What is your style?

I find myself when it it close to a new day or end of a test burning up all my energy making stuff and getting as low as possible on energy without going to hell.  Also, do you rush home in the final moments prior to game shutting down or do you leave your glitch out there in the cold?   I think, besides when I was brand new to the game and homeless, I've only left my glitch outside the house once when the testing ended.    Does it make you feel comforted that your little glitch is safe at home?

  • I went home to stare at my fishbowl after the party :)
    I run myself pretty low toward midnight- if I notice that it's fast approaching, I'll grind like no tomorrow (in anticipation of the next tomorrow, oddly), and fill my energy just enough to avoid dying in the meantime.

  • Pfft, I left my Glitch on the subway with a pig.

    I'm sure she'll be fine! :D

    In seriousness, though... it depends on if I decide to go to a party, am alone and just feel like going home, go to some random place (usually somewhere with no people just so I can be alone, which is why I was in the subway), or I have a friend to talk to that I'll be with till the end. :) I also let my energy run as low as I can, doing as many things as I can, without eating for en. I'll meditate though and that can usually hold me off until the game closes. But as for where I am, I just go wherever, hehe.

  • I burn off most of my energy before the day's end (why not if you get stuff done and get free energy/mood) and usually head to my house when the game is about to end. I don't know what it is about going back there...it makes me feel more secure? So funny because it's just a game ;)

  • @Saraphim: lol Yeah, I think that's why I went back- that, and I didn't want the (unmoving, non-interactive) fish to get lonely.

  • I just continued to party. :)

  • @Fokian Fool: I should have- I kept looking at all the party pics and realizing I left way too early.

  • At the EOTW, I felt a certain responsibility to my passengers, and so my Glitch shall awaken in the firebogs. Perhaps hung over, a bit muddy, exhausted, and sore, but still shaking her head going, "uggggh... what a party!" (JennyAir: Serving the Stuck-At-Work-But-Still-Wanna-Party since two tests ago!)

    If the game's still open, though, I usually go home before exiting the world.

  • End of Day: To slowly get work my way on the Dying achievements, I try to die and get back before each new day. Sometimes I'm less successful than others. This last test, I spent the last three game hours on the cycle of no-no, hell, return, eat just enough to get un-pooped, then no-no again. Managed to die nine times.

    I also always try to end tests in my home. It is weirdly comforting to me. I also just love starting out right there. I also make an effort to clean up the house and organize the bags so I can start next test all tidy.

  • @Jennyanydots: And how we SAWBSWP thank you! Seriously, I was so bummed I couldn't join in properly but so glad that I'd be proofing something, look up and see my Glitch flying around with you:) (um, and you know, typing occasional comments. Good thing I proofread ads; one only needs a short attention span!) 

    Hmm, parties: When I go to EOTW parties, I like to just stay till the last minute. My little Glitch parties hardy! The tests I don't go, I do tend to TP home so I start afresh. I guess after the parties I have the Glitchungover:)

    Day's end: When I remember it is coming, I do like to burn off energy, but I don't always pay attention...having too much fun sometimes!

  • I teleport home, and sniff some no-no about 20 minutes before end of day, then I craft like mad for 15 minutes until I die of exhaustion, then come back right before the start of the new day.

  • Is it possible to come back in Hell? If so, I might have to try that next time...

  • When I was a low level player, I rarely went home. The Subway was just getting underway then, so, I mapped my way to where I wanted to start the next test.

    Now I have a big home to maintain and lots of bags, veggies, trees, pigs, butterflies to look after. I like to start my day at home, get organized for my adventure. I usually have a plan of what I'm doing and where I'm going.

    I grind, shake, repair before a new day using up my energy to start afresh.

  • @Djabriil if the day resets while you're in purgatory you will not get topped off, you'll stay "dead".

  • Oh, forget that then... glad I didn't try it!

  • Like LBO, I find it comforting to end and begin the test at home.  

    I tend to leave the EOTW party a bit early (with >20 minutes left in the test), head home, make sure my garden is planted up, piggies fed, and I fix all my tools up to full strength.  I hate leaving a green energy meter - red is best, but I'll settle for yellow.

    Then I perch on my railing and enjoy the view until the game reopens.

