I'm the world's worst perfectionist, and having had 2 pairs breeding full-time since it became available with no luck, I was ready to call it quits when this left the market. Not like a raging "I QUIT!!", but more of a "it will drive me absolutely nuts every time I log on if I am missing one" kind of mentality. I can't help it, and having to obsess over something so much was really kind of killing the fun for me. So of the 400 gems total I'd saved up since Leap Year (because I figured there'd be another time where there wouldn't be much time to get a hard one), I was down to like 65. I went to my empty 5th island and wrote a farewell message in gold tiles to my friends so that they'd know why they weren't getting gem-gifts anymore.

So I turned it off for a few hours, and came back with the intention of emptying the last of my gems and calling it a day. Well, go figure, I finally got it with but a few hours to spare. So I had to go back and change my message to "Never mind... got one!"

My sympathies go out to those who have been unable to get this. I certainly hope they make the odds at least a little better next month. At least we'll have the whole month this time!
