It’s lean, it’s mean, it’s green, and it’s … askew!
The most beloved plant to never hit the middle of a floor tile has returned to our hotel as of this morning and Aloe Vera fever has hotel economists in a frenzy.
On sale through Friday, this classic will run you an easy fifty credits per plant and is ready for stacking, trading, and watering immediately following purchase. With enough time, this favourite will grow on just about anyone!

Check below the cut for a full list of winners … and if you didn’t bounce to the lamp of your dreams this time, then it’s time to get trading —

The voting public are a lot of things, but they’re certainly not yes men! For the second poll in a row, the “no” side has won out over its affirmative opponent and blocked the release of the user title feature.
You can read the full voting breakdown on the Origins mainsite. Didn’t make it out to the Infobus? Stay tuned for details on the next poll and make sure to exercise your democratic right the next time around ¶

N-no, I’m fine … just feeling a little grey … I’ll be … I’ll be okay. Oh, this? It’s … it’s a Funky Friday post … not that it matters or anything. Y-yeah, for the new Cola Machine … I guess …
W-what’s that? Oh yeah … it’s 50 credits … available for one day only … or whatever …

Who’s ready to fall asleep outside and get real, real sunburnt? This week’s rare brings the perfect spot to do just that as you watch summertime slip away: the very classic and much-beloved Hammock.
Kicking back on one of those bad boys will run you a cool fifty credits, but don’t delay – naptime will only last for the next seventy-two hours! Rest up and we’ll see you later this week for an all new Funky Friday ¶

Bouncers, step away from your balls! ¬
The first Battleball tournament has come to a close, and along with a prizeload of metal dragon lamps incoming to the top forty players, the team are discussing a few lessons they’ll carry forward for next time.
Aside from randomizing elements of the game to make it more unpredictable, staff seem keen to reduce the time commitment necessary to remain competitive the next time users deck it out on the Battleball field.
Mind stuck on the prizes? Though the competition is off, last minute tallies are still in progress, so hang tight and check back soon for the finalized list of winners!

If your democratic muscle was beginning to atrophy, here’s a chance to flex it out: the Infobus is hosting a new poll exploring the viability of user titles!
Beyond the initial stamp of approval to introduce titles as a concept, poll questions also explore special title text colours, titles purchasable in the webshop, and titles as prizes. You’ll want to explore full details in the article linked above before voting.
The poll is live across all Origins hotels through next Saturday – we’ll see you in September with the results!

Of all the lamps that shouldn’t be sat on, none are quite as tempting as these! This Friday, shoppers have their first (and only) shot at a special range of Battleball-themed Bouncer Lights in red, blue, green, and yellow.
At ten credits a pop, a full four-colour set tallies in at less than a regular weekly rare, so the value is there! You have until Saturday morning to grab ahold of your Batteball battle-haul ¥

Whoever thought that you could trap … uhh … bees … or uhh … fireflies … in a lamp? Because seriously, how did they do that? Were they born in there?
All this is to say that the Yellow Amber Lamp has made its catalogue entrance at 75 credits, and with only three days to pick one up, you’d better get a move on!
Like … are they even real bugs? Do they die one day?
