~Ships born of miracles never go down in sight of land.~

Sometimes, on Earth, there are special things that happen, that are found.
Sometimes, these things happen to common people who don't expect them.
Sometimes, these things are found in dusty boxes.

News and Announcements Thread

This thread in the guild will be used to post any news or announcements about the shop and the staff. Please check there for the latest happenings!

LAST UPDATE: 1/21/2009

From Ferret:

I sincerely apologize for not being around... at all. I've been busy, and my willpower to do things for this shop has dropped to below zero. However, I do realize that I've left you waiting long enough, and things need to get done. If you have an ulaya that I did that hasn't grown, please post so in the link below. Also, if you have a prize that I owe, post there as well. Reguarding customs... I really am sorry, but I'll be canceling the outstanding trades that I have. I just don't have the time. However, if for whatever reason you have a custom that you already paid for... (I don't THINK their are any, but I'm not sure? O_o) Please post so there as well.

Again, I'm so sorry. sad I'm officially resigning as colorist, and after I get this work done, I won't be taking on anything more. Thank you for being so patient.

LINK!

ANNOUNCEMENT 6/27/2008:

There are going to be some changes made to the shop. Yessiree.

Future Gods
Gods will be released on a limited scale from now on. There are just too many of them popping up everywhere at the moment and I [Tani] don’t want many more for now. >_> From now on, full-time colorists will be able to do a maximum of:
> ONE Godling Custom slot per month OR ONE Upgrade slot per month.
> ONE breeding between two Godlings per month.
> ONE bribe breeding between Godlings OR ONE bribed Godling.
This includes CWP and gold customs. This may change in the future if I feel the population is kept under control for a while.

God Upgrades
Now, if you have an existing ulaya, you can upgrade it to a God/dess. Basic upgrades start at 750K. Expensive? Well, we don’t want everyone just getting a ulaya in whatever fashion and then spending a low amount to get it upgraded. Edits are not included and will cost extra. This should NOT become a main way of getting a God/dess. The existing ulaya should be well roleplayed so as to have an established domain and also have been in existence for at least 6 months.

Also, I plan on having most of everything back in the swing of things by mid-July on my side. So there’s something to look forward to?

Plan on a flatsale soon, and maybe some events in the near future.

General Rules
[1] Follow all Gaia rules / ToS.
[2] No flaming / discouraging other people in the thread. If you must speak with someone about their behavior, send it in a PM. We don't want any drama here.
[3] Send PMs to this shop mule, Jokoa`, only!
[4] Don't steal the art or claim it is yours. The lineart was drawn by DawnieChan, not you. She is the only one who can say she drew it... as she's the only one that did. ^^
[5] All staff members have a life outside of Gaia. Do not become angry if something seems to be "taking too long." You should probably understand by now that stuff happens.
[6] Please keep advertising limited to your sig. If someone asks you where you got a certain pet or something, posting a link to that shop is fine. Just don't over do it.
[7] Payment is due in 24 hours. If payment is not received, your pet will be resold.
[8] No refunds unless a job cannot be completed by the colorist.
[9] You are allowed to give your pet to a friend, but selling it is against the rules. Selling pets from a breeding is also not allowed. See page 2 for more information on how to deal with breeding pets.
[10] Don't ask someone for their pet, to co-own their pet, or a box from a breeding.

Flatsale Procedure

Flatsales will normally be held one of two ways: speed-flatsale or "flaffle." You may only win ONE pet in a flatsale, no matter the type of flatsale or if it is through proxy.

Speed flatsales are run traditionally. You will be given instructions on what you should post and when you should post. This mule or another staff member will post "GO" in large bold red. At that point you may then request a flatsale pet. If you are one of the first people to post, you will get a new pet. Any posts before the "GO" post will be disregarded and most likely disqualify you from that flatsale.

"Flaffles" are run like combined flatsale-raffles. For a specified period of time users will be allowed to claim tickets. At the end of that time period, a full list of all participants will be listed. Then the random number generator will be used to decide the winners, So, if ten people participate, a random number from 1 - 10 will be chosen. If the same number is chosen more than once, we will rechoose a number. The order the winners are chosen in is the order that they will get to chose a pet.

Flatsale Rules
[~] Prices in flatsale pets may vary. They will usually cost around 5K.
[~] Payment is due within 24 hours.
[~] You may proxy for ONE person who has shown interest in the shop beforehand.
[~] No guilt tripping winners, no being a sore loser.
[~] You may only win ONE pet per flatsale event.
[~] If you are proxying for someone else, you either must chose a pet for them or have a proxy list ready at the time of participating.
[~] These may be co-owned between 2 people if desired.

Raffle Procedure

All planned raffles will occur in the Jokoa` Sales Thread.

Raffles are run traditionally. Interested users buy tickets and are assigned numbers. At the end of that time the ticket numbers are then randomized to determine winners.

