∙ Forewarning
    I have a life outside of Nieken (ino, shocking rite).
    In this regard, growings and sales will be sparse and entirely based on my schedule.
    Please do not attempt to get one of them if you cannot handle this.

06∙08∙08 ∙ So I figure I should keep you all a bit more in the loop. Firstly, I've started up a new shop with lineart I've had for a few years now. I've done some looking into why I have trouble keeping activity up in my shops, and I think that having a manger is one of the most beneficial things for me. So I'm trying it out with this new shop; I've also hired a bunch of staff to help maintain it. As such, I'm taking a short hiatus from Nieken, but will be back soon. If you have any questions for me in regards to Nieken, feel free to PM my main account. As far as the customs go, I have every intention of doing them when I am back, but if you don't want to wait that long, I don't mind if you want to withdraw. I'm sorry for making you wait and disappearing (again) on you like this!
04∙12∙08 ∙ Free Raffle, post 1! Newbie Flat, check attainment post! Growings, page 175!
04∙12∙08 ∙ Hey everyone! Atriz here. Good news is that everything is done. Breedings are done, growings are done, events are ready. The only problem is that I've found myself extremely busy balancing my full-time job with a social life, my websites, and volunteering. Unfortunately, Gaia is on the bottom of my priorities. The good news is that I won't be busy long and should soon have the stamina and desire to get everything going. And it won't take long because mostly everything is ready!
03∙10∙08 ∙ Another breeding slot open!? It's a Rogue Breeding! Small cost, and eggs are done by Archnasa. Check out the reproduction section!
03∙05∙08 ∙ With some new breedings done, the third and final egg has been placed up for a newbie RP contest! Be sure to go take a look; who knows, the little golden egg could be yours! Click here to visit the contest!
03∙02∙08 ∙ New stuff on the go! A breeding slot has been opened, and is first come, first served. Furthermore, we are looking to hire some colorists in the future. Please check out the recruitment post!
03∙01∙08 ∙ New year, new ideas, new failures! Speaking of failures, those cruddy banners have been replaced by ones I deemed slightly less cruddy. Yay!


10∙15∙07 ∙ I mades new banners and theengs. Don't know why. Just did. 8D
06∙22∙07 ∙ ELEMENTAL EVENT! Click here!
04∙14∙07 ∙ Half price customs, today and tomorrow only!
02∙12∙07 ∙ I wonder what is going on... on page 71!
02∙01∙07 ∙ Everyone, please welcome jupebox to the staff! Yaaay! (page 50)
01∙30∙07 ∙ And so I put customs up for 50% for the first person to buy each. But they are gone now! D: Congrats/thanks to those who ordered them!
01∙24∙07 ∙ Okiedokie! So I have reshuffled all of the customs down, so that the price for an egg through alpha is 500k. Yes, I am well aware that the majority wished for around 300k, but that is not what customs are for (in my opinion). I've always believed that customs shouldn't apply to just everyone who wants to buy one, but is instead a method for you to get what you want without hassle. It's also there as a goal, and shouldn't be achieved without a bit of work. This being said, the current price is not etched in stone. I will continue to fluctuate the price based on what I feel is a good goal and accords with how much free time I have. <3
01∙23∙07 ∙ So we've got things well underwaykindayuh. So congrats to poetical rain (who won the auction pretty) and slann` (who won the raffle pretty)! Also congrats to oOo_shinobu_oOo for being around the thread when I decided to randomly offer one to the next poster. XD Just a quick update now - I want to know you opinions on customs and custom pricing. I'd like to know what you look for in the pricing. Please do this by answering the poll, and/or stating an opinion in the thread. I appreciate the help! XD On another note, I am bringing in rock thingers to enhance nienies. Like the typical stuffz - grow, shrink, freeze, return to normal, breed... ( and yes, I did begin to use these in the past on another shop, but I removed them before selling the shop (seeing as I commissioned them like right beforehand) and that was that. XD )
01∙15∙07 ∙ Lolwhut. We're just getting started up. let me know if you spot anything a little wacky!

