User blog comment:BIGBAER/Like & Light Reciprocity Here!/@comment-24719798-20140407042435

Quote from my original post: "I would love to light your Wishing Torches as well as visit each of your unlocked islands to vote "thumbs up." All I ask in return is that you do the same for me."

My offer to "Like & Light" islands & wishing torches for fellow players and fans of My Singing Monsters still stands and as stated I promise to visit ALL of your islands and vote each a "thumbs up!" as well as light whatever wishing torch is available---in return for the same courtesy repaid in kind for me. In other words reciprocity or a reciprocal arrangement.

The response to my offer has been great! I now have over two pages of new friends whose islands I visit daily voting thumbs up for each opened island and lighting the single daily wishing torch the game allows for each friend.

There is but a single small issue I want to note: unfortunately some number of my new friends have either found the concept of reciprocity confusing or they simply can not find the time to "Like & Light" my islands in return. Too bad really, that some few would take advantage of the situation. I will continue to "Like" everyone's islands and "Light" an available "Wishing Torch" for each friend as I will not dishonor my agreement with my friends who have been faithful to the reciprocity arrangement.

Acting with honor even in small, trivial things reflects back upon a person and can determine how others view them and the levels of trust others are willing to grant. A person's reputation begins to form early in life and can be one of the most difficult  qualities to amend. It is a true reality check when we find ourselves face to face with a reputation that finds us less than trustworthy. It may seem trivial now but I do not wish on anyone the cold hard truth that awaits some people later.

That is all for now... I am off to visit my friend's islands. I really love what some of you have done with the design elements of the game! You guys have created some absolutely beautiful islands that will no doubt inspire all who visit them. I will go into detail on some of these cool, very creative islands.

Take care guys and ladies! Have fun!
