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:

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!

Oh, he really hates this thing. He's going to enter his boomer era because of this. ]


This is so redundant. Why not just use the mailboxes that already exist?

It's much faster.
Maybe it's going to be easier if you think of it as the akasha system but for communicating with people?
Everyone is within your reach and all you have to do is to pick up your device and start typing a message.

Didn't you decide that the akasha did more harm than good?

[ Or, at least, this is his impression for why it went away... ]

I guess it could be nice if it saves me the trouble of having to meet people face-to-face.

You're right. I wouldn't say that the design was flawless, but the harm it caused had its roots in how it was used. Perhaps if it was used in a different way, it wouldn't be such an issue.

[ There's no guarantee, but Flitter doesn't seem too harmful, at least at a first glance. ]

I'm glad that you're paying attention to what I'm saying (◠‿◠✿)
But make sure to go out at least once in a while.

[ Did she just tell him to touch grass??? Well, she is the Dendro Archon, I guess... ]

You don't have to worry about that. If anything it's been strange to stay in one place for this long.

[ That was the true meaning of the messages, yes... ]

We can go on a trip sometime if you'd like.
Unless you'd rather travel alone.
