... are starting to drive me nuts. They are pixels people, no feelings! It is just words on the screen and pictures. nothing real there. nothing tangible.
Every now and then I work on the pig badge "Piggy Hash Slinger 1st Class" which is to raise pigs to adulthood from eggs. I don't buy my eggs, because i'm also working on the egg seasoning badges, so i make my own. I don't do it all the time, but i'm so close to being done. I finished the chicken and butterfly badges earlier today, i figured I would just try to finish them all off. I didn't, so I will have to do this again, but that is besides the point.
First of all, it costs me money to move pigs from my home, so i don't do this at home. Also, it takes time, and I admit while I am watching The Walking Dead, I am VERY LAZY with my game play. I don't mind jumping, especially to get coins, but moving from street to street is more annoying. Marrakesh Meadow has a set of islands. When I am jumping around to get the coins on these islands, yes, I will leave animals while I am working on the badges. If i am going to over crowd anyway, I might as well have fun with it. On the islands, they will disappear sooner {if I am wrong on that point, please correct me, although it won't change my main point}. Tonight, I got creative.
On the main island i named 4 pigs "King of Pig Island" "Queen of Pig Island" then prince and princess. on the next three, i put two pigs each named "Pauper of Pig Island" then on the final island, 2 "Outcast of Pig Island" Then I ran out of eggs.
Okay, so first off someone goes off on me saying i do this all the time {twice before i have done this, although not with those names}, i'm not creative, AND that there is no badge, i'm lying, i'm just trying to provoke people. Look, while I know there are those who get angry, I'm not doing anything wrong, and I don't do it with the intention of ticking you off.
Secondly, i did have a small handful of people who got a kick out of it. I even got some gifts. This was really awesome, and i thank the people that have a sense of humor, don't take it too seriously, can get over it.
If I still got anything at all for pigs, by selling them or even just for donating them, i'd home grow again - but for now, with nothing for me to gain but the badge, i see no reason to have to expend more of my energy just because the screen has words on it that say pixels are sad for a few minutes.
