Genuinely curious if there is a dedicated active discord for specifically house builders? As well as a private adm server with them? I really want to equip my nice houses but I can’t do that in public servers because of scripting 🥀 I really just want to play in an adm server where I can see people (lowkey playing alone kinda sad in a private server) and so I can finally equip my nice houses without fearing they'd get scripted

I don't even talk much in adm, I mostly just do work while I idly play in the background but it's nice seeing other players around

THIS IS NOT A BAD ENCOUNTER ACTUALLY

I just can't get over this one person who was interested in my adopt me builds and straight up just entered my DMs and said “Make me a Goth House.” No hello, no how are you, no introduction—

Do I look like ChatGPT to bro 😭🙏 Blud typed out a prompt for me as if I was going to AI generate the house right then and there HAJAHAJ no offense to this dude whatsoever, I’m sure he's a decent person, I just found that interaction so funny that I couldn't even get annoyed at him 😭

Based on an situation that’s happened to me in game but—

This user I recently parted ways with was so incredibly insistent with offering to build things for me despite me showing reluctance and/or explicitly saying no. And why? Because I decided to be extremely generous for that one singular build they made for me? This was during a time I had no real idea how valuable the pets I was trading were as I had just joined adopt me after years of not playing. Do I regret that? No. Because I can still respect the effort it takes to build something in a game.

But rather than stopping there and act as a respectful, friendly mutual, they chose to follow me around for weeks in the hopes I will be just as generous and oblivious as I was before.

They lie about getting hacked, lie about getting scammed and for what? In the hopes I’d OP again? And mind you! The lies weren’t even that good because the houses they were pushing me to offer for still had picture frames of their legendary pets despite telling me they lost all of it.

They went as far as to specifically trade for pets I liked (which I already had) just so that they could hopefully get me to trade for them and once again, OP. They went as far as to look at my other accs outside of adopt me for this, aka my own art acc, and chose those pets assuming I’d trade for them since it’s similar to the things I draw. Like??? That is some crazy work you’d have to do just to get someone to trade you pets.

I do my best to avoid shaming builders for how they decide the worth of their own original builds but it doesn’t hurt to have some sort of humility or to be respectful and humble. There is nothing wrong with asking clients if they’d be interested in your other builds but once is enough. You do not have to follow your client every single time they are online just to ask if they’re interested as if the first no wasn’t enough.

Overall, just a really weird situation I got myself in and I don’t really want the build they gave me anymore because it just reminds me of how they acted towards me. Hell. They purposefully got away with doing the least amount of effort possible. I know because they literally said that. They kept complaining saying that it was too hard to make this build (that they agreed to do for me). I felt bad and ofc I let them skip a lot of steps. Same build I managed to recreate just fine in four days by the way.

Builders are 100% allowed to price their own builds however they want but I don’t see how it’s acceptable to be that shamelessly greedy.
