    Welcome to lil's latest B/C interest thread idea bonanza bash mabob! Enjoy~

    Here's what I'm asking of the artists:
    --Full time: 2+ full-body criminals. That's only two or more full-body images. The amount is up to you!
    --Part Time: 1+ full-body criminals. Amount is up to you, but you don't need to enter a criminal in every flatsale. Amount is up to you!

    Yep, that's it! Pretty simple and the shop will be more worth while to the artists than most other shops. ^_^

    So pretty much lil got bored one night and tried to think up something veeeery creative, but not so creative that lil's head would've exploaded. It didn't take much time coming up with a basic component to B/C fun, and it sounded quite unique to lil's ears. What was it? Well, the classic game Hangman! But with a little twist~ for it to be accepted in the B/C forum. So, here is the interest thread to (hopefully!) gather some interest!

    Ok, the third person talk is getting a little old so I'll switch now. Anyway, I'm the lil and I'm the owner of Wishing..on a Star, a B/C shop that's a year old and on its second version. It's running strong but I'm wanting more things to do over time and these creative ideas keep popping into my head. I'd love for them to become shops, too! ^o^

    Now on with the good stuff!

    Well hey there, cowboy/girl, otherwise known as crim-eee-nal! Welcome to the wonderful town of Hangman, where pranksters and mischievous folk come to get away from it all and tell their stories. We get many types of people over here, although none of 'em are downright dirty criminals; we're just a bunch of misunderstood hellions! Honest, I swear... Oh, and don't mind the accent, I grew up in the Wild West y'know. I stole a horse once, way back when. I also dunked the mayor's wife in a --oh, sorry.

    *cough, cough*

    Ehem, back to the story. This town is just your ordinary town in the middle of nowhere where the so-called "bad" people come together and find peace. We all have our stories and our wanted posters, but here we can't get caught. Hangman is a town that really is big enough for the both of us, and countless others. It's a huge plot o' land surrounded by desert that no one but criminals wants to cross. There's also plenty of room to grow, and there are many scenes to see. We have a city, a suburb, an --and this is my doing-- old style western town, and many more places to live.

    I'm Mayor Han G. Man and welcome to Hangman.


    ((This will be edited soon, I just wanted to get a basic write up.))

    First Stage: There's an artist working on a wanted poster but they've only drawn your face! The head is all a person will see when purchasing the criminal. On the top of their cert will be "_" representing each letter in the crime they committed.
    -- Two letter guesses to start them off. Two free full guesses to use whenever.

    Second Stage: That artist still keeps working, s/he's now got an arm on the poster and continues working!
    -- One free letter guess. No extra letters available.

    Third Stage: They've got another arm down!
    -- One free letter guess. No extra letters available.

    Fourth Stage: Uh-oh, now the folks around know what your torso looks like!
    -- One free letter guess. Extra letters will be 500g each max of two.

    Fifth Stage: They're starting on the lower parts now and they've already gotten one leg on the poster.
    -- Three free letter guesses. Extra letters will be 500g each max of two.
    -- Extra guesses will be 2k each. Max of two.

    Final Stage: They've drawn your other leg in now and the poster is complete, did you manage to figure out your crime and get away? If not, then I s'pose you managed a scuffle before running off.
    -- Crime will be revealed.
    -- If the crime was guessed correctly before the final stage, the criminal will be placed on the Most Wanted list and awarded with shop credit, gold, or some other prize.

    Notes:
    â–ª There's no hanging involved, everyone ends up getting away with their dirty deed. >=]
    However, people on the Most Wanted list are more respected than those who barely managed to escape!
    â–ª Each stage will last one to three weeks (depending on activity of the owner) so it takes roughly 5 to 15 weeks to become a full-fledged criminal.
    â–ª These won't be separate drawings, just one drawing with parts hidden.
    â–ª The crimes will be silly, not serious, and all will be (hopefully!!) equally difficult.
    â–ª The gold from extra guesses/letters will go to the prize fund for those who guess correctly.
    â–ª Just because the mood is sort of Wild West, doesn't mean that all of the criminals will be bandits. Criminals come in all shapes and sizes! ^^
    â–ª There will be no requirements on journals or role play but thread activity will be required.


