Q: Who Runs this game?
A: This game was originally opened in 2000 under the name "Friends for Ever", and was run by a person named Cassidy. On November 26, 2003, two players of that game, Krisalyn & Cosette reopened the game. In January of 2004 they brought Alice on as a co-manager. In Spring of 2005 the game closed due to inactivity and the crazy university/college schedules of the owners. In January of 2008 Alice, got permission to re-open the game.

Q: How much does it cost to play?
A: Nothing, the game is free

Q: When do I get my password? Where do I log in?
A: We don't have the capabilities to be a "log in" game at this time. All game activity is processed by Alice or a helper. The only log in area we have is a records area acessible off the member listing page. This is for members who have bred a litter or have had some health testing done on their dogs. No game play is done VIA password.

Q: Do you have show dogs in Real Life?
A: No, part of the reason for this game is our obsession with Show Dogs, and the fact that we can't have one.

Q: Is there anything I can do to help you run the game?
A: Not at this time. What you can do is to be patient in waiting for responses to your requests and not sending in too many at one time.

Q: My Parent/Guardian would like to join the message board as an observer, is this allowed?
A: Absolutely! Just have your parent or guardian email the game at bis_game@yahoo.com when they register with on the message board system, and ask them to provide the user name they have signed up with so we can be sure to approve their account. We understand the the Internet is can be a very dangerous place, and your parents are just looking out for you, so we will be happy to answer any questions your parent/guardian may have about the game.

Q: You seam to be very strict with subject lines for email, why?
A: Cosette, although not an owner of the game anymore, is helping Alice with some of the day to day workings of the game. She is responsible for Construction, Supplies and occasionally she'll help with Vetting and Feeding. And Alice is responsible for the rest. The subject lines allow them to know which email messages they need to open, and which ones they can just leave alone. You'd be surprised at how much time it saves.

Q: Why do you have a disclaimer at the top and bottom of every page & require us to have one on our pages as well?
A: Some people might have a hard time distinguishing between a real kennel site & one made for use in a game such as this (it has happened before). The disclaimer helps identify that everything is fictional, and shouldn't be thought as being real.

Q: What kennel names are used by the Game Administration?
A: The game administration uses 2 kennel names on dogs. "BIS" is for starter dogs, and the seldom seen "BestShow" is for puppies bred in the game whose breeders did not get the names to the game (& therefore the puppies registered) before date they were given.

Q: What breeds are allowed in the game?
A: Only breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club.
