This Pretty Bird Has Had Enough

Sweeny Outfit - not pictured are the bloody rag and straight razor

No, not me. Hyacinth Tiramisu of ~silentsparrow~ has decided not to make her group gifts freely available because of the harassment she has received from greedy bastards. Honestly, if your mother had knitted you a sweater and given it to you as a gift, would you bitch at her about the seams? Tell her you didn't like that color, she needs to make you one in lime green? If you would, then stop reading this now because you're one f*cked-up tw*t. My gradmother (rest her soul) used to knit everyone the most horrendous sweaters and scarves for christmas every year. We all kissed her and thanked her and promply put them on for the first and last time. I still have every single thing she ever made me and I'm damn happy for it.

How can I compare my grandmother's gifts to those of SL designers? It's just common courtesy to thank someone for a gift freely given. Hyacinth's group is comprised of people who all love her and she spoils them like they were really her own. When greedy tw*ts hear she's put out another group gift they all scramble to request entry to the group and harass her to death about how long it takes. Then they take what she's given and leave the group. Some of them even contact her to complain about the gift afterwards. WTF?

Well, she's trying to find a solution to the stupidity and has decided that all former group gifts will only be availlable to newbies under 30 days old. Good for newbies! When she decides to give out something new to her "twittery birds" her group will be closed to new members for (I think) 2 weeks. I hope for her sake that it works. She's a nice lady, just like my grandmother. My grandmother never called everybody to come and dance with her at 3 o'clock in the morning though : )

It's just occured to me that I should have taken these pictures at the ~silentsparrow~ sim. *slaps forehead* D'oh!

If you're under 30 days old take the TP to the store and proceed to the small pool in the second room. Touch the box you'll find there and click "keep" when the blue messages pop up. There's a lot more than what I've pictured here and you'll find your gifts in your objects folder. If Hya's there, say thank you! She doesn't bite. (much)

To the left of the pool by the stairway is the very excellent Lucky Chair. If your letter comes up, congratulations! Now go back to the first room and behind the desk in the front of the store is the group inviter on a blue poster. Touch it and wait. It may take a few days, but so what? It's more than worth it to wait a few days to join one of the most fun groups in SL.

You look very dashing and I think Hya's new group rules are just fine... here'S to no more DRAMA for over-generous, talented designers! YAY!

I couldn't agree more Amethyst. I am very dashing...just kidding! I like to give gifts too, like at christmas or birthdays and if someone acted like an ass I'm sure it would bother me. I really can't imagine that feeling being multiplied that much. I think it shows great fortitude that they're even still giving anything away at all.
Thanks for the comment!
