"Hey wow a notebook. Whoever Thought Corn's looted paper. I might as well use it - it has no value"

Dear Calypso Diary-

I was desperately hunting Cornundacaudas and Combibo's today when I looted you. After four hard months of hunting, mining, sweating and dieing I found you. Something better then the odd pec and hides. I might as well fill in some of my history so I don't forget it forever from all those darn Revive's. I landed on Calypso at the very beginning of 2006. When I don't remember exactly it's pretty fuzzy but never-the-less I am here. Since I can't get any PED's from my earth bank accounts I decided I might aswell sweat and try and get some TP's. I lived around Billy's Spaceship Afterworld for awhile because Camp Pheonix was really crowded and Billy's seemed more like a home. It was there that I found my amazing mentor whose name I will leave out unless he wants to be added. He got me many of the tp's, took me on my first hunts to help me get started with a little bit of PED, and overall was nice and helpful. Eventually I was introduced to his society Miners of the Mountains which some of you are probably familiar with. It's been a roller coaster ever since and even though I still haven't gotten a solo global (or even team one for that matter) I have received a few good loots that have really kept my spirits up. I won't go into details but if enough people ask me to I may add a list next entry. Recently, unfortunately, I have been a downhill spiral starting with a hunt that I only received about 3% of what I put into it back.

Anyway enough about my history. Today I went out sweating while reading a new book. Multitasking is a lot easier with hot keys. As I started off my first attempt my loot window popped open and I thought to myself "how lucky". Then the same thing happened for the next and the next. After my third consecutive attempt the Snable was dry and I killed it in a couple opalo shots. Guess what I got from it.... Nothing. So I continued sweating and got a bunch more successes and eventually I had enough ped for about 3 PED of ammo. So I sold it at PA and went hunting Corns and Combibo's north of Medusa. One of my favourite spots. Unfortunately today it was not producing very well at all. Oh well I finished off my small ammount of ammo and at the end I came up with about half of my ammo and decay cost. I got some good skill's at least. I only wish I could get a global so I could got up and vist CND. Oh well the time will come.

Dear Calypso Diary-

Today was a rather good day for me. I sold all my built up hides and sweat to one of my society's resident crafter/tailors (again no names) to get my self out of a 1 digit PED Card and then sweated my pants off. Again I got a quite a bit in a short and spent that on some ammo and a couple probes. I shot at some Daikiba's as I didn't feel like using my 103 amp today and most of them ended up as little to no loot. Then I got 3 perception from one mob and thought to myself "Hmmmm the theory may most likely be false but what the heck" and I dropped a probe on the spot. The finder popped and and it showed I got something. As I looked I saw unknown, unknown and I thought to myself that this may be my lucky day. As I reached the spot I received the claim... Tiny Oil.... typical. I drilled it up at least thanful for something and continued on my way. Then after a few more no loots and my last probe I got the best loot of the hunt.... 1.12 PED

. Whoopie.... well better then a no loot so I took it and came close to breaking even. Oh well the hunt had mostly been for skills anyway. So I hope to get to CND soon and I believe it may be in the near future

Dear Calypso Diary-

Finally made it up to Club Neverdie Courtesy of our favorite event planner and the great pilot Creature. Checked out the control room but then had to log off. When I came back on there was a party going on with everyone dancing in a circle. I just had to join in. When it ended Mindstar9 and Blood Moon took me on a tour of CND. One of the stops was their apartment. We had a short pre-event party there with other people including; cat, Psycho Al, Slick, Samantha, and a few others. Sorry if I missed you it was all a little fuzzy and for some reason not all of my pictures saved. I must remember to write down everyone that was there. Anyway here are some pictures of the parties

Yesterday (well early Today) night was the big media event and dance at CND. I was one of the first to register as soon as I made sure my soccer game (going to use soccer instead of football so some people don't get confused) finished before the event started. Unfortunately the game ran a little bit long but I got lucky that the event didn't start right on time and that I was able to get into the VIP section in time for the contest to start. This was the first dance contest that I participated in so I didn't expect to win but I had fun anyway. It was great running back and forth between the computer and the G4TV coverage of E3 but unfortunately if PE was shown I missed it. Anyway good job to all the winners and thank you for the fun everyone especially MS9 who as always organized a great event and cleared the platform really quickly with that whip of hers.

Dear Calypso Diary-

Today I didn't do much but explore and sweat. I checked out some of the corridors and some of the "scarier" domes. Lets just say the Daspletor took me out before I could take any good pictures. I did get one weird one looking up in one of the corridors. Anyway thats all for today

I have been having some internet problems lately so I haven't been able to get on long enough to post or go on PE. Using my friends computer to read posts whenever I can and I hope to be back soon. I miss everyone.

Dear Calypso Diary-

I logged on to EU today to check the time for MiH (I am really bad at converting the times) and noticed a lot of people where on. I chatted with some of my soc mates and some people in the control room briefly before heading out because I didn't want to strain my dieing internet service. I ended up checking my email very briefly after I logged off and right as I finished my last email my connection went down grrrrrrr..... So I tryed in vain for the the next half an hour to get the internet working but it didn't work out. I decided to play some offline games until half an hour before the contest so I wouldn't strain the internet but it wasn't until almost an hour into MiH that my connection started working again. I got on and unfortunately missed being a contestant but at least I was able to watch for an hour. Then everything started getting really laggy and I could tell that my connection was about to go down again so I said bye quickly, logged out and just as the screen went down so did my connection. I got back online later to find out Mindstar, Moonie, Moonear and Asti had gone planetside hunting and a bunch of people were having an afterparty at Psycho Al's apartment. So I headed over and had a great time with everyone but unfortunately I forgot to open PEAss so I couldn't take a lot of pictures. I can tell you Fliss was doing he usual air dancing act ;P and the dancefloor was awsome. Thanks everyone for making my limited time on enjoyable.

Dear Calypso Diary-

My internet was working for more then a few minutes so I decided to try and see if I could get onto EU and see what changed in the VU. It took a little while to get on but eventually I did. Somehow it didn't really seem like much had changed. After catching up with a few of my soc-mates I hopped into dome 5 with some probes and ammo. It seems praying to Lootius didn't help me very much as I only recieved about a 1 PED back of loot from my 6 PED ammo and nothing at all from 4 PED of probes and bombs. I am beginning to run very low on PED hopefully I will get a big loot soon or I may be stuck sweating for awhile and waiting for a buyer.

Dear Calypso Diary-

It has been so long since I have wrote to you but I have been very busy. I decided to do a little bit of mining today and seeing as Sir Odd always raves about Dome 1 being the best I headed there. Right away just a few seconds away from the teleporter I dropped a probe and for the first time ever, after almost 25 PED wasted I got my first Club Neverdie Hit. It was unfortunately only a modest melchi but it is still the second best hit I have gotten ever. So if anyone is looking for Melchi, or any of the stuff I brought up with me (Alicenies, some wood, hides, wool, and a few other things) contact me. Next time I get a chance I will price them and post it up.

Dear Calypso Diary-

I got my second mining hit today. It was only a small oil which although better then nothing doesn't help much with my money crisis. I will have to do some emergency sweating soon. Hope Lootius helps me out here. Oh well thats the nature of the game.
