Prank Sleeping Glitchen IN THE FACE

I don't know about you, but every time I see a sleeping glitch, I remember my college days and all of the zany antics we came up with to prank our passed out brethren. 

Why then, should the fun end in college and the occasional party? Surely we can make those memories last forever in glitch!

So, I propose a new item - a magic marker. Perhaps this would be part of penmanship. With this magic marker comes the ability to draw funny things and messages on AFK glitchen.

Who's with me?

Edit: Just so we're all very clear - I do not advocate doing this to people in real life, nor do I condone taking advantage of vulnerable people who have put themselves in risky situations. Be it to encase them in elaborate toiletpaper fashions or writing limericks on their body. If you plan to get piss drunk, do it among friends you trust in a safe place, and please don't get so drunk that you engage in dangerous or risky activities.

I am, however, all in favor of drawing stuff on AFK glitchen.

  • Needless to say, but this skill would go hand in hand with snapshotting.

  • Support. =D Longer AFK, longer it lasts. Bad or good benefits maybe? Like trees would say bad things or you would get less (or more because you look funny and pigs look down on you) stuff?

  • @Cait My heart would break into little pieces if this was implemented and dick drawings were not an option.

  • Also.. you could have different (color) levels of this skill- With the added learning how to make the ink for the pens as a separate skill.

  • Maybe a crayon emote could be added to the bear. A picture bubble could be added above the AFK person and would change the more they are emoted.

  • I lend my full support to this idea!

    (unrelated note, magic marker disoriented me for a moment because I immediately thought nethack)

  • Muahahaha. I always encounter AFK glitchens around Ur. This will be awesome if implemented. You can even sell the markers through the Toy vendors (NEW STUFF!).

  • Was at a convention where this was done to someone who was passed out (apparently, it wasn't the first time, either) ... it was more sad than funny, esp. when this terribly drunk person staggered out towards the rest of the hotel where there were stairs and balconies. So, no.
    Posted 14 months ago by TK-855 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @TK-855 :( You are not supporting this idea because in real life when done inappropriately, it resulted in a potentially very dangerous outcome?

    This makes me sad on many levels.
    Posted 14 months ago by Xev Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Why would writing on someone cause them to stagger out into a dangerous situation?  And how does that apply to a Glitch? 
    Posted 14 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Xev: Just that it isn't funny IRL. (Don't mind me, I'm an old fart.)

    @WindBorn: Drunk guy woke up, staggered out into hallway while *completely* made up with heavy eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and blush ... all courtesy of his friends. Again, he'd done this before at other parties, so his friends knew and no one saw fit to keep an eye on him. It doesn't have an enormous impact on Glitch, but I wanted to point out that what we think is funny one moment isn't necessarily funny a moment later.

    There's already a consequence for sleeping/being AFK to long: you die and go to hell. No need for people to draw viking horns, moustaches, tails, or other accessories required.

  • I suppose there is something about wearing makeup that makes a situation dangerous that I don't understand.  Drunk yes, makeup no.

    I vote for this.  It will be especially fun when we run across devs who are afk.

    I can imagine that it could cause a few problems here and there, but for the most part glitch has an excellent community so it could be really great.

  • @TK-855 For the record, I don't advocate drinking heavily enough that one passes out, nor engaging in risky behavior. I also do not advocate drawing on sleeping / passed out people in real life. Please forgive the embellishments made in my initial posts - I'm not one to engage in such behavior with people I consider friends, nor with people I don't know well enough to consider friends (drawing dicks on sleeping people's faces isn't the greatest way to begin a relationship). 

    That being said, I LOVE the idea of this for glitch. It's harmless fun that encourages players to stay active in game, instead of going AFK for long periods of time. Yes, death / hell is a consequence of going AFK for too long. But you say that like that's a good thing. Personally, I'd prefer someone to write a dirty limerick on my glitch rather than wind up stomping grapes. 

    We could add the bonus that if people draw on you, you get an energy / mood boost, thus helping you avoid hell.

