Mantinence

No. Don't jump to conclusions, the site's not going down. I'm just trying to post more and couldn't come up with a better title. Though I might also talk about some other stuff being maintained. I dunno...

I haven't really gotten anything else written since I posted that chapter of Pure Chaos a few days ago. Part of it is because I don't really know where I'm gonna take it next, I know the levels will start being written soon, however I have no idea at all how I'm going to write them. I guess we'll just have to see how they turn out and wing it.

I bought a copy of RollerCoasterTycoon 3 Platinum on iTunes. I always loved playing RollerCoasterTycoon 2 on our old computers, and I had $60 in iTunes gift cards to spend from Christmas. More than enough to buy the game. And it was worth it. I still don't fully understand why I love the game, but I do. Though I'm rather upset that the staff quit so much in this game. I'm constantly spending $600+ a month on staff wages, and I can never seem to make much money. Unless I use my strategy for paying off loans. Animal babies are expensive. Breed and sell. Also, expensive roller coasters are good, just make sure to charge enough. And also... I can never seem to find where all my money's going every month... I have one map that I can't seem to get ahead on. The only place I can find to cut spending is in staff... Unfortunately by cutting spending, the Janitors can't keep up with the litter and vomit and then my park rating bottoms out. Then no one comes to the park, and I lose money anyways. I have some Pandas that I'm hoping to be able to sell off the cubs from, but they don't breed often enough to keep the debt off... At first my plan was to sell off one cub from each litter, even though the average litter is only two, though I seem to only get one at a time. So I've decided to make an exception if the only cub is female, hopefully they will grow up and breed more often. I really hate having to do that kind of thing, but when I'm $1K+ into debt, and can't take out another loan, what choice do I have?
