"Origin of the Creatures of Alti'uin"
You may have heard many a legend, or story, or just facts about the stars in the nighttime sky. Stories that stars were Roman or Greek Gods, that they are long passed loved ones looking down upon us all, or Angels shining their bright light from Heaven...and then you may be like most of us, knowing that they are just plain and simple planets far off in the distance. But let me tell you here, in Alti’uin, the truth about the stars is not just a mere legend or story passed down from generation to generation...it’s every creatures’ way of belief and living...a truth and far from fiction.

Every creature worships, what we call, Star Spirits, the same stars you see in the sky at night. Every time a creature was in trouble, these Spirits were called upon for help, and they did a good job at protecting and helping out their followers. Spirits have no form, no name, no color or pattern...they just exist only as Star Spirits.

Alti'uin used to be a place of harmony and peace at this time and lasted for over 5000 years, but a misunderstanding between the creatures of Alti'uin, and Humans on the other side of the land, began a war that lasted for almost 200 years. Out of all creatures, wild horses suffered the most, being enslaved for heavy labor and other humanly tasks, which caused many to lose their spirit and die. The Spirits watched in dismay as their beloved followers perished at the hands of the humans.

Finally, after 200 years of watching enough suffering, a particular group of Star Spirits did something they had never done before. They fell from the sky, like meteors crashing down to earth. Now on earth, they were forced to take a physical form....a 3 tailed fox creature called an Earth Spirit, and had to make a tough decision. If they used their powers now, they would never be able to go back to being Star Spirits, and their memories of being Spirits, would be gone forever. If they were going to stop this war, there would be no return...physical or mental. Some of the Earth Spirits decided to hide among the creatures, protecting them with strength alone and keeping the story and secret of the Star Spirits, alive. The braver ones, using the last of their powers and accepting memory loss, destroyed all humans that continued to rage war. The other humans, not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the others that were killed, banished themselves into the mountains were they were never seen again, but not before releasing all of the wild horses that they had so wrongfully enslaved.

All the Earth Spirits that had used their powers, were now just common animals and given the name of Nekune by their hidden fellow Earth Spirits. This name means “Earth Spirit” in Alti’uin. The Star Spirits, seeing how much the wild horses deserved after the war, transformed them into part bird creatures, giving them features that enhanced their defenses. These new creatures were called Equians, which means “horse bird” in Alti’uin.

Since that time, many, many years have passed. The Earth Spirits are still in hiding, and rare is it to see or even befriend one. The Nekunes have populated much of the area, and the Star Spirits are still worshipped every day. And the Equians? They have formed into two different sub-species now. The winged Equians called Haomins, and the non-winged Equians called Koeuma, crossbreds of Haomins and regular horses.

Here in Alti'uin, I offer the ability to take a journey throughout the land in search of those missing Earth Spirits...and even in search of Nekunes, Equians, and Koeuma. I, myself, have taken many a journey to find abandoned babies that I can bring back and then send to loving homes...and even breed some of my own and sell the babies to help populate the species. I have even started a showing club where each species can be shown and win prizes based on certain standards and criteria.

I welcome you to visit the world of Alti'uin and take the journey for yourself to find your new best friend!

”Terms for Graylist and Blacklist”
GREYLIST:

1. Should the user have any pets:
  • The pets will be labeled with an inactive status. This means pets cannot participate in any shop function, and this means EVERYTHING.

2. The user will also not be able to participate in any shop functions, and this includes events or things outside of the shop that are still linked to the shop.
3. Users on the graylist:

  • CAN still come into the shop and make conversation. It is encouraged and welcomed.
  • Are able to redeem themselves, but are also more likely to be put on the blacklist as well.

4. Time on the graylist is one month. If any incidences occur during this time, they are eligible for the blacklist. If no occurences, or the user seems to redeem themself (by in-shop interactions), then the user should be removed from the greylist at the end of the month’s time. Differences in time will occur depending on the individual.

