06-16-05: Setting up new thread.

1. The price is 8k.
2. Do not post your entry until a BIG RED LETTERS 'GO' post is posted. A flat sale only starts when this appears in the thread.
3. Once you post your entry, you MAY NOT EDIT. Editing results in an immediate disqualification and you won't get another chance for that flatsale.
4. Those with grypons are free to participate in flat sales unless specified otherwise.
5. I'll post the chimuians a few of days before the flatsale itself.
6. You can only get one chimuian per flatsale, though if you want to get one for a friend as well you can do that.
7. Please post only one selection. Do not post, "I'd like #1 please, or if that's taken then #3, or if that's taken then #4." That's not fair to anyone else.
8. Post either the color or type you want. And please be specific, I do not want to guess which one you want. If I can't figure out what chimuian you picked, I will skip your entry.
9. I will post the rules again right before the flatsale(10 minutes).
10. Please refrain from posting within that ten minutes because it makes others jumpy.
11. All flat sale must contain the phrase "Gryphons who fly high will live long"
12. If you cannot pay for your chimuian within 24hours of winning it, then do not apply.





1. The price is 8k.
2. Do not post your entry until a BIG RED LETTERS 'GO' post is posted. A flat sale only starts when this appears in the thread.
3. Once you post your entry, you MAY NOT EDIT. Do not worry about minor typing errors. Mistakes happen. We are more concerned with RP style and structure than every little typo possible.
4. Entries received the same minute as my STOP will be accepted but none after. No exceptions unless gaia is being an absolute pain. Then it is our call if we wish to extend the sale.
5. All flat sale entries must contain the phrase "Gryphons who fly high will live long" somewhere in the post. It can be at the bottom of your entry, at the top, or even in the middle of your entry. It must be there to prove you read the rules.
6. If you cannot pay for your chimuian within 24hours of winning it, then do not apply.
7. Those with gryphons are free to participate in flat sales unless specified otherwise. It is encouraged, however, for current owners to let some new folk get in on the fun of RPing.
8. I will post the rules again right before the flatsale(10 minutes).
9. Please refrain from posting within that ten minutes because it makes others jumpy.
10. After the judging, I will pick the winners by 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place and they will get to pick their gryphon according to the order you won in.
11. You have 24 hours after the 'Go' post to get your entries in.
12. You may only try for a gryphon for yourself. Gifting your gryphon away is not allowed unless it is from a breeding.
13. It's highly recommended to read other RP post in the guild to get a better feel of what you are expected.
14. Please spell-check your entry. It helps on my eyes.





1. Starting Bid is 3,000g.
2: You have to start at the level of the starting bid... there are NO ACCEPTIONS to this. It's called the starting bid for a reason.
3: Bid increments are by 1000g each increase upon the previous bid.
4: No amount of whining will change the winner or the price of the starting bid. Get that out of your head and deal with it.
5. The auctions will run for varied amounts of time. Be sure to check for starting and ending times!
6. Co-owning, at this time, is NOT allowed unless stated otherwise. Sorry. XD;
7. Under NO circumstances may you edit your posts.
8: Once you win- send the trade and a name for your gryphon.
9. All bidders are responsible for knowing all the General Rules
10. No sniping. New bidders must bid before the last hour. If people are still bidding in the last 10 minutes, there will be an extension of 10 more minutes until no more bids are being made.
11. No retracting bids without damn good reason.
12: Once the auction is over, it's over. End of story.
13: Items are allowed- but letters will be taken mid LD price and we ask that you post it's worth along side it when bidding. Please no Mummy Masks, Grass Skirts (of any kind), or things like that. If you simply must bid those, they will be taken at sellback price.
14. Bids are to have item prices included if you are using items and a final total at the bottom.

Example:
I bid: 1 x Solar Headdress - 4,400g
1 x Spirited Socks -200g (OMG please don't bid one of these)
-------------------------------
Total = 4,600g




1: You are allowed to buy tickets up to the maximum amount. Each raffle will vary in price for each ticket and the max amount you're allowed to buy.
2: All raffles will be chosen by Randomizer.org to keep it fair.
3: Tickets must be paid for up front.
4. Specific numbers are not available, so slots are awarded in the order people post.
5. Sending me a trade without telling me how many tickets you want will result in the trade being denied.
6. You may buy tickets for others however much you want.
6. Understand that we have lives. Really, we do. The ticket list may not be updated right away!
7: If you lose better luck next time. Feel free to lurk on the page for another raffle later on.

Please fill out this form and send it to the mule, Chimuianguide if you want your Chimuian to grow. In the title, put 'Growing Form'. Mind you, we can only do so much at a time.



Now if there's something on the certs that you wish for someone to fix or edit that doesn't have to do with the chimuian itself, please send this form. In the title, put 'Edit Cert' or 'Fix Cert' or something along those lines.

There are many graphitic traits that begin to show towards puberty. It's then that the young gryphon is given his or her class to further train and become prominent in. These classes assert their place and function in the tribe and insure that the whole population is benefited from defense to providing of care for basic tasks.

Sky-Dancers:
Young gryphlets who are naturally agile are most likely to become sky-dancers. They must show agility and air maneuverability at an early age that surpasses those of their fellow gryphons. Their functions mainly include performing ceremonial dances at festivals and other special events, but in battle they are particularly useful. Their agility and grace makes for a target that isn't easily hit and it's them that relays messages back and forth, delivers the wounded from danger, and lure foes into traps.

Spell-Weavers:
Basically graphitic mages. Each spell weaver can feel the aura from the sentential and is assigned an element from the elder resting within the sentential. Over the course of their life they train to better understand and use their magic. Gryphons, however, cannot use staffs instead they rely on weaving magical knots to summon their elements. They resemble cat's cradles to dream catches- each knot differs for each element.

Healers:
Gryphons who have a natural ability to treat the wounded go on to learn healing magic and techniques. Though gryphons are not the most capable or healing-magics they are gifted with functional front claws that can serve as hands which help in bandaging, surgery, and what not. There are a few that are gifted with a high sense of white magic.

Care-Takers:
Gryphons who are naturally kind-hearted and understanding towards each other are put in charge of the hatching eyrie and the youngsters there until they are old enough to fend for themselves. They often times will hunt for small game for the gryphlets to eat- later bringing them back alive to give the young ones something to practice on. Often times there will be more female care-takers than males and it's perhaps one of the more common classes in the tribes but also one of the most essential.

Seer:
A very rare trait that is often found among gryphlets with glowing eyes. These are the gryphlets able to see the future or the present elsewhere. They are useful in predicting trouble from other tribes and disasters. However, it's been recorded that only one seer has ever lived at one given time. (The seer will be chosen to be one of the staff members so the plot doesn't get out of hand with their future sight.)

Warriors:
The more courageous and strong of the gryphons become warriors. They train from an early age to learn to fight- using the most of their entire body in battle. They are perhaps the most glorified of the classes as they are the ones to defend the tribe from trouble.

Scholar:
The more studious of the gryphons find an early interest in the history and writings of the tribe. Once selected for their post they study for hours a day to become scholars themselves, historians, song-writers, and map keepers.

Bards:
Gryphons with a passion for music become bards at an early age. Very few instruments are usable by gryphons as they have no lips for winds. Lutes (which are plucked carefully by the rounds of their fingers) and drums make the majority of their instruments. Songs are learned and often sun to accompany the sky dancers at ceremonies and festivals.
