!!! Old Certing Thread DNP !!!

[Matope Arrivals]

Announcement June 02 2015:
From this point onward, please do not use any photobucket links in this thread. Please use the link as given to you by your colorist. Photobucket is very slow and crashes some of our certists' computers.

From this point on at Matope, we are asking that all users that acquire new Kin, or pets/familiars, post in this thread to get their certs! This should help make sure that everything is certed on time without any errors, and organize the influx of new arrivals.

So, if you have recently won or purchased in any manner a new Kimeti, Kiokote, Acha, Totoma, or Zikwa, or any kind of Pet/Familiar, please nab the form from the following post and make a new reply to this thread! Cert corrections should also go here, and will be done in order.

Please don't edit any posts in this thread. If you made an error, PM 'Matope Arrivals' with a note that you need it corrected.

All finished certs can be found here, in Matope Arrival's recent posts!

Note: We do not currently do recerts if you change your username. Sorry!

Certing Totoma

As there has been some confusion over naming Totoma, we have created a special post just for getting your Totoma certed! Instead of using the above forms, please use those below. Also, please read the following notes:

• All growing Totoma will be certed as 'Totoma' until they reach adulthood.
  
  
• Any non-growing Totoma should be named at certing, unless you have specific RP intentions for them without a name.
  
  
• Totoma names should never be purple or flowery, they should be as simple as possible, and the connection between the act that gave them their name and their name should be very clear. For example, Sneaks-About is a better name than In The Shadows, which is better than Phantom Footfalls, which is better than Clandestine. They have much less leeway/poetry than naming dream-based names.

If that's clear, use the following forms:

Individual Totoma form:

This form is intended for individual Totoma that were purchased or won.

Database Correction

The Owner's List Correction Thread has been out of commission since we retired the Owner's List. However, we noticed that people we noticed that people were still posting corrections there. While they have eventually gotten fixed, for the sake of organization and speed, we are moving database corrections to the certing thread.

Please use the following form to request a database correction.

[color=darkviolet][b]Cert Link:[/b] link cert here

[b]Description of Error:[/b] what's wrong? please make sure to provide an uncert link if the image is broken. additionally, please make sure to check if the image is simply not displaying due adblocker before reporting an image error.[/color]
