March 2, 2007 - Welcome to the new Drinkables! HQ. As most of you are probably aware, we've gone through some trouble, and the front page eventually decided to eat itself with pictures of freeways. (for those of you who are new, I'm not making this up. Don't believe me? Go here and see what I mean. We didn't do that.)

Isn't it nice to know that we'll probably never get to filling this post out? Really, it isn't important. :0 They're drinks in cups. Not high culture.

Stage One - The Cup
<img here>
Quote:
When you first receive your drinkable, it may appear as a harmless drink in a cup. Well, be warned. This isn't any ordinary cup or ordinary drink inside. In fact, a drinkable isn't meant to be drunk at all. Your main job at this stage is to keep this cup and the drink inside safe until the magic happens. Any spills of the liquid or cracks (or god forbid, full body breaks!) of the cup can and will result in permanent damage, if not the death of your child.
Stage Two - The Kid

Quote:
Congrats! You didn't break your cup in the first stage, and after a while of sitting out way longer than drinks should, a...kid has formed? (Note: Do not try this with real life drinks. Drinkables are infused with magic.) This kid is a bit sturdier than the drink in the glass in the previous stage, but some caveats still apply. Your drinkable child must be touching the liquid it is in at all times. Think of it as an extension of their body. Your drinkable child must never fully leave the cup. You must still never drink the liquid. The cup the drinkable is born into is its cup for this stage. You may not transfer it to any other vessel, even if it is your mother's nice Waterford crystal vase. At this stage, your drinkable can converse with you and others, however, it will display the mental prowess of a 5-9 year old, depending on intelligence and also how long they've been in that stage.
Stage Three - The Teen

Quote:
Due to recent developments in the Drinkables! plot line, a new mid-stage has started to surface! It seems to be triggered in a most mysterious manner, and accompanied by a strange pink mist! Drinkables in this stage are usually very cramped, and feeling that need to get out of the cup! Wouldn't you if you were squeezed in a tiny space all the time?
Stage Three - The Breaking
<img here>
Quote:
The breaking of the cup is something we have learned is a coming of age ritual for Drinkables. This shattering always occurs in private, and the Drinkable will usually be absent after. The time they are absent depends on the Drinkable. It is a very mysterious time in which some drastic changes occur and it could be hours, days, weeks or even months before the young one shows up again. It is said that this is time they take to find themselves, resulting in...
Stage Three - The Adult
<img here>
Quote:
Your once tiny drinkable is now a FULL GROWN adult. And I mean full grown. Somewhere in that experience of the 'breaking of the cup,' the once miniscule liquid child is now a human adult sized young adult. When they arrive, they may still be getting used to their new forms, but they will no longer be awkward, as it is speculated that much of the time in the breaking is used to acclimate themselves to their new bodies. In this stage, they will likely assert some serious needs for independence, as all that time they spent in the cup, they couldn't have any! So, let them have their space, but remember, they're still a bit naive about the ways of the world!

General Rules!
(Rules for All. ALL.)
Quote:
1. Do not copy the art. Do not steal the art. Do not EDIT the art. This is the number one rule here. Under all circumstances regarding this rule, you WILL be banned from the shop, and a Gaian Mod WILL be alerted. In otherwords, you will be in big trouble. Star works hard on the art. You didn't work hard on it. You don't deserve to steal it.
2. Do not PM Raife or lil_nekochild unless given permission in the thread first. All PMs, especially begging ones will be regarded as poison and dispensed with A.S.A.P. I have no toleration for beggers. If you have any experience at all with the Breeding Forum, you will know this is not in anyway a new philosophy. And please don't beg in the thread. It won't get you banned, but I probably won't look favorably on you.
3. Flamers are bad. A flamer, if you don't know, is someone who starts s**t in the thread. Here are a few of the things I do not want to hear:
a. "The art here sucks." - Star works really hard on the art. Any negative opinions of the art are your own. You can have them, just keep them to yourself.
b. "<Insert name of person here> doesn't deserve one/is a jerk/gave me an STD." - That's between you and that person. Don't bring your s**t into my thread.
c. Never....ever insult Star. If you have beef with this thread, take it to me. Me. Lay a finger on my artist, and I will blacklist you so fast your head will spin. Got it?
Depending on the situation, Flamers will be warned, possibly blacklisted, and maybe even banned. I'd like to keep good karma in my thread, okay?

Owner Rules!
Quote:
1. Trading/Selling your Drinkable is a no-no. In the case you can not take care of your Drinkable anymore, you will let us know, and provide a suitable replacement, or we will find one for you.
2. Roleplaying is required for growth. If you want your young charge to grow past its kid stage into a very sexy adult (very sexy, I promise you), then RPing is a must. If you don't...well....:O you're missing out.
3. You may have as many Drinkables as you can get your hands on through Auctions, Contests and Raffles, but you can only have one Flatsale Drinkable. This is to give other prospective owners without the funds needed for Auctions the ability to get a Drinkable.

