(Adopter Form)
Username:
CaptainSpank
Languages that you are fluent in (besides English):
French (native) + Dutch (living for 20+ years in the country (NL)).
(+ German also, if "really" needed, I also lived for a few years in Germany, but I would prefer French or Dutch if I get assigned to a Newbie for Non-English...)
Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s:
Fouff..., yep...! I sometimes answer Questions/Threads on the 'Help, Questions & Problems' Sub-Forum, here is
a recent one for example..., +
1 more, and
here also...
+ By PM (sometimes) or when I react to a Trade (more often) if I notice the Player joined CS recently and they could improve "something" if they want to be more "successful" when sending Trades..., or I warn them if the Trade is actually Unfair to them, and I regularly gift new Players my extra Pets to get them "started" a bit quicker...
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?:
Well, "allowed" sounds a bit strange, I'm offering to help Newbies, I was a Newbie also myself "once", and I was very happy to get some Help from some very nice Players at that time, now I'm quite knowledgeable with the Game/Site, I think, (except 'Oekaki' that I don't use), so I don't mind helping new Players getting around with the whole Game/Site a bit "quicker" than if they have to discover everything by themselves...
(I'm also a Mod and Technical Helper on some Technical Forum... (for a Programming Language).)
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?:
Absolutely every day Online (since I joined CS, during the 'Halloween' Event in 2014 that hooked me to CS, ah-ah...!), and several hours a day, especially around the Opening Times for the 'Pound' and the 'Lost and Found'. (And much more during (Banner) Events of course...)
And I keep about 50 Tabs open on CS in a dedicated Browser Profile (Firefox) that I mostly use only for CS.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?:
Yep I did...!, or at least I think...
Not mentioned in the 'Adopter FAQ', I was wondering if the Thread-Mod sending the PM to an Adopter would mention if "we" have to send the 1st PM to the paired Newbie in English or some other Language, but I found the Answer in one of the 'Thread-Mod Copy-Pastes' Forms, (the 'Messaging adopters' Template), and Yep you do, good...!
(You have a Typo btw in the 'Adopter FAQ': "You also [my] not be on the list because we have not updated yet." => "my" = "may/might"... + Several times using "its" instead of "it's"... but OK, no big deal on that one...)
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:
Yep of course, or I wouldn't be willing/offering to help some new Player(s), ah-ah...!

AquilaFuga wrote:The following adopter forms have been declined for the following reasons:
- Form was inadequate, either did not provide enough information for us to make a decision or it simply did not give us confidence that you could adequately help a newbie. If you are not sure how you can fix this, you may PM a thread-mod about it.
Hum, I've been declined...

Eh beh..., alright, OK, fair enough..., I was just trying to help...
My PM-Inbox remains Open if "you" (Thread-Mods) ever need an extra Adopter or for anybody needing Help with the Site... (except 'Oekaki' and 'Role-Play' that I don't use)...
And nice to see that the Typo about "my"/"may" has been corrected... Good...
>>>
And one mini-Advice for all Newbies, as it is a "Mistake" you/we all make:
Before starting to send Trades, already start to add Pets to your WL (Wishlist), but start with Pets that you can "realistically" get, => from the recent Years (2021 => 2020 => 2019 => etc...), don't start with (only) 2008 and 2009 with only OMGSR (Oh-My-God-So-Rare) and VR (Very-Rare) Pets that you will never get in a Trade a few Day/Weeks after just joining the Game...

"Pragmatic Thinker"...
I don't try to read anymore when Users use ']Size=85[' (or smaller...!) on the Forum or in their Trade Rules..., as this is completely unreadable on Desktop in any Browser...!
