[ID: the first three screenshots are a series of tweets from @\nzekiev on twitter. They say:

"In the train stations here in Kyiv, children first, women second, white men third, then the remaining is occupied by Africans. This means that we have waited for many hours for trains here & couldn’t enter because of this. Majority of Africans are still waiting to get to Lviv." (Feb 25)

"We had to start shouting and pushing African women to the train, so they had no other option than to allow them since they said women and children first. It wasn’t the case earlier." (Feb 26)

"You know the funniest part? We all knew that we will be the last to enter, so we always wait until they’re satisfied with boarding their people. Then the remaining small space, we Africans rush in like wild animals and pile up like luggages. 8-9hrs journey." (Feb 26)

Then, there is a screenshot of a tweet by @\stephhegarty. It says:

"A Nigerian medical student at Poland/Ukraine border (Medyka-Shehyni) told me she has been waiting 7hrs to cross, she says border guards are stopping black people and sending them to the back of the queue, saying they have to let 'Ukrainians' through first." (Feb 26)

Another tweet by @\nzekiev has a video attached of the described events, and it reads:

"Watch how they are threatening to shoot us! We are currently at the Ukraine -Poland border. Their Police and Army refused to let Africans cross they only allow Ukrainian. Some have slept here for 2 days under this scorching cold weather, while many have gone back to Lviv." (Feb 27)

There are then screenshots of a couple of tweets by @\Damilare_arah. They also have videos attached that show the described events. They say:

"‘We are students’ ‘we don’t have arms’ protests from young people being held up at gunpoint early in the morning at The Ukraine -Poland border. #AfricansinUkraine No sleep for days for some Still trying to leave" (Feb 27)

"The official visuals of Ukrainians blocking Africans from getting on trains. #AfricansinUkraine" (Feb 26)

There are then a series of tweets by @\korrinesky that say:

"If there are any resources or help that can be offered to African students trying to leave Ukraine, please can you message me so I can formulate a thread or some information for my colleagues here, so we can help them." (Feb 24)

"African and Caribbean students who are in Lviv and Everyone in Lviv who is able to help people find accommodation please join this chat." (Feb 26) [This is the link of the tweet. Clicking on the telegram attachment will lead to the chat]

A screenshot of a tweet by @\yodifiji says:

"For ALL Africans stranded in Ukraine 🇺🇦 I have these contacts for you at Poland BORDER with buses. CALL THEM. *Hrebenne-Rawa Ruska* 1. Szkoła Podstawowa w Lubyczy Królewskiej (zaplecze hali sportowej) ul. Jana III Sobieskiego 5, 22-680 Lubycza Królewska *Phone:* +48-729275316" [Feb 26]

A thread by @\ChyLady reads:

Another tweet by @\ChyLady reads:

This the link to the thread.

There is then a screenshot of an official document. It is titled "PUBLIC NOTICE FROM THE NIGERIAN EMBASSY IN POLAND" from "Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja". It reads:

Lastly, there is a tweet by @\opiumhum, which says:

"There's a huge information gap most essential information is currently not reaching Black people and POC trying to escape Ukraine. This is a huge document with a lot of essential information and has been already updated with infos for #NigeriansInUkraine" (26 Feb)

The document tagged is the same one linked at the end of the post.

/end ID]

(1) Hello everyone. I'm from Ukraine. Please help spread the information about African and Nigerian students in Ukraine. #AfricansinUkraine

I read from @ nzekiev on twitter that the day before yesterday it was very hard for Africans to get on any train in Kyiv, they were letting them in the last, many managed to get in only coz they started pushing African women into the train so they had to allow everyone in. Before that if they managed to get on the train they were sent back outside with the phrase "Ukrainians first", but nobody was checking anyone's passports.

Today, February 27, he says the Ukrainian soldiers at the Polish border were holding them at gunpoint if they crossed the border before Ukrainians. These are students, they can't be fighting this war!!! Other people of color share on twitter that it's harder for them to cross the border, a Nigerian medical student told @ stephheharty they were told Ukrainians go first and were sent to the back of the queue by Ukrainian soldiers on Polish border.

@ Damilare_arah shared a video where Ukrainian soldiers block Africans from getting on trains. (https://twitter.com/Damilare_arah/status/1497654141350522880?t=rkNx-B9TffKopCRtfgZodA&s=19)

I can't figure out how to download videos from Twitter so I'm attaching screenshots. (https://twitter.com/Damilare_arah/status/1497855205098106880?t=gi_dUgx8nFI36KqlH-CeEA&s=19) (https://twitter.com/nzekiev/status/1497805019311218689?t=hz-3gS0hFxwAZQddLZI85w&s=19)

We must help. They can't be denied shelter while every other white Ukrainian gets to cross the border right before their eyes. @ chylady and @ Damilare_arah share all the important information for Africans and Nigerians on where to find help and also donations.

@ korrinesky is actively sharing all the information. This thread increases to this day and time https://twitter.com/korrinesky/status/1496770898019303427?t=oheEMMWK2KecFzPFWb05iA&s=19

They also have a Telegram chat for African and Caribbean students who are in Lviv but I can't seem to be able to copy the link directly so I'm sending the link to the tweet: https://twitter.com/korrinesky/status/1497661192038453251?t=1bzZxfWvu-zf-zQhFk4BMw&s=19

Use the hashtag #AfricansinUkraine and mentions @UN @RedCross @UNESCO @wateraid @amnesty @gatesfoundation @FordFoundation @ActionAid @Oxfam on twitter.

Podcast Challenge 6/4/18

When I said I got home and collapsed and only wanted to listen to podcasts I wasn’t kidding between this morning, my commute, and me getting home this evening to do NOTHING I listened to HOURS AND HOURS of podcast today

Trying something new today-- here’s a list of podcasts that I’m listening to. Bolded ones are ones that I listened to episodes of today, while those with the strikethrough are the ones that I’m caught up with (and so I’m waiting for the next episode).

I apologize, when the post gets this long I’d normally put it under the cut, but readmores are still glitching -_- No one reblogs these, though, so at least you only have to scroll past it once

Podcast: The Thrilling Adventure Hour

Episode: #49.1: “Filibuster”: A word from WorkJuice Coffee

Time: 4 min, 9% of goal

Commentary:

“Keep this country great” oh boy that phrase has never been a good thing but these days it triggers my fight-or-flight response

Episode: #49.2: “Dressing Room”: A word from WorkJuice Coffee

Time: 2 min, 4% of goal

Commentary:

An abundance of flowers in a dressing room give me flashbacks

Episode: #50: Tales from the Black Lagoon, “The Search for Marnie Bennett” part 3

Time: 13 min, 29% of goal

Commentary:

Awwww Ben came back!!!

Episode: #51: Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars, “A Mind is a Terrible Thing... In Space!”

Time: 23 min, 51% of goal

Commentary:

I’m really falling in love with Croach and Nevada’s relationship. I don’t think I’m ready to fully articulate WHY it’s so good but there’s always something so compelling about people who are wildly different from one each other and don’t even particularly like each other but also would die for each other... even if they would never admit that.

Also I feel like we got a lot of foreshadowing and hints at backstory this episode???? I don’t really know how much things are going to be used in continuity - like the robot fists being a gift COULD mean something important in the future, or maybe it was just a throwaway joke, and “King of Mars” is either SUPER important or Nevada just pulling something out of his ass. But the Red Plains Rider backstory was new!!!! (I think.) Human raised by Martians? That’s so cool, and explains a lot about her character and her connection with Croach. I’m really hoping we get more about her backstory in the future.

Episode: #52: “Christmas on Mars”

Time: 1hr 28 min, 196% of goal

Commentary:

"Christmas, the most important of all human organs”

Oh my god it’s podcastception I love it. Does this mean Beyond Belief is just ghost stories on Mars?

There are parts of this episode that are perhaps, uh, shall we say playfully offensive, but I have to say the line “He took a pistachio in the war” is so much funnier than it has any right to be

Episode: #53: Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars, “War of the World”

Time: 23 min, 51% of goal

Commentary:

She’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Rebecca Rose Rushmore is a hilarious character I hope she sticks around. Also I love that Croach’s wingman-ing was clearly him TRYING to be exceptionally considerate by trying to get Nevada laid by the best human woman he knows but so misguided lol

Podcast: Alice Isn’t Dead

Episode: (2) Mérida, Yucatán

Time: 4 min, 9% of goal

Commentary:

HOLY SHIT ALICE. Are we actually getting Alice talking in this season???? Are we getting more characters recording???? Are we going to hear from Sylvia in the third preview??

Podcast: The Flop House

Episode: Movie Minute #15 - Horn-nutz!

Time: 11 min, 24% of goal

Commentary:

This episode made me feel like I had bees crawling on me

Episode: #26 - 88 Minutes

Time: 49 min, 109% of goal

Commentary:

“We are recording this the morning after Obama was elected president” 1. Oh my GOD this episode is from a long time ago 2. That sound in the distance is me sobbing

Al Pacino where did you go so wrong

Episode: Movie Minute #16 - Missed Connections

Time: 4 min, 9% of goal

Commentary:

ie, the millennial version of all those “killers on the phone” horror films because none of us answer the phone ever

Podcast: The Bright Sessions

Episode: S1E1: Patient #12-D-10 (Sam)

Time: 13 min, 29% of goal

Commentary:

Hmmmmm intriguing. A different take on time travel, one that eliminates most of the usual problems with paradoxes.

Also I love the cover art???

Episode: S1E2: Patient #11-A-7 (Caleb)

Time: 17 min, 38% of goal

Commentary:

I highkey do NOT agree that the witches took Macbeth’s free will, most interpretations are that he is manipulated into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Otherwise the story loses much of its interest. Also are you kidding I love Lady Macbeth.

I love this character though, I love the idea of a teenage boy, which can be such an emotionally repressed demographic, as an empath. That’s such a cool subversion.

Episode: S1E3: Patient #13-A-3 (Chloe)

Time: 14 min, 31% of goal

Commentary:

I like Chloe she’s so bubbly!! Also though “If properly trained, she could be one of my most promising subjects” is... a TAD ominous. Promising for... WHAT, exactly?

Episode: S1E4: Patient #12-D-10 (Sam)

Time: 17 min, 38% of goal

Commentary:

WHO IS MARK

WHAT KIND OF ASSET. WHY DO YOU NEED ASSETS

WHY SO INSISTENT THAT SHE CAN’T TELL ****ANYONE****

I’M NOT SURE I TRUST YOU DR. BRIGHT

Episode: S1E5: Patient #11-A-7 (Caleb)

Time: 19 min, 42% of goal

Commentary:

So like Caleb and Adam are definitely gay and become boyfriends later right

Also oooooooh hints at backstory, Caleb is in therapy because he got overwhelmed with anger and hit somebody. I don’t know if this podcast would do this yet, but I’m hoping maybe for a flashback episode where we get his first session? It’s an interesting choice to have both Sam and Chloe be just starting but start Caleb at Session 9

Episode: S1E6: Patient #13-A-3 (Chloe)

Time: 14 min, 31% of goal

Commentary:

1. Chloe is going to get herself in trouble

2. I’m not sure that Bright should be ENCOURAGING Chloe to get better at voluntarily READING MINDS, that’s... a pretty extreme invasion of people’s privacy

3. Soooooooo who’s Damien hmmmmm

Podcast: Can I Pet Your Dog?

Episode: 2: Corgi Beach Day

Time: 35 min, 78% of goal

Commentary:

“We all made it back for episode 2!”

Travis: “Well it’s my house”

One of my dad’s old friends has a dog who “had a career change” after they didn’t make the cut as a guide dog, but the dog still occasionally does guide-doggy stuff. So like for instance, if she’s out running and drifts too close to the curb, the dog will bump her side to push her back onto the sidewalk

Podcast: Wonderful!

Episode: 4: Good As Hell

Time: 50 min, 111% of goal

Commentary:

Yessssssssss The Good Place is so good. It was actually a tweet Justin made about it that convinced me to check it out, I’m really glad Griffin likes it too

Rachel the 20-minute power nap skeptic should meet my mom, she doesn’t even need the 20 minutes. Her power naps are 2 minutes long and she gets up from them more awake than I am after eight hours of sleep

Podcast: My Brother, My Brother, and Me

Episode: 122: In Your Tarzan Boy

Time: 1hr 6 min, 147% of goal

Commentary:

Okay that girl legit has a stalker and I really really hope she did something like call the actual police about this problem and didn’t just write into a comedy podcast because YIKES

Who wants to go to work for me tomorrow?

I just wanna go home today and take a nap (it'll be 6pm by the time I get home, but I am sleepy) and then wake up at like 8pm and lay in bed until 3am watching tiktok and playing games on my phone. Maybe watch Dr Strange (since I haven't yet shh) or some Gen Kill.

But instead I can't go to bed until like 730 at the earliest because I have to get up at 630am tomorrow for a 12hr shift. And I just... I'm tired and don't wanna do that.

Also, today is Day One of a four-day thing. Monday is 4pm to midnight though, so at least I can sleep in that day and don't have to worry about a bedtime after work tomorrow.

I'm just used to having a min of a 3 day off recovery period and for the last month I've only gotten that once. And it's starting to wear on me. Cos Day One is always a sleep recovery day, Day Two becomes errands and such, Day Three is either Rest Before Work OR Whatever (if there's a day Four then it's a whatever day and day four is the rest before work).

And on all my days off this month I've had other obligations like Dr appointments and errands and crap with getting my car fixed and driving my grandma places etc. So its all wearing on me lately.

Maybe my schedule will go back to normal next week. Baby Sheep is supposed to be coming home next Tuesday which means my Regularly Scheduled Programing would return but her return has been delayed an entire month past her original Coming Home date, and it's not the first time she's had to be gone this long. It's actually the second time since March. So she's not a stable case. Which sucks and is also frustrating for me in terms of never being 100% sure what my schedule is or if I even have work (like how in April she was supposed to come home and didn't so I had a grand total of 7hrs the entire month and she was supposed to come back the end of April which turned into Mid May which turned into Late April which turned into First Week of June) so as you can see I am skeptical. But because it's a holiday weekend, if she is delayed, I won't know until the Day Of Expected Return.

