A great way to make friends

I was looking for something to do and I noticed that I would run past many sleeping Glitches. I had a surfeit (I love that word) of paper and thought, "I wonder if I could leave them a note that they wouldn't find until after they wake up and I'm gone." It turns out that so long as they had room in their inventory, I could. So I wrote them a note and told them that if they mailed me the note I would give them a small gift. Lo and behold a while later when I passed a mailbox I had mail waiting for me. I sent them back a note with a gift and thanked them for returning it. A few days later I got a note from someone who I had not given it to. I turns out that the person I gave it to left it on the ground and someone else picked it up and returned it. Now I have lots of friends and most mailboxes tremble when I walk past.

  • When I see a sleeping Glitch, I put a sammich in their pocket.

  • @Kookaburra: I'm already a member of the group but I must confess I've neer looked at it or opened it up in chat. Maybe I should open it up and let folks there know when I leave a note.

    @pipogm: A little messy but I like that idea. Is there any indication to the victim, errr, recipient who gave them the sammich?

    @GiaToria: I didn't know TS was renting out ad space in the forums.

    @dmnddgs: It could happen.

  • You could design an interlocking quest that leads to a party and leave pieces of the quest in sleeping glitches pockets.

  • Neat!

    I've been doing something like this for a few days. I dropped 11 notes (one per giant) in various dead end roads in the ancestral lands. The notes say to send me an ingame mail and then place the note someplace fun and I will send them a reward.

    So far I've given out several dozen music boxes, assorted powders, and a few gems. I have a bag that fills with my loot from the Lands and I just mail off whatever's somewhat good in there. I kinda wish I'd have labeled them, because some have been found in crazy locations. Keep an eye out for them, and enjoy the wacky disclaimer I wrote on them :)

  • I do this with hidden spots in-game. It's ridiculously fun, and it requires a bit more work to find the notes.
