Welcome to our wonderful world of Windlyn!

hotcakes are another word for pancakes

You have so many of my favorites listed! What's your favorite tea?

Some tips:
Fishing in the fishing pond gives you items not bought in the shops (like the meteor background on my avi). You can fish every 8 hours.
Questing is every 12 hours. (I offer items from it in my newbie thread if you don't have the items yet).
You don't get feathers if you double post.
Games give you feathers for 3 scores each game every day.
Lazarus shop items are only temporary so purchase those first. Member yard sales have past items for sale.

Everyone is friendly so don't be afraid to post in a thread!

Heeey welcome!

Hmm you like green, and you like tea. I deduce: You like green tea.

[mercu]

correct! XD
i also enjoy other kinds of tea though.

[mercu]

Gingerale thank you for all the information!

i tried doing a quest and apparently i need two starbows, pink and purple.
i got one earlier from fishing (back when i didn't even know what i was doing, haha) so i assume i will now have to wait until i get lucky and get those two colors from there? o: or would there be another way of obtaining those?

[Akuyi]

Oh, that's a lucky quest, star bows are pretty common. Which one are you missing?

[mercu]

pink and purple ones o:

[Akuyi]

Oh, I thought you got one of them, but I take it you got a different color then.

Let me help you out with your first quest!

[mercu]

yup, the one i'm wearing rn is the one i got c:
thank you so much!

[Akuyi]

What did you get? A T-shirt? XD

Welcome to Windlyn!

Happy to meet you!

One of Kitalpha's friends was taking a class in China about tea. She was the tea expert for sure. I knew tea had a long history, but it was through her that I learned that tea is so more complex than just leaves that grew on a plant.

I think green tea is my favorite too.

You seem to be finding your way around well, so like Gingerale said, feel free to jump into any thread and make yourself at home!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Welcome fellow green lover! I love green! Green is my favorite color! There are so many shades of green!!

Eventually you will have A LOT of bows and such from the fishing pond....but I bet you could ask anyone for an extra and they'd be more then happy to give you a few!

There are so many tea's...I prefer something mellow not the black tea's so much. Lady Grey is a nice smooth one.

Are you finding your way around the site ok? Don't forget to visit my game threads for a chance at extra feathers or my rare item thread and of course the Chraity thread in my siganture!

[mercu]

Akuyi yep, exactly that xD

galled thanks glad to meet you too!

i don't actually know much more than an average person about tea history, i think 0:
i just really enjoy drinking it xD
but it sounds interesting c: can you share any highlights?

i think i'll try to do that thanks once again

@Lemon Cheesecake hey

i didn't even have to ask, akuyi was already kind enough to help out ;u;

i'm doing okay so far c:
do you know if the community is very active? o:
it seems only the hangout threads get a lot of traffic :C

[Gingerale]

We're more slow and steady but if you post people will generally answer when they are on.

You can also Ping or if you want to discuss things more personal then PM someone.

The regular's are in different time zones, Akuyi is in Germany, NerdyAliCat is Australia, a bunch are from the East coast of the US and Canada, mdom is in South America, we have Hong Kong, Philippines, UK etc.

Hangouts is more the place to chat and it gives 10 feathers each post so that is probably why, but I never noticed it before.
And then sometimes people don't want to interact and are more "lurkers" just getting the feathers from playing the games.

I'll be off to work soon, I was just checking on before I left.

[mercu]

oh that's a shame :C
i've been looking for a more active community that's not gaia for a while now, without much success xD

kay, have a good day at work c:
