Well everyone, I'm back. It's been a long time, but I'm finally ready to update you all on my exciting Tamagotchi life. The following are entries from my most recent log, including today's:

June 5th, 2011

I am currently running my black sparks V4 and my blue constellation V3. Now, I must apologise for not starting this log sooner; both of my Tama's are adults with babies on the way. But let's introduce Joey and Vinny.

Joey is a Mimitchi on my V4. She's been enjoying her job as a bank teller and has studied hard in the field of intelligence ever since her Ringotchi days. Yesterday she had a son with a Gozarutchi that the Matchmaker brought out. Today is my last day with Joey; how I'll miss her.   

Next, we have Vinny, a V3 Memetchi. He has been very easy to take care of since his toddler stage as a Mizutamatchi. He would've been a Mametchi for sure if I hadn't made one little mistake; just before he changed into his adult form, I was supposed to give him a time out, but I praised him instead. I believe that being short one training bar sunk me into the Memetchi stage, but I don't mind in the slightest; he is so adorable that my mistakes in raising him really don't matter. The Matchmaker brought out a Debatchi for him today and he had a daughter. Right now he's taking a bath.

Joey's leaving tonight, but I have one more day with Vinny. Right now, my job is to think up names for the babies. That's always fun. Until tomorrow. 


June 6, 2011

Last night, I watched Joey leave   . This morning, baby Eliot was left in my care. He was a fairly easygoing baby. After an hour of baby fun, little Eliot became a Harutchi. He clearly takes after his mother   . I think I'm going to aim for Zukyutchi, as I've never had him before and he's sooooo cute.

Nothing remarkable to say about Vinny this morning. Today is my last day with him and I'll be taking care of his daughter tomorrow. I do have a name picked out for her, but I'm leaving that as a surprise for you all until tomorrow.

That's pretty much my log for today. If anything exciting happens, I'll be sure to let you all know. 


June 7, 2011

This morning was a bit of a hectic morning for me. Eliot's designated wake-up time was 9 AM and I had a thyroid sonogram at 9:30 so I couldn't keep too close of an eye on him for about 20 minutes. He seemed to be OK, however. I gave him a quick praising before I went in for my test and he was quiet for the rest of the time I was being examined. When my test was done, I took Eliot out of my pocket and grinned when I laid eyes on my adorable new Young Androtchi. Bingo. I set him up with Mr. Canvas and they've been studying quite a bit today, and, granted his weight will let me, I've been playing the flag game with him. He currently has seven training bars so I believe I'm treating him quite well, despite letting his hearts drop down to two in hunger and one in happiness after a nap this evening. But I cleaned up, played with, and fed Eliot and he's happy as can be now.

Vinny's departure last night was very difficult for me to watch for some reason. But this morning, I acquired care of his daughter Poppy. I started her up after my test and took fairly good care of her, but after leaving her unattended in my pocket for the last 20 minutes of her infancy, her hearts were down to one each, she had a pile of poop next to her, and she had become...a Kuchitamatchi. Oh, no..., I thought to myself, where did I go wrong? From then on out, I tried to take as good care of Poppy as I could. I kept her hearts full and disciplined her when she called for it...until my nap this evening. When I picked her up again, her hearts were back down to one each. Poor Poppy   I fixed her up, but I'm a little worried because she only has three training bars and is about to finish her first day in toddlerhood. Bottom line, I need to be more attentive when it comes to Poppy and perhaps not give Eliot all the attention   

Maybe I'll put Poppy to bed early tonight. I managed to get her on the potty once this morning, so an early lights-out may keep her happy. Let's hope so. Until tomorrow, my friends.


Today's Entry (June 9, 2011)

I was asleep for most of the day yesterday, so I had hearts dropping all over the place with both Eliot and Poppy. But thankfully I saved both of them before they got sick from starving or not being played with. Eliot had a full training bar by yesterday evening and plenty of skill points to turn into a Zukyutchi today. I am a happy camper.

I've been trying to take good care of Poppy. I really have. But yesterday, she became her teenage form: Hinatchi. I am not sure if Hinatchi is a healthy or unhealthy character, but I do worry about Poppy; I made the same mistake with her that I did with Vinny before; I gave her praise instead of a time-out. I wouldn't mind a "mediocre" character, as I've only had the super healthy and super unhealthy characters with the exceptions of Memetchi and Tarakotchi, but I still feel a bit guilty about neglecting Poppy as much as I did. Perhaps it has to do with how sad I was when Vinny left. But that's kind of a personal problem   

This morning, before Eliot's transformation, I got an adorable pic of him brushing his teeth. Later, I'll post the pic.

Hi! It is really great to see you here! It is so happy-making to see people here and updating their logs again. I can't wait to read more updates on your undoubtedly completely amazing tama life.

