Yeah, I think i'll be waiting quite a long time for Ngendek to come. Cere isnt' hardly on Gaia at all anymore. T_T Ah well, I'm getting good at waiting.

*sigh*

Yeah, it does seem that there's been a lot of disinterest in Gaia B&C as of late. I feel like we should learn from the mistakes there to make B&C better here. Though I'm not quite sure how to do that.

Yeah, I am happy that Rhea grew, though I feel like Sy kinda rushed her. I dunno. Maybe it's just me... Anyways, I hope Ti gets to grow sooner than later, but I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed.

Best I can suggest here is to treat everyone equal. No more special treatment etc for anyone owners or artists. Honestly stricter rules about how breedables is yes fun but needs to be seen as a contractual business need to be layed down.

Sizzla 09-17-2007 08:37 PM

I do agree there.

If a person comes through and RPs, the artist should do the art in a timely fashion. *nods*

I feel like there is a contract to B&C already, but I don't think it's enforced enough.

Smerdle 09-17-2007 09:01 PM

You should all come to my shop! The one coming here, or the one I have on Gaia! I don't care if you RP or not! :lol:

You do have to wait for me on growings though, but I hope that's not too much of a hardship. I do have a 40-hour-a-week job on top of funtime. Plus, I do love my TV and movies and sometimes they steal me away from Photoshop. :oops:

About the TT meta: Man, I would love to find some damn Sylvester motivation, but I think the kid is totally dead to me. I made the mistake of knowing what the end of his story would be before I started, and now it's come to a point where I don't feel like I have to get him there. He's gotten there in my head 900 times since he arrived. It's sad, because I do love him as a secondary character for Brownie, it's just kind of disheartening because he was my first kid (well, second really, but the first one that lasted) and he has his own life too.

ICRS n' Siz: You do contribute. I love people who just come out and chat, although I seem to be worse at acknowledging everyone who comes through anymore. I feel like some people feel ignored. Well, the way Mene B&CP looks right now, I won't be able to "ignore" anyone. mwahahaa *tap dances*

Sizzla 09-17-2007 09:29 PM

I like your style Smerd. ;) For some reason, I think not having RP requirements makes it more enticing to play...at least to me it is. Because you know, Sev's the only character besides Sh'khin that I'm RPing right now. The weight of requirements can be stifiling I think.

Pshaw! I've gotten three growings in since Sev was born a little over a year ago. THREE! That's 3x more than in any other shop! YOU ROCK THE B&C WORLD WOMAN! XD <333 That's no hardship at all! Waiting four or six months for growth is nothing compared to a year and a half or whatever it happens to be elsewhere.

I understand not wanting to bog down an artist with breedables, sure. But if they can't handle more, they shouldn't take on more IMO.

TT META: Aww, poor dead Sylvester. Rhea really liked him. :(

I -sorta- know the end of Rhea's tale too...at least I know how it's supposed to end up. But I've been playing along with other people's plots and hoping I could intertwine with someone else's stuff too-- to make things more interesting. But I haven't seen half of the owners in the past six months though sadly, so who knows! It makes me sad, because Rhea was my first big contest win and I was so proud and excited to get her. I know umbra will always be there with Ti, but man, I really wanted more RP with Angelus and Silent, among other people.

Do you really think people feel ignored? I don't really think so! XP I like contributing there...For some reason your shop is 10x more fun than anywhere else. I think it's the stress-free, laid-back atmosphere that does it. I always feel welcome there, no matter how long it's been since I've posted or RPed. :D

I think if you start your shop here, I may just let you go at a character for me and I'll take it from there ... My creativity is a bit sapped, though I'd want my character to have a ridiculous crime.

Of course this time you're gonna get paid though! XD

Smerdle 09-17-2007 09:46 PM

I suspect Sylvester will come back to me someday, I just feel bad that his muse is comatose right at the point when the meta picks up again. Oh wellzzz.

I feel you on the stifling requirements. If you think about the 'interesting' things that happen over a person's lifetime, most of them can't fill a 50 page book, let alone an involved post every month. I guess RP kids are supposed to be exceptional kids that you're technically writing a story about, but some of them just... aren't. I know, I've made a lot of mine that way on purpose. And even the most interesting kids have lulls in the fun times in their lives. If I ever got the urge to read about some kid with wings or fur or a tail or 18 eyes or horns going to the bathroom or going to school or playing tag or going to the park just because someone else had to fill a requirement, I would bitchslap someone. And that's what it comes down to when you know you have to write something by a certain time. A bunch of meaningless nonsense.

But that's just the way I see it and I'll shut up now. heh

And I like to draw, so why shouldn't I draw all the time. ME N BREEDABLES ARE A PERFECT FIT YAY

ladyumbra 09-17-2007 10:36 PM

I hate pointless requirements but I see the need. Espeically with the large age jumps. There needs to be a certain amount of posts showing a character mentally devloping . Even if it''s just learning to read and write better. Not all the kids can be geniuss you know.

Sizzla 09-18-2007 01:49 PM

Heh. I like characters that I don't have to grow from a baby. LOL I only have one really (Sh'khin) but I like all my guardian characters. Teenagers/adults are way more fun to RP. :D

Goood morning thread!

Smerdle 09-18-2007 02:48 PM

The shop I open here won't have babies. They're all starting at kids. More work for me, but less goo goo ga ga RP as well.

Gooood morninnnnn

Dare 09-18-2007 03:12 PM

Your idea was haunted dolls, right Smerdle? *~*

Smerdle 09-18-2007 04:19 PM

Yeah, I want to have haunted dolls and two other completely different kinds of kids in one shop. :lol:

I have a thin and stupid way to connect them, but in the end I guess it doesn't matter. I can call upon the Menewsha magic or something to explain why three such different kinds of kids would come from the same place.

Sizzla 09-18-2007 05:08 PM

ROFL It's gonna be a mess of odd kids, for sure! XD

OH, just FYI: If you start the shop before Halloween, remember that Mene's got no magic. But after Halloween, there will be magic, so just FYI. :D

faceless_romanctic 09-18-2007 05:34 PM

Hello, how are you? Sizzla told me to come and chat, so i'm here.. How are you?

Sizzla 09-18-2007 05:41 PM

Yo! Yep, this is the right place. It may be a little slow right now, but it'll pick up I hope. :D

What kind of anime do you like?

Smerdle 09-18-2007 05:51 PM

Hello, O Faceless one!

Good to know about the magic thing. That's actually really cool and can explain how all of these things came to be in the first place yayyy!

ladyumbra 09-18-2007 06:06 PM

I can't wait for halloween then.

*waves to the new kid*

Sizzla 09-18-2007 06:12 PM

Holy crap it's mod-city up in here today!

I hated having to send that PM to you faceless, but you really need to read the rules and follow them. Thank you. :D


Halloween is going to be good times! there's all kinds of awesomeness in the works.

Sizzla 09-19-2007 01:09 PM

*shakes the thread* Wake up!!!

ladyumbra 09-19-2007 05:27 PM

Sizzla 09-19-2007 05:40 PM

Smerdle 09-19-2007 06:20 PM

Sizzla 09-19-2007 06:25 PM

Oh no!! I've shaken everyone's brains too!? Maybe that means we're not fit to work for the rest of the day! XP <3

Thanks! I've been working on it...I've got a couple more things I want to add to it, but overall, I think it's a pretty damn good outfit. XP

Sorry I've not been on Gaia posting. I just haven't felt it today.

ladyumbra 09-19-2007 07:39 PM

What's smerdle's AIM? O_O

I'm not on right now because I'm pretty busy at work, but I don't sign on to my old SN anymore because people attack me when I get on. And most of them are from HS and I don't particularly want to chat with them.

ladyumbra 09-20-2007 09:32 PM

You know one day we need a big ICRS aim chat.
