Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was waiting for someone else to response first, but sine no one is....I love the little fox! It's so cute! Also, maybe Skye, Cheria, and Teito can hang out when Skye and Cheria get to Hoenn for those star shards. ^_^ Doesn't...help you right away, but....

Yes. I did actually. But, I assumed I couldn't have an egg because it wasn't specified that it was an option. Yes, I asked if it was alright if I could have the Flurry I claimed be an egg, but it would be hatched by the time Maiku got to Snowbelle to see what his parents wanted to show him. Had I known I could give it to him directly, I would have.

Loonamist and the other mods cheated a lot of people out of this opportunity by not sharing her plan, or at least not making it an option. I'm with Sythril on this. I also want to say that we're not idiots or lacking in creativity just because we assumed we had to follow the claims specified. You know? Like any other prize claim ever? Sorry we were trying to be good citizens and follow the rules.

Ok, where in the rules does it say you can't? And before you say "where in the rules does it say you can" let me tell you one simple easy thing. Loon is a mod, yes, and while I will be the first to admit she is one of my favorites(this is 100% completly irrelevant and besides the point) I've never ever known her to cheat. The rules didn't say yes or no, so she took matters into her own hands by asking. Just because no one else asked via pm or just because they didn't say that you could do it in the claim event doesn't mean she cheated. Cheating is defined as an act of unfainess in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage. That brings me back to my first point. She's not gaining an advantage, in fact she is making it more difficult for herself to claim the Pokemon.

What I'm trying to say and what she is ever so politely trying to explain is she's sorry that there was the miscommunication and you thought you were unable to claim your Pokemon as an egg. Unfortunately she happens to be a mod and so it gives this perception that she took advantage of the system. I assure you that if it had been anyone else, say Shadow or Lia or even myself no one would have batted an eye. It's OK if you feel she cheated, but if you can't explain how it provides her with an unfair advantage then your definition of cheating is warped and misused

Sythril and Loonamist both have good points. It's sort of ridiculous, especially when there's no right or wrong in the situation. I side with Sythril, but I see both veiws. So, how about we all just shut up about it and get on with our lives? It's been resolved. God damn.


Thanks for offering. I'll try to figure something out until then. sweatdrop

I appreciate your vote of confidence, Kou <3 It made me extremely happy to read that. I think at this point, though, we can all agree that there was some misunderstanding, some matters of symantics, and I think we can move on. I understand that if there are options that someone asks about, that it's best it be at least noted somewhere in the guild, and hopefully it's also understood that there's only so much we can do on telling everyone what their options are. Hopefully in the future this won't be a concern, and we'll be sure to at least mention this particular matter in future events.

is this about the monthly giveaways?

Just because something is noted doesn't mean it's rresolved. Here is how I see the logic as you have claimed it. It's unfair for the mods to say after the fact that you can do something. Yet the fact that they even said you could should be something for you to be happy about regardless of how late after the fact it is. I feel like your getting it twisted by using a tunnel vision version of being upset. At least she said "Hey you can do this" vs "Because Im a Mod and I said so" there is a saying back in Italy that basically says something is better than nothing. And even if its late, at least you know you can. I apologize for digging in on the subject I just really don't think it's right to tell her she's wrong for telling you that you can do something

She claimed it in the last Fakemon giveaway.


I don't recall Sythril or anyone saying she was wrong for making her claim an egg. Just that it was wrong that she didn't at least inform others. Two people, as far as I know, still need to claim their Fakemon after all. She could have shared the opportunity, for them and future claims. These are Pokémon that aren't findable in the wild or given out all that often, and I don't think they can be bred either. If there's a way to make Fakemon claims more useful and even beneficial towards character plot and development, I think it's only right people put their ideas out there for others to at least think about.
