I have been in the Shops game for years both with gifting shops and competing shops and I think the ideal thing to do would be to split the 2 into two different categories, each with their own separate bidding process and shops section.
The gifting shops could have less stock, let’s say 20-25. But would allow the user to simply send the gifts to the users of their choice. Without any worries of their friends not getting the gifts they want to give them. A lot of people save for a very long time to Gift their friends and allowing users to be able to do this would be very beneficial.
Then in the competing section users would have a bit more stock (35) and could post in the ranges of 100t to 800t where they can post publicly or compete if they wanted to with the top 3 shops moving on.
Separating the 2 in this way would allow everyone to do with their shops as they wanted. And the desire for gifting shops would increase dramatically because you wouldn’t have to worry about finding gifters and all these other things that take the fun out of the process.
This is the second agreement you are supposed to live your life by for a more peaceful existence. It is especially hard for me today to try my best to keep this in mind. I was passed by on a promotion that in my head was so clearly mine. I been working with the company the longest and in my eyes I also work the hardest.
But even though they chose to promote someone who has been here half the time as me I still have to try to not take it personally. It isn’t about me. In the owners’ reality she is better fit. Maybe I don’t brag about all the things I do as often or call them up every time i accomplish something just to let them know. But that’s on me. Their decision doesn’t mean that I am not actually better for the position :/
The multis got me but I appreciate every single one of you. There were a lot of people voting me to win whom I don’t even have the best relationship with. It was nice to see the Tengaged community try to come together against a common issue of multis in Stars. But we fell just slightly short.
Will for sure be supporting anyone in Stars that is against a multi user, regardless of the relationship we have. Sucks to lose, but it was a great game and maybe one day in the future I can make finals again!
