Found some stuff... (Update: Sorted)

Right, so I found a few (non-empty) Bigger bags piled together, earlier in the day today while bouncing around in Uralia. Posting here as advised by a guide, as I am not sure what to do with them.

If anyone has lost/misplaced (Or got booted out of game while sorting these bags), please IM me in game or post here; please describe number of bags and contents, and where you left them, and I will hand them over to you. 

ETA: just thought I'd add that it is my sister, CottonCandy Angel who spotted the bags first when we were playing together in Ilmenskie. She handed them over to me when she saw they were not empty and she too is watching this thread. I thought I'd give up the search and distribute the contents randomly to newbies after a couple of days, but she wants to hang on to them till the thread closes. We're both still discussing about what to do with it all. So a lot of the credit belongs to her too really :) 

ETA/Update: Much relieved.  The mystery of the bags have been solved with the help of some awesome staff (aka Araldia!) Please refer to her post below for clarifications. Everything has been sorted and issue resolved.

Thanks to everyone who has posted here with ideas and encouragement! Hugs and happy Zilloween!

  • I often leave stuff on the streets for other people to take like awesome stews or random kindnesses. Fact is anything left on a street is freely available for whoever wants it.

  • While that's true, Octo, it is nice and awfully Glitchy of natsumi to make sure someone didn't accidentally lose something valuable.

  • I left a bunch of bags on various streets when I moved a month or so ago. Can't sell 'em and didn't have time to find people to take them. There's a good chance this is a similar situation.

  • I do know that people leave out stuff for others to find all the time... I do that too :) (and that's what I enjoy the most about this game.)

    But, the contents of these bags had me stumped. I am not going to say more because umm... these are some valuable things, even player specific, which is why I believe the bags were dropped by mistake and not placed strategically for someone to find. 

    I am also pretty sure that these contents can only be named by the player who owned them. So again, please do let me know. I will hold on to them till I can hand them over to the rightful owner.

  • Leave a note maybe in that place in case the owner passes by again?

  • Maybe they left the game? Just dropped everything rather than leave it in limbo.  I think after all this time it would be safe to call the property now yours :D Enjoy the rewards lmaoooo

  • ooh, I love a mystery (and an honest good deed doer..Natsumi)
    Still no one claimed it?

  • A lot of people don't use the forums so whoever left the bags may never even see this thread :p

  • Merope! That is a brilliant idea!

    Casarat: I have seriously considered that option that the player left the game. Which makes me sad :(

    <3 u too Buri :D 

    Not yet Ooola :( 

    And TomC: I know that too :( But I have to try. 

    I had a dev try to see if they could trace the bags back using teh contents but they had been left out too long, and now, the bags apparently believe that they belong to me now, like lost puppies. Oh well.

  • I think Casarat's explanation is the most likely, but you could keep trying for a week or so since it's quite possible someone only plays on the weekends or something.

  • If there are notes in the bags, you can see which player signed them.

  • If there were a badge for Altruism, you would surely have it, natsumi!

  • I've sent you some mail with the name of the Glitch you may wish to contact about these bags. I am by no means certain they belong to her but it's at least worth taking a minute or two to ask.

    It does me good to see how kind hearted the people who play this game tend to be. The greedy and dishonorable are a small minority in this community where as its usually the other way around in most games.

    If the bag does belong to her, please let me know. In fact, send me a quick note in the mail if you find the owner regardless of who it turns out to be so I can give you some kind of reward for your kindness. I figure if nobody claims it, then the bags and their contents are themselves your karmic boon.  : )

  • @Zauberberg: good idea, gonna wait until this thread gets no more replies :)

    @meltingSky (hugs) I got your mail and thanks for your suggestions. I have done everything possible to track the owner back using the contents of the bags with help from the devs, including using the player specific objects. There were no notes sadly :( I will mail the player you mentioned. I don't want or need rewards or anything, I think I have way too much stuff!!  (Hoarders anonymous :p)

    @ Dahlia (hugs and thanks!) I play this game because this game lends itself to being peaceful and nice, there are some truly lovely people here... I wouldn't be playing at all otherwise :)

  • Have you posted in your updates? You could post about it and ask that people repeat the message in their own updates, then the message might find its way to people who don't often read the forum and perhaps be seen by the bags owners or someone who knew about their loss.

  • @ thursdaynext I did post an update, with a link to this forum post, just once though. didn't want to keep spamming everyone. I'll do it again anyway. :)

  • I was so pleased to see the way the community banded together to find the owner. The mystery is now solved, although I can not really release the information about the ownership, rest assured we know what happened.

    Thanks Natsumi and CottonCandy for being such nice Glitchen.
