[RULES:]
RULE #1- RULE OF ALL RULES!!! Do not steal my art! I, above all else, hate art thieves. I've done the drawing, inking and coloring of each and every single god and goddess, which was a lot of hard work! I do not appreciate it being used without permission! If I find my art being used anywhere other than the owner's journal or signature, you will IMMEDIATELY be reported to the admins so they may properly take care of it.
#2- There will be no reselling, trading, or giving away of an already adopted god or goddess without my explicit permission! I find this to be another form of art theft!
#3- Please no whining or griping about the prices of my adoptables, especially in this thread. I've worked hard on the drawings, inking and coloring of each individual adoptable, as well as planned everything out for a long time on how to sell these adoptables. I feel my flat sales prices are reasonable in compairison to all of this. I will give a fair heads-up that they *will* be a bit more than most adoptables.
#4- Please DO NOT PM ME about buying or auctioning Gods or Goddesses! Only current owners of a god or goddess may PM me if they wish to talk about roleplaying or have a question.
#5- Flat Sales are first come, first serve. I'm sorry if you've missed out on a specific god or goddess you wish to have, since there will only be 1 of each god or goddess sold ever. However, if you still wish to make a purchase, bookmark my thread and look for future auctions or flat sales. (I plan on getting most all of the well-known gods and goddesses done, even some of the lesser known)
#6- There will be no co-owning of pets. This isn't so much a big deal as the rest of the rules, but I still believe there should be 1 pet per person. I'm not sure I could keep track of 2 or more people owning one God or Goddess.
[F.A.Q.:]
Q1.) Are the adoptables breedable?
A1.) No. My Egyptian Adoptables are Changeable and Roleplayable, but there will be no breeding amongst them. I know in real Egyptian mythology, the Gods and Goddesses Bred and had children amongst themselves, but I found the mythology of it to be WAY to complicated to have breeding going on.
Q2.) How do we Roleplay with our adoptables if they don't have stats?
A2.) Again, it was a complication factor. Your Gods and Goddesses will be roleplayable by a journal each owner will keep. I will also be setting up an 'Egyptian Tomb Room' Thread where owners may free-form roleplay with their adoptables with other owners.
Q3.) Do we have to roleplay with our adoptable? Can't we just buy one and show it off in our sig because it's pretty?
A3.) Of course not! Roleplaying is optional. I realize some people just don't have the time to keep a journal or play in the Tomb Room Thread, but would like to just own one of the Egyptian Gods or Goddesses. All the buyer has to do is state whether they want to RP or not when they buy an adoptable. (I'm sure the RP-ing part of my adoptables will be more fun, though, if more people opt to RP with them.
wink )
Q4.) If we choose to roleplay, how do we keep a journal?
A4.) It's actually quite easy. Once you are the brand new owner of a God or Goddess, I will start a thread in the 'Breedable/Changing Pets Roleplay' section of Gaia. This journal can be set up any way you want, and basically you can say or do whatever you want in it. Look at is as the story of how you came to purchase your god or goddess (maybe play off the original sotryline I've created) and how you raise them, or events you and your god or goddess went through. It's limited only by your imagination.
Q5.) How and when will my adoptable change to it's next stage in life?
A5.) This depends on, first of all, if you are role-playing with it or not. If you are NOT roleplaying with your adoptable, and have chosen to just own it because you like it, or show it off in your signature, it will most likely change to the next form in 3-4 weeks. If you have chosen to roleplay with your god or goddess, I will be checking in on your journal often to see how you are raising your adoptable, and depending on what you've done, I will find a correct time to change it to it's next form. (Keep in mind, though, that the LEAST amount of time I will change your adoptable in is 3 weeks. I can't have the adoptable rushing through all 4 stages of it's life in a week or 2
sweatdrop )
Q6.) Where do we find the roleplaying thread?
A6.) Right
HERE. This is the thread everyone will use to free form RP with their god or goddess. If you want to view the journals of those who are roleplaying with one, the links to their journals are found in the Owners section of the shop.
Q7.) Can I pay for the adoptable in installments?
A7.) No. I hate to sound so untrustworthy, but I'd prefer you gave me the payment in one lump sum. I really don't want to have to deal with an unpaying customer.
Q8.) Do you accept any items or letters as payment if I don't have the gold?
A8.) No. I prefer pure gold. I
might make an occaisional acception here in the case of letters, but it all depends on what the letter is.
Q9.) Can we own or buy more than one adoptable?
A9.) I never thought about this when I first opened the shop, but I'm thinking of limiting to 1 god/goddess per person, so that it's only fair to everyone who wants to own one.
Any further questions or rules that may pop up over time, I will add as I go. Thanks for any help on these you might give. ^_^
