New skill: shipping

There has been some discussion about being able to leave items at other players homes (letterboxes, etc). Taking that idea a step further.... learn shipping :)

Shipping
(goes with penpersonship)
- ability to send a note from a drop spot
- ability to package and ship items from a drop spot
- allows you to ship from any location (dont have to be at a drop spot)
- gives ability to "hire movers" to take all your stuff to your new home

  • Penpersonshipping?  Interesting idea!  This could work as a business, like Fedex.  Just have to ensure the correct trust/security options are in place.

  • I'd like to see player mailboxes where you can place packages or letters. The penpersonship ability would allow you to sign a note or letter or package so everybody knows it originates from you. 

    I wouldn't add the ability to automatically ship from any location without being at a drop spot. I'd let players figure that part out on their own. I'm sure somebody enterprising would start a glitchex business themselves and hire newbies to run errands for them to deliver the mail. That would be more fun than if the game took care of that for you.

  • awesome comments!

    penpersonshipping! love it.

    I think it would be cool to have both a built in delivery and a player delivery... maybe the game delivers for you after a certain amount of time if nobody picks up the package to deliver?

    The idea of a mail delivery service was posted in another thread here too.  I laughed at the mental picture of a postal snail slowly making its rounds through all the streets.