BLACKLIST:

1. Should the user have any pets:
  • They will be considered "dead" in the shop.
  • I will then sell a CLONE of the same pet to take the place of the "dead" pet, meaning there will be two of the same pet...1 "dead" and 1 alive.

2. If the user has any unfinished pets:
  • They will be finished and the user will be asked to take their leave.
  • If any unfinished pets cannot be finished, the user will receive a PARTIAL refund, because they are obligated to pay for what was already colored.

3. The user is permanently banned from the shop, no matter what is happening or going to happen.
4. If you managed to get yourself onto the blacklist, I would prefer it if you just did not come into the shop. Don't take it too personally. I’m doing what’s best for the shop and the other users who don’t want to deal with your problems and issues either.

Graylist (temporarily banned)
None, and let's keep it that way.

Blacklist (permanently banned)
None, and let's keep it that way.

I have another question that isn't addressed here, what do I do?
Feel free to post in the thread with any questions you may have that I haven't answered yet. Please, DO NOT PM ME, as I WILL NOT answer you.

"GENERAL QUESTIONS"
1. What is an Earth Spirit, Nekune, Equian, and Koeuma?
Please read the "Origin of the Creatures of Alti'uin" in the first post, it explains what all the creatures are and how they came to be.

2. How can I go about owning one?
You can wait around for a flatsale, journey, or an auction, win one in an event, recieve a free one through a breeding if someone is nice enough to give you one of their babies, or you can pay for an expensive custom when a slot is open.

3. How big is the cert image?
It’s within the 500 X 500 pixel limit.

4. How long does it take for certs to be posted after a flatsale/auction/event/etc.?
I usually try to post within the same day, but if not, usually within the week. For semi and full customs, finished results will take anywhere from 1-4 weeks for completion and certing.

6. What is the difference between a PET quality pet, and a SHOW quality pet?
Show quality can join in Show Events, and Pets cannot. Pets also don't grow any further than teen stage without a potion, and cannot breed. Please read the "Availability" post for more info.

7. Ok, so I have a pet now...How long will it take my pet to grow?
Your baby grows to teen stage within a 4-6 weeks. Pet pets cannot grow any further than teen stage without a growth potion. Show pets have to earn their next growth stage through shop diligence and/or RP.

8. What's a Journey, how do I get one, and what do I do after I've gotten one?
Please read the Availability post for more info.

9. I want to affiliate with your shop! How can I do that?
First, you take the shop link and banner and post in your own shop, and then just post in the thread your shop link and banner and I will post it under the affiliates page.

10. Can I have a job or be a guest colorist?
If I'm looking for positions to fill, I will say so.

"GENERAL SALES and AVAILABILITY QUESTIONS"
1. How do flatsales and auctions work and how often are they held?
Please read the Availability post for flatsale rules and details. Auction rules and details are explained in the same thread as the auction is being held.
I try to hold flatsales twice a month if I, and my colorists, can handle it. Most of the time it's 1 flatsale, once a month. Auctions are held whenever I feel like holding an auction.

2. Can you notify me when you have a sale?
Sorry. There is no mailing list and never will be one. If you want to know when a sale is, hang around the thread and wait till one pops up.

3. Can I reserve one? I won't be here during the sale!
The only way to "reserve" one, is through the "waiting list". The waiting list works just like the real world, where dog breeders actually have waiting lists for their puppies. First person on the list, gets first pick of the litter. This only works when I'm actually holding a "Waiting List" flatsale, so it's not just pick of the litter for every flatsale that pops up. And just because you're on the waiting list doesn't mean it's not free or not some waiting involved. There is a waiting list fee of 1.5k you have to pay, but you’ll at least get a pick of the litter. So to answer the question...no, you can’t reserve one, but there is an option to be put on a waiting list, which will have almost the same effect.

4. How much does a pet cost, and how can I get a custom?
Please read both the Availabile Pets post and the Customs post.

5. How many pets can I own, and can I co-own?
You can own as many as you want, and co-owning is not allowed unless it’s a special auction, of which only a maximum of two people can co-own.

6. Do you do pet trades or bribes?
Please read the Customs post. For each colorist...coloring abilities, pet trades, and bribes, will be different.

"GENERAL BREEDING and BABIES QUESTIONS"
1. If I have a free breeding pass, does that cover both pets or just mine?
If you recieve a free breeding token, pass, ticket, whatever, not only is it free for you, but it is also free for the person's pet you plan to breed with.

2. How many babies can my pet have?
Depending on the pet, it varies. For Nekunes, cub litters range from 2-6. 2-3 cubs is born if one person breeds two of their pets together. 4-5 cubs results from 2 seperate people breeding their pets together, and 6 cubs results only if a Star Spirit blesses your pets. For Equians, egg clutches range from 2-5 eggs. 2 eggs for 1 person breeding two pets, 3-4 eggs for 2 people breeding their pets, and 5 eggs results only if a Star Spirit blesses your pets.

3. Can I sell or give away my babies?
Give aways are always welcome. Babies are only allowed to be sold if you’ve won a payable breeding. If you buy a breeding spot and you breed your pets normally, you can only give them away. How you do it, is up to you, as long as I know about it. All selling is done through the shop. The shop gets 50% (25% colorist and 25% shop owner) and the breeders get 50% (25% for each breeder). All sales will be held by shop owner as well as distribution of gold. It is against the rules to sell a baby on your own.

4. How come I only get 25% of the sale?
Don’t be selfish. If you even win a payable breeding, consider yourself extremely lucky. Payable breedings are hard to come by since they take a lot of work to get to.

5. How can I get a payable breeding?
Please read the Event Post for more details.

6. How about breeding two of the same gender?
No. Absolutely, and utterly, NO. They can be mates to each other, but cannot breed to each other.

7. How much does breeding cost?
Please read the Breeding Post for more details.

The Nekunes

Nekunes are Ex-Earth Spirits. They have no memories of their former lives as Spirits, and therefore are the most commonly seen of their kind. They are curious in nature because of their lost memories, but have a natural instinct to be wary of humans. Befriending one is quite the experience.

Nekunes are born in litters of 2-4 cubs and have coats of a natural color. As the cubs age, their coat begins to change into what they are influenced by in their environment. This means a cub who is influenced by the stars, will most likely have a starry coat pattern as it sheds and gets older. Most cubs found and sold are already shedded out, but newborns from breedings will have their natural coat colors. Cubs are nursed by their parents until they are about 1-2 weeks old. For the next few months, they stay close to the parents learning about the world around them. After this, they fend for themselves, but still travel and live in packs like wolves do. Characteristic traits about these animals are their long ears with the tufts of furr at the tips, the 3 tails, and the sometimes beautiful wings. They grow no bigger than a wolf, even at elder size.


The Earth Spirits
Earth Spirits are Ex-Star Spirits. Because they retained their memories and went into hiding, they are extremely elusive and therefore have never been seen or studied. I have heard they are the most extrodinary and beautiful creatures known to this land, but this is just rumor. My guess is that they are more than wary of humans because they retained their memories of the war, being able to smell them from over a mile or more away, giving plenty of time to retreat out of the area. One of these days we might be lucky enough to see one, but don't count on it.


The Equians

Equians, or "Horse birds" in Alti'uin, are split into two sub-species: Haomins and Koeuma.

Haomin(s)

Haomins, Because of their history with the humans, are the most aggressive and elusive of all the creatures in Alti'uin. Approaching one should be done with extreme caution as they were born with the instinct to kill. They can be quite loving and protective once you earn their trust, but befriending one is a miracle in itself. You're more likely to see an Earth Spirit before you befriend a Haomin, but it is possible. Haomins are the only ones with wings and are the original pure-breds of their Equian kind.

Koeuma

Koeuma is a crossbred between a Haomin and a Horse. They are much less aggressive because of their mixed bloodlines, but still have elusive tendancies. Some show aggressive, while other tend to just flee from the scene, but there is no instinct to kill. Approaching one should still be done with caution as there is still Haomin blood in the Koeuma. All Koeuma are wingless, and are a lot easier to befriend then their counterpart, the Haomin.

Equians of both kinds are born in eggs. Egg clutches can be anywhere from 2-5 eggs, although 2-3 eggs are more common. Equian foals stay close to their parents until they become teens, and then they start to have a mind of their own up through adulthood. Elders do exist and are rare, but are said to be so beautiful, that they could bring even the heartless of people, to tears. Equians travel in herds mostly made up of family members, although some herds do exist where there are several family herds roaming together. Characteristic traits about these animals are their back bird feet, feathers for a tail and feathers poking out from the head just inbetween the ears. More feathers appear as the Equian grows older. Equians are also color and pattern influenced, but are this way from the time they are eggs. There is no shedding out like there is with the Nekunes.

*INSERT IMAGE HERE*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GROUPS & TYPES

In the land of Alti'uin, both Nekunes and Equians are classified into groups and influences. Each species varies. For Nekunes, there are only 4 groups:
  • Normal
  • Angelic
  • Demonic
  • Fairy


For Equians, there are 8 groups. Here is a list of the known groups so far:
  • Normal
  • Angelic
  • Demonic
  • Reindeer
  • Dragon
  • Vampire
  • Butterfly/Bug
  • Unicorn


And influences are so many, that there isn't a list to count them all. Influences can be anything....color, thing, idea, animal, feeling, place...ANYTHING that influences the color and pattern of the Nekune or Equian in their environment.

NEED TO KNOW INFO BEFORE A FLATSALE!
(Actual flatsale rules are listed below)


  • There are two different flatsale SALES:
    • Pets.
      And
    • Journeys (to find pets).

  • There are 2 different TYPES of pets. Pet Quality & Show Quality.
    • Pet quality – EVERY SINGLE NON-JOURNEY FLATSALE, will start out with Pet quality pets and nothing else. Pet quality pets are the normal wingless and non-special pets that only grow as far as the teen stage (without a growth potion), and cannot breed. Only with a growth potion can they grow to the next stage, but are only allowed grow to the adult stage, not the elder stage. IF you want show quality, you say so at the time of the sale and you have to pay extra for it.
    • Show Quality - This quality of pet can be both winged and specials, as well as normals. Pets that start off as Show from the start without you having to convert from Pet quality, can ONLY be found through taking Journeys. Show pets can grow as far as an elder, BUT only if you're active enough (4 DAYS a month...NOT POSTS). Not coming in does NOT result in you losing your pet in anyway. If you aren't active, your pet will stop growing at the teen stage, just like Pet quality. If you're active, your pet will grow to an adult, and CAN, if you're extremely active, grow to an Elder. You can do everything that Pet quality can’t, but you have to be active in order to gain breeding rights.

  • Journey Info
    • What is a Journey and how do I get one?
      • A journey is something that if offered to people who would like to find winged, specials, and semi-custom Show quality pets....anything but normals and pet quality.
      • Journeys can only be taken when slots are available for purchase. This pays for your entry into the largest preservation area in the whole land of Alti'uin.
      • Journeys are ONLY offered through flatsales and auctions, and they act just like flatsale pets, except they are Journies instead.
      • Journeys range in price from 5-10k at the time of a sale, but most of the time will have set amounts instead of offering the range. The higher you pay, the better the find. This includes:
        • Semi Customs
        • Elders
        • Specials
        • One-of-a-Kinds
        • Winged
        • Edited
        • Finding Mulitple pets.


    • What all do you do when you pay for a journey?
      • Once you've bought your way into the preservation area, you head over to the guild and setup a thread. This thread is where you and I will be keeping track of your journey progress.
      • When you actually get to this point, please read the rest of the info on "Getting Started on your journey" in the guild, located in post 6.
      • Completion of a journey can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks. Please note, that if you don't RP enough or post enough while on your journey, that you will receive a full refund and be kicked out of the preservation area, and your journey given to someone else that has more time for a journey. At this point, you'll just have to wait until the next Journey opportunity.

