Babette's Item Drive

May 16, 2016 2:24 pm

Ahoy, mateys! Some o' ye may 'ave noticed lately that I 'ave been packin' a little extra treasure in me booty. Well, I’m here t' tell ye that as much as I love me grub AND me rotund body, me 'n Angrybeard are actually expectin' a wee pirate cub.

Ye can hold back th' congratulations, I don't wants ye all natterin' at me at once. It weren’t exactly th' biggest challenge I’ve faced in life - I used t' sail th' seas meself once upon a time, 'n got into plenty o' fights! How do ye reckon Angrybeard 'n I met?

Anyway, wha' I’m here fer today be t' ask fer yer help in a wee project I been thinkin' about - a site wide treasur....I mean item drive! It must be me hormones, 'cause I’m feelin' a mite charitable. I’m lucky enough t' 'ave me inn 'n me mateys around me…and sometimes Angrybeard, but plenty o' families in Subeta don’t be so lucky. So I’m thinkin' we go collectin' together as many items as we can, 'n I can be setting up a donation fer Charity t' sort out as she will. I reckon t' make it a wee more fun - we'll only accept th' items that 'ave a color in thar name - 'n th' color that gets donated th' most will be th' color I’ll potion me cub!

Come visit me t' donate yer items - or check if yer items are acceptable. We be acceptin' R1-199 so thar be a lot o' things that we’ll take! I expect we'll end this once I'm done…expectin'. It's gonna happen soon, I predict about a week from now! I'll end th' drive when it’s time, nae like I needs t' rest or anythin'. 'n no, thar are no item prizes fer takin' part. It’s fer charity! I suppose I can throw in a forum title fer participatin'.

Now wha' are ye stiill doin' here?

Translation: Hello, friends! Some of you MIGHT have noticed lately that I may have put on a little weight. Which I’m fine with! I’m here to confirm that I actually am pregnant! Angrybeard and I are very happy about it.

It’s ok, I don’t need your congratulations! It’s really not a big thing. I’ve done things like sail the seas and fought in great battles - this is easy by comparison!

Anyway - what I’m here for today is to ask you fine people in a little project I’ve been contemplating - a site wide item drive! I think my hormones are making me feel a little charitable. I’m lucky enough to have a business of my own and my family and friends around me, but there are many families in Subeta that aren’t so lucky. So I was thinking that we could collect together as many items as we can to put together as a donation for Charity to pass on! To put a little fun spin on it, we’ll just collect items with colors in their names, and the color that gets donated the most will be the color I’ll potion my cub!

Come visit me to donate your items - or check if your items are acceptable. I'm accepting R1-199 items so there’s a lot of things that I’ll take! I plan to run this Item Drive up until my cub arrives, which I feel will be about a week from now! There are no item prizes for giving items as it’s for charity, but I will be able to throw in a forum title for participators.

Now, off to donate items!

- Oh! I didn't see it way down there. I expected it to be up with the paragraph at the top of the page. It'd be nice if it could be moved up on the page, but either way, thank you for finally adding it. :)

May 21, 2016, 5:37 pm by

click the "need help?" button on the page

May 21, 2016, 5:33 pm by

- So that list... :x We only have two days left, and we still don't know what we're actually doing.

May 20, 2016, 12:27 pm by

Is there a place we can go to actually see what color is in the lead? Cause I feel I missed something with these recent comments. o.O

May 20, 2016, 11:18 am by

Darn it, marsh doesn't seem popular. It's okay, I'm invested. Plus, I'm enjoying buying out cheaper marsh items to raise prices. Yay!

May 20, 2016, 12:30 am by

- Thank you :D

May 20, 2016, 12:25 am by

I made the list and passed it on to Grace to add to the page; she must've forgotten to push it. Will catch up with her to figure out what happened!

May 19, 2016, 11:35 pm by

- Are you still going to make a list?

May 19, 2016, 9:14 pm by

I'm not able to give her Spectrum Bucket(s) :(

May 18, 2016, 9:54 am by

Can't donate any of my nuclear lifelike plushies, but I can donate llplushies of every other color so far.

May 17, 2016, 10:03 pm by

You say participate for the forum title - but does that mean X number of items that we have to guess at? Because I pulled out a page worth of stuff and probably donated 20 something items before I ran out of donatable things but is that enough?

May 17, 2016, 9:56 pm by

I can't donate Spectrum Microwave.

May 17, 2016, 6:14 pm by

So... what color does it count for if I donate a Cream Covered Orange?

May 17, 2016, 5:36 pm by

If I donate csc cards, does that make him a trust fund baby? :p

May 17, 2016, 5:10 pm by

Going for the Gold--literally~! Looks like I'll be doing a lot of treasure (ahahaha) hunting for a while. So that Babette can have her own little treasure. Ubububu, so cute, aaaa.

May 17, 2016, 3:29 pm by

This is so precious, she's having a cub! I can't wait until we meet the little bugger. <3

May 17, 2016, 2:29 pm by

Great..even pixelated bears can have babies and I can't... Think I'll avoid the news page for the next couple weeks. And yes, the fertility meds I'm on make me irrationally emotional.

