XD I stayed up all night three times(I only started to do 3 days but whoa'd myself down) during the first week and a half because I was having such a good time! Honestly this is the first thing I've been "hardcore" about in this game. And as for the 2000 seals, I only got the first 1000 during the first 2 weeks and near the end of that was taking 2 day breaks from the game. Since then I've taken lots of breaks (didn't play at all last week) and when I was on grinded for seals to get my beloved loincloth and now just go after the ones people in my fc and ls announce. I've been incredibly casual about hunting after the first bit; 2000 isn't really that many seals... o_O'

As for my attitude ruining the hunts I'm afraid I don't understand? I always waited and helped out as much as possible. And my "hardcore" scouting for hours on end: Who do you think located the hunts for casuals to run to?
