User:Merrimack



My in game name is Merrimacga, same as my user name here on this Wiki. To the right, I have posted my current Pogo Mini in place of my SSHM avatar.

Currently, I'm not accepting any new friends in game...50 is my limit and I'm either at or close to that number at all times. But if you really want to be connected to me, leave me a message on my wall and I'll add you as soon as I have an opening. Level 40 or above and daily, or at least regular, players only please.

As of 7/2416, I am game level 218 and reputation level 45. I play daily and those stats change fairly frequently so I'm sure that info will be outdated pretty quickly. If I don't have a lot of time, I always try to gift whole collections/collection items (CIs) and combining elements (CEs)/special paid room items first, giving the max daily. I usually gift CEs/special items per a friend's wish list (WL) or their user name, though also occasionally per requests here on the Wiki. I also time travel (TT) on weekends so I can gift more. When I have time and my strength is at full, I visit friends and charge their desktop awards and pictures. In between when my strength isn't at full, I try to periodically charge friends' spheres and pyramids. It's amazing how fast you can gain levels just by doing that. I'm a bit bad about playing puzzles and investigating pictures but do so after everything else when I have time and real life (RL) permits. If you're on my friends list, don't worry if there aren't many of these you can charge when visiting me. As a rule, you can charge anything you like on my desktop.

Check out my 10/4/15 Spreadsheet tool for gifting friends thread on the Eureka Moments board. I find it invaluable for helping me gift better. It's still a work in progress but I have posted an updated one online as of 4/7/16. Here's the link if you want to just go straight to it:

I don't know how often I'll be able to contribute here but I'll try whenever I notice something I can contribute to or think of something important to share. But please feel free to reach out to me if you have a question.

WIKI PREFERENCES (just so you know): There is very little privacy or security in this community. Anyone can see anything anyone else has posted, especially if it was recent and the user regularly scans the recent Wiki activity. Once something is posted, it can only be deleted by a site admin. A user can edit and/or remove content one posts, but that only hides the original content from being readily visible...the content can still be located and read using the History options. A Chat function is available and there is supposed to be a private chat option within it and conversations are not saved. But these functions are only usable when other users are also online and also enter Chat. And the normal Chat option is a single public conversation and any user can enter or leave at any time, though entering users will be able to see only a limited amount of conversation prior to entry. All that said, I have been known to edit (usually spelling/grammar but sometimes more) and/or remove content on my wall or my posts or threads I created in other places on this Wiki. There have been other users who do the same. When I do this, it is for clarification or because I believe it to be in the best interest of this community or for my own personal safety and security and I will try to always leave an explanation (and rarely will I remove an entire thread I created if there have been significant subsequent contributions to it). Also, it is virtually a given that anything shared in the forums is fair game but what is posted on message walls, whether mine or someone else's isn't always. If I'm in a conversation on a wall, whether my own or someone else's, and if it could be considered a private matter between myself and the others on it already, please ask if it is okay for you to join and don't do so if all you want to do is make a comment intended solely or primarily for me (better to contact me on my wall instead). If you do and if I think your post isn't appropriate, I won't hesitate to tell you so. That isn't likely to be often - this is a really great community and everyone is really open and accepting, including with what we like to affectionately call hijacking of others' threads. But we all cross lines occasionally that perhaps we shouldn't...it's bound to happen in a community of this size and diversity and personal opinion and preferences, especially considering how quickly and how often everyone posts here.