May 17, 2016, 11:04 am by

Because bloodred isn't an option, the bloodred items = basic red.

Which is cool if you want basic red, of course, but it's definitely not the same as bloodred.

May 17, 2016, 10:04 am by

So basically all we have to do is donate 1 item since there's no prize for donating more. OK. I've donated a lot of dusk items because they're pretty cheap.

May 17, 2016, 8:09 am by

Why are we not flooding this with bloodred items. I want to see a terrible little murder child who is not allowed on any carpets.

May 17, 2016, 7:11 am by

I think the cub should be Gold or Silver, simply because it reminds me of pirate treasure. Aqua is also fitting, as it is reminiscent of the sea. Twilight is also another good choice to me, but I can't think of why...

May 17, 2016, 6:15 am by

I was expecting to get blocked because I don't have access to omen islands. I'm glad that's not the case.

May 17, 2016, 3:41 am by

oh maybe silver

May 17, 2016, 3:41 am by

so what color does gray go towards? Arid? Or Twilight?

May 17, 2016, 2:25 am by

In before Pink Girl, Blue Boy trope.

May 17, 2016, 1:12 am by

This is cute but kind of needlessly tedious. I'm guessing the true goal of this is to siphon tons of items offsite and possibly raise user shop prices a bit (which is awesome), but this one-item-at-a-time/page reload thing (combined with not knowing how much we've donated or need to donate is a real turnoff. shrug

May 17, 2016, 1:06 am by

I concur that if the object of this is to get people to donate items from their hoard, I would have at least tier achievements of up to 100. Also being able to pick the color of the newborn is a cool idea. ❤

May 17, 2016, 1:01 am by

I'm hoping for Aqua, Gold, Marsh, or Silver. Sad that some people suggested a gold pirate baby but no one suggested Silver. ;.; Anyway, I'd love it if we could get statistics so we could know which colors are getting the most donations. As someone else said, it might encourage us to donate for our favorite colors.

May 17, 2016, 12:47 am by

So.....this is like Babette's baby shower?

May 17, 2016, 12:42 am by

I'm going to donate a boat load of pink items from my vault. And then blue items.

May 17, 2016, 12:14 am by

Did Aqua and Purple yay :) Probably donate more of those two later.

May 17, 2016, 12:11 am by

I vended then donated. Not sure what color I really want, so I just donated what I had. :-)

May 16, 2016, 11:28 pm by

...Time to shove a lot of red in for Cherry!

May 16, 2016, 10:53 pm by

Non-colorfill NPCs would be interesting anyday though. With the Subetan landfills now festering with over 20k unique items per user, all the chemical byproduct is sure to have an affect on the first characters born in the last decade.

May 16, 2016, 10:44 pm by

I love me some forum titles.

May 16, 2016, 10:43 pm by

How fun! I

May 16, 2016, 10:41 pm by

Special colors aren't available options. Only the basic "colorfill" ones as has been mentioned many times.

May 16, 2016, 10:38 pm by

DONATE YOUR NOSTALGIC ITEMS LETS MAKE SOME WHEELIE BEARS!

May 16, 2016, 10:32 pm by

It'd be nice to add the achievement or the number of items needed in the news

May 16, 2016, 10:16 pm by

i also am curious as to how items with multiple colors in the name will work. do they count for all colors in the name, or just the first, or what?
violet and turquoise don't seem to count, even though they pretty clearly correspond to lilac and aqua.

May 16, 2016, 10:16 pm by

I wish you could donate those items, spectrum would be a cool cub color. it's only the colorfill colors so like dawn/pink, dusk/blue, etc. I think they're working on a list of the items you can donate to be clearer :)

May 16, 2016, 10:14 pm by

Thanks for the tip. Someone put in a lot of thought into this colour donation thing. I figured rainbow might go for spectrum. I think the others were fruit flavors so makes sense.

May 16, 2016, 10:06 pm by

Why could I not donate the violet glam rock pirate bandana? Violet is a color last time I checked?

May 16, 2016, 10:05 pm by

May 16, 2016, 10:04 pm by

Oh okay, that's awesome. I'm indecisive so Lol thanks for the answer :)

May 16, 2016, 10:03 pm by

You can donate more than one color if you want. :) For example, if you're really hoping for a cream cub or dusk, you could donate a bunch of blue/dusk items and tan/cream!

May 16, 2016, 10:02 pm by

Can you only pick one color?

May 16, 2016, 10:00 pm by

lol you can donate CSC cards, be careful!

May 16, 2016, 9:54 pm by

Oh hey awesome, a fun way to get rid of some clutter I can't sell.

But wait...It's not happening...blank white page, blank white page, 502, oh yes blank white page.

headdesks So what happened to the site working better??

May 16, 2016, 9:36 pm by

NO ONE WANTS COMMON, GOSH.

But yeah, I can do a list. :)
