I think it would also be cool if we could adopt virtual guide dogs and use our points to buy food, toys and stuff for it.
That would be a cute idea and something I'd do lol. However, I don't see it happening. I don't think many of the zoners would support the idea and plus, if the vertual dog thing was on the site, dunno, it might slow it down or something.
Though having a reason for getting points is a good idea.
awwww, that is a cute idea!
Well this dragon will support this idea. I hope things can work out for it.
Yeah! You've got my vote! Then we would have something to do with all are points that are just sitting thair gathering dust.
I like it!! I've always loved the vertual pet idea anyway and have been envious of sighted people for a while now that they can have them. The points don't count for anything anyway. We could also have different senarios which we would also have to use our points to get out of. For example, we get lost and we have to ask someone to help us, which would cost let's say, ten points, or we have to call a taxi to come pick us up, which would cost, 50 or something. Or we could create our own situations for other users to have to gigure out how to get out of.
Just an idea,

Cool!
yeh its kinda cute but i really dont see the point.
BEN.
Chris N needs another hobby, that's the point lol. Not that it's a top priority, but it would be a cute idea if Chris ever got bored... At least it would give us something to do with all these points
The point of it would be to give the blind community a chance to own a virtual pet. All the other sites are not accessible to screenreaders like neopets and others.
i deffinantly am supporting this idea, i think it would be kind of neat
I definitely support the idea as well. Like several have said, points are just sitting there doing nothing, so having a way to spend them would be a good thing.
someone get a CL/admin and make them read this lol. It really is a great idea. I mean, having a text based guide dog, or any animal for that matter and whatnat, it's great!
I support the idea as it would give children an insight into caring for a pet. Good 1.
I'd much rather get a virtual cane, easier to take care of
Can this virtual guide dog help me pick up virtual girls, and will I get hit by a virtual car if I give my dog to much fat tire, and mud slide?
Only if someone on the zone buys a virtual car and goes driving without a license, you could virtually get killed too since virtual driving by the blind is virtually impossible.
LOL. I agree with the idea..and it would give us, (again) something to use our points for.
And real cars are freaky enough, can you immagine what virtual cars could do?...LOL JK
hehehehe.
I'd sell certain relatives for a virtual Ducati Desmosedici with 203 break horse power.
Just to correct whom ever it was that claimed that there were no accessible dog training games to be found online. go and peruse
Accessible games
right here on the boards. There's at least two in there and possibly more.
Showdog.com
and
Furry-paws.com
are the two that I know of.
Well I just think the points should be used for something other than just sitting in our accounts. I think we should be able to adopt the other kinds of guide animals to other than the dogs. I mean if anything I'd like to adopt guide horse.
As for the payment for the guide animal why not make it to where you could pay 10,000 points to adopt one of them or something around that amount. Ah yes do forget that we could also give are animal a name.
Yeah we could also make to where we can build up their dog homes, stables, or whatever. I think that be cool to. Make to where we pay a cetrain amount of point to upgrade from let's say a dirt floor to a grass floor, from a grass floor to a stone floor and so on.
Have the animal have realistic features like they did for the Neopets on their site. Let's say you go check on the animal's status and it'll say the animal is hungry so if you had bought it food from a marketr place or off another zoner with the points then you could feed or give it water. Have it to where if you don't feed a day say it hungry, next day: very hungry, third day if not fed: starving and so on.
As for the items, they could be anywhere from food, toys, water, bowls, and such and such.
Yeah, cool idea!
Yes it is and I'm still very supportive over this idea to. I hope the Admins can make this happen. I think this will be the turn around to spice up the Zone in which it needs. I believe once people hear about this the Zone would then be raking in more members.
This is a really neat idea! I've always wanted a vertual pet! Once I even went to www.neopets.com after my sister went there! I was disappointed when I discovered that the web site wasn't accessible with Jaws! Chris I loved seeing the guide horse on Oprah last year!
oooo I want a vertual guide aminal
Well, I have to be completely honest with you all hear. I really don't see this happening. This web site is primarily here as a community with a few games thrown in for good measure. It sounds as though what you are now asking for is the site to completely change direction and become a game with a community attached for good measure. If you want vertual pets then follow the links I provided above. Those sorts of games are out there.
Seriously though I don't think that Chris and Jay would have either the time or inclination for this sort of thing. Of course I will point it out to them but honestly, I think not.
Thanks, Dan.
aww dan damn rain on our pet parade why don't you lol It's a cuteful very cute idea and I'd kill to see it happen.. Um or not but great idea!
I think it's a very interesting idea! If the virtual guide dog idea doesn't come about, what if we set something up where a certain amount of points would allow a zoner to win prizes or something? Just a thought.
Furry paws is plenty accessible if one wants such a thing. But I know frompersonal experience that those games do nothing more than allowing for fun. They don't, just like the little giga pets that were babies, give you any real clue into what you are in for until you are really dealing with a real dog--or any animal--or a real child.
However, as has been stated, furry paws is plenty accessible and would suit all of your purposes I am sure.

I agree. We need something to do with our points, not just the games. I like the idea of making other problems for users too. That could be a new game, except, you have to pay with your points. Could even have sounds in it. Like the taxi horn or something lol.
That sounds way cool!
i agree with all the ideas
I think there should be a vertual city and have blind and sided be in it with Cars House and Bisnisses
All you guys out there hankering for virtual pets can also try www.powerpets.com if it's still around. I think this is a cute idea, myself.
Neopets works just fine for me, been on it for years. I agree with Dan, we all come up with these great ideas, yet it seems no one's willing ot put work into them except get a cl to read this. I'm not trying to sound synical, but if we can't back upour statements with wilingness to help find out how other sites like that were created, then why make anything?
You mean I'll have a reason to get points other then sitting in my shell for quicknotes? Hmm... Interesting to say the least. Have never done anything like this before and it sounds interesting.
I like it but unfortunately i can't code. Let me learn php and I just might start somethin up of my own if they don't do it here.
well it would be a good idea to have this feature and it would be good to make it as real as possible so that peple know what it is like to own a dog. It could be a learning tool before people decide to get a guide dog.
www.furry-paws.com
is a really great site once you figure it out. Maybe coding a vertual dog would be a big job for admins who are rarely around, and maybe it would take up too much surver space?
*shrugs.
