Feel free to contribute! 8D No personal attacks, obviously, and don't assume anything said here is to you. It's probably regarding multiple people you've never even heard of. VP's a pretty big place, after all. ;D -If you're too lazy to read my kennel page, I'm too lazy to breed your dogs. Similarly with training. My prices are clearly stated on my page. Read them. Don't ignore them and then send me a message asking for prices. -Did I ask if you have anything for sale? No? Then chances are I'm not looking. So stop sending me advertisements.

-Does that dog say For Sale? Thought not. So no, he's not for sale. -No, I will not sell my 9x4, gifty-colored PB for 5k. -No, I will not let you breed two of my PBs together so you can have a pup. -If I breed you a litter of puppies, be ready to bid on them. If I do not accept bids immediately, don't freak out and send me fifteen million messages about how I'm stealing your dogs. I don't want them. Trust me. -Hi. Yes, I have a sponsor account. Actually, I have three. This does not mean I'll sell you one. This does not mean I'll share one with you. This does not mean I'll give one to you. -Chances are, if there are three kennels where the only difference in Player/Kennel name is a single letter, they're the same person. -No, I'm not ignoring your messages. Okay, maybe I am. Just a little. Take a hint.

Oh, where's my list.. XD Well I don't really play the game anymore but every time I log in to see if I have any messagess, I always find one that says,"I heard u quit the game r u gunna giv away ur kennel." Or "r u thinking of selling ur dogs bcuz ur quitting." Or "hey cud u donate 2 my kenl bcuz i dont hav any mony anymore." or "Hi! I really like your kennel and think you're awesome and your dogs are really cool and I love you! Anyways, could you give me all your money and share your kennel with me and give me all your dogs? Thanks! I appreciate it!" Okay that last one was exaggerated but you get the idea. xD Very annoying!

Aliemac · February 2012

Well when I was new to the game I tended to get on everyone's nerves(and probably still do sometimes) but here are some of mine: Training says it's closed on both parts of my kennel yet I still get messages asking if I can train... And the ones that ask me to give them/share/buy my kennel Oh oh and don't forget the ones that send me ads but yet on my kennel it says if you send me ads I will report you. Do they want to be reported?

Dark Flame · February 2012

Allie I think they do want you to report them... The training thing also bugs me, I also get it on my breeding... its just sooo grrr, annoys tiger ALOT

Horsegirl210 · February 2012

" hi do u want training" Me- No thanks. :-) Two days later " hi do u want training" No thanks. :-) Two days later " hi do u want training" And I just don't respond. xD

Nacie · February 2012

lol I am laughing so hard! I know it gets on people's nerves but when you write it all in a post and I read all of it at the same time - well it just makes me laugh cause lol it is all so true! I will say though that thankfully it does not upset me when I get these kinds of messages - but thankfully I do not get too many. :P

Minx · February 2012

I hate when i get bids of 5000 on my 10x4 international studs. Especially when i have BLOCKED bids and i still get messages "Hey is he for sale? I can pay a LOT! 5k! Dont pass it up! He's just sitting there taking feed!" And i clearly have NOT FOR SALE written in their notes AND Theyre up for stud for 10 trillion times that amount. Or when people ask me to GIVE away my female inters because i dont "use" them.

HuntersGATHERING · February 2012

I had someone send me something like "Hey, I have cancer and I don't know if I'm going to live much longer. One thing that I would love is to have a international or national eventer. I know it's a long shot, but I hope you give me that wish" I am not making that up, of course the PM was missing letters and words. I deleted the original PM but it was the exact same thing.

Para Darkwater · February 2012

I guess since I'm a novice I don't get these annoying msg. Shew what do I have to look forward to when I get my sponsor.

lovefrompaige · February 2012

One of mine is "Are Graphics open?" - It says no on my kennel pages. So, no. OR. "When is my graphic going to be done?!?!?!?!" - Soon. Please don't rush me. I had RL things to do. "You're prices were on your kennel page?!?!?! But I only have 5k... You should sell it to me anyways!" - Ummm, no? My time and energy ain't worth 5k. Sorry. OR EVEN. "Can I see what you have done so far?" - No. I'll show you when I'm done.. "But how do I know if I'll like it or not?" - If you don't like it, then I'll fix it once without charging. It's your job to describe to me in detail what you want. "PLEEEEEAAASSSSEEEE let me see it before I pay you!!" - :evil: NO!

