So, uh, just cuz no one seems to have answered this from the last time this was asked... who's B-5? Not like, who, specifically, since I know we're not supposed to mention usernames, but, uh... Any chance I can get more information on this notorious person? ^^;
Hey mods! I'm merging accounts with Diabolacuna, so I'll be sending all my pets over to her a bit at a time! Thanks for understanding!

I haven't traded with them but apparently they offer tons of common pets for a handful of super rares. From what I have read.

and the meaning of the word "free" :lol:

I've recieved a few trades for my staff pups lately, being that I have every one; all of them include the message along the lines of look through my trades thx -_-

Don't you hate when people leave messages that make it seem like they're assuming you'll accept?

B-5 is notorious for sending bad trade offers, usually either a common pet for a rare or a massive amount of extremely common pets for a bunch of rares, generally with no message or a 'how about this?' comment. It was because of B-5 that the 'reverse-trade' tactic came into being (editing the trade to be a ton of their pets for a couple of your own very common ones), as well as the term 'spaghetti trades', in which a bad trader sends out a ton of bad trades in hopes that one or two might get accepted, like flinging spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks. I personally have never had a trade from her, but many others have, and she's probably one of the main contributing factors to people now chomping so hard on newbies for sending bad trades because B-5 has shredded everyone's patience with such trades.

oh yes, I despise that. The person that sent me the trade for the Sock Dog also sent me a trade offering a Malk Crate for a see-through Staff pup, saying that they thought it was a good deal cause the crate could be an uncommon or even rare pet. I already have the full set of the crates. :roll: They also sent a trade offering a pink glitter and a common pink-y/purple-y Horse for a Zebra PPS. Their message was something along the lines of "please accept! This is really fair! Please I'm begging you!" -headdesk-

I got a trade from B-5 once, she spammed up my trade box with a bunch of crappy trades, like a bunch of 2nd-Gens for my very rare pets, which I love AND they were in the box labeled 'NOT FOR TRADE. EVER.'
