Dec.19.04 - Opened The Tacky Garage biggrin
<center> User Image

A whole other world was open to us as children: The world of imagination and creation; wonder and wow. A mask became terrifying, costumes were more than just sweatsuits, and most importantly of all, our beloved toys were real. To some, the ones that loved their toys with a love that knew no bounds, the animals spoke, though the adults could never hear the quiet whisperings of sweet companionship, and merely brushed it away as an idle child's imagination.

We've never known if the kind animals are just a figment of a child's imagination, or if their true life really does come to life, only that strong emotion carries their stuffed body to life; emotions such as love and hate; sadness and contentment. Perhaps we all really are just crazy, though the madness has only reached our imagination, rather than our brains.

The Tacky Garage is a combination of the movie Small Soldiers and almost a scene of paddington bear. Different emotions, contained in a child's heart, result in different alliances of the Tacky objects. (See "Sides" for more.)

Here at the garage, the perfect object can be found, to best display the emotion that you feel. Whether it is a pink robot, a turquoise domo plush, a polka dotted shirt, or an invisible jellyfish, we've got it. It is these old abandoned toys and beloved items that are not meant for this world of non-believers. They stick out too much to those with no imagination, and must be sheltered and hidden.

To those with enough love and imagination in their heart, these toys and objects come to life before your very eyes. They become as good as alive when they are ready to show, and with some roleplay through scenarios, you'll see how much fun they can be.

---

At first, your object won't be alive, merely a life-less object. The object is always tacky, in some way, whether it is from many decades ago, or is bright and colorful, or is a short trendsetter, forgotten in a moment, or a new, unsuccessful style. It must trust you before it will begin to show it's life.

[Insert New Image Soon]

All Tackies are original, and change differently, at different stages. Just like all girls and boys reach puberty at the same time, not all Tackies will become something completely different at their second stage of trust. Some never show physical signs of life, while some end up rolling around the room on their wheels, beads, or whatever the case may be they use to sit or move.

[Insert New Image Soon]

In their third stage, they should be cleaner to view, most likely very comfortable with the surroundings and you. Can most likely be seen by other highly immaginative people. Has the ability to fade back to normal when someone like a parent or unknown person comes into the room.

[Insert New Image Soon]

Of course your Tacky does not only exist of three stages, they are just the main foundation of the showing change. there will be many stages between each of the main stages that gets them where they are in the end. No amount of stages is the same for each Tacky. These are very random pet's with the immagination and ability to be anything!

There are further stages of your tackies life, for instence when worn, or getting older. There could be more normal stages. The thing is there is no end, your tacky could change position at any time.
There will be times when your tacky tears or rips, or get's stained, for those, there will be roleplay, scenarios, and there will be tests. Tests won't come into hand until much later on in your Tackies life.
There will always be more information recorded if something new reaches the shop, or some new amazing discovery is recorded, until then, have fun with your tacky!
biggrin

I had had my dinosaur toy for as long as I could remember, and through the years, what had once been soft and droopy became threadbare and worn. I loved that dinosaur plush, though, with it's gentle pink covering, and dull green eyes, and even when I grew to realize that most did not believe that their toys were real, I knew in my heart that he was alive, no matter what the others said. I never told anyone, for fear of being ridiculed, though I continued to hold out hope that what I had imagination.

And finally, I was rewarded for my confidence, and unfailing trust. I'll never know if I am going mad, or if my imagination decided to take that moment to go haywire, or if what I saw before my eyes was real, but I swear that that old dinosaur took form. As if stretching old muscles, he first reeled back, and then rose up to his feet, stumbling on the springy mattress. He looked at me first with one eye, and then turned and looked at me with the other, as if he was a bird, and then finally winked before settling back into his former position.

I was, and still am, honored that he trusted me enough to take form, and I have no doubt that if he was not as old as he is, and if his limbs weren't falling off, and his tail wasn't soggy with old slobber or new tears, he would have spoken, or showed me more. Even just from his moments, I could hear his gentle voice, groggy as if just awakening from a sleep, and cracking with age.

Without realizing it, my diary became a science journal, where I recorded how my plush moved, how he returned immediately back to his lifeless form when someone entered the room. I began to collect those items that had a tendency to adapt a life-like form, stowing them first in my closet, and then in my garage as the closet grew too small. The toys and objects were found in dusty boxes, dirty trashcans, anywhere that a toy could be abandoned. I came to notice that the objects fill non-believers with a sense of wrong-ness, something that wasn't right, and they tried to dispose of them, no matter how much a child would wail or stomp.

