I noticed that when the temporary pledges expire it goes back to "Awake" instead of "Displeased." Does this mean you can never get more red cookies after the first pledge, or does it go back to Displeased eventually? I'd much rather have red cookies than pay 666 trillion and give up 20% of my income permanently.

It's togglable (sic?), I assume so that you can turn it on when you're paying attention to golden cookies and then off when you're idling. The price still seems questionable.

Buying One Mind changes golden cookies. Before One Mind, you get one of the following when you click a golden cookie:
1) Gain the lower of 10% of your cookies or 30 minutes of cookie production
2) Gain 7x cookie production for 77 seconds
3) Very rarely, chain cookie
4) Very rarely, 10x cookies from clicks for 13 seconds

After buying One Mind, you have a chance of getting a blood cookie instead of a golden cookie, which give you one of the following effects:
1) Gain the lower of 10% of your cookies or 30 minutes of cookie production
2) LOSE the lower of 10% of your cookies or 30 minutes of cookie production
3) Halve cookie production for 66 seconds
4) Infrequently, chain cookie
5) Infrequently, 666x cookie production for 6 seconds
6) very rarely, 10x cookies from clicks for 13 seconds

The chance of getting a blood cookie is 0% if the Grandmatriarchs are appeased appeased (which happens after buying Elder Pledge, and lasts for 30 minutes), 33% if awakened, 66% if displeased, and 100% if angered.

Buying Elder Pledge temporarily makes it so clicking golden cookies reverts the possible effects to the first list


I'm pretty sure that unless you haven't refreshed the page at all since last night, golden cookies and red cookies (which have the second list of things) are separate entities.

Depending on how the Grandmatriarchs are feeling, there's a chance of the appearance being a blood cookie (0% if appeased, 33% if awakened, 66% if displeased, 100% if angered), but they're both treated as golden cookies by the code.

I think it stops the negative golden cookie effects that show up after One Mind. If you keep all the Grandma bonuses between those two, maybe it balances out?

The cost of any item, from cursors to time machines, is (item's base price)*1.15^(number of that item owned). So your 200th time machine would cost 123456789*1.15^199 = 1.4804x10^20 cookies.

e: And yeah, having Elder Covenant active stops Blood Cookies from spawning.

For the record, if you were making 1 trillion cookies per second, it would take you four years to make all the cookies necessary for that one purchase, not counting all the time it would take to get up to 199 time machines.
