high jum streaks

i wonder when silly high jum scores make sense, and when not.
whats your experiences and records?

when i was born as female [ruth alapai], 18th generation,  i saw a kitchen full of high variety and high calory food, so i dared to see if i could get to 20 jums.
this was more a test on the effects of getting near 20 jums, if it was worth it, when it might be woth it.
i almost got to 23 jums, but failed to find popcorn in time, so 22 is my record.

remarks:

this gets very silly very fast.
your first 11 minutes you try to get one jum per miute, and you eat whenever you CAN eat, as fast as possible, not whenever you NEED to eat (soon).
so your jum is almost as high as you age till age 12, if not a bit higher than your age.
this is greedy as fuck, because you eat many things with only one empty food thick, up to twenty times in a row, just to rush for high jums.
But it is only greedy, only if it fails to reach at least 15 jums.
It can be worth it when you reach roughly 17 jums, due to cumuulative effects of higher jum scores, you just end up being unable to eat anything, for very ling intervals.
and you likely already have 2 to 4 more jum foods in your backopack, it means no worries, for the rest of your days....

you are kinda forced into a break of jum-hunting around age 15, baby time break, but you also wait next to the fire, so you likely dont have to eat for 2 years, four tibes in a row.
thers a choice here, to feed many babies of others, tto eat more different food faster, or to give babies to others, when theres currently not as many different foods.
by the time yxou pass 17 jums, you notice, that your eating breaks get insanely long, and the 20th jumish eating breasks can last 5 to 8 years.

it helps if there are a lot of rabbits caught near the fireplace. and if the kitchen is full of goose/turkey.
having a backpack is important for this.
having a well run kitchen is important for this.
having a lot of kindling everywhewre is important for this (some jums need hot coals, and that asks for minor wasting of kindling sometimes)
having ketchup and baked potatooes gave me a great head start here.
having the more exotic mexican foods helps (i did not eat pancakes, but a high variety of spicy foods)
get your own carrots into the bakery, most people just make rabbit pie, this is fine, its just "mewh" very quickly. you likely need to make your own berry, meat and carrot, pie (and spare for others).

one important trick here is to grab a cart or horse at age 12, to hunt for jums that resspawn slowly, with a flint,
and hopefully return with a bagpack and cart of jums before age 14, for a baby time break., and you are pretty much set till age twenty and can just calmpy observe
and make sure to get high variety food made (and assist making it for others)

you ave to acoid the fireplace a lot, because this is where stabbings and force feedings happen.
while hunting for high jums, you must act neutral and avoid any conflict.
while getting my twentytwo jums, there where two murder incidents at the fireplace, and i just didnt give a fuck.
this just wastes too much time that you may just not have at any moment.
between babies you have a LOT of time assisting in smithing nearby, when you are at roughly 15 jums.

I reached 22 jums, and there was no fishing involved, and no meat pie.
I still ony got 4 kids (not counting sudden infant death) within the usual long intervals.

the utility of this is very situational.
it sure makes you ready for war or bears, when you do not have to eat for 5 minute long intervals, you can in theory hunt a lot of animals (bears) or people.
this also means, you could transport a cart full of water buckets, from further away wells, with not much of a road along the way.

main lessons learned:
scout the base before age 6, to see where what is being made, and if it is even worth trying to get high jums (it may just not be worth it at any moment)
scout for skewers early, they are sometimes further away than is compfortable.
learn ALL skewer recipes, egg and butter related things, and how to make ENOUGH popcorn.
