Babette's Item Drive
Ahoy, mateys! Some o' ye may 'ave noticed lately that I 'ave been packin' a little extra treasure in me booty. Well, I’m here t' tell ye that as much as I love me grub AND me rotund body, me 'n Angrybeard are actually expectin' a wee pirate cub.
Ye can hold back th' congratulations, I don't wants ye all natterin' at me at once. It weren’t exactly th' biggest challenge I’ve faced in life - I used t' sail th' seas meself once upon a time, 'n got into plenty o' fights! How do ye reckon Angrybeard 'n I met?
Anyway, wha' I’m here fer today be t' ask fer yer help in a wee project I been thinkin' about - a site wide treasur....I mean item drive! It must be me hormones, 'cause I’m feelin' a mite charitable. I’m lucky enough t' 'ave me inn 'n me mateys around me…and sometimes Angrybeard, but plenty o' families in Subeta don’t be so lucky. So I’m thinkin' we go collectin' together as many items as we can, 'n I can be setting up a donation fer Charity t' sort out as she will. I reckon t' make it a wee more fun - we'll only accept th' items that 'ave a color in thar name - 'n th' color that gets donated th' most will be th' color I’ll potion me cub!
Come visit me t' donate yer items - or check if yer items are acceptable. We be acceptin' R1-199 so thar be a lot o' things that we’ll take! I expect we'll end this once I'm done…expectin'. It's gonna happen soon, I predict about a week from now! I'll end th' drive when it’s time, nae like I needs t' rest or anythin'. 'n no, thar are no item prizes fer takin' part. It’s fer charity! I suppose I can throw in a forum title fer participatin'.
Now wha' are ye stiill doin' here?
Translation: Hello, friends! Some of you MIGHT have noticed lately that I may have put on a little weight. Which I’m fine with! I’m here to confirm that I actually am pregnant! Angrybeard and I are very happy about it.
It’s ok, I don’t need your congratulations! It’s really not a big thing. I’ve done things like sail the seas and fought in great battles - this is easy by comparison!
Anyway - what I’m here for today is to ask you fine people in a little project I’ve been contemplating - a site wide item drive! I think my hormones are making me feel a little charitable. I’m lucky enough to have a business of my own and my family and friends around me, but there are many families in Subeta that aren’t so lucky. So I was thinking that we could collect together as many items as we can to put together as a donation for Charity to pass on! To put a little fun spin on it, we’ll just collect items with colors in their names, and the color that gets donated the most will be the color I’ll potion my cub!
Come visit me to donate your items - or check if your items are acceptable. I'm accepting R1-199 items so there’s a lot of things that I’ll take! I plan to run this Item Drive up until my cub arrives, which I feel will be about a week from now! There are no item prizes for giving items as it’s for charity, but I will be able to throw in a forum title for participators.
Now, off to donate items!

@grelca - Oh! I didn't see it way down there. I expected it to be up with the paragraph at the top of the page. It'd be nice if it could be moved up on the page, but either way, thank you for finally adding it. :)
Is there a place we can go to actually see what color is in the lead? Cause I feel I missed something with these recent comments. o.O
Darn it, marsh doesn't seem popular. It's okay, I'm invested. Plus, I'm enjoying buying out cheaper marsh items to raise prices. Yay!
Can't donate any of my nuclear lifelike plushies, but I can donate llplushies of every other color so far.
Going for the Gold--literally~! Looks like I'll be doing a lot of treasure (ahahaha) hunting for a while. So that Babette can have her own little treasure. Ubububu, so cute, aaaa.
Great..even pixelated bears can have babies and I can't... Think I'll avoid the news page for the next couple weeks. And yes, the fertility meds I'm on make me irrationally emotional.
@delsomebody
Because bloodred isn't an option, the bloodred items = basic red.
Which is cool if you want basic red, of course, but it's definitely not the same as bloodred.

So basically all we have to do is donate 1 item since there's no prize for donating more. OK. I've donated a lot of dusk items because they're pretty cheap.
Why are we not flooding this with bloodred items. I want to see a terrible little murder child who is not allowed on any carpets.
I think the cub should be Gold or Silver, simply because it reminds me of pirate treasure. Aqua is also fitting, as it is reminiscent of the sea. Twilight is also another good choice to me, but I can't think of why...
I was expecting to get blocked because I don't have access to omen islands. I'm glad that's not the case.
This is cute but kind of needlessly tedious. I'm guessing the true goal of this is to siphon tons of items offsite and possibly raise user shop prices a bit (which is awesome), but this one-item-at-a-time/page reload thing (combined with not knowing how much we've donated or need to donate is a real turnoff. shrug
I concur that if the object of this is to get people to donate items from their hoard, I would have at least tier achievements of up to 100.
Also being able to pick the color of the newborn is a cool idea. :heart:

I'm hoping for Aqua, Gold, Marsh, or Silver. Sad that some people suggested a gold pirate baby but no one suggested Silver. ;.;
Anyway, I'd love it if we could get statistics so we could know which colors are getting the most donations. As someone else said, it might encourage us to donate for our favorite colors.

Non-colorfill NPCs would be interesting anyday though. With the Subetan landfills now festering with over 20k unique items per user, all the chemical byproduct is sure to have an affect on the first characters born in the last decade.
@Holden Special colors aren't available options. Only the basic "colorfill" ones as has been mentioned many times.
1. i also am curious as to how items with multiple colors in the name will work. do they count for all colors in the name, or just the first, or what?
2. violet and turquoise don't seem to count, even though they pretty clearly correspond to lilac and aqua.

@Sunfire103
I wish you could donate those items, spectrum would be a cool cub color. it's only the colorfill colors so like dawn/pink, dusk/blue, etc. I think they're working on a list of the items you can donate to be clearer :)

@kbbob
Thanks for the tip. Someone put in a lot of thought into this colour donation thing. I figured rainbow might go for spectrum. I think the others were fruit flavors so makes sense.

Why could I not donate the violet glam rock pirate bandana? Violet is a color last time I checked?
Oh hey awesome, a fun way to get rid of some clutter I can't sell.
But wait...It's not happening...blank white page, blank white page, 502, oh yes blank white page.
headdesks So what happened to the site working better??
