Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 3:01 pm Post subject: Special Variations and Waiting for Tokies! |
|
|
Have you ever had a special variation you really wanted to create but couldn't because you were working on another or lack of tokens! I know I have, Today for example. I was thinking about Variations I i could create, I thought about foxes, And I remembered one fro a book of extinct animals I read before. The Extinct Falkland Island Fox, It was the only land based four legged animal native on the islands, It preyed on the land birds and large insects. It was very interesting to me, I read a little more and its very sad how it became extinct, but sadly it happens the same way for many other island species like the Dodo and others. Through I'm at a lack of tokens and I'm doing a gerbil color and variation, UGH! *Please, I want to create this variation please so don't use this variation just yet, but I can't do anything about it, wah!* I plan on saving up the money for a big blast of tokens to finish the gerbil creation and then using the rest for the cute little now gone Falkland fox! So, do you have incident about that? Stories welcome! |

I have a word document with all the things I want to make with tokens, and roughly how much they would cost. Some are more serious than others.
It is something of a dilema for me though- do I spend buckets on making it AE to protect it, or do I settle for endangered knowing that if it's an at all popular breed somebody is going to grab a pair and breed them in the first week. Or should I sacrifice some prestige and make them threatened, as I suspect people are less likely to buy foundation threatened pairs as Endangereds seem so much more coveted, and less likley to be come overpopulated.
I have some tokens though, I'm more saving up my exams and making room to accomodate my ideas before I make anything new yet. |

I don't organize much, I remember what I want to make usually, but it overflows sometimes ... If I prefer, I would usually like AE's, but they are However very expensive like you said. So I usually save up my money before I go fro the tokies, through I start donations much earlier , Anyway, I don't do much creating if any, I've only done Joint creation of AE Hasst eagle, and a detail for eagles. |

I haven't gone asking for Token donations because i find that people donate just a small percentage of the cost (like 50/2000 for an AE) and then expect to get a whole offspring of that creation. Creating costs a lot and people don't always respect that, trying to get it cheap or going straight to buying your End creation. Then you spent $6 on it, and then spend $1.50 to get the same thing. |

That's why I think Trust is such a big thing here, if the creating thing was gone, it would still be about trust ETC... Plus you can't really do anything about it, Its plain rude, that's why I'm making sure at least Most of my variations are going to be AE. |

It still happens though. The variations of other people that I have bought largely belong to people that don't play any more, and although I don't message them, I do respect those animals. |

Basically wehn someone miss uses a Whole Ae, is when I think it goes bad, but there's other types of incidents. The Ragdoll and West Highland terrier for example... |
