Being Days (Birthdays)

Some years ago, Disneyland had specials for birthday-holders to go for free on their b-days. It was SO fun! You wore a badge that said "It's my Birthday (with name)" and all day long people you didn't know were smiling and saying "Happy Birthday, Chetmo!" - from the guests to the ride workers to food servers - just everyone! It felt like people knew you and cared. I think 200 people must have wished happy b-day. Later, one of the workers handed me a phone and said "ChetMo, someone wants to talk to you" and it was (Disney character) who spoke to me and said "I just wanted to wish you a happy b-day!"  It would be cool if Glitch had Being Days, where you maybe got some extra points or so, or had a cloud above your head that said it was your Bday, and people or crabs or pigs could wish you HBD (Happy Being Day) and maybe gift you something.  It could be by actual Glitchian-era dates (randomly chosen by the Glitch-Meisters) OR once per month, like horoscope, there could be a group Being Day for everyone who was a Crabolier, or a Caprinian or Librolist (or something created by Glitch-Meisters based on your month of birth) - and maybe surprise parties!  Who doesn't love a Being Day? Oh, and presents  :)

  • That would be cool to have a happy Bday cloud floating above you're head for the day and get like a special present or something :)

  • +1 to Being Days. How about one for your real-life birthday and one for your Glitch's creation date? Can think of lots of ideas just based on those alone.

  • This is a neat idea. :) Potentially newb question, though: How can you find out your glitch's being day? I'm not positive what Ur date it was when I started playing.

  • Fantastic idea. I'd add a first-day badge too.

  • This is a great idea! Even as simple as you glowing with a bit of an aura. Though, when the game gets big, a lot of people will be glowing -- so maybe we'd restrict it to the four-hours of a game day (which will be just as hard as getting to Disneyland if your birthday is on a Tuesday!).

  • Really liking this idea, and I know the community we have here on Glitch is nice enough to shout out "Happy Being Day" to whoever it may concern. :]

  • I'd really love a way to pin down my 4-hour "being-day" each time it rolls around.

    Any chance you can let us look up when we were created?

  • Bump because I would love to know my Glitch age and also I think that maybe only the days you log on should count for days and after so many days you get the little aura prize....also it could become a Quest that would bring players back day after day! (because "oh golly gee, if I sign on for 20 more days it'll be my being day! I need to go log on NOW!")

    SO yeah.

  • it make sense to have it be the four hours of a game day, because your being day in game IS a four hour game day.

  • +1 for knowing my Glitch age, haha! Love the 4-hour aura thing. 

    Also, could we check out profile page to see when we were born? This way, some players could plan ahead to surprise their friends : )

  • Like this idea (and yes, I did the Epcot free thing on my Bday - which was also during the wine festival, and it was truly fun!)

    Would also love to know what my 'being' day is...I don't remember when I signed up, but suspect it's in some record somewhere...would love to see my 'being' day automatically posted to my profile.

  • I like this Being-Day idea, perhaps instead of a glowing aura for our B'day we could have a special  B'day crown/tiara,
    which would be worn on that day only, and then disappear when B'day is over ~be a princess or prince for the day.
    I too would like to know when my Glitch B'Day is, I know the RL date, but missed noting the Glitch date,
    and it would be awesome to see my Being-Day automatically posted to my profile. =)