Good luck with Poppy! Even if she doesn't turn out exactly as you'd like her to, there is always another tam down the line.

[DuchessOfTheArctic]

Thanks, Rose.  It's definitely nice to be back, too. With that, here's my log covering the past 6 days.

Sorry I've been away for a while. I've been preoccupied for the past few days and have neglected to update this log. Oops.

So, here's the story. Eliot had a (boring) job sorting utensils at the Gotchi restaurant. I loved having him around. He mated with a Maidtchi and had a daughter, currently in my care, named Sindy. She is a Ringotchi, having evolved from her Puchitchi form this morning. I accidentally let her sleep with poop next to her and completely drained hearts last night, so I cheated a little; I set the time back an hour and fixed her up, then turned the clock back forward again. I would not usually do that with any other Tama besides the V4, simply because I hate Universal characters.

This is Eliot, coming up close.

On my V3, Poppy became a Debatchi.

I was getting bored with my V3 and decided to put the battery into my V2. I hatched Benji, a cute baby boy. I had my ups and downs with Benji. After 4 days of letting hearts drop constantly, having him sulk with his back towards me once for happiness (though I took care of him long before he would've gotten sick from it), sleeping with the lights on one night and poop next to him another, Benji became a Kusatchi. I was secretly hoping for a Kusatchi, but at the same time, did not want to neglect too much. I'm going to enjoy my time with Benji, as it is precious, since Kusatchi is long sought-after.

Here's a video I made of Benji coming up close to the screen.

Hope you enjoyed my log for today and all that comes with it.

[DuchessOfTheArctic]

Much has happened since my last post. I've been under a lot of stress so I apologise for not posting more frequently, but I will try to do so from now on.

Eliot's daughter Sindy became a Marotchi after just barely getting away with being short two training bars. She had some trouble getting a job but ultimately took a job as a firefighter. She had a baby girl, but I took the battery out and put it in my other V4 because I was tired of raising girls on my V4 and I wanted to show off my other V4 unit, my glow-in-the-dark one. So yesterday, I put the battery in my glow-in-the-dark V4 and hatched Garth. He went from Mizutamatchi to Gourmetchi. I absolutely adore Gourmetchi. Since I've been working only with intelligence and social points, I set Garth up with Miss Flower and he will ultimately become a Togetchi. I've been taking excellent care of Garth, perhaps a bit too excellent; he's been so skinny that he hasn't wanted to play. He's sleeping right now, but tomorrow I'll get a picture of Garth, my adorable Gourmetchi.

On my V2, Benji left behind a son named Kevin. I fell into the same trap I did with his father; he sulked from depression and slept with the lights on last night. Thus, he is a Puroperatchi. Oops. I don't mind Puroperatchi in the slightest. It's kind of cute to watch him fly across the track in the Jump game. I'm trying to take better care of Kevin from now on. I turned the lights off tonight so it's a start.

More tomorrow, my friends.

[DuchessOfTheArctic]

Yikes! I overslept today and Kevin was sick from unhappiness. I fixed him up right away, but I can't help but worry about his growth from here on out. Tomorrow is his last full day in his teenage form. I suppose all I can do from here is be more attentive, discipline appropriately, and try to relax. I played lots of games with him today because his happy hearts keep draining so quickly. The poor guy. Maybe he needs Tama Prozac. Only kidding. I do have to say, however, that the neglect I've been giving him does make me curious about what adult I'm going to get, because I am not so familiar with the V2 characters. I'm sure through a long trial and error process, I will get something healthy eventually.

Somehow, Garth seemed impervious to my oversleeping this morning. The adorable little Gourmetchi received all necessary care, including two time-outs and a praising. I'm really excited for Garth's future. I want him to have one of the jobs that requires more skill points, so I'm trying to play the Dance game with him as much as possible, but I'm not very good at it. I suppose I'll get better with practice, but that will only happen if Garth will stop losing so much weight. Needless to say, that's something we have in common. But tomorrow will be an exciting day: adulthood!



This is Garth I'm so glad I figured out how to post pictures in the actual forum.

[Rose]

Gourmetchi is so adorable. ^_^ Don't worry about the game! I'm sure that you will get better at it. Yay for the ability to post pictures!
Good luck with your tamas!

[DuchessOfTheArctic]

Thank you, Rose, and I did actually beat the game a couple of times Here's the update on my Tamas for today.

With Kevin, I faced my worst nightmare: taking bad enough care that I got Gozarutchi. I learned to like him though. I just can't get over how quickly his happy hearts drain. I've been giving him snacks because I haven't felt like playing the game so he's rather heavy. The matchmaker is coming for Kevin tomorrow, and I'm hoping I can better my V2 caretaking with the next generation.

Video I got of Kevin doing his ninja thang. (The music in the background was not intentional; I just happened to be listening when he started doing it. Enjoy it.)

