Away from Glitch for a while...........

I have to be out of town on business next week, will be away for 7 days. I have 13 piggies, 3 chickens and 5 butterflies, as well as 4 trees. I have 3 piggie feeders set up. Will my home and pets survive that long of an absence? Is there more I can do to keep the homefront in good order until I return? My home is in Alokal, so the animals are fenced and can't get to the trees. Also, how many collectors can I set up and can they be outside the fence? How do you all plan your "out of town" getaways?

  • I don't think 3 feeders will be enough for 13 piggies in 7 days.  Do you have friends that can maybe pig-sit for you?

  • I can take a couple of your piggies home with me (just remember to name them so I know which ones they are) and let them nibble on my trees while you're gone.  Mail me in game to set up a time to come pick them up if you want.

  • I'm pretty sure you can't get a pig sitter because you have to be online to allow someone else to come into your house.

  • Yeah, I meant someone to care for the piggies in their own home.  There's only a handful of options that I can see: 1) buy more feeders (but is there diminishing returns just like with collectors?  and how many piggies per feeders are needed?), 2) move the piggies outside the pen so they can roam and nibble on trees (but will the trees have enough harvest left on them to keep all the piggies fed for 7 days?), or 3) find people to take some piggies home with them and sit them while you're gone.

  • sounds mean but..why not sacrifice..er, lend your piggies to your favorite god and then 'reincarnate' them when you get home?

  • You could just leave grain or meat or some food in the pen with them, it doesn't have to be in a feeder.  They'll still eat it :D

  • ss..cannot donate piggies to shrines anymore..nor sell to vendors..can only sell hog-tied piggies on auctions...its a big grr..yes.....
    So best to be sure they are ok while you are gone, is to loan them to the kind Glitchens here who offered...tc ..have a safe trip..and hurry back..we will miss you.....l

  • I just had the most amazing experience!!!!! Two wonderful pig angels showed up at my door and donated about a thousand feeders and grains and just
    Stuff!!!!!! Huge Kisses and Hugs to two annon. gentlemen!!!!!! ( *blushing* because I was too careful and didn't let them in my house.) No insult intended fellows. If you are in need of a feeder, please let me know. And now, I aspire to be able to be as generous and cool as those two!

  • And that, Li'll Missy, is Glitch at its finest.  For all the moments of disappointment when people steal my freshly raised piggies or take all the food and drink at parties, there are moments such as what you just witnessed that restores hope in the world of Ur.  :)

  • I agree w/Joojoo, that is truly what makes Glitch a unique experience.