One day, after buying a dresser from a rather shady Home Furnishings store...
Seif: OMFG ISH 1337!
Cali:It's...so tacky O__O
Seif: *narrows eyes* Do you see...this lovely pink fuzz? The *reaches out to pull drawer knob* amazing quality of... O__O
Cali:...dude. The knob just fell off.
Seif: *blink* It's...ahh...IT WAS THE WIND! ;__; Y'see? *pulls off the rest of the knobs*
Cali:I hope you still have the receipt.



Three days later...
Cali:I thought I quite blatantly told you to return this...fuzzy pink hell. Seif. Seif?
Seif: Holdon, I'm in the bathroom o.o;; Besides, I don't think you can return things to the Black Market...
Cali:...*shudders at the thought of Seif in a bathroom* Dude, you didn't put the knobs back on. stare *picks one up* Black and white certainly doesn't match hot pink. *shakes head* Why, in my day, we made colors ma--Hey, um, Seif, your knob is like steami--




BAMF
*fog fills the room*




The following convo takes place in a completely fog-opaque room. That is, Cali and Seif are totally blind.
Seif: *runs in* I know you didn't like the dresser...BUT YA DIDN'T HAVE TA SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST IT YA KNOW. scream
Cali:WHAT? OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE A VAST STORE OF WMDs. O__O HEH. HEHEH. *paranoid*
Seif: There's one right on your face! =O
Cali:Whaat? WHERE? ;__; *claws at face*
Seif: -.-;;



And the fog clears away to reveal...
Cali:OMFG BOMB!
Seif: OMFG YOUR HEAD IS A SOFA CUSHION!
Cali:Nuh-uh. You sold the sofa to buy the hell-dresser.
Seif: Why you--
Fuzzy Blue Blob atop Cali's face: Meeru? o.O;;
Cali:Eee! HELL-BEAST!
*Cali's head promptly falls off*
Seif: NUUUU! DEAR LORD, WHY?!
Cali:That was like the blobbish-thing, buddy. Not my head. *cough*TARD*uncough*
Seif: Oh. Really? Darn.
*Cali's pants fall off*
Seif: OH DEAR LORD NO NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT! *runs away in blind screeching terror*
Cali:Dun worry, I'm wearing man-boxers 3nodding
Seif: ...o.O;;...Hey, so'm I! =D
*both watch the blue blob devour Cali's pants*
Seif: Dude, it's like eating your pants x3
Cali:Dude, that's like totally not funny. stare
Seif: Go pick it up then. Heheh. O__O;; *edges away*
Cali:...it might have mad cow disease. *hiss*
Seif:...You've got a point there. *picks it up*
Cali:Dude, you're hand's like totally in its mouth.
Seif: I like totally noticed that, dude. stare LET'S NAME IT CERO! =D *beam*
Cali:And we would name a blob...why?
Cero: ^__^
Seif: Awwwwwwwwww, look how kyuuuuuuuuute he is! Let's exploit 'im! :3
Cali:We shall!



And so, young Cero grew...
Seif: Cali, Cero ate all of my sardines. ;__; And my hiking boots.
Cali:WHERE'D MY BOMBS GO?! O__O



...into a fine young...er...well...LOOK, A DISTRACTION! *points behind you and flees*
Seif: WELL EFF YOU TOO NARRATOR-BUDDY! ;__;
Cali:Why didn't the other knobs hatch?
Seif: ...the knobs?
Cali:The knobs.
Seif: ...*grasps Cali's hand* Cali...knobs don't hatch. *sympathetic look, nods solemnly*
Cali:-.-;; The eggs.
Seif: Well, lemme give you Nieken 101...

∙ Basic
    ∙ Nieken communicate telepathically, because they know how much it annoys you.
    ∙ Nieken are highly talented at swimming, hence fins and blobbly paws.
    ∙ A way to stab anything other than oneself with nieken horns is unknown, therefore they are mainly used as a helmet of sorts when the nieken are being stupid. n_n;;
    ∙ Nieken live to make your life difficult whilst simultaneously being cute as a button.

