The IroNoman Marathon: Season 2

Anyone still have their Noman kicking around?

A few do.

Can’t wait to see the final results of those who didn’t… cashed in their snow friend.

Also, thank you all for the input regarding season 2. From what I see, depending on TtH and Feast timing one needs around 400-500 NF to stay on the safe side. Can’t wait for next year’s!

You’ve lost 96 x Noman’s Friend (new total 318 - the Noman is pristine).

I’ll be sad to see the poor fellow go - he’s got a week or two left in him, although sadly not enough to go chasing after the longevity records.

Mine got hit for 114 now - that presumably means the bucket next week. Doesn’t look like the numbers are going further up, though.

Gave a vial of Tears to my lacre-friend because I expected the melting rates to increase and didn’t want him to go so soon. That took him from 125 to 146 NF (a much better result than my dreadfully inefficient Tear-warming…).

Then TtH came and I lost 110 NF (still less than two weeks ago, this doesn’t make sense). Now I am at 36 and will cash him in for an Elemental Secret somewhere early next week. This was fun!

Got hit for 96 NF this morning. Looks like the melt rate won’t increase past 120 until March, when it apparently gets intense.

Lost 102 Noman’s Friend yesterday (21 Feb). My Noman is still pristine.

I let my Noman go today before TtH comes in a couple of hours. At 36 NF, it doesn’t make much sense to wait for its arrival. I now have an Elemental Secret and a number of bittersweet memories.

If anyone is still keeping records, here we go:

You’ve lost 121 x Noman’s Friend (new total 197 - The Noman is pristine).

    &quotYou've lost 136 x Noman's Friend (new total 233 - The Noman is pristine).&quot

Relatively kind melts. Nice.

Well, next week looks to be it! And a few days short of the record, too.

You’ve lost 117 x Noman’s Friend (new total 80 - The Noman endures).

From today’s TtH: &quotYou’ve lost 104 x Noman’s Friend (new total 129 - The Noman is pristine).&quot

Now the question is… do I dare attempt to make it through next week’s melting?

Do it! Do it!

Why stop with next week? Never stop grinding, the noman is all that matters now.

A Correspondence Sign meaning, “Forever Melting Towards the Spring.”

Considering where my Noman’s Friend is and the fact that I still have ToL and Tears left, I want to see if I can make it to Spring.

I just risked Warming my Tears and succeeded enough to reach 11 ToL, which I turned in on the Noman card (yeah, still drawing/holding that) for 33 more Noman’s Friend. However, since I have no more Pails or ToL, that option is gone now. I still have Tears that I can offer up to &quotGive Sustenance to the Noman,&quot but I don’t think I need to.

I am currently sitting at 162 Noman’s Friend. My next melt will be Tuesday the 14th, which will take up to 140 or 150 NF, if I had to guess. I can’t imagine it being more than that, even with the price increasing each week. That would leave me with still a handful of NF, and my Noman will melt on the following Tuesday, March 21st, the second day of Spring.

I’m extremely tempted to attempt to join you, idyl!

Sorry for the double-post! idyl, I couldn’t help myself - may our Nomen live and die together as we sail past the previous record.

You’ve lost 117 x Noman’s Friend (new total 47 - The Noman is almost gone).

I have a sneaking suspicion the melts were kinder than last year’s, but there we go.
