Click-Mania!

Hello All!

Chances are that if you are an internet junkie like me, you have joined a site that features what are called clickable pets. I have joined enough of these and they really are a lot of fun. Why do I like them? Beats me!

A clickable pet is a cyber pet that needs other people to see it and click it for it to grow into whatever creature it will. There are several I could name right off the bat (because I joined them all) which offer a variety in pets. The pets vary of course in breed, race, colour, type etc. It's really up to the site owners.

It starts with the egg. You can get these eggs from the site's "areas" or from the "abandoned" page (apparently every site has an abandoned page). The areas are where brand new eggs can be gotten for breeding. The abandoned page is where the eggs of the more heartless or greedy people go. The heartless exchange their eggs for better ones and leave the others to die. The greedy can't take care of more than a certain number of eggs so if you breed your creatures and an egg is produced, it will go straight to the "abandoned" area. (I've been a bit of both, I'll admit.)

Now, I have asked myself time and again what is so good about "growing" a number of pets from children to adults, keeping them on your page, getting another batch and beginning the process all over again. I honestly couldn't tell you what the big deal is, but it's pretty addictive.

The fun part comes in trading your pets. Other users who view your pets may notice one or two that suit their fancy. You can come to an agreement about which pets are valuable and can be traded with you or not. You can either trade one of your own for another or for money (which, let's face it, makes it all the more worth while) although this is in cyber money.

The forums also bring a sense of community. Sure you can do this on Facebook and Twitter too, but this is specific to your chosen site. There can be variations in topic, like with any other social site, of course...

I'm starting to sound like a geek, aren't I? :D

It just so happens that I am. Now, back to the topic. I am currently active on two clickable pet sites that might interest the one or two of you that share my passion for geekiness:
www.dragcave.net
www.silvadopts.com

On both sites, if anyone is interested in finding me, I am under the name "Wamakai." I hope to see you there! Until then though, I guess I'll have to see you later!

Bunny Out! (:3
