In the spirit of all things Mene, Nepenthe is hosting a Yumeh-themed
summer contest and giveaway! If you like signature pets, cats, Yumeh,
Mene itself- or just getting free stuff- stick around with us!
Please visit us at our main thread for on going
flatsales and other activities.
I spotted Yumeh..! Or just a really good look-alike... Aug. 1st - Aug 31st High Bid: 65 - Nuruhanj
but this is not a normal auction, oh no, no!
You remember what a Round Robin is, right?
Well just in case you dont, here's the low down on this shindig.
To win the lovely cosplay above, you must have fast wits,
a ready tongue (and possibly a bit of cash).
To bid, you must continue the story with another sentence.
Each word (excluding 'and', 'the', & 'a') will cost you 1 gold.
Sentences can be long or short, but must be a single sen per bid.
EXAMPLE STORY & BIDX
Begin: Feeling a tiny bit worried, the kitten stood up on it's paws and looked around for it's mother.
Bid #1: The little ball of fluff hadnt seen her in some time, and boy, was he hungry! [+16, total 16]
Bid #2: His mother, though, was in trouble! [+6, Total 22]
Please start your bid with "Bid #X" depending on the # before you.
I marked the words that were excluded from pricing, for ease of counting- I wont require this but its helpful (for you all too)!
There are no plot restrictions besides keeping the 'main' character in play,
and of course please keep in mind the site rules. Be as crazy or as serious
as you would like! Anything goes, guys! Have fun with this.
Prizes! The winner receives of course the Yumeh cosplay cat on the shop cert,
but in addition, we have a lovely donation of avi art, by Nuruhanj.
STORY THUS FARX
I will be updating this once per day, but it would always be best to check the thread to see if there are any recent bids I havent yet tabulated.
Our story begins deep in the urban jungle of Manhattan..
A tiny black kitten by name of Max scratches at the door to his human's apartment,
mewling as he waited for her to come home. She was late, and he was hungry!
(Bidding commences from this point- what happens next is all up to you!) Keep in Mind:
The kitten Max is your main character and must be kept in the story.
Bids may only be one sentence, as long or short as you would like.
Each word (excluding 'and', 'the', & 'a') will cost you 1 gold.
Please start your bid with "Bid #X" depending on the # before you.
End your post with the bid amount, [+your word #, Total Bid #]

He hated the rain, especially at night! (+23, toal 23)

Please do not bid above your means.
Any CI/EI item can be used in place of gold when Auc is over.
(During Auction, all bids will be totaled in gold, per word.)
Ever seen a kitten you just had to have, but perhaps your
mum said no? Well now you can recreate that kitten using
ultra high-tech gadgets and just a hint of faux fur!
Guidelines:
Coloring must be done on official shop lines.
No item edits are allowed, fur/eye/ear/tail edits are accepted.
All entries must be in by the deadline, no exceptions.
If you need a psd, you can contact Sab;
but you should be able to lift the lines to color them.
Traditional mediums are fine, but the kitten must be colored realistically.
In the shop pattens/colorings can be added using "berry ink", in the colors
of red, blue & yellow, so any small designs on the kitten in those colors will be accepted too.
Prize/Winner Information:
Three finalists will be chosen by Sabiir & then voted on by
the community to determine our grand prize winner!
These three finalists will receive their kitten on the shop cert,
and an adult stage of their kitten done by Sabiir.
For you chatter boxes out there, we have an activity contest!
All you have to do is chat- let the rewards come to you!
July 12th-Aug 31st
Guidelines:
Every 50 posts earns a ticket! You (not the host!) are responsible for keeping track.
Post your counts in [brackets] as rules go.
Each individual can earn a max of 5 tickets for this raffle.
Ping Sab when you begin, and when you finish, a ticket set.
Unless there are under 5 participants, each individual may only win one prize from the prizepot.
For the truly ambitious (or just the very chatty), there is a grand prize!
Besides the raffle above, the contestant with the most posts by the end
of the event will win your very own Yumeh Ears & Tail!
[You must keep track of all your posts in this thread for you to win this prize.]
Heres how this works. I'm going to run as many rounds as can be completed
before the 31st of August- so the more people play, the more points you'll earn
and the better chance you'll have at those slipps down there!
This isnt quite your normal Hangman, though, so read on!
There are two ways to earn points- one of course is to participate, and the other,
is to invite your friends to play with us! The more the merrier!
Points are distributed thus:
1 point for any guess, 2 for a correct letter.
3 points for a friend who participates in any event here.
And a whopping 5 points for a completely correct word guess!
Guidelines:
You only have 3 guesses per day; 2 letters and a word guess.
This resets if the word is guessed and another round begins.
(So the more people play, the more points you'll earn!)
Please be courteous when inviting someone here, dont spam anyone! :)
The Prize is:
And because I love you all,
Second & third place will each receive a mousie!
(Second place will have first choice.)
Are you allowed to colour traditionally or is it only digital? Also, are you allowed to add patterns to the fur and things, or does it have to look like a real cat?

Oh I'm glad you asked!
I'll put this info up on the post for anyone else who's wondering too.
Traditional mediums are fine, but the kitten must be colored realistically.
In the shop pattens/colorings can be added using "berry ink", in the colors of red, blue & yellow, so any small designs on the kitten in those colors will be accepted too.