      ∙ Egg
      Behavior
      The inanimate stage. however, eggs have, in the past, rolled about, fled the thread, and even gone so far as to toss themselves at a certain easily frightened person whose name starts with an "S" and ends with an "eifereru"--all quite inexplicably. any explanation for this is not yet known, however, it is safe to assume that this is connected with the natural nieken desire to disregard the rule. Yes, that includes natural law. Bah, rebels.

      Physical
      Nieken eggs are shaped like eggs. Shiny eggs. With seif no longer around to wax the pretty eggs, Triz must do so. But he is lazy. He uses an electric floor waxer. I state here and now that I am not responsible for egg deformities.

      Now make a "C" with your left hand. now make a "Q" with your right hand. The nieken is about the size of the "Q".

      (Ohoho, I'm clever. 8D)

      ∙ Gamma
      Behavior
      At this stage, the nienie is confused. It cannot speak yet, and may only utter random babblings such as "Merru?" and "Eru?". Studies show 100% of all nieken in this stage can roll down a hill if you push them.

      Though it is not advisable to do so.

      Physical
      Horns are tiny nubs, no finnyfinnys yet, but it's got ears the size of a 3-inch skyscraper. Apart from that, you now have a pudgy blobby thing that resembles a head of cabbage! Congrats!

      Now go pick up a basketball, a tennis ball and an elephant.

      One is the size of your nieken in this stage.



      User Image

      ∙ Beta
      Behavior
      You begin to wonder why you ever wanted a Nieken. A Nieken has finally wisened up a bit by this stage. It has most likely developed a talent for sarcasm and wit. Hooray! Good thing it can't say much, and can only shoot you dirty looks. A Nieken gets a bit more adventurous and doubting at about this time, but they can still be tricked with relative ease. Especially if you roll them down a hill prior.

      Physical
      Fins start to sprout at this stage, and horns become long, straight, and most importantly, quite dangerous whilst rolling about. Limited speech is possible. Other than that, they're just a bit large. I'll find some clever way to relate how big they are at this stage later. Until then, just guess. :>

      ∙ Alpha
      Behavior
      Pick up your average human teenager. there's your personality, except smarter and probably more arrogant. Unless you've picked up me. In which case, put me down plz. >[

      Physical
      Now pick up a small deer. Need I say more? Full use of telepathic communication skills.

∙ Information
    With the new recreation of Nieken Delta, breeding is more possible than ever before. The reason for this is that I like breeding Nieken. It's fun. So I'll often open slots for free. Or for a small free simply to cover my boredom. Furthermore, there will be a few different types of breedings (with potentially different prices for each). These may be, but are not limited to:

      Simple Breedings ∙ Alphas go in, eggs come out. Usually 2-3 eggs.
      Lineart Breedings ∙ Lineart-edited Alphas go in, lineart-edited eggs come out. Usually 2 eggs.
      Complex Breedings ∙ Alphas go in, eggs come out. More eggs than normal.
      Newbie Breedings ∙ Alphas go in, eggs come out. Eggs must go to those without Nieken. Usually 1-5 eggs.
      Rogue Breedings ∙ Alpha go in, eggs come out. Usually 1-2 eggs.


    ∙ Rules
      ∙ You may NOT breed two of your own Nieken together.
      ∙ Both owners must post consent for a breeding to occur, and the slot to be taken.
      ∙ Parents may not breed until all of their children have grown to the alpha stage.
      ∙ Each owner may not keep more than one offspring.
      ∙ Extra offspring must be given away (cannot be sold or raffled for any money).
      ∙ Recipient of the offspring may pay their portion of the fee (ie. they may pay you up to the cost of the egg, no more).



    Rogue Breeding slot taken by Prolixity! Cost is 5,000 per egg. Eggs will be done by Archnasa.
