#### Hoarding

I'm not a hoarder. I collect resources as I need them. The only thing I have a lot of in my house is my cubimals, I keep all of the ones I get and pick up. My inventory consists of all my tools and about 800 spinach (i like jumping high) and that's about it.
I'm just curious. Anyone else not a hoarder? And if you are a hoarder what do you hoard and why?

- I'm not a hoarder either. I collect things as I need them. My only "hoard" ever (if you can call this small amount a hoard) was 1500some planks. Because of the things coming.

- I'm a hoardist.

- I am not much of a hoarder either - except planks (high-5 Fernstream) and, for some reason, plain crystals. Pretty much everything else gets sold, donated or given away.

- I'm a small time, organized hoarder.

- I am a pretty bad hoarder, and a lot of the items I hoard are pretty useless too... who needs 153 (and still increasing in number) crabpod headphones anyways? I don't really know why I hoard, I suppose the most logical explanation is that I'm slightly OCD and also that I've always liked collecting things (feathers, stamps, shells, etc when I was younger).
  In the future I have a feeling I'm going to be one of those old ladies that will get the health department called on them to remove their collection of "treasure" cluttering the house...

- I'm a total hoarder.
  Sometimes it's because I'm either collecting ingredients for a project or a massive cookathon, or I'm anticipating needing items in the future. Also, I hoard because I haven't gotten around to donating my hundreds of musicblocks yet.
  Plus, I think it's fun to set a silly hoarding goal of 1,000 of each kind of fruit, or 10,000 ingots, or whatever. No purpose, just to see if I can. And the introduction of SDBs practically dares me to try filling them up with something. :)

- I think I just enjoy going out into the world. I don't do the same thing from day to day so I make my plan based on my daily goal. Say, I want to make fuel cells then I spend the day exploring the bogs. I also like keeping a tidy house and I like keeping my bags super organized (or empty, whatevs). I pretty much sell or donate everything at the end of my game day simply because its like a fresh start. i have all the skills and all the icons and an almost complete set of cubimals so I really just like donning the hat of whatever I feel like doing at the moment.

- I hoard everything I haven't eaten or donated. I hoard crops (since I don't cook often anymore) and essences, soil stuff and jellisacs (until I suddenly decide to go on a crafting binge), wheat, urth blocks, fuel cells, everything from the grocery vendor (so I don't have to find one), 50 of each type of seed (again, so I don't have to find a vendor), emblems/icons, gems/jewels, musicblocks (at least until they get to around 20ish so it'll be worthwhile to use some powder), food in general (I used to craft for money, but have since decided to try not to care. they are now on display for if ever I desperately needed energy and can't go to AL).
  Once I can craft storage display stuffs, I'll probably hoard even more.

- I don't hoard, I just go out and collect stuff when I need it.
  Actually, I take that back. I hoard, just not on purpose. My old style home had a spice tree, since I cooked a lot initially. I stopped cooking, but still collected spice every game day that I played. I have a ridiculous amount of spice now and didn't even notice it until I wanted to make some quest related drinks.
  The crafting dialogue was like, "You have X,XXX spice remaining" and that really, really shocked me!

- Am not a hoarder, just collect everything I need per game day. I wish I could hoard though. Sadly, I never manage to collect enough and am struggling at the higher levels.

- If you don't have 5 digits of items in your SDBs then you're not being professional.
  Up your game.
  Kidding.

- I'm a hoarder of wood.... 53,848 planks of wood. Thank GOD for the SDB's.

- I prefer to call it putting things into "reserve" hee hee. I didn't collect huge amounts of anything before the SDB's. Now in anticipation of re-launch I've got a lot of *ahem* "reserve" of the finite resources like jellis, barnacles, fireflies...

- I am not a hoarded. I just have over 50,000 planks. I can stop whenever I want.

- Ha! Jessenya I just saw you wrote almost the same thing :D

- I only end up with accidental hoards from working on a badge or quest. I pretty much just go collect what I need and eat/drink/donate/sell the rest.

- I'm a failed hoarder. I have all the intentions but I really suck at follow-through.
  Posted 8 months ago by Sirentist | Permalink
- My hoards are generally due to lazyness -- easier just to dump it in a pile / SDB; rather than actually use / sell my loot.

- I am definitely a hoarder. Currently, the highest number of resources I have is 6172 planks. I wish I had more SBDs! I'm running out of space even though I've expanded my house as much as I could. I save things up just in case I need them in the future. It's a compulsive thing. If I run low, I'd have to get more!