Raffle Rules:
[~] Tickets cost 100g each.
[~] Items will be valued at 90% of the tektek daily value.
[~] You CAN win more than one pet/prize via the same raffle. You CANNOT win two pets/prizes in a row. So, for example, if while rolling, you're rolled once, and then the next roll you're chosen again, that will be rerolled. But if you're rolled once, then someone else is rolled, then you're rolled again that roll is kept as valid.
[~] If the same number is rolled as a previous turn the choice will be rerolled. [Like in a real raffle. They take the ticket out.]
[~] Don't be a sore loser, don't guilt trip someone.
[~] Any trade that is unfinished in 24 hours will get you greylisted, and, if you won something, your pet will be taken away and reraffled. [If you warn us that you will be away or may not be online, this is not a problem]
[~] If you do not come in and claim a prize within 48 hours of your name being rolled [again, special circumstances will be excused] then your name is put at the end of the list. Gotta be attentive, guys!
[~] These may be co-owned between two people, if desired.

Auction Procedure

Auctions really are a no brainer. Bid money that you have on a pet that you like. If you have the highest bid at the end then you win! Auctions close at the specified time [or at the time the snipe guard pushes it to] whether or not a staff member is present to close them.

Auction Rules
[~] Only bid what you have!
[~] Don't retract bids. It's not nice. >O
[~] There will always be a snipe guard in effect unless specified. Snipe guard is usually 30 minutes. Any bid made within 30 minutes of the end of the auction will extend the auction for 30 extra minutes from the end time. For example, if the auction is supposed to end at 9:00, and you place a bid at 8:47, the auction will be extended to 9:30.
[~] Want to bid items? Items will be taken at 90% the tektek value at that time. An item retains that value for the duration of that auction.
[~] 24 hour rule! Payment must be received within 24 hours or your pet will go to the second highest bidder.

Breeding, Customs, Bribes, Pet Trades:
Please visit the guild to find out about breeding, pet trades, bribes and customs.

We have the right to edit, add, or delete any of these rules at any time.

Above: Common Ulaya, male silhouettes on top, female silhouettes on bottom.

Box: Ahh, you've finally found your box! Blow off the dust to see what it really looks like. Right now, it can't do much, but soon a beautiful Ulaya will emerge from your box! But not until it trusts you. No peeking!

Child: D'aww. How sweet. Your Ulaya has come out of the box it was hiding in. It can move around well and is instinctively curious, like any child would be. Keep an eye on him or her and make sure they stay out of trouble!

Adult: You finally have a grown up Ulaya. He or she can now breed and is a full grown beaut. Congratulations!

For information on how to roleplay appropriately, please visit the DaisyCode!

Our shop enforces the DaisyCode for roleplay and hope you will read through that great guide and enjoy roleplay!

At Jokoa`, roleplay is not required to keep your pet. Nonroleplayed pets, however, will not get full litters while breeding. You can learn more about this by reading about breeding in the guild.

The Setting:
Ulaya all live on a small island, save the Vraireve pack who dwell on Dreamers' Isle which floats above the main isle. The island has many different climates and terrains. Most of the island is lightly forested.

Most RP will happen in the Roguelands. The roguelands cover a majority of the island, and have terrain from desert, to beach, to forest, to tundra at higher altitudes.

Specific packs often have specific areas on the island as their domain. You can read about specific settings in each of the packs' respective subforums.

Seers and Shamans:
There are only two gem colors that are very important in the Jokoan world: light blue and white.

A Light Blue gem only appears on the forehead of a seer. Seers have a 6th sense for how other Ulaya, and humans, can feel and are often ailed themselves by these feelings. Along with this, they have an uncanny ability to predict events, being able to see the past present and future. There ability "to see," though, is often clouded and they will have trouble knowing what they do see. Often it will be flashes of different moments in time or possibly just noises.

Not all visions are completely accurate or will happen at all. Changes in paths may lead to changes in the future. What one seer sees now could change when another ulaya enters the picture. This only adds to the uncertainty of their visions, which are often in snapshots anyways. Very few ulaya have completely clear, accurate visions more than once in a lifetime.

Seers are the offspring of a God and a mortal, or possibly two mortals but this is highly unlikely. If you are interested in your ulaya being tested for Seer capabilities, you can PM the mule with your request. Your pet will then be rolled to test the ability. First, two 6-sided dice are rolled. If the numbers match [IE: 1 and 1, 5 and 5, etc.] your ulaya has genes from it's parents that may allow it to be a seer. Then, one 6-sided die is rolled. If that number matches the ones rolled previously, your ulaya will be able to access these genes and be a seer!

A White gem adorns a ulaya with the powers of a shaman. A shaman has a weak magical ability in at least one element. The shadowing on the gem can often determine what element that ulaya specializes in. A redish tone is fire, bluish is water, green is earth, etc. Depending on their gem and their age they may be able to cause small rainstorms, move objects with their mind, who knows. They are the rarest type of ulaya to be found.

Shamans are the spawn of two seers and sometimes the spawn of a god and a mortal. If your ulaya is a shaman, it will be determined before you acquire it and there is no way to try and see if a currently existing ulaya has shaman abilities.
