~*Miso George's House Raid*~

---> The Appointed Time has been decided! <--
It will be... :: drumroll :: ... 8.52 PM (PST) ! --> DONE

{ Next dropping frenzy --> 10.05 PM PST } --> DONE & thanks to everyone who came, it was fun.

------------ Event is over but you can read the other stuff that led up to it, below ---

Further, I may or may not, for a fee, allow people into my house; all things dropped by me outside will be free of any charges.  *^_^*

-------- other stuff -----------------

Another Update! --> At a specific but as yet undetermined (will be posted later) time, I shall begin dropping items outside my door.  I have been informed they will stay locked to me until I move, so I'll just stay there until the appointed time dropping things until the first, second or third Frenzy begins (ie when I move and everyone gets a chance at stuff.  ^_^

*As a side note, it would be awesome if we could choose to just run an "open house" where anyone and everyone can come in at once whenever they feel like for as long as you choose the open house to be, so you don't have to bother with knocks or keys.  That would be rad.

-- other update follows --I have deemed there is plenty of interest in this so I will be doing it!  I just have to figure out exactly how to do it that will be the most fair and hopefully fun for all involved.  Will I give out keys then revoke them?  Will I simply have people knock and then come in then kick them out after a certain time?  Not sure, if you have ideas please post them!

*^_^* 

Also - a huge thank you to everyone who has offered to help me move.. the thing is.. I don't want to move all this stuff I've hoarded, I just want it gone so I can start afresh somewhere else.  :3

-- original post  follows --

OK if I get enough interested peoples I will do this.

What I was thinking is.. I want to move, but I have WAY too much stuff. >_<'
Sooo... how would you feel about, you pay me a small fee (say, 1000c maybe) and then are granted like 5 min. of access to my house, wherein you can take whatever and however much you like from my floors.

1 person would be admitted at a time and the price of admission could go down as amount of items to choose from decreases!  =)

??  Would anyone want to do this?
=)

  • ha great idea - sounds like you are quite the hoarder.

  • I don't need to take things but I'll help you carry the stuff you want to keep. :)
    Posted 11 months ago by Flowerry Pott Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh Cat Face you have no idea.  -_-'
    Pretty much all 3 tiers of my home are covered in *stuff* of all kinds.  It started out with my Icons and Still and then.. I don't know what happened.. all of a sudden I got way more than I could chew. :p

  • I will cart your goods to the tool vendor for 40% of the total value!
    Posted 11 months ago by sissyO Subscriber! | Permalink
  • lol .. thanks for the offer Pott, mostly I just want to get rid of stuff.

    sissy - I'm not sure what you mean ~O.o~
    But anything you take from my house if you come in and we do this, will be yours to resell however you like.  ^_^

    That's assuming I end up doing this.

  • We can help you move. I don't need stuff. (If the house loads for me, that is...) But why do you want to move when the new housing is around the corner?
    Posted 11 months ago by natsumi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just suggesting a service to empty stuffed homes for a portion of the value of the goods, as sold to the tool vendor. 
    Posted 11 months ago by sissyO Subscriber! | Permalink
  • natsumi I just like moving and experiencing all the different house types... since they won't be around after The Change happens.  And anyways we still have at least, what, 6 weeks(?) until It  happens.  :3

    Thanks sissy.  That's a pretty cool idea but I'm not interested in something like that at this particular point in time. =)

  • i would pay to take stuff, long as you let ppl know so they don't come to your house with their bags full :D

  • :) nice idea
    Posted 11 months ago by daniel5457 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd definitely give that a go! ^^
    Posted 11 months ago by Shiromisa Kaya Subscriber! | Permalink
  • OK!  I have deemed there is Sufficient Amounts of Interest .. ^_^... now to figure out the logistics of this.... ~O.o~
    Posted 11 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So, if you want to get rid of it?
    Um, Tool Vendor or Auction?
    No.
    Too much work.
    Better just give keys to everyone who responds.
    Your place will be picked clean, like a cow entering a piranha-filled river.
    Or anything in the path of a cohort of army ants.
    Please post more to this thread about the results of your efforts!
    This sounds EXCITING!

    Cheers!

  • i would love to do this!!! great idea Where do you live?
    Posted 10 months ago by Sir Rachel Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep Crash, essentially that's what I'm offering - 1 key for a small fee, for a certain amount of time, so my house *will* be picked clean.  :: nods :: That's the idea anyways.  ^__^

    Edit - Thanks for the offer Cardinal, but I'm not interested in moving it, just getting rid of it!!

  • You better have a 1 or 2 min. tine or the 1st person will grab everything.  He/She will inhale No-no and eat Hairball - Lol!  Otherwise, it's a good idea and may more than pay for the new place.
    Posted 10 months ago by Brib Annie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Good idea Annie.. I was just noticing in fact how much could be taken in just a couple minutes, as I was reorganising my things that I want to keep... HUM.. as I said, am still working out the logistics / how-to of this.  ^_^

  • remember Miso even your cabinet can be gotten into...so if u need a place to store stuff that u do want to keep my kids house is empty (she is out of town) and u can store there
    Posted 10 months ago by Gable875 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm pretty sure that if you give a person a key and they enter the house that way, if you revoke the key it will boot them out.  That way you could time it yourself at least and not have to worry about having anyone else have to be involved in that.

    eta: posted before the thing about the cabinets so not a reply to that
    Posted 10 months ago by Meuse Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh that's true Gable, if I let them in with a *key* they WILL have access to the cupboard, I had forgotten this.  But guests who knock and then let in *won't* right???

