#### I am outraged! [image]

I write this post with a heavy heart. This past weekend an untold number of Fireflies were forced into SLAVERY during the Zilloween holiday in Ur. Those fireflies had a whole life ahead of them, yet they were resigned to lighting up carved Pumpkins until the pumpkins themselves rotted out - trapping the fireflies within. I am appalled and saddened by this atrocious act and I hope you'll rise up with me in the first ever #OccupyMucidMemesStreet to make sure this NEVER happens again.

- Oh, that is terrible.
  The poor little fireflies.
  (Although I would think that they had more fun like that than being crystamalized!)

- I'm just impressed that there are people who have figured out how to get full bottles of fireflies. I am hopeless at it.

- @Tibbi - It's an intricate combination of trying a million times/poking around the auctions ;)

- You just buy a 7.5K fire bog house. They come with a firefly swarm right inside your house.

- but don't the fireflies escape when the jack-o-lantern rots?
  maybe they are having fun in there??
  maybe they think they are on stage and have a future as actors?
  did anyone ask 'em?
  (and I could only catch enough for one punkin too)
  I would be more outraged at the crystamalization of fireflies

  That'll show 'em what for.

- I have one of each kind of lantern on my doorstep. The Fireflies will stay until the pumpkin rots then fly back to the Firebogs until such a time they are needed to meld back into Ur with the imagining of a crystal.

- So, you found my decor to be outrageous - yes, that is my home in the picture! I had 32 lit pumpkins around my door. All the kitties said "Meow" and all the others said "Happy Zilloween!" The fireflies flashed merrily in the pumpkins - I'm sure they are quite happy.
  Any time I get a partial jar of fireflies, I open it inside my house, so I get big swarms of them all over. They are so lovely and bright!

- That's awesome. Almost makes me wish I had one of those homes during Zilloween.

- They must be happy in there or they would not glow so brightly. I am sure that they returned to the Bog when the pumpkins rotted. In fact, the rotting must have reminded them of their home making it easier to get back where they belong.

- It's interesting that the obvious connections to the world OUTSIDE the Giants' minds is lost on folks... tree poisonings, relentless mining, acquisition of bedges and trophies for no reason other than to say it's been done... very interesting indeed.

- At least they eat well,some out there are deprived of any food at all.I loved the picture in fact I copied it, WELL DONE to owner.as for the less than immaginary brain in the game,better to eat than to be crystalized for your bank.
