[OOC] Newbie/Oldbie Thread: Questions and Advice

[Andranis]

Okay, this one's just a clarification one - On the two litter customs thing for Mix-n-Match months, does it have to both be in Mix-n-Match litters, or can it be in two regular breeding litters? I have a couple breedings I want to custom into this month, but I dunno if I can custom into both, or if I should wait for next month for the other.

Meep said it's just for the mix-n-match months, BUT you can use one custom-in for a mix-n-match breeding and one for the CC breeding thread, if you wanted.

Oh really..? Even if both litters aren't yours? I did not know thaaaaat o:

Cause I've customed into a Mix n Match litter, but it's nice to know I could possibly custom into another one~ But only if it's not Mix n Match?  

[[Eskimo]]

What Saf said. XD

8.) Regarding litter customs: For mix-and-match months only, you may have two breeding customs, but only if you used both of them for your own breedings. If you want to custom into someone else's litter, you get one. Period.

 

[Andranis]

So then not both CC breeding litter? Which is what I was wanting to clarify on xd  

[Manda]

Ooh I see. Got it :3

I have some questions! :0
Is it possible to get a God multiple mortal forms? I've seen a god as a familiar, could you additionally get it as a normal lion or anything else?
Are mortal forms restricted to lions?

I think there aren't any rules on this at the moment, because its been a fairly recent thing.

My two cents: A god can cast an illusion of looking like something else, thus could appear any way he or she chose at any time, including species, color, and gender. That would suggest that you could have multiple ways of having your god appear. As far as buying actual art for it, that's a bit tricky. Technically, you can buy a custom to look however you wanted, and there are no rules against saying that what you bought is a mortal illusion for your god. So until the rules say otherwise, I would say yes.

Since the 1,000 word minimum for SRPs seems to be a set thing, which, I will say, I'm not happy about due to some of my SoA being unable to get ANY RP beyond an SRP no matter HOW much I ask for RP for them from others... Do I have to go back and edit old RPs? Because quite a few of my SoA, the SRPs are a month to two YEARS old that are unused :/

We set the 1000 word limit so there would be some easily defined 'bar' as to what was legit or not, otherwise colorists are very uncertain how to judge the length of the self RPs people do.

If you have two smaller RPs that make over 1000 words together (but not each alone), you can go ahead and combine those two RPs to count as a single finished RP. <3  

[Andranis]

But none of the RPs have enough of a thing to do with each other to count as one RP. They're often set far too far apart, and have drastically different settings.  

[~Masamune~]

o3o I figured that the self-RP thing applied to SRPs where you're only using one SoA. Literally, that SoA is being RPed on its own, thinking/hunting/etc. Does the 1000 word thing apply when you're RPing two of your own SoAs together? Like, lets say you're RPing two of your SoAs together, and you make a 14 post RP (something that would be acceptable with two different owners).

Would that RP count or not?  

[Andranis]

Masa, I always use two SoA, I can't monologue just one SoA xd ;;

I'm not sure I fully understand that example, Felyn, but then... I don't count how many words my RPs have. I start it, I work on it for a total of 16 'posts' with a thick paragraph each, and then I finish it. My hitch with this rule is coming from, I HATED English class, and this rule is making me feel like I'm writing an English paper. Ask my teachers, I did not like writing papers, and if they gave me a research paper to do... I out-right did not do it, because I hated it :/ And I do not like having to meet what I feel is a tight, stringent standard, because that makes my work feel like I'm writing an English paper and that's taking the FUN out of it, like English took the fun out of reading for me for a LONG time, and I LOVE to read for the fun of it.
