Letting go and moving on

Oh that tickles. hehehee

Mintsy... I have some... bad news.

Oh no. I'm dying, aren't I? I knew it!

No, no no no! Never. Ruby isn't even dead, remember?

But I've come to a decision... I'm no longer going to pursue getting your ears fixed.

No!? Why? I hate pink inner ears!

Because... we may not have much time left in our Pet Society house...

But these ears are ugly.

And the time that we do have... well I don't want to waste the energy lamenting over your changed ears. I want to put it towards more stories, more fun, etc etc.

In essence, more time for fun things and not worrying about stuff we can't change!

Well, stories and more fun things sound pretty cool.

Yes, Mintsy, they do! ::squishes:: I just want to enjoy the you I still have. Pink or green inner ears, you're still you. And you're still cute.

::huggles::

Crossing over

Aaaaaw my two favorite pixels having so much fun together! Don't get too attached to (fluff)Land Mintsy... I know things look bleak in Pet Society but I'm not ready for you to go to pixel heaven too!

A little back story here:

The butterfly and the background/decos here are from an old Facebook app that died on September 29th, 2011. Ruby was my beloved little pixel pet. And the land she is in, fluff, has long since died. But the people we met and the stories we created live on. 

Ruby LOVED Halloween. Trick or Treating in (fluff)Land was the best. 

Set Sail for Halloween!

My sunken ship is so neat!

Yeah I'm really glad I decided to do up this room.

Waaaaaait a minute... everything looks the same... but not...

It's this week's items, Mintsy. They're recolors.

WELL THEY LEFT OUT SOME!!!!!! Is this really the same bed?

Um, no... that's a recolor from a different theme.

Yay. 0% creativity. Am I going to die soon?

I'm not sure Mintsy :( But lets not talk about things like that...

Well I'm ready to set sail! Where's the upper deck?

This way Mintsy! :)

Oh yeah. Now I can set sail for anywhere I want!!!!!

Wait just a minute Mintsy... we need to put up the items from this week.

I can't wait! Ships are awesome!!!!

Yep... just keep dancing for a few more seconds Mintsy while I add a few more things...

Ok.

What happened to my treasure. And my sails?

AND MY DRESS!!!!!!!!!

Mintsy... you're on a haunted pirate ship...

Is this suppose to be Halloween? I'm unimpressed with the recoloring.

Yes, Mintsy, we are too.

Oh well. I'm ON A HAUNTED PIRATE SHIP!

That's the spirit Mintsy. Keep on dancing :)

Just go easy on the grog...

Mintsy....

Mintsy?

Sigh. :/

Where is Halloween?

Um excuse me... WHERE is Halloween?

It's Red Carpet Week. Everything is pretty and red and gold and all that glitter...

Oh. I think I found some Halloween stuff... Seriously PF? Uhg

Yeah I wasn't impressed. The both of them in one theme week? The horror.

OK. It's Halloween... MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!!!!!

I wish I could... sigh

Welcome... welcome to brokesville

What happened to my welcome mat? I'm not dressed for the woods!

I think it is pretty funny Mintsy. Not even the doors are working.

Do you remember when the Welcome Mat Scandal broke out?

Before the welcome mat you could not choose which rooms your friends came into when they visited. You absolutely could not. But when they fixed the mat after it broke for like two weeks, COIN doors suddenly had the same function (just not in gardens). When this matter was brought to PF's attention Playfish argued and lied saying:

"Sorry it took so long to comment on this officially - I wanted to get the facts straight first.

I found out today that you could in fact (previously) change the visiting room for your neighbors for free. Not a lot of people knew this (myself included) but if you put a door + TV in the room, that would change the default room (for your friends when they visit too). So the only thing that has changed is the use for a TV to change the default room to something other than room #1, you only need a door now.

There was a lengthy discussion about this with the team, and as it stands right now, there are no plans to change the current behavior.