Anyway this was supposed to be a post about how tired I am and how I don't wanna go to work tomorrow lol bye

OH, TO DREAM THIS ALL OFF

sunday evening, far too soon for bed but yet too late to do any more studying for tomorrow’s [hopefully] last exam of my second degree. guess it would be a good time to introduce myself here, but in fact i don’t know what to say except for being Felice and twenty-something. furthermore, something in me suggests i’d never felt as lonely as today, this weekend, all through the last days back to tuesday morning when something inside me slightly slipped and broke into many spiky pieces of ice cold glass. to be honest, i don’t even know if this certain incident that i remember as strongly as if it would’ve been something not very subtle (even though, in fact, it was) can actually be the source of such a depressed state of mind. it’s just that not really much else has happened to me ever since, there were only nice people doing and telling nice things, and already this very fact should have lifted me up in no time. but for some reason, it just didn’t. ever since the morning of this last of june - the moment i managed to sleep through 7hrs for the first time since march - , there’s been some dark cloud hanging over me, and with this beatles reference, i can’t help but think of her again. of what she didn’t mean to do to me, but did nevertheless, even though i know it was neither on purpose nor exactly where i’d wanted to go myself in the first place, but... just but. there are so many buts in this matter, almost as many as question marks and things that probably anybody would find weirdly odd and a reason for further inquiries - only not her, which made them even stranger. i know that basically, nobody will understand anything anymore at this point, so just for illustrative purposes: imagine someone coming into your life, maybe through work, you get along with each other pretty and they seem to be really nice. nothing but purely platonic liking involved. and sometimes, their words and actions are so much on point that you can hardly describe it, it’s like a reflection of your most inner thoughts. but that’s also not really a weird thing, is it? like, some people are just more similar to each other than others. but then, one they, you casually notice that several years ago, when you had no clue about that person’s existence, you’ve written a really long piece of writing - and in it, there were the names of their most significant family members. when learning about that as well, this person seems really astonished at first (just as you yourself are), but then ask you to fetch something - and when you come back, they almost urge you to view it as a completely normal piece of information. just as they do with a bunch of other strange incidents, starting with some mysterious handwriting. and you actually just wanna have any clue about what is going on or at least get to know them better, but they just refuse you any further insights into any personal stuff. and so you start feeling quite offended, as you’ve already cried in front of them which takes you a lot of trust, and just a few weeks ago, they actually asked you about a lot about private things you hadn’t told anyone for ages. seems like a paul auster novel, right? the thing is just that for me, it isn’t only a book that i can close at any given point of time. but i need to get on with my life. my legs have started itching again from some strange allergy i still haven’t identified, maybe against tomorrow’s exam, i could really understand it. wish me the best of luck for it.

🛌"Does sleep affect weight loss?" - 🛌This is an ongoing battle I've been fighting which I've only really put my foot down to fight recently. - 🛌I'm one of those that wishes there was more time in a day so I could do more. If I could be super healthy and alert at all times I wouldn't sleep at all. Unfortunately that would probably mean I wasn't human as well. - 🛌Lack of sleep has actually messed with my diet a lot. A lot of times I turn to snacking in order to stay awake. I've found that if I continuously munch on something it buy some awake time. Very sloppy, tired awake time, but awake time nonetheless. Before I started intermittent fasting I snacked a lot past midnight. This was during the first 100 episodes of the vlog where I was still new to making videos and each video was taking me 6-7hrs daily. - 🛌Where did I get so much time in a day? By sacrificing sleep. Those days I was sleeping 3-4hrs daily. No naps too. - 🛌Yep. Not recommended. - 🛌Studies have shown that while sleep doesn't affect much of total weight lost (calorie deficit still matters most) it does affect the ratio of fat & muscle loss. 5.5hrs or less a day showed more muscle loss & less fat loss, while 8.5hrs showed an equal amount of fat & muscle lost. - 🛌Another study also showed that lack of sleep could affect hunger signals for some such as an increase of appetite as well as simply having more opportunity to eat in a day cos of being awake longer. - 🛌Personally I like to think of the triangle of health to be sleep, exercise, food. It’s funny how much emphasis we put in exercise & food and always seem to sacrifice sleep first. I’m guilty of it, super super guilty, but that’s something I’d like to change as soon as possible too. - 🛌These days I’m aiming for a bare bare minimum of 7hrs per night, aiming for 8hrs when possible. It does mean I have less time to relax, make videos or write posts, but it also means in the long run I’ll be in a much much better condition than upkeeping with 5-6hrs of sleep daily. - 🛌How much sleep do you get on average? Have you found it affects the way you eat? https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lQjkCnVZk/?igshid=b5cep7w8yn7b

Desktop wallpaper days at Kashmir great lakes trek

Our excitement of many months to trek the beautiful Kashmir great lakes commenced on July 8th, 2017. Me, my best friend and my lovely cousin: we three girls from Bangalore, Karnataka had this unwavering thrust to accomplish this High-altitude Himalayan trek.

Day 1: Srinagar to Sonmarg (9,000ft) (approx. 80km/3 hrs drive)

We landed in Srinagar Defence airport where photography is prohibited and internet was not working. Only BSNL and Airtel post-paid network works in Srinagar. Informed our family about our safe landing and got into the local taxi booked by Renok Adventures. We wondered how the roads were empty and Indian Army men with weapons were on either side of the road at every 10 feet distance. Later we realised that there was a curfew in the Srinagar city and tourists could travel only during the night. We met our other five batchmates and headed towards Sonmarg but was denied twice by the Army officers to cross, as there was unrest in the outskirts of the city too. Our taxi driver was giving us hopes and told not to worry you all will be safe. We roamed around in the garden till evening and ate lip smacking Dum-aloo roti, Dal rice in a restaurant after the long exhausting wait. Later left in the night around 11 pm and we were scared as we would be sent back or even attacked by anti-nationalists but fortunately crossed 3 Army check-posts to reach Guest house at 1 am and slept peacefully.

Day 2: Sonmarg (9,000ft) to Nichnai (12,000ft) (11km trek/6 hrs)

Morning woke up to see the mountain ranges and gushing flow of Sindh river. Hot teas and hot Paranthas made me forget all the nightmares of the previous night. We started trekking and very soon I felt terrible congestion and couldn’t walk further. I relaxed a bit and slowly steadily picked up my pace with the help of my friends and our guide. The beautiful sonmarg lush green valley, tall trees helped me ascend happily. Temperature was 15°-20° C during the day. We passed Army check post where our Id’s were checked and we moved on to reach the table top (shekdur) around 12 pm and relaxed. We even had this famous drink Kashmiri kahwa in the Dhaba which helped us regain vigour. The gradual valley to Nichnai was easier with few meters of rocky terrain. Some guys from opposite way were singing Justin biebers’s Don’t you give up nah-nah- nah, I won’t give up, nah-nah-nah. Even if I was about to give up, I stepped ahead: boosted up by the song.

Our pace increased as it rained last 20 minutes of the trek, we got drenched a bit but wore a poncho on time and reached the camp site besides a stream and had tea and tasty pakoras. The night was cold and the sleep rushed into us soon after scrumptious dinner.