Final Note: The only way your pet will get taken away from you is by committing a bannable offense. I.E. Stealing art, insulting my artist, and being an unrepentant flamer in the thread. Or, if you drink your Drinkable. Or, well, if you want it taken away. But that's another issue. There are other consequences though that will definately occur to rulebreakers.

(hopefully everything you need to know. READ THIS FIRST before asking questions about the drinkables. I'll know if you haven't.)
Quote:
Q: Well, first of all, what is a Drinkable?
A: Drinkables are breedable pets (If you don't know what a breedable pet is, read the helpful faqs at the top of the forum. You should do that anyway before coming in threads in the Breedable Forum.)based on different types of drinks. They vary in looks but remain humanoid. Their kid stage is only about 2"-3" tall. Tiny little things. Watch em carefully! Nothing yet is known about what their adult stages look like. You'll have to RP to find out!
Q: Oh....so....they're based on drinks. Can we tell what drink they are from the cup?
A: Usually no. In the case of auctions, and special contests, we will tell you what the drink is. But for the flatsales, it's completely random. Don't worry. They're all good. <3 I might run secret hidden "hint" RP sessions in the thread where the owners might be able to gain a hint as to what sort of liquid their cup possesses. I wouldn't advise drinking them. Again, drinking will result in loss of your Drinkable. I'm serious.
Q: Okay! I won't drink it! So...you're telling me that every one of these drinks is different?
A: Yes! Each one has new and different lineart, drawn by our own lil_nekochild! She's a brilliant artist, really. The adult stages are different too, and really sexy looking.
Q: So..what about this adult stage?
A: What about it?
Q: Well..is it the same as the kid and teen stages?
A: Well, no, actually! This is the great, fun part about Drinkables. Your RP helps determine what kind of drink your kid'll be as an adult.
Q: Really? They're different drinks as adults??! Wow!
A: Yes, really! Although the drink's adult stage will be in the same family of drinks in the kid stage (i.e. a brown liquid will likely remain a brown liquid), slight variations in the kid's personality might result in steering the kid towards the direction of one drink or another as an adult.
Q: Wow! Now I really want one! So...I hate to ask, but how much do these things cost?
A: Well, as breedable regulars know, Auction prices go for whatever the demand is. But for now, flatsales will go for 10k. I think it's a great deal! You're getting lineart with three distinct different stages! Each one unique to the drink! You're getting a whole new world of possibilities and endless RP possibilities and a new community! Plus Star's a hard worker and deserves some compensation for her art. Most of the profits here are going to her, so show her how much you love her with those auctions!
Q: So....now that I've saved up money, and am ready for a flatsale...here's exactly what I want. I want a milk drinkable...with black hair...and blue eyes...A: Sorry, but you don't get to pick what your breedable looks like, except under custom auction circumstances. For custom auctions, you will get to pick your kid stage, and we will discuss an adult stage with you that matches the personality you pick for your kid, unless you already have something in mind!
That's all I can think of right now for the general FAQ! I'll keep adding to it as I think of more things!

Quick recap:
1. Each breedable is unique.
2. Flatsales are 10k.
3. There's no guarantee on the drink you're getting based on what your liquid looks like.
4. They change drink form as adults.
Pet Trade Mini FAQ
Interested in a Pet Trade? Interested if we're interesteded in a pet trade? Well, keep a few things in mind:
1. Be prepared to be shot down, in thread. All PMs on the matter WILL be disregarded. You post HERE. If you can't handle public humiliation, you don't want it enough.
2. We are very very picky. There isn't really a lot Raife wants left, considering how long she's been around and that she's had a taste of some really damn good pets. So 90% of the decision is in Star's hands, and Star's the one who has to draw for these things, so rightly so.
3. Some things will get an automatic pass, and you'll see why:
<None, ATM>
(These are the only things I'd venture to begging Star to draw for. That's because they're damn slick. Chances are, I won't BEG her for anything else. But I may leave it up to her if she considers.)
4. A good way to get your foot in the door (but this in no way guarantees you anything) is to offer us both pets. Your mojo will thank you, and if we like them, we won't have to decide who gets one, whatnow and the hoosekow.
5. To show that you've read this Mini-Faq, please mention Benson in your Other section.
Still interested? Your Pet Trade Form...Here:
Name:
Person Who the Drinkable Will Go To: (If not yourself)
What You're Offering in Exchange: (Number, Type (Custom, Regular, Etc, and talk a little about it. Is it RP heavy? Etc, etc.)
Your Breedable's Main Thread:
What You Want In Return: (Custom, Regular, One, Two, Fifty Drinkables)
Other: Ham it up here...Write whatever the ******** you want. But You will be graded on it.
Post this IN THREAD only.
Finally, Bribes:
Bribes will have to be damn adequate. Our last auction included two december letters, a november letter, and some amount of gold. Raife whole heartedly likes '03 letters, but it would take atleast an '03 October to bribe her into bugging Star. She HATES bugging Star. As for what Star might like, we'll see. heart
