Community Kitchen -- Now Operational

A while back, inspired by an Ideas Forum posting that WindBorn pointed out, I posted a proposal for a "Community Kitchen. That proposal needed to be re-worked to fit with current game features and mechanics, but I wanted to let everyone know that we have a Community Kitchen that is now operational.

The Community Kitchen is a group whose mission is to prepare food for distribution to the community in ways that will enhance the game experience (especially for newer players) and in ways that will contribute to creating social spaces where people can meet new people, chat within a shared context, form friendships, find ways to help each other, etc. The Community Kitchen also offers advice on completing quests and achievements, and opportunities to gain XP by cooking from Recipe Bags and Recipe Boxes. To add to the fun, Moz Art recently has created Food ChallengeUr, and we hope to have additional challenges and contests in the future.

When group halls are introduced, we'd like to have a place where players can drop in at any time, refill their energy and mood, socialize, find partners for cooperative activities, etc. In the meantime, since creating a persistent social space of this kind does not seem possible with the current game, we aim to provide food for temporary social spaces and ad hoc public events (when we know of them) to help make them a fun experience. In addition, we hope to encourage a pro-social culture in Glitch by following the example of the generous players who leave gifts of food for others to find, and by contributing food to efforts such as the Sandbox group's Operation Welcome Wagon.

Membership in the Community Kitchen group is by invitation, and any current member can invite. Currently, there are four levels of membership: Kitchen Keepers are experienced players who act as the group's administrators.  Senior Cooks are players who have reached at least level 25, have mastered at most or all of the cooking skills, and have significant cooking achievements. Kitchen Staff are players who participate in the work of the Community Kitchen by gathering ingredients or preparing meals. Supporters are players who like what the group is doing; nothing is expected of supporters other than that they be civil and constructive if they choose to participate in the group's discussion board.

If you'd like to join the Community Kitchen group, you can request an invitation from any current member or post your request in a comment below.

  • Ooh, I'd love to be a part of this, if I may. As it is, I like to give people food as I pass by them, especially if they are lower leveled so they don't have to die like I did when I was still a young Glitchen.

    @Hyacinth - I'd love to hear more of your thoughts regarding surrogate community space. If you see me in game and want to discuss, please IM me.

  • I'd love to help out! I have all the cooking related skills and I'm fond of creating mass amounts of food to spam poor glitchens with~

  • Needle Freak, Hoyden Nova, Rue Bird - you have all been invited. Again, thanks to all who have expressed interest and support.

    To everyone who has requested or will request an invitation:  When you join the group, the software automatically makes you a Supporter. A group admin will eventually contact you to find out whether you want to be a Kitchen Staff or Senior Cook, but if you want to contact us proactively, that would be great.  Feel free to IM me if you see me in-game, or send mail, or post in the group discussion board.