    Posted 10 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Miso, I would be happy to help you move, just let me know.  Good luck.  :) 
    Posted 10 months ago by Li'll Missy Brenda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • correct I believe that still stands...The key gives rights to everything....so if you need help storing let me know

  • Anything wrong with the knocking thing? I've never had that happen so I'm not sure how kicking out works with that - would it be a problem?
    Posted 10 months ago by Meuse Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Miso George, I think giving out keys and revoking them is best. I just think knocking and kicking out is just...I don't know, but For some weird reason I find giving out keys is just more convenient. Again, that's just my opinion, but it's your choice!

  • *shrugs* I think knocking would probably be safest, if you don't mind taking the time. Most people on Glitch are awfully nice, but occasionally there's a bad egg, and I feel like this sort of thing (free stuff!) would attract people like that.
    Posted 10 months ago by Shiromisa Kaya Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm like you, trying to have less stuff but of course the hoarder in me is intrigued.

    I think having people knock is safest.

    I wonder if you'll hear "what do you mean I can't stay long enough to grow potatoes???"
    Posted 10 months ago by The Cat Face Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd be in!
    Posted 10 months ago by Tennielley Boop Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just to make things a little more complicated, I believe with knocking, the person has the ability to re-enter at will until the homeowner reloads. So you wouldn't actually be able to kick anyone out if you use the knocking method.

    However you do it, though, have fun with it! It's a cool idea.

    Edited to add: New day might also reset entering privileges for knockers?

  • This idea is hilarious, and I'd love to see inside your hoarder house!
    Posted 10 months ago by Pii Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Make sure to take screenshots beforehand Miso! Give us other hoarders something to aspire to! ;)
    Posted 10 months ago by Wynella Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Actually George, I think you're making a big mistake.  There will be a period of economic turmoil when the housing reset occurs, and hoarded material will be very worthwhile both for use and for sale.  It will all be in "moving boxes", we've been promised that, and your house is going to be reset anyway, clean or not.  It may be too late to convince you, but in my very humble opinion you should just sit tight until dust settles.

  • I've seen the inside of your house Miso, the raiders you invite are in for a treat! If it would help with the moving I could give you a key to my house and you could use it as storage in preparation for your move. Only one other person has my key, I know her irl and I trust her completely.

  • If you need more people to do it I'll come by...but I'd really like to see it now just to admire the mass lol.

  • If you need help holding on to some things, just let me know!  

    And yes, screen shots of the before so the rest of us can have a goal to aspire to!
    Posted 10 months ago by Feylin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would hold on to the things that are a real bitch to collect in great numbers: fireflies, barnacles, jellisacs, earth, loam, etc... they're resources needed for block-making and other under-used skills,  so I'd gamble on needing them for housebuilding - whereas food, beans, bubbles, etc, are in relatively limitless supply, a couple of hours of harvesting can replenish you in your new home

  • I LIEK
    Posted 10 months ago by Electric Wizard Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If you are still taking names, please add me.  But I agree with the posts saying you should sell or hang on to the stuff for the new glitch.   Also, why don't you donate and level up?  I'm sure selling or donating will be an advantage for you.  Good luck what ever you decide.
    Posted 10 months ago by Peachesan Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I haven't read everyone's posts, but it seems like 1000c and 5 minutes would result in exactly one person having everything in the house.
    Posted 10 months ago by Nerd of Epic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I know this probably would help multiple people but why don't you just sell the house with everything in it. Then the person who buys it next will have a nice surprise when they move in :D
    Posted 10 months ago by Rikki Booben Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Rikki - I actually thought about that, but then it occurred to me, how much I'd like to share the wealth.  :>

    And Nerd of Epic ~ I considered this as well... I suspect I'll do something like, the first person to come in pays 2500c and gets 2 minutes (is that too high a price??) .. the second person, 1000c and 3 minutes... the 3rd person... 500c and 5 minutes... I don't know though, still working this out.  My head is all foggy from the antibiotics and OMFG MY FOOT ITCHES :: spazz :: XD
    Posted 10 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This sounds great! I'll get in touch with a couple of my friends, and see if they have any ideas on the logistics. In the meantime, please include me!
    Posted 10 months ago by Sweet Stuff Ng Subscriber! | Permalink
  • you should go by seconds... like 30 seconds.

    I'd totally wanna stop by to see what your house looks like... sounds absolutely amazing!
    Posted 10 months ago by Lei Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Miso George - You could randomly sort your stuff into gift boxes or smaller bags, depending on how many people are interesting in looting your.... er, I mean, benefiting from your generosity! Then at a time convenient to you, people could come to you and select a box/bag without knowing the contents. You may want to set a limit to how many each person can take, depending on how many people are interested. And of course, a small fee for each one makes perfect sense as well.

  • i'd be game for a house raid!  i like a timed entry appraoch, but am open to anything.
    Posted 10 months ago by Felicia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Pott, the gift box one is one that I had not considered, but makes a lot of sense.  However to actually pull that off I'd need at least 40 gift boxes I think.  -_-'

    Still working this out.. I didn't expect such an enormous turnout! ^_^  This makes it exciting but, slightly more difficult to make it fair, on my end!
    Posted 10 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • just thinking aloud but... what if everyone was allowed entry at the same time..?  ~O.o~ hummm

    also - my Icons will be safe from keyed entrants as well as others yes?