Day 3: Nichnai to Vishansar Lake (12,500ft, 12km trek 6–7 hrs)

Woke up at 6 am and were all set for the day by 7 am. Climbed up a steep mountain and Nishnai valley opens with the mixture of terrains: snowy, rocky, clean even path and flower trail. Reached campsite early and visited nearby Vishansar lake, a blue unruffled water with snow-capped mountains around, which was just a km away from our camp. Drizzling rain started and made the climate cold and colder. We enjoyed Maggi noodles for the evening snacks and mouth-watering gajar ka halwa(carrot halwa) in the dessert after dinner. We feared Himalayan brown bear in the night but fell asleep because of a tiresome day.

Day 4: Vishansar Lake to Gadsar (13,750ft, 8 hrs)

Today we woke up at 5 am, a bright day as if it is 6 30 am in Bangalore. We freshened up and headed towards Vishansar lake and then a bit of up climbing we got the first view of Kishansar lake. Steep mountain to gadsar pass was draining and a long path to scale. Vishansar and Kishansar twin lakes were always in the view on the climbing path. Once when we scaled this path and reached 13750ft, a sense of achievement overwhelmed us. The view of snow-capped mountains, white pathways, green trails, afar view of lakes was like dreamy heavens. One cannot capture this serene beauty in the camera but in mind through our eyes and this cannot match any photograph.

The other side of the mountain was a steep down snowy path and we slid down wearing our rain pants. It was an amusement to me to ski down on a snow for the first time. I even got hurt as I laid hands on ice the whole time I slid. But that was fun too. We had lunch besides a valley stream and then reached gadsar lake. It was placid blue water with ice floating on it. We enjoyed the rest of the trek chit-chatting, taking pictures. Just before reaching the camp, we had to get our Id’s checked at an Army camp and later cross a coldest stream with bare legs as it was little deep and we dint want to damp our shoes. I crossed first and Omg what a s*** cold it was!! I sat on a rock and enjoyed everyone else’s epic reactions after crossing the cold stream. It was indeed an entertaining part. Further, we leisurely reached the campsite which was near to a bit of an icy mountain base which was colder than the previous camps. We played card games, Dumb-charades, how’s yours etc., laughed and laughed and had delicious dinner with all the crazy gang. As a daily ritual, it rained few minutes and the cold air occupied us as the temperature fell up 3°- 4° C throughout the night.

Day 5: Trek from Gadsar to Satsar (12,500ft, 4–5 hrs)

As we cannot predict the mountain weather which changes any minute, we dint want to delay and get stuck in rains. So, we started off early. Initial couple of hours involved walking along a mountain ridge and crossing over to the other side to reach Satsar (Seven Lakes). Sometimes paths were so edgy but we were cautious, if slipped we would fall into an abysmal depths. Initial few hours we could spot Indigenous strawberry patch on the verge of budding, small flowers of Vivid colours which gave a spectacular beauty to the mountain ridge that we were following. We reached a peak and view blew our mind. We descended to reach Border-3 army camp where our identification was checked. The soldiers were very much welcoming, we were given warm water to drink and we even clicked pictures with them. I really appreciate their dedication and love for the country. Further trail was mostly rocky and it was drizzling a bit. We had sandwiches on the way and crossed small lakes in between, moved on to reach the camp by 1 pm. We had plenty of time to relax and entertain ourselves. We had yummy Gulab Jamun after dinner.

Day 6: Satsar (12,000ft) to Twin Lakes of Gangabal (11,500ft) (9km/6 hrs)

This was Black and white path for first few hours, there was fog in white, big dark rocks to climb, rains. It sucked all my energy climbing those steep rocky terrain. In hindi we sarcastically say din me taare dikh rahe hai (we could see stars in the daytime) means we are so drained out but I could actually see meteoroids and other Celestial bodies too 😉: P. We reached Zaj pass and could see Nundkol and Gangbal: the twin lakes from the peak. The view would be even more beautiful but it was mostly foggy that day. Climbing down was strenuous and slippery as it was drizzling and rocks were mud-spattered. But as we descended we could actually see our tents from afar, placed near to the lakes, we enjoyed the view of twin lakes and Harmukh- The gorgeous glacier above Nundkol lake. We sat there absorbing the beauty, clicked pictures and reached the camp. Night we enjoyed watching numerous stars in the sky. I had never seen those many stars twinkling. I wondered the nature in itself is this beautiful then how beautiful the creator might be!!

Day 7: Lazy/Easy Rest day

We took a walk to Nundkol and gangbal lakes. Singing songs, having light moments, clicking pictures. Sparkling Gangbal lake was fascinating to look at. Magical cool breeze enchanted our souls. Sheep, goats and horses made the delta around the lake more fertile. We walked back in the noon and had stomach full lunch and took a short nap amidst serene landscapes. As this was the last camp site, we had campfire in the night, we shared our life stories, sang many songs together. I felt that these beautiful memories had with amazing people will never erase from my memory.

Day 8: Ending Day- Bending day, Gangabal to Naranag (15 kms trek, 7 hrs)

Everyone had an excitement to complete the trek also a slight gloom as we never wanted to go back to the concrete jungle. Mother nature offered us with the lush green grass, the alpine meadows, dandelions, ferns which are my favourite of all the paths and I was ready to stop there forever. Pristine landscapes dazzled our spirits to climb down slowly steadily. Sometimes climbing down constantly for 6-7hrs is more dredging than climbing up. Our knee caps were calling names and the toes: enough said. We took 5 small stops and finally arrived at the end stop Naranag at 2.30 pm. Congratulated each other, ate lightly at the guest house and headed towards Srinagar in the local taxi. We were stopped on the way again by Army men and was told to return to naranag as there were some issues going on but we persuaded them that we have not taken shower in 7 days, had our hotels booked in Srinagar and even showed the copy of the booking. Later they had to budge and let us go. We reached Srinagar and had the best hot water shower of our life and went for shopping at the Dal lake vicinity.

All well that ends well

We all returned safe and sound to our respective places. This trek made me understand my friends better. Caring each other in painful times is valued more. Aiding Unseen wounds, carrying each other’s bags, trailing a steep mountain faster to pass a poncho to save a friend from drenching in rain. These little things bring everyone closer.

I have also discovered the truth of this old saying “Travel broadens the mind”. New sights, sounds, and smells affect our neural system, creates new connections in our brains that help refresh our minds. Hiking recharges our soul and soothes our terrifying thoughts. I totally recommend everyone at least one 7-day hike a year.

Thanks to Renok Adventures and team for everything.

Red, Blues & the Greyhound bus to Nashville

Most people, when I said I was going to take the bus between my stops, gave me a very strange strange look. As if to say “why would you subject yourself to that?” or “I’m worried about you.” I have no regrets though. Truly, I set out to get an authentic understanding about what is going on in the American south right now, and let me tell you, I certainly have been learning a lot. Now, of course, in all my stops I’ve landed in blue cities in Red States, so I’ve felt quite sheltered for the most part. But there is no way better to learn, then riding the bus.

