Awesome!
*feints at the thought of someone giving away a Plushie Paint Brush*
I've been playing for over 3 years now, and its still amazing to me how many nice players there are out there.
Best thing I was ever given was a Faerie Paint Brush, and that's back when they were only acquired from random events.
I give away things from time to time, but I don't play as much as I'd like and can't get rare items from shops, so I tend to give away things like food, books, gardening items, and furniture. Usually, its stuff that's common in shops, but I figure that if it makes the person I give it to happy, it doesn't matter.
Last time I gave away anything expensive (ie, the last time I could afford to), it was a Halloween Paint Brush, and the person I gave it to painted an Ixi with it.
But I stay away from the chat boards, because I had a bad experience there once (Got frozen because a word I used got flagged, and no one checked to see what context it was used in (I was trying to warn people that the Auctions were bugged), and the Neomonitor I managed to get to talk to me (logged in an alternate account) ended up getting reported by me for having an attitude after she unfroze my account (she called me a liar and wouldn't listen when I tried to explain what happened).
I only use the chatboard to do trades, and don't get social anymore because of it.
