Updates and not the kind about the house update (jobs)

Hi! I recently started a cafe and I was thinking about something. Why dont glitchians have jobs? We are smart, so i dont see why not? People could work as teleporters and spend there days teleporting others like a taxi. Or, people could run cafes or Newspapers or anything like that. WE ARE GLITCHEN AND WE CAN DO THIS!!!! or at least i think we can

  • I wouldn't be so keen purely for the reason that I come on here to get away from work.  If I felt like the game was becoming like a job (as in I knew I was expected to perform a work duty regularly here) it would completely put me off from playing.

  • People do make their own occupations and there are newspapers, restaurants, moving services, cubimal sellers, and other businesses in Ur already, just no formal mechanism for such at this time.  I hope that eventually there will be an in-game marketplace but I also don't really want to have a game-prescribed job unless it's an optional kind of thing.

  • Our job is to keep creating in Ur. The giants imagined us so we can do the work, and they can eat and take naps.

  • Maybe somebody could open a factory and we could all spend our game day assembling crabpods.  That would really be exciting.

  • I actually kinda like the idea, but it would have to be a fairly loose arrangement.  I know myself that i'm not on here everyday, and sometimes i only pop in for 10 minutes to take care of housework, and sometimes i wanna go for a hike or something.  But it would be nice to have some other kind of base other than your home that you could pop in to, do a bit of work, earn a few currants.... chat to other glitches...

  • Wouldn't 'jobs' just contribute further to the grindy-ness of the game?  I know I don't want a situation where I am 'late to report for work' to a job in an online video game.  I already have a real job to be late to.

    I definitely want to be 'apart' from this.  Fixed your grammar for ya there.

  • Listen. Glitch is our own world. Our oyster to create what we can imagine inside a giants mind. ( With help from the devs )
    A place to relax after a long day.
    Set your own goals to do what you like :)
    the little things we do now express the skills we learned in glitch, and we share that with others by selling what we make, or helping others with what we have.
    I thought of jobs before. But i realized it would take out the fun in Glitch. Hopefully you noticed to. We are all grateful for the " jobs " we have now in glitch.
    We all have the same job. That job is:

    To share the imagination in Glitch, meet new people to celabrate memories with,
    go crazy over new stuff, and..... and.... be glitchy :)

    so real jobs dont fit into our scedule...

  • I would hate to have to do something like this honestly because part of the charm for Glitch, for me, is to be able to do something different every single time I get in the game.  :)

  • I have to admit that Glitch is an escape for me, and having a "job" would take away from that aspect. There are days that just running around and nibbling piggies with reckless abandon is a fantastic way to unwind. The piggies seem to enjoy it also. =)
    Having said that, though...maybe a balance of sorts could be reached.

  • I understand that... And i guess before this Up on the Suns Cafe get too popular, ill have to shut it all down.

  • It's just an idea, folks... I'm not totally opposed to having some kind of profession, provided it's flexible. 
    Awful lot of snark in here for a simple idea.

  • Maybe there could be an official Glitch Bureau of Employment for those who feel so inclined :)  The rest of us can just be a bunch of slackers, entrepreneurs, miners, piggy nibblers, butterfly milkers, etc.
