gifting, covid-19, and a hui hou kakou
social distancing, shelter in place, hunkering down, etc. ... whatever you call it, that’s what da missus and i are choosing to do (like most responsible people here also do). [alas, the visitors (tourists) keep coming ... after all, it is what our state is known for ... at a critical time when people really should not be traveling, large distances or small, unless it is necessary. (and not being able to get a refund, so they might as well come, does not count as necessary.) so far, no homegrown cases here, just what visitors have brought with them.]
anyway, we won’t be venturing out very often, and won’t be collecting that many giftboxes to send out, because we really are not going out of our way to visit fortresses, inns, or greenhouses even when we do make necessary trips out ... so apologies to the good folk on our respective lists of friends, for your not getting much (if at all) in giftboxes from us lately and going forward for the foreseeable future.
truth is, HPWU had plenty of chances to get its act together to make this game indispensable in our daily routine ... but the powers that be have blown it time and again.
we won’t quit the game entirely but it will take up way less time in our daily routines while we continue to hunker down and maybe even when we no longer have to.
as for this forum, parts of it are not that healthy a place either, so this forum too will take up way less time in my daily routine. most folks won’t care, one way or the other. some might rejoice (and if so, then i’m saluting you in a singularly digital way). and if there are others perhaps who might be sad, well, it’s not necessarily goodbye ... just, “a hui hou kakou” (until we meet again), so to speak.

Stay safe @kiheikid, we will manage without you, take your time please
Salute noted and I will raise you by one
As far as I know the only ‘homegrown’ cases come from China.
I’m presuming you don’t live in China so not surprised that any cases in your area have been brought by visitors. It’s the same the world over.
I am incredulous at your attack of HPWU. It is a free game! They owe you nothing. They are doing all they can to help people continue to play whilst stuck at home. And IMHO are doing a good job. We can all criticise and think we could do a better job, but what about applauding the measures put in so far?
and I’m disgusted by your eloquently described yet vulgar insult of a salute. Childish at best and not necessary.
@Kiheihol i hope you and your wife stay healthy and safe during this pandemic. My daughter is being tested for Covid and is very sick. We should have the results back tomorrow or maybe even Saturday.
As for what you said about HPWU I have to strongly disagree with you. In under a week they have put in places some pretty drastic changes to allow people to be able to play from home. It may not be ideal and fully immersive but they did it pretty quickly so I applaud them.
As for you flipping off certain members of the forum...wow. Talk about being a GOOD human being and setting an example for all members of the forum, let alone being a good human being in a time of global panic. Shouldn’t we be coming together in solidarity to HELP each other in this awful time effecting millions of people not juvenile attacks as an au revoir? My advice would be to not come back to this forum again unless you are able to come here with positivity and not attacking certain members.
Oh yes!!!!!! The forum just became a MUCH healthier place to be now!!
Salute noted & a woohoo from me!
Does a happy dance- we can all come back now!!! Yay!
Oops- got a bit over excited & pressed post comment twice hence an empty post lol!
