An Abstrixian Aside

Would anyone like to wildly speculate as to the nature of our upcoming feat?

From the descriptions:
First part: A Fine How-do-you-do: The tip of the hat, the nod of the head, the wave of the hand, the warm smile, the simple bow, the outstretched palm, the welcoming glance and even the gentle skip: all good and fine ways of saying "how do you do?"

Second part - The good neighbor: Everyone likes to play the host, but not everyone has as many opportunities to do so as they might wish. It takes visitors to make visitees and guests to make hosts. Be a good neighbor and turn the lonely glad.

Third part - "And ask nothing in return": The truest kindness is one which gives, not with the expectation of getting, but simply for the benefit of others. Abstrixia was a master of this most pure kindness and to practice Abstrixian kindness is to become a nobler Glitch.

My thoughts below.

  • First part: something with local chat again?

    Second part: seems to be something with home streets... but what?

    Third part: giving stuff away?

  • I would say second part is inviting people into your home

  • First Part: Using Emotional Bear verbs (Hug, Kiss, High-five etc.), perhaps the new 5-key for Hi's.

    Second Part: Visiting people's houses or maybe just home streets, perhaps Towers, too.

    Third Part: Give other people items, but possibly have to be different people so you don't just give 5000 things to your friend and have that count.

  • In my opinion:
    First Part: Use the new Hi feature
    Second Part: Visit HomeStreets
    Third Part: Gift Players

  • I think the 3rd part could involve RKing people, too (at least I hope it does!)

    I'm so excited about these feats. Can't wait to get started!

  • Visiting home streets of people without many friends or neighbors?

  • Thank you all for explaining what the heck this feat is going on about. I don't like poetry, prose, sublety, symbolism, etc. when trying to get information. Just tell me what you want, for Gawd's Sake! You can wrap it all up with a pretty ribbon if you must, but please - for my sanity - be clear and concise.

  • 1: hi feature
    2: Visit tower/home street/ house
    3: Gift players!! (or RK?)

  • We're guessing, Ann.  When each feat starts, the clear and concise instructions will be released.

    Really really hope the second one does *not* involve inviting people inside houses.  Oh the naivete!  Oh the theft!  Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth!

  • Yeah, I'm with you Fnibbit.  Particularly since there seems to be mass confusion about what objects in your house are locked and which aren't.

  • I'm with lolol and NightDraconis
    1. hi feature
    2. visit other players home streets & do something on the street?
    3. give gifts to multiple players

  • I am betting the seond one involves visiting other player's streets or towers, not going into the homes. We all, including the staff, know what happens when people are allowed indiscrimninately into your home. They take stuff and then there is a huge hue and cry. Visiting streets is just nice. - everyone wins with street visits.

  • I agree, I really don't want new player's in my house, plus most of the time I'm out & about...

  • I'm thinking #3 is an RK feat.
    Posted 48 days ago by Muncey Mango Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My guesses:
    1. "hi" feature, possibly mixed with hugs, high fives, and kisses
    2. several glitchen visiting your street or tower while you are there (you can't host if you're not there)
    3. this made me think of the "Kindness of Strangers" badge, or perhaps harvesting someone's street and leaving the harvest for them?

  • my guesses are:
    1. hi feature
    2. get guests in your house
    3. use random kindness on other players

  • I dunno but I can already tell I like it. A lot.
    Posted 48 days ago by The Docta Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes! And thank you to the staff for making a heads up on our home page for the start of a feat! I like knowing ahead of time :)

  • I'm with Symmol's three guesses. Hmm, makes me wonder if I should tower-sell all of these Random Kindnesses I've been hoarding?

  • Man, I have like 300 RKs. This is going to be so awesome.
