What is it?

I'd like to try to set up a unified Breedables event for Easter. Basically each store would have their pets start from the exact same lineart (see below). Buyers would be allowed to buy an egg for themselves or friends, but they can only have one egg, total! The eggs would cost 1 or 2k (they would all be the same amount. I'm having them cost something because otherwise we'd run out of eggs on the first day) and I'll send that money to the stores. They send the amount, the stores get that amount. I do not keep money for myself.
On Easter the eggs will open up and be replaced with certificates from the stores telling the recipients what pet they have gotten and to come to the thread and get it. After the certificate, it's in your hands, shop owners. I never touch the pets and/or their lineart and other affliated bits.
I would love to get this event going. I think it would be a great way to bring people into breedables and to get publicity for the stores. I also think it would be a fun event for all of us Breedables shop owners and buyers.
How it works

It all starts with this:

Each participating store takes the egg (one egg for each pet contributed) and decorates it in an Easter-ish fasion. Feel free to be as wild with the eggs as you want, as long as you don't change the lineart. Try to make the egg look as little like your store or pets as possible. Feel free to try to make it look like someones store just to play with peoples head tho. xd
After making the Easter egg(s), send the egg back to me with an image of the certificate for the pet from your store. I'll assign the egg a number and buyers will get their egg number from randomizer.com.
On Easter the eggs will open and be replaced with the certificates!
FAQ-

Please do not PM me with questions unless you are a store owner! If you post questions in the thread, I promise I will answer.

When is this event?
This event will run from March 20 until March 27 (or until we run out of eggs). I picked the 20th because it's both Palm Sunday and the first day of Spring and also because it gives us a little leeway after St. Patrick's day.
Remember, this means that all eggs and coupons need to be in by the 19th.

How much will you change? And how many eggs can I buy?
We'll charge 2k per egg. It seems expensive, but after looking at the pets we have here I found that most of them are in the 3-5k range.
You can buy one egg (yes, you too shopkeepers) for yourself until the 25th. Then we'll open the thread up for orders for multiple orders for friends. This is to keep the more lucrative amoung us from ending the event too early and also to hopefully cut down on the chance of people buying for mules (which is not allowed. xp )

Do we have to host the egg images?
No, I'll host them along with the coupons. It will make things easier and people won't be able to figure out what their eggs are ahead of time by looking at the image link.

Do we have to make special holiday pets?
No, regular pets are really preferred. However, should you want to make a holiday edition of your pet (something like the Wethkin Candygrams or the Talaye Meadow Minis), that would be fine.

My pets are RP-intensive/owners can only have one of my pets.
If we get enough RPable pets, we will make a seperate catagory. Otherwise buyers can specify that they do or don't want an RP pet. For buyers that do get one and think they can't handle it or already own one, after Easter they can notify the shop owner that they are giving the certificate to someone else.
I realize some shop owners may be hesitate to offer up an RPing pet when they don't know if the potential buyer may be any good at RP. However, it's fine to only contribute one pet and take a chance. There are many people who may be good at RP who don't know it yet and the chance you take with this really isn't much greater than if you held a raffle or auction.

Should I take the egg art now?
Sure, but please tell me what shop you're representing/how many pets you're contributing if you do.

I've colored my eggs. Now what?
Now please PM me the eggs and their coupons (a certificate stating what petstore the egg is from and telling the owner to come to that store to get their pet). I'll put it in my Easter Photobucket account and we shall all frolic in glee. Glee!

Coupons? Whu-huh?
You need to make a certificate that tells people what they won and where to get it. Please don't make a certificate for every egg you submit. It makes things very very complicated.
Here's an example of what a cert should look like:

Of course, your cert can be much more simple or more complex than that.

But what about the moneys! surprised
I've explained this before... okay. Here's how it goes:
Example-
We charge 2k. Your shop gives me 5 eggs. After Easter when all the eggs are sold I give your shop 10k. I don't keep any money. I'm even making a brand-new mule so none of the money gets mixed-up. I don't even WANT the money. This is being done entirely because I think it would be a fun event. Okee?
I need to hear from these stores

All the stores up are stores that still owe us eggs and certs. There's only one day left guys!

I've send out PMs to a couple of the shop owners I'm friendly with, so let's see how this goes, huh?

Hmmm...well the Kirea shop will donate something and hopefully I will have the Ramen shop under control by then and can donate from there as well.
I think it will go fairly well.
