Absent

Hey farmers! 

I have a very long overdue apology for y'all. Sorry I haven't been posting on the blog as of late! 

This year I'm in my last year of high school, and grades, University applications and scholarships have taken up a huge chunk of my time. In the midst of that, this year I am captain of my high school's cheerleading team, and have been working long and hard to finish our routine for the year. When I'm not at my own practices, I'm also coaching an elementary cheer team, which is very time consuming. Brief update on all that stuff below :p


School: 

I've been really focused on school this past month. Between applications, quizzes, and friendships, school has been a really interesting time as of late. This week our football team had their city championship game. All season they had been undefeated, and sadly, they lost in the most important game! It was sad to see, but the cheer team got to sit in the bleachers and watch which was a very fun time. 

Cheer: 

In cheer, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Teaching skills to the new girls has really been testing my patience, and is causing quite a few injuries. Hoping that the team will be able to bounce back soon. As for myself, I've begun going to the gym regularly at school, and have been stretching 24/7. I'm very close to get new tumbling skills and I'm super excited for them! 

Coaching: 

Coaching has been really fun. It's been really cool learning how to take a leadership role and choreograph things. 


Other updates: 

This week I had gone to a huge conference/concert called "We Day". It's a huge convention with motivational speakers, singers and bands, actors and olympians who come to speak about how we can create change in the world. One of my favorite actresses from Degrassi was there and I got a picture with her. I had been wanting to go to We Day for six years, and it was everything i'd hoped for and more. 


That's all for now! Once again, sorry for the lack of updates. I think I'm gonna try to post once a month with an over all update like this. Tell me what you guys think! 

Bye,

Bluezebra!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for checking out this weeks post. So, the whole reason I started this blog was to have you guys be involved. I personally love Opinion posts the best because it gives me a chance to really have you guys involved. But I'd love it if you guys were involved in every post! Always feel free to leave comments on posts, expressing your opinions, giving me feedback, or even giving me ideas to improve this blog! 

To involve you guys more, I've decided I'll be alternating between different posts every tuesday. For the rest of the summer there will be a new post every tuesday (wednesday at the latest) and hopefully you guys enjoy it!This week I'm comin back with another favorite - Opinion Question of the Week!This weeks question is... 


How much do you think rares are really worth?



Thank you to the following farmers for answering: Karens, emma_m, WerewolvesRP, TurboTime and Winks! Here are their answers: 



The sale price is up to the member. I personally think these are being sold for far too much money. People don't respect the value of a dollar any more. It's sad. I made 50 cents an hour my first job. It was at a snack bar in an ice skating rink. I was 14. 


I think certain rares are worth more than others. Twilight vines, which are more common than the newer rares, should sell for less. They usually don't though. I can see the newer rares selling for 750l+, because they are hard to get your hands on but can really make a design unique.


Well I never bought a trophy because they don't interest me but if I had one I wouldn't sell it but let's just say I "would" maybe 300+k 

I think rares are somewhere between 125k to 750k, depending on which item it is. I myself have found 4 Veiled Ladies, 3 Twilight's Vines, but have not seen head nor tail of The Pearl Of The Forest or the Cradled Lantern, therefore making them much more valuable, at least to myself that is.

In my opinion, rares value at anywhere between 500k to 1.5 million; depending upon which rare(but are usually sold for more). 

Rares are maybe worth 500k or more. I'm not really sure on the price. I don't get that rares are special because there like any other item in your farm, except it glows. (But it does look pretty and beautiful on how it glows.) 


What do you think? How much are rare items really worth?

Make sure to leave your opinions below! Also, please take a second to check out my story! http://www.wattpad.com/story/18821163-fate-luck-and-destiny Comment, vote, and share on it!

Real Life Update... and some blog info

HOWDY!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. Thanks for comin back! So, the whole reason I started this blog was to have you guys be involved. I personally love Opinion posts the best because it gives me a chance to really have you guys involved. But I'd love it if you guys were involved in every post! Always feel free to leave comments on posts, expressing your opinions, giving me feedback, or even giving me ideas to improve this blog! SO. I would really like to know: How are you doing? Are you back in school? Enjoying it? How was your summer? I'd really love to see a conversation begin on this post, so make it happen!


