I know everyone is thinking about helping Pamster as much as possible as quickly as possible. But I don't think coordinating a huge collective effort initially is as good an idea as everyone doing what they can when they can individually on an ongoing basis, providing her with a slow but steady stream of assistance, visiting her to check her progress before each time we gift, and using the info on Foss' various pages in this Wiki to figure out what might be best and when, and making sure we don't gift her so much that her gift box is always full and that we don't charge her desktop items so much that her board locks up again. Yuck!

We know that Pamster will have to unlock all her pictures again and she will need lots of coins and energy to do so. But we also know each picture can only be unlocked once she reaches a certain game level. Foss' Picture Levels page can help us with this, particularly the Picture Levels Rate of Progress table and, initially, the Puzzle Level table. Just like pictures unlock at certain levels, so too do combining elements and special items for paid rooms. She won't need locked CEs until she has the collections that require them and she won't need special items until the rooms that require them are unlocked. But she may need them before she can get them herself. They might be great to gift or they might not. Of course, some of us will have the time to check Foss' pages before helping Pamster but others may not. If you don't have time to use the reference materials before helping, Pamster can always stockpile items that aren't as useful currently but will be eventually. For example, gifting her dinner and gold weight collections is still appropriate and she can use them when she needs them. Similarly, we know she'll eventually need lots of all the paid room special items (tokens, etc.), probably more than she'll be able to get when the time comes. I do still recommend, at a minimum, visiting her and checking the status of her board before gifting, focusing on her unlocked pictures that are at the lowest levels. When I was lower level, I appreciated all the low level items and collections a lot more than I do now. I'm sure the same will be true for Pamster. Keep in mind too that she won't have a pyramid or a sphere yet and she won't have an opportunity to get them until Halloween and Christmas. A big coordinated effort will really be useful then as will any collections that can help her with Gem Match so it may be more helpful if you can send those to her then than to send them now.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Hope it helps.
