I don't want to insult any of you guys so please don't take this personally but I've noticed a lot of 'I just met you but let's be mates' sort of things going on... Now, it happens and it's fuin and such and I understand and I'm not only using this particular thread as my proof. My main character Zeus and Desiree were a similar case. in fact, they were the exact thing that I'm talking about. But again, it's not a bad thing but it gets so... I dunno, 2-dimmensional. i understand that dogs don't really choose their mates but they also don't mate for life so non of this is really realistic... I'm not saying it should stop, again I'm just bringing it to everyone's attention as it is a very newbish thing to do... Not to say you guys are newbs, i beg of you not to take it that way, I'm just saying. If we look at this from the perspective of a life-long relationship, personalities don't always get along. Plus, rping is not all about finding a mate....
Okay, just bringing this to everybopdy's attention and I don't intend for you guys to change the way you play just to make me shut up but i just want you to be aware. You guys, though still good rpers, have much room for improvement but improvement is not all about post size. The way you play has a serious affect as well. Like if you say your character is mean, play them as mean. Or if they're cold and don't trust others, don't have your character "Strangely open up" to everyone, you know? Or at least retype the personality...
Sorry about the random ranting... I rp with this newb person on another site and I keep telling her to work on improving her skills but she keeps ignoring me and it's REALLY irritating. I mean, she types like half a line per post and it's just.. grrr. It's really no fun...
Sorry to take it out on you guys but... I really have nowhere else to vent...

That may be true but it's still something I think we should work on. The profile should reflect the dog you play. if the dog changes, edit the profile. Otherwise, it makes you as a player look bad. Because new members don't know why you do things or your reasons for it, they only look at your dog's profile and when the profile is different then the dog, you're classified as a newb. Now, I don't think this way about you but that is what I think when I first join a site and that's what I see... and I don't think I'm alone in that thought...
The same thing applies to mates. Try not to look desperate for a mate. That's also a very newbish thing to do, just run around blindly look for someone for your character to love. That's not really what rping is about. it's really not getting to where your character wishes to go that's important but more of how he/she get's there. Ya know?

You're not being rude, I'm just being a big baby. ^^
You don't have to go out of your way for me and what not so don't really worry about it. I'm just trying to make this place more appealing. A lot of the peple I've asked to join have turned away saying that this site isn't literate enough for them and I think that's part of the reason for the depleating activity. Like Cairoco City. I think part of the reason everyone loves the site is because of the 150 word minimum. I don't intend to impose such a serious minimum but... I dunno. My experience as an admin of a few relatively sucessful sites says that this one is missing a few things. Guess I should talk to desiree about it...

Disturb I totally understand what you mean. It drives me mad when Im rping and just out of the blue a dog comes up and is all like "I love you" Now yes, I sometimes do this. But I just rush into getting at least one of my dogs a mate, Or if I see a dog that would be perfect for my charracter, then I rush to it. Yet It drives me insane when all the time dogs are flocking towards my charracters just throwing out "I love you's" Not mentioning any names but its happend to me I think ugh twice on this site already ... Not trying to sound rude but ... Its annoying.
Ok im done *Places Duck Tape over her Mouth*
