Title: Adoption, Mate, Divorce and Food Stands: Your Opinions?
Post by: SpringLeaf on April 21, 2013, 08:27:18 pm
I personally think it's alright, but divorce centers are wrong. I am an Adoption Center myself some times, and I like the satisfaction of getting pups adopted. I came across an Ice Cream Stand... She was sure popular!

Wow, people are coming up with no end of centres and stands and all sorts.

I'm all for the adoption centre. I think that was the first "centre" to ever come about. I'd much rather see homeless pups/cubs/kits/hatchlings finding families rather than desperate people getting 'mates'.

Mate centres and divorce centres are just uncalled for. I'm sure I've said this plenty of times before but, it is so much better to meet a mate in roleplay rather than just picking some random floof from a circle like a lucky dip for so many reasons. One of them being you actually get to know your potential mate before driving into the deep end.
My view on divorce centres really should apply to real-life too - if you can't make a commitment, don't get married. In FeralHeart terms, that would be if you can't stay loyal to your mate, don't be mates! Simple as.

And Ice Cream stand? xD Wow...these ones are okay, since they're just for the lols and they don't cause any trouble.

I didn't know the food stands existed before today. ouo I heard from my sibling that there was one online earlier, but the time I went to go see it it was gone. I will have to go check them out sometime.

As for mate centers, they make me a little uncomfortable. I hung around outside one one time and it just felt magnetized, for lack of a better word, like they're trying to pull you in. That might just be me though.

Haven't had any experience with adoption or divorce centers, so I can't comment on those at the moment.

Well i think Adoption Centers are fine, i think its a good way for them to find families when they don't really want to be in a big group. Also i think the adoption center is a good idea as i would rather see a lot of adoption centers than mate centers. Although people bring up many bizarre stands like hot dog stands, burger stands, ice cream stands etc i thin they're fine and just for pure entertainment and good to meet new people.
On the other hand mate centers and divorce centers? well there's just no need, maybe if it was for role play but why would a wolf or lion get married?. I guess a divorce center would be fine if you were in a human type role play and you role played into a marriage and wanted a brake up i guess that would be fine. But i don't think mate centers should be there you don't really know who your being mates with its basically like a mix and match why not role play into the mate situation when you kinda know the person, along with divorce centers they are quite pointless in my eyes and should be discouraged on FeralHeart.
(Sorry if my post didnt make sense or if you found it kind of mean).

I agree with all of you guys.^^ But, just a while ago, I was crowded so badly by let's say pup-thirsty wolves, that I had to close the center. ,_,

Adoption Centers, Food Centers, and Divorce, or whatever- well, they're all fine.

After all, they're just mini-attractions members make for other members |3. Kind of brings us together a little, you know? Not to mention some of those centers are a great way of getting to know more people- erm, even if standing around a 'Mate Center' and looking for a random stranger isn't exactly the best place to get to know people. . . ;u;


OhandtheFoodCenters.

I just love those centers man. It'sjustso- awesome, to sit there and order food or drink. |3

I'm one of those people who can appreciate Adoption centers and food stands (I even have an adoption center char), but I can't stand the mate or divorce centers for the reason that they're so superficial and fake feeling.  You get married lottery style to someone you've never met before and then live happily ever after? I don't see how it makes sense. The only thing mate centers do for me is it lowers the number of mate beggers. Whenever I get a mate begger I say, "If you're that desperate, go to the mate center. It's full of desperate wolves/lions like you." If they keep begging, I block.

Ah, Adoption centers are amazing. Giving little helpless pups a home that someone would love and care for them. But when it comes to the trolls and the apparently the Canables come into the talk then it just turns horrible, The poor pups seeing there little adoption mates dieing before there own verry cute eyes. Yet, Once I have seen a 'Mate and Adoption Center' Thats what it was called "MandCCenter' Or something verry close to that. In my mind I was like." What the... You are turning children into mate thursty little brats mate. You chose one center and move on or not have them at all. Solved.' So, I dunno. But the thing is like I have said before. If this game was overly perfect what would be the youse of mods and Admins? What would be the point of roleplaying a full on perfect role play? We need these trolls and stuffs. Haters gotta hate so they can guide you some how.

