Is it just me...

[Loves Disney]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that this whole cat and dog thing on vmk is a little weird.

 

[Tinkerbelle739]

It really stinks!!!

I meow all the time on VMK, but I am no one's CAT!!!!!

 

[tinkattitude!]

I know something has to be done about these weird things
- music starts to play and I start singing -
Something has to be done about our Kingdom
people are walking around being in groups,
like Vampires, Cats and Dogs,
I think that something needs to be done about our Kingdom
that we should stand together to make our kingdom safer
from the people that scam, the people who get girlfriends or boyfriends
i think that we need to do something about out kingdommmmmmmmmmmmm
- music shuts off I stop singing and the room is light again -

While I certainly do not approve of scammers, is there anything really wrong with vampires and cats and dogs? After all, the idea is to encourage the imagination. Didn't anyone else play "pretend" when they were little? I remember a lovely summer evening when the "big" children (older brothers and sisters) decided to play with the young ones and we pretended the most amazing zoo: lions and tigers and bears, oh my, and even a dragon and a unicorn. The post parade ground and it's reviewing stand served as the main "office" and a few bits of a croquet set and badminton set made some very nice enclosures for the rare beasties.

VMK provides a fairly safe place for the young ones to pretend all sorts of things. The other day I was getting my daily credits and a little guest went up to the dragon and proceeded to have quite a conversation with her. Maleficent, haughty soul that she is, did not reply but the guest seemed to be having a lovely time even so.

I know that many here are parents and concerned about their own youngsters but we have enough "spoon fed" structured entertainment in this society of ours as it is. Let them have some fun and play out some of these funny ideas where they don't run the risk of being hit by a car or worse. It is no different, really, than an adult running to the Small World shop to get that tiara that just came out in order to clothe her own character in the finery of a princess.

Woot for you, bevgray! I agree.

After all, the idea is to encourage the imagination.

I have a dog kind of as a joke. Darksidemoon is my dog.

I didn't mean to say that kids should not have imagination. God no! I am all for imagination, what I meant was that half of these ppl are not even kids and they proceed in ONLY saying bark or meow. I understand that they are having fun but there comes a point where (on a virtual game) some people cross the line. I am not saying that ALL the ppl in vmk who are cats and dogs are werid. Only those who have crossed the line into going too far with it in the sense they yell at you for not feeding them and yell at you for not playing with them. And I mean yell!!

 

[ScroogesNephew]

. . . it's hilarious. What are we talking about?

 

[BestOfMe]

I go around vmk saying Ruff Ruff but I am not a dog...Just a little crazy sometimes

 

[GBShorts]

Shiregirl is my chicken and I'm her duck. What of it?

Seriously, we joke about it more than anything. I don't get the whole wanting to be someone else's posession thing.

This is screaming future Furries...yiffing... *shudder* let's not go further.

 

[Loves Disney]

omg, now I feel like the bad one lol. I never meant that people should not go around barking and such! I just don't like it when they being to Yell at me! lol
I have had people come up to me and start giving me orders to "sit" and then they follow it by "good girl." I don't mind that as much because they are only having fun with it, but then they proceed in yelling at me when I do not do as they ask. One girl, who I had never seen on vmk before, wanted to send me to "court" because I did was not followoing her orders. I wasn't even a "cat or dog" of hers.

That is all I meant when I say it was weird. Please don't think that I would be against the imagination or agianst having fun with it. I only don't like it when the people get as far with it as that kid I described before took it.

 

[ScroogesNephew]

. . . cyberjunk, how can you possibly take it personally? They're barking at, and giving orders to, your imaginary character (alter ego?), not to YOU. Get a grip.

 

[NJ Mike]

I agree with scrooge. No worries.

Oh and heres some boogies for you scrooge, well...not for you... for your virtual character, since they are virtual boogies. Unless of course, you ever drive through NJ, then i can give you the real deal if you like. j/k

 

[Loves Disney]

I never took it personally LOL!! I was only trying to clearify my point. lol I was only saying that things like that are what I think are "weird". Anyone can take the word weird with any definition they want. To me, weird isn't a very bad thing. But of course I never take anything from online seriously LOL.

 

[wdeversole]

To me, weird isn't a very bad thing.

Well, I always used to think a cousin of mine who spent lots of time playing dungeons and dragons was weird.

Then along came VMK - and now look at me.



Would anyone be willing to be my goldfish ....

 

[Loves Disney]

LOL! But VMK is so much more cool ROFL!

 

[JeanJoe]

Would anyone be willing to be my goldfish ....

Well, since I spend much of my VMK time in a fishbowl already, I guess I'll be your part-time fish.

Ummm, what noise does your goldfish make?

 

[tinkattitude!]

I seem to have to say in this i'm sorry i just really don't think that people saying bark and ruff and meow and not saying anything else is just really bad
then on the other hand I just don't like the vampire thing please don't send an angry mob after me please. - cowers in fear -

 

[goriked]

My dog ate my mickey bar!

 

[Belle1997]

One of my mules is called PrincesRuff. But she is no dog! The reason for the name. Is my real name is Ruth and little kids always say Ruff cause they have trouble saying th.
So PrincessRuff it is. As for Cats and Dogs well if you want to be a female dog well who Am I to stop you. Seriously, I just stay very far away from these people. VMK is a chance for me to be a kid again. To relive all my stupid childish mistakes again. Oh ya and all the fun times to. And if I did not have enough of those good times I need to to play more and make more good memories to compensate for my lack.
