General SIF status report....

Finished in T4 in both events, but didn't spend any loveca, so can't really=
 complain. Was almost T3 on the JP server. Scouting ticket on JP was the ne=
w Smile R Nico (which I like), and the one on EN was an R Rin that I still =
needed for idolization, so it wasn't awesome but it wasn't useless.=20

Should be able to do my second 10+1 pull on JP in the next couple of days, =
as am at 46 or 47 loveca and they just started the week of one free loveca =
per day in celebration of two years of Japanese SIF. Also, Maki's birthday =
is on Sunday, which will be another 5 loveca. Not sure if I'll take the pul=
l during general Honor Student recruiting, or wait for the next event to st=
art up and spend it in one of the narrower categories in an attempt to get =
more of particular characters. (Which would be OK, since the JP server stil=
l gives an SR on the special recruiting.)

My JP account was between rank 15 and rank 20 at the start of this event, a=
nd now it is in the low 40s. Fun. Before the event, I was sticking entirely=
 to Easy songs with a lousy team in order to maximize resource gain without=
 wasting LP. One day into the event was my first 10+1 pull (one SR, 10 R). =
At the tail end of the event, I was so short on gold that I was selling ido=
ls into virtual slavery (that is, I was selling them to earn Gold because I=
 was broke) in order to afford Practice and Special Practice. Then this mor=
ning, I made thousands and thousands of gold by taking my less-crappy teams=
 and getting first S/S on Normal songs. It was liberating. :)

Looking forward to the EN Hanayo event. Vaguely tempted to shoot for T2, bu=
t should really wait until higher Ranks for that, as it would probably cost=
 a lot of loveca to hold T2 with a Rank 52 account, and I'm currently F2P..=
. we'll see how long that holds up. Sailor outfit Hanayo would look really =
nice on my team, but so would two copies of the original.=C2=A0 Of course, =
Honoka is two events after that one... decisions, decisions.
[If this all sounds familiar, I posted most of it to the Crunchyroll forums=
 earlier.]
