My hopes are that Valentines Day will go tomorrow with the update (and that we'll get some more quests because I am less then 200 xp from level 20 and it's annoying me). I like Valentines Day but I'm getting bored of the tacky hearts - I just want Jorvik back!
I have finally managed to collect the whole Valentines set (there are glasses but I hate wearing glasses). It's quite nice although I'd like the saddle pad to be pinker because the whole outfit sort of clashes and doesn't look that nice to wear which is a shame because SSO have recently been making quite nice outfits. If you're wondering where to get things from, I believe that everything is from V-Day quests apart from the ribbons which are from the friendship race and the wraps + bag which are from letters. The friendship race also gives you a box of chocolates (you can put it in your saddle bag), bridles and glasses. Plus you can get some flowers for you saddle bag through around quest. So clothes wise it hasn't been a bad year. However, I just want Easter to get a move on. P.S. Happy Pancake day

How are you getting on with the Valentines Day race? I did a load of races today with the amazing Lilah Applewood, Ruby Riverbell, Louisa Bluepie, Sara Windstar and Alice Southyard. I collected so many hearts and got nothing in return until the very last trade where I got the tail ribbon that the community has been obsessing over! I now have both the ribbons and the glasses. Tomorrow I might try to get a bridle but I don’t know if I can be bothered. The race is too much in my opinion. It’s just too hard to get rewards. I was racing for 1 and a half hours for one ribbon - I mean come on. My suggestions are:
- The race is shorter - It’s easier to get a prize - You only need to swap one heart Oh well, I have the things I wanted to get and I wasn’t overly keen with the other stuff. I have found all of the letters apart from the elusive one at Cape West - I swear I’ve searched everywhere. Does anyone know if it gets you anything actually worth while? I was sitting down to write my weekly SSO fan fiction when I get distracted by looking up Slated fan fiction on Wattpad. There wasn't that much stuff there so I decided to write my own and I got a bit caught up in that with planning and starting to write the first bit. I was wondering if you wanted to read the first bit? I'd be interested in feed back if you want to give some that would be amazing!
First, there was darkness, then light. Bright light; blinding light. So bright that it hurt and made me shut my eyes. It wasn't just that I'd just opened my eyes after a major operation but that the hospital was all white. Later, when I read Snowland, I would compare it to that. But for then I had nothing to compare it to. I'd just woken up after being Slated. That means that I was a criminal but because I was only 11 they decided to give me a second chance. They erase my past, giving me a better future or so Nurse Summers says. Nurse Summers was the one in the room with me when I first opened my eyes. It was her who decided that my navel with the Ella. Since then I've looked up what Ella means. It means beautiful fairy. I've read about those folk with pretty faces and wings. I don't think I really look like that. I'm quiet and just sit there read as soon as I learned how. When you're slated to have to learn everything. How to walk, how to talk, how to pick things up. At first, you're just as temperamental as a baby. Your levo goes down at the simplest things, such as falling over. Then you just get on with it. You sit there in the classes learning about London and the Thames. As soon as I could read, Nurse Jannet took me to the small hospital library and I started browsing through the books. I told Doctor Moxen that I enjoyed reading and she told me that if it brought the number on my levo up then I should keep doing it. My life is keeping my levo levels up. It goes down whenever you get sad or angry. I get very sad sometimes. As in very sad. So sad that my sobbing turns into silent screams and I just want to give up. To go. Some of my best friends in SSO would give anything to change their SSO names. For most of us, when we started SSO we never new that it would become this big a part in our lives. Most of us just thought that it would be something that we dropped into play for a day or two and then good bye. But for most of you reading this I guess it didn’t quite work like that. I chose the name Lisa Silentland. I wouldn’t change Silentland for the world but Lisa. I mean Lisa? I don’t even like the name Lisa. (I’m sure it’s a great name, it’s just not to my personal taste.) So should we be able to change our SSO name?
We could just change it like we change our horses. Hand over a few JS and boom - done. Let Lisa Silentland turn into Drahoslava Frogfeather! Wait a second. What if someone hated Lisa Silentland and didn’t want them in their club? But how could they know that this Frogfeather girl was Lisa? They don’t. This girl who might have said things that made them really uncomfortable can now just sneak into their club and that’s it. However, is that a bad thing? It lets people start afresh. But what if they need to start afresh again and again and they just keep ruining the same person’s gaming experience. What then? So many it’s easier if we just keep to the player names we have. What do you think? As expected, this week let us find the love letters all around Jorvik. I haven't got round to it yet because (as you know) I haven't been feeling 100%. Also they have changed how the horse market works with different horses each time. I don't normal buy horses from the horse market so it doesn't really affect me. But I think some players may find it annoying as they won't be able to get a new horse as fast as they wished.