Sorry guys. "

So I can imagine them coming back this time and saying "sorry guys, the welcome mat is now functioning like it was always meant to and we have no plans to change the current behavior." They wont do this of course, they have to fix it, but the thought amuses me! And made me remember the  Welcome Mat Scandal. Which half of the links are broken on that page because all of MY threads regarding it have been deleted. How nice. But the one that does work is very entertaining to read.

Also, I will note that I swore to never buy CC again. I mean, if Playfish could easily change the functions on CC items and render them useless and the so called special feature could be had for free... why put money into that? This was back in October- November of 2010. I have not spent one dime of my own money on CC since. It's all been earned through FB credits that I also earned or saving up CC lotto. Just thought I'd share that. Game can be played without spending real money... you just have to be inventive. :)

Um, while I've been rambling... has anyone seen where Mintsy went?

YOU'RE A THIEF AND LIAR! FIX MY STUFF!!!!!!

MINTSY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

HA HA HA HA! Goodbye Mayor!

Oh noes :(

No one will ever find the body here...

MINTSY! Millions of people dig there every day! >.< Oh goodness. Where is my jet. WHERE IS MY JET!

Rescuing the Mayor's Lost Animals

When is the Mayor gonna put a leash on his animals?

Beats me Mintsy but you'd better hurry up and find them or the Mayor's gonna make you shell out a lot of your free CC for that re-colored quest item.

Seriously... I'm out here EVERY DAY!

Swimmin in the pond... looking for that silly duck...

Chasing that crazy monkey...

And the Mayor's other crazy monkey....
we need Pet Police

Hmmmm....

Uh oh. What are you thinking Mintsy....

Mintsy...

Oh no.

There! I rescued them and brought them home where
they will never run away again!

.... MINTSY do you want to get us arrested!?





"Aaaaaaand now there wont be a part of the quest to go locate his silly animals!"


Maybe but you left out a few things here....

Like what? I think it is a perfect plan!

Well for one, you forgot the monkey.

We don't like monkeys

Granted... but you're also about to feed the Mayor's sheep to a fox!

Hahahaha... this fox is a vegetarian.
He only eats grapes.

... blinks...

Okay well, what about the fact that you can't even keep track of your own petlings?

At least they come in all at once when found...

This is true but I honestly don't know what you're going to do with the Mayor's.

Except carry them all over your garden...

Hmmmm....

Great. That's never a good sign.

Yeah... it's a good thing I crafted that jet... >.<

Rewarding Inactive Pet Society Players

Okay Mintsy... what are you mad about now?

Inactive players got 50cc free... FOR NOT PLAYING!

So? You get free CC each week.

Not 50cc! Not even 50cc a month!

But you get more than 50cc a year... this is the first time this year they've done this promo. Last inactive give away was a year ago.

 

 

 

I want rewarded too. I'm never rewarded!

Have you been reading the forum again? Don't listen to them.

Besides, aren't you rewarded each time you save up your free lotto CC to get an extra room? Without that free CC you wouldn't have your fine dining and casino room....

No, I guess not...

Or your Rococo sitting room

Nope and it is pretty classy!

What about your plushie gallery?

I love my plushies!

And your gardens:

It's small but so cute!

Who says creepy isn't fun! Weeee

I love my gardens too

I'm pretty sure all this equals more than 50cc... which is all an inactive player will probably ever see yearly. Fifty cc wont get you far with how many CC items they release each week so I doubt people who left will be enticed to keep playing over that.

Sometimes I forget... and sometimes PF doesn't reward us like I think they should

Yeah, I know. But we can't say we don't get any rewards at all. We *do* get a loyal player log in bonus each week. And it *does* equal more than 50cc a year. Playfish throws a lot of crap at us worthy of whining about but this... eeesh we could be getting nothing but yet we do get something!

As for people with a million inactive accounts being rewarded... are we really gonna get all in a tizzy over other people cheating? Yes, Playfish was stupid (because it was able to be abused). Yes, people are greedy. And yes, life isn't fair. But go ahead, stomp your feet over loyal players not getting bonuses and argue that the lotto doesn't count when the lotto will give you far more than what they've offered one inactive account for one whole year.

Cheers!
