Moons

The moons in the Kingdom of Loathing, Ronald and Grimace, affect several things. There are certain days, called Stat Days, on which stat gains are higher for one particular stat (as is the HP or MP gained from resting). The moons also affect Temporary Lycanthropy (obtained from blood of the Wereseal), the Grue familiar, and the effects of the Talisman of Baio and the Jekyllin hide belt.

For a rundown of upcoming moons see this moon page or this other moon page. You can also enter chat and give a private message consisting of "day" to Chatbot (/msg chatbot day) to be told how many days until the moons have an effect on a stat.

Here's how it all pans out:

• The names of the moons, Ronald and Grimace, are very similar to Ronald McDonald and the Grimace, two of the mascots of the McDonald's fast-food restaurant chain.

• As for the moons themselves, they are very reminiscent of the old Ultima series of games by Richard Garriott.