  • @WindBorn: Again, you're missing the point (or being deliberately obtuse). The person who got drawn upon was passed out because he was drunk. He was vulnerable, and while there may be amusement in putting makeup on him, the seriousness of the situation became evident when said person woke and staggered out into an area where he could have easily done injury to himself. (The hotel was the Bonaventure in Los Angeles, CA ... very nice hotel, but we were several stories up, and this guy couldn't even walk a straight line.)

    So the humor of 'let's draw on someone because they're AFK' is lessened for me. His friends were nowhere to be found, and people who only knew him from a group association had to go chase him through the halls when he went on his drunken ramble.

    Your mileage may vary.
    Posted 14 months ago by TK-855 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @TK-855 I think what WindBorn is getting at is that the real life scenario, no matter how serious and dangerous, can't fairly be compared to an in-game scenario where in players are simply AFK (not dangerously inebriated).

    Again, I sincerely apologize for the initial post that implied that this is an OK or funny thing to do IRL to drunk people. It isn't, and I don't believe that it is, and my intent was never to advocate otherwise. If it would help smooth this over, I'd be happy to update my original post to reflect that. Otherwise, I think we can safely move on.

  • @Xev: Works for me. Just don't blame me when you sprout a pair of viking horns and a tail. ::: hides marker ::: ;D

  • "running, jumping, climbing trees, putting on makeup while you're up there..."

    I propose that Glitchen may only apply amazingly outrageous makeup to others whilst up a tree... and a grapefruit magically appears in their inventory afterward. Ground-bound are limited to marker-drawings. (This means that Serguei will likely be covered in makeup 24/7) =D

  • I love the Glitchy idea! But it shouldn't give the freedom of MS Paint.

    I think it would benefit the interface to grant a couple of preset face-paints to select from. This would make it easily usable by keyboard, plus it would control the things people paint (no dicks and Hitler-crosses for example)
    Posted 14 months ago by Niks Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Agreed, Niks - art should be somewhat controlled to avoid truly offensive content (besides, hilarious artwork created by artists would be AMAZING). 

    Messages, however, should have the same freedom of penmanship. This is because any written (keyboard input) message can and should be tracked should someone write something inappropriate. 

    I would like to avoid preemptively censoring Glitch, and instead acknowledge that yes, someone, somewhere will cross a line. And when that happens, someone else will report them for it, and the fine people of TS will respond appropriately.

  • +1 implemented somehow!

    i like the idea of if like 5 people do it to an AFK glitch (successive pranksters) they somehow get a badge or prize.

  • +1 from me too!
    Posted 14 months ago by Zira Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think it should be a predetermined set of stickers that give the afk person a boost, so it has positive ramifications.   

    While I think there could be a pay-only game (to avoid minors playing without permission) with adult content that would be great to have penises in, there are plenty of adults who play this game who would feel violated if their glitch were defaced in such a fashion.  So I say, put it in a game where you know by context to expect such things so those people can avoid such a game.  I'd play, if it was a small 1 time fee.  So, someone go out there and make it.

  • I definitely like the idea of logged keyboard input messages and a preset gallery of artwork (as determined by devs).

    I think that would definitely combat abuse right off the bat.
    Posted 14 months ago by Xev Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Idea… having a blank interactive place. Basically… ever been on a Xat chat? You know Doodle? Or just Photoshop… GIMP… anything. Actual drawing program. You can change brush size/color (for color, more skill/xp/items needed?)… etc. So those with a tablet or just awesome mouse art skills may actually go around doodling genius art on people XD And I’m thinking the doodled thing… will be like this floaty thing that chases the person. It clearly won’t be part of the person, and when moving around, the doodle will just chase him. Very cartoony.

  • yep, this is a winner.
    Posted 14 months ago by flask Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Note: making a website pay-only in no way guarantees that a minor cannot play without parental permission. You can purchase prepaid credit cards in grocery stores. They don't require you to be 18+.
    I actually do think that this is already a game where drawn penii would be expected.

    And I would love this function.

    But think of the poor devs! They are always AFK while they work hard at fixing stuff for us. Hopefully we can cheer them up by writing yearbook-style notes on them about how great they are, instead of subjecting them to a plethora of dicks chasing them around!