Today was my first day back to school, and it was surprisingly fun! This is my last year of high school, and even though the stress of university applications and adulthood are looming on me, I had a great day. Woke up early to go find my classes ( because even after two years, I still manage to get lost lol) and helped some new students get around. This year we have 400 new students, and the school is completely packed. The hallways are extremely crowded, and most of them are taller than me! I'd been mistaking for a tenth-grade five times today. Not happy! XD 


Other than that, my classes are good, and seeing my friends was awesome. This year my cheer season will be starting early, so I put up some posters with a fellow teammate of mine. Last night we had met with our coaches, and they decided this year we should have team captains. Can you guess who they asked? ME! And one of my closest friends on the team was bestowed the honor as well. I couldn't be more excited! 



In creaturebreeder news, I'm SUPER excited! My subhopes are nearly complete - I've made it to the 20th generation of my Ginger Snap Fuzcubs! If you'd like to take a peek at them, or ask to snatch a pair, click HERE to go their farm! 


I really don't have much else to say, other than that going back to school wasn't as awful as I'd thought. I'll probably have a different opinion tomorrow when I end up with homework. :p 



As for this blog, I'm not sure what sort of direction it'll be going in. This year I'm going to be coaching, cheering, working and trying not to fail school, so I'll be quite preoccupied. Probably going to be changing my uploading schedule to be every weekend, possibly every second week. Please leave comments about what sort of plan you'd like to see in future.

This weeks question is...

Do you think it is ethical to sell trophies?

Thank you to the following farmers for answering: Karens, Winks, emma_m, WerewolvesRP and TurboTime! Here are their answers: 


Absolutely not! A trophy or award is for a personal accomplishment. If the owner of the trophy no longer wants it they should return it to Creature Breeder. It's all about having integrity. 

Honestly, no, I don't. What's the point of doing all that hard work to win a design contest and then selling the only thing that you can show for actually winning? (I mean besides the design, of course, but the trophy is proof). Also, a lot of the people who want to buy trophies are talented designers themselves. Why buy one when you can win one and have some meaning in it?

I honestly think nothing of trophies and I think they shouldn't be sold for a couple of reasons, 

1- you didn't win the contest so you want people to think you won it? 

2- Why do you want/need it? 

3 Win something on your own 

Honestly I think it is quite pointless selling them

I don't think trophies should be sold. It shows that you put in hard work and effort and won something for it. Selling it seems like it was all for naught or like you wanted the prize just for the money you could make off of it.


What do YOU think? Is it ethical to sell trophies? Leave comments below!

And that's all for this week! Make sure to stay tuned - the next post will be another highly requested post...

Ciao, Caribbean!

Howdy farmers!

One last vacation post for ya. First off, I'd like to alert you guys to a few things. Now that my vay-cay is wrapping up, I'll be starting up some old posts that some viewers are fond of.

Alright, moving on! These past few days have been pretty nice. On sunday I went down to a black sand beach with my grandmother, cousins, and Great-Aunt. The beach was called "Kittle Beach", as it's named after the Kittle Volcano. For those of you who may not know this, the sand is turned black because of volcanic ash. It looks so beautiful, and I swear it sparkles and glittlers when the sun shines on it. But it is hot enough to burn your feet, so we all ran straight to the water as fast as we could. I can't swim, so I spent the majority of my time just playing near the shore, flailing in the shallow water, or sailing around on boats. It was gorgeous, and I'd love to go again some time!

Yesterday I went to the downtown market to buy the last of my souvenirs, and to go for lunch with my Grandma and some cousins. We went to a gorgeous rooftop hotel, and had fresh tuna, crab, chicken, goat.... it was wonderful.My mouth is watering again at the thought of it. Afterwards I went and got my final cone of icecream, and we headed back home. We leave on thursday morning, so now we are just packing our suitcases and enjoying our last few days in the sun. 

Not much exciting news on my part, but that's it! Thanks to all who requested these vacation posts, and enjoyed reading them! :) When I get home I will edit the previous ones and add some photos, but until then this is it! 

Starting Friday the blog will return to normal with OQW, Design Showcase and whatever other posts you guys request! Currently on CB, I have four designs up for bidding - go check em out! http://creaturebreeder.com/farm/view/887476 

AND, if anyone is interested in reading, I've put up the third chapter to my story! Any reads, votes, and comments are greatly appreciated! http://www.wattpad.com/story/18821163-fate-luck-and-destiny 

Until next time,

Carnival Fever!

Hey farmers!

I'm back again with another vacation post. First of all, I'd like to let you guys know my vacation is coming to a close. I return home next week thursday. 

