flitter!

Buzz buzz buzz! That's the sound of your network device receiving a social alert. Maybe you've poked around your device a little bit already, or maybe you haven't, but either way - you're about to have the chance to take part in one of Fable's social apps!

The notification chimes directly from Flitter (the fairy version of Twitter!) And this app is exactly what you would expect. Mostly nonsense scattered among hundreds and thousands of Fleets (Tweets) from the mystical creatures of Fable (and beyond!)

Your device pings you to the following post:

The Fae
@faithtrustpixiedust Flitter

While as fun as they are kind, no one can deny that the Fae have a tendency to be quite mischievous. Giving them access to social media only seems to enhance these feelings! Looks like they want the new inhabitants of Fable - or just anyone who receives a magical notification - to post to Flitter with their spiciest take! Do you have certain opinions on how milky a cup of tea should be? Do you think sprinkles on cupcakes are essential or pointless? No matter the opinion, the Fae want to see it and strike up discussion!

Time to grab the popcorn.
Copy and paste the following code into your comment section to make a Flitter post:

Welcome to Fable's first network social! Please read this before participating!

This social post is open to everyone! This means that you do not have to be a member of Fable to participate! You can think of it like a fun TDM, since network socials like this will happen every month within the game.

We ask that non-Fable residents mark that they're not in-game in their subject line, and that Fable residents use the hashtag #fablenewbies in their posts so that the Fae can find them! After all, they wanted to see some exciting conversations brewing within Fable, but outsiders are more than welcome to chime in as well. Feel free to assume that Flitter is just as big of a dumpster fire as real Twitter. The code is only required for a toplevel, but replies can be written in a text font (like courier.)

Lastly, while we love IC banter, please remember to be civil and familiarise yourself with the game rules. Have fun!

I think taking tests is a lot of fun but not many people seem to share this opinion... #fablenewbies

I took a test of courage recently and it was a lot of fun. Some feel a lot of pressure when taking tests so maybe that's why.

[demonicbookworm]

I was referring more to written tests. I think I wouldn't be good with a courage test...

[descender]

What do you like about written tests? It is a way to prove oneself technically so I can kind of see that.

[demonicbookworm]

I just think that they're a nice way to see how much you've learned!

[fullgauntlet]

I think tests are fun too, so long as you prepare and study for them they aren't so bad? It's a great way to see where you are academically too!

[#nerds]

[demonicbookworm]

Exactly! And it's always so fun to see how much you've learned.

[Grabs your hands. Friend!!]

[fullgauntlet]

[Holds hands!!]

I think so too! That way I can improve where I need to. It's really rewarding.

[demonicbookworm]

Yes! I'm glad you agree! I really thought I'm the only one who feels this way!

[veardant]

I don't mind tests either, but I think the pressure gets to a lot of people.

[demonicbookworm]

Ah, I can understand that, too. Not wanting to fail can be very stressful...

[veardant]

Yes, instructors often put great weight on tests.

Though I don't necessarily agree with just how much weight. Tests don't always show how much you've learned, often just how much you've memorized.

[demonicbookworm]

I can't disagree with that.

My memory is actually one thing I have a bit of confidence in so maybe this is why I like tests so much.

typo is intentional

[dendrosprout]

I think their really stressful!!!!

[demonicbookworm]

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Maybe we could study together so it's not so stressful?

[dendrosprout]

Are you sure I wouldn't hold you back? I have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to reading and writing and studying.

[demonicbookworm]

Not at all! I used to teach my friend how to read and write, too! I'll do my best to help!

[earphoned]

Tests... as in tests of courage?

[demonicbookworm]

Written tests! I think I wouldn't be able to handle a test of courage.

[earphoned]

If you like these so much... what about taking a test now? I can give you one if you're interested.

[demonicbookworm]

Oh, sure! That sounds like fun!

@moon

[wishdom]

I've never written one, but they sound really fun! They sound almost like riddles.

[demonicbookworm]

You should give it a try if you get a chance! Are you enjoying riddles?

[wishdom]

I do! Even if they're a little puzzling.

[ Can you sense the General Mahamatra influence. ]

What was the hardest test you have taken?

[demonicbookworm]

The hardest one... I'm not sure.

Ah, but there was one where I have got a very embarrassing score. It was below 80%... I couldn't bring myself to show it to my parents.