I have no probmle with things such as adopt centers,
Mate centers are annoying and freak me out.
Divorce O.O I didn't know they made those in Fh, but I don't think that's right, not for animals.
and food stands sound fun xD

Post by: Lady_Alizarin on April 23, 2013, 09:36:01 pm
Gee... this is the first time I've ever heard of a Divorce Center. o_O Why someone would make that, I will never know. As for the Mate Centers and Adoption Centers, I don't think much of them really. They are okay as long as no rule breaking happens.
Food stands are fun. I once stood in a line infront of an "Icecream Shop" character and pretended to buy a chocolate-chip- cookie dough icecream. While I was in the line, there was a Nightcrawler (X-men) character infront of me. To derp around, I said out loud -Points at Nightcrawler- "Look everyone! It's a Na'vi!" and he looked at me like... O_O "I'm not a Na'vi. I am a mutant." XD

Mate Centers. I don't fully enjoy them, yet I don't hate them. The good things Mate Centers bring is rarely any mate beggars in Bonfire Island (Since BI is the place where you would most likely find them). The only time there are mate beggars in bonfire if a wolf/lion likes a character that is not in the Mate Center, or there is no Mate center at all. The bad things that come with it is: Lag, Faster Chats, and More Lag! Mate centers cause extreme lag. Mate centers in a (negative) nutshell is: The bigger, the more lag. Also, by always posting in caps, the chat goes by fast and more people have to make a group so they can see their own posts.color]
Adoption Centers. Personally my favorite, sense people take time to make these to give baby animals a foster home until an adult adopts them. The good things that come with it is: Babies get a home, unadopted ones get advertised for in general. I love adoption centers. The only bad things that come with it is possible lag and the parents could ditch the pup/cub if it is not what they wanted. If you were a parent and you adopted a child, would you ditch it 10 minutes later because it was not what you expected? Some people might not hesitate to. But the lag part is similar to the Mate Center; the bigger the more lag.
Divorce Centers. I have encountered about 3 of these. I hate them. If you think you are not ready or responsible enough for a mate and possible babies, don't get on! Don't waste your time rp loving with him/her then somehow get into a fight and go to the Divorce where you could wait FOREVER just for your turn! Plus Divorces don't happen as quick as a post. You first will have to go to court, decide who the pup/cub(s) will grow up with, and then they will have to find new places to live away from the other mate, but also make sure the pup/cub(s) gets to see the other mate a bit, so they don't forget him/her.
Food Stands. I have not encountered many of these, but it sounds like fun! I remember a friend telling me about a food stand and getting all the food there for like twenty thousand dollars. XD

Some role plays have ''weddings'' so I guess there is a small demand for divorce centres. I don't mind them but I probably haven't been around them enough times to see what's annoying. But I dislike the trolls they attract.

Post by: Reanaw on June 06, 2013, 05:57:41 pm
I have never heard of divorce centers or food stands o_O

About mate centers, I hate them. There are just lots and lots of desperate people looking for "mates" that last few hours (I guess usually less time) and then in the next day to look for a new mate. "I NEED A MATE", "IM PREGNANT SOMEBODY BE MY PUP" etc.. Sheesh. I don't get it.

Adoption centers? Well, I've been in many adoption centers as pup and it has been nice. Usually it takes a long time to find a family, but while I'm waiting sometimes I meet new friends to play with and sometimes parents take us both :D

ANYYYYYYYWAY. Mate Centers are terrible now. Always neon.

I was one a lot, man did those kids beg to go in. Kids now a days /drinksunkist10

Adoption Centers, the neon bothers me but there is always emo pups and fight pups and- WHY. JUST, WHY. EXPLAIN, 8 YEAR OLDS!!!

Divorce Centers, I had no idea what they do. I saw one before, but no idea what they done.

