Tips for the second week of June.
Remembrance— The famous battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775—which took place mostly on Breed’s hill. Guess they had problems teaching Geography back in those days too(lol). Even our current president believes that the United States has 57 states—still waiting for the reporter with the guts to ask him the names of the extra seven states. The battle of the Rosebud, Montana, June 17, 1876. The Lakota Sioux stopped General Crooks advance towards the Little Big Horn where he was to meet up with Custer. Custer always bragged that he could ride through the Sioux nation with 270 Calvary. Like Grattan, and Fetterman before, he underestimated his opponents. June has three key events for WWII. The National Wills of Germany vs. Russia over the battle of Stalingrad was set in motion with the Germans Advance on Stalingrad. In the Pacific the United States planned the landing at Guadalcanal. The failure of Germany to seize the moment during Dunkirk had their high command decided to mount the first sustained Strategic Bombing campaign to eliminate the RAF—which would lead to what is now called the Battle of Brittan. I’ve chatted with a person who mentioned that when he was 10 he met a English woman who was a secretary at one of the RAF command centers. She mentioned that most do not have a clue on how close the RAF came to completely disappearing. The German Airforce had so successfully damaged their airfields, production plants and planes that the RAF was only putting 7 to 12 fighters a day in the air to oppose the German AirForce. A twist of fate occurred when the RAF put a desperation bombing raid against Berlin together which accidentally dropped bombs on Civilian instead of Industrial and Military Targets. It so enraged Hitler that he changed his Airforce from attacking Strategic Targets to the Blitz of London. My sources felt that the RAF was within a week to 10 days of completely disappearing.

Trading—Trading is basically dead at the moment. While I was having fun riding roller coasters last weekend some were using some script and gifting to counterfeit lottos. This has caused Zygna to introduce blocks to stop gifters. I’m told they will be changing the lottos and setting back those who did it. Right now, most traders are just leaving comments on protest sites and logging off. It’s too difficult to trade with the gift all button sometimes gone or disabled and the gifting tools not working. Values are way down. I am personally looking for 2 diamonds, Idol and Hope. Will pay 4 Hunters, Rails or Mugatis for them. They are for my own vaulting. Also counterfeit lottos will be deleted and all lottos will get a new look according to zygna.

To make yourself stronger. Work on London. If you’ve not finished NY –finish it. You’re energy doubles. Then skip Cuba(you can do one job a day there and get your friends help). Skip Moscow. You can do the daily Get Help job there. Work on Bangkok. If you have enough baht for the faction weapons you can focus on the job that drops the T. Katars. If you don’t have the baht you should focus on the Armor such as the Ninjas and T. Katars, Once you hit that job, just keep doing it over and over. Once you have looted 500 T Katars and their top armor then you can do the rest of the jobs and go back and get Cuba and Moscow. But focus on the jobs that give you the best weapons to fight. Here are the drop weapons in Bangkok most should be aware of and working on: 100 Titanium Katar (50 defense), 100 Royal Thai Marine (49 defense), 100 Raed Armored Sedan (47 defense), 100 Nak Kha Shotguns (47 attack), 100 Ninja (47 attack), 100 Lamang Motorcycle (49 attack).
Animals: Yes they finally took them out of Armor and gave them their own area. You can purchase animals in NY, Cuba, Moscow, and Bangkok. Bangkok is the strongest. Remember you need 501 max. More does not help add to your attack. Play with the mix that gives you the best.

A follow-up on Combat Calculators. It was pointed out to me, and is true that most of the Combat Calculators actually save and record your abilities for one clan or another when you use them. Again, I recommend that you skip them if you’re a very strong player. Their models and assumptions tend to break down when you’re well above average.

More about my Visit to San Francisco
We visited a number of coffee houses. I’ve never seen a city with more desperately lonely people. Not sure if it has to do with the ambiance and draw of San Francisco—it’s the last place west that you can head too—“Go West so to speak”(most of us can’t walk on water and cross the Pacific). We visited my friend’s co-ed dorm at SFSU. While there I was recognized by some guy as we walked down the hallway to her dorm room. Now my friends are beginning to wonder how people recognize me 2,000 miles from home. Again had to do an autograph and let him show me his mafia war stuff, look over his weapons and give some personal advise. Of course, I logged onto his computer for a few minutes and let him have a look at my stuff. And it worked out where my friend got a date with the guy who I admit was pretty good cute.

The Story Continues
We finished eating our squirrels and my uncle said that should take the edge off our hunger and then asked me if I would help him with preparing the evening meal. We were having company over and aunt Betty was out getting her hair done. My uncle liked to cook every couple weeks and give her a break. I said sure. With everyone was about 30 people. We went into the main house and first he had to set the mood. He put on Sinatra. Said he like the elegance that the music of the Rat Pack set(I find even today that if you want an elegant feeling it’s hard to beat Dean and Sinatra). I helped clean and slice the vegetables I’d pulled earlier that day, put the leaves into the long table and watched and chatted with my uncle as he downed his chef’s hat and fried the fish and cooked the steaks. He cooked and seasoned the vegetables. I put on the rice in the rice cooker and then went and spiffed myself up a little to play hostess as our guests and farm hands came in. My aunt arrived and was pleased, but not surprised that everything was running smoothly. It was quit a feast. I discovered the purpose of the of the gathering was to prepare the farm for being like a secure motel for a number of horses that people were bringing in for the founders parade and or the county faire. While most of the time the farm was pretty low security it changed due to the value of some of the horses that would be staying with us. The gate to the trailer hook ups which included the barns and pastures for the visiting horses would be kept padlocked and guarded. Removable Spike guards would be placed as well to destroy tires of anyone trying to run the gates. The training with the guns and his killing zone training was now making sense on how if there was an alert everyone had safe positions to be responsible for and could provide support to others. My uncle had one policy on horse thieves—it’s ok to shoot to kill, and it’s ok to shoot first. The next morning we were to be issued new guns and the ammunition change from the normal first shot being bird shot to being lethal rounds. The Sheriff was there to back him up and told us about when the various patrols we’re scheduled to be in the area and that the ranch channel monitored so they could also provide support. We were all getting paid to be a gate guard, even me, very cool. The farm had never had a problem and part of it was my uncles reputation—he was known as someone you did not cross. Only my uncle would let horses in or out. He would Poloroid them coming and going and look at their lip tattoos. Never knew there was that much too it. Aunt Betty had also returned with a totally great Indian Princess Outfit for me to wear on the float on the parade—I had no clue she was so good with guessing sizes.

The next morning I was issued a MAK-90, better known as an AK47. The MAK-90 only fires 1 round at a time, the machine gun feature being disabled. We all went to the range after morning chores and did some practice. And yes, I worked in 10 minutes throwing my hatchet. My uncle liked the MAK 90—at the time was extremely cheap, extremely reliable, very low jamming rate, terrifying look of the weapon and it sounds different so if used we would all be able to hear that someone was in trouble and not mistake it for any hunting weapon. Was thinking my friends at camp were swimming, horseback riding, learning archery. Me, I was learning how to throw hatchets, fire guns, clean fish and squirrels, and I was going to get to be a Indian Princess on a parade float. This was going to be a pretty cool summer after all. And my Mom would probably faint if she knew I was being trained in weapons. Hoped she was having a good time in Hawaii.
