It's not great to teach unless you have 5 stars in Basic Teaching and advanced pedagogy. Otherwise your kids won't Eureka! much and the Eureka! is what you need to get stars. As a newb, I think it's better to simply improve.



Actually, you don't need to Eureka. I think that it helps, but I got a star on an update that had no Eureka. It seems like (though I haven't confirmed this) each update you teach you get a bit closer to a star - Eurekas just get you more of that bit than non-Eurekas. Also, I'm teaching fine with just the Teaching skill and no stars in it. Nearly all of my students have learned Basic Econ now.

Was listening to them this morning!


I love that song for some reason. Reminds me of Iron Maiden in a sense I guess... with the whole cool story in the song thing. And cus they rock. But yeah so few bands could pull off those epic stories in songs.

QFT!

Basically, my mentor told me never to worry about mood because during these holidays you can just get it back up to 100%! happy.gif

I bought mine in a shop. They're listed under Toys.

Edit: More love for the Halloween event... I love the Halloween style format! I wish I could keep it for good!

Yeah, that happens if you don't log in for a few days.

And you could buy books to learn from or instruments if you need em. Whichever you decide, I'd put all but 100-200 of what's left in the bank at a time so you have enough to be effective if you need to go shopping but won't accidently spend a crazy amount shopping. Though, shopping is really the least effective mood boosting method - besides party all night, of course.

It's a shame I have spent most of Halloween on a plane all by myself. I'm glad I got one good scare in anyway...and better yet, a splendid snuggle! wink.gif

Almost in Melbourne! smile.gif

Whats a good way to boost mood? I've been having trouble with that.

As quickly as you can, get a halloween mask, interact with someone and use it. It gives a 10% or so increase to mood per hour on halloween, which will last for the next 6 hours, I believe.

Well, right now, spend some of that money ona Halloween mask. You can use it in your interaction with people once an hour and it gives you a HUGE boost.

The best normal method I've found is to eat chocolate. You'll get a 1-5% boost. Then an hour later or thereabouts, you'll lose as much health as your mood boosted. The thing is that it's so much easier to increase your health (via resting or the gym) that it's more efficient to maintain your mood this way, IMO.

I'm getting the first star in 4 updates with 75% IQ. Second is 4 or 5, third's a little more I think (I haven't gotten the third in Drums yet, think I just hit the fourth update on it).

Halloween's over, at least in Shanghai. Next holiday should be New Year's, but don't get fireworks yet if you're traveling.

I heard party all night is really better for rock stars, shopping for the rest of us for a mood boost tongue.gif Or get a 3 month VIP deal.gif

Huh, Halloween's still kicken in LA.

Timezones! Even in fake worlds they mess with me! laugh.gif

edit: And just how many months of VIP have you racked up so far, Reiha? laugh.gif

laugh.gif I used your chocolate-eating method Noola, and someone noticed and warned me not to become addicted and said shopping was better. Hmm! I dunno, perhaps a blend of both is the ideal solution? funky.gif
