Summary
- Ben is not sure about the weather.
- If there were ever Psypets contraceptives (Ben thinks it's weird for the level of detail), it would most likely be an item exchange as opposed to straight m.
- Giving the Easter Bunny chocolate has a trick, but Ben is not going to tell us.
- Ben does not remember if Heavy Anchors (made with Dark Matter, Iron, and Fluff) can be made with Anchors and Dark Matter.
- It is possible to have Charlie the Unicorn III references. Ben likes references.

simpleyetcomplex: Some ideas for the weather: defeaters still defeat, gatherers have higher chances to succeed because of rain washing away obstructions, crafters craft more (rain is depressing), inventors do not invent as much, hunting is normal.
I am not 100% sure about the weather.
From question: During tornadoes, pets hide and comfort each other.
It is a trick of making weather not make things obnoxious for people playing, but provide some interesting bonus.
Lacrosse: Ben, there are item logs in the groups, right? Could there be town logs so people could know who put (and where). That would be cool if group organizers would like some to give out group badges.
Rather than having a weird, I could have it where if you hover over a tile, it pops up the person responsible for placing that tile, or whatever tiles are there. But I guess you would also want to know what time. It seems to me that if I wanted to make a whole, detailed log, what would happen is that you should be able to rewind and look at the map at any point in the past. That would also be interesting. If the log information is there, we could do that. For the purposes of group organizers knowing so they could award people for their efforts, that's cool. I'll take note of that. I don't know how exactly to implement that, but it's not a bad idea.
Canjana: Regarding pregnancy, I would like to keep some of my pets from becoming pregnant or becoming a father, without neutering them. Would it be possible to have some kind of pill or shot that would reduce the chance of pets becoming pregnant. Psypets birth control! It could be given out at the Pet Shelter for a certain amount of m. PS. I like the idea of pets keeping a friend list and having fathers from that list.
It seems weird to go into such detail about contraceptives and all that. The level of detail people want is kind of interesting. I guess it makes sense. It's been tossed around ever since pet pregnancy has been implemented. I don't know what form they would take. I think it would be interesting if it were an invention pets could make, like Skate, to better tie it to pet activities. Or at least an item exchange. I try to keep away from exchanges with pure m.
iBeta: *enjoys Easter* And since the bunny only asks for chocolate, even newbies can do okay.
The Shadow Knight: Is there a trick to the Easter Bunny fish thing? I tried a German Chocolate Cake and he just gave me another Plastic Egg.
There is a trick, but I'm not going to tell you.
Lenneth: The thing I was wondering about Heavy Anchor (possibly an old item) uses Dark Matter, Iron, and Fluff, right? But now there is the Anchor item. Can we get the Heavy Anchor if we have the Dark Matter and Anchor in the room?
Both were implemented around the same time (check on the encyclopedia item numbers). I do not remember if one is an upgrade of the other; it makes sense but Dark Matter is treated as an entity of its own so if something is going to be made of Dark Matter, it will be made with that instead of Iron. I don't remember if the heavy anchor uses those things you say. I've implemented 1500+ items so I don't think of them again.
The Shadow Knight: Psypets needs Charlie the Unicorn III references, like a funny starfish that gives love or funny text with the Dungeon door.
Right, because it's the door. I suppose. I already have the magical leopluradon, do I really need to do more? I like throwing in references when I can think of them. For some reason, I wasn't thinking of Psypets when I watched it that one particular time.
Is that all the mail? Okay. I don't have much to say about Easter. The server is going slow; I know about that. I did optimize the code for giving the bunny chocolate, but there are more people playing every page than ever. It seems to be playing fine; occassionally it goes slow. I don't know if that will be the case anything; I know I've talked about moving to a different server. But I might be moving again, so...
