just wanted to have a sad little whimper

I've been playing Glitch since Alpha and I've heard a fair bit about griefers and trolls but never experienced it. But (and yes this is mild) I've just had a large herb garden, vege patch and freecycle pile completely cleared out on my home street & nothing left in return. I know people can do whatever they want in your street, if you leave it out then it's fair game. But it still made me really quite sad. 

*whimper over*

  • You know, your b0tler will tell you who was there... REVENGE!

    Also, if you need anything replaced I'd be happy to contribute. :)

  • onelittlebird, your botler will tell you who was there.  You can then block them and they will not be able to visit your street again.

  • I hadn't unpacked my butler at that point. But, I'm really looking forward to knowing that! :)
    no, i don't need anything replaced but thanks for offering! 
    I was just a bit sad although I shouldn't be surprised

  • I've only exhausted something once but I singlehandedly fixed it with my ridiculous amount of resources.

  • Left you some packages. Would have given more but the b0tler can (apparently) only hold so many :(

  • Sorry to hear you also got hit by the self centered gatherers in the game.  Apparently some folks are taking just about anything and everything. I had 5 shiny rocks of no intrinsic value taken off my street yesterday.  They were decorations, and it's not like you can sell them for anything...but yet...someone felt the need to take them. Pretty silly, quite frankly.  If only I had my butler unpacked at the time...sigh. No biggie for me, I'm just making more...just hoping my cheese poking finger doesn't get too stinky...

  • Yeah, that's why I put all of my plots inside and my trees and peats outside. =/

  • That's sad =(
    I'm glad the botlers tell us who was there. I haven't really had an issue and was offline for a while and expected to come online and find all my resources totally gone but to my amazement they had be replenished! ( im on the spice & sparkly route) For every bad glitch there are tons of awesome ones =)

  • if i've left it in my front yard, it is there to take.

    i do not have expectations about what kind of person will take, or what they will leave.

    the things i leave are gifts.

    sometimes people leave things, but often not. 

    since what i leave is there to be taken, i am not sad.

  • I do realize I need to adjust my attitude. Hence, just a little whimper. :)
    I love doing more on people's home streets so I guess I was surprised. Still, I'm not going to move my gardens into my house, I'm still hopeful for the lovely Glitchen that do visit.

    b3achy - i have stupid amounts of cheese if you want me to poke some for you. :)

    foolbunny - thank you! And I never realized the butler worked like that. it's very very cool.

    Also, I am glad he tells you who visited. A little accountability might stop some people being selfish?

  • At least you got some imagination from them doing all that on your street?

  • the one part that does amuse me; I probably got imagination for someone harvesting clean my herb and vege plots?

  • yes, everything that Glitchen do on your street will give you iMG !

  • *Big Hugs* I have public herb gardens and I like to leave out snacks for visitors. Yes, I get cleaned out at least once a day by those that don't want to clean up their mess and take everything in one swoop, But it is outweighed by the kind and generous other glitches that stop by. Don't let the selfish ones ever get you down :)

  • All I'm going to say about this:
    "You know, your b0tler will tell you who was there... REVENGE!"

    Someone just revenged and blocked me when I only visited their street as a bridge and touched nothing. They came to my street cleared out everything I had then put a block in place. All I can figure is that one of the people that they knew cleared them out and I got the blame for the whole thing. So, please be responsible when using the butler as a snitch... s/he may just be lying.

  • @ Orchi Da Pea: So, mostly, that was meant as humor. Sorry if it didn't strike you that way. MY version of revenge, if I were so inclined toward such things, would involve something far less sinister than stripping your resources - I'd likely just block you and/or make a snarky update about you.

    The botler's do not lie, but their list may be outdated if the last people who visited came by on a game day that wasn't the same day as the fwaggery (I am under the impression that they only keep track of the most recent game day's visitors - though I could be mistaken). But, it's crappy you got blocked for someone else's misdoings.

    HOWEVER, are you sure you're the only person that the "wronged" player blocked? Perhaps they blocked ALL visitors to their street? For that matter, are you sure that the person who blocked you did so based upon their getting screwed by someone else (did they send you mail, leave a note or a message with your botler to explain it)? Maybe they're just a fwaggin jerk who cleans out streets and then block the owner so there cannot be retaliation. Are you actually offended that you were blocked by someone willing to screw with your street?

  • *hugs onelittlebird* Sorry to hear that hun. Sometimes on my adventure I found homestreets with empty plots but usualy I bought no seed to plant on em :/ . As for other things like cleaning em and replenish, I do my best as my resources avaiable. if I can't replenish then I will shout to HRR channel.