Alright, enough of that. So far this week has been wild! In the Caribbean it is Carnival season, and it is really hard not to get swept up in the fun of it! On Monday I ventured down town for Juvay. Juvay is the kickoff parade for Carnival. Juvay starts on Sunday night, and people literally dance in the streets until monday afternoon. We woke up at 5Am and went downtown which is extremely early for me. 5AM here is 3AM back home for me! So initially I was pretty sluggish, but once I got down town there was no sleeping there. Huge trucks with Djs blaring music cruised down the roads, and people were dancing, drinking and throwing paint on eachother! Groups of people would run around tossing paint at others, and dousing themselves in rainbow arrays of colors. The music was so loud you could feel your rib cage rattling with every breath, and the ground beneath your feet thrumming with energy. The happy mood of the crowd was infectious and I danced until I couldn't dance anymore. 

Yesterday, was the Carnival Costume Parade. We have something similar to this where I live called Cariwest, but this was so much more. This was a judged event, so each costume group was very strict and proffessional... except for the fact that they all had drinks. Each group was sponsored by a different alcohol company, so they had an unlimited supply of alcohol with them. The parade floats and dancers were so pretty and full of vibrant flowers at the start, but by the end they were a lot drunk. It was pretty funny to watch them near the end, stumbling around! xp 


Today is a beach day. Everybody just goes down to the beach, rain or shine, and swims. Pretty boring day, but it was really nice swimming in the rain. Well, flailing since I can't really swim. Whatever. ;p


That's it for me! Hope you enjoyed this short update. I would really love it if you guys read my story. I'm starting to slowly write a story on this amazing site/app Wattpad. Any reads or comments/votes are greatly appreciated. Even a quick glance is amazing! Please read: http://www.wattpad.com/story/18821163-fate-luck-and-destiny 

Until then,

Bluezebra!

Rain, rain, and Shane!

Hey everybody!


Got another update for you. Not too exciting but you guys asked for it!


First off, I'd like to say HAPPY CANADA DAY! I know like 99.9%  of you don't care but if there are any farmers from Canada you can share in my excitement. And secondly, I need farmers to showcase! Got cute farms? Pets for sale? Designs you worked hard on and want the world to see? Well let me help! If you want me to showcase you and your farms, let me know by clicking here. Go to my second farm and let me know why you think you should be showcased. If I'm interested, I'll respond (after my vay-cay ;] )!


SO I haven't been up to much since arriving here on Friday. Me and my grandmother arrived really late at night cause our flight kept getting delayed due to rain. It would start pouring and stop. Then pour some more. It went on like this for about three hours, and at this point we'd already been sitting in the airport for nine hours! Eventually we made it in, and what were we welcomed by? RAIN! It rained like crazy all through the weekend, causing us to ironically have no running water at night, internet connection was lost, and no tv. Let's just say I'm glad i packed my kindle - I got A LOT of reading done.


Today the weather held up, so I got to go downtown to the market. My grandma had a field day buying mangos, soursop, sugar apples and coconut some yummy fresh fruit that just doesn't taste as good back in Canada. Afterwards we headed out for lunch.


For lunch, we decided to go to KFC. I haven't had KFC/Any fast food in two years, but decided to give it a shot. They have multiple breadings here in the Caribbean - Spicy, original, sweet, etc. so the chicken is pretty cool here! But this was no ordinary fast food joint. It is THREE FLOORS, and has an elevator curling around the outside. We walked up to get lunch and there were literally people piling into the street from the place! It was pure madness, but I gotta say it was worth it.


Other than that I've just been lounging about playing with puppies, playing cards, and reading. Sorry if this was another lame update haha but hopefully next week's will be better! The summer Carnival starts next week, so I'll have lots to write about.

Ooooone last thing! My favorite youtuber of all time, Shane Dawson, has a movie coming out soon titled "Not Cool". If you could check out the trailer (click here) I will be forever in your debt! Just kidding. But seriously check it out I am so pumped and it's going to be in theaters not just a little youtube thing but i'll stop rambling now. Other than that, that's a wrap on this small update!

And please remember - I need farmers to showcase! Got cute farms? Pets for sale? Designs you worked hard on and want the world to see? Well let me help! If you want me to showcase you and your farms, let me know by clicking here. Go to my second farm and let me know why you think you should be showcased. If I'm interested, I'll respond (after my vay-cay ;] )!


Until next week,

RLU - Island Style?

Hey everybody! 

