Glitchdreams: SHEEP!

Yes, I had a Glitchdream last night in which there were flocks of wandering sheep. They were wry with their comments, also offered droppings and could be sheared for wool at will. Our clothing is, after all, kind of mysterious in-game. Plus the eventual additions of housewares and furniture would probably require fabric. (plus I really enjoy the Wallace & Gromit offshoot "Shaun the Sheep")

Plus, imagine the badges! Sheep Dipper, Sheep Shagger, Master Flocker, etc.

  • I love the idea of wry sheep. Fits well with the neurotic chickens, surf-bum pigs, and angsty teenage butterflies. (Though I am also fond of the paranoid bubble trees.)

    I was just thinking about fabric/clothing in the works, myself. To link production in would be an undertaking, but would fit really well in the game world as it is at the moment.

  • Sounds good to me! A sewing machine and sewing skill(s) could be added as well. Perhaps we could even make our own bags.

  • It's a baaaa-dass idea! A wider range of livestock would be great - I dig swine, but not all the time!

  • Heck -- in addition to sewing, what about knitting, or weaving? And--dare I say it??--spinning! You could harvest wool from a sheep, spin it, dye it with spices, and make it into things: clothing? bags? curtains or furnishings? Think of the quests! Think of the achievement tree! Whee! Not that I ever do any of this in real life, or anything. Me? Noooooo. Never. It's not a "problem"; it's a "collection".

  • Why not have Ranch Homes, Chicken Ranch, Sheep Ranch, Butterfly Meadow Ranch,
    Crab Ranch! List is endless. LOL

  • I like the idea of dyeing, but perhaps with the herbs rather than (or as well as) spices. I, personally, don't really give a poop about the herbs yet because they don't really do much for me and I can always find me some purple somewhere.

    We could also try to dye our own clothing, with occasional hilariously horrid results.

  • I'm just picturing the Serta sheep at the end of my bed. All of them just standin' there with their numbers on their sides. They're sooooo cute! Great idea!

  • Great idea! I've always thought whortleberries look like they would stain clothing pretty badly...and make a great royal purple dye, as well!
