Yep. The Ali's never stick around long, with the exception of the Skelicorns a few years ago, when they stayed for months. That has never happened again.
Last round, I practically wiped out my cabbage hoard and got a bunch of stuff I didn't want, to get the venomous kitsunecorn, which I did want. It mostly drops 2 energy, but I wanted it anyway. This time I'll pass. As much as I'd like a lady treeple, I won't use up the rest of my cabbages plus gems, to get a bunch of repeat prizes that I don't want or need.
Seconding the motion posted earlier......why not just put the new prizes in the tent along with other new things or at least desirable repeats? I promise we'd spend gems and buy cabbages that way too. Sitting this one out.
