is, keep it up!
My cute alien, i love what you're writing because i can familiarize myself with them. I'll send more goodies to Aw-Aw!! And kissesss
