Please stop the pictogram adoptions

We are getting too many requests from people giving and receiving pictograms. We don't have time to fulfill all of them. We will do our best to get to through the requests we have already received. But please stop sending these. Our time is better spent making more things for the game than swapping around pictograms.

I realize that this functionality could be automated. But as I don't consider pictogram swapping to be part of the play experience as we see it, again I'd rather program something that is instead.

oh man I was afraid this

oh man I was afraid this would come at some point. understandable. anyway, I apologize Michael for making a whole blog for that stuff. I'll go and delete it now.

Plans? that does sound vaguely intriguing.

Huh, and here I thought people were just giving the username and password to people that they are "giving" the pictograms to. I'm glad I never got involved.

I've only ever given away 1 Picto, and I only gave away the Username/Password. I can understand the need to change it to some people but I didn't know it was getting this bad.

Sorry that there has been so much trouble with this, I hope this clears up for you guys and I wonder what you guys are working on now for the game. *crosses fingers for more Spells to cast* >>

I'm so glad this was mentioned and is now banned. It was really bothering me. When people care that much about pictograms it does come off as very shallow and takes away from the play experience.

Hey! The current registration for deer accounts has been playing around a lot lately. (see here: http://tale-of-tales.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9416)

Although luckily, I have a link you can use to register your deer. Just type your username onto the end of this link below, and your account should activate! Smiling

Pickles: 'Bump' means that

Pickles: 'Bump' means that they have bumped the blog back to the top of the Recent Posts page. Commenting on any blog will do this, but saying 'bump' is just a way of expressing that the poster thinks that the blog is relevant and deserves more attention.

I see this get bumped up an awful lot despite the fact that all the new 'adoption' threads have specifically stated not to contact m&a about password or name changes.
It makes me wonder if people just bump when they see the threads and don't bother reading them.

Hey guys, I'm just bumping

Hey guys, I'm just bumping this only to say "please be careful". It's mostly for those who didn't know this happened last year. I've checked the posts about gen 1 pictos and they do not mention this thread so that is why there is this friendly bump.

Another Reason they don't

Another Reason they don't endorse picto-trading:

Quote:
We see the generations of pictograms as part of the fiction of the game. Deer with older pictograms have been playing the game for longer and are more experienced, can help new players, etc. Also, generations create a sort of family-feeling with grandparents, parents, nieces, nephews, etc. It's nice, it's natural. Please respect this.

^ Deyna, I completely agree

^ Deyna, I completely agree with it, hey. Personally, I dislike feeling as though the social history of the game i've played, the thing i've loved, has been whipped out and muddled around completely, behind me. Its also sad not to be able to trust my gut or fuzzy warm memory about deer i come across, who's pictos i've seen previously in the forest, knowing they could be some entirely different user Sad

Absolutely I can understand and can empathize on some levels with people who people want these pictograms, but still...
Also I can understand and can empathize on some levels with people who want to log thousand year old trees in Tasmania. But still. (Its a different and extreme example, i know, but for me theres a faint echo)