The fashion market is (finally) back. I hope it comes more often then this! I'm not a big fan of the Western bridles as I only liked one which had awful stats so I didn't get it. Sorry this is so rushed, I'm celebrating a friend's birthday and I've only just got home and I need to leave again. Busy busy busy! Feeling better but I spent all of today half asleep on the sofa and logged on for the club. Really tired but tomorrow I will be fully recovered! I will sleep now but posts tomorrow - I miss having the energy to write.
Update looks nice but I'm tired so I'll review it tomorrow, night xx
Hello! On Monday, I decided that I wanted to finally try to conquer the mountain in Dino Valley. I've only ever made it part way up before so I was ready to show that mountain what I'm made of! We (some Frosties and me) started by doing the fog glitch. We ran to Dino Valley to remove the fog. Then, we hacked to the place where you start climbing. I wasn't the fastest but I wasn't the slowest and I finally managed to get up to here. The next bit is really hard. You can see Pou here doing it and you have to run and jump up a slope. You have to get it exactly right else you don't make it and fall. I was close to giving up but I finally made it as the third one up! The next bit took me some trying as well. At this stage there were Frosties at all levels of the mountain so I wasn't at the back but out of the group of people who were at the front, I was last up. I, however, made up for it by getting the next 2 moves first try and the 3rd 2nd try. (Very proud.) And so I finally reached the top! The Frosties and I then went down to a flatter area for a photo. I then went to explore the rest of the mountain. Or at least I tried, SSO had other ideas...
I'm sorry for no post yesterday but if you follow my Instagram (@lisilentland) you'll know that Weebly was down last night so here is the fan fiction now!
“I think that my senior hates you you know,” a tall handsome girl said. SHe was quite stout with golden hair that was cut short with a fringe that just covered her eyes. Those eyes. Beautiful and green. A look of laughter was etched into them, lighting her whole face up. Of course, she was the one that was laughing at my jokes. “And you don’t?” I replied mockingly. “No, I find you way too interesting. I can’t quite get what’s in your head. At first I think that the, by the way awful, jokes were just your defence but you really aren’t scared, are you?” “No, I’m not,” I admited quite truthfully. I don’t care about anything, not even my own life. I could die each and every day in my line of work, so why not this one? I don’t care about Dark Core and I would leak their secrets in a flash. But (probably for that reason) I never fid out any of them. So there isn’t much to be scared of. The door swung open letting me get my first glance of Mr Senior. I could explain to you each scar and line on his face in the upmost detail so that you can imagine him perfectly. But that would waste a lot of both of our time so I think that it would be easier just to say that he was in his 40s and was covered with tattoos. “You don’t want to make an enemy of me Spectre,” he stated, clearly trying to sound menacing. “I don’t?” “We know you work for Dark Core, “ he nodded knowledgeably as if this was some great achievement. I scoffed. “Buggings, that was pretty damn obvious,” the girl said. This earned my approval and I gave her a smile. Buggings turned, “Stanley, get out and learn to respect your elders and betters,”. So that’s her name, Stanley. And I’m not sure about betters but I certainly agree with elders. I decided to voice this earning me a backhanded blow. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. Oh well, apparently Buggings and I are having a little chat… Today I finally maxed Parhe! It was a big relief to have all my horses maxed again. But I was thinking about some interesting things on SSO today to do with what kind of player you are. It's hard to explain so here they are:
1. Mouse or keys? 2. Training or horse trainer? 3. Clothes + tack in Star Coins or Jorvik Shillings? 4. Arrange horses or putting them in the stall? 5. Stable care or caring? 6. Championships or high scoring? 7. Club or clubless? 8. Training or dailies? 9. Global or say? 10. Group or friend? So you've learned a bit about me! What were you answers? Quite honestly, I'm tired, have a headache and don't feel like writing so I'm going to bed. One thing, wouldn't it be awesome if our horses could fly?
