Hi Nick, following on from last week when I suggested turning in quests from the commons without returning there, you asked for my motivation for suggesting this.

I do complete all quests before returning to the commons or any of the hubs, my game doesn't crash when I have visited many different areas but, it does slow down considerably which forces the need for a refresh. There are many area changes needed on a daily basis - the commons, a chosen hub, Natalie's house, Ellesandra's lab, your ranch, some of these require travelling to more than once so, it would be great to alleviate a little bit of that...if you wanted to.

How about the introduction of a Bpad/Bphone? that had apps such as "What's up" and "Instagive", you could then create a group chat with the npcs to ask questions and turnover quests. It could be limited to 1 call a day, be a pay as you go or you could purchase a contract.

Another reason I ask for this is, it would be great for Bushwhackers to unite and support COP26 by reducing our carbon footprint ie- less travel.

You could introduce a recycling center to the commons. There are a few groups of trees that could be removed to make way for this, one being by the lumber mill, where Jim could accommodate the fallen trees. You may say felling trees is a bit counter productive but there could be a quest to plant more.

The npc that runs it could be called Alouette Bruntherg. She is on a quest to help reduce climate change and asks for our help. There could be random daily quests that consist of -

Plant 20 trees
Fish up 10 junk
Whack up 20 pieces of litter - paper,plastic bottles etc
Gather fallen leaves (for compost) Farmer McDonald could help with this.
Plant x amount crops (for a meat free day)

We could finally recycle those energy drinks, weigh in the items of junk we fish up and the pieces of litter we find.

A newly discovered beetle was named after Greta Thunberg, the same could be done for Alouette. Aloutte means lark, so it could be a new species of bird...a new pet for us to raise.

New achievements could be added -

Plant x amount of trees
Find x amount litter
Recycle x amount litter
Make x amount of compost

Building the recycling center could be a community quest (like the casino) find bricks,timber and glass etc.

Elsastar96 - I like the idea. There is also room by the blacksmith and detective.

I like the idea of a new commons quest line. Not thrilled with tying it to politics.

just a remark.. i see an issue with Misty's trophies lists.. for example, the list of ppl that have the maximum years old of ancient pottery. 9 players that reached 9,223.......years.. it takes 2 lines to write it. so 18/20 lines are taken for old info that will stay there forever. more players that will reach the max number in the future will never show up on the list. no place for them.. why would they bother to reach max. not fair

Re Didi's concern I had a couple of ideas - When you reach max you go onto a separate list for those at max that you could see if you hover over something like "Max players" at beginning of list (Only takes 1 line). Or could we just use MAX instead of the entire #?

I would love to have a side portal. A window off to the side, similar to a zoom meeting. Instead of finding a new pet egg to bring to Misty and having to stop what you are doing, and travel all the way to the commons, wait for it to load..( Hey, my computer sucks, what?) then, navigate all the way up to Misty, to check on if your egg is what you are looking for... Click on quick "zoom w/Misty", her face pops up in a main window, with your pic in the corner. And you just ask her, " Hey, what is in this egg" .. then you decide if it's worth going back to hatch it or not.. this could be done with any quest. because nothing clogs up your computer like a bunch of unnecessary travel?!?!?!

As a follow-up to Elsastar96's question (immediately above mine), I had forgotten all about the Sanctuary (and the weekly "Gift of Love") until recently, but I have been receiving Burl's "Gift of Love" on Mondays (easiest day for me to remember to do it) for about 2 months now. I vaguely remember that (when I actually was using the Sanctuary as my daily quest hub) there was a choice between Burl and another character (a woman) - and I'm not quite sure how I "chose" (or ended up with) Burl. Is there any way to switch to her, at this point?

Re: Gift of Love
I use the TW watch for turn ins, so my Gift of Love cool down is shorter than 7 days. A reminder would be great, but in the meantime, I sync the gift of love with the weekly Mayoral Stipend, which I get a reminder for, and do both at the same time.
