~Fables~ [11 Events Open! -RP Prep Coming!]

[Fables]

~Fables~



Welcome all to the secundian grand opening of the Fables!  This has been a long awaited event, on my part at least, for the sheer joy that running the Fables gives me.  But as you all know, things were getting complicated and needed some organization.  I'm glad to announce that we know have divided the fables into two parts for users with more time and users with less.  We also have two new species to be introduced in this thread, and several mutations that have popped up in the Fable population!

Concerning Fables From PonyIsland:

I, with Leet's direction, have made a new cert that is very similar to the old one, except it has more room for the new mutations.  With this change, I decided to update cert ID#s and start from 001 here on Secundi.  All PI fables can still be moved over to Secundi, but now they will get a new ID on the new cert.  However, this means that I either need to go find the old files, which MIGHT be possible, OR I will have to recolor the Fable.  So be prepared for some slight differences if you choose this option.  I feel like this is going to be the easiest way to do the certing, which I have been putting off... and not repeat an old number that I haven't found.

For that reason, we have another change:  Any PI fable can now be cashed in as a custom certificate to replace that fable and a premade certificate to lesson the blow of loosing the old fable.

PI Fable with No Markings or Templated Markings--> Semi Custom Certificate and a Premade Certificate
PI Fable with Custom Markings-->  Full Custom Certificate and a Premade Certificate

To sum it up, you can do 1 of 2 things with PI Fables:
1.  Transfer them to Secundi Cert/ID OR
2.  Cash in for Custom Certificate

RPist's Event #6
AUCTION [Paid]



Not only is this boy fabulously colored, and a boy, but he is already trained as a Lvl 1 Harvester, so you can immediently start taking advantage of his training, or enter him into Lvl 2 training as made available.  He's a hard worker and grew up under his parents guidance.  Both his mother and father were high leveled harvesters back in his home herd.  There was a fire a few years back that took half of his home herd's land and resources... and both of his parents lives.  After the tragedy, he couldn't live in the territory where they had died and left the herd, becoming a nomad.  His heart is starting to recover, but rather than rejoin his home herd that would constantly remind him of the event, he is on the prowl for a new herd, one where he can be of use and make a new home for himself, without the constant reminder of what happened to his parents.

HB:  Kahlira 2 Mill
Starting Bid: 5k
End Date:  Oct 7 2011



This sweet girl comes from a herd of drama, seeking some more laid back Fables to exist with.  She has been trained in Lvl 1 Midwifery/Nurse-maiding and found her true love when she started working with the little ones.  A disagreement with another nursemaid over prejudice favoring the HL's little one led to dismissal from her home herd.  Her mother was sad to see her go, but allowed it none the less, creating a void in this sweetie's heart.  She never knew her father because he was from a different herd, though her mother spoke of him being proud and brave.  Really, this darling is just looking for a place to settle in and make a life, start over and coexist happily-- without having to compromise her morals.

Collector's Event #4
MUSICAL TREES [Free]



We're going to start with ten trees number 1-10.  The first ten users to post some variation of "{user}'s {fable} waits patiently at tree #{your choice}." are the ten users that will play.  
After that, I'll start the music and some time within 24 hours later, I'll post in bold that the music has stopped.
At that time, each of the ten users must post some variation of "{user}'s {fable} races quickly to tree #{your choice}.", except this time one tree has been removed from the game.  So the first users to post for trees 1-9 stay in.
Essentially, we're playing a virtual game of musical chairs, except first to post wins.  Keep in mind that if you post for a tree that has already been posted for, you better repost fast for an unclaimed tree.  Post in Bold and Maroon please!

Inspirational Custom: So Happy I Could Die-Lady Gaga

Okay so I'll be making notes of everything going on an what I want to participate in so I can figure out what I need t post and when. XD

[Luv007]

@Kah:  Originally, I just had it as a side note for myself while I was making up the events, because I wanted there to be more free events, but I wanted to see how people value the Fables so I know what kind of prices I should be charging for customs later.

@wildnightblazer:  I am going to make a promise to each participant of this thread that you will all take home at LEAST one Fable!!  Just give me a heads up at the end of the events if you don't have one yet!

@Wildfilly:  I completely FAIL at simplicity.  If you or anyone else have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

[Wildfilly94]

Can we enter all three wish upon a star' things or just one?

Wildfilly94 picks horse shoe number 10.

100 Tickets for the raffle please <3 (The 1k per ticket one)

I bid 100k on each auction. :3

For the 500sg raffle:
*Adults are called Fables, foals are called Stories.
*Human adults are called Dreams, and babies are called Wishes
*Fables live on a planet called Hadithi
*Breeding of Fables happens every other month
*Goat adults are called Legends, and their babies are called Parables
2,500SG total.

[Luv007]

Good Question.  Please just enter one.  That makes it fair to everyone.

More probability to get a premade than a semi and semi than a custom, but customs are a bit more valuable to most.  Soo... Your choice!

[Luv007]

Can do, guys!  I'll update the first post in a second.  Thank you for all the participation!

