The Unofficial Thank You stoot and Tiny Speck Post

The title says it all. I remember reading about his initial attempt at a game that transmuted into Flickr (which I use on a daily basis) and I am glad to see that stoot's master plan to provide an awesome and always free MMOG is finally about to go live. More than that, I appreciate being one of the few, the proud, the 27,000+ who have experienced Glitch being built.

I know that giving birth generally involves pain and I have no doubt that the devs and staff will have lots to cope with in the coming months. I know that most of the folks I've interacted with here have been awesome and will likely be glad to help new users and staff alike. If there is anything I can do, let me know (I really mean that).

  • Dear Devs

    You know that we Glitchen adore you  for all you have given us, after all its not everyday you get given a world so wonderful, so amazing that we have been swept up in its magic and now consider ourselves truely at home here in Ur

    All through alpha and beta you have shown amazing  kindness, when we got stuck, when we felt lost, when things broke, even when we just didnt know what we were suppose to be doing, you were always there to help and always with such friendliness we never once felt stupid or a bother and that is an amazing thing considering we are all so different.

    We soon learnt to treasure you, to trust you and to consider you as our friends, some of you are close friends and some very close friends, there's not one among you of whom we would be afraid to ask for help or a little guidance, you are a bright light to remind us we belong here.

    There's a great warmth we feel when we see you in game it puts a smile on our faces, even when we catch you afk, its just too hard not to give you a little hug or a warm smooch and should you waken and join us in a little moment of play well then we have a memory to treasure for always.
    When we look back we will remember special moments with you in alpha and beta

    But looking forward

    Glitch is gonna pop into the world with no probs at all, after all what child ever had 27,000 midwives to help things go smoothly.

    We as a community will all be there doing our best, and having a heap of fun along the way. No tears at this birth that's pretty much a given, but if there are there will be 27,000 tissues to help dry eyes and 27,000 hugs n kisses to make things better.

    I am so blessed to be a part of this world.

    Thank you

    Also thank you  to all my friends, especially you Joe, for all the love and kindness you have shown to me, for all the help and encouragement, the laughs, so so many laughs, for all the bright tiny sparks that have lit my way. I am so excited to see you in game, when we begin again our journey into the World of Giant Imagination.

    Here's to Glitch - *Cheers*

  • Can't even begin to tell just how much this Glitchiverse has meant to me...Thank You to all staff, devs, contributors and, of course, Stoot.

  • I put this as a status earlier, but it got pushed way down:

    To all TSers: Thank you for everything. Ur would not have been imagined without your creativity and determination. Your patience in dealing with nasty bugs and unruly players is staggering. The best moments involve interactions with you. I loved testing and look forward to continuing to be around you in launch.

  • Wanted to add mine from this morning on home page as well. 

    We have helped; in so much as we could, to create a world full of joy and laughter, of hope and wonder. Though testing is done, we will continue to treasure and guard the vision of Glitch. Thank you TS for this momentous opportunity to be a part of the process of giving Ur life.

  • What everyone else said so eloquently.... 

    +1million+infinity to the TinySpeckers for creating something so magical and imaginative.

    And many many thanks to the others in beta with me (my fellow players) who have been an absolute pleasure to play with, converse with and work with to "build" the world.

    I look forward to seeing what new adventures are in store!

  • What BarryW and faereluth said.  I've enjoyed my 5 months here.  i appreciate the staff.  I'm looking forward (okay with a little trepidation) to the reset  and all the wonders that will be in store for us.
    Posted 15 months ago by Marla Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, TS, Stoot, and staff, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I'm sooooooooooo excited for reset, and for what lies ahead for all of us together!!! When I first came in late Alpha, I never imagined this game would be so much like home to me.  Old friends, new friends, great fun; words can't even express my feelings for Glitch.  I treasure it deeply. Thank you all!!!!!

  • I can't keep quiet about something that has so quickly become a passion.  Thank you giants for imagining my glitchie.  Thank you Stoot and every single dev for imagining the giants.  Every contact I've had with staff has been a joy, and the worst time I ever had playing Glitch was still pure joy.  You know something is rad when it attracts the caliber of the beta testers who I've seen pour their hearts, and their humor, and of course their intelligence into this project.

    THANKEN YE, ALL.

  • Thank you Stoot, TS and staff! I never thought this game would mean so much to me. You all surely have a higher purpose (and a great numbers of admirers that will grow very fast from now on)

  • I gotta say this. What I have I learned from Flickr and now from Glitch? How to treat your customers. How to build a community. I'm not exaggerating when I say I use these things I've learned, through observation and interaction, every single working day.

    Your influence goes beyond these sites, that's for sure. And I will always be interested in what Stewart and Team are cooking up.

  • Words alone cannot express the emotions that this experience has drawn out of me and infused in me. 

    Glitch is not a "game" to me. There is so much more to it and it shows in every pixel and every line of code that sketches the possibilities for us to explore and expand.

    Thank you.

  • I can not believe how many emotions I have experienced while playing Glitch... well done to all of those involved and I hope it continues to surprise and marvel. It really has been a ride this far and I can't wait to dig in once again after the reset.

