Doing the same thing over and over again expecting something different.

Ah! A new room to play, perfect. THIS will be the event I finally make it to virtuoso and get a new Avatar! I can do this. Feeling motivated and excited! Ok, if I need 3500 total access passes to make it to this stage and have 25 days in the event, I need to receive 140 passes a day. That doesn’t seem so bad! Ok so with premium locations (needs a pass to play, not just expensive in cost to play) giving 5-8 passes per play that means I’ll have to play between 18 and 28 times per day…. Ok can I devote almost 90 minutes of play just to collect access passes? Sure! There is no way I will deprioritize this goal when more exciting life events intervene. Certainly not.

Ooo what’s that! A haunted lights/treasure box crafting challenge? That looks fun, I can probably stand to play and at least aim to get a rare chest, nothing crazy like a new desk decoration. Oo0, but that means the pass output is down to 3-4 passes per play. Yikes I am already behind in my needed per play per day. That’s ok I’ll make it up by playing almost 2 hours per day. (which totally doesn’t happen)

Fast forward 2 days until the event ends. Well... I am only at 40-50% detective, barely getting enough event passes to play the event location once. Blast! Another lost avatar. NEW GOAL, I suppose if I can just get the desk decoration I will be happy.

The closest I ever got was the Mayor’s House where I was at 95% when the clock ticked down and I did not make it.

So as I patiently await the release of the new event, I also await this same dialogue to creep in creating a solid delusion that THIS, no THIS event will be different and will be the one I finally win that handsome new avatar to replace my usual side profile lad.

Surely there are others who experience the same inner dialogue?
