I did it! I just got my first red cookie.
did you click on it?

Yep! It was Lucky! (And so was I, I'm sure.)

Got another one! Elder Frenzy. THAT was helpful.
Woah, I've never gotten that. what is it? might be something you can only get from red cookies, as I've only clicked on a red cookie a couple times.

It multiplied my clicking by 666 for 13 seconds and it MAY have multiplied by cps by the same. I am not totally sure, but my cookies really jumped when I got it.

With a golden cookie I've occasionally gotten one that multiplies cookies by clicking by 777 for 13 seconds, but does nothing to cps. I think it's called a clicking frenzy for that though...

There's a lot of spoilers here recently...

Golden cookies can multiply clicking by 777 for 7 seconds (and by 14 if you get the upgrade).  That one is REALLY good.  It's really rare, though.

I think that, on average, red cookies are better than golden cookies.

It's CpS x666 for 6 seconds I think.

Golden Cookies always give x7 for 77 seconds, or things like that, while red cookies give x6 for 66 seconds or something like that.  Red cookies also can have bad effects (which I always seem to get...).  The only good thing about red cookies is that they have a bit better chance of being good.

http://cookieclicker.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Cookie

Red Cookies have a much higher chance of starting a cookie chain, and can give you 666xcps

It has negative effects a little over half the time, though.

hah, I was just about to post that link too. here's the one to golden cookies: http://cookieclicker.wikia.com/wiki/Golden_Cookie

losing the chance of a frenzy really, really hurts later in the game. if you have 84,000 times your cps in the bank, and never go below that number, you get a ton of cookies from frenzy-lucky combos, which happen quite often actually.

So what are the killer strats for this game? Which buildings and upgrades are essential, and which are skippable? When should you sell your infrastructure? For example, let's say you were trying to rush to 1,000,000 cookies for the speed achievement, what's the best plan?

Also looking forward to getting home from work to see my accumulating cookie hoard ;)

I doubt any are ignorable... because they all get more pricy, eventually the one you are ignoring will be comparatively cheap and then worth it. Some are more helpful than others though...

Selling is probably never a good idea. You are going to end up re-purchasing them eventually, so what's the point?

also, my pledge just ran out, and I got a red cookie... because of this discussion I figured what the heck, I'll click on it... and I lost 3 trillion cookies...

Which must be only 10 minutes worth of cookies, then?

Is that... 1.5 quintillion?  That is one hell of a lot of cookies.

For scale, 1.5 quintillion cookies would have about twice the mass of Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons.

I blame all of you for getting me into this.

However, suddenly I'm getting no golden cookies at all, as opposed to one every few seconds.  Bug?

Edit:   Oh it looks like the "golden cookie every 10 seconds" was the actual bug.  Well, I'll take the kick-start...

Selling is probably never a good idea. You are going to end up re-purchasing them eventually, so what's the point?

Incorrect, all of the speed achievements require shrewd selling strategies. The general gist is to buy infrastructure to get a certain cps+ then sell a % of that infrastructure to immediately buy a seriously upgraded infrastructure that produces a higher cps allowing the sold infrastructure to be replaced more quickly than you would have been able to simply wait for the lower infrastructure to produce the cookies needed for the higher infrastructure alone.

e.g. (all numbers just random guesses)
begin by buying 15 cursors and 15 grandmas for 1,000cps
sell 10 cursors and 5 grandmas and buy a portal for 3,000cps
buy back the 10 cursors and 5 grandmas with a much more quickly appreciating cookie bank

I think you sell at 50% of buy value.

Hmmm, that does seem to work (and actuallly be a good idea even if not going for achievements). However, I think this is a bit of an edge case - it only helps early in the game, and probably only once or twice.

And also, selling 10 cursors and 5 grandmas is not going to give you enough cookies for a portal... unless you've already spent a really long time getting cookies with your grandmas and cursors. probably optimal to buy farms/mines/factories at some point.
