ZYDP Guild Website

Hello there, guest! This is the homepage of the ZYDP Guild! This introduction is for new or prospective members of the Guild, who would like to know more about what we do.

First, let's talk about the ZYDP Program. Our mission is to unite Neopians with their dream pets through our Zapper & Wishlist programs. :) How does this work? It's simple. We have an extensive Wishlist, where we list usernames and dream pets. Fulfilling all of these wishes is a lot of hard work, and that's where our Zappers come in. The Zappers are very generous Neopians with access to the Secret Lab. The Zappers have volunteered to help ZYDP by using their lab rays to zap Neopets. When a pet gets zapped into a new color/species, the Zapper checks the Wishlist to see who wished for that kind of pet. Then the Zapper sends the pet away to its new home. :)

Now for a little bit of information about the ZYDP Guild! The ZYDP Guild was originally founded as a place where the Zappers could gather to chat (and complain about that uncooperative Mad Scientist!). Everyone is welcome to join the ZYDP Guild. ZYDP is just a general, Neo-related guild, and we now have over 200 members. These members have diverse roles: Zappers (who zap pets!), helpers (who don't have the lab ray, but help out in many other ways), wishers (who are looking for their dream pet), savers (who are saving for their own lab maps), and more! But the one thing that we all have in common is that we are all dedicated to granting as many wishes as possible.

Guild Ranks

Here are the criteria for each of the ranks. Please check and make sure that you have been assigned the correct rank! If you fulfill the criteria for more than one rank, it is up to you to decide which rank you'd like. (For example, if you have granted 5 wishes, but you have also posted 100+ times, you can choose between being an "Ultimate Zapper" or "Super Active.")

#1: Super Active any member (zapper or non-zapper) who has more than 100 posts

#2: Ultimate Zapper any zapper who gives away 5+ dream pets

#3: Notable Zapper any zapper who has given away at least one dream pet

#4: Newbie Zapper any member who is on the zapper list, but hasn't given away any pets

#5: Helper any remaining, non-zapper guild member

Guild Rules

Okay, so these rules are basically common sense, but they're listed here, just in case you want specific guidelines. :)

Please enable Guild Mailings! To do so, go here and check the box next to "Enable Guild Mailings." This allows the ZYDP council to send Neomails to all members of the guild at the same time. (If you don't have this enabled, you'll miss out on the Neomails!) Sometimes important information is sent by Neomail. However, if you forget to enable guild mail, you can always find the Newsletters here on this site. :)
Stop by the guild message board to chat...frequently! Members with zero posts may be removed from the guild for inactivity. So please come by to say hi. No one will bite you, I promise!
When advertising for ZYDP, remember to be polite and respectful to everyone that you talk to. Your attitude can reflect on the ZYDP guild as a whole. And we want everyone to like us, haha. ;)
ZYDP is a no-begging zone! We would love to help you adopt your dream pet, but please do not beg for anything.
Also, individual members of the guild may choose to donate to your (insert-what-you're-saving-for-here) fund. But as a whole, "ZYDP: the Guild" does not provide Neopoints to its members. Sorry!
Have fun! (Yes, having fun is a RULE. We command it. XD)
