Update November 1, 2009 – No more free plushies! Looks like the Pet Society Police caught up to us, so I’ve inactivated the hyperlinks from this post. Oh, well it was fun while it lasted. I’ve left the original story below only for archiving purposes.

Psst! Get your free deer plushies now. Go to http://bit.ly/1deer4u. Hurry, before the Pet Society Police get wind of this. Luckily, it’s Friday, past 5 p.m. in London now, so maybe we’ll have all weekend to take advantage of whatever glitch is in the system.

The free deer link, http://bit.ly/1deer4u, will log you into Facebook and Pet Society. You’ll find a purple box with the deer inside, along with this note:

deerplushiemessage

Guess what, I don’t have a friend named Steward! And neither do you probably. But you can get the deer for free, no purchase of Playfish Cash required, and no dealing with any Hideeni nonsense. No downloading of cheat engines. Just click, click, click and ta-da! Little Bambi appears in your room.

I admit, for a moment, I felt like a thief or a deer-napper. I’ve never before cheated in this game. But really, the deer is soooo cute! How could I resist?

Please note, only one plushie per customer klepto.

More Hideeni Horror

Hideeni, that pesky hooligan is causing a ruckus in the Pet Society village. Several readers have reported that Hideeni was stalking their pets and even—gasp!—trying to seduce them in bed. Today, I too spotted some terrible acts of transgression.

Warning: Some of these pictures are eh-hem, sensitive.

First, when I visited my friend Cookiedough, I saw them in a passionate embrace. Young Cookiedough was about to give up her pet-ginity!

Then, as I was visiting another friend, Hideeni forced himself upon Sushi! Ewww!!

Sushi cried for help, but his friend Sookie, who’d been on the latest goji berry diet, had turned into a skeleton and collapsed.

Wake up! Wake up! Help! Help!

Finally, Sookie woke up, saw the horror and sprang into action. She stomped on the horrible Hideeni and saved the day! Yippee!

Hideeni – Questions and Answers

Some people are confused by the new Hideeni character that appeared this past weekend in Pet Society. Perhaps you found Hideeni at a friend’s house. Now what? How do you get the puppy?

Here are typical Q & As:

1. Where do I find Hideeni? Do I have to look in every room of a house?

  • Players have found him in shops, in friends’ houses and in their own homes. I found him while visiting a friend. He was not in the first room, but in the third or fourth, so yeah, a little digging around might be necessary.

2. I see that you have a puppy plushie. Can you send it to me?

  • Sorry, I can’t. The game forbids me to give the puppy as a gift. See the next question for further details.
    nogift

3. I found Hideeni. But where’s the puppy?

  • You don’t get the puppy when you find Hideeni. You get the puppy when your friends find Hideeni and publish the story in their Facebook feed.

     

  • Click Facebook > Home to see your Newsfeed. This is the list of your friends’ news, NOT your own news.
    newsfeed

     

  • Scroll down the page until you find a message like this. Then click “Accept free gift.”
    puppy

     

  • Then go into Pet Society, and you will find a purple box with the puppy inside.
    purplegift

4. Can I get more than one puppy?

  • No. Don’t be so damn greedy. In China, couples are allowed only one child. You can live with one plushie, OK?

5. I found Hideeni. Who do I choose to give the puppy to?

  • When you publish your story of finding Hideeni, ALL of your friends have the chance to collect the puppy. Isn’t that nice? This is an improvement over the Stickers feature, where only a select number of your friends got a gift. However, it also means broadcasting your news to all your non-Pet Society friends.

6. Why is Hideeni so ugly?

  • My friend Brisa called him an “ugly piñata.” Another player said that he’s “cute, but I wouldn’t want to hang out with him.” Yet another said, “He scared the golden poo out of me!” I too was freaked out by him, but now that the initial shock has worn off, he’s actually starting to grow on me. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What appears ugly to one person is gorgeous to another. Well…maybe not gorgeous but more like, eh…he’ll do. Thank goodness for that, otherwise, Sushi may never find the pet of his dreams. ;)

Hideeni – Cuddly or Creepy?

Ack! It’s what’s his name—Houdini, Hideeni, Hideous! My pet Sushi was just visiting a friend when all of a sudden, the creature sprang out of nowhere. Sushi was so frightened that he bolted for the door and nearly pooed in his pants.

