Goodbye and thank you!

Troglin · April 2014

So everyone, I'll let this be relatively short and sweet. For nearly ten years, I have had the pleasure of being a part of the VirtualPups community. In this time, I've met countless individuals who have impacted my life in multiple ways. I have gathered my fair share of friends and enemies, even having the chance to be involved with some players in the real world. My time here has taught me valuable lessons in communication, relationships, respect and responsibility. For the last three years, I have had the opportunity to serve this community under a moderator role. I feel incredibly grateful for the chance to assist other players in such a massive way. For better or worse, the role offered very unique challenges and made a significant difference in my life. Despite some of the more rough crash courses I've received, I do not have regrets about my time here. I am actually very thankful to everyone for the time, wisdom, exchanges, hate, love and support that I've received over the years. That all said, I will genuinely miss being a part of this game and a part of this community. I will cherish the memories I have, but I will not hang myself on what could have been. Truth be told, I look forward to turning the page and starting the next chapter of my life. Thank you to everyone, for everything you have done and everything you have allowed me to do. Thank you for allowing me into your virtual lives, even if we didn't see eye to eye at times. I wish everyone the best of luck within the gaming world and, of course, in the real world. Sincerely, Anastasia

Sorry to see you go, we never talked much but you were always a great help to me and it was good having you around! Kennel Link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=411484"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=411484</a> Why do you feel you deserve a clump? I have a few projects that I am trying to get finished up, and this extra money could go a long way in helping me complete a few of my goals. What are your plans for this pup? Train him/her up in hopes for a successful evening career Why do you feel you deserve a Precog Empath? I've played the game off and on for about 8 years now and have tried to help people when I can or when people have come to me Please (politely) explain how you personally feel about the concept and/or existence of empaths. I'm not sure exactly what the precog part is, but I know a empath is when someone feels the emotions of others? Although I defiantly would not like to be one, I think that it is pretty interesting. I'm probably going to look a little into the subject when I have some free time.

Heartless Riku · April 2014

Awww Ana :[ Thank you for everything you have done and all those great memories in VP chat, when you would hangout and talk to us (the crazy people)

Kennel Link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=254047"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=254047</a> What are your plans for this pup? Honestly, I don't know xD I might event him/her, but I would be too afraid of something bad happening to the pup. Like, mess up on the training. Why do you feel you deserve a Precog Empath? Don't know. I have done anything so outstanding that makes me stand out above the rest. I've only done the simple things, like lending out a hand or ear when someone was in need. Please (politely) explain how you personally feel about the concept and/or existence of empaths. I love empaths, and understand everything they go through because I am one. Being labeled "too emotional" or "crocodile tears (in Spanish)" have been things that I've been through. Although empaths have their downs, like picking up on too much negative emotions and not being able to find a perfect balance, it also has their ups. One thing that I personally love about being an empath is having that ability to feel a deeper connection with a friend and/or stranger when they need someone to listen to their troubles. Picking up on their emotions is like walking in their shoes, and somehow understanding everything they are going through.

I played a couple years ago and just recently, a couple months ago, got back into the swing of the game. I am working on a couple projects with my main line of goldens and then a couple other lines as well. For the most part I have been picking up jobs here and there to make money. This money would defintely speed somethings up for me and be put to good use

I know I don't really know you, but I used to play a lot between 2005 and 2008. I was pretty well established but then lost interest in the game. I recently made a new account and I've realized how much I miss the game. The extra vpc would really help me out.

This is generous of you :-) Kennel Link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=481438"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=481438</a> Number(s) you are interested in: 4 What are your plans for the dog of your choice? I plan to train this dog for conformation events and try it out, since he's almost spot on identical to the breed standard (only half a star off). But I mainly want to add it to my personal gifty collection. By now everyone should know how I feel about APBTs in game, but I also dedicate much of my real life to the breed. I won't get on my soapbox, but the dog's name and color really speak to me and my cause.

Frostbight8 · April 2014

Ana! Very sorry to see you go, but I absolutely respect your decision. You've always been very patient with me, and you've helped me out of a couple messes in the past. So, thank you for that! Kennel Link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=299226"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=299226</a> What are your plans for this pup? I'm not completely sure, but I'd probably try to event the pup. The breed seems to have a fantastic intelligence stat. I'd never sell. Why do you feel you deserve a Precog Empath? These questions are always the hardest to answer! I have played VP for 4 years now, and I've always tried to be an honest player. I try to help new players when they ask, as I know that the game can be confusing at first. Please (politely) explain how you personally feel about the concept and/or existence of empaths. To be completely honest, I had to look up Empaths, as I had only a vague idea about them. When I did, I was kind of surprised that I'd never heard of them much before! I've always been into subjects like that, and I actually found that I could relate to a lot of the characteristics. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say I'm an Empath, but I could relate. I think it's important to have people like Empaths in the world, because not everyone can sympathize with others, but if they could, a lot of conflict would be resolved.

