Unsaid VP Laws (Updated Sept 11)
In every established community there are secret laws. These little pieces of information are usually only seen by the keen eyes of the older, experienced citizens that can identify and acknowledge them for their own advantage while the new players struggle to understand these little tricks of the trade, but usually and ultimately fail unless given some insight. Very rarely on extreme occasions, if not at all, these shadowed laws are placed upon paper by bold, dark ink for the new eyes of the inexperienced to see. Usually due to the lack of interest in the older players, or lack of time, or it never occurred to them during their busy daily routine. Either way, these hidden rules are seldom said since they happen so naturally in the community and it is taken as a second way of nature, like rain during the storm. So, after much thinking, I’ve decided to regurgitate some rules I noticed inside our little community on Virtualpups. It’s mostly done for humor or fun little facts for the new or old players to muse about.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law # 1:</span> If Oriyana is online, somewhere in the depths of the server, there is a kennel waiting to be snatched by Rescue kennels. This theory is backed up significantly if there is a Tarnish and Nickel online at the same time.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law # 2:</span> Almost always, it seems like nobody reads the Help forum before spamming chat for the much needed help, and most likely won’t read them until strictly redirected to the Help Forum. <br><br> <span style="font-style:italic">Vp Law # 2.5:</span> If person is not answered within five seconds, correctly on the dot, they leave chat right before a person answers their question. <br> <br> <span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #2.6:</span> Then they return to ask again and the players lose hope and pitifully look at the Ops for much needed help. The inquisitor might leave again due to the lack of responses or dislike of responses, depending on the person. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #3:</span> You’re considered extinct if you’ve been playing as long as Tara, or nearly as long. <br> <br> <span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #3.5:</span> Relatively, you’re old if you know she hates pink and you happen to be one of her thousands, adopted, crazy children.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #4:</span> Everybody knows Cappio’s kennels and the variety of dogs they have for sale or stud. Yet… nobody exactly knows who they are. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #5:</span> Everybody you know has access to a Sp. Training Kennel of some sort, but you always see them advertising “SPONSOR TRAINERS NEEDED”. Curious. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #6:</span> If you asked any competitor in the events what their wish would be, it’d be to annihilate all of Nickel’s dogs.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #7:</span> Your art post isn’t complete or worth posting without putting the word “(Insert artistic or spiffy saying) Dump” on the Artist Alley. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #8:</span> You like using the term “OAK” during auctions or selling, but never thought who created it the abbreviation. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #9:</span> Everybody wants some of Evlon’s artwork, but never can get a hold of her.<br> <br> <span style="font-style:italic"> VP Law #9.5:</span> If they do see her online, she flees almost instantly like a jittery rabbit and is never to be seen again before contact about her artwork. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #10:</span> The most mature person in a citizen’s group of friends is usually and surprisingly, especially to the group of friends who had no clue, the youngest. However, this isn’t a concrete theory, but isn’t uncommon.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #11:</span> The Auction Forum is where people make the most money in their whole Vpian Career. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #12:</span> If there’s a hidden reserve in an auction, you can guess it’s at least 75% (at the very least) of the BIN. <br> <span style="font-style:italic"> VP Law #12.5:</span> The reason for the hidden reserve is to make bidders go on frenzy of high bids, thus making better money for the auction holders.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #13: </span>Hundreds of artists flock to the Art Contest board and will say they’ll participate, but only handful will ever enter. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #14:</span> If you have an extremely well-done banner on the forums, you’re immediately crowned superior. A fine example will be Nickel, who says, “that is true ;D since mine are well done and I’m certainly superior.” <span style="font-weight:bold">*</span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #15:</span> Experienced players put “Don’t send advertisements to me!” on their kennel in hopes of players would read and leave them alone, but usually are flooded with advertisements anyways. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #16:</span> Nobody messages others about their stud fee or dog price of “2147483647” because, frankly, who has the energy and time to do that? <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #17:</span> Your kennel isn’t professional until it has had millions invested on it with priceless, intricate layouts and swanky, lyrical banners. <br><br> <span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #17.5:</span> It looks even more professional if you add a viewer counter and put a “Don’t message me advertisements!” or “Dogs not for sale unless put up for sale!” <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #18:</span> Citizens who own the best show dogs or dogs will probably never in their whole career make as much as graphic makers. Ever. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #19:</span> It’s too common to see a citizen go and buy a training kennel to only sell it back within a few weeks to a couple of months.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #20:</span> Citizens who buy Sp. Upgrades with VPC are broke…until they need another upgrade. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #21:</span> Many Citizens in the chat room with Homework at the end of their names are actually online, but want to feel like they’re accomplishing something while blabbering. <br><span style="font-weight:bold"><br>VP Law #22:</span> If Prince Sushi doesn’t reply to your post, something terrible must be wrong or you need to bump it.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #23:</span> To be honest, whenever something bad happens citizens always give the misfortunate soul a cookie. What about the cake? <br><br><span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #23.5:</span> Because the cake is a lie.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #24:</span> Other citizens wonder how the hell certain players break the five thousand post marker because they were never caught posting. <br><span style="font-weight:bold"><br>VP Law #25:</span> Before players let someone train their dog, they inspect the kennel. If it looks like an expensive layout, yes. If not, they’ll stare at your grammar and spelling, and if the person uses chat-speak they most likely will ‘mysteriously’ disappear. <br><br> <span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #25.5: </span>And if you try contacting them again, it won't work.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #26:</span> The older citizens of VP usually and most likely have code names, varying greatly upon their mood or situation. <br><br><span style="font-style:italic"> Vp Law #26.5:</span> Nickel has too many of these that all the experienced players recognize. It’s not sneaky.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #27:</span> If you think you’re going to win an event, check if Nickel entered or you’ll epically headdesk. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law# 28:</span> There are too many VP Laws including Nickel to really care to write them all out. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #29:</span> The citizens who’ve been on the longest are on and off of VP like an uncertain relationship.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #29.5:</span> Ask the longest player how many times they ‘quit’.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">Vp Law #29.6:</span> If someone says they’re quitting, give them at least till the summer or a good year or two. They’ll be back. OH, they’ll be back.<br><span style="font-weight:bold"><br>VP Law #30:</span> You reach your popularity peak after two weeks on the forums and chat. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #31:</span> Many, many people log on Virtual pups just to talk to friends…and nothing else. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #32: </span>Rescuers take light pleasure as they read random things that are placed in the dog's notes, containing but not limited to, love letters and happy, random chat logs<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">VP Law #33:</span> There’s never a trainer when you really, really, really need one.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">VP Law #33.5:</span> If there is, they’re either too busy OR don’t want to do your type of training, or you have to pay an arm and a leg. Plus, your first son and soul. <br><br><br><br><br> <span style="font-style:italic"> * Was given permission to use out of humor and only to entertain. There was no vanity or venom used in said quote. </span><br><br>That being given to the public to view, any mentions of names on this post are not related to the actual post. The post was done entirely by me, Young Native, so if this post gets in trouble for any particular reason, which I can’t fathom why it would, the consequences should entirely be on my part. People may add suggestions if they wish.<br><br> Hope your eyes have feasted upon this piece of secretive laws and relished it in laughter.<br><br><span style="font-size:50"><br>The reason for this post was just for laughs. If someone feels offended, please try to laugh it off because it wasn’t meant to hurt feelings or infuriate people.<br><br>If any of these rules are related to a person(s), it was completely by coincidence. This was NOT directed towards single person or group of people. If many of these rules apply to you, it’s still a coincidence. </span>
