How it all works (Guide)

[.:Twisted:.]

Stats

Your dog’s permanent stats are divided into four

Strength
A strong dog is a useful dog indeed. With a high strength point, your dog will do excellent in fights. It’s best to have good strength when you own a dog that likes to sneak away outside. Dog with good strength also has a better chance of pulling something heavy out of the way or scaring away that creepy stalker that has been stalking you for a while..

Agility
This determents how fast your dog is. This is very helpful for agility show and it also help you win that race with the neighbor that’s been bragging about his award winning Collie for a while now. Along with your RP entry, Agility points help a lot when you enter an agility show.

Obedience
This tells you how smart your dog is. Check this when entering an obedience show. Simple things like Sit, stay, roll over, and beg all are learned depending how high your obedience is. This can also be raised by training sections.

Condition
This is the only not permanent stat out of the four. This shows how well cared your dog is. Failure to care for your dog will show and this will drop dramatically. If this stays high then your dog will be happy and clean. This helps when your trying to impress the judges at the dog show!



Food and toys

[/size]

You can feed your dog and play with him three times every two weeks. This may seems like a long time but we have a limited supply of staff here. Food and toys can help you raise your dog stat depending on what type you are giving it.

If you dog not feed your dog for a long period of time (two months) it will die. No second chances. If you do not care for your dog then it will die, period. Nothing will happen if you do not play with your dog only that it will be unhappy and you lost your chance to raise your dog’s stat. You can brush your dog or give it treats at anytime, problem is… treats and brushes are expensive and brushes break easily.

You can walk your dog everyday but you must role play the walk.

Equipped able items

Every dog has 5 slots

One for a collar
One for a leash
One for a piece of clothing.
One for bowls
And one for pillows

When you first buy and equip a collar, your dog is given an ID. This will identify your dog on the site. It’ll also help your dog get back home if you decide to role-play your dog getting lost. Leashes are important and without them you cannot take your dog on a walk. Clothing is important in the winter when it’s cold. It can help you avoid a lot of sickness and money! Without bowls you cannot feed your dog and pillows are for comfort. Some equipped able item can raise stats.

When you want to use an item just PM a mod or admin but please try to use everything you need on one PM, the staff is very busy! Remember some items have to be role-played.

Example: Use chicken box on Rover


Shows and races[/size]
Shows and races mostly depend on your RP post as well as your stat. If you are fair, by fair I mean something like this

Rover’s agility stat is not as high as every other dog

EX: Rover raced past the slower dog and worked hard to keep his pace with the other dogs. As hard as he was trying he could not keep up and started to fall back.

This shows that the person is not power playing. You get more points towards winning this way but if you give a good show and still lose then the judge will still give your dog some stat points.

Random events are well..Random. They come with no warning but if you would like a random free event then just say that in your rp post.


Jobs
So you want to advance already don’t you? Well you better start rping. Every time your rp in your appointed job, you get something call job points (JP). Depending how good your post is you’ll get JPs. In the “Jobs and careers” thread you can see how many points you need to advance, once you have enough points mail a mob or admin and start your new job!

Once you have completed your job career you have special abilities in the role-play

Examples
A vet can work in the office and replay to a post where he/she is needed. She/he can diagnose a patient.

A groomer can fix dogs up in the pet shop.Simple.

Policemen/woman can reply to thread that deal with crimes.

Hunters deal with threads that have to do with chasing animals off.


Most of the times a mod might make this post but if there is a problem in town then you can go ahead and try and solve it.
If you need to earn JP then create a thread according to your job and a staff member will come and reply.

To get a job just mail a staff. We know it's a pain but we don't have a server for it to be automatic.


Aging

Dogs will not age unless you are active. Aging is not a bad thing only that it means that your puppy will not be a puppy forever.

There are different stages to aging. Aging happens every month. We cut you come slack once your dog has reached adult and give you the choice to not age it a few times. Once it reaches old age, we give you the choice to kill it off.

Newborn- The first stage. You only get this if you have bred you dogs and after 1 week you can age.(1-16 weeks)

Puppy- This is the time when your dog is most willing to learn. They are also very cute and have a while to go before they reach adult.(1yrs-2yrs)

Older Puppy- You can choose to skip this stage if you like.(2yrs-3yrs)

Young adult- Your dog may enter shows and such (3yrs-5yrs)

Adult- Full grown dog, your dog may now breed.(5yrs-10yrs)

Older adult-once again you may choose to skip this. (10yrs-15yrs)

Senior- Your dog cannot breed or enter shows. You may kill your dog off now.(15-18 yrs)

You must have been active the whole month to age your dog.


Situation RPGs

These are pretty much role-plays you do when you have no one to role play with or prefer to role play alone. If you would like to create a situation role play then add a to the end of the topic’s name. Once posted a mod or admin will post creating some type of scenario that you can role play too. Most of the time you can win items or a dog.
