ooo, DOG avatars would be cool!

I voted "No" because I feel that they are out of place on a sim such as this one. I would much rather have our talented artist team working on fun new accessories for dogs rather than on human avatars. Plus, we can already create tags, which can be even more expressive than human avatars.<br /> <br /> However, I do like Katie's idea about "Handler Stats" which would effect how we trial.

this is a dog game not IMVU or yahoo if anything make dog avatars and dress those up

I'd still dislike it. Although it would add something new to the game, like many other people have said, alacrity is about THE DOGS not the humans

Well, ZJ, I wouldn't like the features. We have the trainer and breeder's perks already, so additional perks seem kind of useless in my opinion.

I voted no.<br /> <br /> I couldn't agree more with Ras's post. Ala is a game that focuses on agility, dogs, training, breeding. All of these are dog things. But human avatars have no key role in any of these. <br /> <br /> I have been on several sites with human avatars, I really dislike them. <br /> <br /> I understand this would be a new feature for Ala, but maybe something else that be a tad more beneficial to the site itself and pay off in the long run. Maybe attract more players, but human avatars certainly aren't going to do just that. If I want to make an avatar, I'd go to another site to do that, not Ala.

Just to clear up something, the human avatars would be called Trainers or Kennel Owners or something. They wouldn't be out of left field, but tied into Alacrity.<br /> <br /> Would you be interested in them if they offered more input into the site, say affecting your training, trialing, or breeding? Would that make them more appealing to those who dislike it, or would you still dislike it?

go nell

I feel as though the avatars would be pointless to the game. Time and money wasted for a seemingly pointless feature, where it could be spent adding something new and valuable to Ala! This sim is about trialling and breeding dogs, not humans :) I think it distracts from the point of the site.

I voted that I'm fine either way. I wouldn't be upset if they were added and I wouldn't be upset if they weren't. I think if they were done correctly it could look alright and create more things for players to do such as dressing up the little human avatar. Or it could be more interactive having your handler avatar have stats that could improve how well dogs do in trials. We could really add in more factors to what dogs need to win trials. Like I said, I don't really mind. What is trialing without handlers? I think it could fit if done correctly, but as I said, I don't mind either way =)
