Applications Can be posted: STARTING NOW
(I'm not officially "Open" though, but you guys can start posting so you can get your forms ready. DO NOT POST UNTIL YOUR FORMS ARE READY (no reserving spots))
Selection starts: As soon as I can June 11th 2015
Applications Close: Thurday July 9th, 11:59pm EST

Last selection: Friday July 10th.

Mind's opened a "month Long Bribe" but because of timing issues is hosting them in a 30 day period between two months to let her not have to continue pushing them to back due to IRL stuff!

And, for simplicities sake: The bribe posts will be handled like a non-bribe customs month and you post them in this thread I made for your submissions with a limit of five individual 'bribes'. But You don't post what your bribe actually IS until I PM You about it, at which point you PM it to me. This is because CONCEPT is more important than actual bribe and I don't want people to get discouraged from entering because they don't have as much as other people... But I still have to make sure its an actual 'bribe' of what you think its worth or are capable of budgeting, and not just you tossing some junk 100g items at me as a joke.

What does this mean for you?
Quote:
This means that I am allowed to take on as many bribes for this month-long period as I can manage, BUT I can only take one at a time. So if I pick Billy's custom concept, I must finish it completely before I can pick the next custom or breeding. There is no specific limit as to how many I can do, however. I might end up with just one super complex job, or many simpler ones,


Additional things this means
Quote:
1. If I pick a person's bribe, I cannot pick that person again for at least another 5 concepts in between.
2.I cannot cycle through the same 6 people repetitively.
3. I must completely finish a custom/breeding before I can move on to the next one
4. At the very end of the "month" I may pick 2 customs or 1 breeding to work on as my last bribe even if I haven't finished the bribe before them to work on afterwards.

Rules

My Bribe Specific
• Post ONE POST In My Bribes month Page with up to five bribe 'sections'
• Do not offer more for each individual bribe than you can give if you combine all of it, since while I may pick and choose, there is a small chance I can pick all of it.
• Questions can be asked in this thread.
• Read the Back Alley Bribes Page as well
• Read This post on skinwalkers and this thread I'm working on as well!



Generic Bribe Rules

  1. If a colorist is not listed with an open bribe slot, do not make offers
  2. Offer what you have on hand and are willing to spend
  3. Bribe offers sent anywhere other than to the colorist will be ignored. If they specify an alternate account to send your offer to, make sure you do so!
  4. Send your full bribe information (what you are requesting and your offer)
  5. Do not send a PM and ask the colorist for an estimate, these are bribes. Use custom prices as a baseline and go from there
  6. If you are asking for a custom, include a form/description.
  7. If you are currently have an active Bribe, you may not participate in any other Bribe until the first is complete
  8. No individual may win the same colorist's bribe twice in a row
  9. It is strictly forbidden to offer real life cash/goods for bribes - both by Soquili's rules and Gaia's own ToS.





Will Do

• PurewalkersYou can only custom one purewalker per six months So if you get twins It'll be 12 months for pure (Cooldown excludes anything goes auctions)
---- Please Fill out the Form and contract for skinwalkers posted below if you wish to apply for one. If your skinwalker personality/plotline doesn't fit, even if I'm not picking you I will be willing to work with you at getting it in character so you'll have a better chance at winning them/understanding what is and isn't allowed for future bribes, contests, or other ways of getting cursed/pure skinwalkers, and what is and isn't allowed if you manage to win one in other ways.
• Elemental effects, critters, wings, bones, etc.
• Most human clothing (see Won't Do section)
• Hyper Hybrids (3 or more breeds) Including Mers and Seathi. Hyper hybrid mers cannot be given flight wings or extra legs but can have Kelpi Gliding wings)
• Domained Angeni: Make sure the domain doesn't already exist before entering. ALSO fill out angeni form below for ANY Angeni mixes.
• Cosplays - cannot look identical to existing ones
• Breedings
• Fraternal and Identical Twins: Two ponies for the price of one for yoooou. Must still follow Twin Rules/look like twins.
• Herd Helper Special (only one per person)PERFECT FOR STARTING UP OR FLESHING OUT A HERD!: Identical Triplets-through-sextuplets (3-6): Must be same gender, same body edits, and only minor edit/marking/color differences (example: Poe sisters A, B, C, and D.). Can only pick two small differences between them (Minor hair mane edits x different single color marking OR Different templated horns (one kid has a unicorn horn, one has a kirin, one has a set of kalona horns,) etc). Cannot do major body or breed changes (Leg up x leg down, male x female, Suti Wings x Kelpi tail, different flutter wing shapes, etc). BUT you can only keep up to two and must give the remainders away. This does not allow Purewalkers due to purewalker cooldown limitations (if you got six and six people got them, six people would have three year cooldowns for pures). Angeni Domains are also not allowed.

• Familiars (up to 5 total): HOWEVER because this isn't a Familiars bribe (as I am not a Familiar Colorist), they must be purchased WITH a pony custom, just like if you were buying a familiar custom in my regular customs.
Stormtotem Thunderhawk Purewalkers -- since I'll be approving the character/submission anyway when you enter, you're welcome to use my personal pure mutant hawkwalker template!



