what the tittle says

  • You aren't assigned just a single Giant. But maybe this page can help you make your decision, if you really want to decide on one: http://www.glitch.com/giants/favor/

  • Yeah, its personal preference. Use the page TomC linked to make a decision. I picked my Giant based on what I like. I'm an artist and I like making things. So I chose Alph, because he's the giant of creation. Pick a subject and find your giant.

    Oh and I think the page he meant to link was: http://www.glitch.com/giants/

  • As a seeker of mysteries and unanswerable truths (and a lover of a fine cocktail now and then), I follow Friendly. (I am also going to use this opportunity to plug my long story When Alph Imagined Time: A Story of the Calendar.)

  • While I don't have many Humbaba emblems yet, her description just tickles my fancy (Especially her insistence on being called by her first name when she only has one, how very contrary!).

    Also, interesting page there. I don't believe I've seen that one before but I've read about the Giants elsewhere.

  • I am my own giant!

  • I chose Lem, because he craves knowledge, and also because his earthly incarnation happens to be my favourite SF writer ever.  So no contest, really.

    (Although I also have a very weak spot for Tii. :))

  • At first I thought my Giant was Mab - just because I really like gardening and Mab rules most of the gardening skills. When I actually got around to reading her description I found she was greedy and industrious  which is way too big business for my tastes...

    ..now I think I'm more akin to either Pot or Friendly. Pot especially, as the Giant of Prosperity, Generosity, and Good Fortune. That's right up my ally. Unfortunately for me, Pot rules the Cooking Skills, and I have very little interest in cooking :(

  • I am proud to be a polygigist.

  • I've been playing Glitch for almost a year (I was imagined on October 28), and I never had any preferred giant until very recently. As I looked through the giants' pages, linked above, I realized that all but one are pretty much symmetrical. I'm a fan of asymmetry—for example, I drive a Nissan Cube—and the most asymmetrical giant is Tii.

    Tii is also the giant of odd and even numbers, and the reason why so many things are numbered in primes. I'm a fan of primes and numbers in general.

    Finally, out of all eleven giants, Tii is the only one who is neither male nor female. That's unique, and I love uniqueness.

    So, I'm now a Ti'ite.

  • I just keep playing the way I like, without specifically trying to appease one particular giant. Apparently, "the way I like" means "the way that gets the most favor with Lem."

    Don't know how that happened, but I'm rolling with it.

  • I dont eat, I dont drink, all my energy comes from my Focusing Orb, praise Cosma.

  • Some interesting responses here.  I like Zille for no better reason than he was the first emblem that came my way, plus I like mining metal rocks, my home street is full of them.  Now I like him even more, as he looks like a puck goat, and his description uses the word "drumlins".  Also like him I am "friendly and neurotic", that's pretty much perfect.

  • I love Tii and Tea.  It just makes sense.

  • Lord Bacon-O's Alph helped me find my favorite. Cosma! So fluttery and pretty and windy.

  • I love being green so Spriggan sometimes, but I do like cosma as well.

  • I'm an agnostic. I think the giants understand; or at least they look the other way when I donate for skill speed.

  • @Ms. Beagle, you should know that Zille is a girl. :)
    Posted 52 days ago by Juniparr Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hah, I was about to point that out too, Juniparr.

    I am a Zillot. Zille is mighty in the mightiest of ways. How does one obtain those elements which give us the means to please the Giants three times as much at the shrines or help a little tree grow quickly or to ease our fatigue when we choose to wander and nibble piggies? With rocks! Rocks Zille designed and placed in our world to make our lives easier!

  • I think it'd be neat if we could choose an actual giant affiliation with slight benefits towards those related skills and activities, slightly more favor when donating, etc.  There'd have to be some penalty for changing around a lot though I guess. 

    For now, I'm wearing my Friendly robes with pride :)

  • I simply can't make up my mind - but looking at TomC's link, I seem to favour Mab - or does Mab favor me? I generally donate at random but I have a 3800 favor pot with Mab and only 2900 with Spriggan. 

    I *do* like Spriggan's robe though - so much that I grew my hair to match!

  • Lem! I have pretty good favor and a handful of emblems from some of the giants, but Lem is my personal favorite. :)

  • Lem and Tii, just Lemon Tea, really

  • I can't stand the whole giant bit in the game TBH.  Game would be better without it.  It is of course my opinion.

  • There are also these pages: www.glitch.com/leaderboards...
    ...you can go through each giant and see where you rank.  (I have the most favor with Mab, but my best rank is with Grendaline)
