Strange, pyramidical object in Dokk Rokk

In Dokk Rokk, underground, all the way to the left - there is a small brown pyramid. There's nothing else like it in Glitch (at least not that I know of).  What is it?  Just curious!

  • It's also in Winter Walk: http://www.glitch.com/snaps/PUVI6D1AK9F2AHN/157277-f0607ad260/
    The same decoration asset but scaled at different size. It looks like the remnants of a winter camping expedition.

  • It's a tepee, there is one in Winter Walk too...

  • Oh, good, someone finally brought up that thing that's been bugging me!

    I get the feeling it's *supposed* to be a teepee, but, like, if that's the case, then whoever drew it clearly has no understanding of what makes a teepee actually work as a) a structure and b) a shelter.

    That thing would be drafty and leaky as hell, assuming it doesn't fall over and/or tear open after about a minute, and assuming a glitch could even fit inside it in the first place.

    I know I sound a bit ornery here, but, darn it, it just doesn't meet the standard of what I've come to expect from Tiny Speck.

    Now, all that said, I'm kinda hoping it's where the (apparently tiny) yeti lives.

  • The one in Dokk Rokk could be a Tycho Magnetic Anomaly. Watch out for bones turning into satellites.

  • It looks similar to the "thar be a bug here" warning cones TS occasionally places in particularly buggy areas. Or areas To Be Further Developed Soon(TM).

  • I am going to stick with the yeti hut theory - makes me happiest.

  • The yetis must be very small! It looks more the size for a dreamy porkthropologist to me...

  • It's so brave explorers can venture out into the cold in hopes of discovery!

  • I'm not sure what its suppose to be but personally I'm offended by it. Its obviously something disgusting and inappropriate and its ruining the glitch i have come to know and love. 

    also, it keeps coming to my street and stealing all my herbs and not hoeing. also pretty sure it is the reason all the old housing is gone. and and and, i'm pretty sure it had the idea for Asslandia. 

    *deep sigh*

  • Haha, deep sigh here too.

    It is something familiar to me but I can't place it.  I'm almost there...it just won't pop into my brain.  I'm stuck somewhere between a little plastic board game piece and one of those plastic things you tie on the end of the fishing line to train toddlers how to cast.  If it comes to me, I'll write back.

  • Teepee camp.  As the bog areas have the camp fires.

  • It's probably just meant to be neolithic, rather than a teepee.

  • To me, it looks like exactly the same kind of tent that's used in road construction work, but brown rather than orange.  A brown safety tent.  Clearly, the's an uncovered glitchhole under it.  It's probably full of bureaucrocs.

  • It's a camping tent, a la Wintry Place.

  • I've just been calling it "the tent". I am liking the idea of it being a tiny yeti house...

  • It's actually a little "Who" village. Who knew? Ur shares boundaries with another imaginary world! And, by the looks of it, probably a casino rocking establisment! Go them!

  • It reminds me of the heartwarming Igloo in Animal Crossing, with the chowder, chatting, and prizes - like a much, much friendlier and cuter Rube. 

    ETA: +10000 to Papa Legba

  • @ Loupin, LOL!

  • You're probably wondering why this strange, pyramid-shaped object exists, and other science facts.  You should say to yourself, "It's just a game, I should really just relax."

  • If I recall correctly,if you use info mode near it, it says it's a tent.
    Too bad we can't get in it....

    I fall asleep to old recordings of that show every night.  Love those guys and of course Gypsy and Pearl.
