Kat: Since I already track collections on a spreadsheet, I figured it might be easier if I just send you a list of what I have instead of you sending me one here. It's in Excel format and I'll send it to you in email. Your inventory is just crazy...I don't know how you've made it this far without declining TYs. OMG. It would have killed me. 😝

Witchy & Kat: Take it from someone who knows only too well, it's very hard to avoid TYs. Awhile back, Dean/KoalaGuy discovered that if one taps the Accept button on each non-TY gift without tapping the Thank button after and then closes out the Friends screen, gifts will go into inventory without sending a TY...basically it makes it a little quicker to plough through non-TY gifts. But there is a catch...the game sometimes crashes if you do too much of this at once and then all the ones you tapped simply disappear instead of going into inventory. I use this method on a regular basis but I only do it with CE gifts and not CI gifts. I don't accept all CI gifts but those I do accept, I always send a TY for, even for those I know don't want them...I just wouldn't consider it polite unless I did so, especially when the CIs are ones that require a lot of scrolling. There are some players who have in their game name something to indicate they always send TYs...I don't know whether it's because they consider it impolite not to send them or they just can't (or won't) alter their gifting routines. I have found that even though all my friends know I don't like TYs, it's much nicer of me if I don't ask them anymore to not send them. Plus it doesn't really stop the TYs anyway...out of the roughly 700-800 or so CE/CI gifts I send each week to my roughly 46-48 friends, I still get back about half that (or so) in TYs. There have been times when, in a single session of clearing my gift box, I'll have 50-100+ TYs to decline (sometimes it's way more than that...I've done it while playing Alice's Restaurant and the song finishes before I do! 😲). But it is still easier for me and on me to decline them than to try and stop the TYs. Long story short, it's nice and certainly greatly appreciated when some of one's friends make the effort to avoid sending one TYs but, depending on how many gifts one sends regularly and how many recipients one has for them, the effort may have only a fairly small impact, small enough so that it's just not worth making one's friends unduly concerned over accidentally sending a few TYs.

But if MyTona were to add a feature making it easier and quicker for us to get rid of our unwanted TYs, well now that would be helpful! 😊😊😊