  • Different ways a flatsale is held:
    • All Flatsales, including the way it's held and the type will be announced prior to the sale, and it will be explained how it will work, on the day before and day of the flatsale.
    • We do "Speed sales".
    • We do "dice rolls" and "random #'s".
    • We also do "waiting list sales". ONLY WHEN THE SALE IS MENTIONED TO BE A "WAITING LIST SALE", WILL PEOPLE BE CHOSEN OFF OF THE WAITING LIST. Don't put yourself on the list if you can get a pet a faster way. Waiting list sales are when people on the list are able to get pets FIRST. Once the list runs out, then the sale opens up to everyone else.
      • Cost to get onto the waiting list is 1.5k and you send the trade to the ForestofAltiuin shop mule. It’s an absolute guarentee you get a pet without the competition.
      • If time comes to pick, and you want more options, you have the option of passing your turn along to the next person in line and waiting for the next sale to come along, but you can only do this option ONCE. After that, you either chose a baby, or you’re pushed back down to the bottom of the list.
      • If you’re tired of waiting on the list, or you refuse to take a baby a second time and really don’t want to go to the bottom of the list again and would rather just opt out from the list altogether, you’re guarenteed a full refund of your money. Once you take a pet though, you do not get your money back, no matter how much begging. If you need an explanation as to why it works this way, I would be glad to give you one. Only if you haven’t chosen a pet and want to be taken off of the list completely, will you get your money back. Perminantly banned people will be given a full refund.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FLATSALE RULES

    "FSR"
    • PET quality prices are 2k each, and an additional 2k each if you want to convert over to a SHOW Quality pet at the time of purchase.
    • ALL JOURNIES are priced at between 5k-10k each. Sometimes this price will be a set amount, and sometimes we will allow the free range of 5k-10k and let people decide what they'd rather pay in that price range (The higher you pay, the better the find).
    • You may only try for one pet or Journey at EACH flatsale. This includes proxying and buying for someone else too.
    • DO NOT post saying you want a pet or Journey before I, or anyone else, says the flatsale has started. And don’t even think about changing your post. It will result in you being banned from the current flatsale as well as the next one.
    • NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER PM ME, OR ANY OF THE STAFF, FOR ANY REASON, before, during, or after a flatsale. Any and all questions must be posted IN THE THREAD ONLY.
    • Once winners are announced, those people need to send trades to THE SHOP MULE (Forest Of Altiuin) and post all required information, of which you'll be told what is required from you, IN THE THREAD. DO NOT PM ANYONE WITH YOUR PET INFO.
    • When sending your trade, make sure to state which Pet or Journey Slot you won, so we know who you are.
    • Once trades are complete, certs, when completed, will be posted in the thread and an announcement will be made as to what page # they’re on. NO ONE will be PM'd their certs!

EVERTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BREEDING!

  • Breeding is for SHOW quality pets ONLY.
  • Breeding fee is 4k per person for regular Nekunes and Equians, 6k per person for "Winged" Nekunes and "Special" Equians, and10k per person for anything that has edits or cosplay or similar. If you're breeding two pets that are not the same in group, you'll each pay different prices for that particular group. One person may pay for both people.
  • Breeding is free if you have a free breeding pass.
  • View the breeding slots below to check for availability.
  • Select the colorist you want to do your breeding that is able to, tell that person, IN THE THREAD, that you want them to do your breeding, and then send a trade for the correct amount to the FORESTOFALTIUIN SHOP MULE.
  • Once trade is accepted, egg and litter expectancy is about 3-4 weeks, sometimes longer depending on activeness in the thread.
  • If you want to ensure that you have 1 extra egg or cub in your breeding, you'll have to make an offering to the Star Spirits. Please check the Item Shop post for more info. You can have ONLY 1 extra egg or cub per breeding.
  • When eggs or cubs are born, they are posted in the thread and told what pg. # they're on.