[Fables]

I have two more deliveries!

Ravvana- (awaiting payment)



Kahlira-



I must say these are all a ton of fun to color!  If no one enters the other events, I may open up a few more.  I don't want to overwhelm myself.

[Wildfilly94]

I Adore Kahs! :O

Auctions: 200k for both

[Luv007]

Yours is next!!

[Fables]

I have a delivery for wildfilly94-- (also awaiting funds here please)



I have to say that I did find your song harder to find inspiration from, but I tried.  Hope you like her!

[Fables]

Also, I just wanted to say thank you and Pink for the bids!  You should find these two very helpful in a few weeks when it comes time to build herds again.  

I've got a ton of info that I've still got to add, and a few games to update as well, but I haven't transfered them from my handy notebook to the computer yet.  I keep telling people I want a notebook that automatically updates the computer with all the notes I keep in it.  I go through notebooks so fast, though a large part of it is due to my doodling!

The big massive RP event is scheduled to start Oct 10th, so long as we hit no snags along the way.  Which reminds me-- I need to get some training excersizes up asap so that you guys can have "advantages" in the RP.

Honestly, I've never really been much more than a stalker in adoptable RPs, but I have a few games planned along the way, and have the basic plan laid out, as well as intros typed up.  I'm asking that no more than one fable per user come on this journey so that I can send home a prize with everyone.  Let me know what you think-- I value any and all input, though keep in mind I take constructive critisms (As is nicely worded, I don't like this...) better than destructive crits (As in, I HATE YOU.).  Lol.  I get so much enjoyment out of running these and putting all of my imagination into them.  I want to share that with you guys.

And with NaNo coming up in November, you'll need to bust out your own imaginations.  Prizes will be held for that.  And for Halloween, we shall be having a Masquerade Ball for our Fables most likely.  No promises on that yet.

As for previous event items won and whatnot- I have about half the points counted up.  I printed out the whole threads, but one half of the big thread didn't print. I have to count that section and then I will deposite certificates and items into your inventories.  


3 MORE INSPIRATIONAL CUSTOM SLOTS OPEN

You may order a second, but only one at a time.  Once I have completed your order, you may order another.

[Winged]

Inspirational custom!

That is gorgeous, Winged!  I hope I can make a Fable that will hold up to the beauty in that picture!

[Winged]

Aw, thanks! It was a lovely area.

[SkySong]

Inspirational Custom
Cage the Elephant - Lotus

[Ryuukokoro]

Yaaay these are fun! Maybe I need to do a little Okibi event too. X3

[Pinkshadow]

i loove that last fable

Action 2 : 250K

[Wildfilly94]

Ahh shes gorgeous!!! :O
This is a perfect treat for me today. I've had a very bad day, so thank you very much. <3 Shes perfect.

I'll name her.... Lady Gaga. :p
And sending the 10k for her now. (Totally forgot.)

300k on the second auction. <3

[Kahlira]

O.O

I.

Am.

Ded.

seriously! She's epic!

I don't know what to name her >.<

Was thinking "Brooke" heh, but I dunno. (Ya know, after the singer guy, Garth Brooks)
But not I'm not so sure.

[Luv007]

I'll add those in asap and get them done when I'm feeling less gittery and can actually sit and do something.

I don't know if any of you have seen Limitless-- personally, I'm not a fan.  But energy drinks, specifically red Amps kind of work like that for me.  Make me shake and hyper and my body temp gets higher.  It's weird... but it helps me get things done and makes me able to focus, and at the same time seems to open my brain up.  I can think x100 clearer for some reason.  My husband use to say that energy drinks make me drunk.  I prefer to think that they just give me a lot more personality, or bring out the parts of personality I generally hide.  Lol.

Conclusion:  I'll work on these either later tonight or tomorrow.

@Kah- I'm so glad you like her.  I was actually a bit worried, but she was a ton of fun to color.

@Wild-  Not a problem.   I'm glad she meets your expectations.

@Pink- I'm quite fond of her myself.  I was sooo tempted to pick a different one for the auction and keep her, but she just fits the nursemaid role so well I think... Nice pretty simple colors and markings, but elegant at the same time.  So good luck to all bidders!!

@Ryuu:  I hope you do!!  And that is one gorgeous girl!

@Sky:  Depends on how long it takes me to burn out on these guys.  I'm opening them in small doses so that I make sure things get done though.

@Winged:  Looks incredible.  My husband just got an interview for a job in Alaska and we're interested in going out there because of the lack of population.  I'm totally a small town girl and love nature and the country.  The weird thing about AL is that I have been interested in no where else-- Hawaii included, but Alaska would be phenomenal to visit or even live in I think.

[Winged]

Well this is in Scotland but i've no idea is Alaska is similar or not. I'm the same, i don't like cities much and love the country, especially the mountains!

[Luv007]

From what I know about Alaska... It's a whole lotta snow.  Lol.  But it's something new and different and it's NOT a huge city.  He interviewed for a Washington DC job and I was NOT happy about that one.  I couldn't stand living in a big city.  Lol.
