No actually, you could have gone like "OOPS YOU CAN'T BID ANYMORE". You'd have to apologize for it because you made a mistake, but that is absolutely something you could have done. Just say you wanted the potatoes bro there's no way i believe you thought it wouldn't go above 2.7 mil when it's a custom that hasn't been on the tm for a long time and everyone talks about how they want it because they're the only large true black wings on site. You're no different from any other greedy custom owner on site and that's nothing new

Yah, I already admitted that fnasjkfnasjkfa

And yah, I did genuinely expect 3-4m, since all the other auctions were around there. Maybe 5-6 because of inflation.

And ok, that's completely fair @ mod.

[salt-volk]

not lethallulu saying they just wanted to buy this month's chest if that were the case you could have either put a cap on the auction or put it in the tradelots for a chest, we aren't stupid.

Ok I was super drunk when I posted that

but like

Hind-sight is 20-20, I can't exactly be like OOPS NO YOU CANT BID ANYMORE!

but also...now I'm good for like 5 more chests, so I mean...I'm not gonna fight that....

And yah, I only play this game for like...capitalism simulator. Did the same thing on gaia online. I don't really hide it. I just sometimes say dumb things lol. The system is super flawed and I definitely lean into it a bit, especially with this recent custom. I wouldn't even complain if dv made black wings. Shit is basic as fuck lol, but they're rad. But let's be real, dv will just keep making spaghetti hair :y

Also wait why isn't my username censored? xDD

(I'm cool with it not, just happened to notice it)

I can’t believe that wicked wing auction is now sitting at 7 mil holy smokes, the rich players really are loaded in this game

[lethallulu]

I DIDNT EXPECT IT EITHER

I JUST WANTED TO BUY THIS MONTHS CHEST AAAAAAAAAAAA

if anji agrees to draw and release a pet that's just a flight rising dragon I'm going to quit the site lol. like that would genuinely be the last straw for me

[lethallulu]

ok....I know I keep replying to this and making a jumble of things, but after going through my thread, yah it does really sound like that.  Maybe that was my intention, I have no fucking idea at this point.  Either way - I’ve edited my thread, and now I’m also looking for any kind of dragon drawing (not just dv style) so that I can hopefully work with someone to get a perfect reference.  (Also I’m still digging for more dragon references, so the thread might still be a WIP)

[lethallulu]

I’m genuinely confused, am I just not allowed to have a dragon?  The whole point of me buying mockups is so that I’m NOT recreating something straight from FR and I have a cohesive reference for anji.  FR just happens to have the closest thing to what I want, and makes it easy to showcase colors and ideas.  I think my thread is being interpreted to the extreme - is there something I can change to make it more clear what my intentions are?  And I can’t exactly do anything about getting my ticket answered faster.

[lethallulu]

Ok...I’m going to try and rewrite my thread.  I tend to be REALLY bad with words, so I’ll give it a second look.

z3lda asking for someone to draw a custom pet mockup of.. a flight rising dragon??? anji may be dumb but i doubt shes dumb enough to accept a pet from another petsite what on earth are you thinking?? forum/topic/51397

.

[lethallulu]

Yah, I sent in a ticket.  And I tried that already with my reaper custom, and it came with a few mistakes as she referenced the wrong image for the wrong thing.  This is why I’m looking for mockups...so it’s not just a complete FR redraw.

List of custom owners with 'don't give them to anyone I have blocked' rules: Vio, Poppy, Zelda, Nature (but they include the word 'knowingly' - making it unlikely they would DM anyone a list of names to avoid). There are others that ban reselling, but they ban *all* reselling, not just to blocked users. So either one of the users above is the culprit, or op lied

.

[lethallulu]

For the record, I only blocked two people that have me blocked lol. I only did recently, too, so yah. I'm not a fan of blocking personally, but I understand it's pretty important to have on a forum based site.

since hells dress has a cross on it does that mean jesus exists in dv? because zodiacs arent allowed in dv, but religion can? dappervolk bible real?

.

[lethallulu]

to me, it looks more like a plus sign

[volkconfessions]

I actually feel sorry for Quis. They seem to be the only admin even slightly active on the site anymore. Where is God? Nyala? Any of the coders? Not on DV, that’s for sure.

[lethallulu]

we went over this, god has forsaken us

[volkconfessions]

What does scalper mean in a DV context (since there aren't limited items in a shop like buying tickets or a PS5)? Buying up the cheapest priced items and then reselling them higher to hike up prices?

.

[lethallulu]

There are limited items in Nico's shop. It's exactly like the ps5 thing.

[volkconfessions]

I come from Flight Rising and have always found it completely normal and non-controversial to price things 1 treasure/potato below the previous listed item. but apparently people on DV get their panties in a huge twist about it. Reading that 'Trade Etiquette' thread is wild, apparently it's a scummy thing to do on DV.

.

[lethallulu]

It was very much the culture on gaia back in the day (it might have changed, I haven't been active in forever). It's just ingrained *shrug*.

I mentioned that in my post.
