So, should I or should I not get the elder covenant?

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon

I'm pretty sure the Elder Pledge is better, as golden cookies are better and the covenant gets rid of 5% of your CpS.  Get all the wrinkler achievements and Halloween cookies first, though.  If you're lazy and don't fell like buying the pledge every hour, get the covenant.  (Also, if you don't want to even have a chance of seeing those grandmas get creepy, you might want the covenant then too)

I will not check out your cookie clicker.

I waste enough time playing Marvel Avengers Alliance, managing Thor, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. That's my guilty pleasure.

I suspect if I go click on cookies, I won't emerge from my man cave until spring.

Got to love my language:

Quote
Finnish: Wait! then theres koirakaan, koirankaan, koiraakaan, koirassakaan, koirastakaan.....

It's rather silly to compare an agglutinative language with a non-agglutinative language when it comes to word forms, though.  It's like the claim that Inuit languages have dozens or hundreds of words for snow, when really agglutination means that "fluffy snow" and "crunchy snow" are just agglutinated words.

It is definitely worth popping wrinklers for the achievements/milk.  After that, I'm unsure.  With ten wrinklers sucking on your cookies, you get an effective x6 multiplier.  The cps nerf dampens the effects of both Ruin and Lucky, but the effective x6 stacks with Elder Frenzy, giving you x3996 for 12 seconds (!).  That is about 13 hours 20 minutes worth of production over a 12 second period,  But that is comparable to a Frenzy + Click Frenzy combo.

Yeah, I just popped 10 wrinnlers while under the effects of Elder Frenzy.  It was... kinda ridiculous.

No, don't pop during the Elder Frenzy!  Pop them after, when they are ripe and full of cookies.

If you're looking for a useful pseudo-game, try HabitRPG.  You tell it what you need to do, and it rewards and punishes your character based on your performance at your real-life tasks.

I wish I could find a job where I get paid to manipulate Excel tables. I love playing around with Excel formulas and tweaking the data to do amazing things.

Someday, I'd like to dissect one of those Hero Lab Excel spreadsheets that are used to make D&D characters and just marvel at how intricate the spreadsheet is.

There are plenty of analyst jobs as you describe.. Almost any job with the job title that has the word "analyst" in it requires heavy excel usage..

This. My job title has "analyst" in it and I get to mess around with spreadsheets on a monthly basis... and a weekly basis... and also whenever I have spare time and think any particular set of data is worth messing around with. So like, all the time.

I have spent the last two days producing stats and cost analysis for my team.

Great fun! Especially when the numbers come out exactly what I want them to say!

Although I have now done it in such a way that I only have to copy paste one report and excel functions do all the rest for me. Baaah

Black cat's paw is RIDICULOUS, also I now have all of the non-hidden achievements and 2 of the hidden ones. (I got just plain lucky after just a couple days!)

I have all normal achievements and no hidden ones.

I did a reset and got true neverclick, then did another reset aiming for all three speed achievements, got burnt out after just a few minutes and quit the game for like a day...they're a pain and the hardest one is apparently all luck...plus I have a touchpad, not a mouse. Ick. But anyway, now I'm sitting on 150+ heavenly chips in this reset and quadrillions and quadrillions in cash. I'm satisfied for now, I'll probably just wait around for the next update.

I think that after I reach my current goal, I'm gonna go for speedrun level 3 (1M in 15 minutes) without using a Golden Cookie. Might require some clever planning, and a lot of clicking.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.
