  • Oh and by the way this feat is the worst thing possible.

    I boycott.

    ETA: sorry to hijack, if I did.

  • I don't like this feat either, I really don't want to spam my friends even though I think Glitch is a great game.

  • I totally agree with Joe. :(

  • My friends who would play already do play. spamming invites to people is so Zynga....
    Posted 60 days ago by Pixieyelsraek Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've already invited friends who I think will like the game because it's a good game. That's how these things should spread, organically. This whole forced method with the feat doesn't pass the sniff test. Boo, TS. :(

  • I honestly don't know anybody I'd feel comfortable inviting right now, and I doubt anyone will move into that particular zone in the next 24 hours.

  • And you don't just need to send them invites..you need to then make sure that they *accept* said invite in order to be counted as contributing.  I'll sit this one out, thanks.

  • There's a couple of folks on FB I'd wanted to invite anyways, but I don't know them well enough to ask for their e-mail. I don't think it's a bad feat, we're getting one last chance to get our friends in before the floodgates open. And open they will!

  • So very disappointed with this feat.

    Got nothing else to say about it but that.   :(

  • I'm having FarmVille flashbacks. Not good.
    Posted 60 days ago by Aurora Dellaterra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well it would be easy if we had a link to post cause I know I don't feel comfortable giving out my e-mail. 
    Posted 60 days ago by Polly Nomial Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oy.   Agree with all of the sentiments above, and also fear we are going to see a bijillion alts created and then abandoned over the next 24 hours.

  • Can you say "waste of server space?"
    Posted 60 days ago by NightDraconis Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not a cool :(  Sitting this one out, I will miss my 75 currents at the end (ha ha!) but, hey.   This isn't really a feat, it's marketing, too Farmville.  Didn't really expect this...

  • I'm disappointed in you, TS. I've already invited everyone who I thought would be interested, and without wanting any reward but to have other people I know enjoy Glitch. Giving individual in-game rewards to the people who'll willingly spam everyone they know for the next day is just... iffy.
    Posted 60 days ago by Hrulgin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • You know, I think TS might have done better if they had just asked us to drum up some new players, this idea just seems to have pissed (almost) everyone off.
    Posted 60 days ago by Miss Parsley Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not going to.

    On the other hand, how long until we get our mourn-feat moon-rocks?
    Posted 60 days ago by Sororia Rose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I agree with Leites, the feat has only been for 11 mins and some people have 5 invites already. Puh-lease!
    Posted 60 days ago by Polly Nomial Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Create-an-Alt Feat! This is pretty lame. Why would anyone have not invited their friends already?
    Posted 60 days ago by Odder Pu Subscriber! | Permalink
  • A one-time event push for more invites does not a Zynga game make. This feat makes sense if this epic is designed to be a public relaunch event. Notice the blog post where it can't fail - a failed feat will add a lamer redo feat to the epic.

    That said, I think a lot of us have invited the people in our lives we think would actually be interested, and none of us are terribly comfortable "pushing" on invitations. Unless stoot clues us in that it *is* a public relaunch event, I think this one was a bit of a mistake.
    Posted 60 days ago by Faranae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't believe this feat.  It is just going to lead to the creation of lots of bogus alt accounts, most of which will never get played, and a lot of good names might get chosen which truly interested players will not get a chance to pick later on. 

    Seriously, did you actually think this through?  Most of us that have been playing for very long have already invited all the friend we think would want to play.

    Lamest. Feat. Idea. Ever. (so far)

    And why I quit playing almost everything Facebook.  Ugh.

    Feats should be based on in-game play.  Have some other reward for invites, if you have to, but not this.

  • I dislike this one too. sadly so.  I do not like having to push on facebook, it is why I stopped playing most of zynga's games.  
    Posted 60 days ago by Thursday Soleil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I came to play Glitch and found Zynga. I thought I left the spamming a long way back.

    And if this feat fails ...does that mean we get to do it again in a 'lamer' fashion...
    Posted 60 days ago by Teena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I thought I was just being an ungrateful friendless weirdo when I saw the task and my heart sank. But no, some people agree. It sucks to have to spam people and coax them into joining just for some favor and currants and stuff. ITA with RainCat, have a referral system where you get special things, but not this. I feel so so bad saying this about my favorite freemium game, though.

    I do wonder what will happen if this one fails. I mean, it already kind of started with a whimper IMO.

  • Bring on the lame feast!
    Posted 60 days ago by Palindrome Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love this game and I believe in it, which is why I have already invited my friends to play.  Any invite that happens in hopes of an in-game reward is... not the sort of invite you want to encourage, I think.  This feat makes me feel gross all over.
    Posted 60 days ago by Pale Queen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't know if we are going to hit the minimum for this feat.  Certainly not the Bonus level or 'super bonus'....
    Posted 60 days ago by Awesomasaurus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Bleah.  Bad idea.  
    Posted 60 days ago by Tradescantia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is depressing TS, you couldn't come up with anything better to get people to invite friends?

    Why not a referral program, like so many others sites do? Making it a feat is just silly. Most of the people "invited" are going to be alts of existing players, or are just flat out going to decline.