For Nekunes and Equians:
  • When cubs and eggs are posted in the thread, the owners choose either to keep or give away the babies/eggs.
    • Nekune cubs do NOT get certed right away and passed out. For the first week after birth, they remain with their mother. After a week, when the cubs have begun to shed out and are old enough to leave their mother, they are then certed and passed out to the correct owner.
    • Equian eggs need no wait time and are certed and passed out without any waiting time for them to be ready.

  • If giving them away, give me EXACT usernames and I will PM them asking for information. If you're keeping any for yourself, the following information is needed at this point:
    • Owner
    • Name of pet
    • Type (show or pet quality).

  • For Nekune cubs, info on who gets which cub will be chosen AFTER shedding of the cubs has finished.
  • All cubs/eggs born are pre-determined gender.

  • You can breed as often as you like, as long as there are slots open.
  • You CANNOT breed two of the same gender.
  • You can have a total of two slots taken up, but ONLY ONE slot at a time from a colorist.
  • Sometimes slots will be open only for people who haven't had the chance to breed yet. When this happens, it will be mentioned in the slot.
  • Breeding will open up whenever a colorist wants to open up their slots, but ONLY after I, Misty55, say that breeding is available.
  • It will be posted in the thread when slots open.

PAYABLE BREEDINGS


Payable breedings can only be won if you win National Grand or Reserve Grand Champion at a National Show Event. To learn how to do this, read the Events post. Here are some common questions sure to be asked:
  • I can actually sell my babies? How does that work?
    When you win a payable breeding:
    • You have the chance to breed with whomever you choose, as long as the other person is ok with it.
    • You have twice as many babies. In example...if you normally would have 3 babies in a normal breeding, you'll now have 6. The catch though is that you can only sell all but 2 of the babies, meaning if you have 6 babies, you can only sell 4, and the other 2 must be given away or kept for oneself.
    • You MUST sell through the shop, either via flatsale or auction.
    • If you choose auction, you can auction ONLY 1 of your babies. The others must be sold through flatsale.
    • The shop gets 50% (25% colorist and 25% shop owner) and the breeders get 50% (25% for each breeder). All sales will be held by shop owner as well as distribution of gold. It is against the shop rules to sell a baby on your own, AND breed with yourself.
    • If you're caught to be the same person breeding two of your own pets, you will be dealt with appropriately. Black listed is the worst it can and might possibly get.
    • Once you've done a payable breeding, you must wait 6 months before you can win another payable breeding or even breed with someone who has a payable breeding. You can breed again normally, but no payable breedings for 6 months. If you were to win again at a National Show, other prize items would be given out instead of the payable breeding.

  • How come I only get 25% of the sale?
    Don't be selfish. If you even win a payable breeding, consider yourself extremely lucky. Payable breedings are hard to come by since they take a lot of work to get to. You should already know this by all the points you had to save up in order to qualify for the National Show Event.
  • Ok..so how does the sale work exactly?
    When you've decided who you're going to keep and who you're going to sell, and how you're going to sell them...a flatsale or auction, held by me, Misty55, will be done in the shop or seperate thread. Your babies will be sold just like a regular flatsale or auction, except that a part of the earnings will go to you. All sales will be treated like normal sales with asking the person if they'd like their pet to be show or pet quality, etc. If you choose to giveaway, make sure you're telling me who you're giving away to so I can talk to them about the show/pet quality option.

GENERAL EVENT INFO

Want to win free stuff, like gold, pets, items, services, and more?
Then come and join in on the fun of an event! We try to hold events once a month, but whenever we have time is more accurate. There are three different groups of events. These are:

  • Events for everyone, both owners and non-owners.
  • Events for just owners, for both pet and show quality
    AND
  • Events for owners with only show quality pets.

When an event is held, deeper explanation about how the event will work, is mentioned then, but here is a basic rundown of all 3 and some extra info.

  • Both the events for everyone, and the events for only owners:
    • These events are just for fun and help people who aren't owners, or who don't own show pets, a chance to win items that can only be won through an event or earned with hard work. Prizes are usually gold or free pets, and a few other things that aren't pricey.
    • These events have an entry fee of 50g per entrant.
    • These events are NOT Show Events. They are just your run-of-the-mill events.

