Hot Topic: New features of

recent testsBy KitkatCat

According to Test notes Aug 2 5, the

collection of butterfly milk and meat

will slow dramatically due to their

collectors being fixed. From now on,

Butterfly Milkers and Meat Collectors

will only collector one at a time, i.e.:

One will fill and overflow into another.

However, if one owns 6 of each

collector, it will be less efficient as

collection success rates will drop. It

has been tinkered with several times

by the devs since the original intention

was to have only one working collector

and milker. However, due to player

opinion, that was changed so that

players can profit through milk and

meat collecting but not abuse the

collection. There is also a change in

butterfly milker prices, the original 200

currant vendor price rising to 400

currants. Besides the collector and

milker issues, there are also 2 new,interesting skills added to the skill tree.

Piety and Martial Imagination dont

seem to have such as great use so far,

but that mystery was solved in the

Rook Museum, which opened duringthe Aug 11-18 Test.

The Rook Museum wasnt the only

thing that opened during the recent

test. There was also the exciting Game

of Crowns, accessible through yellowCrown Game Teleporters liberally

scattered throughout the game world.

Lots of Glitches had fun playing the 3

player Tagging game, stealing and

defending their crowns.

Well, thats about all there is, as far as

this reporter can recall. We are looking

forward to the next test, hopefully as

long as the last, week long test.

Nekkid Conga Line:

The Right to BareArmsBy bored

Everyone at one point or another has seen a

nekkid Glitch. Some tolerate it, some love it,

some hate it, and a few are appalled by it.

However on 8/4/11, this nekkid thing went

too far. Several Glitchers were seenparading nekkid through Plexus. A few

unfortunate passersby happened upon the

event. Some of the more like- minded tried to

join, while others ran away, including a dev.

While most of the offenders were nekkid, one

Glitcher, RainyRain, declined to fully undress

(or unfully dress) for the event. When asked

as to the reason why, she stated that her

love for Cosma superceded her love for

nekkidness.

When asked for comment, stoot barfield

simply said " ... ignoring is sometimes the

best practice..."

Prisencolinensinaincius

ol- A word to the wiseBy Bored

7/29/11

was a

Glitching

day likeany other-

butterflies

were being milked, trees petted, projects

being worked on. Everything seemed fine,

until a strange voice came over the music

system. No one knew what the voice was

saying. it kept repeating this word or phrase

over and over again. One Glitcher thought it

was saying something about raising cows. I

thought it was a subliminal message to drink

Pepsi.

The insanity went on for several minutes,

confusing and panicking some, while

fascinating others. Eventually a message

from GOD came, stating that the word,

prisencolinensinainciusol, would go away ifthe game was refreshed. So everyone did,

and peace was restored.

But what does that word mean? It's not in the

dictionary or in a foreign language. It's not a

strange chemical compound. Nor is it a

brand of soft drink. No one seems to know,

or care, about its origin, but this

reporter deems to find out... one day.

Until then, I'll go back to chasing

butterflies.

We have recently found out that a certain

Glitchen had typed the word in chat.

According to forum sources, they were

playing a word game to guess word

definitions. Then, prisencolinensinainciusol

started! Of course, we all know this word has

no meaning or whatsoever.

If you happen to want to relive the earache

experience, we can provide you with a link tothe sound file. Listen to it over, and over, and

over, again, until you decide that you had

enough. Who knows, we might hold a

competition to see who can listen to the

endless repetition the longest.

iDer Rook iz coming!

Or came, or will come.By KitkatCat. Pictures by Cats1524 and Glitch Strategy wiki.

After some in depth research about past

Rook Attacks, as well as screenshot

submissions, I found enough information to

cover this page. But first things first: What IS

a Rook?

The Glitch Strategy wiki description of the

Rook is a collective noun referring to the

evil, crow-like creatures which exist on the

same plane as the Giants and are constantly

buzzing at them, dive-bombing, attacking

and trying to eat the Giants imagination. The

Rook is dark and opposes all creativity. And

they will try to attack the game world,

especially locations which are left a little too

neglected This is taken from the Glitch

blog, and will pass as the Glitch devs

definitions of the Rook. Now, Rook attacks, I

hear you ask? Here as some pictures of the

carnage.. (cont. next page)

Some of the Rooks

mysteries were

unraveled at the

mysterious Rook

Museum, on the

Mezzanine floor of the

Jeth Tower, accessible

through Tower St West. It showed thehistory of Rook Attacks, moving

images of long gone Glitchlings

battling flocks of Rooks. But most

importantly, it showed people HOW to

use Piety and Martial Imagination. It

showed scenes of ancient

Glitches stunning Rooks and

priming

shrines.

In game troubles

The Problem with Ix..By daniel5457

Recently a few glitches have had problems

loading Ix. I, daniel5457, also have a problemloading Ix. The flash player would always

crash. A few days ago I decided to say on the

help chat that I was still had problems with Ix.

Araldia tried helping me. But every time it

didn't work. When she tried summoning me

into Ix I accepted but nothing happened."Congrats! I think you're broken!" said

Araldia. We had had found a new bug. The

next day I tried going to Ix in IE. It worked

once (yay!) but the next time I tried I had to

reboot the computer.

Whats your take on it? Do you have the

same problems? Comment on our blog

guestbook, or our Forums thread!
