I just got the candy glitch badge (Give candy to 499 other people) thanks the the kind guys at Somewhat Sump! :) Now who else has it or are very close? I'm quite curious!
I got it early yesterday morning :) I had been just buying pumpkins and making candies for several hours the night before, haha. And then I decided to just run around passing out candy to go for the badge. It actually was a lot of fun, and I actually really liked running around tossing out candy as opposed to just standing in one place for several hours, just because.... less lag and it gave me something to do during the time, hehe.
So... those of you that are thinking "Hmmm.... I don't really want to stay in one place for several hours"; just run around passing out candy as you go! :3 And then you get lots of nice scenery! (and if you haven't been everywhere yet, you can work on those completist badges!)
Just got mine at Somewhat Sump. That place is crazy, but awesome.
Really tricky keeping track of who you've given too, and how many, so I was giving to everyone that entered the space. Plus ramdoms while walking around as well.
The option to give via clicking on the item / give menu is a bit confusing, maybe if it was ordered with newest players in at the top left it would be easier to keep track.
Is it ordered in anyway and I'm just not seeing it?
Just got mine - thought I was never going to get it though. Deffo couldn't have done so without the help of those at Somewhat Sump. an omg yes so hard to keep track - I think i must have given out double the Candy needed for the badge due to mistakes where I handed out a stack to one person or gave to someone i had already given to.
Bonus: my last candy went to a lvl 9 player who seemed a bit confused by it all... yay!
I found that the Sump was ok. Too many campers/repeats. Best to just hit it a couple times (I was there twice) far enough apart that a good chunk of the people change. Give out 30 or so and leave.
Wandering is good & fun and I did ok doing that, but you run into problems with moving targets & folks too far away. So it is not ideal for the focused Candyglitch on a mission (still, as the above posts attest, totally doable!) The mines are great for stationary targets as are the firefly hunters in Chakra Phool. But my best success as far as a candy per glitch per street ratio was Groddle Heights.
Got it yesterday. Made candy like mad thinking I'd end up giving out a lot more than 499 in the quest for 499 people. But a combination of a couple parties, somewhat sump, running around, and hanging out around tool vendors got it relatively easy. Now I have a ton of extra candy, so I keep giving it out.
I got it this morning.
Couldn't have done it without some truly wonderful people at Somewhat Sump!
I got the halfwayish badge last night thanks to them, then the rest I had to do the hard way, as my computer just couldn't deal with the crowds there last night, and after a few flash crashes and me persisting on reloading, eventually my computer decided it wouldn't let me on Glitch at all, so I thought it was safer to just find passersby around Ur and drop candy on them.
Thank you to all the great people who were at Somewhat Sump! :)
Got it a bit earlier. 4 trips to sump in total (am and pm both days) for sa good number, plus the tool vendor and a few drive by candyings. Everyone was great TBH in all locations and I made a lot of friends...
Now to try and eat 350 candies before the event ends ;)
I spent a few hours at Somewhat Sump yesterday and became a Candyglitch there :D Good thing I got it when I did, because the browser crashes were getting more frequent.
Just got it today after 3 hours and I brought in 250 candies and went crazy in the Sump, dropped off all the candy that I had after I got it on everyone else so hopefully it helps :3
wish we could see how close we are to finishing an achievement, any of them. I have the 200+ badge, but what with giving candy out to people I've already given too (I know I have, I can't remember who's who), be nice to know. Or a way to know if we have given to a particular glitchen so we don't duplicate effort for a quest or achievement.
I got it in Somewhat Sump, around 24 hours ago now. Had a lot of fun doing it, started out with no candy, eventually ended up making around 150 to reach 499. Now I'm trying to make enough for the eating badges!
I got it at Somewhat Sump, I started last night, then went back and finished it this afternoon.
This was my first experience of the Glitch community aspect in-game and I loved it!
Even through the browser crashes and the wire frame Glitches due to the sheer number of people there it was a lot of fun.
Got mine in Somewhat Sump as well - my finger clicker is on ice.. that's a lot of candy to pass out.. not counting the ones that you doubled, tripled gave to.. lol Thanks all - besides losing one of my bags and giving away my shaker it was great fun!
Started in SS, got up to the 200+ badge, but got tired of crashing. So, traveled a bit, exchanging candy with Glitchen all over. So much fun. Have the badge now.
I left the Sump yesterday thinking I would never hit the number as it was taking so long, but got back to my neighborhood and boom, the first person I gave candy to.
I got it about a day ago - a couple of stops at Somewhat Sump before it got so crowded I just kept getting Flash crash - and then just handing them out as I went on my daily rounds. Finally got it in East Spice. It was lots of fun, randomly handing out sweets - made new contacts and only one person shouted "stranger danger!"...
I did nothing but farm pumpkins and make candy for the last 2 days, and I finally got it today. I celebrated by joining a party space and then EATING ALL THE CANDY I HAD LEFT OMG ALSO THERE WAS THIS PURPLE FLOWER AND SOME REALLY INTERESTING DRINK THAT TASTED FUNNY AND WHY IS EVERYTHING SO... SO... CROMULENT? ithinkthewholeworldjustturnedtoaratherinterestinglilacscentedbrowncoloredgoopandnowwhatisthatoverthereomg
I got it at the Somewhat Sump party as well, most of the candy I got was rather well handled and a little dirty. The eating candy badges are a different matter altogether....
Got mine at a party in Toxic Moon a few minutes ago, which was good because I did not want to go back to Somewhat Sump. Also have made it to the 79 eating badge. Those are harder since you can only eat 11 per game day.
Got it in the Sump last night after what seemed like an eternity, but still, it wasn't hell :) Thanks to all glitches there, and elsewhere! Now I'm working on permanent toothache.
I got the Candyglitch last night. I went to Somewhat Sump a few times (I live near there), and also just gave candy to people randomly on streets as I wandered. I never had more than 40 pieces of birch candy in my inventory at once (only gave out about 5 pieces of other candy). Mostly at SS I received candy as fast as I gave it, so I pretty much always left with about as much as when I started. I don't think I even made 100 pieces, all total.
So, thanks to everyone who shared candy!
Now I think I might eat some!
I didn't even know there was a badge for handing out 499 pieces of candy. I thought I was done when I handed out five..LOL
In saying that, who only knows how many I have handed out since the first five.. so..maybe one day LOL :-/