  • Events ONLY for show quality pet owners:
    • These events are held not only for fun, but people who want to compete with other people for the best of the best prizes. These prizes consist of the normal prizes of gold and other items you could win at the other events, but these events also include the best prizes of all like customs, expensive items that are hard to get, Gaia items, pets that you'd only see in an auction, and the top prize...a payable breeding. Let's say that you could win just about anything.
    • Events can and will be cancelled if not enough people want to join the event, or they may be modified to accomidate lower numbers.
    • Events held only for show pets are called Show Events. There are 2 different kinds of Show Events. Regular and National shows.

      REGULAR SHOWS
      • There is usually an entry fee of about 50g per entrant, but sometimes events will be free to enter.
      • At each show, there are 3 rounds of competitions. Competitions just means that you have 3 different ways to earn a spot as winner. Competitions can be anything we want them to be, from treasure hunts and contests of all kinds, to questionaires, dice games, and speed based stuff.
      • When the event first starts up, there will be 4 different competitions held, one at a time. Winners are chosen from all 4 competitions for this round as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. These 12 total winners then move on to round 2.
      • In round 2, there is only 1 competition. This competition is split into 2 groups...the Nekunes and the Equians. Both compete in the same competition, but within their own species. This ensures both Nekunes and Equians have a fair chance at round 3. Winners are chosen from both groups as Champion and Reserve Champion. These 4 total winners then move on to round 3.
      • Round 3 has 1 competition for everyone. Winners are chosen as Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion.
      • Once round 3 has ended, the Show Event is over.
      • All winners receive ribbons and points, and the Grand and Reserve Grand Champions have the choice of a free picture with their pet, frame included. Please read the Items post for more details on pictures.
      • Points are so important. Points are your ticket to being able to enter into the National Show Event that happens after about 5 or so Regular Shows. Point system works as such:
        • Grand Champion = 30 pts.
        • Reserve Grand Champion = 25 pts.
        • Champion = 20 pts.
        • Reserve Champion = 15 pts.
        • 1st place = 10 pts.
        • 2nd place = 5 pts.
        • 3rd place = 2 pts.

      • Total amount of points earned will be shown in your cert so you can keep track of them with ease.


      NATIONAL SHOWS
      • There is no entry fee for a National Show, BUT you can't enter unless you have enough earned points. National Shows will NEVER be point free.
      • You must have at least 50 pts. in order to join a National Show. Don't worry...there will be enough Regular Show Events held so that people can work their way up to be able to join. Anyone with a show pet can join if they have enough points.
      • There are 2 rounds of competitions. These will be pretty hard with no fast winner, but they'll be fun too.
      • When the event first starts up, there is only 1 competition. This competition is split into 2 groups...the Nekunes and the Equians. Both compete in the same competition, but within their own species. Winners are chosen from both groups as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. These 6 winners move on to round 2.
      • Round 2 has 1 competition for everyone. Winners are chosen as National Grand Champion and Reserve National Grand Champion. This is the highest honor and winning position your pet can earn.
      • There are no points earned at a National Show.
      • Winners that don't get a National title after passing round 1, will still get some awesome prizes. These range from semi-customs and non-payable breeding tickets, to elder potions and blessings.
      • ALL winners also get ribbons and the choice of a free picture of your pet and you with a frame included if they want, and the top winners both have the option of a payable breeding on top of it all.
      • If top winners won in round 1, they will not win anything for winning that round, since they are already getting the best prize of all. If a payable breeding is not wanted, a custom may be chosen instead. Read more on payable breedings under the Breeding post, and more on pictures under the Items post.
      • Once a National Show has ended, all people that have points that couldn't attend the National Show, can cash in their points for gold.
      • Cash in is 2g per 1 point and must be cashed in within the week the National Show Event ends. If you fail to say you'd like to cash in your points, then they will be tossed out. Points are lost because a new show season has started and that's the way it works. Sorry...no rollover points xd The best you can do is cash them in on time.