Para Darkwater · April 2014

I truly hate to see you go Ana, we've never talked on a personal level before but you have always been kind and helpful when we have talked. We all go through changes in life and through our journeys we sometimes have to move on from one chapter to start another. I hope that in whatever direction life takes you you'll find happiness. I wish you the best in everything you do. Kennel Link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=412193"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=412193</a> What are your plans for this pup? I would train it and event it, more than likely in assistance trials and or search and rescue. Why do you feel you deserve a Precog Empath? I'm not sure really. I've been playing for almost 3 years now and in that time I've tried to grow into the kind of players that others feel they can come to if they need help. I can be a bit reserved at times but when others talk to me I like to think I'm friendly and helpful. Through small actions on my own I've been trying to implement things that will help novice and new players get into the game and get started in hopes that they will stick around VP for a while. I've grown very attached to this game and want to see it thrive. Please (politely) explain how you personally feel about the concept and/or existence of empaths. While I don't feel I myself am a true empath I can relate to people who are going through difficult times as most of my life has been one filled with sorrow and hardships. Without going into all the details and giving my life story I'll try to sum things up. Sense a young age I've had to grow up much faster than most and face things that even now older adults have trouble dealing with. I've watched people in my life suffer and seen my fair share of death. I've lost many people important to me in tragic ways and now stand on my own two feet but often find it hard to face each new day. Because of the rough path my life leads me I feel I can lend an empathetic ear to those who need to get a few things out and do deeply get effected by the sadness of others. I also understand there is a difference between sympathy and empathy. In times of need so many can feel sympathy toward someone and feel sorry for them but in those rough times that is not what the person needs. They instead need someone who can be empathetic and look at things in a different light. They need someone who can relate to them but not pity them. For this reason I feel empaths are very important in helping others get through something they may not be strong enough to face on their own.

I've been playing many years and one thing I've found that really pushes me through all the hoops when it comes to life is dogs. Sadly, I'm unable to own any currently at this time and by that being said, in this game I'm able to achieve my greatest dream. To own and train/event multiple dogs. With this money, I'll be able to continue my goal of making it to #1 TOP KENNEL LIST. For those VP'ians who have been here forever, they all know how important that goal is to me. Having this money will help me take one step further to reaching that goal! I'm going to miss you Ana ):

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

HWRD2 · April 2014

Kennel link: 260956 why you think you deserve a clump? Well I have been a member for a very long time but I have been absent from herr for a little while due to hardships in my rl life. Im just now getting back into the game and dont have much money. I want to eventually be able to afford a breeding kennel so I can work on my lines more. I have done giveaways and had my own little heart to heart things in vp when I was more fortunate than others but sometimes your not able to do that. Ummm... idk what else to say. Lol. Luvs you lioness. Will definitely miss you and btw miss our talks. Lol.

Rock_N_Roll_Queen90 · April 2014

I'm very sorry to hear that you're leaving VP, you will certainly be missed. Kennel Link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=321655"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=321655</a> Why do you feel you deserve a clump? I would put the vpc to good use. I have a few lines I've been trying to work on, but I've had to slow down, and completely stop on some - due to lack of funds. There are also some gifties I would really love to collect, which the vpc would also go towards. And as always, I'm juggling 6 month and 1 year upgraded kennels, that can be rather overpriced at times.

Troglin · April 2014

Thank you to everyone who responded. My apologies if you didn't receive what you asked and/or were hoping for; I tried to use my best judgment on the placement of these things. Pride, thank you. I wish you the best of luck with your various projects. You may send a contract to Troglin for one of the clumps. Lyc, I will surely remember those eventful chat nights! Coverkay, please send a contract to Troglin for one of the clumps. Bryson, you may place a bid of zero on #4. cooljess, you may send a contract to Troglin for one of the clumps. Frost, you're very welcome! Thank you so much for all of the help you've also given me. Para, thank you very much. I am sorry to hear about all of the trouble you have had to go through in life, and I very much hope that it will get better for you. Bobcat, I will miss you too.

I hope you can get to the #1 spot on the top eventers list. You may send a contract to Troglin for one of the clumps. Fly, you may place a bid on two of the following: 2, 3, or 5. Whiney, I will miss you too. You're also one of the few who triggers those random memories of late night chats, heh. Best of luck with your real life situation and I hope all is well! You may send a contract to Troglin for one of the clumps. Rockie, thank you. I know we've had our ups and downs, but it has been a pleasure working with you through those issues. I was able to put up another clump, so you also may send a contract to Troglin for one of the clumps. With regards to the Empath pup, it was certainly a difficult decision. I didn't expect it to be as hard as it was, and I actually ended up doing a random draw (sorry!). The recipient of the pup will be Lyc. You may message me with your desired color and I will get you the pup.

Well, You and I have been decent friends for a while ( actually before you were even an OP I believe!) Other than that I dont know why i deserve one. haha Please (politely) explain how you personally feel about the concept and/or existence of empaths. Pretty much love the concept. As I understand it, they can somewhat predict the future. I like the think they will predict like when disasters will happen (whether they be in someones personal life or in nature.) and try to help prevent it! Thanks Ana, for everything
