... I fail to understand the necessity of Mule accounts in Gaia.

Traditionally, the term was used for characters in online games whose only purpose was to hold all the items you didn't want to get rid of but didn't have intentory space for. As far as I know there is no inventory limit in Gaia... though I could be wrong on that, I suppose.

... I assume you're just using the term to refer to Alt accounts... but that's just weird to me as an online gamer. Crazy Gaians and their perversions of gaming lingo.


This totally off-topic post brought to you by random boredom.

Personally, I prefer the term sock puppet. It's BBS lingo, which is what Gaia effectively is, and it's far more accurate in this case.

I'm assuming the chief use of mule accounts on Gaia is to amass more Daily Chance Items, "First Posting Bonus" gold, and so on.

I actually briefly considered making a female account for Tabitha Reed, since you're talking about using them to represent RPG characters...but I decided I really shouldn't. See, Tabitha changes hair colors regularly, and I'd be far too tempted to change the avatar's hair color to match her. You can't store hairstyles in your inventory. I'd have to give Salon Durem more gold every time Tabitha switched personalities.

Mules- Second and third accounts so you can play one character on each name.
Or Gaians that want to stock up on daily chance items and first posting gold, like Pory said.

Pory, if you like I can lend you my Elemental or Mythical hair for a female account. You can change the hair styles with them as much as you like. I don’t use them often.

I was good with just my main account, but I figured that it would be amusing to go on and create a male mule account at Amby's suggestion. He'll probably come in handy more in Bebop than he will in X-Men, but hey, whatever works.

It's kind of funny though...as soon as I created him, he was promptly welcomed by a number of girls, in both messages and friend requests.

The following areas still need to be set up:
-Dreigania (Who is running this?! Does anyone want to run it?)
-Selenica (Pory)

I'd like to get us open by the weekend if possible so lets hop to getting them set up.

Also... the last few days before we open with a small entry fee, I'm going to allow everyone to invite any friends they might have made on Gaia to join for free. Kinda like a VIP thing. After three days though, people will need to start paying.

As far as I know, I'm up to take the reigns of Dreigania. However, I haven't officially posted the sign-up information yet because I wanted to confirm whether or not I'd been named the new host for it.

I don't know... it's up to everyone else. I have nothing to do with Dreigania, never did so I leave it up to the ones in it to pick who will host.

As I mentioned, I can take over Dregania, though it would also be rebooted from start, especially if DS, who played Swarm in it, won't be joining us.

M-chan has been talking about running it for a while. If she wants to it's fine with me. I think everyone's assuming a restart, at least partially because two very major characters are no longer part of this community. I've already posted signup info on the ezBoard for a new character, one very different from Dyrenya.

As for Selenica, currently nobody has voted to keep it exactly as is, so I'll need time to rework things a bit. I might just leave Burdia in; if we go with 17 types Burdia won't have a Gym and I'll come up with something else it'll be a good place to visit for, and if we go with 20 I might end up putting all three of the extra types' Gyms there.

I've taken the reins of Dreigania, Amby, so that's set. I'm currently working on setting it up.

Yay RPGs. ^_^

Great! I think I'm gonna work on an applying form for people to fill out. If people have friends they want to invite once I have the fourm, you can invite them.

M, I put and "Under Construction" next to Dreigania so you can work on it and we can still open.

So I noticed. That's cool, and I really appreciate it. It'll help me to rework Han's old posted info around the travel band schedule. Given our free time today, I should be able to have something up before I'm called into action.

*EDIT

And I've got it set up as of a while ago. All current RPGs are now set. ^_^
