Actually it has been much easier. It took me 1 and a half characters to get 12 glasses of milk, while the remaining 1 and a half characters worth of adventures netted me 18 bottles of vodka. Not to mention a large haul of whiskey and gin as well which I can sell at the mall.

Don't worry about helping with the collection, meat will help our clan out more than getting my chracters trophies will.

Really? I am still not sure: how does having lots of meat in the coffers help out the clan? Well, either way, I contributed some meat to raise the amount of money up to 5mil.

Also, the statistics guy in town lists the "goodies-rich clans"... What is that? Surely we got over 300 things in the stash? ...

You buy or steal actual bags of goodies from other clans - that makes your clan a target but puts you higher on the list. Last I checked we had no bags of goodies.

So are these "goodies" good for anything other than putting your clan high on that list?

:shrug:

You could check the KoL forums I guess...

One thing we could do with excess meat is - the next time the pickle factory is around, buy each member a ghost pickle on a stick or enough ingredients to make their own one. We'll have to check the market prices of things to find the cheapest way to get them, but it is a good idea for us all to save up so we can get another familiar.

Oh, so the clan leader or whatever can actually buy things at the mall using the clan funds? I see. Cool.

Nah, this is an out-side of official clan business thing. The only stuff I can buy is training for our members (8-10 increase in a single stat costs the clan 24300 meat for instance).

[Kassiopeia]

I put a bottle of vodka I came across in the clan stash, if that's any help.

10-8 stats?! You could double any of my stats with that.

Oh, and I'm still a Normal Member, I feel so special among all the Polytubbies.

Hmm... Not very cost-effective. Even the legends of old, or whatever they are called give you more for 30K. Then again, I guess the clan thing gives *everybody* a stat boost, not only one person, so if we all contributed to the coffers the same amount of money, then it *would* in the end be more cost-effective, given enough clan members.

I think he means minor stats? Like you gain 8 strengthliness, whereas I would need another 200+ to get another Strength point.

[Kassiopeia]

Oh. I do need 20+ strenghtliness/strogness/beefiness for another muscle point, yes...

[Skanky Burns]

Yeah, I suspect it is the minor stats they improve, so I would need to do that 30 times just to raise a single major stat point.
Thanks for the vodka.

I've grabbed a few stuff from the clan stash to sell on the market. Should get quite a bit of meat for these.

Also, if anyone wants to have their title changed, just let me know.

[joncha]

I added what little vodka I had to the stash.

[joncha]

I just burned 50 adventures in Cobb's Knob for you, Skanky. 9 more bottles of vodka dropped off in the stash.

[Skanky Burns]

Cool, much appreciated.
