This place just means too much to me to just give up on it, so heres to hoping I can get my priorities straight and maybe find a way to keep my tamas going without subjecting them to neglect, and maybe get an even longer streak going of keeping this log up to date.  Until next time!

Cheers! Here's to participation!

I guess now I'll give a quick, and small, update to my logs. Hopefully they will continue to get longer until I'm back into having my normal 2-4 tamas going and have more to post each time.

As of right now I only have my globe design V4.5 going, and I've had to pause her every once in awhile. The last time I posted(an actual log) I had Helen and her baby on this particular tama. Well, Helen is gone but Tsukkomitchi is still here. I named Helen's baby Abby and she changed into the same thing her mother was, a Tsukkomitchi. 

The matchmaker should come for her either tomorrow or Monday, so I'll try and post again then. Also, I probably won't start up another tama until I receive my FamiTama, which will hopefully be sometime in the next several days. Until next time!



And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

Well the matchmaker did end up coming for Abby, after I changed the time around a bit  , but she brought her a Yasaguretchi and they had two baby boys together.
They enjoyed two days together and Abby left last night around midnight, and I decided to name her son Fuso. Yeah, I'm running out of names. 
I have him sitting in front if me right now and he is still in his babitchi stage, I just named him so he won't change for about an hour. 

Now on to my FamiTama-

I've already stated about a hundred times that I now have my FamiTama (I'm probably starting to annoy the ones who don't  ) so I've already talked about it several times. I even have another tama blog going on another site, so now I'll be writing two different logs about the same exact tamas, but I don't wanna just write one and copy+paste it on each website so I'll be trying to make each one different. 

Ok, I walked out to the mailbox yesterday and, surprisingly, a large box had been shoved inside of it, scrunching the rest of the mail up against the back. I started tearing at the tape, amazed that my FamiTama had arrived, and right as I got to the front door I finally got to the bubble wrap that was protecting my tama from the dangers of traveling so far.
Pulling it out I immediately began to examine it, soaking in every last detail, wondering how long I was going to be able to wait to hatch it. And I would say I waited quite long, about four hours later I was able to talk to Elana and find out how to spell "Fry" on the tama.
I asked her about three names in case I had to name them all, but apparently the tamas are already named.
After I pulled the tab and set the time/date and what not, I was then presented with three interesting looking tama eggs.
For the minutes the eggs remained intact, I pondered what the babies would look like, what would my first FamiTama characters be? Well I would soon know, the middle age hatched first, followed by the one on the right and one on my left.
For a moment they just stood there, me looking at them in amazement, them looking at me in curiosity. Then the tama fun started, the attention tune sounded, their way of saying "We're hungry! And we wanna play!" so I happily obliged.

I fed them a rather large piece of bread, which they all gobbled up, each trying to out to the others bites.  I guess since there are now three tamas they are trained to eat quickly unless they don't want to get their fill.
After their FIVE hungry hearts were filled, I went on to explore the games, and, because I was trying to learn about the two that were available to play, it took my longer than usually to get all their happy hearts filled.

Here is my take on the games as I posted in the "FamiTama Info" thread:

There is five games listed total, two are available when they're babies/toddlers.
The first is a game with a big t.v that your tama is watching. In the far upper right corner there is an image of a random tama characters.
The t.v will then change to random characters and you have to hit 'b' when the t.v matches the image in the upper right corner. It gets faster as it goes.
(For those of you who may be wondering, it takes 3 right to get 1 heart filled, which takes about 20 seconds to do. I'm not sure what the perfect score is as I've only gotten to 8 before losing Sad )

The next one I haven't figured out yet. It features a table with some sort of food in the middle and two cups, one on the right on on the left. Apparently you have to select one of those cups and your tama proceeds to pour tea into it. How you win I don't know, I'm haven't figured out which cup is the right one to choose.

(I will continue to add any info I learn about them in my logs.)

I just stared at the FamiTama for most of their baby lives, I was simply fascinated by them. I guess nearly three months of waiting has that kind of effect on you. 

As I was doing some stuff on TSS, I heard that ever familiar and sweet tune. I looked down to see my FamiTama changing, and all at once they did! I was so happy and so I now have my three first toddlers on it.

And that was pretty much how my day went, I will post some pictures of my FamiTama below later, until next time!

Quick warning: There will be some info on the FamiTama as well as pictures in this log and the several that follow it, so as I've said several times, if you don't want to see/know anything about it, stop reading after I'm done talking about my v4.5.
I feel bad saying that, but I want to make sure that anyone who wants to discover everything on there own gets to. With that in mind, lets start logging!

I never did mention that Fuso eventually became a Hitodetchi soon after I posted my last log, but he changed again earlier this morning into a Crackertchi! First time I've had this character and I must say he has one of the funniest close-up animations I've seen on a tama. 
I'll try and get a picture up before he changes.
Another thing I would like to mention about him is the bad luck he had when he was a Hitodetchi. Only one time when the mail came did he ever get anything good, the rest were always poop/snakes. It got to the point where I didn't even want to check his mail. Thankfully, as soon as he became a Crackertchi he got a heart in the mail(geez that sounds weird) so hopefully the flow of poop and snakes will stop.
I've been slacking with him because I've been busying studying for the ACT again, I think I'll pay more attention to him after I'm finished taking the test this Saturday.