Food Stands - I was one once, XD.

okay, ik from wat i have read that u  guys (and i mean most of u guys not all) r nots fans of the Mate Centers, now i admit, it CAN be a little lottery style, but i have aMC char and i use her more often that no because its kinda fun!! me and my friends have fun wondering who will get a mate first, as for divorce centers, never heard of them and have not seen one in Bonfire or anywhere. the Food stands, okay thy R funny as long as they dony derp my RP. although stuff like gangem style center derp center and harlem shake center r just troll magnets, because some people dont like MC and try to derp it as much as possible. and although  adoption centers r great, be careful on which pu u choose because i adopted one and i went to MC for a mate for alittle family wolf Pack RP and he totally derped it there, and DONt get me started on the blue dog army who just trolled everyone. sorry for the long post :)

now im not defending MC's because okay, they can be over the top caps and neon, now dont quote me on this, i admit that some mate center r pretty bad ones, but they also kinda keep the mate beggars in chack if u know wat i mean,they do NOT cause lag! i wosh people would stop telling me to leave automatically just because im there. because its not nice to tell some one they cause all the lag and them alone, because hey,the chat does notgo up to fast in fact, the MC says very little only encouragement and like, have a good life together and such. now ik that if to many people r at BFI tht it CAN  get laggy but  dont just blame the most colorful person because thats wat the pup i adopted said, that all Mc's r bad, plus he swore like the worlds was ending but thats not the point, the point is, be careful who u blme. Thank You for your time. :D

You guys keep hating on the neon colors of the centers and calling them 8-year-olds... I'm 19 and I have a neon colored adoption center character. They aren't neon for no reason. They do that so they stand out and are easy to spot in a crowd of normal-looking characters. Simple as that. (Or it's at least why I do it. I hate having non-realistic characters.)

I still don't like the mate centers, but I have to admit that Brenda has a point. They do keep the number of mate beggers down. There tend to be very few of them running around when the mate center is in full swing.

I'm not sure if people are meant to take the mate centres so seriously. No way would you pick up a mate and expect to just click and be happy forever. I'm pretty sure you just grab the first mate you can get then go make a pack for an RP. Since this is just a game it doesn't need to be taken so seriously.

I haven't ever seen a divorce centre but I guess they are more a joke. I don't get why people are saying it takes more then just a second to divorce someone because it takes longer to adopt a child. Also we are meant to be animals, why are we going to go to court?!

I've not ever seen a food stand either, lolwut are they?
Title: Re: Adoption, Mate, Divorce and Food Stands: Your Opinions?
Post by: Tearless on June 11, 2013, 07:45:57 pm
I'm all for adoption centers; it's going to be a lot harder to organically find a cub/pup/foal/grub through RP than a mate (though it happened to me, so... I'unno). And food stands are just fun; no reason not to like those. Mate centers seem... like they're missing the point of RPing and having a mate at all. But if you REALLY NEED to RP with a mate right this minute for some reason, I guess do whatever floats your boat. This is coming from someone who's not into the whole mate thing in any context, so I may not be the right person to judge that.

Divorce centers, though? I didn't even know that was a thing, and now the world seems a slightly more dismal place. WHY, in the name of sanity, would anyone ever need one of those? Your FeralHeart character isn't actually you and there's no legally binding contract; if you don't want your character to have a mate anymore, tell your RP partner that you don't want to continue the RP! If you actually feel the need to have your character get a divorce to break it off, you are getting WAY too invested. Unless said divorce is a plot point in a long-term RP or something, but in that case a divorce center probably still isn't necessary.

Honestly I have no problem with adoption centers being that's it's a nice way to get a rp going. When it comes to mate centers I'm kinda on the fence. On a positive note it helps to keep mate beggars away but from what I've seen all you do is pick somebody based on their looks alone. You don't really get to know them. Now on divorce centers I honestly don't like the idea of them in any way.

Everything has pros and cons. Adoption centers: Pro: Helps people find parents. Cons: Attracts pup killers.  Mate centers: Pro: Keeps beggars at bay. Con: Lag. Divorce centers: Pro: Helps people get out of relationships. Con: It causes pointless drama. Food stands: Pros: Best idea ever. Cons: Chat spam as people all group up and ask for food at once.

I also once saw an Abortion Center in Bonfire. Now that, I found that to have more Cons than Pros.

I've been a food stand before ^^ We just danced around with some neons. It was maybe one of the first things I did after getting Feralheart because someone had made Taco Center... :P Well....

