Proposal for a New HRR: The Chaos Loop [EDIT: It will happen!] [2nd EDIT: Please see the HRR group for this discussion, thanks.}

Hello. I'm writing this to gauge the possible interest in a new Housing Resource Route: The Chaos Loop.

The Chaos Loop would try to have a few rules as possible. Obviously, route-keepers would have to provide stuff for others to use and interact with. But it would be up to you to decide how much and what resources will be available. In addition, you would have the freedom (in fact, you would be encouraged) to change things around at your whim. The Chaos Loop that someone travelled yesterday could be a completely different route tomorrow!

Potential route-keepers: Would you like to encourage visitors to come to your street and provide resources for them, but don't want to be locked into 1 or 2 types? Do you enjoy redecorating your front street and changing things around? This could be the route for you.

Potential visitors: Do you like to wander through home streets not knowing what you will find? Would you like to provide items to other players but would prefer privacy on your own home street? This could be the route for you.

I would like to hear from you if you would like to participate as a route-keeper. Also, if you would enjoy visiting such a loop, I would like to hear from you as well. If there seems to be enough interest from both sides to make a credible loop, then I can get to work and make it happen.

Thanks for listening. :D

EDIT: Wow! Just wow - thank all you guys so much! Chaos Loop it is. :DDDD

There are a couple of technical details still to be worked out. 1) Which sign on the signpost we should use to link to each other, and 2) Creation of a discussion topic in the Housing Resource Routes group where anything pertaining to the Chaos Loop can be addressed (add/remove requests, ideas, etc.). With the game being down ATM, it's not sure when that will happen.

In the meantime, here is a list of people interested in being route-keepers so far.

If I missed anyone or got your name wrong, please accept apologies and my excuses about poor old eyes. Here is how it will work.

You will link a sign (to be determined) on your signpost to the person named below you in this list. (Not yet, we don't know which sign we'll be using.) I will link to the person at the top of the list, making a loop.

All you need to commit to is to have resources on your street that you are willing to share with visitors. You aren't limited by what or how much of anything; just what you would like. Feel free to change things around at any time. You aren't limited to harvesting-type resources either - if you'd like to make your street a food bank, or a cubimal haven, or nothing but shrimp*, do it!

I'll post a note here with a link to the discussion topic in the HRR group when I can get one - and if I can figure out how to make a workable link, lol.

*10 currants to whoever gets that reference. :D

  • I am totally interested, both as a host and a visitor! My yard is full of all different kinds of stuff, plus a full set of icons and a full set of machines. Woo!!

  • I would so do this. There are several things I was interested in providing through the regular resource routes, but being limited to one #1 resource and one #5 resource was restrictive. A Chaos route would be very fun. I mean, I know you could just start on anyone's home street and randomly pick the next person to visit, but a Chaos route would ensure that everyone visited is willing to participate.

  • Or maybe a sign option that would send you to a random friend's house (like Google's "I'm feeling lucky").

  • so would i! i don't know how much my home street would change (i suspect i will make big changes for stuff like Christmas), but i wanted to do a pretty street with spice and fruit, and i'm a lowbie so i don't even have enough to join the regular routes yet anyway
    Posted 6 months ago by Faranae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes! I've already indicated my interest in the group, I want in! Or on! Or whatever!

    *sings* Come and knock on my door...

  • love it. I would definitely join a chaotic route
    Posted 6 months ago by chilirlw Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is a cool idea! Come talk to me if you want to organize it within the HRR group system ... otherwise it would be great to link to you guys once you're up and running.

  • I would like join this route, I have a bunch of different resources.  I'll add a couple of machines and some icons.

  • Would love to join. The route I'm currently on exploded after earning street iMG was introduced. The only visitor I get now is a single glitch who comes by to hoover up anything I put out, use up all the fuel in my machines, and drain all the icons. I don't mind, it's what they're there for. But it would be nice to be able to 'spread the love around' a bit more LOL.

