Not many people feel the same way I do, sadly. XD

I find the pendant really tiny and the sash too bulky for my taste. XD The belt is awesome, though. <3333 I'll probably keep them anyway, but it seems a bit of a waste since I probably will never use them. The sash maybe, but probably not the pendant.

Unfortunately, those who are actually wanting to sell don't really care about the item hence why they're selling, and/or they're actually just hoarders who had a ton of the items for some reason or another. o_O So I don't think that'd happen any time soon. ^^;

But yeah I dunno I like to complete my sets and so I want both. XD But the belt is higher on the list than pendant to be frank.

Honestly the posts in another person's thread are horribly small anyway. Though I guess like this thread for instance, there's 15 x 570 pages or something? Yume is getting fed a lot of money this way. XD But at the same time I think she deserves it for hosting the thing.

You get gold for every post someone makes in a thread you created? o_o

Very true. ^^;; I obviously would be a very terrible business person with my sort of view.

And yeah I know how that is. XD I guess it sort of depends for me since there are some things where I feel that I have to have a complete set. Like right now I have a king crown and I'm sort of itching to get a queen crown and finish the set.

You should definitely get a belt first if you can. It goes so well with a lot of items and is probably one of the best looking items on the site. ^^

Nah thats how a lot of people are on Gaia and thats why noone gets quests finished, its nothing to be ashamed of. XD

Well I got ahold of a pendant now. ^^ So just the belt remaining. The pendant ate a bit of my gold but meh. ^^

OMG thanks! XD You beat me too.

Aw lame, never gonna get a free one. >.> Oh well. At least I have an art submission in there. *sigh*

Ah! Well I actually have never hung out in Art Freebies, just mostly exchange - and then after I came back from my break, I went back to the RnC. I've always kinda hovered around those two areas. ^^

Lately I've been hanging out with Tir and Woe and Luc etc and so I've been more inspired to draw - and my art requests both in Menewsha and Gaia get me some really awesome art that inspires me as well. So its a really good atmosphere for that! I don't know specific things I should though, like specific ratios for anatomy etc. ._. But I learn by looking at art, and scanning/taking photos of my art to look at them from a new perspective to see what I need to improve. I can usually see what an art piece needs for improvement. But its tougher to see it in a piece you've been working on for awhile and you can't see the overall.

Oh I haven't go back to that art thread. ^^; I'll go take a look later.


Being in creative circle bound to raise your creative side? Demands and requests also help. In your case, maybe because you start from requesting, you become more familiar with what to demand and expect from an art which in turn help directing you when working on your art.^^

About seeing art in different perspective, I usually put aside art I'm half done and start working and focusing on another art, or basically leave the previous art entirely, and afterward come back to the previous art to re-obsere it. Usually by taking our mind from it, the next time we see it we might able to see the overal view of the work a bit easier....but that's only how I do it, dunno how about the others..^^;

My friends said I'm drawing and improving more often since I started drawing in Gaia too. *ish known as lazy irl*


....Man, my reply is insanely slow... >.<

Aww, that's how I always feel. >.< Maybe you can get someone to help you get one. At least people can't win twice so you have a better chance now.

not being able to win twice doesn't stop others from helping their friends win them.. and then it doesn't allow people that are in the thread to win them. >>;
so i hope that next time they have a contest like this, they allow each person to win once and not allow them to win for others. :[

Congrats on getting the pendant, Alexi. <3

I lag way too much to take part in this clover event so I really don't bother trying when the round comes up. @_@;; Though Yumeh sent me a golden hairpin last night because apparently Azure posted on my behalf and won. ;; That was really nice of him.

True, but that's why I suggest finding someone to help. I dunno, I think they should make these events a bit easier.

Not if people keep getting friends to fight me over it. XD

Though you woulda gotten it anyway. o_o So kudos to you, I was just silly and actually posted before the 15 mark, and actualy DID the 15th post. So its really just my fault. ^^

@Witch - But yeah! Creative circle of friends = awesome. <3 *hugs all* I'm actually really interested in seeing how people like the ne wpic I just drew, I'm so excited about it!

Hoy I'm so tired, I really need sleep! Just went ahead and got a dress. XD Cuz I'm bored and I don't know when the next time I'll get to log in is. ._.

See ya!

True, I'm surprised I nearly posted first. Well I'm going to go to sleep too before I die. I could try to win you one once I wake up if no one else has. I just hate doing it during the day because it's nearly impossible. >.<

Night, Alexi~

If you want, I'll delete my post.

   But the main community disturbence over popularity I dislike is that whole 0.10 gold for every user that posts in your own thread. For the popular users, whether the others are ass-kissing, or happen to actually befriend the said popular user, the constant attention to one user's thread will outburst the gold gain, and then popularity really will mean fame and money.
   

I think that's why Josh reduced the gold gain for thread owners from the thread's replies from 1g to 0.1g, to stop the smaller circle of companionships and widen the communities aspect while still letting users to get gold easier.

Personally I'm VERY forgetful and not good in big crowds, typing slower than snail on an asthma also not helping, so creating hangout place isn't exactly my place...extra gold or not. ^^; But I would love to have one someday, with big doubt that it could survive long though, knowing my nature. :roll:
