Mail Slots

I know of a few people who have started delivering milk or other gifts to their neighbors anonymously.  I think it's a fun practice, and one the anonymity of which should be protected.  (Mental check...yes, that was grammatically correct.  I think.)  However, there is also a problem with people not always receiving these gifts, which makes me sad.  I love how many RAK's are in this game, even without the actual Random Act of Kindness, and I'd love these gifts to see their intended recipients. 

So what if we had mail slots for our houses?  You can anonymously drop something useful into the mail slot, without having to knock on the door and announce your presence, or add someone to your friend list and send them a letter which they know is from you, or even without worrying if the recipient is online or offline, home or wandering about.

I suppose some cons would include people being able to dump undesirable junk into random strangers' houses, but isn't that what the auctions are for, anyways?  And if it truly became a concern, you could limit access of the mail slot to people who live in the same neighborhood, or area. 

Any other opinions, Glitchen?

  • Solve the problem by making the mail slot and giving items a 'giftable' flag, or the mail is delivered into a 'mailbox' and you can accept it or insta-auction it for currants.

  • I too would like to see mail slots! Delivering milk is fun and I'd like the intended recipients to have them.