    2 days also is sad. People were looking forward to the feats in this epic only to have a two day stall in the middle where we aren't actually DOING anything.
    Posted 60 days ago by Terribelle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow really not cool. I have invited plenty of people but I'm not going to do it because of a bribe. Feats should just be in game stuff it shouldn't require things outside of glitch.
    Posted 60 days ago by koolaroo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Very disappointed. Certainly not doing this spam.
    Posted 60 days ago by Fly Subscriber! | Permalink
  • From my update feed (for those that see it and know I'm a dirty copy/paster)...

    We want a community feat? Let's stop whining and make one! 

    Join me in Gregarious Grange! 

    Bring food! Bring fun! 
    (bring good attitudes... let's not turn this into a bitchfest... glitches aren't bitches!) 

    We'll welcome new folks and reunite with old folks. 

    When it gets too big for the Grange, we'll take over the Groddles!

  • OK T.S. , I believe by now you see the majority of us feel this is SUPER lame. Let's just hurry n change the FEAT and we will all pretend this never happened. :)
    Posted 60 days ago by litlc Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Its a bad idea TS truely it is,

    A sad day to see such here in a game that is so wonderfully different in so many amazing ways. I too love this game, more I love the people who have made it, so its a deep hurt for me to say how disappointed I am at this particular feat, the other parts of this epic I have thoroughly enjoyed, but this . . . no
    Posted 60 days ago by Faereluth Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've already tried to invite people a year or more ago. Personally, I feel that feats should be kept in game and as non-spammy as possible. Every time I've gotten an invite for some game on facebook I've blocked it. Just my two cents...*shrug*

  • What were the results of the dead people feat?
    Posted 60 days ago by LtlBoyBlue Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Stoot said on another thread there was a bug and the rocks will be handed out later (like tonight)

  • If this is a Machiavellian scheme to identify those who would stoop to inviting dummy accounts so they can be banned and the community improved then bravo.
    Posted 60 days ago by Humbabella Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I agree with Humbabella.  Please let it be a trap.
    Posted 60 days ago by Kipple Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Humbabella: lol — that's kind of genius!

    Polly Nomial: (to the original question) no, there is no mechanism for referrals. Someday, there will be.

    To everyone who hates this feat: Sorry! Take a break for the next 22h55m and it'll pass right by. And, think of this: groups that go through horrible/challenging/harrowing experiences together come out stronger and more cohesive for it. Just think how strong the community will be after! (Since I am already very late for a family dinner, a longer and more thoughtful reply will have to wait until later …)

  • Why didn't TS just ask us all to invite friends and give us a "gift" of some kind if they signed up? Some credits, a wardobe or vanity item. We were already asked to "like" Glitch on FB (for 25 credits), so all our FB contacts had THAT popping up on their FB home page. I quit FB over a year ago partly because of FarmVille ("shiver runs down spine"). I did sign in just to get the credits, however,
    We all love the game and want it to succeed. I just don't see any appeal in this - making us sound like whiny losers if we don't participate. "thumbs down" for this "feat" :{

  • Stoot answered the OP in this thread by saying: 
    "I'm not an FB expert, so someone else please chime in if I have this wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can send anyone an email as an FB message @ the facebook.com domain. So, for example, if you friend's page is at facebook.com/suity.mcdressypants, then suity.mcdressypants@facebook.com will work as an email."

    It works, I tried it! (yes, I'm a social media moron)

  • I'm having horrible flashbacks of FS. I, too, have invited all my FB and other friends that I thought would like this game, a long time ago - many joined and are here now.
    Posted 60 days ago by ButterflyBirder Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I, for one, really hate this feat. It does feel really spammy and considering I don't have many gamer friends I feel like sending out invites would just be obnoxious and wasteful since most wouldn't like this game and that would hurt my feelings. I've been sitting this Epic out for the most part. I'm waiting for one that I would actually enjoy. Though I have been watching the counter for the Feats and stressing cause I really want the goals to be reached so we can have new regions or thingies. I love thingies.

  • I am iffy on this feat. I'm afraid it's going to cause a ton more alts to be registered, but then again, because of the public nature of feats, it will be easy to catch cheaters.

    I was sad I might miss out on most of this feat because I'd be away from my computer all evening, but turns out I won't be missing out on anything. I was hoping for some kind of cooking and eating event with meeting in the streets to exchange meals, but we got an uninspired fishing for additional signups.

    Edit: it's Saturday night, Stoot! Stop worrying about us busy-bodies and check in later.

    Does Glitch need to show greater growth, even if it's just number of registered accounts and not concurrent players?

  • Will the next step be Integration with Facebook?  Meaning, a 'Facebook client' that FB users can use to enter the game?  Because Big Fish tried that with Faunasphere.  I am sure others can contribute their observations of how that move went.
    Posted 60 days ago by Tatsuo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Very disappointed TS, I expected better from you.

    Everything I wanted to say has already been voiced by so many others before me so I won't waste my time repeating it.

    Therefore I'll simply say.......... tut! [shakes head sadly].
