SHOP STATUS: See Updates & Announcements

NEREID GUILD: NOW OPEN!

THE SHOP OWNER IS: Still caught in the grip of Real Life. Please be patient.

Here are samples of the pet that is offered here... the Nereids:







Raighne: I am not a sample.

Hush you. Sit there and show Veeshan how to pose.

Raighne: rolleyes

Veeshan: *poses*

Raighne: You've corrupted her!

*coughs* Anyway.... They are breedable sea nymphs that start off as a clamshell like these that will bubble, shake and open when the pet is about to emerge.







ALL images here were drawn and created by me. Please do not steal my work or alter it without my express permission.

1. The shopkeeper is god. Do not argue with the gods, or you will be smitten and added to the blacklist. If you are told there are no shells available and continue to pester, you will be ignored even when there ARE shells.

2. Flatsales, auctions and raffles will be CLEARLY announced both on the first page of the shop, and on the current page of the thread.

3. No rudeness! I mean business on this. If shells are available and you didn't get one for whatever reason, whining, threatening and generally making a twit of yourself will NOT get you one, nor will it endear you to those that might just be kind enough to give you a shell later from a breeding.

4. Faking bids at an auction or flatsale (even as a joke) will result in a permanent ban from ever owning a Nereid, even if it's a gift from a current owner.

5. Trades can only be made with shells. The owner(s) of an adult Nereids can only be changed under very special circumstances (ex. - the owner is leaving Gaia and wants a friend to have their Nereid.).

6. Please approve pet trades with the shop owner first.

7. The last and most important rule for right now: RP!! Feel free to RP your Nereid here; just have FUN with them! That's what Gaia's all about, after all. *G*

I'm still working at getting everything settled in Real Life, and for the moment, fun things, such as Nereids, have taken a back seat to real obligations. I'm not planning to abandon Nereids at all, I just need some more time to get things settled before I return. Because of that, I'm putting the shop on official hiatus for a couple of weeks.

Regarding breedings - while on hiatus, the shells and new breedings will be pending. But they are coming.

Regarding Halloween - my plans are still intact, and if all goes well, I should return in plenty of time! biggrin So keep your eyes peeled.

eek OMG! Envy is employed again! This means really nifty things like continued internet service, and food, and a roof over our heads. However, it means I may be absent a bit more often.

But I am here with some teaser info....

ANNOUNCEMENT - 10/17/04
With Envy on hiatus and the new grounds-crew off doing a shirtless calendar for 2005, things are a little backlogged. The shells are perfectly safe, and will be delivered when the groundscrew returns.

ANNOUNCEMENT - 09/22/04
The Breeding Centre is CLOSED. No other names are being added to the waiting list presently.
Further announcement will be made later. </center>

Please read the following important details before asking for your pair to be placed in a Breeding Pool.

idea The cost for breeding will be 1.5k from each owner, 3k Total. If you are breeding 2 of your own Nereid the cost will be 2.5k. Payment must be made in full before the Nereids will be placed in a Breeding Pool.

idea Nereids will be left in the breeding pools for 1 week to give them plenty of time to... make shells. *grin*

idea Gen1 Nereids will produce between 2-4 shells per breeding, to be determined by the almighty random dice roll. The shop keeper will trust that the owners can work out among themselves how the shells will be distributed.

idea Once your Nereid has bred she will need time to recover before going into a pool again, not less than 30 days.

idea Any offspring that are not being kept by the owners must be sold or auctioned prior to the shells hatching. Little ones will not hatch until they have an official owner. If you do wish to sell your little ones, the shop owner can run the thread or the owners may do so. Just be sure to let me know so that it can be linked on the front page. Fee for selling a shell is 10% of the profit. Example: Nereid shell sells for 5k. Shop owner take = 500.

idea Nereids on the waiting list have first choice at using the Breeding pools. However, it is listed on the waiting list if the breeding fees have been paid or not. Should someone further down the list pay in full they will be allowed to use the breeding pool ahead of someone that has not paid.


NEW ITEMS

idea Any generation Nereid may breed with any Nereid she chooses. The offspring will always be one generation higher than the highest involved in the breeding. Example: Gen1 + Gen2 = Gen3. Gen2 + Gen2 = Gen3. Gen1 + Gen3 = Gen4

idea Breedings involving a Gen2 Nereid, and further higher gen's, will produce between 2-3 shells, to be determined by the almighty random dice roll. Breedings involving Gen3 and on will produce 2 shells.

idea The body line art has changed for the Gen3. This will be the last line art update for the Nereids. However, new hairstyles and eyes will continue to be added occasionally.

Taking the concept of the White List from another shop (And for the life of me I canNOT remember which one). Basically, it means that while there is a Black List for those who will be unable to purchase pets here, there is also a White List of people who have gone above and beyond the call of duty and deserve to be recognized for it. There CAN be more than 3 on each list, btw...

White List

1. darklittleangel

2. Trio Maxwell-Chang (a constant & irreplaceable help to me!)

3.


Black List

1. Xanthia - Continual harrassment and badmouthing of a shopowner during a Mod dispute, even though the Mods were already in the process of trying to work out the issue. Admitted that the reason she did it was because the owner in question was making more money off his pets than she did from hers. (Permanent)
