How about a Generosity Stick?

I'd like a stick that matches the livestock sticks in style, that basically says "Help yourself to this stuff" and can be put over a pile of things on your street that you are giving away. Perhaps it could "unlock" things set directly under it?  if you're planning on making more street-stuff lockable, which I fervently hope you do.

It could have a little Glitch hand on it, instead of piggy nose, feather, or butterfly symbol.

  • Although, I've been more of an advocate for items being unlocked as a default and providing a lock to keep certain things safe, there is something beautiful about this idea.  I could be convinced to get behind it.  Especially since doing it this way means that a Glitch's available action is one of kindness in the face of stinginess, rather than stinginess in the face of kindness.

  • Mmm...how about not leaving your stuff out?

  • I leave stuff out for people to take, deliberately.  It's nice when they take it in moderation, but I'm not planning on getting anything back, so when it all disappears it's no big deal.

    That said, I don't see anything wrong with an increased level of interaction and options.  There are some things already that are locked down no matter what, and maybe I'd like to leave an icon out for the first taker (because I'm just that crazy generous!).  And I don't see how having an obvious marker that shows which things are locked and which things are not would take away from game play in any way.

  • Crashtestpilot: what i meant was, if you want to lock and unlock you stuff, why not just bring your stuff out when you want it taken, and take it back it when you dont want it taken?

  • Why not just leave a note  "Free, help yourself"

  • I think really the big controversy is piggy feeders and collectors.  I think people would love to service their livestock properly, even those on the streets.

    With the meet collectors (and the stills), it'd be cool if you could make it so that they could not be taken, but still be collected from.

    Anyway, it's an idea, not a whine.  As always, the Devs are within their rights to take it or leave it, obviously.

    Jo Jo, that doesn't always work the way it's supposed to.

  • @Kronos:  Because that was not the feature request.

  • Something like this will happen (not this exact stick idea — which, btw, is pretty cool).
