On Permanent Hiatus. Or, have quit. Pretty much. Might come back one day.
Have a nice day. I love you all.

Well, this one is kinda my fault, actually, but here it goes:

Well, around 8 months ago, I started an auction thread. It was during the summer, and as the summer passed, I thought that I would have a lot of time to do the auctions.

Well, how wrong I was!

When school started, that got in the way. I tried to spend as much time on CS as possible, but then I started losing interest! I tried to keep up my spirits, and I tried to spend a lot of time on the thread, but, lately, I started having decision issues. I would put the auction pet up for months, and try to get something good out of it.

I often kept it up for ages, and on one bid, these 2 people were battling it out, and you could tell they both really wanted it! I accepted one bid because it had one of my v.r. hoard pets in it. XD

After that, I tried to keep it in my interests. But I began to like other things, and, eventually, I decided to stop trading altogether. :< I had people yell at me, and complain that they were dropping out because they'd waited on the edges of their seats for five months; but, seriously, when you can't choose anymore, what can you do?

And that, my friends, is my l'il auction rant. ^.^;

I've had my auction going on for maybe about 10-15 days. It feels like it's been longer. And I'm afraid people will pull out u.u

That's just the thing. I already HAD a bunch of people pull out, because my auctions went on for MONTHS at a time because I had issues with deciding. Partly because of my conscience, but, I mean, still. DDx

Like for my Zebra, I'm not sure I want to take a step down from an OMG so Rare for a few Very Rares...

I know what you mean. It's so hard to get a really really good offer. Just a bunch of maybe's. Difficult to choose whether or not to close the auction or wait for more offers.

Yeah. I feel like if I close it, I'll be letting the people who are winning down u.u Or they'll hate me D<

Uh... Here's my rant.

Once I accidentally traded away my Evil PPS. Well, I entered an auction for one, and I put a pretty good offer. Well, I waited a while. After THREE FREAKING MONTHS, I finally just traded for one and withdrew my bid. I really hate when they just never end the freaking auction.
1/17/22- I AM NOT ACTIVE, I WILL NOT TRADE WITH YOU. DO NOT CONTACT ME ON OTHER SITES (lord knows how y'all get them).

(the former message:)

I am not active here anymore and I highly doubt I will be touching this account again outside of looking at some very old memories and laughing at happenings of waaaaaay back in the day. Sorry to anyone looking to trade for old pets and stuff- you'll have to get your fix elsewhere.
