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!

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

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: (oh man...)

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.

Don't get me wrong, having a good memory is excellent to have, and absolutely helps academically. It's simply that memorizing a fact is very different from understanding it. Ideally, one would do both. There's nothing wrong with enjoying tests.

Oh, of course. Learning something without understand it wouldn't be good.

What do you find fun to do?

Academically speaking? Hmm. Working in the field, I'd say. I like to get hands on. But I also enjoy a good lecture or seminar.

Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun! Debates on various subjects are nice, too. I have a friend who is a priestess and we could talk for hours about topics related to our world's belief system and Church.

That's certainly a complicated topic. I don't mind debates, but they're not always my cup of tea, at least, formal ones. Academic discussions with friends, however.. those are always interesting.
demonicbookworm: (thinking)

A formal debate would require a lot of preparation. I guess it would've been stressful, too.

[personal profile] veardant 2023-01-29 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, stressful and often frustrating, if your opponent doesn't have a brain to speak of.

Ah, I see... It's difficult to convince someone who doesn't want to listen...
veardant: (020)

[personal profile] veardant 2023-02-01 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed, but that aside, debating with friends can certainly be much more fun. I enjoy an academic conversation or two.
