...how did I never make the connection between Eris Lord Freedom and you?
Because I entered Glitch with *absolutely no connections* to anything else I'd done or been online, and barely hinted at a connection when I joined this comm. I could've joined as elfwreck. (Glad I didn't; finding Global with that name would've been just *bizarre.*)
I haven't gone to BayCon since before it left the Doubletree; I'd like to at least visit but can't promise I can get there. (BART doesn't go to BayCon.) I would *love* a Scion of Purple ribbon.
I managed to accomplish (with much help) everything I really wanted to in the game. I not only got my nifty tower built with the Purple Room and disco ball (which, when I decided I wanted it, I had no idea existed in-game), I got to advertise it on Global: "Come to my tower for free purple essence, purple flowers, and teleport scripts to Aranna if you need that quest!" I learned all the skills. (I donated a lot of Yellow Flower Essence to make that happen.) I went to all the lands on the maps, and several secret areas. I got on the pictured leaderboard in a feat.
I had been looking forward to spending a year or more doing those things, instead of cramming them into three weeks, but I didn't feel lacking in experiences, just time.
I am very happy to know RL people who played Glitch because it's going to stick with me for a long, long time, and six years from now when it's a blip in internet history, I want people to whom I can say, "this is absolutely preposterous!" and they'll reply "I agree wholeheartedly." And I want to make cookie-molds shaped like the emblems, and I want to know that *someone* will appreciate them.
I intend to make my Glitch outfit to wear to PantheaCon, and see if anyone recognizes it. (Not sure how to do the eyes. Got my husband working on that part.)
