Hi all. Ty 5s for consolidating this info.

I just spent ages writing a near thesis on gifting and visiting and the blinking editor chewed it up and laughed in my face! ##%%*<<£€€!!!

So instead, I'll just say, see above, "what she said".

Also, I wanna vent. I know it's probably pointless, because you guys, almost by definition (because you are here and reading this), are not, repeat NOT, the targets of my vent.

No, my vent is about players who cannot be arsed to learn how the game is played. Who receive one or even two of my precious ten per day, then don't see the need to send even a freebie in return. Or are so clueless they dont realise they CAN send gifts, even though all others around them are capable of doing just that.

OR They have not worked out how to progress beyond page one of the Free Gift menu, sending me fluff, or tar or str1ng. Sorry.

Pressing the red x seems too easy. I want to HELP them, these level 40somethings, who will soon need all the help they can get. I want to donate coins to level 20 and thirtsomethings, send drums and herons and poppies to the lvl 57 player that suddenly needs 57 new kinds of fixers.

I want to do this because, like a loving parent, I know what lies ahead. (cue violins). But not if they behave like bloody teenagers forever!

One of my friends has been on a one-woman crusade, changing her name to pointed messages aimed at the slow learners. Dana? You out here in wikia land? Well done, that grrl! Have a koala stamp. 🐨

I too, when sending a return gift as thanks for the 113th pot of tar from a friend, will put "UseGreenArro" in my name field. If only we could use the punctuation characters as well.

So here is my point. Finally.

What if we had a Darkwood Day of Action? What if we ALL bombarded those recalcitrants in our lists with none too subtle messages via our name fields? We could make it go viral. It could be a cultural revolution, we could wage a re-education campaign, 12 characters at a time.

Waddaya say, comrades? Are you with me? 🇦🇺🇻🇳🇹🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸

It would be a day when we send nothing but string and tar and fluff, all suitably labelled. So comrades grab a Texta and some cardboard and start composing those pithy 12 character slogans.

Then we can choose a day and flashmob the sh1t out of Darkwood!
