December 18/24th Discussion 2011 *NEW RULE*

I got valuable pets, but I happen to already have them.. xD



I got this exact dog from the pound a while back. A rare 09 advent, but still, I have very few old pets and this is random.



This puppy was my pride and joy 18th score LAST year. And I got my favorite outcome, the flop eared pink september. <3 I love it so muuch, but I don't know if I want more of the litter. Bahaha. weird luck hrm.

Still, I am satisfied and happy with them.. it's weird though.

My best friend was ripped off a rare and a very rare because she is new and doesn't know much about chicken smoothie.
Anyway, 2 people told her that they were going to turn into commons. Believing them(not that it is her fault) accept I chaecked the REAL raritiy and I told her she had been ripped off. Some people will do anything to get rares/very rares!!!

Don't feel too bad, someone got a current month pet.

It was probably just a pet from this month adopted on the 18th, not a rerelease. ^^

no they were REALLY torn up about it. I don't remember their exact quote, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were swear words. >.> not that I could blame them

There are a lot of older members trying to help out newer members BEFORE they get scammed. It's really hard sometimes, I think next year some of us should post a Pre 18th Warning for newbies at the trading post. Might get yelled at for spamming the wrong place, but THAT is where they're looking already and THAT is where you get their attention. (at least I think) Warn them ahead of time to lock their pets until they know what they have FOR SURE, and to not accept ANY trades until they have located their pet in the archive, or someone they can trust has.

I wonder what the staff thinks about it. If they can report it as a scam (BECAUSE IT IS A SCAM) then people should think twice. I have seem some people posting that it's NOT a scam, but let's face it. People are taking dvantage of newer members, even if they don't outright LIE about their pet's rarity, offering them anything less than the pet's true value and BLINDLY letting them accept without the proper knowledge is WORSE.

Pet's name: Love
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

What will this pet turn into?

[Catheren]

Areas of intrest to post Pre 18th warnings are the trade thread, and probably some of the "what is this/how much is it worth" threads. Knowledge is the greatest power against scammers

Scamming is when you lie to someone that some newborn will be uncommon but really it will be very rare. You don't scam with just sending unfair trades to newbies. There are topics like 'is this fair trade?', so they can use it right? Also wishlist doesn't bite, there are written rarities.
