network social #1

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

New Fable villagers!!!!!! Give us ur most spicy take! GO!!! #fablenewbies

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!

There is no need for unkind words.

However, I don't quite see your perspective. Nothing you said struck me as particularly unintelligent. If you would provide a better example.

[ ...it's only going to become a heavier load to bear. ]

[inceptor]

Someone just called me their "bro". I think that speaks for itself.

[ HE IS NO ONE'S BRO. ]

[rainswords]

That's quite forward of them to act familiar with a stranger. Perhaps it was an attempt to be friendly? Consider asking them to refer to you by your name only.

[ what about... no wait xq doesn't know that. ]

[inceptor]

Given the intelligence of the one who did it, I think even that is a very big ask.

[ Sorry, Itto, but he's right. ]

[rainswords]

You won't even consider making the attempt?

[ bro for life then. ]

[inceptor]

I can recognize a lost cause when I see one.

[rainswords]

Then you've accepted that this person may refer to you as "bro" from now on?

[inceptor]

No, I'll just ignore their messages until they stop trying to befriend me.

[rainswords]

Excuse me but isn't there an error in your judgment? If you don't believe them capable of understanding that you do not wish to be called "bro" then ignoring their messages really won't make your disinterest clear. They will probably continue to contact you.

[inceptor]

You dare to question my judgment, mortal?

[ .......but he has a point. Damn. ]

I'll try to get them to stop. Once. Any more effort than that will be wasted.

[rainswords]

Pardon me then, my intention was not to offend. I only meant to assist, I now understand you have no need for my aid.

But would you be willing to sate my curiosity?

[inceptor]

[ He doesn't like where this is going... ]

That depends on what you're about to ask. If it's something stupid, then no, I won't.

[rainswords]

Don't worry, I won't pry into your private matters. Oh. Well. Then that means I have no questions for you. I'll just have to alleviate my curiosity through mere assumptions and suppositions.