- I'm hoarding 2750 chunk of sparklies for no particular reason. Probably a few thousand fruits and beans and bubbles too but I didn't really check.

- I don't hoard, I am prepared! If all of a sudden I need 3,000 Jellisacs? I'm prepared! I suddenly need 568 Silvertongue? Got it covered. 2,772 blocks of Peat? No problem. I'm prepared. ;)

- Currently hoarding makes sense. Assume that at some point crafting will yield imagination points. It has been said in an interview that XP will not translate to imagination in a linear way - stoot said there would be a curve of some sort. Thus, XP earned by crafting NOW could very well be translated to imagination at a 'discounted' rate when the switch occurs. Better to get the time-consuming resource acquisition phase out of the way now - harvesting, etc - and hold off on crafting until it actually DOES give imagination.

- I hoard because I like the doing but not the collecting. So I go collect en masse then put it all in a box and don't have to bother with it for a while.

- And XP earned by crafting NOW could very well be translated to imagination at a "reward" rate when the switch occurs. TS may want to reward people who aren't trying to exploit the game by holding back now.
  I'm not saying that either WalruZ or I have any better chance of being right. All I'm saying is that if you're going to make decisions based on one player's opinion, then you can choose from a full range of opinions. No one opinion, based on the hunches of a single player, is any more likely to be right than your own "hunch".

- I have been hoarding almost everything especially "project" supplies. I have no idea what we will need when the housing is ready and the new quests and skills begin so I am a little paranoid about it. I learned that from the Herb Wars. Now I think I am prepared for just about anything.

- I'm such a hoarder. And the reason why? It's how I enjoy the game. I find it fun to see if I can max out the new boxes with as many cherries as I can get my hands on.

- I like to hoard it, hoard it, I like to ------ hoard it!!

- LOL, An I the only one who uses the display cases to display stuff? I have my easter egg set, my extra emblems, a pair of crab headphones and will be placing all the other rare stuff that I can get my hands on in there.
  I guess it never occurred to me to place a large amount of stuff in them since I always have space in my inventory which is packed with bigger bags, toolboxes and a few of those specific bags.

- I hoard for street projects. And to supplement my icon habit.

- I want one of everything available now. I don't lust after what I cant get, but surely one of everything is a lovely collection, this means building up reasonable hoards of standard resources so I can make all the items. Extras are stored until I need to sell them to finish off my cubi collection.

- I'm like Sturminator, some things I hoard just out of laziness. Dump all my music boxes on the floor, and at one point when I hit enter they wouldn't all fit in the screen. Not sure how many I had, but took like 4 trips to the vendor to get rid of them. Also had about 6000 sammiches piled up from getting the cooking tools badge. I also seem to collect chunks of sparkly for some reason...

- I hoard. I do this mostly because I really enjoy doing things in batches. I like making a whole bunch of seasoned beans all at once, or I like making a whack load of tin at the same time. This also carries forward to getting resources all at once. I get on these missions where I all I want is gas and I hunt around, figuring out the most efficient way to get it. This leads to hoarding.
  I also really enjoy, especially since we can access our new houses from anywhere, being able to make anything I want at a moment's notice. This also requires hoarding.
  The kind of hoarding I don't do though is try to reach a certain number. Also, I usually only hoard resources that I genuinely use. (So i dont have 20,000 cherries... in fact, i barely have any because i really don't need very many cherries) I do however have a lot of ingots and planks. This is prep for furniture making.
  Basically though, I hoard because that is how i find it the most pleasurable way to play the game.

- I'm a pack-rat, not a hoarder.
  I'd like to think there is a difference.
  What that difference is, I cannot explain.

- I was a horder then I got on a badge collecting program. Ran through my stocks pretty hard now I just have the after effects left over....
  (A few hundred ingots all flavours, tens of thousands of planks, and jellies ;)

- Same as Kookaburra, hope we get to use those crystals one day!
  Posted 8 months ago by Electric Wizard | Permalink
- well maybe I'm just a bit of a hoarder......... I mean 58000 planks is not all THAT much..... since i got the woodworking machine I have worked through about 2000, so obviously that's just good resource stockpiling. The 580 crystals are SURE to be useful sometime soon. And the easter egg thing was so much fun I just happened to end up with 12000 eggs. I really hope we get some street projects again. Otherwise I will be needing a LOT more SDBs.
