What does SWF stand for. Does Ur need a garbage dump?

OK, I get it.  The SWF blocks are a homage to Flash, being the flash logo.  So if the F stands for Flash, what do S and W stand for?  And why so many?  Especially the white F's.  Which leads me to the question, "Doesn't Ur need a garbage dump?"  Or better still, why not a recycling component?

When I got a block from petting a tree, I dropped it.  But lo and behold, I got another block from the next tree.  Is a giant watching us and not letting us drop it.  Same goes for Random KIndness.  I bestow a lot, and still have too many.

Apart from that, all is well.  I love Glitch.  I hope everyone has a super duper day.

Cheers.

  • I've seen more SWF blocks in the last week than I did in the first four months I played, the other ones have disappeared now though, disproportionate rebalancing in action?

  • I have so many SWFs, they line the front of my house. red & white fs appear to be uncommon these days (at least, that's what I've seen).

  • I'll take any RKs you have that you don't want.  Just leave them out and say where they are.

  • Thanks to you all for adding to my understanding.  I had not found anything about swf on the items list and had completely forgotten about the wikipedia and encyclopedia.  I shall always go there first and not bother you all with such a simple request I should have answered on my own.

    I have added you all to my buddy list and hope to run into you sometime.

    Any thoughts as to what to do with all the white blocks with the red f?  There's always more than the others.  I'm happy when I get the correct 3 to play the Game.

    I have been bestowing a lot.  But I could do more.  Thanks Walruz for   nudging me to realize I could bestow even more.

  • Tenebrae and Horakely, I have loads of white blocks with a red f, so maybe we could meet  up and do an exchange. I've added you to my buddy list.  I shall be away from the game until about 4pm PST, and shall likely be around this evening.  Maybe we can meet.

    So glad to meet you.  : )

  • I just use them to line my front porch. I live in a bog house with an extra balcony, so I just dump'em up there to look pretty. 83

  • Here is a forum post about a great free service for extras - I used it to get a game, and I've tried to send Binro my SWF pieces as I find them. =)

    They are used by the rook defense community because each application is 50 mood or energy and you can just stand over a defender and repeatedly replenish their diminishing levels.   I also say they are great for miners because if you can develop a paired mining relationship and carry a sack of these you can stop every so often and cross-bestow over and over to replenish energy for 'free', as it were.

  • Make a pile at home, and when you find one you've been missing, make a game.  Each game you play gives you +60 XP!

  • I offer a free service....send me any 3 blocks and i'll send you a glitch game!

    i find that the red blocks with the white f are the rarest, so far.

  • Here's a thread about garbage chutes:  http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/368/ 
    It's locked, but still an interesting idea.
