wooden plank?

Dragimal's picture
anybody know what's w/ that flat, square... something that looks like a small, wooden plank stuck in the ground? I've seen some screenshots of it outside of the game, so I know people know it's THERE, but has there been any explanation of it, or is it just another one of those odd, mysterious things?

Do you mean Deermuda? Those

Do you mean Deermuda? Those are the only flat/square (or 'suitcase shaped' lol) things stuck in the ground I can think of off the top of my head.

nah, not Deermuda (suitcases? they always looked like stone stumps, to me. it's weird they use that description..)

see how it's square and thin like a plank of wood? it's even kinda jagged at the top, like it was broken at some point. at some angles, it almost looks like a flattened stump (maybe it IS a stump, but there's a glitch?).

it's not too far from the stone steps at the playground, if u want to check it out urself (below the steps and to the right)--

(also, don't mind that double of me-- I accidentally minimized the game window after the first screenshot, so the game inevitably crashed. when I got back, my "past self" was still standing there, but it only stayed for a few minutes, and disappeared right after that 3rd screenshot. 3rd deer included in the second screenshot cus apparently my picto is p popular, so I thought it was funny we all were there at once, aha)

I think that's the ol

I think that's the ol "wallet"

It's one of those odd little TEF things that's never been explained even after all these years.

Aah, yeah, the wallet. lmao,

Aah, yeah, the wallet. lmao, forgot about that one.

What I would guess happened is when M&A were landscaping the Forest, one of the stumps they placed looked like it was sized correctly from one angle, but was actually flat, and it never got fixed (imagine double checking all the trees and objects in the forest... yikes!).

Nah, that's just a nameless deer (a guest user who has not logged into an account). They pretty much always display with your pictogram above them, as of several client versions ago. Everyone else sees their own picto instead of yours.

ahh, alright, that makes

ahh, alright, that makes sense. heh, "wallet", that's an interesting name for it

ohhh I had no idea-- I just assumed all the guests just lacked pictos, aha. now I'm no longer wondering how so many deer got my picto,,,

Yeah that sounds about right (this coming from making maps in Impressive Title/Feral Heart).
