Return from CND

Well dear readers it is sad to say a lost pretty much everything bar my shirt on CND. I in fact only left myself with enough peds to be able to fly back down with. Even then I was tempted to go spend this and if ned be sweat the cost of the flight down! Thankfully I resisted and made the trip back down.

I just don't know what it is about me and CND. Maybe my avatar is not skilled enough. Maybe the technique I use planetside doesn't work quite as good on CND. WHo knows? Only MA have the answer and they are not saying.

After landing planetside side I raided my storage and sold a lot of my rainy day stock. Enough to buy me a oa101 and 200 bombs and set off into the wilderness. With 25 bombs left of the trip I got the feeling I was ready to global. So I said in soc chat "with these last 25 bombs I will hit a global" or words to that effect. Well I was beginning to think that my prediction would prove false. I stood looking at my last bomb for a moment thinking "how did I not global?" ran forward a little dodged to the left dropped and then BOOM! I hit the following with it:

Only a small one I know but a global none the less. At the end of the day several hundred bombs 1 global 1 large and quite a few X and IX finds later I found myself roughly 200ped up again after markup. It makes no sense to me. Plaentside ore mining I usually at least break even and profit. occassionally i'll make a small loss and very occasionally a big loss (usually when i'm testing new mining theories or doing enmatter too!).

Speaking of which I decided to test someone elses theory out after reading it on ef. I tp'd over to Treasure Island north tp and headed a little NW. Facing West I dropped a bomb and then ran forwqard for 100M and dropped another bomb. I kept doing this without extracting any finds several more times until finally I turned South ran for 150m dropped a bomb turned E and began dropping every 100m. After covering the area I went back to extract my finds (very few of them I may add). On the way to the first one I was wondering "hmm what would double bombing do?" So I began to double bomb. On my second to last bomb I hit a XII cobalt find. Now this baffled me. After all it is in an area already previously covered by my bombing! Oh well best not to dwell on it to much.

Yesterday was my wife's birthday so my Entropia time was limited. Hopefully tomorrow will bring that all elusive tower not that I have finally maxed out the of-105...

PS anyone with a reasonably priced Z20 give me a shout!

PPS The more astute of you may find my last post is a little easier to read and a little bit different to this and previous posts of mine. This is because the length of my last post was such I decided to get my wife to edit it for me to make sure it flowed with the correct punctuation as my grammar gets worse every day!