I had the most amazing day with the club today. I mean it! We just had a laugh, lots of fun and got to be us. So think of this as a cross between some of the amazing things FR does as well as a bit of a day in the life of a Frostie. Around lunch time I got into a call with Leah (who isn't in the photo below), Louisa and Ellie. We had a bit of a random chat about life while doing the friendship race for hearts which we exchanged for clothes and tack. I then came off line for a few hours to study and fix my blog for Spring (what do you think). Around 6pm I logged back on to add two people to the club. As is becoming traditional, we met at SGEC where I took a photo prior to joining. Lots of Frosties had been wanting them to join for a while, so the second the photos were done and Willow and Sav had joined them came over and had a welcome party, lots of rearing of course! It was then time for the event (more detail will be on FR website tomorrow). After the event we went climbing which quickly turned into hopping around GED. Or rather hopping ONTO the crates at GED! Lauren didn't quite understand the on bit and quickly fell off again, as shown below! I then went to hide behind a digger (we were in a Skype call this whole time). I told them that the first person to find me would get leader for the evening. Lilian found me first and so she got her wish. Lots of people then started hinting that they wanted to sit in the chair as well. So I just promoted everyone and let then mess around in the club hall with the leader things. Lots of people were also (jokingly) ranked down and removed throughout the evening. However, it all got a bit wild so I went to a nice quite hill to sort of the ranks and breathe! In FR you're never alone for long and Priscilla and Ellie came to join me on Hillard the hill. The chat started to slow and we spoke about relationships (much giggling on Skype) before I logged off for the evening at about 9pm. So that's why i love FR, it's just a place where a crazy group of friends can be together and chill and make each other feel awesome.
A bit late but here is the Valentines day update! It came with the normal 2 quests with Catherine and Donald. We also had a brand new race which I think is awesome. You have to do it with your friends and completing it gets you a heart which you can swap for clothes (I guess, I didn't have time to do it properly). The race was truly amazing. It had 2 jumps which I loved and I wish that SSO introduced into the game normally. The update also came with slight adjustments to some races plus the clearing of ML arena. I think that this really does make ML look a lot nicer and it gives the lower levels an arena to do things like dressage in. For me though the biggest achievement today was editing and filming my first "proper" long video. I hope you like it! Happy Valentines day! So I’m about to write some paragraphs on Instagram to show FR how much I love them this Valentines day but I think that there needs to be more love in this game so I’ve have made several NPC couples that I think are goals together!
Mrs Holdsworth and the Silverglade Council man. They both seem to remember a lot about Jorvik’s history and both are getting on a bit! I think that they would be very cute together and even have a beautiful house by the sea to live in. Alex and Linda. Alex helped to save Linda so I think at this stage Linda fell for Alex. The book loving girl and the hands on Alex may be different but their love of horses and Jorvik has united them. Loretta and Josh. Hot chilled boy. Beautiful arrogant girl. It’s a perfect match! He wouldn’t mind her rudeness as much as some and she’d like how cool it is for him to have his own race track. Plus look wise: they are just meant to be together. Well that’s who I think should be together on Jorvik, how about you? Happy Valentines day! Have you all ready the article about SSO ambassadors? If not let me explain it. SSO ambassadors are a handful of certain players who both do Instagram and YouTube and now will do several collaborations with SSO. The first one takes the form of a give away where each person is giving away 10 days of Star Rider and Star Coins in return for some people answering a question such as "what is your favorite SSO memory". The people doing it are: Drahoslava Dragoncake - Instagram - YouTube Elizabeth Riverland - Instagram - YouTube Esmeralda Silverforce - Instagram - YouTube Melissa Seahall - Instagram - YouTube Renee Bluebridge - Instagram - YouTube Stacy Flowernight - Instagram - YouTube Although I can agree that these people have great talent, I've noticed that SSO haven't linked any blogs even though I know at least one of them has a very active blog which is linked in her Instagram. Ah I suppose SSO bloggers will always be over shadows by the other social media - annoyingly. Overall, I actually can't see the point in it. I think that they'll just promote the game. SSO said they wanted to highlight their work but if they really wanted to do that it would involve more people if they did a weekly shout out. Nice idea but I just don't see the point.
"Well, well, well. The Specter caught at last. You've had JI8's most elite forces looking for you," a man's voice said.
