Tell us about yourself and your game!

Hi y‘all,

Tell me about yourselves! I’ve been curious about my mentors for a while, but am now intrigued because I think it was a recent post where @Abhi, our hero video maker, stated she is in China?! So anyone who likes is happily encouraged to answer these questions about their games! My answers in parentheses. @Abhi, @Happy-Haze , @gamemaster, @MadameCurie and everyone else...

What level are you? (211)
Where are you in the game? (Scandinavia)
When did you start? (Aug 2020)
What are your camp parameters? (Playtime 12247 energy, 49116 capacity; overnight 11115 energy, 57193 capacity)
What is your smallest camp equipment? (Energy 102, capacity 710)
What is your largest camp equipment? Other than the 300 energy Diggy statue we got at level 200: Energy 154 Mopey from Snow White; capacity 1400 (x2) violet shield ExCalibur)
What is your main game strategy? (Pausing most main game play to build up camp by doing 100-gem older stories multiple times for the best camp equipment- which I learned from you all)
What tips or hacks do you have for other players? (I‘ll add mine later if they aren’t covered)
How else is Diggy in your life? (Just the here in the forum, and in my private life as a constant topic plus I wrote a song for him 😁😁
What do you love most about the game? (The devs; their personalities (someone has pet rats; someone plays a red electric guitar; someone loves anthropology, archaeology, and ancient weapons; someone loves little dogs) and sense of humor (kind of deadpan but always goofy everywhere; sacrilegious such as the Titanic on Valentine’s Day or assault rifles in the schools; private jokes we share in such as the same characters showing up in different stories or fish from the toilets), social and literary references (from Parry Hotter to Sherlock Homeless to quotes from Shakespeare to quotes from movies)..... the player participation and respect we get such as asking for ideas... and the nonvulture capitalistic model where the money we give is because the game is awesome and not because they trick us; the game is delightful without money, which is why I am happy to pay; and all of the things in my first part of this answer are not each developed to make money but are just fun for the devs and us).
Have you written a review? (I have been planning to write a rave review; I would love to write a real review for the media somewhere)
What would you change about the game? (I want them to please let me edit their English! For gems or for free (it‘s my occupation)).
And of course, who are you? Where are you from yourself; if you have an occupation or life focus, what is if/are they; what other games do,you play; what are your hobbies; what does Diggy add to your life (Natasha from Connecticut USA; linguist, English and EFl teacher, and editor/writer by trade; disabled now with a TBI; have rats and mice and ran the largest small pet group in the world before Facebook destroyed it; love swimming and traveling; have spent many years in Europe, where I developed my love for games (Catan) and more alcohol than many Americans; also play games to keep my mind in shape such as card games, logic puzzles, pictographs, Match 3 games such as Gardenscapes and Clockmaker, and Mystery Hidden Object games; used to write manuals for Pocket Frogs and started a Facebook group for the Story games; about to get married at age 52 for the first time; Diggy is a great escape and I play to escape the pain of my head injury or when my brain is off and I can’t do much else- which is why I ask dumb questions here!)

So here‘s my Diggy song. Remember Tony Basil’s 80s hit ‚Hey Mickey?‘ :

Oh Diggy, it’s a pity you don’t understand
You can’t get there from here, even though it seems you can
Oh Diggy, what a pity, do you have plan
For times like these, Diggy?
What will you do, Diggy, do, Diggy,
How will you get there?

(The original words are

Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand?
It's guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey)

Hugs and Happy Digging!

Love the song and can't get the original out of my head now! ☺

Well, that's quite a lot of questions all at one go. I suspect that one of the reasons that you aren't getting replies is that the list is too daunting.

I'll give you a shortened answer. I have two Diggy accounts.
Terra Diggy is level 492 (hope too be level 500 by the end of the builder event that I hope is coming soon). He just moved from New World to Terra to take advantage of the Terra equipment in the next builder event and materials from that and double materials week. Daytime 42,420 regen, 86,350 cap; Nighttime 28,620 regen, 228,789 cap. Those may seem like a lot to players in early regions, but it has been just enough to finish New World events in around 9 or 10 days. I dawdled in NW getting my camp as good as possible and hoping that they would release more Terra equipment but decided to move on because NW event equip was providing trivial or no improvement to my camp.

Egypt Diggy (level 217, started last fall) will never leave Egypt. When Terra Diggy is slogging through Challenge mines barely making progress, I can zip through new events with Egypt Diggy and have a more satisfying amount of play time. Egypt Diggy plays old events to get better camp equipment - mostly 100-gem but also Christmas 2015 which has good equipment and returns a lot of the 500 gems. He's now gotten all the Christmas 2015 equipment he wanted so probably won't play that anymore. Daytime regen 13,901, capacity 26,700; Nighttime regen 7,747, capacity 62,331.

Egypt Diggy has 5 reindeer ornaments from Christmas 2015 - one slot of 155 regen each and 3 sets of Sherlock's Tea Pots from Detective Stories II - 3 slots of 154 regen per slot. He still has about one row of regen equipment that's less than 100 per slot in the daytime camp - he aims to replace those with pieces better than 100 per slot. Violet shields from Excalibur ate his best capacity item too. He also has a full set of Large Mustache Displays (Detective Stories II) and Evil Queen paintings (Snow White) and is working on completing his set of Green Rabbit shields (Excalibur).

I notice that your day camp and night camp aren't much different - day is set for about 4 hours and night for about 5 and a half hours.

I had to make a list as there were just so many things to answer! Here are a few.
I am level 445 and just made the move into Greece. I believe that I started playing sometime in 2016 or 2017...hard to remember! I need to finish 4 more mines in Greece which will open up the repeatable mines so I can make some Greek food.
My daytime regen is 25,947 with 89,951 capacity and nighttime regen is 17,154 with 173,079 capacity.
My lowest daytime regen equipment is 210 and capacity is 2170 while my lowest nighttime regen equipment is 220 and capacity is 1930. The highest in both day and night are 500 regen and 3500 capacity.
I'm also in the US...live in Tucson, Arizona after growing up and living in Seattle most of my life. After I retired as a RN my husband and I made the move to escape the rain in the Pacific Northwest. I like to golf, make quilts, go for walks, garden, swim and play Diggy! I am a new grandma to a 8 month old granddaughter that lives in the Seattle area and wish I could spend more time with her. Congrats on your upcoming wedding! 🌞🌵

I realized I went way overboard with those questions 😂😂. Thinking of putting them on a thread in FB.

When I saw that thread, this is exactly what I thought: Facebook fits much better.
