#### [Test Over] Help us Test Butlers!

Update: Sorry, we are done testing for now.
Thanks to everyone for helping out!
---------
We found some dolls who said they want to come and work as butlers. But, we are still working on training them.
If you would like to help us, you can find them at the following locations:
www.glitch.com/locations/LH...

This is a temporary stress test and will probably last an hour or two unless it gets too hectic. Don't worry, though - the butlers will be back soon.

- Omg going ASAP! This will probably be soooo cool.
  BTW, the first link goes to Jade's home street, the second and third like both goes to kevbob's home street. Why are there 2 for kevbob?
  Edit: Ooh, yay. It changed!
  Edit 2: They were sooooooo cute. kevbob's ate my 1 metal rock. That's a butler for you :). Wish we can have them soon!

- After noting these poor beings' soulless servitude I feel compelled to write a 3,011 word treatise demanding their emancipation.
  Just kidding. Looking forward to having my own.

- adorable - and so polite!

- I like them! It would also be cool if we could ask our own butlers to hold an item for a certain person. Will here be different styles available?

- Ooohh shiny! And adorable!

- wow, sorry for the wall of text!
  Posted 7 months ago by glassy | Permalink
- Adorable!
  Posted 7 months ago by SeerQueen | Permalink
- please oh please someone post a screen shot
  Posted 7 months ago by jello's landscaping | Permalink
- Sorry about that, glassy! We'll send him through a remedial training program tomorrow.
  Posted 7 months ago by Etna | Permalink
- Tooooooo cute. I swear I laughed out loud (really laughed out loud, not just thought 'lol') when it fell over. I must have a mean streak.
  2 quick thoughts:
  - need some way of indicating whether it's in help mode (so typing a command explains it) or actually waiting for a command
  - seemed I had to type messages several times. I'd often get back a second request for the message or a 'can't help you with that' [ETA: oh yeah.. what glassy said]
  Can't wait to see them again!

- "What exactly do you do?"
  "I buttle, sir."
  They're so funky-cute! I like.

- It seems like a message with the word message invokes a message command rather than sending a message.
  Posted 7 months ago by LokiPDX | Permalink
- @Jello www.glitch.com/snaps/PCR4R9... - this one was Etna's Butler
  Posted 7 months ago by Faereluth | Permalink
- I'm guessing they aren't monkey butlers. If they are...all the monkey butlers in the world will be in front of my house.
  Posted 7 months ago by OMG BACON!! | Permalink
- Not sure what these are supposed to do since there are so many folks trying to use the three that are out there now.
  Could we get some explanations of the commands here? Thanks.
  Posted 7 months ago by Tonya | Permalink
- I think it should be called a BOTLER.
  Also, if it's too full to accept a package, it should say so (I see the one at Kevbob's does that. Jade's didn't.). It would also be helpful to be able to click on the botler at choose a "give" action, rather than having to drag the item.
  Posted 7 months ago by Pascale | Permalink
- Or how about a BotlUr?
  Posted 7 months ago by Empyreal | Permalink
- That is soooo cute and un-robotlike. Trust TS to do the unexpected :) Can't wait until we have our own to play with!
  Posted 7 months ago by Rowan Croft | Permalink
- I think there should be a different term from "summon" which has a very game-specific meaning already.

- May 17 9:45:54PM You How are you, Jeeves?
  May 17 9:45:54PM Jeeves the Butler (Etna) I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.
  May 17 9:45:59PM You What time is it?
  May 17 9:45:59PM Jeeves the Butler (Etna) I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.
  May 17 9:46:07PM You What's the meaning of life?
  May 17 9:46:07PM Jeeves the Butler (Etna) I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.
  He's no Siri. :D

- So mean and Spammy! the one on Jade's street keeps on saying: I'm sorry i cant help you right now!
  Posted 7 months ago by Taco Assassin | Permalink
- Tonya - click on the butler to open an IM window, then type help to get a list of commands. Unfortunately this is hard when the butler is blocked by people. Pascale - "come here" also works.
  Posted 7 months ago by Etna | Permalink
- will it pick up junk on your street? because that would be helpful.
  other than that.....yah its nice, but i probably wouldnt use it..
  Posted 7 months ago by ☣ elf ☣ | Permalink
- Taco Assassin - We are working on it. But also, things will be better when there fewer people on the street.
  Posted 7 months ago by Etna | Permalink
- Dragging a package to the butler isn't do-able when there are lots of glitchen in front of it. With a player you'd click on them and use 'Give Something' but that isn't an option with a butler.
  Posted 7 months ago by Josiah Thimblerig | Permalink
- Even when clicking on the Butler up close, does not bring up an IM window.
  Posted 7 months ago by Lunarsolar | Permalink
- Feedback: The botlers are very cute. When I came home though, Kevbob butler IM didn't disconnect. If I type help he says "Sorry, I have to go do something right now", but the IM is still open. Maybe it's supposed to be that way and I should just click the X, yes? At Butler Jade's home I left her a message......curious as to how it is delivered. Frog?
  The bots are great!

  Posted 7 months ago by Fernstream | Permalink
- kevbob's botler was very polite—though, as of yet, not entirely helpful—still, the High Whimsy Quotient more than made up for the fact that he couldn't help me with much of anything!
  Posted 7 months ago by Abbey Rhode | Permalink
- they are visually adorable, yes! awesome:) love the dance animation!! i wonder what else... i tryed to package a potion and it didn't worked... he accepted juice... i didn't understood the other options...

  Oh, just now noticed there were different looks of them. I was at Etna's street and it was the cute bunny. I was going to visit the others but then the test was already over, :(
