Special Item That Only Beta Testers Get
From Glitch Strategy
 | |
| Description | Best selling toy in a year that the historians have glossed over, sales plummeted when it was discovered that many of the advertised functions of Señor Funpickle could cause injury, death, or severe unpopularity. Hastily rebranded, the remaining stock were quietly farmed out as commemorative free gifts at a time known as "The Great Reset". |

The Special Item That Only Beta Testers Get is a rare item given to testers before the final reset, on September 14th, 2011. Using the Special Item will cause the player to get a "Too Much Fun" buff, preventing the player from using it again for five minutes.

Crown Prince
Dear [recipient],
I am crown prince of Shimla Mirch who has run up against the serious problem of finances.
While my family possesses many wealths, all of these are tied up in the peat trade, which has been experiencing the turbulences. Unfortunately, without immediate access to liquid assets in the form of 50,000 (fifty thousand) currants, we are unable to secure our asset against decline in peat and face insolvency.
I hope to enter into the business arrangement with you, the pillar of communities, against this event. If you can make the arrangement to mail 50,000 (fifty thousand) currants to me directly, I will be enabled to access my vast fortunes and you will be well rewards by the sum of 100,000,000 (one-hundred million) currants in return.
I hope most sincerely that you will consider this offer to help me, my family and my region.
Yours truly, Crown Prince [sender] of Shimla Mirch
