dA of the artist.
Welcome to the Angelic Nitemare charity thread! A charity of unusual habits and proportions! Some of you may remember this as the AN quest thread, back when we were going for one of the biggest quests in all of Gaia. Well, guess what...
We did it!
That's right, we managed to get one of every MC from 2004-2009, all EI's and the Nitemare Scarf! And now, because of the skills we learned from making the gold to pay for that, we're going to help others out there just like you!
There is a little bit of a catch. We don't have forms to fill out, no hoops to jump through, no special games you HAVE to play!
We will be handling donations several ways. One is to be a regular of the thread, and trust me, you will know if you are a regular. This takes some time, but can be fun and entertaining! We get random crap all the time, and sometimes, we share with friends! The second way is by our weekly donations! Yup, once a week, we will be giving out one, maybe two prizes. Depends how cash heavy we are, and how much crap we bought ourselves. (What, we like stuff too! whee ) This donation will be Usually 25k, no more or less...but that's enough to get an gold shop item most months! Maybe even two if they suck! And this will be done by a complicated process to determine a thread that will be donated to! This can be a quest OR charity donation, so who knows who will be hit!

In a rarity here on Gaia, Rids and Liri are in fact a real life married couple! Together for almost a decade they have 4 boys, and a girl.
Ridley works nights, and Liri is a home maker, but both of them work as writers and roleplayers, co-creating the multi genre world of Terraphim! In fact, this thread doubles as the OOC thread for The current RP set!

While they are both working on the charity, they do so in different ways. Lirilei is a fan of the market place, selling items that are donated, as well as gaming in BlackJack.
Ridley is more into grinding, making post after post all over Gaia, as well as arena voting, and trying his hand at cards. Unfortunately, he's not very good at it.
Both are also avid players of zOMG!, Both at a CL10!


Lirilei Gyrydan
Lirilei was the victim of the first murder on Terraphim. The Gods had decided, as a way of apology to grant her immortality. But even an immortal gets bored guarding the shrine for the powers of the Shinigami. So she has set forth, meeting more of the mortals of this world, making friends, and helping keep her new home safe from the forces of evil...


Ridley Starsmore
Made to be a living weapon, Ridley was released by Julia, a woman able to run faster than sound, and Kyvec, a Flitter capable of powerful Magic. Taken in as a normal person, Ridley has taken it upon himself to be the self proclaimed protector of Terraphim. He is now married to Kyvec, as well as being one half of the Powers of Eternity.

Weekly Donations!
25,000 gold or an item at that value, Given Every Sunday!
Number of donations given out so far: 42 (1.05 million gold so far!)

Now, like anyone, we love games! In fact, we even got a few MCs that way, and we wanna make it good for you too! We'll have a constant contest, which will earn you MCs!
We do random page prizes from time to time, giving away an MC from the same month, but the year before! We choose someone at random from that page to win!
Hint for the next page prize: We have a surprise page prize happening...WHO KNOWS WHEN?!
Plus, while not a contest, this is a bit of fun we'll be doing here. Caturday! Heck yeah!

Yes, we are a charity, but man, we love stuff too! And each of us has our own obsessions!
Lirilei's currently trying to get all the stuff on her wish list! Quite the tall order!
If you wanna help Liri clear off some of that stuff, here is the link to her profile, and her wishlist!
Ridley, on the other hand, is questing gold. And lots of it, for contests, giveaways, and...you know...STUFF.

These are the good guys! The ones that help with donations, keep the thread moving with their conversations, help with art, or are otherwise supporting us.
Ry Yuuki - Yuuki is the wonderful artist who did the art for this thread, as well as numerous other pieces for us that can be seen on our profiles. Hit up Yuuki for work on your pages, though she is a busy women so be prepared for a wait!
Irian Shin - Irian is the graphic person responsible for our previous layout. Having worked with Liri and Rids for awhile on graphics for another site, she now does free lance work for her friends! She is also one of the thread mods, so be sure to listen if she requests you do, or don't do something!
Jeff, Dove, Amaya, Mercy, Flyck, Mew, Dol, Ulf, Ivy, Char, Jack, Xingfu, Zen, Panda, Jaiden and Bl4ze are all regulars in our thread that keep the place rolling in laughter and fun times! Don't know who these people are? Stick around, you might gain one as a friend!
Thanks for all your hard work keeping us sane and us on track with our quest! Now hopefully you'll keep helping us on our charity!

Here are some links to places you might like, or places we think can help you in your quest!
Don't ask us to add your thread, guild or what ever. It won't happen.

Negima RP Guild! Awesome people & RP!

Awesome people that invaded us for a week to help out! Go invade them!

Amayatar was one our invaders, and she's questing a Kodiak Hat for Kiba the Invader leader! go help, we did!
Flyck's OMG thread!

And remember, folks, if you would like to help, either with donations or items, just send a trade to Myself or Lirilei marked 'Donation'. And then send a PM to BOTH, telling us who you sent it to. One of us is on during the day, half the time. Thank you!

These are the bad guys!
People that have been mean, or jerks, or generally stupid. You do not want to be here.
ASimple1xx - For hacking both our accounts! All items were recovered in the end, and user was banned.
RSBFM - For repeated bumping after being warned by a thread mod. No longer allowed to participate in contests.
Summer-Style If he should find this thread. Nyah. Bought the horns for 5k more than yours, jerkface. Next time someone makes an offer in the Exchange, take it more seriously and try to haggle. And banning someone from a thread, for calling you on BS is so low brow.
corvette898- Decided to ignore the front page rules, and a warning from both myself and Liri.
Travis Porter - Coming into the thread and being rude off the bat. UNCOOL.
Clouds Over California - For spamming almost 4 pages of our thread just to win a page prize. When that's a NO NO here.

THREAD RULES
So. People are stupid.
NOW we have to have rules. After a YEAR AND A HALF we have to have some darn rules!!!
Anyhow. First and foremost. OBEY GAIA TOS
No page stretching, or bumping. TALKING.
I don't want to see the same image/link posted over and over.
DO NOT spam YOUR QUEST within OURS. You want it listed? Contact Ridley Starsmore, or Lirilei to affiliate. This includes those annoying tektek post modifiers. I don't care if it is pre programmed, DEprogram it. Lazy arses.
Don't quote the front page. It's ANNOYING.
Be at least somewhat literate. Spell out your words, use proper punctuation, grammar if you can help it. It helps show you use your head for more than a hat rack. And makes Ridley feel better about his taxes going to the schools.
More can and might be added as is needed. Just because it's not listed here, does NOT mean it's not a rule that won't be enforced by one of us.
If you want a hope of a donation from us your profile must be viewable by the public. We can't give you stuff, if we don't know what you want. We hate guessing.
To be able to get stuff from us, your trading pass needs to be enabled and working properly. Hard to give you stuff, when we get told your pass is broken.
COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!!
To be eligible for page prizes, you have to have been an active thread member for at least 10 pages BEFORE the page prizes. This seems fair, and with our no bumping policy, means you have been talking to others in thread. it also prevents page sniping.
If you have truly read this post, then have the phrase "I am a newb! Don't feed me to the Sharkticons!" In your first post. It is also the way to qualify for contests. Even if you have BEEN here, you still need to post this.

Well, you have reached the bottom of the First page, and we have to say, if you stuck around, we are impressed! Good luck in your quests, and we hope to see you really soon!
PS...little known fact...we LOVE art! Especially of us and our regs! Thank you art will be going here!
