I think... NOT!
and then this:



what gets to me is the "this is mostly donation" part. oh yeah. thanks a ton! oh wait...



and this morning someone sent me a trade of 11 common '10 pets and asked for like 7 or 8 rares + uncommon bunny. wow I never used to get trades this bad! seems as soon as I have a couple rares the vultures swarm. xD at least this person was COPPA'd though, so whatever. but the other two people... have been here longer than me.... u__u


I don't believe in foe-ing, yet, but I'm close to it. xD

They offered: 3 advent 09 lions, 2 Shima foxes and a common horse from last month.

They wanted: 3 09 Bunnies, 2 Rare 10 bunnies. (All rare except 1 uncommon)

Now you would think that with the rarities listed under each pet they would have known better. A great start to the day.

Yesterday I received this message:

Hey,
Do you swap your dog in your signature for your hoard dogs? When yes, I will give you 2! That´s a good deal for us both!
~name~

I wrote back:

Hey^^
Thanks for your interest, but I don´t trade my dog in my signature for my hoard pet.
And it is not a good deal for us both^^

Alright. Apparently playing on CS gives you telekinetic powers, everyone! I sent the person I mentioned above a trade for two pets from their 'Dreamies' group, because...hey. It didn't say in their rules not to anymore.

They canceled with: get out and stinking read the rules only from trades and doubles!

Here's the conversation that followed:

Me
"I'm sorry, I'm really not sure what I did wrong...I read you're rules. The only rule you had was not to offer on newborns. Unless you're referring to rules you posted on a trade thread? If so, then I didn't see said trade thread - I found you by looking at the 'Who Is Online' list, so there's no way I could have known about any trade rules except the ones actually in you're trade rules."

Them
"don't take that doesn't have a double and don't take what's in dearies or don't even try it."

Me
"Then maybe you should put that in you're trade rules? The only one you have is 'No one may take my growables unless very rare or omg rare is up!', so anyone who sends you a trade is going to have no way of knowing you don't trade doubles or pets in Dearies."

Them
"they should."

....Well. I tried to be helpful *shrugs*

I believe I had a run-in with the same person. I offered up two early-09 uncommons (both on their wishlist) for 1 09 uncommon and one 09 common because I REALLY wanted the one 09 uncommon. Said person threw a bit of a snit-fit about "not taking pets that weren't doubles" and "not reading the rules". I reread the rules and saw only something along the lines of "Anything not in 'Dearies' or 'Hoard' is up for grabs". Neither pet was in one of those specified groups.

Learn to lock your groups then!

omg! >:| omg!
thats obnoxious!

"What did the hand say to the face?" "SLAP!"
ugh. that made ME mad.

Also, as far as code words, had an interesting one the other day.

Someone had a rainbow-colored rules list, with about 8 different code words throughout this novel of a rules list. I put in what I thought was the last codeword but apparently I missed one, in microscopic yellow print that almost matched the background. The trade went through anyways, but still was a bit irritating.

Good grief, there are some very rude people on here.

If I've taken the time to write a polite trade message - which I always do - the least you can do is reply when you cancel. Even if it's just a simple 'No, thanks'.

Oh yeah, and don't get me started on codewords. It's extremely childish. Let's have some trust back, yeah? If people haven't read your trade rules, then it's their lookout - just cancel the trade.

Raargh.

Right. I feel better now.

[fifetastic]

I just got this trade sent to me. Are you kidding??

I always put a message (except sometimes when I swap newborns) and I absolutely HATE it when people just cancel with not even a word...

[BLUBBERPUPPY]

Somebody offered me a trade today that made me frown.

"Person will give 2 pets for your 159 pets."

All of my rares and 2008s included. For one common yellow-eyed cocoa dog [7/2010] and an uncommon glacier dog [6/2010].
