With the new month, comes a new installment of POTM. It works like this:
You find a post you like and you nominate it for Post of the Month. You do this by quoting the post and adding the comment "Post of the Month" or if you think you can't pull it off, simply "POTM". A Mod will move your POTM Reply to this thread. Conversely you can right click on the "Link to Post" at the bottom of each post and Copy Link Location. Then post in this thread with "Post of the Month" (or "POTM" if you think you can), right click in the thread and Paste. You cannot nominate your own post ... I mean c'mon ... that's just really lame ... no matter how cool/funny/clever/poignant you think you were. Each post can only be nominated once. The first person to do so gets the nod. On the 1st of next month (or thereabouts, I mean, we're all working folks here, well most of us) we'll make a Poll with all the nominated threads and everyone here will be invited to vote for their favorite thread. You'll have about a month to vote. So at the end of next month we'll have a winner, or more accurately, two, because the original poster AND the person who nominated them wins. What do you win? Gems of course. The mods will pay the winners.
So, to sum up. - Make good posts. - Nominate good posts. - Vote for posts. - Profit. - Have a laugh
So I'd been desperately trying to get a Ruby over the last couple of days, breeding for it on both the EBI and the normal cave. I'd lost quite a bit of time from being on holiday, but I'd not missed a Gemstone or Crystalline since Amethyst, and I didn't want to break my streak. But what did I manage to get instead? Four Rainbows, two Double Rainbows, an infinite number of hybrids I didn't need, and about -300 gems. I now have a total of zero gems, and have not opened the game since yesterday due to being so frustrated with it. Koalas, why do you hate me? I'll give you anything you want- DC, Food, Magic, Gems (well as soon as I get any). I'll even sing you a song! Ode To The Koala (To the tune of Epona's Song)
Koala, Koala, where is it you fly? Floating on silver wings, high up in the sky, Koala, Koala, can you hear me say, "Come to me in my park, and please stay!"?
Even if you're visiting parks so far from here, Please help me with the magic that you do, Come to me, and grace my park with your presence here, I promise that I'll LOCK YOU UP FOREVER! YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE MY PARK AGAIN! AHAHAHAHA- er, I mean, care for you!
Is that okay, koalas? Ignore the last part, that's not important at all, I don't know what I was thinking when I said that- What do you mean, what's that thing behind me? Oh, that... No, no, of course that's not a koala trap, that's for... Growing treats! Yes, haven't you heard? They've changed the design of the farms- Wait, where are you going? COME BACK HERE!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens to my brain when I have too much caffeine.
How do u NOT POTM this!! Standing ovation... of one
"Are there any OTHER Squidwards I should know about?" I honestly love this. Thank you all.
Side note: wasn't there a tv show or movie where everyone claimed to be some name (not the Squidward reference I mentioned above) but something else.... it's gonna bug me all day now..... it's not Spartacus but I'm sure it was referencing it. Edit: found it. South Park, "I broke the dam". ๐๐
Going off on another tangent here: " What's that smell?" "His salami leg, their salami leg, her salami leg, or Carl's shoes?"
haha truly anyone can be steelbluefire. All the excitement is over the fact that we discovered we can change how our names appear on the forum, and Seรฑor Bones started the chain reaction of switching to my user name, then of course we started playing off the whole "I am Spartacus" gag ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_(film) , allthetropes.wikia.com/wiki/I_Am_Spartacus ). ๐๐๐
Heaven knows what the POTM will finally look like, but here's my first screenshot:
You're right. I should! But then I'm all the more lost when I return here!! It's Grimm's Faire-y tale all over again!! In the woods, it's dark, I don't have the properly paved path, apparently, and no crumbs to leave a trail. Yes, even my dragons are gaunt and starving: To regain airspace and food!! In fact, they're hallucinating now; grumbling something about ships and food-stealing wizards. BLUE, and thinking that I've STOLEN their FIRE. Consoling them, as best I can, for I'm no Gretel without Hansel๐ญ And it's "steel thunder" not fire, I assure them. ...But wait! Maybe there's a way out of all this disenchantment! I, too, can be theirBSF!! Bestie Super Friend! That is what you guys have been meaning, right? Moral of the story: No More AirShips! ๐
๐๐That's very good Stefiebee. POTM ๐๐๐
Looks like not even Hidden Bolt is on track to get the community mystery egg. I wonder if BFS is going to fudge the numbers and be like "congrats, everyone totally did it", or just end the event on that low note.
Hoping for the former, of course. I'm not above taking handouts. Give me my participation trophy.
I may have missed it, but if no one else has... POTM!! "Give me my participation trophy"๐๐. I think this is actually funnier to me now that bfs seems to be.doing just that. They read this and were like welp we better fudge some numbers. Hope the government isn't looking ๐๐๐๐๐
Though the only thing they have produced for me recently was a twin Stoneshell.
POTM ( if we're allowed?!) Just the alliteration alone almost qualifies surely ๐๐๐ ( and whatever that other thing is, palindrome? Same sound diff meanings?... Too lazy to google it ๐)

I still fall over laughing when I see magpac 's (and others) response to me! Mr Bones (@?) (Mr. Bones ) is still having fun with it after having discovered that we can call ourselves anything!!!
I like that, after it evolved from a rash of "I am Spartacus," it seems that Lattelover has chosen to keep hers!

It was Laugh Out Loud Fun, and keeping the new name reminds me of that time!