Kazuko · February 2012

That's why I don't mention doing graphics, Bobby xD Though when people ask me to hurry, or ask me to do nineteen drawings in half a week, I get pissed. I have a husband, I have a dog, I have a house to clean, I have groceries to buy, I have a (rather slow) social life, and I have drawings that -I- want to do for -me-. I don't have time to sit and slave away for a fraction of what I -should- get paid ESPECIALLY when it's in virtual cash/prizes.

I had this exact message too!

Exactly. Reina posted something in the Praise section about a year or two ago and I've had it on my kennel page ever since. Whenever I get the rare, mean ones, I always point out my kennel page...

A few wise words from a friend. . . Not directly pointed to anyone, but... Half of the people who make graphics on this game deserve to be paid real cash, because they are taking time out of their life to make something for you, and they don't even know you. Since real cash exchanges are not allowed, you are only paying them virtual money which has absolutely no value for something that has a lot of value. Don't complain about how long it is going to take, or when they are going to be done. They don't owe a thing to you. They are offering their services and retain the right to take them back whenever they want. -reina.

Kazuko · February 2012

Exactly. I (occasionally) make real cash off my art. Your fake money does nothing for me. It doesn't feed me or my dog, so it takes the backseat to everything else that does.

wetnose101 · February 2012

Gawd. Dang. Some novice said in these exact same words: Hi, can u buy me a sponser kennel i have 40000 vpc. i was like: Ehh,NO.

Frostbight8 · February 2012

This is just in general.. Say I posted in the BarkPark that I was looking for German Shepherds.. "You're looking for GSDs? I have tons, go ahead and search my kennel, I'm selling them all, just send links!" Half hour later of sifting through 100 dogs, "Ooh. Sorry! I'm not selling those dogs.."

Cherokeezbaby · February 2012

I know what you both mean! I was on the forums and saw that someone was new so I PM'd them with some tips and they messaged me back this "my cat jesse is bester then you they help me mo then u." *they did the spell errors and everything* So I told them I was sorry for coming off rude *which I did NOT say anything that would* and they told me to leave them alone because I had NO idea what I was talking about!! I have played VP for six years and they have JUST joined! How are they going to tell me I have no clue what I am talking about?!

Dark Flame · February 2012

omg thats just really rude of that person Cherokeezbaby how dare they tell you your wrong. Some people in this world. one thing that really annoys me, is when you get people that you've seen round constantly for like 6months or something and then they go 'can you train my dog i only have like 5K or something' my training prices are 100K for skill & stat maxx, a bit off there. I mean I will help novices and rescues for training but it costs around 5K (depending on the dog) to do a skill & stat maxx

Cherokeezbaby · February 2012

Exactly. I am all for helping novices, but if I have seen them actually progressing and owning several great dogs *which it takes A LOT for me to say that about a dog* then there is absolutely no point of me training a dog for them for such a low price. However I would have no issue showing for them, but I would keep half of the winnings. I am far from unreasonable and I am easily reasoned with on certain things, but there is a big difference in reasoning and taking advantage. That is most novices issue; they see sponcers offer discounts and do not think that us sponcers have other things to do rather than sitting around giving out trainings to every sob story we get on here.

TiffaneeTerrorific · February 2012

Although I am a novice *Criess* xD I still do get these things sometimes especially Ad's which I have stated I do not want ads sent to me and for my showing...ehhh I hate it when people rush! Like are you almost done?!? Grrr!!! You know I do have a RL where I go to college, have a job, and have homework after all that!

Heartless Riku · February 2012

I actually miss getting messages like this, since I found it rather entertaining XD

Dark Flame · February 2012

I just got a bid on a dog for $100, hmmm hes not up for sale, and i didnt say he was up for bid as none of my dogs are. And it cost more than $100 to buy him myself and now he's trained.... thats always annoying.

Cherokeezbaby · February 2012

I know exactly what you mean! I have gotten many low bids on dogs that have won millions and sometimes they are not even mine, so I can not delete them which gets on my last nerve. But I do miss when people would message me just to say "hi" and be friendly.

Minx · February 2012

A bid for 10000000000000000000000 has been placed on VVT Joker Matrix copied and pasted... seriously. 10x4 international 24,000 points jack russell stud.

Exactally x.X i halfway considered trying to accept it but then logic caught up with me.

wetnose101 · February 2012

it would say that player doesnt have enough moolah xD

Cherokeezbaby · February 2012

I had someone bid like 2 mill on a dog and I got all excited, but the player did not have the money. I wish it would disallow people from bidding more than they had. That should be one of the updates.