BZ here, with another real life update. These seem to be popular, so while i'm taking a break from design showcases, i figured i'd give you guys these! So if you have seen my farms recently, you'd know I'm going on vacation! I leave in TWO DAYS for a twenty day long trip to the oh so lovely Caribbean.  If you guys want some updates during my trip, let me know by voting in the poll! 

Not much has happened this week, other than studying, studying and more studying! Today i had my very last exam of grade 11 - math. Currently I'm waiting and refreshing the page and hoping to magically see my math mark boost. I only need .8% in math to get honors, so i'm sure you can guess how anxious I am about it. 

Other than that, I went and got my nails done in a salon for the first time ever! Now i know that's probably not very exciting, but it was really cool! I got mint green gel nails with palm trees on them so they'll look super cute on the beach. As cool as it was though, I much prefer painting my own nails. I am a little obsessed with nail art; I own over 225 bottles, four seperate brush/dotting tool sets, ten stripers, and more. Think after the summer I'll go back to doing them myself, just cause it's cheaper and safer (for cheerleading). I think when I get back from my trip I'll get them done one last time. What color should I get? Leave a comment in my farm L'Heureux to let me know! 

Also, I went and saw The Fault In Our Stars. I really really really liked it, and before you all roll your eyes at me just know I read this book waaaaaaay back when it had first came out. So it's been a long wait and I was not disappointed! I had gone with a childhood friend that I hadn't seen in ages and it was so so great. 

All in all, a pretty basic week. I'm excited for my trip and if you guys want, I'll let you know all about it! 

Please make sure to go to my farm and request to have your designs showcased! I'm looking for active farmers, so just go ask! 

Until next time, 

Bluezebra!

RLU

Hey everyone! Another real life update for you! 

I am sorry to say this won't be the most cheerful of posts on my blog. Sorry that I've been slacking on you guys, but with exams starting, I've been a little bit distracted. Also, i'm running out of farmer's to showcase! If you would like to be showcased, leave a comment on my farm L'Heureux explaining why you feel like you should be showcased! 

So as of late I've been dealing with some very heavy stuff. This week the pastor at my school recently told us that he'd been rediagonosed with cancer. He has leukemia, and has told us that treatment won't be able to help him. This week at school began on a very sad note and on thursday morning, we were only brought more tragic news. A close friend of mine passed away after suffering from heart problems all his life. It's been a tough week for the whole student body, and on me. This devastating news on top of exam stress has been a lot to deal with. 

Now, on a less depressing note, this past friday was the premiere day for How To Train Your Dragon 2. I went and saw it with my best friend and it. Was. AMAZING. I laughed. I cried. I gasped and cried some more. I absolutely adore kids movies, and HTTYD has to be one of my absolute favorites (next to The Little Mermaid and Tangled ofcourse).  It was a great way to cheer myself up a little. 

Father's Day was yesterday and my dad and I went lawn bowling at our community center and then went home and had a Liam Neeson movie marathon as we do every year. I hope everyone had a wonderful father's day - and if you don't have a father figure present in your lives, i hope you were able to have a special day with someone dear to you! 

So in exactly ten days I will be leaving for a vacation to the Caribbean. During that time i won't be able to do design showcases, but i will try and put up a real life update if you guys want that? Let me know in the poll! 

Until next time farmers,

Real Life Update

Hey everybody! 

Welcome back to the blog! Just want to let everyone know that this week won't be a design showcase - I'll explain near the end of the post. This week will be a small update about me! 

First off, these past few weeks have been a bit wild. A couple of my good friend's had just had a break up, so all week i was consoling them. Funny enough they're already back together! XD Then, later on last week a new store in my favorite mall opened - Brandy Melville. I was SO EXCITED - it's a cute american clothing store that's totally Cali/Starbucks White Girly, but i love it all the same. The grand opening was last Friday and the line up to get in was insaaaane! Totally worth it though. Then I went to see the new X-Men movie and left the theater with my jaw on the ground in confusion! If you've seen it and stayed till the end, discuss with me on my farm. Then on Sunday I went to church and saw an African Children's Choir performance. They were absolutely adorable - a group of Ugandan children travelling the world and performing amazing cultural songs. Other than that, school is wrapping up, i'm applying for cheer jobs, and finals are looming over me! 

