BIOSfeir's blog: "Bling (polishing mostly)."

Been doing that for a while too. It's my favourite thing to do on here when i want to switch off.
What i liked about it at first was just how relaxing it is to find a page with several hundred blings and polish your way through them all, tuning out while doing that. The longer you do it the more you notice though, like how some of the blings are really shiny and sparkly is the obvious one, some of them are quite funny or have rude names that are funny, some are really pretty, and the graphics on just about all of them are really good,  whoever makes them is doing a nice job of it. Surprised that people have the really expensive ones, like 100 or more credits, doubt i will ever have these but while other people are sharing theirs and letting me polish them i don't mind and still get the pleasure of looking and polishing them.

The site brought out trophies for polishing. I have got quite a few of these already, all the low/easy ones obviously but also the polish 10,000 LE Bling and almost got the polish 10,000 Bling in 48 hours one twice but the first time i ran out of polishes just over 9,000 blings in and the second time i was 4 polishes away from getting it when i ran out. Noooooo!!! I guess i need to buy a mega polisher power-up to get 10,000 or more but doubt my hands will manage it so not gonna bother.

Anyway, hopefully i get the polish 25,000 LE Bling and the polish 75,000 bling (later on when i'm at a higher level). I'm hoping to get the polish 25 credit from 2012 and 2013 awards but these blings seem pretty rare so it'll take a long time to get them, i still think i will do it. I also hope to get the polish blind box sets and the awards for polishing exotic bling but finding these really hard to get.  I'm pretty sure i won't get anything over the polish 10,000 in 48 hours as it hurt my hands each time going for just that award. I'd say most of these trophies are only worth going for if you really enjoy polishing bling as they will take some time and effort to get. I notice i'll need to polish 1,000 fuponies to level and have no idea how i'm  going to as i have only polished 4 in my whole time of polishing.

I see they are bringing back the old LE Bling. I really, really, really, hope to get a (make that several) love monster(s) that way. Didn't think i'd be able to get one but now they're bringing the older stuff back i'm hopeful. I also fancy trying for some other of the LE Bling awards (and free power ups with those) but not sure which i will manage coz of the cost.
And i'm hoping to get the full set of blooms that have just come out, they're quite cheap and i've no bills this month so think i'll manage that.
And on top of all that i'm hoping to get at least 10 Inferno bling for bombing 116 albums with one Cherry Bomb.

If you came looking for polishing award advice i have a little i'm prepared to giveaway, but not much as i don't want to harm my chances of getting awards for myself, plus anyone who enjoys polishing bling will be able to work out most of the advanced tips for themselves anyway.
1) Only go for the bigger awards if you enjoy polishing bling because you won't enjoy going for them otherwise.
2) Don't go for the big collections of LE bling. Everyone else is doing the obvious/easy way and so you'll have to keep a tight polishing schedule to continue polishing them, it's unlikely you can do this if you have a life. Slow and steady is fine, small amounts here and there go towards your count.
3) You should bookmark big collections of normal bling (1,000+) for when trying for the 48 hours polishes though. You don't want to waste time looking for normal blings when nobody cares to polish them and so any collection of them will do.
4) Rememer that although you want to get your awards maybe the person who owns the bling also has things they want. Like and rate them 11 just for being nice enough to leave their blings open for us, if their user name asks for pokes, adds,whatever then do that, check their page to see if they mention any awards they are going for and help them with that if you can. Most people are reciprocal on here so that probably didn't need saying but some people do complain on their profile about their blings being polished without these things so i'm mentioning it too.
5) It is disappointing if someone has settheir blings to not be polished but some have it on their profile that they'll open them if asked,so check their profile for that also.
6) Have fun. when it's not fun just stop and try again some other time when you feel differently.
7) Additionally (but not really important) i polish all their favourites, no matter what their credit value is, just because they're their favourites. I also send them a shitface if i see them online without one (they get more points and fubucks for that) but i do this for anyone i see without one who is online.

I don't have much bling that goes towards awards yet but what i do have at this time is;
1 fullset of cats from the blind boxes
1 Jesus raptor
2 25 credit normal bling (in my favourites)
Couple of squirts.

I will never ever like the pooping butt bling but i do regret not getting one as one gives you 100 ach. pts.
Thanks for reading.
