Alright...here I go. 1.) It is called VIRTUALpups for a reason people. I've gotten to the point where people get so worked up about stuff on the site that I don't even talk or acknowledge them. Come on, I mean seriously?! I hate to break it to you but they aren't real dogs. It isn't possible for someone to "abuse" or "neglect" one of the dogs on here, simply because they don't exist. Some people have just taken it a little too far these days. 2.) People have lives outside of VP. I don't think everyone notices that people are not on VP 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Things come up, people are busy, and life gets in the way. When people get mad when someone hasn't responded to a message, or finished a layout or whatever, they need to take into account that things come up in real life that can't always be controlled. 3.) It's VIRUAL CASH. The people who make graphics on here are taking time out of their life to sit down and make something for you. And they don't even get paid in real cash. Don't throw a fit if you don't want to pay so much, or if you feel like they didn't try to work hard enough on your layout. They don't get paid in real cash Now upgrades and dyes and stuff is a different story, they are paying with real cash but getting VPC in return. But if it's something like graphics or dogs, don't throw a fit. Because it's VIRTUAL CASH. *deep breaths*

Well said, and I have to agree. If I had to choose between work and VP well guess what comes first. I know that people come and go for long periods of time as well, I was one. Between wedding plans, finishing school, moving, work and my REAL LIFE dog I don't have tons of time to spend on here. It is just a GAME and not real life and you are completely right about commissions. These people are taking their time out of their life to do something wonderful for free, as VP cash can't be used at a store. (Although it would be nice if you could!) I tend to just ignore these kinds of people...

I'm glad you agree. It just irks me and it's starting to become a pet-peeve. I do the same and just ignore them, and if they are rude to me more than once and want to order a graphic from me or whatever I simply tell them no.

Well said *claps*. Before I came here I played VHR and this very exact thing happened to me, and it got me upset. *Sigh*

Rock_N_Roll_Queen90 · June 2011

Woo! Coaster...this is the best post ever!

Garnet · June 2011

I completely agree! I hate when people message me being rude when i take maybe three or four days to get their banner or drawing to them! I ignore them but I mean geez! My grandmother has been in the hospital and ive been having to take my car to get worked on so i havent been on. I've been trying to train ONE dog for like 2 weeks now cause of all he REAL LIFE stuff going on and it irks me when people get mad at me about it. So im just like "Fine have someone else do it then" and send their dog back. I have a spot on my layout that even states that i do NOT do refunds if you are rude or rush me more than twice.

Yeah that's why I didn't like VHR as well as VP. It seemed like i was so rushed sometimes.

Same here! I have a crazy work schedule and school always comes first along with family but people seem to forget that sometimes.

Mhm!! People need to realize that this is a game just as you guys all stated lol

I hope you understand that if someone reports you for not doing the contracted work and not returning their money, you will have to refund them. You are fully within your rights to refuse to do the work, but if you do so, you have to give them their money back.

Garnet · June 2011

im talking like after its all done and stuff. not if i dont do the work

Garnet · June 2011

like if they message me being rude cause i didn't do something exactly how they want it then i wont refund it but i will change it up to make it how they want.

Alabama · June 2011

If you complete the work within their description, you're fine. I misunderstood. I thought you were saying if they bugged you before you were done.

Garnet · June 2011

oh no! lol I should have worded it better! Completely my fault Bama

AllInTheName · June 2011

I completely agree with this. Very well put!

I especially agree with point #1 I hate when I frequently get messages asking for donations to a rescue kennel. Its always the same story "I am saving dogs from their abusive VP owners, and I am kepping them alive. I am rescuing them from retirement or release. If you could just donate some cash to keep my program going, I'd be mighty appreciative. God Bless!" I mean really, I donate plenty of real cash top real life dog rescue facilities. I rescued my dog from the pound. The dogs in this game are not real! If you are done with them just neuter and release/retire them. Asking people to donate to help save virtual dogs just sounds to me like you want some free cash. Certain breeds are already full enough as it is in this game. Any dogs released are a plus! This game is a strategy game with the point of making the most money, collecting cool things, accomplishing lines. Anything to make it fun. Not play pretend rescue society. Have fun with the game however you would like, but please dont beg me for my hard earned VPC just so you can save some "Virtual" dog. Esspecially considering I support all virtual release and retire programs. I am rambling now, sorry. Have a great day!

I Love this whole rant. And I agree with you on all the points.

Haha, I've have gotten tons of PM's like that. But it seems they only go after kennels that have the cash, for example sponsors. Now that my Sponsor has run out, they don't PM me anymore. I even had a person say can you donate some money because I'm a rescuer. And I didn't even respond to them. But they made a contract for 5mil for me to accept. (they meant to put -5mil.) And then there are some players who try to scam you, so they can get refunds from a service you did.

I've had the same thing happen to me. It does seem like some people go for the kennels with a lot of cash and it gets especially annoying when you split up your VPC within your novice kennels of you are a sponsor because then you get the same messages from the same person. And they don't seem to get the concept of the fact that it is virtual cash, and that people are not as stupid as they think. And then there are some players who try to scam you, so they can get refunds from a service you did.

I mean yeah theres those people who just are snotty and bossy when they want somthing. But if i may ask...how long have you (cannon) not been playing VHR? I think its been getting better and better. But that could also just be my opinion.