Speaking of finals, I'm going to be on a bit of a hiatus starting June 14th. I have finals coming up, one of them being a very important diploma exam, and i won't be able to post in that time. And my final exam is on the 25th, followed by my sports banquet on the 26th and then on the 27th i will be flying to the Caribbean! While I'm there I will try to put up some personal posts, but if a storm blows by and i miss a week it's cause the power went out! xp 

Regarding future blog posts, I've been asking for people to vote in the poll to let me know what they want in future. Personal posts (like this one i hope?), more design showcases, and more OQWs seem to be what y'all want! SO throughout the summer I will try to make a consistent posting schedule. When school lets out and i have nothing else to do I will try to churn out as many posts as I can. As for the Design Showcase posts, I need new farmers! If you want to be showcased, my only requirements are that you're nice and active. I will not be posting showcases of inactive farmers. Leave a comment on my farm L'Heureux saying you'd like to be featured and why, and maybe you'll see your farms on here! 

That's all for this week. Hope this satisfies all of you! Be back soon (I hope! x*) 

Bluezebra.

OQW

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say another huge thank you to everyone who votes in the polls, and gives me good feedback! My latest poll is inquiring as to what you would all like to see in the future. Please cast a vote of what you'd like to see in my next posts. Seeing as the school year is coming to a close, I'll have more time to dedicate to the blog! Now, onto this weeks' Opinion Question of the Week! 

What do you think CB could do to improve the site?

I'd like to thank the following farmers:  StoryUntold, Candifloss1739, nebulous, Ravyn, Ameru, 1_Luna, xProDreamerx, randompersyn3 and MarioJeni for posting their opinions! Now, onto it shall we? 

It would be nice if it were possible to move more than one type of accessory into a farm at one time.

I really hope they put more creative stuff in the store. I wish they had a better chat system and the shout outs, I don't like how people have to verify there email accounts JUST to make a shout out. :)

I think it would be fun to have more things to do in the wild other than to pick up accessories and stuff like that. ^-^

I think inactive accounts should be deleted. Say... if they have been inactive for around 4 years+. Maybe some more creatures and new items? I really want a chat box rather than the comment box or the shout out area. I also think we should be able to put more than 10 creas in one farm or be able to have more farms.

Interaction between members. I think we should have a PM system for normal chitchat or professional deals about buying/trading. I also don't really like how much the whole community tab posts about what I do. I don't think anyone cares if I fed my creas or log in/out.

I think they should make more places in the wild and more new creatures and accessories.

To improve CreatureBreeder, I would definitely do something with the wild. You know the glowing tree? When we first got it, I thought it would be a secret entrance to something. That'd be a neat idea. 
I think we can cut back on the new creatures and rares coming out so quickly. The rares should still be harder to find. I know that I have found all three of the new rares in the wild, but I played for years and never found a twilight vine. I think there should be one rare available every week. (this is not a popular opinion) This makes people work harder because they are more rare. 
I also love seeing new creatures added, but I think they should slow down on it. The excitement of the ponya's had not even worn off by the time Pinni's were released! Not that I am complaining, I just think we should slow down a little.
I also don't like everyone seeing every time I find something in the wild or feed my creatures, etc.

The farm management and moving things and critters around's a pain in the toes. And that's with six farms.

I think that with the Community Tab, I don't think they should anounce every little thing that we do. Maybe people care about when we log in and out or go to the Wild, but maybe they don't care when we feed their creatures or when we pick something up in the Wild. They should make more accessories and creatures to make this website look more interestiong! I think there should be more secret hideouts and more fun stuff to do in the Wild. And with the shoutouts, I think there should be a normal chat system between a couple of friends. I think the shoutouts are wierd and unfair to people that can't because they have to get their e-mails verifed.

And that is all for this weeks Opinion Question of the Week (OQW)! Make sure to tune in next week for another design showcase of a wonderful farmer on cb.

Welcome! 
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the site. Thanks for checking it out! Make sure to cast your vote in the new poll. Now, on to this weeks Opinion Question of the Week! 


Do you like the new Wild? Why and what do you (dis)like?

I'd like to say thank you to *PandaDesigns*, tootsiexox, Candifloss1739, MissyMooKittyKoo, PatriciaArquette, and sed4real  for answering this weeks question! Check out their thoughts below. 

The new wild is wonderful. It's new and fresh, and shows all of the wonderful changes that have been going on on CB for the past few years. It's much bigger, and you know that you can find everything on the main paths. You don't have to wonder if there is a rare waiting for you under the trees our out in the green abyss because they aren't there! Plus, it's actually updated and you can see other users. I think it's a huge leap from the old wild and has strengthened the community.