"Took you long enough, kept me looking forward to it I suppose." Maybe not the most tactical answer but I hate JI8 - Jorvik Intelligence. They're such idiots and spend their whole time meddling in private matters instead of ones that actually threaten Jorvik. This room was very boring by the way. It was a few metres wide with a chair in the middle and handcuffed to that chair by her hands and feet was a tiny 15 year old girl. Like an unseeable eye, the one way glass at the end of the room watched - waiting. Waiting for the tiniest movement of an eyebrow that would indicate lying. That's why it was so important that I kept my face relaxed as I spoke, using a semi meditation technique. "Who do you work for?" the voice asked, cold and determinedly ignoring my comment. I suppose it's not every day a 15 year old girl gets the better of his best fear inducing tactics. I roll my eyes in response to this. I mean honestly, it's sort of obvious. Martha Goldspere - CEO of Jorvik Steel inc and refusing to supply DC. John Hemp - x DC security man, now working for JI8, was anyway. The point is who I've disposed and when directly correlates to when they've upset DC. As I said, JI8 are idiots. "I work for the Dark Lord," I wittingly reply. "Who?" "He-who-must-not-be-named, Tom Riddle, Voldemort - whatever name you choose. I'm in the inner circle of death eaters you know. just haven't got the mark yet!" His reaction was priceless. Actually priceless. At first there was a sound that can be purely translated into "jnasdknjk" and then a slow clapping. "She got you Buggings, she got you good," a laughing voice said, clearly amused. This voice was a girls, younger, my age. "Y'know how most people get one phone call, do I get to send someone a howler?" I asked. More laughing from this new voice before the line cut dead. I really do know how to drive people up the wall - sometimes quite literally. Ok so I think it's time I spoke about FR as some people seemed to have grabbed the wrong end of a large stick. Before I start I want to make this clear, if you aren't in FR then I'm not sure how you can know what's happening in FR. Speaking to old members isn't going to help you because they left for a reason - they didn't feel like the club was for them. Which is fair enough but I doubt they will give an unbiased view on what the club is about.
FR is a place where friends can hang out and have a laugh. In short, yes we are a family. With SSO, Whatsapp, Instagram and fan groups we're just a group of people who like spending time together (even though they're all newbies) and having a laugh. We do have 3 organized events a week because people enjoy doing them and running them. We also have unorganized 'events' (they're more just hang outs) where we do whatever, climb, photo shoot, etc. There are many misconceptions about activity. You do not have to attend events, you just have you be an active member of the family. Whether this is just speaking on SSO chat, attending events or on chat outside SSO. If you never (without reason) join in with the club then there isn't a whole lot of point of you being in it. Before we remove people we do speak to them so that if there is a reason they don't get removed. So yeah, if you've been confused about what FR is about there is the real explanation - we're just a place where friends are family! I woke up this morning far too late (10:30). When I was finally in some state of consciousness I went downstairs to turn the heating on before having a healthy breakfast of waffles and Nutella! After this I logged on and started training. I used to power train all my horses up to level 15 in five days but now I like to slow it down and speak to the club while I train Parhe. Today I got him up to level 12 which is good. I'm going away this weekend but with a level a day I hope he'll be maxed by next Wednesday! I then made myself a smoked cheese toasty and a nutella toasty. While I waited for these to cook, I prepared tomorrows blog post for when I was away. I ate my toasties (they were amazing) before watching some Twilight (I love both the books and the films - highly recommended). I also practiced my lines and cues so that I'd be off script (when an actor knows all of their lines) for all the scenes that we'd done. Before I had to leave for my acting stuff I took some photos for Instagram that I could post on my story and my normal posts when I was away (follow @lisilentland, shameless self promotion). When I had lots taken I left for drama class before getting home and talking to some people online that I haven't spoken to in ages. Finally, I wrote this post and I'm about to pack my bag for tomorrow. I'll be back Sunday evening!
Today I had a speaking competition and I thought it's time to remind people that it's important not to compare yourself to others. I'm so proud of my team mates and myself for today. We didn't make any mistakes and I couldn't have asked for more. So what we didn't win? The winning team was truly fantastic but I'm not bothered. I'm not bothered because I had so much fun in this competition that winning actually doesn't seem that important. It sounds so much like I'm trying to be the perfect person and be like la la taking part is important but I'm not. I just am so proud of how we did as a team, not how we did compared to the other teams. You might not be the best so what? If it's something that you truly enjoy then your rank compared to others shouldn't be important. Thank you for reading my thoughts on this!
The pigs are back! Some people are annoyed that it's a small update but we can't expect a big one every week and it wasn't that bad last week plus we have the new phone app so chill people - chill. Let's take a look at the new pigs, (sorry for bad quality, I'm yet to work out how to do it well). I won't be getting one as the only affordable one is the yellow one which i don't like plus I do already have one! But I mean 400 star coins for something more worthless than clothes? It's just not happening.
What do you think of the price of pets? |