  • Oh, this is fabulous; thank you so much everyone who responded. I have some RL stuff to do, but later today I'll update the OP with a list of people interested in being route-keepers and we can get this thing started.

    @Zira: Good name suggestions! Thank you. I'd like to add another for consideration: "The Qurazy Quilt Route". (I may just elect that one so speak up if you hate it.)

    @Scarlett Bearsdale: Thanks so much for the offer of help! I'd love to coordinate with the HRR group, which is such a wonderful thing to start with. I need to contact you with regard to some technical details, so I will drop you a line when I get in the world.

    Thanks again, everyone! You've made my day *is starry-eyed*.

  • I wanna be a route keeper! This is a great idea! =^.^=
    Posted 6 months ago by starrkittyface Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hi Flowerry! Please sign me up. my yard is small at the moment but am going to be changing things about so this seems like the ideal route for me to be on while i experiment.

    Let me know if you need any help, it's a great idea for us random folk ;-)
    Posted 6 months ago by Miss Parsley Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Awesome! I was hoping there would be an "Assorted Stuff  Route" soon - to travel and to be part of.

    I want to join - me and my bubble tree & spice tree, jellis & barnacles & fireflies, piggies & chickens & butterflies, peat & dirt piles, metal & dullite & sparkly, and a couple of icons, just for the heck of it....

    p.s. I think naming it "Qurazy Quilt Route" might confuse folks since no Qurazy Quoins appear on home streets as far as I can tell.

  • I want it! good thought, would be a very fine improvement
    Posted 6 months ago by we are durza Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sounds good.
    Posted 6 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'll join - it sounds great :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Mildmay Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd be interested in that, both as a consumer and a provider. I don't want to commit to one type of thing, and I get bored harvesting just one thing too. Oh dear.

  • Flowerry...the names I mentioned weren't a critique to yours... I love the name Chaos Loop!
    They wrote themselves out of excitement and are now fighting out in the yard, convinced they have some hope of being used. 
    What I 'really' want is a personal street name :)))
    Posted 6 months ago by Zira Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Zira: Yeah, I figured that. :D  Also, LAWL!
    Posted 6 months ago by Flowerry Pott Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sounds like running around in regular streets.
    Posted 6 months ago by Jope Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Jope... that's the point!
    Oh,  Eris would be proud!
    Posted 6 months ago by Zira Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Chaos Loop!! This route name MUST contain the word Chaos! :-D

    also re:Jope, yeah it's not really different, but it does mean that people who you visit want to be visited, which is nice.
    Posted 6 months ago by Lettuce Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would definitely join a route like this.  I enjoy variety.
    Posted 6 months ago by Angharad Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Put me down please, Flowerry! I'm on the gas route but I only have 2 gas trees and various other stuff so this would be fab :)

  • I am also very interested in joining this group please.
    Posted 6 months ago by Dew E Morning Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 to leaving it "Chaos Loop"

    I'm interested in joining! My street's pretty short (and I like it that way), but I suppose I could argue it adds to the chaos?

    @Jope But at least this way, you won't find yourself at random dead ends.

  • Ooooh, this sounds like fun, and I'd like to have more visitors.  I have a bunch of stuff and a couple of icons.
    Posted 6 months ago by Aiglet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Please count me in. I currently have spice trees, peat, jellisac, dirt pile, and barnacles.
    Posted 6 months ago by Anatole Nymph Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Would love to participate in your group. I'm not sure what is required of a route-keeper but am willing to learn if you need more.
    Posted 6 months ago by Harmony MoonLake Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have a bog style street and would also like to participate. Thanks!
    Posted 6 months ago by Addie Sparkhall Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would love to be on this route and to travel this route!  I have a full set of icons on my street and ....some other stuff.
    I like the concept of being on a route but not having to stick to a certain resource.

  • I would love to be invited if and when you get it up and running :)
