On it Veggie

[Enbizaka]

I hate it when people DEMAND free pets with no message. You edit, and they edit it back.

Or, even when they wanna adopt a pet from your adopt group, with No message.

I was in a bad mood, and cancelled an adoption trade, with "No manners, no pet"

PM

u hv 2 giv mi tha pet! Or I report u 2 teh mods

Me: I don't *have* to give you that pet. I don't like rudness. Try some manners when you wanna adopt from me.

Plz

Me: I said Please, not plz. LMA

Random abrieviation I made up. Let's see if they guess

LOL XD

Well, finally got my first massive trade... of course they offered nothing. I'm calling it "humungo trade".

Here is a quick overview.

For those that want a somewhat closer look, follow these links, but flickr seems to skew things. Not the best cut and past either, but after about the 4th screenie of only 15, i was over it.
First part.
Second part.
Last part.

This was the message they included with it.
"I have read your trading 'rules' and understand your terms. However, I don't understand how someone with so many duplicates can be unwilling to share older pets with individuals who don't have much to trade.
Therefore, despite your statement, I am sending this request. I figure the worse you can do is cancel the trade, at which point, I'll know not to bother you again.
Thanks for your time."

And this was mine.
"Okay, i'm not an adoption center, there are enough people giving away free pets in the adoption forum. all the pets i have i've either adopted myself or spent the time and traded to get (that includes quite a few older ones in my trades). i definitely didn't go around begging for pets because i was new. you want pets to trade, you want good pets, you do the work to get them, don't expect people to go giving you things on a silver plater. i have given away free pets, but not to people that ask. I mean seriously, i have the rules there for a reason. I only need a few older pets to complete my collection and those alone are most likely worth every single pet i own. if i wanted to give away free pets, i'd have an adoption center. but considering i can't stand newbies begging and taking things for granted, i don't.
So, if you want pets to trade, wait until you have things to trade like i did, save and trade for better pets like i did. It's all patience. kids these days expect things for free, it doesn't work that way. you work for your pets and don't beg for them. You aren't going to make many friends doing this. and i dread to think how many you have done it to.

Anyway.. good luck with that. "

Aaaaarrrggghhhhhhhhhh Does a newbie think i'm going to hand over half my trade collection just because they're new? I never got hand outs when I was new, I wouldn't have even dared ask! They read my rules yet ignored them. But hey, it gave me a chuckle and I'm sure those of you that have been here a year or more like i have will find it amusing too. Especially after all thy time they would have put into it. ~laughs~

edited because it's 4am and I'm half asleep but just had to post it. In case i wake up and it was a dream...? And let's see everything go suddenly quiet in the thread, just like most other threads I've posted in. ^^

do I see a clear-eyed galaxy in there
