Well, I am a little girl, and I have on my pink dress today. I spilt my ice cream months ago.
Before I knew better, I hurried through the tech tree and hurried through quests which had me taking sectors. Now I am a few sectors shy of “advancing” out of Modern area provinces, but I am in Progressive Era. And still playing catch-up to my Progressive Age in several areas. I have found good mentors. And finally realized this game is not like the others I had played before. You really do need to read, join a guild, have friends who actively help you out, and most of all- Plan Better! Cannot just skate through and hope for the best.
That said, the Cherry Blossom Festival will do without me after today’s quest which requires gaining a sector. It would not benefit me enough to be worth it, damaging the weeks - months- I have spent correcting my reckless play style. And I really wanted the Gong to complete my set. C’est la vie!
Edit- Ok, I caved- got the sectors- and all good so far- still several sectors to open up that were hidden. Sigh- But I have gotten one kit so far and upgraded one piece- and hope to get the Gong when the chance comes up-. Still not sure it is totally worth all the extra hassles- but- here is hoping!! Life is an adventure, and you do not want to be left behind.
