[OOC] Newbie/Oldbie Thread: Questions and Advice

@Hoshi,

Certing Rules

If you want to join a pride you must first get a joining RP. This is an RP that shows your character is either joining the pride for the first time or that they are an established member in the pride if you have created a custom with a backstory attached to a pride. Roleplay contests do not count as joining RPs and owners may not give people permission to 'opt out' of a joining RP. Some prides may require that joining RPs be done with the leaders of the pride while others may allow anyone to do them.

See here. :>

I know there's an official shop policy regarding adolescents that have been in that stage for six months, but is there anything similar for the younger stages in existence?

In regards for juves and cubs, no there is not. They just have to wait for their turn to be grown and its the same, atm, for the mothers of those cubs. We're working hard to get all the backlogged growths done, so we ask for your patience.

So you're saying two other hyenas were certed on the pack cert with that same incomplete JRP? Do I have that right?
If that's so, that's something I need to ask about. Other than that, the rule I quoted is the rule, and that's what goes. :>

Let me see... I think I've contributed to the confusion, sorry! There was a joining RP started for all characters in that contest. People posted a couple times and it stalled. I then noticed one of the contest characters certed on the pride cert so I assumed (my bad) that the few posts in that joining RP counted and that they had used it for a JRP. I posted for certing including the link + a note that it had stalled and asked if it was ok. Since a cert popped up I kind of assumed it was sweatdrop

Now when I backread I see that the first character certed did not have a joining RP linked at all, so that first one might have slipped through the cracks somehow?  

[[Eskimo]]

Okay, I see that--not throwing anyone under the bus, but I was not the one certing those two hyenas at the time.
So regardless of who did or didn't get certed, any SoA joining a pride/pack needs a completed joining RP, period.

No need to apologize, since it's not your fault at all! XD

Thanks, Blue. I'd guessed as much, but I wanted to make sure. (I really am appreciative of all the work you colorists are doing to catch up with backlogged growths. The list must be massive).

This is kind of a random question, BUT to explain: I'm working on a concept for a god of honey, and I was trying to track down gods that might overlap with his domain. There is a god of bees listed, but there is neither name nor owner for that god, or a picture linked.

For gods like this, that exist on the god list but do not exist IC anywhere, do we have to treat them as existing IC? Do we need to list them as potential overlaps? And would gods like this, that are recorded to exist but no information available about them, ever become available for questing?  

[Cajanic]

Bees is owned by someone, that's why it's on the list. It was a baby from a litter, if I'm not mistaken. But we're still in the process of gathering all the information for the owners of these gods.

Gods that are on the taken list, you can consider not available for questing. If something were to change with the God, for some reason, then it will be removed. Only then will it be available for questing. XD

If it helps at all with that, Bees and Butterflies are here, near the bottom of the page.  

[Reeshie Hack]

For cosplays, do gods count as lions or are they a separate category?
Like, say someone has a Jack Sparrow lion. Would someone else be able to get a god cosplay of Jack, or would the lion cosplay make that a no-go?

So....I know that with the lined prides, owners that aren't active get dropped in the activity checks. What about un-lined prides? I've tried getting a hold of a fellow pride owner for some time now, and have heard no answer from her, and it says she hasn't even logged in since late January. And....I'd really like to have a co-owner who can help in reviving activity in the pride.  

[Reeshie Hack]

Nevermind, I found the answer in the old guild.  

[Himura Rikuo]

I have a serval and was wondering if I could join a certain pride. I know some prides are only for lions. I have tried to find this on my own but there are so many prides (and inactive prides) that it is very confusing!

Can someone help?
