I have three questions. One is more relevant to now and something I feel strongly about, and the other two are just curiosities.
I have three unnamed, uncerted, unclaimed foxes that Nuishan gave birth to about a few months ago. I mailed Ebil several times (twice when he was online) about the boys. I mentioned that I did not want them to rot, and that I would appreciate it if he would either cert them, or give them away.
It's been several months since those messages, and still no response. I know I brought this up before, but I wanted to elaborate more on the issue. I truly do not want them to rot, but they are. I don't want them, I have three already. I want two to go away to people I have in mind, and the third to go away in a game. I want Nuishan to roleplay with them, and have the boys in the family. It's been a long time, and it almost seems like Ebil will not be returning to Gaia
Also, second question: How often are breedings?
Third question: How often are crackbreedings?
Fourth unexpected question: If one was to bribe for a breeding, how much would it cost? Last time I did such a thing it was 80k. Is this the general price?

The first will need discussion among more of the staff than me, so for now I'm leaving that one unaswered.
As to the others:
-Breedings are usually every few months, there's no set schedule. These usually happen when the colorists have time. Crackbreedings happen only a couple of times a year, as they're meant to be rarer and not the encouraged norm. Usually they come with events (although certainly not EVERY event) where they could be appropriate, like Valentines.
-You currently cannot bribe for a breeding. If we ever do allow this to happen again, a set minimum cost will be made. We've talked of making a system for how often a colorist can take on a bribed breeding, but if this ever happens it will be exceedingly rare and probably expensive. We don't want people getting breedings often just because they have gold compared to others. Discussion about this is currently towards the bottom of our priority list.
Not even staff truly 'bribe' for breedings; we use our credits after several months to get them, and may pay extra for edits and special species to be fair to the colorist so they don't do intense stuff for free. I just thought I should made that distinction clear so no one thought staff were using a privelege denied to regular shopgoers.

Can you let me know what the decision is on the three foxes from the breeding that Ebil was supposed to have claimed? It's about identical to my own situation.
Ara and Odi have three kids that have been in limbo since the moment they were born. I did pay for all six of their children, with the assumption that Ebil could pay me back next time he was on, so the colorist got her full payment for the brood. It would be horribly bitchy of me to suggest that by paying for the whole brood, by proxy, they all belong to me, and I'm not even touching on that. I would just prefer they go to someone active.
I was hoping, maybe, compromise? I know I've certainly been amoung the missing lately, and life has a way of eating people. If I remember correctly, Ebil has school and stuff. I was thinking of giving him 'til about mid-June or so to return and claim them. If he's still gone by then....
I'm totally content with Toreth and Kaleth, so I don't really need more foxes. I was thinking about giving the oldest girls (twins) away in a contest of some kind. The remaining male..... Maybe also gone in a contest, or perhaps certed to Ebil? I could pick a name and mood, and if he doesn't like 'em he could pay a recerting fee or whatever to give the male a new name/mood? I would feel bad if he didn't get at least one of the offspring, though if he's quitting Modi's I would prefer all the foxes go to someone who will use them.

Oooooooooo! Luxy has an idea!
What about fostering? We do it to our own kind, people taking care of children until a permanent home is found. Perhaps these homeless foxes could be fostered, with the understanding that if or when Ebil comes back the foxes will go back home to him. This way, the parents can rp with their kids and Ebil isn't at loss. The foster owner could pick the name and mood, and rp the kit as their own. Then, if Ebil returns, like mentioned above he could keep the specs or pay a re-certing fee, which is only fair for the trouble his absence has caused. Just an idea, but I think it could work!~

*shakes head* That might work if you were only holding onto them for like a week or so, but Ebil's been gone for months. Once you start RPing a fox more and more you get attached and think of it as your fox. Plus it's highly unfair to give a fox to someone to RP with, and then just snatch them away cause someone returned from unannounced hiatus.
The best you could ask of the person with the fox to do is offer Ebil co-ownership, if he returns. Probably with only breeding rights while they keep RP right. And this is all speculative on when he's returning and for how long.
I agree with Yush's statement, thanks for trying to figure this out for us guys :3
