Hello fellow VillageCrafters, Staffers, and Guests of the forums,
My name is FroggyBee and I am here to convince all of the VillageCraft staff as to why I should have Llamas added to my forums account. I think that I have enough experience on the forums, as well as the server to be able to handle any amount of llamas handed my way. I will be listing off multiple points, as well as citing my sources. I hope you all appreciate my efforts and consider passing some llamas into account.
My first point I would like to make is how active I am on the server itself. I attend the majority of events that have been hosted in the past year or so. For example, I have participated in a few buildcomps, as well as the Winter/Wizard themed one that is currently being held (as of Dec. 5th 2023). Even though I have not won any of the build competitions, I still added my pieces and participated for the fun. I have also assisted in a few events, and helped to decorate parts of Qualia as well. I actively build in villages, assist newer players in their endeavors, and try to up tiers in villages that I own.
My second point as to why I think I should have some llamas added to my forums account is because I have 14 posts (15 including this one) on the forums. My other peers have less posts than me, and they still have llamas added to their account. For example, GuessKero, my lovely wife, has 4 posts, and she has 3 llamas on her profile(1). Kittypopping also only has 6 posts, and she has one on her profile(2). That being said, I still have none. Other legacy players like CRH244 -also known as CeeCee, have many posts, yet they only have one(3). I think that the system of handing out llamas has fluctuated over time. We deserve change and more fairness to who gets these llamas added to their pens.
My third point is that I have begged the owner himself and still have not received any. The only thing I have heard about getting them is if I beg staff, and I have done so(4). The only other ways I have seen explained have either been untrue, or only a joke. I think that my hard work in groveling, researching on the forums, begging on my hands and knees, hands covered in dirt and soot from cleaning the boots of my superiors would prove me worthy to have llamas added to my profile’s llama pen.
My final reason as to why I think I should have llamas added to my profile is that I am very responsible and love to care for them. I have taken care of many llamas on the server, as well built numerous homes for them. One great example is the giant llama pen me and MysteriousKing worked on at Lilac Lake. Though trader llamas don’t count, as I murder them on sight, the normal llamas on VillageCraft have been beloved creatures that I care deeply for. I keep my llama pen on the forums clean and tidy, as they are ready for new editions every day. Please give me llamas.

This post makes a plentitude of great points and addresses many concerns that I have thought of myself recently. I hope the great minds of the staff team will look into and address this troubling problem that FroggyBee has brought up.

You fail to recognize a crucial point.
The llamas come from within.

WHO GAVE ME NEGATIVE LLAMAS
-
This post rocks. Huh, looks like a llama came back to you?

HEY IM MENTIONED YOOOO

This post is glorious. It is funny, well written, and even cites sources in an acceptable academic format. It is truly a highlight of the year on the VC Forums.
And yet, you are negative llamas!? Negative? How can one have negative llamas? Are they anti-matter llamas? Are they non-llama llamas that transcend any rational understanding of space, time, and corporeal existence? We truly cannot know. The llamas come, the llamas go, the llamas know no bounds. For some they flock, for some they scatter. Can the llamas be understood, figured out, analyzed? Only they can know.
Do I have any idea what I'm talking about? No.
No I do not.

We have had many players ask about the llamanomics of VillageCraft. Everyone asks "VC staff, can I have more llamas?". Get, get, get. Me, me, me.

No one ever asks "how do I get The Llama King to bless me? How do I get this all knowing majestic omnipotent grandiose ETHEREAL beast to bless me with more of its FLOCK"?

give froggy some llamas!!!

Hi froggybee,
Your post is cool and good, but the bibliography format and citation style could be limiting potential Llama gain. If you weren't aware, the official citation style for the Villagecraft Forums is Harvard, I've reworked one of your citations into the correct format so you can see a proper example, that can be used as a format for your future posts.
For your bibliography, it should be cited as follows:
Kero, G. (2022) Profile of GuessKero, Village Craft Forums. Available at: https://www.villagecraft-server.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3535 (Accessed: 05 December 2023).
To make your post easier to read, you also may wish to utilize in-text citations after points where you want to bolster your evidence. An example of the same reworked citation is as follows:
(Kero, 2022)
Hope this is helpful!

the official citation style for the Villagecraft Forums is Harvard
Harvard is ugly and complicated, IEEE is the only valid referencing style. Nobody can convince me otherwise

But what about my precious footnotes?? :( :(

I would like to point out that FroggyBee is the solo recipient of Hughbert's Bug Catcher hat, which she earned by discovering and reporting a bug affecting VC, and thus all of us. Surely such altruistic action is worthy of a single llama.

which bug? That's an important detail.
-
It was an exploit bug in Hughbert iirc. Something that will become more important in the future so it was great to catch it so early on. Total props to FroggyBee for realizing and reporting it. Hence the specialty hat.
-
I have never seen a llama come from a hat before, I think you’re thinking of rabbits. There is no justice this cruel world
-
Soo..... rabbits for Froggy??? I support
-
The llama gods have seen fit to bless FroggyBee with a llama. Truly this is a cause for celebration. The llama gods are wise and benevolent.
-
bless!!
-
Thank you to everyone who has channeled their energy into the universe to bless me with llamas, I am eternally grateful. I hope more llamas are passed on to everyone as well.
