#### Chairs for sitting, resting & relaxing in

Okay, so here goes the Why? list.
1. Mainly because there's a lot of socializing going on in Glitch, and how awkward is it for us to be always standing no matter what?
a. Besides, our houses have seats, eg. Alakol 30k/50k houses, and more of which I don't know of have seats 'built into' the background, so if we could have them as interactive objects that'd be cool. One more plus point of having a house.
2. They can be a source of regenerating energy. After all, some of us tend to spend time AFKing, so why not make use of that time? The question of 'that wouldn't be fair' might arise, but then you could reduce the energy generated per minute to say, 1 or 2 then. Make it a very small thing.
3. It looks good. Our characters would look good sitting down, and there could be various design chairs made available. They could even be made subscriber-only or something.
There are tons of reasons why, but hey, I hope this idea sounds good, to TS and to us Glitchies out there. Gone are the days where we have to fall asleep standing up. :D

- I would love to be able to use the chair in my house! Also, the tables and shelving, since it's there. :)

- I would love this too! Especially where we could sit, not lose energy and just socialise. I can't count how many times I've very nearly croaked whilst mining or gardening away and chatting in Global or via pm's with friends. It's one of the nicest things about Glitch, that I can play and get so involved in conversation that I lose track of time. <3
  That way we could have "real" coffeehouses where we could all sit around and meet new people and chat. Like mini-Global's. ^_^
  So I definitely +1 MILLION this idea.

- that is a realy nice idea : )
  especialy in a house it would make sence.
  and while you are at it, what about the train ?
  they have seats, all empty. yet when i ride the train i have to stand?
  i think the list can go on, and on, and on.
  i hope they can make it work.

- I'm not so sure about the energy idea. The idea behind energy is that there is a limited amount you can do in a game day, to encourage you to go out and do other things or to come back later once you've rebuilt your energy supply. On the other hand, I can see chairs as a way to idle without losing energy.
  The downside to something like this is that it could incur a ton of extra work for their art and/or programming department to support a sitting position animation character position and/or animation, plus extra space requirements to cache it across the host.
  Beyond those two points I have no opinion about the idea. *shrug*

- Yea I really think it's more comfortable to talk that way, not expecting everyone to jump around while discussing
  Not really sure about the regeneration thing though, as you would have a thousand afk players on the server...

- I really, really love this idea. Especially the AFK part or just one where your energy and mood is temporarily frozen. To make sure that the chair use isn't abused, we could incur a timer/cool down that limits the amount of use in time frame.
  I was thinking about something similar earlier today, actually and how frustrating it is to be unable to interact with any furniture or background objects. It would be fun to also introduce the option of purchasing furniture. Great idea! Hopefully this catches the interest of TS.

- +1 Would love a lawnchair to relax in and not use energy. I tend to go afk for a few mins at a time, and I always wonder how much energy I really waste, even for such short stretches
