C, you have just bombarded me with gifts today. :)

Let me explain it this way... You and I are completely different in what we find fun in the game. I like (well, maybe, used to like) searching pictures. When I was younger in the game, I was happy digging the pictures to find something, like a dog digging the ground. If I found something, it was great, but it was still OK if nothing found. The fun of digging slowly slipped away after 5 consecutive exhausting timed challenges, but even now I never use dynamites except when I find I'm nodding off.

I'm a merchant and before Observation Deck I had few friends. I learned how to manage with fewer combiners, and I liked that way. Perhaps a heavy TTer would never understand the fun of devising energy-saving, combiner-saving techniques, I guess?

I have some friends (non-TTers I believe) with whom I can talk about the game. But there are many gaps between TTers and non-TTers. I'm afraid I might get blind to some gaps if I keep "unfair privilege" as a friend of extravagant TTer. (I saw the expression in advertisement, so I hope "unfair" does not sound accusating.)  I want to get back in the thrifty mode. I really don't need that much of gifts from one person. Keeping a friend takes some effort, especially for a merchant, and I wish to be on an equal footing to those non-TT friends. --landscape
