Welcome to...

ZOIDS_DC

Good morning, or evening, mine peeps!

I guess it's not much of a surprise, and I should have made a post like this a long while ago. The shop ZOIDS DC is more or less CLOSED. If in the future I get time to re-open it and actually do good work on it (to include art), it will open again. There are just a lot of things to work on and I don't have time.

-Puddles and Blade; I will still do art for the Evolved ZOIDs and the two organoids. I haven't forgotten. Sorry it is taking so long to do.

-Even though this shop portion is closed, I am still keeping the guild open. RP will still be going on, hopefully, if you guys still would like to.

Thank you guys for hanging in so long, even though there was a severe lack of anything going on. I still love this story and adore all of your characters. They are and will continue to be a hoot and a half. This was one on of the things I looked forward to, working on the story line for this place.

Best wishes,
-GunSniper

Introduction: Welcome to the Dark Century of Zoids. This shop is a heavy RP based off of Hasbro's robotic life forms known as Zoids. Be sure to read everything on the front as it is important and will help lessen confusion.

Rules:

Rule above all: Respect the staff and non staff. Respect others! Not complying to this rule will end up in a black list or a grey list depending on the offense. The staff here works hard and they do not need disrespect from anyone. If you can care less about what we do than that is fine, but respect us none the less.
Also respect those around you. Even though they are not staff they do just as much work keeping this place alive, if not more. If you want respect give it to others.

1. DO NOT STEAL! Theft of any kind will get you on the black list and you WILL be reported to a mod.

2. Please respect everyone staff and non staff alike. ( I post it again because we are full of love )

3. Don't talk L33t... Use your vocabulary! Please!

4. Keep everything PG-13

5. If you have a Zoid and haven't posted within the thread in approx. 2 months a warning PM will be sent to you. You have one week to respond before action is taken. Your Zoid will be re-sold with no refunds and you will also be gray listed until further notice.

6. If you plan to go on hiatus, Post in the Hiatus thread in the guild, or if the guild is not up pm the mule.

7. No PMing staff for shop related issues. (unless it's very urgent and not found on the front)

8. Please refrain from Yaoi/Yuri conversations in this thread. Some people are not very comfortable reading about this topic. If you feel the need to talk about it go to the chatter box or PMs.
This also includes politics or religion guys. We want this to be a comfortable environments for all yes?

9. It is fine if you have an opinion about something, but don't go out of your way to post something just to piss someone off. If you want respect you have to get it.

10. It's pretty much common sense guys, but please do not advertise in this thread. It's pretty rude.

-Event soon-

2012

[August 21- 2012] Nothing much to report on. Republic meta is officially over. I'm working on some banners for the front of the shop. And lastly I will be go through our members once more for another purge.
Rogue Meta is on the way next!

[March 23- 2012]Republic Military Raffle/Murder Mystery~
News: [X]
Meta Thread: [X]

This is a non-mandatory military event. (Meaning you don't have to participate, but it would be nice...) If you don't have a pilot to play you can get a quest thread set up [HERE] And play with that character. (Keep in mind a character still needs to be critiqued in-order to get a journal and be fully apart of the guild. Also Keep in mind this is a REPUBLIC event. All pilots going for any of these ZOIDs need to be in the Republic army) But RPing is a good way to character develop. :3

There will be four ZOIDs that will be given away (I know it says raffle, but all of them -may- not be given in that way. We'll see how this goes) The two very special Command-Wolves will be given via special means as the do come with Organoids. There is also a Pteras and a Snipe Master. Only one was given away.

[March 21- 2012] I've removed anyone who did not respond to the Guild Announcement within the time limit. Next step will be to move character journals to the "Deceased/Discharged/MIA" thread. (Thank you Deadly Nonchalance for the idea for that thread. <3)
If you've noticed that you have been removed from the guild and realize you still want to participate you have until your character is in that thread to respond. Once "deceased" is by your characters name they are no longer alive in this setting and their ZOIDs will be re-homed or destroyed. (( All journals have been moved)) Once all inactive member Journals have been moved I'll go through my files to see how many still have a PSD file still... and we'll go from there. I did not remove anyone who had a "*" by their name in the owners list. None of those ZOIDs will be given away.
Thank you guys for sticking with us. We're getting there slowly.
-Sniper

[March 14- 2012] Okay, done some cleaning on the front page and will be moving to the guild next. If you have time could you guys check out the "How are we doing?" thread and let me know of any suggestions you have for making this place better? I'm needing some help organizing thoughts, ideas, and what not... Thank you much for the time! :3
-Sniper

2010

[Febuary 10- 2010] A good friend was able to get my computer back up and running. However I still need to rely on Thalion for any art projects. Because of this I have limited art access, but RPing will hopefully still be a regular thing for me.

[January 16- 2010] Due to GunSniper's Computer having major issues, to the point she cannot even get the thing started, ZOIDs will be on hiatus until something can be solved with it.

2009

[December 14- 2009]Take Command, An Elite Command Wolf Odd auction. [Here]

[December 13- 2009]RPs (not just the ones with Staff Members) Can lead to missions without any warning. Which means prizes. Minis, ZOIDs, and possibly even Organoids. A Mod will let you know (in your RP thread) when an RP has turned into a mission. We will not post in the shop thread or PM you when this has happened. It is up to you guys to keep track.

Also, missions might be posted in the thread for people to grab. (Depending on what side your character is on.) Be on the look out. Be sure to read the posts carefully, some might have restrictions. Anything from Dr, Fox is for any pilot regardless of side.

Lastly, Command Wolves, We now have them. Thank you to Dreamer for Sketching for us.

[September 21- 2009]Small note regarding the Rogue and Formal RP p.342. [Here]

[November 15- 2007] GunSniper will be gone until the 18th or 19th. Be good guys and have fun. I do have peeps keeping an eye on the thread, so be nice and follow the rules.

Current Senate: (A bunch of people)

Current General: Gen. Nicodemous E. Whitebane. [Journal]

The Rogue and Mercenaries:

Government: -None-

King of Rogues/Mercenaries: "Ander"

Uniform Zoids: Rogues and Mercenaries have no uniform zoids. Most of them are either stolen from the Republic or Empire, or custom built by some independent developer.

Information: Rogues and Mercenaries are a neutral group. They may go to aid one side or the other depending on pay, but most of them are not trusted by the Republic or Empire. Hiring one is a desperate move by either side. They are often referred to as Pirates by both sides and highly looked down upon by both side's government.
Some develop gangs or groups with an appointed leader, but over all there is no one person controlling them.

They are usually located in small villages or in camps just in the desert.

The Unknown:

Government: -Unknown-

Uniform Zoids: Strange groups of terrifying zoids with bio armor. Little of them are actually seen.

Information: Not much is known about this group. Not even what they call themselves. It is extremely rare to encounter of of these "Ghost Zoids". Even so it is also deadly. Only one has had an encounter with one of these strange persons and survived.

One thing that is noted about this group is that they despise the previous groups and have an alignment with no one.

Their location is also unknown at this time.

Becoming Part of a Group:

This goes along with the custom order form. You will get to pick your side, but only if they are open. This is just to keep from everyone crowding to the Rouges/Mercenaries, the Repubic, etc.

You may switch alignments after you have bought a zoid, but there is a re-certing fee AND you have to have a very good reason... This means you have to have an RP and everything. We will look for the switch being a reasonable one.

Unknown group is closed until we get to that point in the main story line.

Republic: -Open- (Unlimited)

Empire: -Open- (Unlimited)

Rouges/Mercenaries: -Open- (Unlimited)