Won't Do

• Illegal breed mixes (Skinwalkers x Angeni, cursed hippogryph, Mer-Usdia, Flying winged Mers etc,)
• 3 or more sets of backwings customed in (Exception: Only those of Lucifer's family line (parents, uncles, siblings, children etc) are capable of equaling or exceeding three sets of back wings according to their auction agreement. Only his owners could allow it, and begging them to be given permission is prohibited and Faking their permission is a blacklist-able offense.)
• Human style dresses that wrap around the legs and 'bras' on soquili.
• Adding or removing legs or heads.
• Twins/etc that don't Look like twins: If they don't look like twins by the custom rules, they'd be siblings and will to be separate customs and given separate offers. I will TELL you if they do not look like twins: you may end up having to adjust them to let them work if you've won the bribe and started requesting too many differences.
• Pet or Art Trades: I love pets and art, BUT its too risky of a bribe to accept and honestly would end up just letting pets sit untouched unless they were soquili/Soquili Familiars, and It feels like cheating accepting a soquili or familiars as a bribe.
• Anything that breaks the Soquili or Gaia ToS

FAQ


Q:I got a question, where do I ask?
A: Right here in this thread! biggrin

Q:OMG WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE STUFF FOR SKINWALKERS? scream Do you hate them or something?
A: There's been some confusion lately about what is and isn't allowed with Skinwalkers, (and angeni) and, since I DO want purewalkers to be a little more accessible, I wanted to take this as an opportunity to educate as well as prevent headaches in the future. I'm sure some of it is just misunderstanding the species, so this gives me the opportunity to work one on one with the people so we can try to bridge the gaps and pave the road to the shop being more comfortable with giveaways.

Q: Just to make sure I'm reading clearly. Bribe forms are to be posted where?
A:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=24718943


Q: Do you accept Items?
A:
Yup! As long as its able to be sent in a single trade, I have no issue with items 83

Q: Omg I'm so poor I can't afford anything super expensive!
A:
While money may work as a tiebreaker when necessary, it's concept I'm most interested in. :3

Q: if I win something from the bribes, and someone entered me in a breeding, do I disqualify THEIR bribe?
A:
NOPE! I'm counting it by the person ENTERING. You can end up in a couple breedings

Q:WHOO HERDHELPER. I'm gonna have four boys and two girls
A: Whoa there buddy -- as much as I understand your enthusiasm, Herd Helper ponies all have to be the same biological sex (aka the same basic template). I mean, you could have the six of them on the male template and have your two identify as female, but the base template has to be the same. Its sort of like a large clutch of identical twins rather than a bundle of fraternal.





Those who cannot Enter my Bribes
Please note: If you are not on this list and have a breeding with one of these people you desperately want to try for, you CAN still try for it, however they are not allowed to pester you into it if you're not interested and would rather try for something else.

QUESTIONNNSSSS.

  1. "• Cosplays - cannot be done if that character already exists"

    Does this still apply with new cosplay rules? (Wasn't sure if it was a transfer from an old thread or if it was a personal preference, so I wanted to make sure.)

  2. "Q: Just to make sure I'm reading clearly. Bribe forms are sent to Acotas and not posted in the thread when the time comes, yes?
    A: Yup!"

    This one looks like an old thread transfer??

  3. "Q: Do I have to use the Lump-sum thing?
    A: Nope. Thats more if you want to tempt me to take on both of your customs

    Q:Can I post More than/Less than the two customs ideas for you to pick and chose from?
    A: You can post as many as you want, but if you have more or less than two you can't use the 'lump sum' thing, but instead just the combined totals of the two offers."

    Two instances of lump sum mentioning, but I am unsure on the details! Is it something you're still interested in seeing when you PM for bribe amounts?

Thank you!

Just for record keeping purposes, the Aishwarya x Vespasian bribe was submitted by CitrusCupcake

I submitted the Kumiho x Dormarth. smile

A:
NOPE! I'm counting it by the person ENTERING. You can end up in a couple breedings


Does this same rule apply if they're mock breedings or twins shared between two people?
i.e., I have 2 concepts I would like to enter for: 1 for a mockbreeding of twins with someone, and the other for a mockbreeding between a Usdia/Reg. If I entered them - does that same above rule apply?! -smiles-

Q: Are we allowed to try for pawed ponies?

ie: I have a pair I want to mockbreed a child from, dad has front paws, am I allowed to ask for a fully pawed pretty or is it up to you since the horse would be mostly CC?

This is SLIGHTLY out of date but still works.

Twin customs DO count for those who go into the bribe (So like.. If two people do the herd helper thingermabobby, they both only get one and the rest are given away and it counts toward THEM but not the people being gifted), but since it no longer disqualifies anything it just means I wont pick that person until I'm on a "Free pick" post (there has been five NEW CC's between them)

So while it DOES put them on a cooldown, if I like their work I can pick it as the sixth "I can go back and CC someone who I've already picked" thing.

Q: Are CC forms ok?


YES TO BOTH.

Pawed ponies are totally legit now and no longer have cooldowns of any sort, so aren't limited like they used to be UNLESS they are purewalkers. With Purewalkers you can get either one, or Twins (which will prevent you from customing another purewalker via credits or other bribes for six months to a year depending on whether its a single walker or a set of twins).

With pawed Non-walker ponies you can even do the Herd Helper and have six of them at once.


As for CC, it IS possible, but whatever you leave up to colorist choice IS colorists choice.. So if you don't give a list of likes/dislikes and a vague guideline of what you DO want to see included, it could end up not how you might have imagined it and the colorist (in this case me) isn't required to change it.

Is it okay if we let you choose the edit level? For example, specify something like "moderate to heavy, cc" to let you do whatever edits you want?



Yes!

Q: Are we allowed to bribe for wolpertinger bunny familiars (attached to a soquili custom of course), or were those limited to the WoW event?
