Animal Rescue: petsPick (16/16)

ANIMAL RESCUE

petsPick



The Setup Is Your Pet!


So everyone knows uPick: a game where you send in a role and either you get it or maybe someone else does, edited, etc.

This is a little different: your pets will pick the roles! Everyone involved will pick at least one pet they've had, send a photo and hopefully a little information about them (at least their name).

1. The pet can be any animal: dog, cat, rodent, horse, etc. So long as you love it, you can use it.
2. Beloved but passed away pets are okay.
3. The pet doesn't have to be yours, so long as you love it like it is.
4. You may send in more than one pet.

My Promise To You

uPicks, encores, etc. sometimes have their design stage drag on. So here's the schedule I promise to keep (if not better):
1. When sign ups are closed, everyone will have 48 hours to send in their pets by PM.
2. After that 48 hours, I will take NO LONGER than 7 days to design a setup.
3. When the setup is done, I will immediately send out the PMs and the game will get started.

My Warning

Although I have several ideas on how I want to approach this, I have not yet set it because I want the pets to really inform the setup I make. This being said, I make
no
promises on how the game will look or what mechanics will be used other than it won't be a bastard game.

Sign Up Requirements:

1. No recent history of flaking.
2. At least one completed game on site.
3. No hydras. No exceptions.

TO SIGN UP, YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT YOUR ANIMAL IMMEDIATELY.

Did I mention my dog compulsively kills one animal during the day? I don't can't think of anyway to assign abilities to that behavior but I trust you zoraster. :lol:


that's kind of what i'm referring to here:

It's not that I'm being cagey about it or anything. Just that I kind of want to see what I have to play with before doing up the mechanic. I've been bouncing some ideas off of hito, but I won't know until I have all the animals.

@ Zoro - Can we PM our pets early?


Sure. Lots of people already have, actually. I just don't want anyone to not sign up because they don't yet have a photo on their computer or whatever.

First you said you wanted to do an imaginary animal. If you were interested in this game for the "right" reasons it'd be because you wanted to use your animal that you love in the game.

Second, you submit a fake photo to me (the photo you submitted is a stock photo I found by typing "toy poodle picture" into google) that you tried to pass off as your dog. Frankly, I do not believe you.

Third, you are signed up for 3 larges right now plus whatever other obligations you have. I was willing to see how it went, but in combination with the other things, I have little incentive for giving you a try.

This picture is my pet dog, J'Micheal Simmons.


no. You fail in exactly the same way scooby does.

scooby wrote:I was asking if I could use the imaginary pet I had when I was a kid. That was a mistake.

It's not fake. Its identical to my dog. Im uploading a pic of me with him as a proof.

I can handle more games, thanks for caring.

Just be honest and say that you dislike me.


I did not know you to dislike, but you are obviously not a good fit for this game.

Junpei wrote:Zoraster, given that there is now a game where you have your pet in the game because you love them and want them in the game, could you organize a game afterward where your family/loved ones are in a game because you love them (humans only) and want them in the game?

I feel like I'd be able to join for the "right" reasons then. I've never been discriminated because I don't own a pet before, so I'm kinda hoping you'll say yes.


But then I'd discriminate against unloved orphans.

Just an update: talked to hito today. Pretty close to being able to send out everything. Mostly just need to refine a little and then write the PMs.

That was my intention at first, but after designing things, it's looking unlikely on the whole, Quilford (absent role stuff).

Time estimate is tomorrow afternoon for game's start.
