Re: Pokemon GO
I send gifts whenever I can, 20-30 a day on average. I only open them when I have room for eggs. Even then, to be honest, I prioritize non-California Icrontic Fam because of Distance. I'm 3/4 of the way to my Pilot badge and once that is done I can change that workflow.
@Massalinie and everyone else, If you want me to stop opening when we only have one day left, no problem, just let me know. I'm happy to pop a lucky egg whenever (they just take up space in my bag at this point) or hold off as long as you wish.
I'll be reaching out individually when anyone gets close to a level up with me for maximum gains also.

Re: Pokemon GO
I haven't been very good about getting enough gifts and making space to open everyone's every day. But does anyone want to try and pop a lucky egg and ultra-friend at the same time? It's 50k XP per person doubled to 100k each if we do a lucky egg together.
I have 5 more days with Karen and @BobbyDigi, 10 days for @Gargoyle and 15 for @QCH, @RyanFodder, and @malia, 22 days for @drasnor ... sorry everyone else is behind that at the moment. My plan was to try and hit ultra with like 5 or so people and then do the next 5, but now I'm thinking maybe we should all get to 1 day remaining and wait.
If anyone else has been gifting for friend points, any thoughts on syncing up and have an egg and ultra-friend party in like a month or something? Think of the XP! :-D
Re: Any watch nerds on Icrontic?
Got another in the mail today. It is a Vostok #431307 Komandirskie "Paratrooper" edition. This is a remake of an old Soviet Vostok watch. It had a Vostok movement 2414A with 17 ruby jewels, luminous hands (no longer the radioactive type) and locking screw down winding cap.

Re: Any watch nerds on Icrontic?
What can I say. I am obviously into the Ruski watches and just scored another. This is a Buran Square with a Vostok 2614.02 movement. This was a deal and is one of the best looking watches I now own. It is also almost silent for a mechanical watch.

Everyone is talking about new "lucky" Pokemon which will cost less to power up, and apparently come from trading, but the real highlight of today's update:- You can now sort the Friends List and assign nicknames to Friends
- Gifts may now contain Stardust
- Trainers now receive XP for sending Gifts
- Added the ability to delete unsent Gifts
- Various bug fixes and performance updates
You can also view where gifts came from on a map, now. That's pretty sweet for geo geeks like me.
