Don't worry about it too much for now. I've hit a.. problem where people are using the system outside of the way I had intended it (ie, threads were supposed to be registered after post 1, and not after the user's hit their desired amount - this isn't aimed at previously existing threads though!), so I've had to put a pause on that thread so I can work out how to fix it, without unbalancing the system. That will be through either restricting how many posts the RP can have when it's submitted or... by swapping the system around and letting people submit when they're ready to be rolled for. I wouldn't mind feedback on this to be honest (like with breedings, do we already have too many timed features etc), but obviously pet drop rates would need to be balanced for the latter.

Previous efforts will be rewarded once I close said loophole, and I am really sorry about the wait!

I think submitting when a thread is ready makes more sense. I actually thought that was how it was supposed to work when I first read about the new system.
Crossing my heart
Open wide
You're my crystal and clover
All of me
Honestly
Is dedicated to hold you

Swear to God
Double knot
What would you do if I stole you tonight? (Ahh ahh)
Why waste time? (Ahh ahh)

'Cause the world goes on without us
It doesn't matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I'm melting into you
'Cause I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms

Okay so. Yes. I'm still in the process of changing all the details in all of the threads so bear with me but, here's how it's going to go.
Originally the system wasn't supposed to be changed, the new thread was just to catalog all the hunts. But I've listened to feedback and I do agree, I need to step up and address every single roleplay thread somehow whether it's a win or lose, because well... lets face it, it's kinda disheartening when I don't reply and I totally get that.
SO. New stuff. Hunts have been renamed to Explorations, to better fit the nature of them (that is, your pet travels out scouts the land, Rick sends a team out to secure the area and lets you know what you've found). The Saloon is for turning in completed threads. You can still keep replying of course, but once it's there I'll be making an effort to respond asap. However, in order to balance it a little, I'm limiting thread submissions to one thread every two weeks. Explorations must have at least 1 post within a 1 week time frame of being submitted (ie, if a Explorations is submitted on the 8th of July, there must be a post that is dated between the 1st and 8th of July onwards). There is no overall time frame however.

I'm super sorry about the delay but I'm now currently working through the current threads and I will be replying to all that fulfill the date requirements. If I skip you, it's because you have not made a post that falls within the required time frame.

Please let me know if you have questions/further clarification or let me know if there's something I've stated that doesn't make sense!

I like this system a lot better. This makes more sense on all sides, I think. Question:

If we submit a thread and you deem it unsuccessful (or even successful) what are the requirements for resubmit sion of the same thread?

It's not really much different, you'll need to wait the two weeks and then make sure you fulfill the recent post requirement when you go to resubmit it. Posts made before the first RE post will count towards what rarity will appear but will not count towards the pet capture bonus.
And I believe it's stated under the rules but to clarify, the cooldown starts from when you submit it, as to not disadvantage anyone due to me needing some time to work it out!

As the air gets cooler, all of the summer pets have retreated and those pets exclusive to Halloween have started popping up! All of these will be familiar to you guys, plus the Corpse Kuhna will be making it's return as a permanent addition to the Fall pet roster.

Users can also find that Rick updated the records to reflect the new species found over the course of Summer! All the current Summer pets were found, so congrats! There may be more in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

Also quickly posting to say that the FAQ is up and the Exploration guide has been updated to suit the new rules. Feel free to ask more questions if necessary though!

To celebrate Halloween, I'm running a small simple Haunted House! It won't be as involved as previous years, but there's a chance for all sorts of prizes including retro pets and CP (in case you don't quite get enough from the SS). Depending on the turn out, I may throw some other cool things in as well. It's super easy, all you do is roleplay!
Come over and check it out!

Quick question, can we have multiple parties inside the house? I wanted to do two parties of two characters and they meet up later in the house by accident.

I'm going to have to say no, sorry. Just because it allows an opportunity to farm the two back zones (Purple & Blue) at the same time, without needing to move between the two areas. You can count it as posts for the room the primary party is currently in, but yeah. Only keep your posts to one area unless you're directly next to an accessible area.

ALSO. Seems like there was a lot of confusion over the post tracking. The idea is, I don't want to be trawling through 10 pages of 15 users' posts trying to work out what is going on. SO. I'm going to need you to list your entire post count, at the bottom of every post. And I've already bolded this in the rules, but just to state again, I don't need you to track rooms, just zones. Rooms being identifiable as letters: (A), (B) and zones being identifiable as colors (Orange, Red).

Something like this should do:
Orange Zone: 10
Red Zone: 0 (you don't actually have to include a zone if you've never been in it but, just to make a point)
Green Zone: 3
Blue Zone: 5
Grey Zone: 0
Purple Zone: 0

Total post counts are kinda irrelevant but if you need it for personal reference, go for it.

Re: :.:Random Event Updates:.: (10/10 RULE CLARIFICATION)

Postby Nyxia » 10/11/2016 12:25 PM

So in line with Mojave's question. If I want to add a couple of characters to the one's I already have, do I have to swap out the pair I have now?

Here's what I want to do: Have two other character's add to the two I already have, though I want to say they were already inside the house wandering around. They would have no posts in any other place but where my two characters already are (they aren't a seperate party, but an addition to the current one). Would that be okay, or no?


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

Nope, there's no restrictions regarding the characters in your roleplay c: If you want to add people to the party or take them out, that's totally fine!

Alright guys! I'm sending out prizes soon so hang tight <3 I'm sorry for the delay, I had to organize and clear a few things, namely this cute critter above the post! It's called an Evernight and was awarded to everyone who participated and had 5 or more posts!

Again, I'll be sending out prizes soon, so expect to see those in your inbox if you haven't got them already. If there's any issues, or I missed you please PM me! I'm only human (or am I eheheh) and there's a very big chance I may have missed someone! I hope you enjoyed and I really want to thank those who participated <3 It's definitely motivating to see that, and you can all definitely expect more events in the future.

So, I'd like to finally introduce you to our newest species, the Jirbii! This little guy is known as a Dawn Jirbii and congrats to MillietheWarrior for finding the first one!
These strange things can be found exclusively in Wilt'no right now, and they share the same item as the Wombear currently. So if you're after one, take your Digging Tools to Wilt'no Desert today. And just as a heads up, there's still one more color to be discovered!

Their pet page, along with description and stats is now live on the main website. And I'd also like to give Silverin an big thanks for creating the pet for us c:
