UPCOMING EVENT
12th July 2007

Yes, you were right, we were plotting something. A POKEMON Event will be happening in the Eyrie sometime around October.
There will be flatsales happening before that to keep everyone happy.
We are also hoping to show more phoenii lines *hopefully full phoenix and more* at this event.
Why are we telling you now?
Because we will be getting advertising going for this fairly early. We have a lot of pokemon phoenii to find new homes so the more people that know, the better.
The sort of things you can expect will be raffles, flaffles, auctions and games. But it will not be a singular event. Starting from October, when a lot of stuff will most likely be happening, we are hoping to have something pokemon related at least once per month.
If you have any pokemon that you really want to see in the events, feel free to post in here with a reason behind it and if we like it, we will add it to our to-do list.

FLATSALE COMING
4th July 2007

That's right, we're having a flatsale. The LAST EVER gen1/2 basic colors.
Next Wednesday from 8am GMT for 24 hours, there will be unlimited eggs for sale. The catch? You can only buy TWO. So be careful what you pick. No refunds.
All eggs MUST be named and genderised at time of sale. If not, it is not sold to you.
Because of the possibility of large amounts of eggs being sold, please don't be surprised if they take a little while to cert but they will all be posted in this thread/page 2 once they are.

What happens with flatsales after this?
They will be precolored and genderised eggs worth 5k each. Usually at least one male and female from each colorist.

But I still want gen1/2 phoenii?
After this sale, they will be for sale in the anytime thread. More info will be in there later

..::The Story::..



It is said that long ago, the elements were ruled by five Phoenixes, each named after a gemstone. There was Ruby, who controlled fire. There was Emerald, who controlled the earth. There was Diamond, who controlled the winds. There was Amethyst, who controlled the spirits. And there was one, called Sapphire, who controlled water and ice.

These five sisters went seperate ways, to watch over what they had been given. The Ruby Phoenix settled down in hotter cilmates, the Emerald Phoenix found a home in the rainforests, then Diamond Phoenix found a home in the ocean, the Amethyst Phoenix found a home in the skies. The Sapphire Phoenix, however, decided that instead of simply settling somewhere quietly, she would find a home suitable to reproduce and start laying eggs. And so, she searched the Earth for a quiet place, somewhere warm where her offspring, the ‘Phoenii’, could grow and flourish.

In a valley unknown to most, the Sapphire Phoenix found a suitable home; a tall cliff, dotted with holes and caves, perfect for nests. The valley was home to a gorgeous waterfall, and lush green grass. It would be perfect for young to be raised without disturbance. And so the Sapphire Phoenix laced the topmost cavern with ice and prepared herself...

..::The Rules::..


General Rules

1. Gaia's ToS is strictly enforced here
2. We have zero tolerance for art theft.
3. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
4. Staff word is law; harrassment may result in a warning.
5. Keep your manners about you, use your common sense, and leave your drama at the door.

Shop ettiquette

1. Advertising must be in your sig ONLY; headers/footers are still part of your post.
2. Do not harass anyone for a Phoenii. This includes bribing for eggs!
3. Do not duplicate names. Also, no Phoenii may be named 'Sapphire'.
4. Payment for pets must be received within 24 hours; the trade must be completed before delivery. Do not bid what you cannot afford.
5. Meaningful RP is encouraged; random tomfoolery is not. Please take that to the guild.
6. Please keep your font readable, we dont want to have to highlight or copy/paste to read it
7. An owner is allowed a maximum of three unnamed Phoenii at one time; please name your Phoenii within two weeks. If either of these conditions are broken, you will be barred from obtaining any more Phoenii until they have been named. This is to ensure that all Phoenii are named and therefore listed on the Ownerlist.
8. Symbols like [ ] { } ( ) ` are not allowed in phoenii names unless it is for a good reason eg. Tuma'el

Phoeniix Questions


What is a Phoenii?
A Phoenii is the offspring of the Sapphire Phoenix. See the story for more details.

How do I get a Phoenii?
Keep an eye on this topic for new eggs, or if you know two people who are breeding their Phoenii and wish to sell a baby, you can bid for them then. smile

Is my Phoenii a girl or a boy?
The gender of your phoenii will be determined by the colorist before you buy it, You will be informed the gender(s) before sales/events

How do I name my Phoenii?
You are usually asked to provide a name for your phoenii at time of sale but if you are unable to, feel free to use this code in the thread:


[color=red][size=24][b]ATTN: STAFF[/b][/size][/color]
[b]Phoenii ID:[/b]
[b]Name wanted:[/b]


What colour of Phoenii can I get?
That depends on what the colorists have colored for the sale or event that you are taking part in

How long does it take my Phoenii to become an adult??
Roughly 4 weeks depending on colorists real life time limits. Growings happen between Friday and Sunday


When I breed my Phoenii, what colour of eggs will I get?
It depends who your Phoenii breeds with.

Can my Phoenii breed with the Sapphire Phoenix?
No.

How can I get items for my phoenii?
Items are for sale as Roleplay rewards, see the RP forum threads for more information



Store Questions


Do I have to pay with pure gold?
No, you can pay using items that are to the equivelant of what you are buying.
We will not accept tickets/tokens and commons are taken at 90% store price.

How many Phoenii can I own?
As many as you want! :3

Can I pay half now and half later?
No.

I sent you a trade for an egg yesterday, and when I came on today, you had cancelled it. Why?
If you bid on or try to buy an egg, you must pay for it immediately. I will give you a small window of time to pay, and if you don't, then the egg will go back on sale. This way, people can't 'reserve' eggs, which is unfair to other eager buyers.




MiscellaneousQuestions


How do I know if there are any updates?
Check the thread title, that is kept up to date with what's going on. Major updates are in post 2.
TheSapphirePhoenix also uses her journal to announce breeding results and to welcome new phoenii into the thread. biggrin

If I ask a question in this thread, will you read it?
Yes, I read every single post. But if it is urgent, please use:


[color=red][size=24]ATTN STAFF:[/color][/size]
biggrin


Would you be interested in a pet trade?
Please check staff journals for what our staff would like and if they are accepting

Are you looking for mods/colourists/guest colourists?
At the moment, no. However, if you show good mod qualities, help people out in thread and know your Phoenii stuff, we might consider you. biggrin

Would you be interested in being a guest colourist?
Depends how busy we are! check our staff journals

Who did the lineart for your Phoenii?
Sapphire Lazuli

..:: Phoeniix stages and General Information::..

The Phoenii are the children of the Sapphire Phoenix, a mythical Gemstone Phoenix who often takes a human form in between laying eggs. Varying in colours, Phoenii are cheerful and friendly birds. They are also very independant, and will feed themselves. To take care of your Phoenii, all you have to do is show them love and affection!

Eggs take anything up to 7 days to hatch. However, this process can be sped up using a Speed Vial. This serum contains all the vitamins and minerals the chick needs, and will induce an early hatching. From then on, you get to watch your healthy baby Phoenii grow up naturally. All Phoenii are born with red eyes, like their mother. However, the pigment in their eyes can be altered using an Iris Vial.

One week after Phoenii have grown into adults, they are able to breed. Adult Phoenii must be given a feritility vial in order to reproduce. There is limit of one vial per Phoenii at any time, to prevent an overdose of hormones. Anything between 2 and 4 eggs can be produced.

All Phoenii children look the same, except from their colouring. It is only when they become teenagers that a change occurs, with females sporting a longer tail, and male with a larger crest. Adults change further, with female's tails growing even longer, and getting hair-like crests. Males sport a taller crest also.
