Welcome to Gaia! ::

whee did someone say your avatar was teh sexay hawt again?

It's hard not to praise you guys for all the work you put into this place, sad but.. I don't know, the newish people are urking me right now. The next one to say that pokemon you've made up in this store are just like nintendo is planning, say how they could do better or complain they don't have a pokemon after poofing into the thread saying "HI YOUR ART ROXXORS GIMME! domokun " then posting three times in about five minutes or WHAT EVER is going to get one of Zephyr's disinfectant bottles shoved up their nose! stressed

I know what you mean. <_<;

It annoys me how a lot of the people just decided to pop up when we were nearing 1000 pages just because of the possibility of them getting something. e_e;

Hence why I didn't do a page 1000 'kiriban' because I KNEW 398578094748957 people would be trying for it. stressed

I don't mind offhand comments 'praising' the shop and Zoo's art - hell, I could go on and on about how Zoo deserves it.

Praiseful comments are quite welcome, but should stop when you're just trying to kiss up to us. e_e;;

It was quite amusing to see some people respond to posts I've made with random comments, then be all "Can I be your #1 fangirl?!" or something .. and then when I respond 'brushing' them off, they say something like "Oh, well I guess I'll have to find some other way to .. nevermind .." ... and then they start doing similar things to Zoo. stressed

We are NOT stupid.

We are NOT going to fall for shallow, sucking-up-ness.

Both Zoo and I are smarter than to follow for such tactics, so there really is no point.

We aren't going to suddenly love you and give you anything you ******** wish .. or whatever else you're thinking of.

On a sidenote - Echo, I ******** adore you. You're one of the more active shop-goers, and have been there as often as you could be ever since (and before, even) you got a pokemon. You don't try kissing up to us - You're just yourself. >_< You're one of the few people I enjoy seeing each day and talking to .. and to be honest, I don't think I've ever been upset with you. o.<;; And I'm honoured that you like our shop so much to hang around it as often as you do ... and I'm even more honoured to refer to you as one of the few people I've made friends with. (although I doubt you'd consider me as a mutual friend sweatdrop )

Not speed based will help with the problem of the people taking the pokemon when they don't care so much about them ^.^ (and will be more fair to people who're not some new random person).

You could make it a RP flatsale and watch the people run away screaming! domokun *hugs Zephyr, remembering his flatsale* whee

We need a nice, stress-free, hugging thread to get away from everything else. whee *hugs AndrAIa*

Buahaha, an RP flatsale would be amusing. X)

I do my very best to be patient with everyone: shop-owners, regulars, and new folks alike. It's hard. ^^; It's very hard. I have to bite my tongue sometimes. But really, all the drama isn't worth it, and it's something we all need to remember. No breaking down over not getting pixels. >.>

You have to remember some times those pixels mean something. Like I get just as attached to a Gaia pet as to my pets in RL. Some times loosing a pet, even if it is just a collection of pixel, is devastating. It took me over a month to get over loosing Mudkip, Jolteon, and Dager.

*falls back into the guild* whee

*chews all the new-ish people in the store*

*sees Arii's post* :3 I was sure I'd upset you one time at least sweatdrop I hope not though.

o.< my friend has people doing that with her art (not on Gaia) all the time.. stare

*HUGS* 4laugh I would consider you a mutual friend! eek whee
*snugs* whee I just thought, well you have friends like Matt and every one.. and you are one of the shopkeepers so it makes you seem imposing(except when you're not being imposing xP).. whee :3 *just.. snugs* ^.^

*nods* Okay, I see your point, AndrAIa-san. .-.

Aaagggh. My sanity snapped for the day. x.x *rolls around*