Now onto my FamiTama!

Quick condolences to those who STILL haven't gotten their's yet, I hope you guys are still reading. 

I've gathered a few more pieces of information about the FamiTama and I will be posting it here, as well as gathering to maybe make some sort of guide.
One thing I've discovered with the FamiTama is that, five times throughout the day, at the following times: 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, the FamiTama calls for attention. During this call, your tama will have either a musical note or a question mark above their head, and the face/talk bubble icon will be lit up. When you select that icon, three items come up. For the musical note, it's always musical instruments. Such as: drums, he triangle, moroccos, and a few others I've forgotten. When it's a question mark, some of these things come up: cards, paper, building blocks(I think), and crayons.
When you select any of these, your tamas use/play with them. What this does I'm not 100% sure about but I have a idea that I will discuss in a minute.
Other then this event, they don't call for attention very much, if at all. The V4.5 calls for some sort of attention a significant amount more than this one does. But remember one thing, I'm only up to the toddler stage so far so all of this may very well change.

Now, onto what I think the events I mentioned may be related to.
On the second screen there is two Japanese words/phrases and a percentage number. Until now I had no real idea of what it meant but I have a decent idea now. After a crappy translation and reading a few things online, I think on of the words on this screen may have something to do with "bonding". So the percentage number may have something to do with how well/much the tamas are bonding with you or with eachother.
Now the second phrase I couldn't translate very well, but I read on another site that it may have to do with your type of family, like the characters that make it up.

So, I'm not sure but I believe this percentage number changes after several of the events I mentioned occur. Every time I've noticed thats it's changed it has been after one of the events. Mine has gone from 0% to 30% so far.
If anyone on here knows otherwise please let me know, I can't speak Japanese AT ALL so most of this is just my assumptions.

Other than that not much has hap-...hold on.....SWEET! Just now as I was typing this log my FamiTama changed, I know officially have my first ever FamiTama teenagers! *cradles FamiTama and observes the creatures jumping around inside it* Such cute tamagotchis! I'll definitely be getting some pictures up of these little guys soon.

So, with that I will end this log with a few pictures of my FamiTama(this was prior to them changing into teens) Enjoy, and see you next time!

Two big things have happened since I last logged, my V4.5 and FamiTama both reached adulthood! I didn't even hear my V4.5 change, I just reached inside my pocket and realized Fuso had changed into a Ura Mametchi! I had turned the sound off of him for some reason and had forgotten to turn it back on.
Fuso has been a little neglected for some of his life but I hope now I am able to take better care of him, I never like to neglect any tama unless I am aiming for a certain character that requires neglect, and even then I feel bad about it. I've compiled almost 90,000GP on my V4.5 and I think I might spend a little on Fuso, to make up for the many games I should have played with him but didn't. I'm not trying to buy his love, I just think he's earned it for putting up with me. 

And, as I was watching a Christmas movie with my father and one of my brothers, my first ever FamiTama adults decided to grace me with their presence, sounding the tune to alert me of it. I pulled them out of my pocket and stared down into three very cute faces, one that reminded my of one of those Mii faces you can make on the Wii.
Not much has happened with them, as I've said the FamiTama is a pretty casual tama, but when I press the 'c' button they now give eachother a kiss and three hearts appear above that then converge into one big one.
Their bonding percentage has gone up to 70% and should be up to 80% but days end.

One thing that annoys me about the FamiTama is the amount of GPs you win for beating games. Since there is no weight monitor on this tama, you can play the games as many times as you want without having to feed them snacks. So I guess because of that Bandai decided to make the amount of GP you earn each game considerably less.
But I still enjoy the FamiTama, I'm sure there are still several more surprises in store for me and the rest of you that have FamiTamas.

Thats all for now, heres some pictures I recently took. Later!

I don't get it... how come I've been playing with them every time they get an event, and both my families have bonding percentages of 0%... What a conundrum

It took more than one event for mine to go up just 10%, it seems like it took two of those events for it to move up but I think sometimes it was even more than that. How many times has the event happened on your FamiTama so far?

[acidiica]

Upwards of ten. Mine are teens already. How odd.

By the way, I'm trying to compile a list to make into a growth chart of some sort for the famitama. Do you have any recollection of precisely what toddler turned into what teen (3) and exactly what teen turned into what adult for yours?

Yeah, I've taken pictures of every character I've had so far so I can give you all the information you need in that department.

Awesome. If you can, please send the respective evolutions of them to me?
Ex: Female Tororotchi -> Female Shelutchi
...or however you feel is organized.

And I just made 10%! I think since you get a choice of three at the time of their calling, you have to choose the right one, which would mean you have a ¹/₃ chance of raising their bonding... Take THAT Tama-zone! XD
