Fluff Friends

They are virtual pets which you can adopt on facebook. You can own exotic animal as pets. Feed them, pet them, have your pet challenge with other pets. Just simply adopt a pet and you game can prodeed from there.

The commodity of exchange here is known as “Munny”. Here are the few ways where you can grab hold of some.

1. Surveys for munny (100 munny, once a week.)
2. Copy your fluff link It should look something like this (http://apps.facebook.com/fluff/fluffbook.php?id=747863624). Tagged along a few of your friends and post some on other folks fluff page (look for the active ones, you can tell from their fluff post page). Be careful though don’t do it too frequent that you hit the pink screen of Arrrrh (I’m block from Facebook…) I’ve got that once, I’m wiser now LOL…
3. Easiest way, Visit the fluff zoo, to give endless pets. (endless Munny as well) Or you can place them in the Zoos for others to pet… Yes you didn’t hear that wrongly…. “ZOO”. Here’s one to place your pet in: http://fluff.sugar-licious.net/
4. Food items changes price daily so, if it’s an item that your pet likes (e.g.+10fph, +9fph, +8fph) stock up when prices are low.

Special Post: Exclusive interview with Fluff Sugar-licious owner.

Dedicated to the fans of Sliipiigiin’s (fluff)zoo! This exclusive is for YOU!

When I wrote about my experience in playing fluff, I was asking myself what left a deep impression about that game. The fluff “zoo” was the first thing that pops up. The next thing I know, I contacted Alisa and this is post is the outcome of it.

Here goes the interview!

KC: Brief introduction on why I wrote to her……

Start of the interview.

KC: How the idea came about?

Alisa Brown: When I first found the (fluff) friends application through a friend’s Facebook, I went on the associated forum and saw these great little petting zoo sites. The way to excel in the game was to pet others, and the way to find others was these sites. They were nice, but not very user friendly; each (fluff) opened up in a new window. It took such a long time, and it was hard to keep track of where you were. I had basic knowledge of web design, so I decided to make my own “petting zoo.” I thought, “What if you could just access the petting button, and nothing else?” To avoid becoming too cold and impersonal, (I still wanted to see the person’s pet), the wide iframes came about. They were just high enough to see the petting button that you needed. You could scroll and see the person’s whole page also. To keep load time reasonable, I kept three people per page. And BAM, Sliipiingiin’s Zoo was born!

KC: See IT is great isn’t it. When was the site first launch?

Alisa Brown: I posted on the (fluff) forum in the “Zoos and Groups” topic the day that the site went live, although I was still working on the page banner. That was December 11th, 2007. When I say we’re the first iframes (fluff) zoo, I mean it!

KC: How/Who help you to spread the word around?

Alisa Brown: The (fluff) forum was a great help. Many active users found my url there. Although I never thought to ask people to do it, people would post my url in their speech bubble (before the days of habitat captions!) so anyone who visited their page would also visit the zoo. I was really glad that they were so proud, to post the zoo url on their page!
During the egg hunt in March 2008, my url was thrown around the forum as a place to “hunt” for eggs. That’s when traffic really picked up!

KC: Hey, action speaks louder then words you know! What kept you motivated to keep the site running?

Alisa Brown: Motivation is a difficult thing for me. My goal is to never have a maxed out or inactive pet in the zoo. This is really difficult as I have no advanced method for adding people, simply opening up my FTP and editing pages as I see people that need to be replaced. The thing that keeps me from ever closing the site is that it’s self-sufficient, if a pet is inactive it can still earn the visitor munny, and I’ll fix it when I have time for an update. I’m also motivated by the kind words and compliments the zoo has received. It’s a useful site, and pretty cute too, so I’m proud of that.

KC: Any IT geeks who may volunteer your programming skills bringing her site to greater heights? Drop a post please! Any stats on how many pets have been in zoo thus far?

Alisa Brown: I have no idea how many people have been in the zoo total, but I know that only 450 people are members at any given time, and 1632 people have requested to be added since February 15th, 2008. That blows my mind a little; most of those people are active (fluff)ers, patiently waiting for someone else to max out or go inactive so they can get in!

KC: Wow! That’s cool for a self made site. Well done, give yourself a pet for that. Am I right you fans out there? lol.. Right, any instructions for users who want to be added to the Zoo?

Alisa Brown: This is so important, so many people don’t read this on the site. A direct quote from fluff.sugar-licious.net:

“If you’d like to be added to the (fluff) petting zoo, leave your link at our group!

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7767679509

Post in the List discussion topic. You will have to join first, read the rules in the topic, then (if you can comply with the rules) post your link. Don’t request to be added if you write something like “No Racing” in your profile…I can’t control this if you are added to the zoo, and we are open to all activity here!”

KC: See! You need to read instructions… Be sure you join the group first. Hmm, since I had an exclusive, er hmm is there any change for me to cut those queues and get myself an honor spot or something to have my pet F1 racing to 5000 pets again Opps just trying my luck…LOL…
Hey, do you know Singapore is making history as well organizing the sport’s first-ever night race! “2008 FORMULA 1™ Singapore Grand Prix on September 28” Wow there’s a lot of first events here in this post isn’t it? First iframe zoo, first-ever F1 night race, My first blog..heehee sorry couldn’t help it. Cool!

Well, this interview is indeed an enjoyable one, any parting words for your fans, before we come to the end of post.

Alisa Brown: This site has been amazing to create, and I hope it retains its popularity even as other zoo sites pop up. Sliipiingiin says he deserves the fame. (o.-)*

KC: Hmm, before we truly sign off, come to think of it “Sliipiingiin” and the spelling looks a little like “Sipping Gin” erm what were you drinking then…was it an unintentional typo ;>

Alisa Brown: Sliipiingiin is actually pronounced “Sleeping In” in my head, although I think I like your pronounciation better! Although my drink of choice wouldn’t be gin, personally, I leave that one to my dad.

KC: LOL, right ok fans that’s all we have for you. Bye fans! This is truly the end of post. KC signing off.
