Dragon Bribes OPEN!
Start: Friday, Sept 25th 12:01am EST
End: Friday, Oct 2nd 11:59 EST

So everyone knows we write dragon personalities at random. They are never written about specific characters, to make things more realistic and like Pern. Obviously, this means that sometimes deserving people don't always get a dragon. This makes us sad. Sooo here's your chance to get one, and also reward our awesome colorists and rp managers, who don't get nearly the gold they deserve. You guessed it -- BRIBES. You control everything and anything you want! But we're not doing just dragon bribes -- ever say to yourself, "I really wish I had a firelizard that looked like ____" or "I really wish I had a (color) firelizard"? Well here's your chance! Below are the forms (and some rules) to help you get started!


Dragon Bribes HOORAY, OPEN

For dragons, we're probably going to be accepting mainly blues and greens, since it's not terrible loss should you not show back up (sorry, no offense ;;; Just no way to know!) We may accept a FEW (veryvery few) higher ranking dragons, but you have to have proved to us that you're gonna stick around. Mainly this means rps already under your belt. (Or an UNHEALTHY amount of gold. Sadly.)

Still interested? Below is the form!


Form

[b]Username:[/b] (Your username! Yaaay~)
[b]Colorist wanted:[/b] (This will probably lower your chances of getting picked, as the colorist has to accept)
[b]Igen or Ista?:[/b] (Self explanatory?)

[b]Dragon name:[/b]
[b]Dragon color:[/b]
[b]Dragon Start stage:[/b] (If you'd like a dragonet, we can insert your baby into our next hatching, which will be 'soon')
[b]Dragon design/colors/ref images:[/b] (You may say CC!)
[b]Dragon personality:[/b] (As we're not basing these too much off of personality, this can be short and sweet, if you prefer. OR you can say CC, and one of our lovely rp managers will write a desc specifically for your character!)
[b]Edits:[/b] (You want scars? Maybe a charm? Put it here!)
[b]Impressed To:[/b] (We need a basic profile. Things can be missing, and it doesn't have to be beautiful, but it needs to include everything you think we should know about their rider.)

[b]Bribe:[/b](Obv... what you're going to pay!)



Firelizard Bribes {OVER}

Flit bribes! Because everyone loves firelizards (and if you don't, you should ;D). The restrictions are a little looser with firelizards. We'll be taking about 1 gold OR bronze (Max -- we are not obligated to take a bronze or gold), 2 brown (max), 3 blue, and 4 green. As you can see, we'll be allowing more greens and blues than any colours, but feel free to ask us for browns, bronzes, and even gold flits! Same rules as the dragon bribes, only we're really not looking at how much you RP. Slots are primarily based on what the colourists like and how much gold is offered. So have fun!


[b]Username:[/b] (Your username! Yaaay~)
[b]Colorist wanted:[/b] (This will probably lower your chances of getting picked, as the colorist has to accept)

[b]Flit name:[/b] (You don't have to name it right away, but if you have a name feel free to put it)
[b]Flit color:[/b] (Green to gold)
[b]Flit Start stage:[/b] (Egg or adult, pretty easy)
[b]Flit design/colors/ref images:[/b] (If you start at egg, feel free to design the egg as well. You may say CC!)
[b]Minor Edits:[/b] (You want scars? Expression edits? Angry eyes? Put it here!)
[b]Belongs To:[/b] (Again, you don't have to decide now. Just post this info when you ask for a cert)

[b]Bribe:[/b](Obv... what you're going to pay!)




But first, before you do anything -- RULES. You hate them, we got them.


1. Do not contact any of the staff to whine, beg, threaten or offer pet trades. We're a friendly shop, and do not tolerate nastiness -- we do try our best to make you all happy.

2. Do not guilt trip people if their bribes are accepted. You will be grey listed immediately. Again, we're sorry, but those people who won will be very happy. We will be upset if you make them unhappy for no reason.

3. All bribes will be submitted to the mule (All the Weyrs of Pern). Just to keep things easy. :3 Questions can be posted in thread <3

4. We are not obligated to accept bribes based on gold alone. We are not obligated to disclose how many we'll be taking. We're not obligated to take any at all. We're sorry, but this isn't really a contest, so we're going to do what makes us (and hopefully you too!) happy. This leads to number five!

5. Not accepting your bribe does not mean we did not like your concept, please do not take offense. We luv u, we promise. <3

6. Most likely green and blues will be the only ones that will be allowed to bribe for. Should you be an avid rper, and you have proven this to us via rps, we may allowed higher colors to be bribed for. If we deny you, however, it does not mean that we think you aren't active, or didn't like your concept. If we do give away any higher ranked dragons, we're going to be much more picky, that's all. So no worries! Relaaaax <3

7. You do not need to have your character pre-approved! Yaaay! However, you do have to have it approved eventually. Awww. But we'll probably be lenient. Yaaay!

Quick question. =) Are items accepted as well, or only pure?

Items are accepted, but we prefer pure, because the payment is going to be split amongst the colorists. But yes, items can be used. :3

Another question! Is it alright to try to bribe both for a flitt and for a dragon? Thanks!

Not at the same time, since dragon bribes aren't open til next Friday, but yeah, you can bribe for as many flits or dragons you can afford :3

Yet another question. You said we can opt to have dragonets put into clutches, but what Weyr will be having the next Hatching? Will both Weyrs be having Hatchings soon-ish?
PostPosted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 5:22 pm


I have a question as well, how much CC is allowed in a dragon bribe? Just looks? Just personality? Is both allowed to be CC? Just curious, I love the element of surprise.

There are options for CC looks and personality, so I suppose you could ask for a total surprise. But you'd probably need a really well-developed rider so we like.. have something to judge/go on.

As far as the next clutch goes, I believe it will be at Ista, since Cheoth is the only clutching Queen at Igen and she just clutched. (But never fear, we will even it out as soon as possible, hurhur. XD)

Quick question- can you bribe a dragon for someone else? Like, if you know someone has submitted a profile trying for customs, can you bribe for their dragon for them?
PostPosted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:05 am


Question! If our custom forms are accepted, will we be given a grace period to liquidate the funds? Most of my moneys are in items, and I don't want to sell them if it's not necessary~ :3

TheDevilSheIs -- Um... I'll have to talk to the rest of my staff, specifically the rp managers, but my guess is that that'll be on a case-by-case basis. If it's a green or a blue, most likely, if it's a higher level dragon we'll have to make sure your friend is a fairly regular rper/ inthread poster before getting the go-ahead. :3 Also, if you do win, your friend has to pass any major changes in the character profile by us, just so nothing strange goes under the radar.

But again, I'll have to talk to my rp managers, get their opinion on things. I'll post again here within a few days, when I see how they feel on it <3



Petite -- :3 Yes, you will. Actually, we won't be accepting the money until the dragon is actually done (if you're putting it into the clutch, then you won't be shown, per se, but you'll know it'll be done xD) so you have that time. :3 If you don't have the gold on-hand after the dragon is done, just shoot the mule a pm going "My items are in the marketplace, you can go check" and if the items don't sell by the x days you put them up for, you can feel free to send the gold over. If necessary, I have a fair amount of gold I can trade out for items, to give to the colorists.