(http://i41BannedImageSite/f4k1mb.png)

I'm Pizza Center XD

I've seen lot's of centers:

Mate Center (obviously)
Adoption Center
Divorce Center
Fight Center
Mcdonalds center (does that count? XD)
Pizza Center
Taco Center
Ice Cream Center
Beauty Center
MLP Center
Dance Center (I made one)

... yeah...

I don't hate Mate Centers, but that doesn't mean I like 'em. My biggest problem is you don't even know them at all or their literacy level, and you're just judging based on their looks!
Adoption Centers: I'm totally fine with them, unless there's pup-killers around T.T
Divorce Centers: ...

I'm pretty ok with most centers or groups. If I don't like them  just ignore or don't bother. I will admit to lingering around Adoption and Mate Centers frequently though. Adoption Centers for a few of my younger characters or characters needing someone to roleplay offspring.

Mate Centers.. they just amuse me to no end. I lurk or even join in and laugh inwardly at alot of the people. I know it sounds horrible, but you have no idea how entertaining it can be. My inner troll compels me too. They're such easy targets. I'm not the type that actually dances annoying in the middle or in front of people. But I participate, get a mate then find absurd ways to get rid of or traumatize them. o^o Like by having my friend get on a dinosaur character and eating me for example.

I made a MateCenter once as Batman and Eridan. Good times... good times.

I actually used Adoption Centers a few times. I think It's mostly for an afk player not wanting to get logged out or something because most AC's are afk.The only time AC's annoy me if when trolls or pup-killers are there. ;3; Those pups watching their brothers and sisters getting ripped around right infront of their tiny eyes... As for MC's and DC's I despise both. I would rather deal with Mate-Beggers. DC's aren't needed and never were unless they are in a human rp, but I seriously doubt that. I loved food centers because they are just for the luls and don't do any harm. If you notice I'm saying loveD and useD, it's because my account decided to crash my FH. I'm not a troll but the Food Centers are still fun to sit around on a themed char like The Phantom OTO who's suppose to be serious, and just goof around...heh. ~Erik

Adoption Centers don't particularly bother me. I've only seen a few during my time playing Feralheart, and they seem pretty harmless. It does cause minor lag because of the amount of pups and other wolves there, but bearable. The only thing I despise is how the pups react whenever they get adopted, or when they don't. I've seen one shout with Caps over how angry they've gotten when they attempted to talk with another user who simply walked away from the center. If used in a correct manner, this also brings floofs together, to socialize.

Mate centers amuse me greatly. Out of boredom, I come to watch how it all plays out. I mean, you get users to sit around in a circle, calling them up to the middle and wait until someone goes in after him / her. Amazing how it all works, or even works out. There's always a session that contains that one person... by that, I mean there will always be this sparkle dog or feline that is like the life and energy of the session. Haha. ~ Anywho, I don't mind them much, though it will get annoying soon enough... It also causes minor lag, depending on how many show up. I don't like participating in mate centers mainly because I would love to get to know a floof before asking them, or them asking me to be his / her mate. Become great friends first for the full effect. c;

Divorce centers... Never came across one, but I could tell by the term "divorce" that things may be a bit different. There's always those players who over exaggerate their break-ups with a mate, that "the world is going to end now, chaos soon breaching the lands, fire spreading all over the place, the trees toppling down and crushing everyone, bringing Earth to run low on oxygen as a meteor comes hurtling towards the lands, hitting the ocean which causes both an earthquake and tsunami, drowning everybody but me because I'm special and deserve to live unlike my good-for-nothing mate." The heck?! Oh, but there are also those who think nothing of it, calm and endearing. "There are plenty of fish in the ocean.", that there is. I'm off topic... I wouldn't mind divorce centers mainly because its just splitting up a couple because they want to, or because one can't stand the other. No harm done exactly, unless the fae or brute gets offended.