I can’t decide who is scarier in this scene—the masked, white-haired witch or Hideeni. But I did give into Playfish’s viral marketing scheme and published my status so that friends could collect Hideeni’s puppy plushie. It was the first time I ever published a status report from Pet Society.

Up til now, I was a closet Pet Societyholic. But now EVERYONE knows. What’s worse, this happened on a FRIDAY night when I should have been out, mingling with exciting, dynamic people at exciting, dynamic parties. Oh, shame. Shame.

What do you think of Hideeni? Cute, creepy or just plain embarrassing?

How Much Money Do You Spend in Pet Society?

playfishcash

Virtual goods is big bu$iness. According to an industry report, Playfish is expected to earn $30 million this year from their games. Ca-ching! Ca-ching! Quite impressive during a global recession.

Many people are boggled by the idea of paying for virtual goods. “Pet Society isn’t real,” is a typical argument. Well, neither are movies. Yet, we routinely pay anywhere from $3.99 for a DVD rental to $10 at the cinema to watch make-believe stories that are usually predictable. People pay for fantasy and entertainment. It is nothing new.

A friend of mine, Luxe, does purchase Playfish cash regularly. However, she suspects that people who are active in the forums and blogs are not spending real money on Pet Society. If they get cash goods, such as the Halloween Fish Biscuit, they do it through trading. Is this true? Let us know.

Finally, if you’re wondering if it’s worth filling out those annoying surveys for free Playfish coins, contributing blogger Kavya did a story a few months ago on that very topic. We recommend the car insurance survey as we’ve both had success with that one.

Pet Society Spa, Mud Face Mask

Do you blame us for getting a little “work” done? There are so many fashionistas and Next Top Models in Pet Society that we’re feeling the pressure to keep up! If you’re also in need of a facial, the mud face mask is available in the Gold Mystery Boxes.

(Apologies to Ragil for turning her mummy into a plastic surgery victim.)

What’s the likelihood of running into a pet that looks exactly like yours? Chumchum, a programmer, explains that finding a lookalike depends on the number of choices at the stylist. Let’s suppose there are 2 colors and 3 heads you can pick from. How many possibilities will you get? The answer: 2 x 3 = 6.

However, this is the reality at the Pet Society Stylist:

Color: 31 choices
Head: 20
Ears: 22
Face: 37
Nose: 22
Eyebrows: 24
Eyes: 36
Mouth: 20

31 x 20 x 22 x 37 x 22 x 24 x 36 x 20 = 191,859,148,800

Wow! Over 191 billion possibilities! This means it is very, very, very unlikely that you run into your clone. In fact, it’s more likely that you will win a lottery or marry Brad Pitt or be adopted by Angelina.

Still, it’s always fun to see pets that look like family. Here are some images sent in by readers.

And don’t forget, I’m now looking for spooky or funny Halloween pictures for a contest. Deadline is Oct 25.

halloweenfishbiscuit Earlier this week, some spooky new fish were released into the pond. These are limited edition fish, available until November 2 and can only be caught with the Halloween Fish Biscuit from the Cash Shop (shown left). I have to say, the new fish are very impressive and for the first time in this game, I’m tempted to pay real money so I can catch some. Which is your favorite Halloween Fish?

Fashion Makeover in Pet Society

Cupcake is a pet in Portland, Oregon, who came to us looking sad and tired. A high school student juggling seven classes and after-school sports, Cupcake doesn’t have time for fashion. She usually wears sweatshirts and baseball hats and doesn’t have a good sense of color. “Help me!” she says.

To the rescue is Alfonso, a style guru from Mexico City. Having worked with pet stars Penelopoppy Cruz and Gael Garcia Bernaldini, Alfonso takes a hard look at Cupcake. “You need to take a shower, honey,” he says. “I can’t even see you because of the flies buzzing around the room!”

alfonso

After a scrubbing, Alfonso takes Cupcake to the clothing boutique, where she immediately tries on the Mermaid Dress.

Alfonso shakes his head. “Don’t try to be Beyonce,” he says. “It doesn’t work for you. You need more coverage. Besides, the lavendar clashes with your orange skintone.” He hands her a white skirt with denim jacket (600 coins), soft boots (100), a red bow (200) and perfect white pearls (800).

He then takes her to the beauty shop and trims her whiskers. He brightens her eyes with black liner and mascara. The result? Ta-da!
