Animal Boyfriend Play Guide- General Politeness Tips

There’s several things in Animal Boyfriend that are considered polite and rude behavior. Most people follow the common courtesy of returning advice, recommendations, socializations, JIN, and comments (A/R/S/J/C), but there’s a few other nuances to keep in mind.

Memos

One big point for being polite is being mindful of memos. This applies to what you put in yours and taking the time to read what is in other’s. You’ll see lots of different things listed or requested in the student’s memos. Most of them will either list what they want/don’t want or have a role play going (RP) going with another player. A fair amount of the RPs that you’ll encounter are sexual in nature and have as explicit content as the game’s filters will allow, but some of them are PG13. If you are doing an RP with another player, please leave the sex out. The audience in Animal Boyfriend (AB) is varied and there are quite a few that are offended or too young to be exposed to this content. If you wish to have an RP that is sexual, simply take it to one of the many social media or messaging places. Aside from RPs, you’ll also see the various notes about what players want you to do with their students. These are very important to pay attention too. ‘Going too fast’ is NOT an excuse for laziness, disrespect, or inability to pay attention. There are several reasons why people will not want various things done. If you are trying to rank in the Daily Socializer Ranking (DSR), then please be sure to check the comment option (great, thanks, sorry) BEFORE you click anything else. If you break your habit of first clicking advice or rec, you’ll be able to catch the memo requests and people will be more likely to be happy with you and return your socialization.

Advice

The reason people get so upset over unwanted advice is because the game actually punishes you for missing it. If you don’t cheer your student before they finish work/study, their affection will drastically drop. Remember AB does not have notifications like the other Ambition Games do so people don’t know they received advice. When affection drops, you will miss level up events. If you miss a level up event, then your boy will not confess. The conversations also change when affection lowers, but missing the confessions is the number one reason why people do not want advice at certain times. Please, please be mindful of this and do not let advice be the first thing you click on when visiting other students. You’ll see memos like noA@200 or <10min, A@200 or <10min okay, noA@<10min, noA!, no advice!, and so on to indicate the type of advice people want. Also remember if you see busy, zzz, asleep, off, and things like this then the person is not on the game and may not be able to check their boy. Do not advice in this instance either.

Recommendations

One of the other things you’ll see in people’s memos are requests about how they’d like their recommendations (rec/s). There many people who are trying to level and will want a full rec and many people that do not like recs and can’t afford to buy the rec blocking. If you see a request for a full rec, please honor it. This is probably someone trying to level as quickly as possible, or someone who just likes seeing their boy dressed up. More frequently you’ll see things like ‘no face/hair rec’. This means they player wants an accessory only rec. The main reason for this request is they want their boys to look like the character they created, but they don’t mind seeing different outfits on them. A few people are like myself and can’t stand recs. To be mean for a moment here, I don’t like recs because many people just throw whatever items they recently got on their boys with no regards to aesthetics (i.e. they look like someone went to a thrift store and are trying to make themselves into an ugly clothes monster….). I can buy rec blocking every month, but not everyone can so please if someone has no recs in their memos, please don’t give them a rec.

One other thing on recs, giving one items recs is considered rude. Granted there isn’t a penalty for players that get or give one item recs like there is in Dream Girlfriend, but it’s still considered rude.

JIN

Another thing you might see is requests for JIN. Though most people anymore have hoards of the stuff (I’m sitting over 100,000 JIN…) you’ll see newer players asking for this. You don’t have to buy something off a student and give them JIN if you don’t want to, but it is considered courteous. Also, if someone gives you JIN, it’s considered polite to return the favor and buy something from them as well.

Socializations

The final things to keep in mind are around socializations (socs). There isn’t as much drama in the game around this as there used to be, but there’s a few things that are considered common courtesies and no nos. One that bugs me is don’t soc mule accounts (accounts that no one plays). You’ll see a lot of these guys on the DSR and it drives me nuts because those shiny gacha tickets can go to accounts that are actually played and not to accounts that no one uses. Also, it is polite to return socs. Granted if you are busy this might not happen (I’m really bad about returning socs just ‘cause I don’t have time for it). Some weird no nos about socing are called soc stealing. The DSR competition isn’t what it used to be and I haven’t seen as much drama around it as there used to be so I’m guessing this isn’t as much of a thing, but people used to get their garters in a bunch if you soc stole or soc stalked. Basically soc stealing or soc stalking is going through someone’s memos and socing everyone that gives them a soc, advise, rec, or comment. Silly yes, but at the time this was a big thing because you needed over 9,000 (no pun intended) socs to beat out the inactive accounts and get the top DSR slots. So competition like that made some people antsy.

Retaliation

So, if you’ve ever gotten that hateful player that changed their name to something to specifically insult you and called you out in their memos, chances are you were rude enough to ignore that hateful player’s memos and they are trying to get back at you. I consider both sides at fault here and both players to be rude, but you shouldn’t be too mean about the players that ignore other’s memos. Honestly there are people that will purposely do exactly what your memos say you don’t want. I’ve been given two ‘excuses’ for this behavior. One is ‘no one pays attention to my memos so I purposefully ignore other’s memos’ and the the other is ‘I only do it to rude players’. No matter the justification, don’t disregard memos. Aside from being disrespectful, there are in game penalties for missing things like cheering. Be nice everyone and respect one another.

Animal Boyfriend Play Guide - Currency

This is the currency used by ‘paid’ players to purchase special items, play gachas, and access premium features. There are two ways to get G; by buying it or doing free offers. Buying it is the easiest way to get this currency, but the free offers will give you a decent amount. As a free player the best way to get G is by doing a few free offers each day and take advantage of any double TapJoy campaigns. One other more creative way to earn G is with the Google Opinion Rewards app. This will grant you 0.10-1.00$ in Google credit which you can use to buy things in apps. The downside to this is it can’t be used in the Apple App Store.

This is the currency used by ‘free’ play. You can earn this from working, recycling items, daily challenges, daily login, daily omikuji, or via event drops. The amount of K you earn from work is based on the type and length of work you do. Premium subjects will earn the most K, but cost G to unlock. Special work will also earn a higher amount of K. Recycling your duplicate items will earn you 25-50 K per item. Events often drop 10-100 K for answers to choices and 500-1,000 K for achievement awards. The daily things will grant you 50-1,000 K.

JIN

This type of currency is a bit different from the others as you can not buy it or work to earn it. You gain JIN from buying items, people buying items from you, events, daily login, daily challenges, or daily omikuji. Spending 1,000 K or 100 G will earn you 2 JIN. There’s not any easy way to earn this type of currency, but players that have been playing for a long time will often have plenty of K to use to buy items from you and help you earn it. This is the best and fastest way to earn JIN. If you have a goal amount, leave a note in your memos and wear K items for people to buy from you. Most players will buy a few items to help you out. It is considered good manners to return any JIN by buying from the people who bought from you.
