Angry Glitchen AKA Eat an orange, fall like a ferret and post your funny video...

So many angry peeps around, everywhere... In Global Chat, in forums...

Is it Winter? Lack of sun? The unlaunch? The recession? Credit cards maxed out? New rules about alts, keys and houses? Prices of herbs? Taking too long to learn the new skills?

What is it? What can it be?

(just wondering while I eat an orange)

  • Now I'm thinking about organizing a glitchen Hollow Earth Expedition RPG (Don't get too excited. It probably won't happen.). If it happens, there will probably be some walking of dinosaurs....

    Or frog cubimals. Whatever.

    I find that I'm most angry because I'm a season behind on Doctor Who and it just keeps buffering.

  • @Tamarnouche - I have one questions for you...how was the orange?  Was it one of those special Christmas oranges?  Do you think I should also enjoy one?

  • Tamarnouche, you're lurved right back. And you're all getting Glitchmas oranges from me when the time comes. They'll be no diff from regular in-game oranges except they'll be specialer through the power of imagination (tm). Now if only we had special Glitchmas dinosaurs...

  • @Stormy Weather, the white parts of the orange can help prevent cancers. :D

  • That's what the game needs.  Ribbons and bows.    With a ribbon and bow you can transform any in-game object into a gift.

  • I'm kind of craving a chocolate orange now -- half the fun of it is banging it against something to separate the segments :)

    I'm with Podle on pretending to be a ferret -- I've observed the drama/stress while doing my best to stay out of it, and I'm wondering if a lot of it is just because this is a time of great uncertainty in the world, in politics, in economic terms, etc., and the holiday season gets SO hyped up as a time when you have to spend money and have "quality time" with extended family, and the combination has us all frazzled and on-edge . . . and then when you add uncertainty regarding a game that's a wonderful escape from real life, I can see why people would be occasionally exploding on the forums.

    (I will say that some players appear to have been behaving particularly badly, which isn't helping matters any.)

    I've been doing my bit to be kind and generous, because every time I leave a drink in a secret spot, hand a stack of Deluxe Sammiches to a newbie, or hand out a Random Kindness, I feel like I'm doing a tiny thing that contributes toward the positive, energetic community that I've found in Glitch.  

    But, yeah -- in real life, I'm REALLY on-edge right now, so I can see why some other people might have tensions bleeding over into the game on occasion.

  • @Rook: I did not know that!  Have to tell ya though I'm not a fan.  Of the white stuff or cancer :-D

  • I need to get enough currants to buy a party cube so I can throw a ferret party. Clearly.

  • @Stormy Weather, oranges are always very good for you.  It was one of those sweet ones with no seeds. 

    We should all eat an orange and an apple a day. 

    Here is a cute and I'm off for today!

  • Several mentions of ferrets in this thread?

    Time for a video of my little guy in a funny Hallowe'en costume.

    (Well, the season is wrong, but it is a hyperactive mustalid in a bug suit. So, LOL at it. Feel better!)

  • There's not much conflict in glitch other than player vs player and player vs the developers, and not a ton of that.  I wonder if that makes it harder for people to get along.

  • :: stops punching George in the face ::
    Oh, was someone asking about anger?  >_>

    Actually I feel I've been in a better mood this Christmassy season as compared to previous years, because I'm doing a little better financially this season (:: knocks on wood, doesn't want to jinx it::) ... :: shrugs ::

  • OMG Lorelei! I lost it upon seeing Murphy in his costume. I may never recover.

    Maybe you can help! When I first made the ferret reference close to the top of this thread, I was thinking about how ferrets will be running along and then suddenly appear to stop for no reason and lie there. I cannot find a video of this happening (maybe I'm searching wrong), but I know it's a fairly regular ferret-occurrence. Do you have a video of Murphy doing such a thing? Because I just need it. It represents how I've been feeling, and it's also mystifyingly funny.

  • So now we know where Lorelei keeps her purple stash! It's in the couch cushions  just ask Murphy !!! :)

  • Voluptua: Ferret owners call that "speedbumping".

     My guy doesn't do it a lot, but I have had some that did. They are just taking a breather.

    BlackWolf: Ferrets are burrowing animals and the fugly old granny couch is irresistible. He knows he can get underneath the cushions if he works at it long enough. He also (like cats) has a fetish for boxes he can climb inside.

  • That's pretty much exactly it! It kills me when they just stop dead in mid-run and lie there like that. This is what I think of when I say they're lying with their marionette strings cut. So I guess, technically, I've been "speedbumping". Though this thread is helping me feel more like lolloping on again. :)

  • *glarg* 2ble-post. Maybe I need my phone to speedbump.

  • I don't think there will ever be a point where there are fewer arguments per capita than currently. A couple reasons in no particular order:

    There are many complex and firmly held convictions about the "nicest" way to play the game (ex: plant and leave, plant and take, take and plant) as well as whether playing only nicest way should be allowed. The "feel" of glitch is cute and sandboxy, and very sweet, which can lead to emotional immersion whiplash when people behave in ways that seem mean or not how they'd behave if you created them.

    It is hard to differentiate between gameplay behavior and social behavior, and the governance of each, in a social game.

    We're big enough now that there are Big Names With Big Opinions, which in games and fan communities always--totally regardless of their awesomeness, as they ARE awesome and largely lovely--means that shifts in their opinions are roughly as formative and potentially disruptive as tectonic plates.

    When non-TS folk decree a new gameplay norm (which I personally think is way outside their jurisdiction, FWIW) they often make a forum post or leave a note. Neither way reaches everyone or even most people.

    There is no agreement about what is "funny" in Glitch, because there is no agreement about that anywhere. People want to impress others in the community by acting out. Sometimes they say terrible things, and because they don't see themselves as terrible people (I doubt many people who play Glitch consider themselves terrible), they get super defensive when people say they weren't funny or hurt feelings. It's just a game, okay!!!!

    None of these will ever stop existing here because it is an open ended, largely community driven game on the Internet.

    I would be bummed if we stopped talking about our shared expectations for the community (ad nauseum). I think we all have a right to chat/forums free of epithets, dissmissal of the horror of sexual violence, and intimidation--but not to chat/forums where 100% of discussions are argument free. We need somewhere for community discussions of how to work this fabulous mess out.
