Nodopt November! | by Emmer
Could you go a whole month without adopting, buying, or trading ANY new petz? That is the challenge set forth in DG's Nodopt November this month. ![]() So what is the idea behind Nodopt November? It's a time to pause adopting, buying, and trading and take the time to really appreciate the petz you already have. Go digging in folders and find petz who have been long forgotten, work on that crew site you said you'd do "someday," maybe do a little brexing up of a few petz you weren't sure you wanted to keep, learn a new skill, or take some show pictures. The rules are pretty simple - if it involves adding a pet to YOUR crew, it's a no-no. Well, there are a few other rules and exceptions, but you can read all about over at Duke's Group (https://dj7.proboards.com/thread/9003/dopt-november). Pustek - My favorite Petz 5 Dog! | by Mimitina ![]() I loved him so much and every year on May 16th I remembered to celebrate his birthday by feeding him, stroking, and playing with him. Later, I also adopted Pustusia "Emptie", with whom Pustek had children ❤ Once, when I went to the town of Zakopane, at one of the stands on Krupówki street I saw a dog-shaped pillow and it looked exactly like my Pustek! I had to have this pillow so I bought it. I still have it to this day and I will never throw it away. Even though it's been 12 years, I love Pustek just as much as I used to. |

Community Poll ![]() On the slightly higher end was [downloadable] game content and a bit on the lower end, was receiving content external to the game, like stamps/art etc, but even then, 45% of respondents still want those things! So basically create activities for the old petz and bring on all the prizes! ;) A Community of Festivity and Creativity | by Audaxity
Quick, pick an adjective, any adjective, to describe the PC. Which one first crosses your mind? Personally? I think I'd go with "festive." ![]() Take, for example, the community wide Easter event earlier this year. Since rejoining the PC after a haitus, it was the first major event I participated in. With spreadsheets in tow to record what we found, the hunt sent participants across PC sites in search of eggs and clues, unlocking all kinds of rewards at the end. From bred litters and hexies, to clothes and toys, there was something for everyone to enjoy. |
|
![]() In more recent memory, Duke's Group brought that creativity and individuality to the forefront again for its Fall Festival. Users set up threads to act as their festival booths, and soon raffles, minigames, and beautiful graphics were cropping up all over the place. ![]() But it didn't end there - there were additional activites on Whiskerwick to join in on for Halloween and if you had a chance to participate in the Whiskerwick Frankenstein Hexing Collab - you got to see the community come together to create some fun and creative Halloween "monstrosities"! This community certainly never has a shortage of fun, exciting, and creative things going on! (continued on next page...) |

Those already missing the hubbub of the event aren't completely out of luck, however, with the winter holidays right around the corner. Advent donations have already gone live at both Duke's Group and Whiskerwick, for both those who want to whip up some donations and those who aren't sure they can supply anything, but are eagerly waiting to see what everyone has come up with this year!
Though be mindful, donors: the deadline for Whiskerwick's donations is Nov 30th, though donations are open until the start of the calender at Duke's Group (Dec 13)! Make sure to get your litters and items in before time slips away, and to read the rules thoroughly beforehand!![]() Personally, when it comes to Petz events, this year has been full of firsts for me. First Easter event, first Fall Festival, and soon, first Advents and Secret Santas. Throughout it all, I've felt a great amount of joy participating and being part of the community, and I hope I'm not the only one who feels brought together by it all. It reaffirms the strength of the PC, and one of the reasons I've stuck with this silly old game for so many years, and why I hope to stick around for many more to come. Thanks for being awesome, Petz Community - and let's make the events from here on out, the best yet! Do you know Tato? | by Dew
Hello! My name is Dew, and today I'm here to introduce my friend...TATO. Tato is a suprise baby who happened when... a few extra files were left in. His mother is named Calypso and she was sure shocked to discover her sparkly fancy pattern was shared with him. He is delightfully shaped and extremely opinionated about great things in the state of the world such as the level of spiciness on chicken wings, appropriate fluff count in dog beds, and whether or not cats can make good best friends (spoiler: he is dying to have a cat best friend but sadly, they aren't fans of him). |
|
So Tato, can you tell me a little about yourself?![]() Oh...ok. How about your favorite things in the petz game where you live? "I like cheese. Lots of cheese. And my pillow. And I would like to have a pet someday." Oh really Tato? What kind of pet? "The kind that snuggles." Oh...got it. What do you like to do for fun Tato? "Comment on the state of the world. And dress up as a sea captain." I see. Well, that sounds like a hobby that is interesting at least. Can you give me some examples of your opinions lately? "I think vegetarian dog food should be banned. Eat moar chicken." Tato you don't have to eat it though. "BAN IT" Got it. Well, just one last question if you don't mind. What would you say the secret to a happy petz life is? "Be the first one out the petz door. Every. Single. Time. The game opens. Then the owner will see you so much you become a game fixture. THEN EAT ALL THE FOOD SO THAT OTHER PETZ DON'T WANT TO COME OUT. THEN HIDE ALL THE TOYZ. THEN..." Ok Tato I think that's enough for now. It's starting to sound like an evil plot at this point... So that, ladies and gents, is my friend Tato. Who is definitely a fixture in my game. Who is your game "fixture?" |
