  • This game is absolutely preposterous!

  • Personally, this is my favorite feature since … almost ever. The mad scramble to find a random kindness rainbow or futz around to do a High 5 when someone comes past means that a lot of the simple acknowledgement I want to do of other people's presence didn't happen — they were gone by the time I got it together.

    Plus, the mood boost means finally there's a simple social means to giving each other a little better spirits. (ETA: Oh, and the fact that the "stamp" moves a little slower than you so you can out-maneuvre it is a lot of fun.)

  • This is cute!  I just exchanged heart-hellos with someone, and I don't think we got any bonuses, but I'll keep trying.

  • I think it's the stupidest, lamest thing ever.  What good is +5 mood?  Reload for content, and this is IT?!?!  The most disappointing thing I've seen yet for this game.

  • I like it. :)

    But...was I the only one who was waiting for the bat in the little demonstration in the blog to eat the poor butterfly?

  • I was disappointed there wasn't a cute little arm wave character animation at first, but now I like this! I'm shy, so now I can say hi without talking :D

  • Love this! I wish I could "hi" while mining, but oh well. Still adorable! :D (I have a piggie today!)

  • I love this. I am going to saying 'Hi" a lot! I like being able to be pleasant to other Glitchen on the same street as me, even if I do not know them.

  • Maybe our next thing will be typing 6, then we say "Cool Beans", and gave each other 5 img!

  • I'm looking forward to trying this out next time I'm able to play. This great game just keeps getting better :)

  • Allow me to be the first party pooper and say BLECH.

    I really, really, REALLY, really wish this kind of thing can be blocked. I find it really annoying sometimes when other players literally stalk me so they can hug/kiss/moon/high-five/whatever me, and it makes me stop playing the game for a while.  

    (Game stalkers can get downright creepy, I've had other players follow me around the game, going so far as to actually try to follow me into my house.  Yes, you can block them and kick them off your street, but you shouldn't have to feel stalked on a game!)

    I am not the only person to feel this way:  http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/27007/

    Too late!

  • Well crap!! The only time I got to try it, so far, and I somehow messed up lol

  • Maybe people who don't want to be bothered can select the "don't bother me" option. Then they would have a little raincloud hovering over them. They won't be able to see the cloud (so it doesn't bother them). It would only be visible the rest of us. It would let us know we can't do any actions to them, including IMing them. If we try, we get teleported to the far side of Ur from them. Heehee.
    Posted 55 days ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I really love Tibbi's idea!

    I'd rarely use the raincloud myself, but it'd be awesome to see a couple floating around like that.

  • Long ago and far away I asked for an additional "smile" avatar animation.   I do understand that animations are probably something nobody wants to go anywhere near atm, and this is about as good if not better.  '5'

  • Wait.........that means no rook hat and costume, even though you show it with the other giants clothes? 

    *storms off in a fit of despair*
    Posted 55 days ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Moose: Geez; if I'd known you felt that way, I wouldn't have followed you all over Ur making kissy faces at you. Wait, I didn't. :)
    Can someone stalk me? I'm reasonably attractive.

    @Innie: Did I miss something? I don't see anyone saying that there is no rook costume in the works. At least not in this thread.

    <hands out cocoa and trauma blankets>

  • I love it.  It's so sweet and simple.  Very very nice :)

    ETA:  I just read the blog post... cute that you get assigned one every game day and the bonus when you find a buddy!  Kudos from me.

  • Eh crash, it has been made ages ago.  One of the devs has been wearing the hats for about 5 or 6 months.  Its just that they showed it in the picture with all the other costumes upon release.  I just got my hopes up....... silly me.
    Posted 55 days ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It's not the fact that your hopes get up, it's just that they get SO high up, they break the speed of sound, nearly burn up on reentry, and endanger local population centers, to say nothing of the lives of the first responders.

    Now take the damn cocoa! :)

    Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they're keeping the rook costume as a "hole card." for later release.
    Posted 55 days ago by CrashTestPilot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • *drinks cocoa and relaxes.......* Thanks crash :)
    Posted 55 days ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We should all stalk crash, since we were asked so nicely. Next time I am ingame, I will look forward to some crash stalking. :) but no splanking. I really hate splanking.

    Rainclouds and Rook costumes for everyone!!!!!
    Posted 55 days ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • we aren't getting a rook costume. think about it- one dressed as a rook could easily be mistaken for one. hordes of glitchen coming and shooting orb beams at each other. it would be a war. there would be bloodshed.

    *takes cocoa*

    Posted 55 days ago by Griselda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmm got mixed feelings about this
    Now people won't say hi because they mean it
    They will type this just to get points...just like forced fake socialization
    Posted 55 days ago by Lemo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well. *I* like it. So there ;)
    Posted 55 days ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Like it bunches!  Much faster than fumbling for RK when in a hurry.  The bear hi5 looks like a teddy bear punch in the face to me...so liking this much better...and love the animation of your icon of the day floating towards other players.
    Posted 55 days ago by White Ibis Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I couldn't like this idea more!  Unique and imaginative.  

    ETA: Please don't ever take this feature away!!!  It has totally repurposed my point of view on walking past folks instead of stopping to say hi.
