New item RE

Started By

Well, seeing as how so many people know who Whatchamacallit is (if not, he can be found here: http://www.alacritysim.com/dog.php?id=16198 ), I was thinking that it would be amazing to have an RE event that doesn't give/take money, stats, etc., but instead, it gives items.

The items can be any item found in the main shops (with exception to the cash boutique.) if possible. So if you get the Whatcha RE, you can get something like a toy stick to food.

It can simply go like this:
"Your dog _____ was running through town when he bumped across Whatcha's doghouse. You realize he isn't inside, but there is a random item with your name on it."

Or some variation of that. I would be interesting because there are so many different possibilities of items. And it's also awesome because Whatcha loves to be in the spotlight XD

So, if you don't support, please say why :) If you support, then you don't have to explain XD

I don't think it's appropriate to give an ordinary member his/her own RE. As it is the only user-owned dog with it's own RE has it only because it was the original site owner's decision. It was not something the user decided she should have and then requested, like you are doing here. If Ala were to allow something like this it would have to allow it for every single user and REs would no longer be rare - causing a serious financial stress on the site. Alacrity simply cannot create an RE for anyone who wants one. The RE could be applied to an admin's dog, or one owned by the newbie raffle account, but it would be inappropriate - and a dangerous precedent - to give it to any old dog owned by any ordinary user. I absolutely do not support.

I support it, I mean, why not? Just cause it isn't owned by an admin =p When it says Watcha it might be a link to the dog? Cause I actually have no idea who the other dogs you said are x]

Shallow is owned by Aadyn, an admin. I believe Rob herself granted Dinah the option to be in an RE herself.

09-4-2011 at 2:50 PM

But then, what about Dinah and Shallow who have their own RE's? XD

I agree with Kaitie. Maybe there could be a contest to create a unique NPC for this RE? This is rather a bit different from this suggestion, but just an idea.

I support but would rather have it be a generic dog, not a dog necessarily owned by a player =)

Support all the way to the top! C:

support all the way!

Whatcha can be found on the URL I posted on the original post :3

I like the idea, but blush, who's whatcha? I tend to usually focus just on what I am focused on

Support! I think that this is a really cute RE suggestion. It's not anything big either which wouldn't screw up the economy even more here on Ala.

09-3-2011 at 6:35 PM

Good Heavens! Can hardly even see the dog under it all... I'm not apposed to this idea. :)

09-3-2011 at 6:03 PM

Support!:D This is a great idea..

09-3-2011 at 5:41 PM

Support! -huggles Watcha-

I agree that this might start some conflict, but the whole idea is that Whatcha is the ONLY dog that has been hoarding items for almost a year now. someone can start now, but the thing is that whatcha has been hoarding for a long time now and Robyn is very familiar with him as well. I am not wanting this because I want to be famous, but merely because it's something different than getting money or losing health. XD

LOL - I just pictured poor Whatcha running around with all that junk on him and bumping into another dog and it all crashes off. :-P Its a cute suggestion - but I don't know how practical dropping random items from the main shops is - I guess it's better than that darn dog that steals energy.

09-3-2011 at 8:53 AM

Support; all I'd think to say has pretty much been said -- Dinah has one, why not Whatcha? He's well-known enough. As for the complaining, you're bound to get some no matter what; it's not so hard to tell anyone whining a simple 'no.'

Support Also, there is already a dog event for a dog that is a normal player's dog: the meanest dog on ala [yes the one that bites your dog]. So there is already a precedent o3o

09-2-2011 at 9:51 PM

<center>I do think there could be some conflict here. Of course, there really haven't been many actual dog random events, but if one person gets one, then I do see quite a few other people wanting one/wanting to try for one as well in the same manner. Of course, I personally would as well, with my Fleck. Since I consider him to be a fairly popular/well known dog on Alacrity. I'm also on the fence about this. I agree with Gamzee, though. At least some kind of random event that gives out small things, like collars and stuff, would be nice. In all honesty, I rarely /ever/ run into random events now. Kinda sad, really. I think alacrity could use more.</center>