    Help me with a price, please~~! >w<

    ~~~

    Breeding:
    â–ª Only for RP couples, they must have declared their partner in crime at least one month before coupling.
    â–ª They will have stages and no crime other than "Connection to the criminals (mumma name) and (daddy name)." So no word guessing or slow reveal. They'll be like most other B/C "pets". =]
    â–ª Their stages are baby, child, teen, adult, and the growing requirements are the same as the revealing requirements for the other criminals.
    â–ª Prices will be determined at a later time but since they are considered semi-customs (they will look like their parents, not much artistic freedom~) and four full-body stages of unique art, they will be pricey.
    â–ª Both parents must be fully revealed before being able to breed.

    Adoption:
    â–ª Only for RP couples, they must have declared their partner in crime at least one month before coupling.
    â–ª They will have stages and no crime other than "Connection to the criminals (mumma name) and (daddy name), so no word guessing or slow reveal. They'll be like most other B/C "pets". =]
    â–ª They start off as children or teens depending on what is desired, both will end up as an adult for 2 or 3 stages total. Their growing requirements are the same as the revealing requirements for the other criminals.
    â–ª Prices will be determined at a later time but they will be pricey, but not quite as much as breeding would be.
    â–ª Both parents must be fully revealed before being able to breed.

    What I am looking for:
    â–ª A dedicated and experienced Gaian who can maintain and draw the criminals.
    â–ª An overall fun person who is always open to suggestions and isn't overly defensive.
    â–ª A Gaian who can meet and work with deadlines.
    â–ª A Gaian who can finish and follow through with jobs they claim.
    â–ª A Gaian who can alert the staff with any problems without making false excuses.
    â–ª A Gaian who can do both coloring and drawing by themselves OR have a partner to work with before sending in an application.
    â–ª A Gaian with aesthetically pleasing art. Meaning knowledge of anatomy, shading, lighting, and color must be represented in the art. ((And more things I can't remember.))

    Rules:
    â–ª Must generally get along with others and be able to be a leader. All staff are leaders in a shop. =]
    â–ª Meet deadlines and be willing to face a penalty for missing a deadline.
    â–ª Activity is a must. I ask that you post at least once every time you login.
    â–ª Respect. Others, yourself, the rest of the staff, pets, etc.

    Benefits:
    â–ª Three completely free criminals from yourself to yourself. For every one after that, just pay the shop and cert fee.
    â–ª Three free art trades with another artist. (If one artist has already used up their freebies, just have someone pay the shop and cert fee. ^^)
    â–ª Unlimited criminals to anyone (so if they can keep up!) as long as someone pays the cert and shop fee. I will suspend privilages if I feel that artists are abusing them. Meaning shop work comes before friend freebies.
    â–ª Guest artists and part-time artists get the same benefits, as long as you are willing to do a couple freebies.

    Wages:
    â–ª No less than 8k per criminal, price still being figured out. For flatsales, artists will be paid 15-20k and the exact price will be figured out soon.
    â–ª Customs the price of your normal full-body CG you have in shops (if you have 'em, if not, just pick a price! ;D) with a few extra k for the certist.
    â–ª Auctions will be a minimum of three (seperate) criminals at a time. Artists can do a batch by themselves and have an auction or get a group together. Full time artists will get 80%, part time will get 70%, and guests will get 60% of winning bid as payment. Artists can have as many auctions they want but I must get warning ahead of time for the plotting. <3

    Positions:
    â–ª Full Time: 1+ in every flatsale. (About 2+ per month)
    â–ª Part Time: 1 per month OR participation in every other flatsale. (Or something to that nature)
    â–ª Guest: Participation in various flatsales, possible "spotlight" events.

    Velorius: Ok well my suggestion would be to think up types of crimes, break them into variuos categories and create a zone for each category.

    Q: How do you RP them anyway?
    A: RP the character~ 8D
    You don't know what they did or what they look like, but since when do people wear the same clothes every day? >D Basically like a little town RP.

    Q: What if they dun have a foot? Or an arm? 8D
    A: That's just a poster, not their real selves~

    Q: Then what do their real selves look like? D8
    A: Basically they get to see the head, and imagine the rest until they are fully revealed. ^_^

    Q: Yeah, I mean, what if they rest of them is missing a foot or an arm? D8
    A: We'll make a note if there is something significantly 'different' about their body XDD

    Got a question? Ask away~
