Well...Ive noticed some things over a period of time, and Its kind of bugging me so I thought I might mention it.
Ok, first of all, If you are waiting for the apps to all be read, and a winner to be announced.....saying "good luck everyone!" Is not going to give you any better chance at winning.
Yea, I know you want to show that you are a good sport, but its just like kissing up to the Giver. Yea maybe your exited, but c'mon, I know you really dont care if other people win, just yourself.
Actually I think it annoys the person giving the pet.
Second of all, It bombards the board when people are waiting saying "-crossing fingers- or 'I hope I win!!!!!'"
Ok, here is a tip to EVERYONE saying those quotes,
Keep your exitement to yourself! Yes, Its okay to be exited! We all know the feeling!Just keep it to yourself!
Saying those things arnt going to make the winner want to choose you more though.The giver isnt going to be thinking "Hm, this person seems to be really exited, maybe I will give them the pet..."
Trust me, its almost IMPOSSIBLE to butter-up a giver, ESPECIALLY when there are tons of apps.
Pet giving is decided about your app, and most of the time, your personality.
If you have a stinky app and a kiss-up personality, your not going to get picked.
Givers like calm people, with well thought out apps. They are the most deserving to apply in my opinion.
Ok, DONT USE CAPS IN YOUR APP BECAUSE IT IS AWFULLY OBNOXIOUS!
See, now wasnt that sentence annoying to read?
Another thing....
DONT USE CHATSPEAK.
Limited or no chat speak it the best way to write an app.
Chatspeak can make givers think you are un-exprienced, and like you dont really care much for thier pet.
I wouldnt want to see " Uh H3y lyke can I hav ur Chibz? I rylly wan it"...thats a sure-win way to get unconsidered.
Ok and FINALLY,
NEVER I mean NEVER use one of these words:
plz
PLEASE
pleaz
please
Ok, and DONT lie in your app....Meaning like NO "I will Love it and never trade it...I will train it and statt, and never portal it!"
And another thing, THIS IS DIRECTED TO PEOPLE THAT ARE GIVING PETS!
Dont turn the pet contests into popularity contests.
Its unfair to the people that made good apps.
It shouldnt matter who is more popular, but who is more worthy
If your gonna lie, do it good.
Not a cheesy " Oh yeah, and I will never ___"
That is the ULTIMATE no-no in app-ing.
Ok, just forget that word totally when you app.
No one wants to hear an app that sounds like its crying saying" Plz ive neva had A LE, and I would appreaciate you 4eva Plz! I would really love it and feed itt! Plz consider ME!"
So thats my rant....hope it brings some attention...
