Friendship!

SeerQueen and I were talking about how we miss the friendship and community that TS used to have. I hypothesize that the change is because we all have individual home streets, and are therefore able to spend more time on our own, with our own resources, instead of in the world.

In order to combat this, SeerQueen and I have decided that we’re going to go out into the world every New Day and find three people, three random people, that we will say hi to and give a gift. It doesn’t have to be a big gift, but a small token of our appreciation that they are playing with us, that we are all part of this wacky whole that is one of the best games we have ever played.

We invite everyone to do this, too: to reach out to new people and make new friends every day. The greatest gift of all is each other.

  • It's a hard one for me.  I do like chatting sometimes with a few people on here but then other days I just want to play.  I've learnt the more outgoing I am the more I get im'd in game, and the more im'd I get the less I enjoy the game because I can't play it lol

  • Really nice push. IT would be nice if everyone in Ur adopts this :)

    I do notice some folks never really say hi even if you do say hi to them or emote at them.

    I also can see Arabesque's point as well as know that some really have very little play time, which can be difficult. 

    I also try to give folks stuff and they often give a little something in return which is very sweet to see.

    I love this community but yes, individual home streets might have made some a little more insular so to speak.

    *hugs* and Cheers :D

  • I often don't say "hi" in the street chat, at least, because my fingers are busy and my computer is slow.  I want to, I really want to, but I can't.

    IM works a little better, but I often miss it because I'm struggling with whatever I'm doing and don't notice until you're gone.

    Also, I love giving people things, or using my emo bear or RKing other Glitchen, but again, half the time the other Glitch is gone before I can get the right menu up.

    There's no offense meant, it's just the circumstances of my computer ownership.

  • Very valid points, Carl :D 

    Hmm I wonder if voice chat in game supported by game will ever be viable or indeed wanted.

    Just a thought.

    *hugs* and Cheers :D

  • I love that we can still leave small gifts outside our friends' doors...they've made it so much easier to get to friends home streets than before when they were spread out all over Ur...just hit their profile page, click on their home page, and you can teleport there (for free), if they aren't already on your signpost.  It will be nicer when we have the option to have a mailbox or gift container to leave those gifts in, so others can't come along and take them off the doorstep...but that was the chance we took in the old Ur neighborhoods too.  Just think of this as now you get to choose your neighbors, whereas before, you got what you got. :)

    I always like the idea of trying to do nice things for others in game.  One thing I try to do is RK sleeping glitches when I come across them (when I can find my RK rainbow).

  • I'm not confident that voice chat will work for me, and it kind of scares me, but I'd be willing to try it.

  • Ive been doing this as well, not even knowing about this, frankly by exploring and finding new people, and asking them questions like "If you fed the piggy, why not the butterfly and CHicken?" I found out shortly after in LH...