The journal began to take form, and I was able to document how each of the lifes took form, each different from the other. Some never showed a face, and somehow ended up at point B after being at point A. Other actually changed their form and became a life-like person, only as big as a coffee mug, though that seemed to only work with those that had been with me the longest, and trusted me. They had begun taking for as my dinosaur had, with merely showing that they did have a life, and as they grew to understand me, they would show more and more of what they really wished to be like. Each Tackie, as I began to call them, for each was peculiar, and definitely not like most toys in appearance, whether it was in color or patterns, had originality and they have their own styles just like humans.

Thanks Kaekia For The story Write Up.

There are currently 2 sides of objects. Just like humans, they have wars and conflicts as well, these are mostly sorted by their personalities and clashing personalities.
Right now the two sides are Clean Laundry, and Dirty Laundry.
Clean Laundry consisting of all that's good and wish just to be loved and have a life long friend such as the owner, who wish for everything to be candy cane's and sugarplum's, yet there are ones with fiesty personalities aswell who could be on the dirty Laundry side but but care for all the nastiness. And Dirty consisting of all that is rotten and dirty thinking, wishing to be powerful and hating humans who have treated them wrong, and loving those who wish for a companion to help hurt other things.
There will always be lot's of chances to unleash your side to the other, normal roleplaying encounters in the thread for one, and there will be lot's of events for roleplaying and scenarios.
For more information on roleplaying your sides, go to the "Play" post.

Your Tackies side can be found in the bottem left of the cert. A rubber ducky icon means clean laundry, a trash can means dirty laundry, and the question mark could mean neutrel or undetermined.

So you want an object from The garage eh? Well read below to find out how to get your own tacky object to love, wear and hopefully not tear by various ways.
Every object is only 2.5K at every flatsale, but may change if they are some sort of special.


Flatsales
<center>
Flatsales are probably your best chance of gettingyour own Tacky Object unless you have the gold for auctions or customs. There are three different types of flatsale, post after the go, creative writing, and poems. Read below for descriptions of each.

- Post After The Go -
These flatsales are easy for people with a fast computer, they are first come first serve. All you have to do is post which one you want after I post GO in big green Letters. You may not ask for the one you want and another if you don't get your first choice in one post. You must post again if someone before you requests the one you wanted before you. You must stop posting for flatsale Tackies after I post STOP in red lettering.

- Creative Writing -
If you have a talent for writing and using your immagination this might be the flatsale for you. I will post a prompt or question and you have to thoughtfully end it with immagination or answer the question to the best of your ability. Don't rush your entries or make them too short, I'll give you plenty of time for this flatsale.

- Poetry -
This is a fun flatsale method which still let's you use your immagination but doesn't take as much work. When I post go you must write a poem about the object you want in the flatsale, there will most likely be a few entries for each object so I'll judge them on how I like them and how they sound. Ryhming and humorous are fun, but normal poems are great too. The poem I pick, the creator will get first pick.
(Credit to SP for this one. <3)

- Current Flatsale Planned-
None right Now.


- Flatsale Rules -
1. Be Sure to have the gold before you enter a flatsale, if you win and you do not have the gold I will simply give your object to the next person.
2. No "I want this one but if that's gone I'll take this one." You may only Ask for one, if someone else posts for that one before you, repost for another one.
3. You may order 1 for yourself, and for others in a regular Post after the go flatsale, but youmust order in seperate posts for ever person. So it's most likely you won't be able to order for someone else.
4. In a creative writing and Poem flatsale you may not try for others unless they gave you the poem or ending to the prompt to post for them.
5. Every Object is 2K at a flatsale unless it's something special.
6. You must have read eveything on the main page.
7. The rules are subject to change at anytime and should be looked over before every flatsale.



Auctions

<center> Auctions are usually rare, but are also usually in some way special edition or a very special object. The starting bid will always be 2K. There may or may not be an autobuy and usually last a couple of days to a week.
Auction rules will be displayed at the auction as well as here. The main rule will be no sniping. I've been sniped before adn I hate it, it's unfair and it's very hard to beat if someone does that.

- Current Auction Planned -
None.

