I don't believe there is a way for normal players to obtain one outside of trading with someone who does have one (which is highly unlikely). Either way I wish eventually there would be a way for normal players to get one, as I would eventually like to obtain one.
i wouldn't call those claims so much as speculation... or a pretty safe guess anyway. i know of 6 people who currently have them in-game, 5 of which i know received them from devs. only stuv's friend, as referenced in the other thread (http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/12797/131453/), has a SB1 of unconfirmed origin, as far as i know.
It was mentioned in a chat earlier today actually, regarding the 'make the crab happy' badge. A staff member let us know that a couple of the crabs had just been played SB1 and a few of us managed to get out and finally get that badge (dances). They did also say that there IS an action in game that gives SB1, but that it's not a common one like 'harvest' etc.
Is the in-game action something any player with the proper skills can perform? Or is it something like, all you have to do is have gotten the intern badge, and then you just play with your funpickle at the same time as pulling the string on your Ayn Rand doll while standing in front of the Stoot shrine and BAM! The SB-1 just drops into your lap.
Popping bubbles? Prodding/Sniffing/Licking Cheese? I thought maybe you could get one from poking very stinky cheese and instead of an object of no intrinsic value after so many times out popped an SB-1.
Here's my thoughts... chickens give out Musicblocks when squeezed. Maybe if you put them in a frenzy by saiying "kfc", they could be persuaded to drop a rarer box then usual.
Oooh, I like Warrender's idea of "something you need to do at the Stoot shrine?"...
I wish there was a trophy for collecting all three (non-special occasion) Dolls, too. Wait, can all the dolls even be collected in the game now?
UPDATE: Nope. According to staff, Dolls do not drop in the game anymore. Shame! I remember their dialogues being totally philosophical. And the artwork has been done and everything. Oh well!
After I faved this image, stoot appeared to me in a vision and handed me a gurly drink. Then I woke up, logged onto Glitch and the SB-1 was in my inventory. True story.
Yeah, well, I faved it yoinks ago and my inventory remained and remains SB-1-less, so I think it had more to do with Nanookie's winning personality and exceptional dress sense.
I have not heard of any SB-1's dropping. I've gotten 4 Cubimal Boxes from spinning the wheel now but no sign of SB-1 yet (unknown whether this even has a chance to award one though).
Hburger, when were you told the dolls don't drop anymore? I've heard that they were removed from the Rube trades, then later added back. It's a tad confusing, really.
I got a Nietzsche doll from the Rube about a week ago. Didn't know it was such a big deal, as collecting rare stuff is not part of my game . Before you ask, I've already parted with it.
Wait....."S"B-1 ?
I know a player who has all the trophies for collections listed in encyclopedia, and there isn't any SB category listed. Is this new? Does encyclopedia need updating? (New stuff like the potons, etc are listed.) What's the big deal, anyway?
SB-1 is a SUPER special musicblock given away by staff in beta, but probably no longer. I think it purposely isn't in the encyclopedia ;) There's only one of its kind, no SB-2 or anything.
I was told by a staff member that it requires a certain action and some other stuff to receive this item. I have been going crazy trying to figure out ways to obtain this certain block. I want it far far more than I ever wanted the GNG. I absolutely LOVE the song it plays. It is amazing!
Well, so far, there have been a few more suggestions here. So far, I have a list as such:
Decline Rube X amount of times Pinch or Insult Crab x amount of times Taste Piggy plops Popping Bubbles Possibly the verbs that get removed for spice and gas? Cheese verbs
I am going to go nuts until we figure out what this action is.
Personally I don't think it's anything measurable like that. If I were staff I'd hand it out to nice and fun players that do big, new, creative and collaborative things in Glitch. Not simply after tasting 1007 Piggy Plops.
Slimenose, was that a direct quote from the staff or your paraphrasing?
"you need a certain skill tree to be learnt" <= Does this mean you need a skill to perform the action or you just need the skill to trigger the chance for this block?
