F.A.Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Do the pets in this shop Grow?
A: Yup, unless you purchase a dog in an adult stage or it specifically says somewhere within the post that it will not grow. On occaision there might be a problem with getting and certing the next stage of growth for your pet, but be assured that it will come! Dogs that will grow are generally sold in the 'newling' stage, a picture of a bone colored differently.
Q: Can the pets in this shop Breed?
A: Yes again! They're actually moreso meant for the breeding portion. The large amount of lineart available gives a wide variety of possibilities!
Q: How do I get a pet?
A: Well, there's a few different ways, most of which you'll have to pay for one. Flatsales happen around once a month to dogs of different sizes and variances, some of them grow and some of them don't. Raffles are a bit like playing the lottery, but if you don't have a lot of gold it's a good way to try for a pet. Auctions are for special pets that go to the highest bidder.
Other than that there are Special Events, which will be determined at the time of their placement. Examples of special events are Roleplaying Challenges, in which case the person with the best story wins the pet, and Bumping Challenges, where the person with the largest amount of legitimate bumps is given the pet.
You can also buy a Custom Pet, which is a little more expensive, but you generally get what you want that way!
Q: Can I roleplay?
A: Yes. I like it when people roleplay, to the point where I get ahead of myself and want this to be a roleplaying place, but as a shop it can't really be without failure. So, if you want to roleplay, you go right ahead, and I'll leave you to it. Whatever happens is up to your imagination!
For a general idea on setting etc check the 'Story' post (#3).
Q: If I buy a pet, can I choose which cert they're on?
A: YES! There are 4 different colored (but generally the same-looking) certs to choose from. A Blue, Pink, Green, and Purple. If you don't pick one, I'll pick the cert closest to your dog's color, but if you want to choose for yourself please let me know!
Q: I see there's a I.D. section on the cert. What's that for?
A: The I.D. section is so that I can easily locate your dog within my files if I need to reference it for a breeding. I save your certed dog as it's I.D. so that they are not only in order, but easy to locate. The I.D. is not in any way a form of identifying your dog in the roleplay world, it's just for me.
Q: There's also a Parents section on the cert. What's that for?
A: It's so that I know who'se the parents of your dog. On occaision I will look at not only the parents, but the grandparents of some dogs to see what is more likely to happen with the appearance and colors of your pups. It is a bit difficult to fully explain, but be assured that it goes towards a potentially more accurate breeding.
Q: How do I see what my pet looks like? I missed the posting of it's growing.
A: It's new stage, or current stage, will be it's picture in the owner's list (Tribes post). There should be a small link, likely your dog's name, that when clicked will bring you to their picture in a new window.
Q: How do I see the last stage?
A: The last stage of your dog will be gone when it is replaced with it's current stage, so if you'd like to keep the stages before last please save them to your own computer!
Q: How many pups do you get for a breeding?
A: 2 to 6, generally, all growing.
Q: How long to dogs stay in stages before moving on?
A: See 'Stages' Post for more details on that one.
Q: How do I choose custom lineart?
A: There is a (crowded) chart with all the linearts and numbers on them in the Stages post. You may refer to the lineart by it's number or breed name.
Q: I have a Small dog and a Large dog, why can't they breed?
A: Dogs can only breed with dogs 1 size above and below, for physically obvious reasons.
Q: Can I sell my dog?
A: Yes, but only so long as it isn't for a profit. What you paid for it is the max of what I will allow the pet to be resold for. That would be making a profit off of my art, which is scamming me, which I dislike very much. If you are caught doing that I will blacklist you. You can also sell your pups, which is explained in more detail under 'Breeding'.
Q: Can I be linked to you?
A: Yeah! Just PM me with a banner of yours and a link to your shop (or a url if you know what you're doing) and I'll put you under links! If you want my banner, PM me also.