Now leaving New Orleans was difficult, I’ll tell you. Not just because I had such a great time there, but because my new friends were literally getting ready for the WITCHES BALL as I was packing up my bag. It was like the city was dangling the carrot begging me to stay. On top of that- Will Smith showed up and played the preservation hall. I mean--- New Orleans just has to stop flirting with me. It’s too much. As a matter of fact, it was like the city was holding on to me. My bus was supposed to leave at 9:30 pm, but it ended up leaving half past midnight. I didn’t mind, I knew the bus wasn’t going to glamorous or fun persay. I wanted to see the landscape/ people-scape change as I moved through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama & Tennessee. It was palatable too.

I mean, I don’t know if other places are like this, but from my time on bus’ in Canada, I’ve never been made to get off before. Here you do- At every. single. stop. Which is tedious to say the least. My ticket originally said I just had stop in Mobile, Alabama, for an hour. As it turned out, we actually had an hour long stop in Mobile, Montegomery, Birimgham (maybe another one too?). Each time we stopped for a while, the bus would be emptied out & cleaned from top to bottom. I which is nice, but how messy could they possibly get in two hours?The stop in Mobile ended up being more like 5 hours- because we missed the connecting bus. I didn’t really mind (I mean, I sighed up for it & all I could do was go with it, being negative wouldn’t change the situation & I wasn’t even tempted to be).

Most people were grumpy though, if I’m being honest. Those poor greyhound people, I think every person going through those terminals, particularly in Alabama, was swearing and cursing those greyhound staff. They were grumpy about all kinds of stuff- but mostly because of that missed connection.

There really were ‘all-kinds’ on that bus. Joining up in New Orleans, there was a whole group (of maybe 20) parents & children coming into the country (via Texas) for the first time. In Nola, a man and a woman, rushed towards them, handing out supplies & fruit & a manner of many other small items. It was clear they were migrating because they all had the same lime green totes, with the name of a charity that helps with these things printed on them. We parted ways in Montgomery, where many of them continued on to Atlanta or Florida.

In Birmingham, I mostly occupied my time with watching videos Eli was sending me about Tulum. (Which I think is growing on me as a destination). I made small talk with a guy next to me who (I didn’t realize until later) was wearing a shirt with a confederate flag on it, that said something like “never apologize for your past”. He asked me where I was coming from and where i was going & I told him. In regards to Nashville, he said “Oh, yeah I like it up there. They are a lot more polite than in places like down here.” He also told me he’d always wanted to go to Canada, but couldn’t (he learned at the boarder one time) “on account of my convictions”- which turned out to be 3rd degree assault & battery. I didn’t really ask more questions.

Maybe it was a fluke, maybe not, but I also found the amount of people wearing the colour red was super unusually numerous. Like everyone, white people, people of colour, old, young. Maybe it’s a style choice, but I definitely noticed it in Birmingham. Our stop in Birmingham also ended up being a lot longer than we initally thought it would be because the police wouldn’t let our bus leave. They picked out a couple of white guys in the back (who had been with me since Mobile) who were both wearing red shirts & grey hoodies (my co-incidence, I dont think they knew eachother). They were both asked to leave the bus, where they were searched for weapons. When they got back on, they were both making a fuss, saying that the cops were trying to figure out if they were “in the brotherhood” or not. The brotherhood, of course, being the Klu Klux Klan. Which made me both uncomfortable & way more aware. I mean, I was one of the only white people on the bus (definitely the only white woman on the whole trip), and if it made me uncomfortable, I can’t imagine what it would have felt like otherwise. The bus driver, who was a black woman, then got up to warn us that she would have “no tolerence for any kind of nonesense” and that she would kick anyone off if she felt any trouble from them. It had me kind of on edge, but it turned out fine.

I did sleep for the most part. I mean, it was a night bus anyways, but I didn’t feel like anyone else was feeling super chatty. (okay, that may be a lie. A guy that was on his way to rehab in Colombus kept offering me peanut butter sandwhiches. Actually, he was one of the people accused of being in the KKK. Maybe it was me that wasn’t feeling chatty- I was doing my best to observe.) In Huntsville, a young man came and sat next to me. His speech was super slurry, and I couldn’t easily understand him. He did keep making conversation with me. Then he started crying. The whole way to Nashville. He was messaging back & forth with a girl, who clearly broke his heart in someway. As if sitting next to a crying, stranger wasn’t awkward enough. He couldn’t read that well, so he kept turning to me ASKING ME TO READ THE MESSAGES to him. Which of course, would make him burst out into tears all over again. Texts including “N ya. that’s y I dnt wanna b wit u” & “I do got luv for u. Just nt as a couple”. He then kept voice memo-ing her stuff including “That’s fucked up!” over and over again. It started to feel like I was breaking up with this guy. This strange, strange, socially awkward person. I try not to pity people, because I think that is a sentiment that can be disempowering for the subject. Not going to lie tho, I felt a lot of pity for that guy. Honestly, I felt a lot of relief too, when we finally got to Nashville.

I haven’t explored too much yet- I mean- It’s 8am on the morning after my bus rolled in (a good 7hrs after it said it would). I did wander just a little to find Two Boots pizza-which was relatively near by. Two Boots is the pizza chain that Leon (Asa’s cousin) family owns. It’s a cajun, pizza place- the two boots being Louisiana & Italy. So I got a calzone & tried not to feel sad about the fact that I wasn’t in New Orleans anymore. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have a good feeling about Nashville. Definitely crush worthy too. The mountains that hug this city were beautiful to watch with the setting sun. I do feel a sense of land-locked-ness, which I wasn’t necessarily expecting, but I think that’s my spoiled east-coast girl showing. Nashville has a really good energy about it. Bubbly, a little hooky for sure, but friendly as ever. I already feel much more comfortable walking around at night here. I’m gonna do my best to get my country music fix here- I can tell it won’t be hard- there are honky-tonks everywhere.

EPISODE 1 - An Army Of Porn Pete (TM) - Josh (Camp)

(If a confessional is just a gif or a picture then it was most likely Veronica, winner of Jeju Island, uwu <3)

WILLA

One world? This is going to be an iconic mess and I can't wait to see how this turns out.

WILL

Will she decapitate me or will we work together: The Regan/Will love story begins all over again (for when these go public I have nothing against you Regan you're a queen in my eyes)

DANA

How quickly are you trying to kill me. First of all: I literally know 99% of these people and am playing in Athena with them right now, which makes my game in each more complicated. On my tribe: Me, Chris, Willow, Willa, and Austin The only person I don't know is Austin. I'm aligned with Willa in another game and was aligned with Chris in the same game. Willow and I were friendly in Solomon Islands. Hopefully this puts me in a good spot. Other than that, going through the rest of the cast on other tribes: Playing with in Athena right now: Adrian, Kai, Lily, Jaiden, and Nicholas. I'm in an alliance with all of them except Adrian (who might not like me after tonight). From Solomon: Zakriah, my literal child and snapchat streak buddy. He's also vv close with Willow, so this is good. Potential alliance? From Great Lakes: Kyle and Ashton. Idk Ashton AT all. We were never on a tribe together. Heard he's pretty good at orgs though. Kyle and I didn't super get along in GL. I voted him as first merge boot, he voted me, and I went home. I've also heard a lot about Regan and i'm excited to meet her. Basically I know/ have a relationship with half of the cast, so this should be INTERESTING. I'm excited.

JAKE

So the game hasn't even officially started yet and I formed a tight bond with Kyle and Lexi. I feel that we all relate to each other pretty well, so I like where this is going.

LEXI

Ok so i already have an alliance with ribsor and jake. I know jake from a mini we played together and we bonded right away. I also know regan,austin and jaiden from the other tribe. I have a good relationship with all 3 so that made me happy seeing them. I hope they can stay and fight until merge. Heck i hope i can stay and fight until merge. this is a small tribe so thats alittle scary. Also this one world crap aint working for me. I cant talk to that many people and keep up. I'm in another tumblr game and hosting a skype org...so its hard to keep up. But i try my hardest and im just glad i got in an alliance already.

WILL

I actually feel pretty good so far like I think I'm on the good side of mostly everyone on my tribe - two of them played with me before two of them don't know me - and I'm already sensing some tension between certain people so like... this will be a good one lol. Plus I have Nicholas on my side through one world and I've made some other lowkey connections so it's all going great for the first day

KAI

Been a pretty quiet day, no ones really spoken much so kinda worried but oh wwll

JOSH

OKAY. Hello. I'm here to confess and such for the round since I haven't just yet. I'm feeling pretty okay on my tribe so far? I know Regan from previous experiences and we're friends and I think that Jaiden knows he isn't super popular so he'll rely on me to kind of keep him safe? I"m talking with Will a lot and I enjoy him so I'm glad to have him here. The only person I'm not feeling really great about is Zakariah so far? I'm not sure how close he is with other people, so I have to wary about just throwing his name out. But, if I had to choose someone to be at the bottom of the totem pole on our tribe.. It'd be him. He's not super active. I can also see Jaiden being a bit of a flop and being first to die, so I'm just going to kind of figure out where people STAND here right now and figure it out later. Because I don't imagine us being on these tribes of five for too long, so I just need to make sure that I do my best to survive here while I still can. I'LL HAVE MORE THOUGHTS AFTER I TALK MORE STRATEGY BUT I NEED TO WORK ON IMPROVING MY SCORE

DANA

my new aesthetic in games is to just talk to the hosts in host chat instead of the players because i love them more. <3 Rob

WILLOW

I'm just gonna do a cast assessment rn bc why not Dana- Ahh we played in Solomon together and I love her, she's so sweet! Austin- We talked a lot last night and he's really nice, and has a good taste in survivor opinions Chips- Hasn't messaged me back yet and has only talked in the tribe chat twice Willa- Seems cool, but didn't talk to me for very long Also I'm confused about what happened during the "fight" in One World Also One World is too much at the beginning so I might just stick to talking to the people on my tribe first, and then once theres a swap I'll start talking to the other people idk.

ADRIAN

Whew El Salvador! Que tal chicos y chicas? Me llamo Adrian y yo soy no esperando nada mas por el juego para comenzar! Like this tribe a lot and really, I see 2 people from other games that are running side by side on my tribe, and really its cool to see that people are willing to work with me. But there is the downside of having people being inactive on the Apopa tribe, and really I'm not ready for shit like that to happen so quickly.

Of course it would be One World this season. I see alot of familiar names and faces and I'm already thrilled to start this game, until I see Regan. Is it possible to hate a bitch because of how negatively she rubs people upon meeting them? Wait, hold that thought. Yeah. Its very possible.

Its not even the end of Day 2, and already this bitch is asking for me to rip her head off. Like I don't give a flying fuck. Don't slander my name when you don't know me either. Fuck. Seriously, don't go preaching shit you won't practice. Regan's asking for a verbal beatdown, in English and in Spanish.

Keep it up Regan, and I will end you before you have a chance to be on a tribe with me. I am not someone to fuck around with and I don't care how many people would say that I should apologize to her. I guess I can't play more subtly now cause I just ended the living shit out of her. Oh btw, she can have her wig back. There's like pieces of scalp like attached to it.

(Note: Each paragraph was its own confessional)

DANA

My tribe is killing me with this challenge. Why did none of them start until like 7hrs before it is due when none of them know any Spanish and this challenge is semi-all about putting in time. Me right now: trying to make up for literally everyone's scores on my tribe. Quick assessment of my tribe? (Even though I knew everyone except Austin before we got here) Austin: Putting in a lot of effort to be friendly, which is good. Probably will want to work with him honestly but betraying someone I am already friendly with to do this will be hard. Chips: Isn't speaking to anybody. Why? Idk ur guess is as good as mine honestly. Willa: Honestly a fav. He better want to work with me here. Willow: My queen. My thoughts on one world? IT IS HYSTERICAL. Pls bring Regan back so she and Adrian can fight more and I can intervene with lighthearted comedy. Honestly I love problems and drama, sign me up pls.

LILY

Hi! So I don't know what I'm doing playing two games cause it ain't my style but I'm trying. So far I really like jake on my tribe because he is also a Michigander and that makes you awesome. I also like will a lot but he isn't on my tribe sooooo. Yeah. Also I suck at Spanish. So yeah.

AUSTIN

I know nobody on my tribe. So far I want to work with Willow and Dana!! Honestly I'll probably be the first boot but my goal is to make the tribe swap I guess. I know Lexi ribbons and Jake I hope I play with them :)

WILLA

Dana is a lesbian? oh cool

JAIDEN

I have nothing to tell the world about my experience... yet.

MICHEAL

Dana is a lesbian which is not a suprise i mean have you seen her profile pic anyway in the game i made no connections i know what a great way to start the game but tonight i plan on making them

NICHOLAS

KAI

WOOO! WE WOOONNNN! That's pretty awesome!

RREGAN (That’s how she spelled it in the confessional hehe)

im perfect ill send one after bbhell ty

ASHTON

Well ugh life is good. This game on the other hand I have no idea what's going on. I've talked to richie cuz i knew him already but that's about it. Overall i'm happy im not gonna be first boot but pretty sure i'll be gone soon lol

RICHIE

who am i if i dont start off the game with my first confessional saying "i hate this fucking tribe!!!!!!!!" i've been out doing things for the last 3 days so i havent gotten a chance to do anything or really talk to anyone but i just played the duolingo immunity challenge before i went to sleep and when i was on the bus and train going to my friends lmao i didnt realize that i was the only one who was actually putting effort into it and thats sad because i really didnt play much but i guess the rest of my tribe is just full of flops!!! ashton i played with before we didnt talk much and we voted for eachother but i like them hope we can talk kai i talked to a little but like..... that needs to be worked on michael is the biggest flop ive ever met they are perfect first boot material if i leave before them i'm never playing another game and nicolas seems cool thats it! uneventful first week my social game is weak nothing happened not much to report but whew

KYLE

this host sucks

NICHOLAS

hello i am excited for this game but my tribe is dry as fuck besides richie

Kung Pow Quahog 101: Fighting Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken

Hey there guys, do you feel like chicken tonight, chicken tonight!!!

With Phase 4 of the Kung Pow Quahog Event in full swing I thought I’d drop by with a post on defeating Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken, in the hope it will stop you from getting your feathers in a flap over him.

