Okay, first of the all, the new carnival stand is adorable and I need all of these dolls. But, that's the thing, I need all of these dolls. So, in a selfish suggestion of mine, I want to suggest to let us bribe the Ruffie, either with a random food or a random toy, every 12 hours / 8 hours for GA holders. I did consider wizard tokens, like the other carnival attractions, but it's a Ruffie. Ruffie doesn't care for shiny currency, but I hope Ruffie cares about that bunch of sausages in my pocket.

Right now, there are, if I counted right, 12 common colors for each pet. With 10 pets released, 120 dolls...is not THAT bad, it's only four months of going to the Ruffie every day to get a doll you don't have or something to trade for a doll you don't have. We have 68 pet species right now, if I remember right, and if the Neela dolls are just not added to the cash shop, that's 804 dolls for 67 pets, plus the 12 Neela ones that could be CS items there. And, if we add the Neela to the Ruffie Raffle, we go up to 816.

I...I personally really like the Ruffie being the way to go and get the common colored ones, to be honest. I think it's a really fine method to go and dispense items, plus that dog is cute as a button, so I don't really want to go and mention alternative ways to get the items out. It is a wonderful concept and I just really really love it.

As for recolored ones, I'll just wait to see how they'll be given out, and hoping we get SO MANY OF THEM AS TOT PRIZES

I'd love to be able to bribe the Ruffie! I like the idea of turning in a food or toy item to do so :)

Echoing you re: ToT prizes because YES.

I agree that that is a very long time to get all of the plushies. If that's 816 plushies and you can only do it once a day, that's 816 days? That's... years isn't it? And that's assuming you get a different one that you need every day and not a repeat.

It should just be once every 12 hours or something. Or like Sopheroo said bribing with an item. Maybe if you visit the Raffle Ruffie with an item in your inventory with "Ruffie" in the name the raffle ruffie would be like "oh is that for me?" then you can sneak an extra ticket while the ruffie's distracted. xD Or is that setting a bad example... Ignore me.

I really like this idea. As you mentioned right now it isn't too bad, but when we start getting other colors and species thrown in that's when it becomes more problematic. Being able to throw the Ruffie a sausage every 12hrs or so would be awesome and cute way to get more of these out.

It's about 2 years and 3 months, actually. And I didn't calculate experiments in that tally, or do not know if they'll be made wearable in the same way.

(I personally hope that experiments will NOT BE ADDED to the ruffie raffle but rather, be an outcome from the zapper. As in, the zapper can MUTATE one of your inventory items in one of the experiment dolls)

I like the idea of being able to bribe him every 8 or 12h. The food/toy idea is absolutely adorable! If ever inflation would be a problem for the items involved, I personally wouldn't mind if it turned into an sP sink in which you click a button to buy -insert his favorite food here- (wouldn't be a real item, just an "excuse").

Edit for example: Like "You have already visited the ruffie today! Running around the fair, you buy a hot dog made with his favorite sausage for 50,000 sP. Maybe you'll be able to give it to him and sneak back into the game while he's eating!" (underlined sentence would be a clickable thing to access the game again and discount the sP)

I sadly wouldn't like to see them as ToT prizes, if only because that means they'll be retired after Morostide and the tendency to inflate / become unavailable to newbies is way too big. :/

How I saw the food/toy is that it would choose a random toy or a random food item from rarity 1 to 79 to bribe the Ruffie with and the bribe item would reset at midnight as well, so people wouldn't be stuck forever with a potentially inflated item.

As for the ToT items, they've been rereleased in the past, and could probably be added to Quentin's questpool after Morostide, if the inflation is such an issue?

That could work! I was thinking along the lines of items with "ruffie" on the name or somehow a more limited pool, but if it was (almost) any toy or any food, it'd work like a quest, which is fine ^^

Yeah, my mind went straight to the rag dolls (and some other wearables), they're cute so everyone wants them and after Morostide they often become much more expensive. Take a lonely rag doll or a co-pilot rag doll for a popular pet species and multiply by 10+, whoever takes an hiatus or is a newbie might have a hard time collecting all x_x

If there's a way to permanently re-release them within certain odds (like Quentin!) I'd be down for it, but having them completely retire to maybe one day come back, when staff finally gets to them among several other collectibles... eh :c

Would this ability to bribe him be a GA perk? I think it would be ok as a perk.

EDIT: I mean that regular users can't bribe, but GAs can.

The GA perk would be the ability to bribe the Ruffie every 8 hours rather than every 12 hours.

I… I want this please. But...

As a combination wearable dispenser and pet item and as an unofficial collection, I can already feel these will already be really popular. :D I don't have the page bookmarked, but I am starting to think I should. (ESPECIALLY IF I CAN STUFF THAT RUFFIE WITH CHICKEN NUGGETS TO GET ANOTHER CHANCE)

Smooth move.

SEE, I CAN BE VERY POSITIVE WHEN I WANT TO.

omg yes, something, anything. They are sooo cute I want them allll. u

I am fully on board with this. Normally I'm not one to jump at 'add another perk so we can do x faster' but almost as soon as these were released I started doing the math and... it will literally take years for anyone to feasibly get all of them. And I don't think it's unreasonable to want all of them, one full set at the very least, and likely multiples of many of them :D In fact, I think a lot of users will. They're just fantastic, and are something that the userbase has wanted for soooooo long! So yes, I support a way to increase our chances to get them!

Well, how soon are the other pet species coming? xD I wouldn't mind an increase because I want them AAAAALL of course. <3

I would like it if it reset at midnight like all the other quests:P but i doubt it would happen.

I agree, I came to these forums to check if anyone else had suggested it yet. Resetting 24 hours after the last time you played is SO friggin annoying and it would be much MUCH better if it was once per day no matter what time you play like all the other once-per-day games on the site.

You can already play as soon as a new day starts. The problem is that the alert is set to notify you 24 hours after you played rather than as soon as you can play again. link

On topic: I'd love to see a bribe option implemented. I'm one of the users who wants to collect them all and that will take weeks, even without new ones or doubles. Plus the added interactivity would be fun. :D

thanks for that info, really appreciate it :D
