Alright. So what really irks me is people thinking they have superiority over the general community just because they made an account 5 years ago. Whoop dee doo. Would you like a cookie? I make chocolate chip and oatmeal/outmeal chocolate chip, sugar cookies, anything you like. Cuz we should all bow down to you and assume you're the master of all.<br><br>Be proud of it if you actually <span style="font-weight:bold">Played</span> for the 5 years that you claim. Playing is the act of taking time and effort into working with this game. Not making an account and taking multiple-month long "breaks" or even years. There's a difference between creating an account, and actually staying dedicated to the game. What kind of representative leaves because they get bored or sick of it, then comes back every now and then? The hypocritical kind. I'm ranting about that because people use it as an excuse or some reason to brag when they don't hardly ever even play.<br><br>Take this example for instance: "Hi, I am a novice and I know you decided to do this on good intentions, but I was somewhat offended by your offering of free dogs to novices. I have played this game for 7 years and have been a novice the whole time and I'm sure I know more than most the sponsors on here. " ...please help me out here if I'm not seeing the light to the logic in this. Because to me, there is none. Many sponsor's are generously offering to hand out free dogs to those in need. We've all been a novice at some point in our life, so we can all relate to how hard it can be. Finding substantial sources of income, getting quality training and breeding done for your dog(s), managing money in general, all while trying to figure out how to actually play the game and before you know it, you're already in debt. Sponsors can seem a bit daunting to novices with all that we have provided to us and seem to know. But some like to give back and help out the community. So now just because someone gives away free dogs to help novices in need, they're causing an offense?<br><br>How many people have you seen doing this good deed? I've seen quite a few. And the person who received the above message wasn't the first and won't be the last to do such a kind thing. Just because a person has had an account for "7 years", doesn't mean they've played the entire time. So many of those people have taken "breaks" for months at a time over the course of those years. Sometimes even years. So what all do you Really know if you haven't been around to see most of it? Things continously change, people leave, new people sign up. New breeds are created. New rules are made. Currency and the value of particular breeds change. But this statement right here was a bold one "and I'm sure I know more than most the sponsors on here". Oh really now? Well then your highness, excuse us. My patronage, loyalty, dedication, and effort has all been due to my odd love addiction many others share as well for this game. Been playing for over 3 years now just about every single day. That right there is worth the equivalence of what some long-term "players" claim. I get on even during the busiest of times if I get the chance. But I don't sit there using that to tell off novices or other sponsors to make myself seem better than them. Especially not in a way that doesn't even make sense.<br><br>Only very few players have stuck it out the whole way through those 5+ years. Don't act like you know everything if you haven't been around to see what all goes down. If you want respect for that, treat the person you're talking to with respect instead of using that claim as an excuse. I've seen it used for various things and it's all irrelevant to the point trying to be made since the time you've been MIA is greater than the time you've put into the game itself (discluding times to quickly log in and check on things) anyway. You know what makes a Sponsor more "special"? The fact that upgrades could be afforded. Some people have no idea what the heck they're doing when they upgrade because they haven't had much experience at all on this game. Certain novices can be a lot more mature, experienced, aware, and dedicated than them but are restrained because they don't have the resources to get themselves further in the game due to the lack of available offerings/perks that upgrading provides. Such as unlimited space for the amount of dogs you can own, kennel type benefits, imports, ect. What's more respectable, is how you treat others and the way you present yourself. I really don't care if you've only played for just over a year or if you've played 10 years. I care about how you go about treating myself and/or others because I want nothing to do with you or your accomplishments if you're rude, arrogant, and disrespectful.<br><br>But anywho. That's my rant <3 Hope y'all enjoyed taking the time to read its uslessness since things never change no matter what is said or done. But I just wanted to get that out there. Also, this is isn't a message directed at any perticular person. All the "you"s are generalized and this is speaking to the community as a whole. If someone gets defensive, it's actually not needed unless you're one of the people treating others like crap just because you might have more years to your account(s) than them. Names aren't listed or anything because I'm only describing what I've seen in the past.

  • lol...well, he or she lied. I'm a novee that helps other novees because in general I'm successful, especially for a novee. I offered a girl that said she was in debt 650,000 dollars once, because she did a lot for others, she took the money and then started talking about how she isn't a charity case and about how she's going to put me on her ignore list because I offended her. I don't know...some people are just weird :shock: And I know the real name is novice, no need to tell me :|
  • Oh wow.. I know Vampy and myself have been around since VP first came out and we both do what we can for everyone. Vampy has always been very dedicated to this game as well as I have. I haven't played the actually game in a few months due to school work and getting swamp with scholarship essay's and personal life issues. I'm not on nearly as much as I wish I could be. I have a sponser training account and I'm hoping to start using it again VERY soon. I agree with you about how rude some people can be :( It's sad.. I know I'm willing to help anyone that needs me and have made lots of friends since the game opened and seen a lot of good people leave in order to pursue their careers or to raise a family, but we continuously have new people joining and I love seeing/meeting them all! =D
  • Yeah, there are a few people who have spent the majority of their time on here =) My rant is about those who claim to have played for like 5 years or whatever but have been gone more often than they've been on and try to use the 5 year time frame to make themselves superior somehow. But that particular message I quoted just put me over the edge because it made No sense what so ever. <br><br>I personally lack the will to just let go of my dogs for free to donate to those in need. Generosity doesn't come easily to me, unfortunately. It's not that I don't care, as I already stated I understand how tough it can be at the novice level. But I prize my dogs far to much to just let them go. Not only that, but I've been wronged by others going back on agreed terms. Reselling my dogs or giving them away in trade or donation -I don't want that an make that pretty clear before any purchases are made. So if the same stuff happens with any dogs I put out there generously for Free? Wouldn't go over too well.. So major kudos to those who are considerate enough to help those in need ^_^

  • Yea, understood! That quoted statement got under my skin a little, but I've learned through the petty drama at school, that you have to push things aside sometimes and not let them bother you. Some people are going to be like that in life, sadly =(
