Giftable Tim's?

sharkout • 21 June 2013 at 1:40 PM

I had an idea that would make it so that you could book Tim's Food Shoppe for other accounts besides yourself, as a sort of gift. When you clicked on Tim's, it would automatically be ready for the account you are playing on, like it does now. However, there would also be a "search user" box where you could type in their username and you could book Tim's for them. It would cost the same as if you were booking him for yourself. I thought this was a good idea, even though it wouldn't change much about egg cave. If someone has already come up with this, please let me know! 😃

@sharkout Isupport this a 100%. I can't support anymore, because that would be mathimatically incorrect. ^^~

@sharkout great idea! especially if you have a friend or something on vacation 😊

@fjhfjh @semo2005 @iceyfira thx so much for the support guys! 😃

@fjhfjh yeah, it would be easier than feeding their whole cove everyday that they were gone! 😊

@sharkout

What a great Idea! This could also help with side accounts too!

@sharkout
There are many members of EggCave who do not want some creatures fed in their side accounts as they have to die, and as well as this those junk eggs dont die if this features were implemented. A prebooking for Tims would be necessary, or booking in advance for holidays. If you ever want to donate EC to a friend, you could do so.
It would be mathematically incorrect as well as systematically. Check the site Overall Suggestions by Zac, that gives many useful and non-harmful suggestions, or you could suggest it there.
More than that, there are many people who stalk dying names owned by greedy owners who want a lot for them/keep them. That way almost all names would be unobtainable. Moreover, people might bug others as well as it increases the chance of people using their friends [those fake friends] for various things for granted.

@frosted
Maybe you could have the option of making your cove un-Tim's-able? Or just one of your creatures?

snowbunny • 21 June 2013 at 10:13 PM

@sharkout it would be great cuz u can also feed your side account then! 😃

@sharkout This would be a great idea if EC implemented 'items' . It will have flaws if you could just book anyone's eggs, but what about a giftable Tim's "card" that one user could gift to the other. And the other user can choose to activate it whenever they want. For those greedy inactive users, well, they can't use the card if they're not active, so the pets with great names will keep dying. Might actually go in the 'Item's Storage' we have.

@frosted Could it be possibly implemented with the above description?

@trish
Yep. The creatures dont get booked by one persons' wish and the card can be scheduled to be used at specific times. The receivers choice is to accept or decline as well

@sharkout i like this idea. But people have good counter arguements too. It could be cood for your sides but not really much else.

sharkout • 22 June 2013 at 11:17 AM

@frosted I see what you mean, but it makes no difference. If they don't want a creature to be fed, there's still nothing stopping you from just normally feeding it. So how is feeding it using Tim's any different? Also, what do you mean, its wrong mathematically?

@cqpkytty Good idea! But they should make it so that you can select that your creature is not feedable by anyone else but you, and that would count for Tim's 😊

@trish That's a great idea! But it wouldn't be an item you buy with CC. What if when you were buying it you typed in the number of creatures it could feed for the number of days, and then it would cost the same in EC as if you were booking Tim's!

@morgana @snowbunny thanks for the support!

@featherstar_stormclan well, you could use it to feed a friends cove.

trish • 22 June 2013 at 11:30 AM

@sharkout Well yes it would be bought in EC at Tim's Shop. 😊

@sharkout I honestly kind of like this idea, but shouldn't there be some type of approval before allowing someone to book your creatures for Tim's? This great and safer for those who take the risk to allow people to hold their creatures while they're away, when they simply can't afford putting them in Tim's, why not allow a friend or stranger do it if they're willing to? But a lot of safety should go along with this, if implemented.
