What the heck? The ad for it said loud and clear there'd be a decoration sale and other stuff. Unless it's different for each day(which kills the point of black friday ), gotta admit it feels like I saved up gems for nothing.

The ad was for a Thanksgiving sale, didn't say anything about Black Friday.

I think it'll be a different sale each day, 50% off Cali and Flynn is Friday's.

I already spent 270 stones trying to get the alter ego, but only resulted in a fishery.

I'm almost at 400 even throwing one there and there, but will definately try my luck on the 1st to get both the new Alter Ego and the older ones. Jokingly tried to get that lonely Builda Grilla Drilla there with a single Wishstone and got a Chompy Snowman instead, meaning my luck is out for at least today >w>

And I swear every time I read that ad I saw Black Friday instead of Thanksgiving. Must be my country trying to be US' copycat and plastering it on everything even if the sales time is an entire week and not one day(sometimes an entire month, can only wonder how someone got the tradition THIS wrong).

The alter ego ad says "this WEEKEND" past alter egos are back as top prizes.

And it has a time expiring 3d 10 h from now (Friday almost 2 pm)

So I imagine there will be different ones available each day
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9988
#11 Posted: 19:19:53 28/11/2014
Or it might just be a programming hiccup, because Builda Grilla Drilla was actually missing last month, so when adding them he showed up first because of reasons I won't understand for the life of me.

Actually, mine at first only showed Builda Grilla Drilla. But now it's showing a whole bunch of alter egos. So I guess perhaps it was a hiccup!

#13 Posted: 20:30:50 28/11/2014
Well,time to throw in the first 100 wishtones for now then because otherwise it'll take forever in the final day....Aaaand 40 gave me Lucky Boomer. Well, incentive keep trying today I guess.
EDIT: YES, Skeletal Cynder just 10 later. Saving up exactly 400 was really a good idea.EDIT2: And Hoppity Pop Fizz 70 later. Think I'll stop for now, got plenty of guys to train.

Shame that Buttered Pop Thorn appears to have missed the Wishing Weekend list again - three times in a row now, and he's the one I want the most!

Oh well, 2000+ wish stones saved since the previous wishing weekend. Time to build up those finger muscles again! Hope I'm as lucky as Bifrost, nice work on those!

Hmm I see the expiration is listed as dec 1, and the time remaining clock means end of Monday. So I could conceivably dump all my stones on Monday and have them also count towards luck meter for the December alter ego.

Of course a full slate for my work on Monday will pose issues.

240 stones, grill chop chop, holiday wash buckler, tavern, cocoa stand, snowman, bakery cauldron.

Could use fisheries and bed and breakfasts, not sure what likelihood is to get them at level 31

Well I threw in 100 more stones and got 2 Alter Egos so that's nice. I was hoping for B&Bs or Swarms Hut as well and 600 stones in I didn't get either of those things. I'm saving 200 stones for Monday.
Dark fhoenix Emerald Sparx Gems: 3166
#21 Posted: 23:55:49 28/11/2014 | Topic Creator
I tossed in 250 and got 1 BnB , a few 100 000 gold , Cocoa Stand and a fishery .

Better luck next time .

Pretty sure B&Bs don't appear in the well until level 37 or so, if there's a chance they will be shown in the list.

My first 200 stones are into the well, scored 2x 100k, 1x B&B and NYE Countdown.

Very happy with the results so far!

Well, 66% off decorations is pretty good. Got to replace some of the boring markers with Sculptures though I can't keep going without going under 700 - above everything, my objective is getting HEH and Skeletal Cynder's huts, even more now that I have both alter egos.

The rarely available companions like Ol' Mac, Tessa, Fiznik are available again, though at full price.

I have Diggs so I can't tell if he's avail right now or not.

Looks like I'll roll all but 200 stones this weekend and throw the last 200 on Monday. My feeble gem stash will end up picking out two sanctums most likely.

Well I took the chance to max out my shrines. That seems to be the best deal going this weekend. Hoping they put some alt and giant houses out there for sale soon as I still need loads of those.
Kfool Blue Sparx Gems: 737
#32 Posted: 20:41:16 29/11/2014
Scored my first fishery, yay. After that strong opening 200 stone run it's gone flat for the last few hundred. About to level up, will wait until L32 to throw some more, I assume the prize list percentages shift a little when you level.

Oh I got Wolfgang trapped this morning and rolled for my last two skylanders, granite crusher and whisper elf. So go me.

I'm about to revamp my islands again. My big debate is where to focus my higher % decorations like topiaries, shrines, chompy snowmen and Easter egg baskets. Can either load that stuff around the high xp but lower frequency stuff like fizzy juice, library, theater, or keep it around faster cycling but lower yield stuff like the half dozen cocoa stands I ended up with.

(Yes I overthink things and ramble incessantly, having willowbark makes a lot of this pointless)

I use my wish stones too quickly. Although I did use around 50-100 to get myself Knockout Jawbreaker, it was pretty late at the time so my reaction wasn't really a reaction to be honest. ;P I'm so after atleast another Alter Ego by Monday the 1st, gotta catch them all.

Well, so much for all huts - Hallows' Eve Hex's is nowhere to be seen. Gonna have to hold onto 350 for New Years I guess, but at least for now I can freely spend some to decorate around Skeleton Cynder's hut - too bad the only Undead decorations are photoshopped Spooky Trees and tiny cauldrons, not even one pile of bones.

That one is actually the norm since he's included in the Gem pack, and apparently those only show up in a following month. No explanation for Hallows' Eve Hex, though,she already had a gem pack.

There are a few that aren't up. Birthday Bash's house isn't either, but it is in my well. I didn't get it recently, figuring I'd eventually score it from the well now that my wishstone collection is getting large and I've caught up on all the alter egos. I let my son go to town with my well to see if I could win it, but he got bored of it after about 600 stones. I'm pretty sure some others are missing too, but didn't spend much time comparing what I have and what I know about to the list - but I can tell from the list that it isn't nearly complete.

After having missed out on Diggs at Half Price, I pulled the trigger... so we shall see if I regret taking myself down to 10 Gems.
But with my current bankroll of over 80 Million gold, I should be able to keep Diggs busy for a little while!

The stones binge is finally over except for any stones I earn today.

only L32 so no BnB chances in the well.

Spent roughly 1200 stones over the weekend, the numbers shift some as I was also gaining wishstones at a pretty good clip all weekend too.
5 bakeries
2 taverns
2 cocoa stands
3 fisheries
1 shrine

At least a dozen 60,000 gold prizes, some chompy snowmen, some easter egg baskets, cauldrons.

Got Birthday Bash and Merry Snap Shot obviously, the well also gave up:
Grill Master Chop Chop
Holiday Wash Buckler
Hoppity Pop Fizz
Surfer Slam Bam
Cupid Flameslinger
Buddy Wrecking Ball (with only 19 stones left)

Bought huts for Chop Chop, Surfer, Flameslinger and Buddy with gems, as well as one sanctum. May spend my last 300 gems on shrines. Only companions I have left to save up for is Rufus and Tessa so I'm in good shape.

It'll take me a week to sort through all the crap in my inventory and rearrange everything on my islands to make some sort of sense, but all in all I can't complain much, I made out pretty well, and the stretches of getting nothing but barrels and hay bales were balanced out by some nice streaks (2 fisheries and an Alter Ego in the first 40 stones this morning, Buddy when I was down to 19 stones left).

I already had Cynder from halloween wishing event--but I'd sure would've liked to get your other prizes. 1500 in and only Holiday WB to show for it, and then BWB with the last 100 Sat night