I really love the new wild :) Before when I used to go to the wild I never really found anything such as rares.. That is one thing I now love, everytime you go to the wild you find something new and exciting <3 I also like the bonsai tree that is there, it helps users earn money in a different way :) Being able to see and chat with other users is also really cool :) One thing that used to interest me about the old wild however, was seeing the creatures that you once released. I miss this factor about the wild! Although, I believe that this "new" wild is sooo much more cool and exciting <3

I do love the new Wild! But, it would be better if their are more rares I can find. I never found rares before, only twice. Whenever people have up to 5 rares in their farm, it feels like there rubbing it in my face. I also wish there are more secret hideouts! Some ideas are a huge flowery meadow and some caves <3. But, I do love the bonsai tree thats there, it helps people earn money in a different way! I always LOVE seeing people and talk to them, now that there is a speech text box,(Whatever you call it.Hehe). I also like seeing some eggs around! A while back like 5 years ago, I never liked the Wild, but now its fun and awesome. 

I love the new Wild! In the old Wild it told us we could find items, and even see creatures we released, but for me none of that ever happened. Now I find items almost every visit. I also love being able to talk to people. Its a lot easy than commenting on farms (I always forgot what I'd posted by the time they reply). I've made quite a few friends in the Wild :D 
It has become quite a good place to kill time, which is good, because many sites you'll run out of things to do eventually. I'm quite excited to see if they continue to make changes to the Wild. I think a cool feature would be more secret places, and maybe different Wilds. They could have a collection of maybe 20 or so different ones, and put a different one up every day, so we always have something new to explore!


The new wild is nice, not much a fan of the chat feature in it though. I'd rather just go in and look around without someone stopping me asking me something or wanting to just chat. I have noticed several abusing the wild just to swear and use vulgar language. And I am not a fan of that. I think I am more used to the old wild, where I could go in look around and not have to worry about someone following me around ect. Granted with the new wild I have found several rares, that I have never found or had before. That was nice.

I do not like the new wild cause if you follow the path it just leads back to the beginning like a loop and i don't like the chat it is weird but i like you can find rare creatures there if you walk around enough

OQW

Welcome! 
Hi everybody! Just wanted to start off with a ginormous thank you to everyone who has checked out my blog! It just launched this week, and has already reached 266 Page Views! Also, thank you to everyone who has voted in the poll, given me feedback, and answered my questions over on CB! 

Speaking of Questions, this post is about my Opinion Question of the Week! This weeks question was: 



Do you believe rares and youth potions are used as a status symbol? 

I would like to thank Beemeowz0, fabiothefabulous, zephyranthes, biscuitboy1, byris and Kelie1982 for answering this weeks question! Check out their opinions below. 

Kind of, sometimes they are... It's less with rares because everyone has an equal chance of getting one and having one doesn't make you special...you're just lucky. I use youth potions in my first farm as a main part of the design, but I didn't do that to show off. I just did it because it looked good and was something different but I think some people have used them to do that. 

I think youth potions are for sure used as a status symbol. Some people place them all over their farms where it isn't needed. It's just screaming "look at me, ooh, i can afford them!" It's really silly if you ask me. I think rares are to a point as well, because some people don't let you buy them, just because they don't want things to be possibly ruined... there comes a point where it crosses the line. 

It is. It's kinda oppressing to people who don't have enough money (like me). I mean, those people can afford to have a thousand youth potions and as I'm writing I only have a small amount of farm bucks, so I'm sorta writing this from a biased point of view. Sometimes people just rub it in your face that they can basically buy anything and you can barely afford a food barrel.

I think yes. I have a lot of farm bucks, but I don't buy any youth potions because I think they're not needed at all. It is a status symbol because they are a lot of money. 

I think some people might TRY and use rares and youth potions as status symbols - but I don't think it's very effective on a site like cb. People are more interested in creative farm designs and breeding projects than in what other players are capable of hoarding - someone could fill an entire farm to the brim with youth potions and I don't think it would earn them nearly as much actual respect/admiration as a meticulous lineage or an inventive design. On other sites, flaunting expensive items and rare creatures would definitely impress other players - here, you just look silly.

Rare items possibly. But I don't see the need to fill a farm to the brim with youth potions. Personally in my opinion, if I'm to have youth potions I will keep them in my inventory until I need them. I don't buy many anyways. I'd rather use decorations to fill my farms instead of using youth potions. But you know, everyone has their own taste. And that's alright by me. It's not my farm, so who ever uses them, to each their own. :)

Once again, thanks to everyone who answered this weeks question!
