ok this is a rant, so if you are not up to it, just leave again.
It's my first time ever posting something here. And thats just because today, i got soooo angry and sad, that I was shaking. And I am not easily offended or made upset. I am usually pretty easy going.
Before I get to the heart of it, this first.
Before the img homes, I lived in Tamila. the only place I have ever lived. Tamila is where my heart is, and always will be.
Long time before the new houses, two friends of mine and me started to populate Tamila, with piggies, chicken and butterflies. First because it was convenient. We just had to step out, run a circle in Tamila and had enough meat to donate.
We always tried to keep up the population. Piggies die, get taken or what not. That's alright. Every week we took the time to fill Tamila up again with about 10 piggies per road.
After the change to the img homes, I , like lots of other glitchens, had other things on my to do list. So I didn't really check the population that much. One ore two times I filled it up again. And every time I could see more glitchens come up to the north to nibble their heart out.
So day before yesterday, I thought to myself: hey fill up Tamila again. 10 to 11 piggies for every street that has trees. And since I do the nibbling tour at least 2 times per RL day, I make sure to water, pet and harvest trees too, so they wouldn't starve.
So this afternoon I made my first tour. And this evening I wanted to make my second tour. BUT… most streets were stripped to about 3-5 piggies. I found one glitchen that was taking piggies with youth potion. And asked why they are doing it.
The answer was:
"Oh we are trying to THIN OUT Tamila and surrounding areas - waaaay too may piggies = Overcrowding - How about instead of 11, keep the numbers below 10? eh? Not enought ppl passing by to water and harvest the trees for them to feed on - on a reg basis, that is" "We are not trying to *clear the area of piggies*...merely trying to keep it at a healthy number, probably 5-7 on one street. "
To make myself clear. There was no street where the piggies where sad and no street without trees that I put piggies on. I am passing by on a regular basis to water and pet trees. I wonder what made them think that they had to clear the region of overcrowding?
I can hear all the complaints already: If you want to nibble piggies go to the HR routes. Well, to be honest, i don't really enjoy it so much to hop form one home street to the other, the whole day. I much more enjoy it to hop through Ur. I don't like to nibble one big pile of pink something. It scares me. I like to nibble piggies that are roaming Ur. I could go to other regions, you might say. But I just like to be in Tamila, it feels like home to me.
So my question is, who are you to decide what is healthy and what is not? Who called the self declared piggie police to decide how another glitchen has to play the game?
rant over…..