Garth became a Togetchi and had a successful stint as a pastry chef. He was fairly low-maintenance and was adorable. His job completely owned Eliot's job at the restaurant. Today I decided I was bored with my V4 and was debating starting up either a V1 or my V5. I played with my V1 a bit today, but I really want to play with the V5, so I'm starting it up tomorrow morning. Hope you all will enjoy my Familitchi log

In addition to these guys, I started up a P1 again. I'm running my blue, pink, and yellow unit and I have a Marutchi named Cedric. My only problem with Cedric is that I keep forgetting that he's there until he beeps at me. The P1 game is incredibly difficult for me, so I've just been feeding him snacks. Let's see how that turns out, shall we?

Sorry my entry isn't longer today, but I hope you enjoy my video of my Gozarutchi.

[DuchessOfTheArctic]

Yesterday, Kevin went dying on me. I slept pretty late so I didn't realise he had gotten sick until it was too late. After he left, I hatched Sally. After her infant stage, she became a Marutchi. I took fairly good care of her yesterday, but I think I fed her too many snacks. This morning, having slept late again, I woke up to her sick and having her hearts completely drained. Uh-oh. I don't want to fall into the same trap I did with Kevin. She also had two poops next to her, so I got her cleaned up and medicated. I fed her and played with her right after. From now on, I'm going to take better care of her, and perhaps pause her during night school.

Today, Cedric became a Kuchitamatchi. And I'm not surprised; with all the snack feeding and neglecting I did, I pretty much knew that was his fate. Like I said earlier, the problem is that I keep forgetting about him; he's kind of the third wheel between my V2 and my V5. But I am going to try and take better care of him as well.

Meet the Bing family. There are two sons and a daughter, with the daughter being the middle child. The oldest is Bruno, who is now an Ahirukotchi, then Betty, a Tororotchi, and Brett is the youngest, a Mousetchi. I'm expecting their teenage forms to come any time now. But until then, let me tell you about their progress. With the exception of this morning having their hearts drained completely (luckily nobody was sick), I've been taking pretty good care, trying not to miss any bonding sessions. Their bonding is at 10%, having had 3 bonding sessions within the past 24 hours. But I don't understand why they still act like complete strangers around each other when I press the C button. I'm trying to do a variety of activities and not always pick the same type, so I'm hoping for the best for these little guys. I'm glad there are five hearts on the Familitchi instead of just four; I would be surely out of luck if that weren't the case.

More on these guys tomorrow, folks.

[Rose]

Ah, the sleeping trap. I, too, have fallen there. It isn't fun. >.<  Perhaps you could try offsetting their clocks a bit so that they'd wake up later? If you change it while they're asleep to a time when they're still asleep it won't affect them.

Good luck with all of your tams, and your V5 especially. Those are generally pretty glitchy, but hopefully yours will be okay.

[DuchessOfTheArctic]

Thanks for the tips, Rose. That's something I may try I did quit school for the summer, so that may make my life easier (I'm going back for fall session, so don't worry, I'm not an adolescent delinquent lol).

Oy. Sorry for the lack of updates. I had an extremely stressful week, but most of my stress is gone so I'm going to try and update more regularly now.

Sally went from Nikatchi to Whaletchi. Oops. I did the same thing to her that I did with Kevin; she got sick once during her adolescence but she didn't turn out TOO bad. Tonight she had a baby boy with a Kusatchi (a relative of Benji's, perhaps?). I have a name picked out for him already, but it's a secret until Sally leaves him in my care. Not much else to report on my V2, and probably not much for tomorrow; the baby will probably get sick tomorrow, as usually happens when the adult is carrying the baby.


Here's Sally, the couch potato.

Cedric the Tarakotchi is no more. I am holding off hatching my P1 again until I can do so at a reasonable hour.

The first generation of Bings made their bonding up to 70% in the end. I don't recall all of their adolescent stages, but Bruno was a Mukugetchi, Betty a Potetchi, and Brett a Hatugatchi. Obviously, the bonding level was not ideal at the time of their adult evolution. They spent a few days bonding until this evening when Bruno decided to make a family with a Yonepatchi. (I have the video but it's not uploaded to YouTube yet, as we are having connection problems over here.) They had triplets, Bertie, Bebe, and Billy. I was in the bathroom at the time so I didn't get to witness it, but Bertie became a Mattaritchi, Bebe a Tororotchi, and Billy an Ahirukotchi. Ahirukotchi is my fave, but I still think I want Bertie to be the one to breed the next generation. Or perhaps Bebe; I've never had the mother be the one to breed before. Today, the kids played with paper airplanes, which was pretty cute to watch. Tomorrow, I think, is going to be an exciting day in the lives of the second generation of Bings.

The Bing Family, at 70% bonding.