  • I don't use up all my energy, but I just don't eat the last little bit before new day. I am usually down to about 200 or so (i've been working on seasonng eggs and beans- just finished the last bean badge 30 minutes before EOT).

    As far as where I end up, it depends on whether I go to a party, or what I was doing at the time. I have gone home so rarely, I've forgotten where I live. that'll change when I start working on other badges. sometimes when the test is over, I still walk around for a minute, telling GOD I'm not done yet in my own glitchy way :)

  • Last two tests I stayed at the party because my first EOTW I managed to make it to, I got locked out of the game and couldn't leave my own house to go... anywhere. XD So now I don't like to stay home because I want to reserve the option to party my mothaglitchin' tush off.

    Also, I'm aiming for the Dragon Chaser badge when the test opens again. Fo sho.

  • This may surprise you, but...

    I crepe people. I crepe them hard. When they least expect it.

  • I always try to end a test with full energy and mood (one time I didn't because of lag, and was off full energy by a few points and that really annoyed me all through the down time). 
    I hate seeing the meters unfilled and knowing I can't do anything about them until site opens. Makes me feel like they're mocking me lol
    I also have to be in my house, in front of my sofa when test ends in this spot.
    I just like that particular spot. When game's up and running and I have finished my daily harvesting routines, I often go back home and just stand there while I'm on group chat waiting for new day to start. I'll often be there so long I'll go through piles of  meat and drinks just to keep my energy up. 
    I used to like to keep my energy up at end of day too, but then I thought that's a bit silly, so now I just sing away to butterflies to use up left over energy at end of day.

  • Nuh-uh. You can't crepe the willing.
    Posted 16 months ago by Kipple Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm like Ebil -- I made sure my energy and mood were at max because I knew that seeing anything other than a totally ecstatic smiley face would get on my nerves during the down time. I left my Glitch at Anrasan something because I plan on mining metal rocks like a boss when the game opens back up. ;)

    Oh my god, I thought I was the only one that felt like this. :DDDD

  • Usually I go home or blink out at an EoT party, but this test, I had an unusual encounter with a tree.
    Posted 16 months ago by Nanookie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • LOL   @ nanookie  - wonders what it means by "all"
    @ Jasbo - nice view from your railing don't blame you.

    I could have sworn someone posted them with their doll and now I can't find the picture.

    It looks like more enjoy going home but only by a slim margin

  • I have to be home before I leave the game...it IS oddly comforting...

    At the end of the day, I try to get in as much work as possible to drain my energy to at least double digits...I will cook, repair tools, grind ore or barnacles...whatever I can do to use up energy so I get a full refill with the new day.  I hate to die in this game, so I avoid that like a plague...

    My first thing to do each day, if I'm home, is to collect, harvest, pet, water, squeeze, nibble, and milk everything...I usually will try to make my first venture into the world (especially when logging back into the game) getting all my stacks in my inventory maxed either by gathering or purchasing at vendors (eg, groceries), and then I go out and have fun...

  • I like her to be home, safe inside where nothing can steal her...like a Rook. :(
    Posted 16 months ago by Dagnabbit Rabbit Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I make sure my Glitch makes it home with everything tidy, animals & trees happy, she'll finish the test standing on the balcony looking out at the view ... I do also tend to make sure I let my energy go down towards the end/start of another day so I'm not wasting my resources when I get the new day rewards...
    Posted 16 months ago by BumbleBeez Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm never online for the party (time zone difference + school), so on my last game day, I clean out my inventory, fully repair all my tools and teleport to the start of my egg route in anticipation for the next test. It pays to hit the ground running, after all.
    Posted 16 months ago by Frederik Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I tend to be home at end of test, trees and veggies harvested, pigs, chickens and butterflies divested of their daily bounty and Pig feeders filled and collectors emptied.
    End of Glitch day, I try to at least be on my way home with as little energy as possible. Made the mistake of not getting back from Hell in time once, not fun. Also once totally filled up my energy by eating Awesome Stews only to discover it was 11:55pm glitch time and it was a total waste. Once home and the new day begins I contemplate emblems for XP, tend and harvest trees, get goodies from animals, see what crops are ready and replant / water etc then head to my cupboard to organise what's in my inventory from the previous day out exploring, then off I go again.