Foodstands? Oh joy. I came across a Doughnut stand once. Very popular. Erryone's asking for glazed doughnuts, or weird types such as a blue frosted, dirt and grape sprinkled doughnut. I typically think Foodstands are quite fun and enjoyable for those who are bored. Adds a bit of "colour" to the game, variety rather. Haha, whoever came up with these are somewhat amazing... -noms glazed doughnut-

I once trolled a mate center. My friend wolveseatpie ((Katche on the forum)) and I were both online as our characters that are supposed to be related as brother and sister. Mine was a red wolf with everything left the same like under fur, mane, tail tip. Katche's was blue with the normal colored under fur, mane, tail tip. So I whispered him and was like "Let's go troll a mate center." And he said "how?" And I replied "Just follow my lead." So we sat down in the mate center and the center called me and so Katche walked into the circle's middle. And the center was like "pick or pass?" And I said "Pass. Cause Wolveseatpie' s charrie is related to mine" and we walked away laughing then we got off. But my opinion about Mate centers: GO FIND A MATE THROUGH RP YOU LAZY DESPERATE PEOPLE! My opinion on Adoption centers: I used one alot the first time I didn't know how the worked so I kept saying "can I be in the adoption center???" Over and over cause I didn't get a reply. But Adoption centers can bring in pup killers...

Divorce Centers? That's a new one. But in my opinion, that's just plain wrong. Feral Heart supports making friends and having fun, not marring someone and then getting a divorce. :P

I have seen food stands, almost all the time, actually. I can deal with them as long as they don't span the chat. I have actually been to a food stand before.... *Stuffs face with fries, Omm nom nom nom nom nom*

Mate Centers..? I don't have a lot to say about them.... They don't really bother me.

I actually like Adoption Centers. The ones I have met never spammed the chat and don't sit in the middle of the map, especially Bonfire Island.

Alrighty then,
For adoption, mate, and food centers, I really don't mind them too much. In a way, I simply believe its just for both the public and personal amusement. Yes, sometimes I would get the thought of one or two centers being a bit silly, however, I always take into the other person's perspective. Why should I slander someone else's fun, I suppose. In my opinion, I would feel obtaining a mate or parent to happen naturally through role-playing or simply talking out-of-character, it seems to be more meaningful.

But a divorce center? Now, this, I will be blunt about...
That is a stupid idea.

I find the idea of a Beauty Center as wrong, shouldn't your character be made by you, and not influenced by some random floof? There's no such thing as an ugly character, and that one Center's opinion of 'beauty' may be entirely different from someone else.

Mate Centers have become normal to me, even though as annoying as they can be. I spend most of my time in Flourite, though when I do come to Bonfire, 9/10 times there will be a MC up and running. The only problem I have with them is the extreme lag they give off, though horses and TLK characters contribute to that as well. On the bright side, they reduce the amount of mate begging ^^

Food stands are hilarious in my opinion :D I once tried to rob a McDonalds of its Fish McBites...until the husky in line behind me put me in jail XD (What made it funnier is that I was a Peregrine Falcon at the time) I myself have made a Taco Center, which eventually joined a food stand group and fell in love with the Subway stand.

Just a short summary of some stands/centers I've seen;

    • Mate Center
    • Adoption Center
    • Cookie Center
    • Dairy Queen
    • McDonald's
    • Fight Center
    • Beauty Center
    • Taco Bell
    • Subway
    • Duck Commander
    • Target
    • Walmart
    • PetSmart
    • Pizza Hut
    • GameStop
    • Victoria's Secret
    Most of the ones listed towards the bottom were from my Shop group x3

    Adoption Centers are Fine I guess...but there are way to many pointless stands and such...Mate Center, why be mates with some random person you just met? I mean they could be total jerks or something, and then later you decide you don't want to be their mate, and it's kinda hard to tell them. Then Divorce Centers...Is that -REALLY- necessary? And Offencsive Center...Don't even get me started...

    I don't like mate centers and divorce centers. I saw an ice-cream shop in the South Pole, however! :) I went there and got a sundae. xDD Back on topic, I think that mate centers are just... disgusting. To me, however. The only time I go there is to see desperate people do anything to get mates. x-x In fact, I feel like doing it right now. Divorce centers... now that's a different story. :( You cannot simply DIVORCE a mate... right? There'd have to be a battle, anyways... but divorce's always been a sore topic for me (parents...). Honestly, if you'd go to a mate center and then a divorce center, why not just get to know some wolf/cat/lion/etc. through actual roleplay, so you can understand/grip their character's personality and what they feel, how they react, etc. and not just pick out someone random to be your character's mate... if anything, getting to know a character BEFORE you become "mates" is the best way to actually GET a "mate". Get what I'm saying?
