WHEN DID YOU JOIN CS?
July of 2012, right before the Summer Event started! It was a great introduction to CS and is by far my favorite summer event to date.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BEST MOMENTS YOU'VE HAD ON CS SO FAR?:
Hmmm.... One was definitely completing my staff pets collection (from 2009 to date!). Next I'd say would be getting the aquarium pet in the 2012 Summer Event. It was probably the first thing I ever really wanted and achieved on chickensmoothie. It made me really happy when it finally appeared as my prize from the ring toss.

FAVORITE PETS?:
Ha Is that even a question?


FAVORITE THING TO DO ON CS?:
Oh boy what a question! I've gotta say I have a few. Dressing up PD (my sig pet) for holidays is definitely something I love to do. As well as collect staff pets! I have a complete collection up to date. I've gotta say completing the 2009 staff pet set was one of my greatest accomplishments on this site.

WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST CS REGRET?:
Ugh... so. My first month on Chickensmoothie, I went to adopt the cats and got some weird ugly disfigured cat thing. It may have been some sort of big cat. A lion maybe. I didn't care I didn't like it. Someone offered some older pets off my wishlist for that ugly cat and I gladly accepted.

(*Sobs really hard*)

HAVE YOU GOT ANY ADVICE OR TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS?:
YES. Please please please don't trade your pets until you know what they're worth. If a lot of people are asking you for the same pet, chances are it's worth a good amount. Don't let people take advantage of you because you're new. There are forums dedicated to figuring out if something is a fair trade or not. But above all just don't trade if the rarity is unknown.


Don't make my mistakes, y'all.

Favorite thing to do on CS?: Roleplay.
What's your biggest CS regret?: When I was a noob (or rather, even more of a noob than now) and traded good pets for bad offers in the long run.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Get some opinions on what the pets you trade are worth or if your trade is fair before making your decision based on pet appearance or just assumptions. Seems tedious, but better to be safe than sorry.

What's your biggest CS regret?: someone sent me an amazing gift with a ton of rares, but i didn't want to accept until i had the perfect thank-you message, so i waited to accept it, but they cancelled a few days later rip
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: if you have a pet you don't know the value of, don't trade it until you know. especially if its rare. also, forum games are fun, and playing them lets you know the community more.

What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: roleplaying, definitely! there was one i joined towards the beginning when i was just getting into roleplay: death river wolf pack. it wasn't well organized and a lot of the characters were overpowered, but i had an insane amount of fun before it died out.

When did you join CS?: May 5th, 2015. I was about to go to bed but snuck online and randomly found this here site
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: One time I got a listie from the Pound. That was pretty awesome. Also, just about any time I've gotten a gift. They make me feel special, haha
Favorite pets?: For sure, the UR Ice Cat. I hope to get one someday
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Talk to my friends on here, mostly. I also like to trade/gift people, and the forum games are rather nice. I never really got into roleplay, however
What's your biggest CS regret?: Oy. One time, when I had a UR Pineapple auction running, someone offered me a Nontag for it. I accepted, but shortly after they wanted a tradeback. I regret giving it back to them, selfish as it sounds. Whoops
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: If you get a trade you're not completely happy with, don't accept it! Make sure to check the fair trade topic and get multiple opinions. Also, when going to the pound, I suggest adding many rare pets to your wishlist, so you'll see them marked when you go to adopt.

When did you join CS? I joined in June of 2016.
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: Hmm... tough choice. Most likely the times I have had with the friends I met and all the awesome events here!
Favorite pets?: Bunnies, Cats, and PPS of all kinds!
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Check the pound and look through my bookmarks to see what I can post about
What's your biggest CS regret?: Not getting really involved the first month I joined. Had I asked more and talked more with people I could have had a better time!
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Always ask. Don't be afraid to ask about ANYTHING. Send a trade you know will get canceled. Ask for a few free doubles or unwanted from others. Take advantage of the help and info threads, and go to the pound a ton. Most of all, do not be afraid of talking to others and meeting potential friends!

When did you join CS?
November 2011.

What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?:
The Special Events, like now! Also, the Space Event was incredibly fun. But what was the most awesome? Helping people out, and randomly giftbombing people!

Mostly, making friends, just getting to chat with different people, and helping folks out when i can. I like to Pass It Forward; i'm glad CS gives me a chance to do that.

Favorite pets?:
#1. Butterwolves!

Equal to that, the realistic equines. Dressed pets also. Other than that, if it's a cute pet, i will adore it. :3

Favorite thing to do on CS?:
Pet collection of course. I miss dressing my pets though.. trying to do it these days on my phone isn't easy; the phone doesn't like the item-placement coding someway. Makes me hugely miss my laptop! And i love chatting with different people. I'm disabled and housebound; the chats here are life-giving.

What's your biggest CS regret?:
Grief, trading off a few high-tier pets long ago, not having a guess of their values at that time!!

Have you got any advice or tips for new players?:
Yah, never get in a hurry to trade off your special December 18th Adopts. Research their values thoroughly before trading them.

Same for any other adoptable, whether pet or item. Make sure to research on Forums everything's demand and value before trading.

And most of all, make sure you read and follow all the rules.

Thanks Tess, Nick & all the Staff for building and maintaining such a wonderful community!