In this post I will go over the Basics of the Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken fight, in order to try to help you as you will need to defeat him 8 times to unlock the Kung Pow Giant Chicken character costume, (and of course if you don’t have him already you get Giant Chicken thrown in too) and once to complete the main Questline Pt. 8, completing this isn’t necessary as it’s the final phase but I know some of you are completepionists and like to do so. Be aware that you won’t get credit for any defeats before you reach Pt. 8, you need to defeat him when this part of the Questline is active in order for the task to complete.

Now this post will give as much detail as I can give in the time I had to get this posted in order to be of any help, you need to be attacking now to have any chance at the costume, and I just don’t have the time to give the odds for every combo of fighters this time as there are way too many variables and too little time, but I hope the examples I give will at least guide you to making the right decision based on the fighters you have. In other words this has been a nightmare to write. It’s no wonder I’m reaching for a headache patch, lol.

For the Main Event Post, go HERE

For the Main Phase 4 Questline, go HERE

You’ll find a post that will be updated each Phase to include our Foes and who can fight them HERE.

WHEN WILL KILLER KUNG POW GIANT CHICKEN APPEAR?

Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken will appear within a few hours of you starting Takin’ It To The Streets Pt. 3.

Tapping GO will bring up the information box for Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken.

Once you’ve done this keep checking your event area as this is where you will see Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken start to show off his battle moves, and be aware his 24 hour timer starts as soon as you see him in your game, not after the first attack like it did with Kung Pow Giant Chicken.

WHAT DO I NEED TO START A BATTLE?

First, you will need to collect Rotten Eggs, each attack costs 1 Rotten Egg.

Rotten Eggs (Always): Get from Clearing Sensei, Clearing Samurai & Clearing Sumo

If you do NOT have the amount of Rotten Eggs required, you will see “NEED MORE ROTTEN EGGS” on the Battle screen no matter what Character you select.

Once you have 2 Rotten Eggs, then “FIGHT” will appear once you select your Character/Characters.

HOW DO I SELECT A CHARACTER TO FIGHT KILLER KUNG POW GIANT CHICKEN?

Just tap on Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken in the battle arena, now when the Battle Screen appears you will immediately see on the positive side you can use up to 3 fighters to attack Killer Kung Pow Chicken during an attack, but on the downside you will see he’s not only much stronger than the other foes but he also packs a very powerful punch. His Health =48 and his Attack Power = 1000. Ouch, Double Ouch and Triple Ouch!!!

Tap on + to add the Character/Characters you want to use for the current Battle and a check mark will appear on them. If you want just one, that is fine, although I don’t recommend it as you will see in my battle advice below. Then tap on “GO” to take you back to Battle Screen. (If you see a lock on the Character, you do not have them available)

Also remember a character cannot battle whilst busy doing another task. They can however do tasks between battles or whilst healing.

WHAT CHARACTERS CAN FIGHT KUNG POW GIANT CHICKEN?

The Characters you can use will depend on WHO you have purchased or unlocked…

Dojo Peter: Health 8, Attack Power 4, Critical Hit Chance 20, Heals in 7 hours

Samurai Quagmire: Health 4, Attack Power 6, Critical Hit Chance 20, Heals in 3 hours

Sumo Chris: Health 6, Attack Power 8, Critical Hit Chance 20, Heals in 9 hours.

Sho’Nuff: Health 4, Attack Power 16, Critical Hit Chance 20, Heals in 5 hours.

Walking Joe: Health 8, Attack Power 14, Critical Hit Chance 50, Heals in 7 hours.

Kung Fu Herbert: Health 6, Attack Power 8, Critical Hit Chance 20, Heals in 9 hours.

Yogi Fighter Brian: Health 4, Attack Power 6, Critical Hit Chance 25, Heals in 3 hours.

Tai-Jitsu Lois: Health 8, Attack Power 6, Critical Hit Chance 25, Heals in 7 hours.

WHAT IS HEALTH, ATTACK POWER AND CRITICAL HIT?

Health – The amount of damage you can take before you’re knocked out.

Attack Power – The standard damage you can do to your opponents health during an attack.

Critical Hit Chance– The higher the number the higher the odds of you doing a critical hit to your opponent. These are random, basically look at it like a lucky strike where you do more damage than your standard. These work on chance, you have no control over them, so really don’t think about it too much. Just know that it means you can knockout an opponent with one hit, but on the downside they can also do the same to you.

Now their Health and/or Attack Power it takes to defeat villans may change as the Event progresses, as we may see new villains to battle, as of know I am not sure on this… but we will have to see what happens as the Event progresses.

HOW MANY CHARACTERS DO I NEED TO FIGHT KILLER KUNG POW GIANT CHICKEN?

Technically you can fight with only one but for any single fighter other than Sho’nuff you’re going find it tough to defeat him 8 times, although not impossible if you want to give up your sleep and have a stockpile of Rotten Eggs & Revive Potions, which is unlikely. This is because there is a big difference from the Mr Washee Washee and Mr Miyagi Battles, with these you could chip away at their health at your leisure, taking days to fully defeat them but you can’t do this with Killer Kung Pow Chicken as a timer starts as soon as you see him in the battle arena, giving you only 24 hours to fully defeat him before his health is fully restored. This is different from Kung Pow Giant Chicken as his timer didn’t start until you attacked him. I will explain this better when I go into attacks later in this post.

But if you’ve not purchased any premium fighters, don’t panic as you can defeat Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken without them but be aware you will need to do multiple attacks to win unless you strike it lucky with a critical hit, which I think is very unlikely. If you get one please tell us in the comments. So with this in mind before you even think about attacking him make sure you’ve stocked up on Rotten Eggs.

Now that you have the Basics, let’s look at a fight so you can see how things go down.

BATTLING KILLER KUNG POW GIANT CHICKEN

Now I’m going to chat more about battling Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken, what follows is just my thoughts, you can of course ignore my advice and plot your own battle but I’m going highlight why you shouldn’t go with one fighter if you can avoid it. You really need to try to stick with a combo of fighters for this foe if you can unless you willing to play round the clock.

And remember you will only have 24 hours to fully defeat him before his health restores. You will see the timer above him in the event arena counting down.

ATTACKING WITH ONE FIGHTER

So if you look at the image above where you only use Dojo Peter, you have no chance as Dojo Peter can only inflict 4 Damage with each attack and it will take 48 damage to defeat Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken. And the odds are just as bad with regards your health, you only have 8 to Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken’s 48. Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken can wipe out your health with one attack. So basically you’re attack power and health isn’t going see you win the battle any time soon as you’d need to attack 12 times to fully deplete his health, and this means healing 11 times, at 7hrs to heal, that’s 77 hours, so impossible within the 24 hours unless you want to spend one helluva lot of revive potions or clams to defeat him. Also remember you’d need 12 Rotten Eggs as well and you’ve got defeat him 8 times to get the 8 feathers. So that’s an example of why you should forget it when it comes to Dojo Peter, but what about the others, well what follows is very quick breakdown of who maybe can and who can’t do it alone.

Sho’nuff – Ok, this is the great hope if you want to go it alone, (but in my opinion you’d be crazy not to combo him). He can do 16 damage, so he would only need to attack 3 times to knockout Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken. He needs to heal twice though with a 9 hours heal time, so 18 hours healing time total. And you’d need 3 Rotten Eggs. So this can be done as long as you have at least 18 hours attack time left when you first attack.

