no suggestions? heart domokun

Rhea has a suggestion-

Breeding and custom openings should be Announced VIA shop thread's title or announcement post. Should be announced 5 days- 1 week beforehand.

Cuz unless you stalk the guild constantly you miss out on some things.

Should also have a few more flatsales (Maybe every other month or every two months?), depending on if the colorists are all caught up..

Example- Colorists A, C, D and F are all caught up with growings/customs/etc. B and E are not. If a flatsale was to be planned, A, C, D, and F can contribute, but B and E cannot unless they finish growings/customs.

Hope i'm helping and not hurting x3

The monthly/bimonthly fs sounds good, though setting a limit is a tough task, as at some point everyone will have growings or customs to do. Then what, nothing is done for that time? Just the use of good sense would be enough, or else do it on a rotative basis. A does a flat this month, B the next, and so on :3...

Announcing breeding and customs like that should be a choice of the colorist, as it is a proof of fidelity if someone actually notices something that wasn't advertised. Also, the fact that breedings are spoke of a day or two before happening is a decent brake for sudden bouts of ooc set ups as it gives time to do searching for another willing, greedy soul. It's not a matter of stalking, it's just paying attention every now and then, as it is always mentioned on the thread one way or another. And it'd get confusing at times, since there's a tendency to avoid synchronization... Yunno.

Heh, sorry Rhea, but that downright sucks. Do a plot in five days just to justify someone's thirst for cubs? That is so not cool :b.

Most Ooc breedings are what it means, Out of Character, meaning they don't influence whatever plot continuity there is. Because everyone's curious about seeing what somebody and somebody mix turns out, the fact that it's known 5 days before won't change the fact that it's Ooc, as they're breedings where people ain't interested on story, just the outcome. There's been stuff that did turn Ic, but it was spoofs that always ocurred to people after seeing the cubs, which sucks as well.

Yes and no. That should be left at the colorist's discretion, as, I don't know, to some it may be indifferent, but then there's the other extreme as in (if it hasn't been noticed) myself, on the occasion (it comes from being a PLer and a colorist, probably, and not just a one sided thing...). So, if a colorist wants to, all they have to do is add a specific rule about it before the slots being attributed. It's what I'm going to do on special events at least, from now on. It's just a matter of having some sense, I think :b. Hoarding on Christmas? I dun care about the excuse >P. Also, there are cases where the same person owns a true couple, and to them I think it'd be a bit unfair to completely rule it out as an option for those rare cases. And, imagine there was an auction for a suppa duppa special slot and the person wins it with a ton and a half of gold. To force it upon said person to give them all but one would be bad, as they did pay a buttload :b... though I'd have to do my best not to pull my frying pan of d00m out if they kept all four ><... As I've said before, that's what friends and dice are for :3.