- Rules -
1. No Sniping, no new bidders in the last half hour of the auction. The auction will be extened 5 minutes every bid past the ending time, or if anyone bids.
2. No disencouraging others, no mkaing others pity you.
3. No fighting in my threads, you'll be banned and if you have a Tacky Object it will be taken away.
4. You must have read everything on the main page.



Raffle

<center> Raffles are a test of luck, everyone has a chance. Tickets will be 100G each and you may buy as many as you want. Raffles will be something special as well. There arn't really any raffle rules except no fighting in the thread and send trade emediatly. I hate whining, so don't do that "oh I won't win it, I have sucky luck." thing in my thread. FI you think your not going to win, why did you buy tickets? o_o Exactly, you have a chance so be happy and be excited. <3 The Winner will be chosen by randomizer.org.

- Breeding 101 -
Breeding is much much different from humans. There is allowed same gender relationships and opposite. Then there are Genderless which may pop a baby out as an adult anytime whether you want it to or not. If this happens it will just be another object on your cert in the similiar object category. If you want to force it to have a Tackler (Tacky Baby Object) Then it will be a fee just like opposite and same gender breeding.

---

There are certain types of stick bugs that really don't have a gender, they can reproduce on their own without another male or female playing a part. Which is exactly like The Tackies, there are some tackies that are both genders, or simply, don't have a gender. Genderless Or "Boths" will have a sign in the bottem left corner like this:

---

If your Object is Female then can breed normally, and has to have a male or female partner. It cannot just rnadomly have children whenever it feels like it like "Boths." It's sign looks like this:
User Image

---

Then There are males who need a male or female to breed aswell unlike the "Boths." The male gender sign looks like this and is located in the bottem left of the cert:

- Breeding Fact -
-Breeding costs 2.5K per owner to breed.
-You may have a Genderless/Both alone. Or A Male & Male, Male & female, Female & male, Female & female couple to breed.
-You may only breed 3 times on force in your tackies whole life.
-Only once a month.
-Up To 3 Tacklers. Common is 2.
-Keep Checking For More Info.

Q: What do each of the icons mean in the bottem left of the cert?
A: Each of the icons have different meanings, let me explain the whole cert to you, and then you ca find out what the icons mean. The number in the circle on the certs go with the circled number divider.

User Image
</center>


User Image
#1 is the title of the cert, this is meaningless to you. Just showing that the pet you have in your signature is a Tacky.

User Image
#2 is the item you have. if the picture is not understandable, it says right above it in clear letters what your Tacky is.

User Image
#3 IS your Tacky, it's where the image of your Tacky is.

User Image
#4 is your Tackies name. Displayed a top the information box.

User Image
#5 is the where the owners name goes, showing who owns the Tacky.

User Image
#6 is the Date of Life. The date you first see your Tacky move or come alive is the date that will go there.

User Image
#7 if your Tacky's personality, so you know how to RP your Tacky right.

User Image
#8 is your Tackies Identity number, you ca also find this at the owners list.

User Image
#9 is the icon that shows whether your Tacky is on the Clean Or Dirty Laundry Side. A trash can symbol means they're on the Dirty side, a rubber ducky means they're on the clean side, and a question mark means your Tacky is neutral or doesn't know what side they are on yet.
User Image

User Image
#10 is the gender your Tacky is. If it has a circle with an arrow pointing up it is a male, if it has a circle with a cross below it is a female, and if it has a heart with a arrow and a cross, it is "Both." for more information on gender check the "Lovey" post.
User Image

User Image
#11 is the icon showing whether your Tacky is normal, special or in a series. A "Zzz" boring symbol means normal, a letter S with a red cape, sword, and mask means it's in a series, and a star means it's special.

Quote:

Q: How long before my Tacky starts to grow from the first stage? And after that, how long does it take for them to grow through the stages?
A: There is no set time period for when Tackies grow. After you first get your tacky, you should notice things changing or slightly changing over the next few week which could lead up to the main first stage. Things will always be changing, and that si why there is no set time.



Quote:

Q: Something has changed on my cert from when I first got it? When can I roleplay my Tacky as if I can see it?
A: When you see the D.O.F. date filled in on the information box on your cert. When you see a date under D.O.F. that means you have finally seen your Tacky. If something changes on the cert from the first stage it doesn't mean you've seen it alive yet. The date of life will tell you when you can start roleplaying it as a character and not an object.