But as most won’t have him can any other fighter do it alone? Well yes, here’s a freemium and premium option.

Samurai Quagmire OR Yogi Fighter Brian – either can do it but it’s going be tough and see your sleep disrupted. Either character alone can do 6 damage, so you would need to attack 8 times to knockout Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken. Your fighter would also need to heal seven times but with a 3 hours heal time it’s possible, so 21 hours healing time. But a big negative is you’d need 8 Rotten Eggs to complete the 8 attacks. So this can be done as long as you have at least 21 hours attack time left when you first attack. But think of the Rotten Eggs you’d need to do this over and over again, as to get 8 feathers you need 8 defeats.

The other fighters just can’t do it alone, Kung Fu Herbert would need to attack 6 times, which means healing 5 times at 9 hours each time, 45 hours just on healing so he would have timed out before you can even defeat him once. Walking Joe would need to attack 12 times, which means healing 11 times at 7 hours each time, 77 hours just on healing so he would have timed out before you even defeat him once. Sumo Chris would need to attack 6 times, which means healing 5 times at 9 hours each time, 45 hours just on healing so he’d have timed out before you could even defeat him once. Tai-Jitsu Lois would need to attack 6 times, which means healing 5 times at 7 hours each time, 35 hours just on healing so she’d have timed out before you could even defeat him once. So as you can see all hopeless unless you want to go bankrupt spending money on revive potion or clams. So please don’t waste Rotten Eggs attempting these.

ATTACKING WITH A COMBO OF FIGHTERS

Obviously you increase your chances of defeating Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken by using more than one fighter in the battles. You can battle with 2 or 3 characters and you’ll see the benefits of these choices below. But I’m going be honest I don’t have the time to go through every combination, there’s just too many fighters and variables, but I hope by showing you examples you can then make up the best combo from the fighters you have at your disposable,

Let’s say you have Sho’nuf, well combine him with any other fighter and your odds are good, but what about other 2 fighter combos. Are there any good bets?

Yes there are and hers a few examples:

Sumo Chris & Kung Fu Herbert – Combined attack of 16, so three attacks needed, they need to heal twice at 9 hours to heal, so 18 hours total time to complete the 3 attacks. And just 3 Rotten Eggs. A good duo if you have them but they take a long time to complete the defeat, however they don’t use up a lot of Rotten Eggs.

Samurai Quagmire & Yogi Fighter Brian – Combined attack of 12, so four attacks needed, they need to heal three times at 3 hours to heal, so 9 hours total time to complete the 4 attacks. But you’ll need 4 Rotten Eggs. Another good duo if you have them, they can defeat him quicker at only a slightly higher cost in Rotten Eggs.

For a freemium two fighter combo, let’s take Dojo Peter & Samurai Quagmire – now this is where it gets tougher as it’s going take time and 6 Rotten Eggs, you can see how it’s going be hard with only freemium fighters. For this to work there must be at least 17 hours left on the timer when you start. You’d need battle as follows:

Send both in to fight with combined damage of 10

After 3 hours Samurai Quagmire will heal, send him in alone for damage of 6

After 7 hours from first attack Peter will be healed so send both in to fight with combined damage of 10

After another 3 hours Samurai Quagmire will heal, send him in alone for damage of 6

After 7 hours from second attack Peter will be healed so send both in to fight with combined damage of 10

After another 3 hours Samurai Quagmire will heal, send him in alone for damage of 6

Here you can see it’s going to take 17 hours and 6 Rotten Eggs, and sleep disruption. I also have to be honest and say impossible to do 8 defeats this way, unless you’ve unlocked Golden Dragon and the Pachinko Palace to get a Revive Potion from each every 24 hours. These might help, but I think it’s still going to cost you clams to get 8 defeats this way.

So as you can see your best hope in two fighter combos is having a premium fighter. Surely there’s got to be a better way?

And that’s what we’re going look at now, the combo that gives you the best odds for the least Rotten Eggs. And here we have it, the perfect storm of fighters to knockout Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken with limited attacks, using less Rotten Eggs and saving you losing sleep is using three fighters. I’m going to show you what I’m using from the fighters I have available but you need work out best combo from yours, use mine as a guide only. As you can see the combined attack power of my combo is 4+6+6=16. So we could defeat Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken in 3 attacks as long as we have at least 14 hours left on his timer, as we should hopefully do a minimum of 16 damage or even more if we get a lucky hit. The fighters will need to heal twice taking a total of 14 hours and it’s going to cost 3 Rotten Eggs. So unless you have an army of premium fighters or Sho’nuff this is quite a good Time and Rotten Egg balance. And if you build up some Revive Potions you may just get in 8 defeats by the time the event ends. I’m hoping so, time will tell.

And there’s the added fun of getting see your three fighters in the arena.

Basically you need to repeat this attack once all 3 are healed, it will take 7 hours. As Samurai Quagmire heals in 3 hours I send him to attack and get Rotten Eggs whilst waiting for Dojo Peter and Tai-Jitsu Lois to heal.

And remember you have the option of healing fighters with Revive Potions or clams and attacking again immediately, or waiting the 7 hour healing time and then sending the same 3 fighters in to attack again, repeat this and attack a third time to finish the job.

And wham bam thank you ma’am Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken is no more, defeated by our trio in 3 attacks with time to spare and it’s only needed 3 Rotten Eggs total. But I must admit after all that it’s a little disappointing to only get 1 feather and 32 Sumo Belts for your efforts, I think 2 feathers would have been fairer, but that’s the low reward TinyCo has set.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE?

If you are knocked out and lose all your health then you need to heal your fighter/fighters.

WHAT IS HEALING?

Each time your Character/Characters go into Battle, they will take Damage. Once their health hits 0 in order to be able to use them again they must heal from that back to their full Capacity. Please note your fighter/fighters will not start to heal if they have only lost health, they must be at 0 health.

There are a few ways to Heal your Character/Characters. First tap on any Nerd and then go to the Character Select Screen (tap on +). Here you will see your Character has taken Damage and “HEAL” is showing over them.

You will see above the time to heal a fighter with 8 or more health is 7hrs and below this a button to allow you to heal them immediately either using premium revive potions bought from the store or if you have no revive potions, you will get a message telling you the clam cost to heal your fighter instantly.

However the time to heal fighters with 4 health is only 3 hours.

And this shorter heal time is reflected in a lower clam cost to instantly restore their health through the heal option.

This is where having unlocked Golden Dragon and placed the Pachinko Palace will help, as you can get a Revive Potion from each every 24 hours and they may just help you et an extra defeat or two in before the event ends. I can gather another 10 Revive Potions before the end hopefully.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS?

This will depend on where you are in the game but here is a general idea of Payouts.

32 Sumo Belts (Always) 1 Feather (Always)

Round rewards of 20 Chopsticks, 1 Fortune Cookie, 1 Gold & 1 Incense.

There you have it, the overall idea of the Killer Kung Pow Giant Chicken Battles. I’m going to be honest and say he’s going to be tough for freemium players, but I wish you luck, and as for premium players, I wish you luck too as he still won’t be easy.
