Zapping Your Dream Pets

Hello there, ! This is the homepage of the Zapping Your Dream Pets Guild! This introduction is for new, prospective members, or members just checking out 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 Ray. 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 Zapping Your Dream Pets Guild! The ZYDP Guild was originally founded as a place where the Zappers could gather to chat (and complain about that uncooperative Mad Scientist!). Because one of our leaders went missing, no one could take over. I have thus, re-created the guild here, now known as Zapping Your Dream Pets. Everyone is welcome to join the ZYDP Guild . ZYDP is just a general, Neo-related guild, and we now have over 400 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

Your Role in the Guild

As you first join the guild you may be wondering "Well what can I do?" Look below to see some ideas. The first set will be for ALL members

Post and introduce yourself.
Participate in the Guild Activities
Chat at the Guild Board
Advertise the Guild
Wishlist Cleanup (Look for those inactive/disabled accounts)
Zapperlist Cleanup (Look for those inactive/disabled accounts)
If desired, look in the pound for pets that can fulfill wishlist pieces.

Now for those that are zappers:

Visit theZappers List and Sign up!
Adopt/create a pet to zap.
Zap daily until a change occurs.
Once a change occurs, decide if you want to keep/gift/trade (the pet is yours first!!).
If you wish to gift the pet check the wishlist to see if the pet is wished for. If not keep zapping, make a board to find a new home for pet, pound the pet, etc.
If you are able to grant a pet for the wishlist... check the Happy Endings and mail the necessary info.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 as often as you'd like/can!

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, and try to be sure to drop by and post a bit at least once every week/every other week. This way we know you remember you joined a guild! No one will bite you, I promise! We would appreciate if you would use proper english (No Chat Speak). When you talk lik dis somtims it hardd to understand. (:
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, "Zapping Your Dream Pets: the Guild" does not provide Neopoints to its members. Sorry!
Have fun! (Yes, having fun is a RULE. We command it! XD)

Guild Council

Here you can learn a little bit about the lovely people on ZYDP's council:

Bermudakitty	Bio: Hi! I'm Allison, and I'm the leader here at Zapping Your Dream Pets. I love animals (real ones and pixelated ones ;)) I love school and to read (yeah yeah, major nerd). On Neo, I spend most of my time managing ZYDP stuff and working on my permie pets. I love smilie faces and I tend to use them lots (:! I can't help it... XD. If my inbox if full, post it on the guild, or if you must throw dung at me... after all it would be my fault :) ZYDP Position: Guild Leader Allison manages many pages associated with ZYDP (most importantly, the Webbie, and Zappers List). She's the girl to go to if you need to update your rank, or wanted to be added to the zappers list, or if you have some random ZYDP-related question. _______________________________________________
Starrona	Bio: Hi, I'm Star! I'm on neo most of the time. Aside from my job and sleep and the hanging with friends I'm on pretty much on all the time. I'm no artist or writer, and I haven't gotten into the roleplaying aspect of neo,but I'm trying to at least come up with characters for my pets, just in case I ever do. You will often find me at Pound Chat. My ultimate dream pet is an UC Faerie Ixi, but the chances of getting that are slim. ZYDP Position: Co-Leader, and Wishlist Runner Star runs our Wishlist and our Happy Endings page. So she's the one to talk to if you want to add your name to the wishlist, if you have given away a dream pet, or if you have any ZYDP related questions! She is a big help, and knows a lot about the guild _______________________________________________
