Posted December 10, 2019 I won’t ignore it. I’ll get the synopsis at the end of the day. But I don’t enjoy watching every second. I do agree that it’s all very surreal. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 Good morning everyone! Man our country is in for a down fall. We started with stage 6 of loadshedding. Which means some places are powerless for like 5 hours. My poor mother is in panic about this. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 Morning peeps! @DragonSpirit009 : Oh dear 😧 Is it affecting her? @Evangeline : I dunno what it tastes like. Not trying it Solid food availability will vary and depend on what I find in the bear trap I left in the neighbours back garden. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 FORTUNE! *huggles* Affecting her badly! The power goes off every time when it's her peak baking time. It went off at 12am-2:30am and then again 8:00am - 10:30am. And it will go off at 16:00pm -18:30pm again. Unless it reaches stage 6 loadshedding. Then the times would be longer Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 Well fudge. That is bad. Did you get any warning this was going to happen? Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 We have a schedule now. But the stages change so fast that we can't keep up. First they say stage 2 then an hour later we are on stage 4, then a few hours later it's stage 2 again. And then out of nowhere we hit stage 6 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 I get confused about what's happening in my own country. I don't think I could cope with SA too lol. Hey Swift! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 Hey Fort and spirit and whoever else is hanging around here *waves* *shivers* Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 I'm not even sure if I know what's going on here to Fortune Hi there Swift Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 That sounds even worse thsn us, Spirit. We never getva schedule for the load shedding but at least we know when it goes off it's generally for three hours. Except the one a week ago that was a transmission fault and everyone was out for five hours. And generators failed at Atlantis during a big event there. They were not happy!

Posted December 10, 2019 LAGIE! *huggles* Do you know why we are having loadshedding.... Because the coal is wet 😒 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 Spirit! *huggles back* Wet... coal? Isn't that dangerous? We loadshed because we don't have enough bunker C fueled generators to produce the amount of electricity needed on our island. We are 21 x 7 miles and have around 400,000 people, and two megahotel complexes. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 Yeah part of our electricity is produced by burning coal... or something like that. Our nuclear power plant is kinda heading backwards so they are trying other stuff while building more power stations. But that is taking like 10 years Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) @Evangeline - yeah, i don't watch every second either, but i do get emails from a few good places to tell me what's going on. it's weirdly warm today, supposed to be in the 60sF today, which is not normal december weather.... edit, 2 hours later.... i got my first ever dragon just before midnight on December 9th, so today is my DC'versary! this was my first ever~ Edited December 10, 2019 by trystan Share this post Link to post

My first four didn't make it, sadly, as I knew nothing about hatcheries. Lady Tamath - https://dragcave.net/view/78Fl - was my first survivor. (th at the end thanks to Anne McCaffrey's influence, though I did not stick with that!) ^ or so says my scroll. I think Lady White was my first AP grab, but her laid date is two days later - https://dragcave.net/view/EK5c. I joined the forum between the two batches. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 11, 2019 thanks Lagie! yeah, my forum join date was on the 11th, to probably help me get a clue what to do Share this post Link to post
Posted December 11, 2019 @trystan That impeachment be looking like it’s progressing. Let chaos reign. @Fortune86 What’s for dinner today? I’m gonna start making on these nets. @DragonSpirit009 ...I... I guess coal is better than nuclear power?? Share this post Link to post