  • Thanks for welcoming us into your world when our previous refuge shut down...it's been a great place to stay in touch with my virtual friends...or is it my friends virtually...(I always get those two confused)...and have some fun with them also.

  • +1 for everything written...
    On a roughish day I went looking for something to fill my time and stumbled upon Glitch and boy am I ever so glad I did.
    I have really enjoyed (very late alpha) beta testing and the friends made... I'm looking forward to the many more fun times ahead, even having to start from scratch again!
    Thank-you Tiny Speck, Stoot and all the Dev's that have put so much time and effort into making a great game and continuing to develop it for a long time to come! :)

  • Thank you so much, Tiny Speck, for creating this: this being the invite that turned up in my inbox at least a year after I signed up for it, a thing for a game that I had forgotten about, that totally exceded my hopes of community and play and blew me away.

    (Also, damn you for creating such a good product and continuing to develop it into more interesting forms of itself! Those hours of play! Argh! No, joking, joking.)

  • Thank you all for such a fun way to waste my time and it really made things better for me when I was in the hospital. The staff has been so supportive of my related projects and so have the players. I'm being more creative artistically than I have in years. I've developed fantastic friends and relationships in such a short time that I didn't realize was possible. I could not have done it without Stewart Butterfield and the rest of his insanely hard working team.

  • What can I say that hasn't already been said, better?
    I signed up for Glitch a long, long time ago on a whim. When I finally got my invite and started playing, it seemed like a quirky but fairly run-of-the-mill MMO. So thanks, Tiny Speck, for completely subverting my expectations: for creating the world in which such an amazing community grew and will continue to grow. I'm really excited to see where you're going with Glitch and I'll definitely be sticking around.

  • I feel so privileged to be part of this community.  I have grown closer to old friends and made incredible new ones.  I have seen, as emdot has, a wonderful example of the kindness, patience, and thought that goes into creating something that people will really love.  

    I also have a new definition of the word "soon."

    I look forward to the days to come with all of you.  Especially you.  No, not YOU - behind you.  Yes, you.

  • After a heady friday night of beer, I found most of this post a little tl;dr (sorry, but I do agree with the sentiments I'm sure all of you have put forth. It's been a long day though!).

    I'd also like to make special mention of stoot's awesome naming policy - that made my day more than once.

    And i'll throw in with the thanks to tinyspeckers (such a great term, thank you whoever i stole that from) - a fantastic job, amazingly executed =)

  • It has been an amazing year and a bit. 

    Thank you so much for you hard work.  I feel so happy to have been part of things and to have been able to contribute a tiny little part.

    It is hard now to remember how basic it was, we have come such a long way since alpha.  Makes me so optimistic for the future!  Bigger and better to come I am sure.

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed.  You are all wonderful.  :-)

  • I was a player of the Game Neverending prototype; The Real Game has been a long time coming, but definitely worth the wait.
    Posted 15 months ago by Fnibbit Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can't even express how wonderful it was to be part of this process. The development team was open and supportive of the players, the development process was very transparent and inclusive of player ideas, the community was instantly accepting and filled with wonderful players who've all been so kind to me. 
    I'm so happy I gave this game a chance, and then another chance, and then another chance. There were times I thought I might not come back, but it was the solid foundation of developers and players that made me give it another chance time and time again, even if I didn't have the most time to play. 

    THANK YOU!!!

  • I also would like to thank everybody who is involved with Glitch. I am now again part of a community, after playing Faunasphere for a long time and making many friends there. Faunasphere was shut by Big Fish Games with only minimum notice, we were all heart broken, and still are. A lot of us are now here at Glitch and very happy, being in touch with each other. I tried a few games to get that community spirit, but yours was the only one I could find that satisfied my desire. I have found many new friends as well as old, here. THANK YOU. But can I ask one thing PLEASE MAKE A RED TOP HAT, as the saying goes Red Hat No Draws, The socks I wear took away my pants, so I have a bare Arse!!!!!

  • Please let me add my gratitude as well.  I feel privileged to be a part of this experience.  I feel like TS has worked long and hard, done the ultrasounds, the vitamins, the Lamaze,etc.  and has just given birth to a lovely, healthy baby named Glitch.  You have counted the toes and fingers and checked that all parts are accounted for, and now, TS you must wait. You can't know just how your baby will develop, only that it will, and know that you will likley have tears and joys, hopes realized, and unforeseen disappointments, as Glitch grows and develops.  Please know that you have thousands of supporters willing to nurture, shape and assist you as Glitch grows, in any way we can. And know especially, that with such good genes,and skillful parenting, there is no way it is going to be anything but a huge success!

    Thank you so very much for letting me be just a little part of it!

  • Glitch has changed how I view the world, but I have to be careful because the neighbor looks at me funny when I try to pet the sapling tree in his yard. And let's just say that it's probably a good thing that there is a big chain link fence between me and the chickens that I ride past on my bike every day.

    Thank you for letting us frolic inside your collective imagination! <3 <3 <3
