Flyingdaaka is thankful for cut and paste.
Dahghee, luckily, your point of view is pretty much similar to many in here. Curiously, as you point out, there are a few who are really lost in the fog. They have no problem with Snozberry Float / Kingsport and are actually rooting and voting the horse in.
Don't let these select confused few take away your enjoyment from the game. Keep the VIP. Keep playing. Posting as you are is helping The Great Game. It truly is.
Dahghee, to be honest, you are on the same level of many of the best trainers in the game. Your only weakness is your lack of patience. You don't hold on to your best horses. Flyingdaaka believes your only weakness is your unwillingness to work with borderline star horses and seeming only to be interested in having another Lord Outstanding. That doesn't make you a bad trainer. Or a bad person.
The game has many great trainers and role models. No doubt about it. It has the best of a lot. It has realistic graphics and has the uncanny ability to make one feel as though they really are a trainer at a race track.
If this were a real track, rest assured, some of these people would need 24 hour armed security at their barn. They would also need to take out restraining orders from rule-abiding, non-gaming trainers like Flyingdaaka. They would need the help of God to prevent them from getting themselves shredded like a head of lettuce by a certain particular rule-abiding Jacked trainer. But this isn't that. The best people can do is voice their objections in the forum.
Im very new here and hold no weight in my opinion. But this is a great game. When I get back to canada I am going full force. Even in you buy $100 worth of points a month which is loosely what I plan on doing, compared to other hobbies that is nothing!!!!! I spent $100 on one game of golf!!! i hope you just take a break on vip (which I have been forced to do cuz I dont have a valid cc right now and have been travelling for 6 months) and come back soon!!!! How could you not?! Anyway im rambling cuz I had a few drinks but you have skills and im sure you will be missed. I need good trainers here to aim at in my newness too and newbies like me look up to you guys!
I'll be taking a break here. I admire your enthusiasm. In the meantime, before you head into this full force, take some time to familiarize yourself with the game. Check out the help files. You're already familiar with the forums. Ask questions. There are plenty of people here willing to help you. Send me a private message. If I can help you, I will. If I can't, we'll find someone who will. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for the reply. The e-mail to cancel my VIP suscription was sent yesterday.
First of all, let me clear one thing up. I'm not blaming the game on my limited success. I've enjoyed the game. I've enjoyed the game for over 2 years. I've enjoyed interacting with other community members. I've invested time and money in the game. I was not forced in any way to play the game as I chose to play it. I've loved playing it. That's why I'm here!
It's strange. I'm a pretty patient guy, but I place high standards on myself and other individuals, which is probably unfair. In game play, I will agree, I have lacked patience, but it hasn't stopped me from playing the game.
I've been working on being more patient with my game play. I started breeding PN and FN horses. Making it a little more costly for me to "chuck" a horse if it wasn't performing well in it's first tournament as a 2 year old. In February, of this year, I downsized the stable. It's been fluctuating between 20 and 40 horses. Much easier for me to handle in my limited time to play the game. Most of any free time I have now, is to play this game.
I've asked a couple of our fellow community members if they would help me out if I felt I ever needed it. I was never turned down. Daaks, if you recall, you were one of those people back when you claimed Miss Kitty. You said you'd be glad to help.
I'm starting to ramble, and my reply here has Vasdef potential. I place having a shed horse as the ultimate achievement in this game. Several trainers have achieved this goal. I applaud them for it and how they managed their horses to get them to the promised land. Some people may say I'm jealous. That's not the case at all. I think I've wished only the best for my fellow players.
That one thread and that one action has me on the brink. Maybe I just need to take a break.
