Shubunkin and work

[ihgreenman]

OK, I admit the title of this post is a bit cryptic. Shubunkin are a breed of goldfish, like Koi and Comets.

As mentioned by singingnettle last night, we got four Shubunkin for our pond out back. They are all a very pretty mottled set of colors

IF "The Boss" = "Happy"
THEN Rejoice = +1
ELSE Rejoice = -1

We keep frogs in our pond. They are cheaper (provided free by Mother Nature) and achieve the same end (no mosquito larvae). But perhaps not so esthetically pleasing.

We would love frogs, but they are not as easy to come by around here. Next spring I will go looking for tadpoles. I inquired about ordering tadpoles but the catch-22 is that you can't get native species, and you can't release non-native species.

Re boss code: there is something deeply wrong with a culture in which whether boss is happy or not determines the order of one's life.

The key to any boss battle is figuring out what their weakness is. Usually, the are invulnerable to all your normal work, and you have to do something special to beat the boss. See if he has a jewel in his forehead you can smash, or some kind of power belt. Be careful, the bosses tend to regenerate fast too.

I usually stop playing once I get to the boss battle myself. I always hate that part.
