My Cybunny: Lost in a Transfer
Sun Sep 05, 2004 11:33 am
Well, it happened. Yes, I just lost a pet in a transfer. In particular, a Yellow Cybunny named Remy_Buxaplenty. It was around 12:00 at night EST. I had two browsers open. I put him in the pound, and immediately searched for him. There he was, unadopted, to my relief. I swiftly clicked on him. There were the words every pet transferrer dreads:
"Terribly sorry, this pet already has an owner and is very happy"
Panic rushed through me, but I calmed myself down enough to search for him. It appeared he had been adopted by someone named sunshinecake. I sent them a Neomail, calmly explaining my situation, and asking nicely if they would consider putting him back in the pound, and that I was sorry for any inconvenience. I didn't hear back from them. After a while, I sent them another Neomail. Nothing.
Before I explain the next part, let me tell you that I had prepared myself for something like this long before I had put Remy in the pound. I had a notice in his pet lookup that he was currently in a transfer, and if someone would accidentally adopt him, to Neomail me. Also, on his petpage was, at the bottom, in big bold red letters, "THIS PET BELONGS TO IAMMARTINREDWALL!" (which is an account I had made in a haste on Cybunny Day two years ago, when I adopted him and three others [one is currently a Purple Poogle though]).
Well, I checked Remy's lookup and petpage. The person must have been smart; they had deleted everything I had wrote that would tie him to me.
But I had made screenshots of him in Quick Ref, the note on his petpage, and his lookup. I have put them on my other Cybunny's petpage http://www.neopets.com/~Timmy___Turner and have Neomailed this person with that fact.
I know they are under no obligation to return him to me, but it still makes me very angry that someone would act so rude when I was kindly asking if they would give him back. They could at least reply, even if they aren't planning to help me. I mean, it's not as if I was saying something like,
"Oh my gosh! You liek stol muh pet! Giv him bak or else!"

I'm really sorry you lost your pet I've lost nice pets too in transfers, and know how awful it is.
Your screenshots won't load for me..
But anyway, I thought that petpage etc. codes were deleted when they were put in the pound? Correct me if I'm wrong someone.
Also, the person that got him is a newbie, and maybe couldn't neomail you back - Isn't there is a minimum something-hour wait before you're allowed to neomail from a new account? Maybe you should give them your email addy so they can contact you there or something.
Another possibility - they might not be on. Try tommorow?
In all honesty though, the person got it fair and square, so you can't really expect them to give it back. I hope they do though

Well, it clearly seems that he or (more likely)she has does not intend to return you the pet, so it would be useless neomailing her. However, I do agree that she should at least reply you saying no.

Slightly off-topicly - what's Remy Buxaplenty anyway?

First off I'm sorry, this is so sad.
Secondly I noticed that the person who adopted it is from China. He or she may not understand what you mean. They're also a newbie. Just a thought. But still I'm sorry.

He's a charecter in Fairly Odd Parents. He has a faerie godparent, and challenges Timmy Turner to a magical duel, and the loser loses their god parents.
It's a real shame you lost your pet, I know what it feels like with my Jelly Kacheek and Plushie Zafara, it's a real shame...
However, I believe topic belongs in the Gloat and Cry sticky. After all, you are commenting on something bad that happened
