Hey, guys!!!

The Seven Day Seven Breed release is upon us and as is inevitable - there's bound to be some fogging going on.

Now as you guys know, I and my mods had decided that people with fogged eggs (without screenshot of the egg, so that we know what it is) would be taken off the list.

But because of the release this week - I am going to put a temporary stop in applications until June First.

Gifting is fine, getting gifted is fine as well.

Anyone that are still on the list, that has fogged eggs, will stay on the list. June 1, we will be doing scroll checks before we reopen for applications. So if you still have a fogged something on your scroll at that time - take a screenshot of it unfogged then fog it - send the screenshot image (the code of the egg MUST be clearly showing) to the thread account.

After June 1, there will no longer be any exceptions. Screenshots of the egg or hatchie MUST be taken before fogging, and sent to the thread account. Without those screenshots (remember code must be visible), you'll lose your spot on the list and have to reapply.

Thanks!

Fogged scrolls, hidden adults and fogged eggs/hatchlings are all cause for removal from shimmerscale lists. If you need to fog an egg or hatchling due to sickness, please send this account a screenshot of the egg/hatchling prior to fogging it. This is simply to ensure that it is not a shimmerscale whose list you are on. Peace.

Please Note: Applicants for Shimmerscales may not request lineages at all. If it is inbred, messy, twenty generations or what-have-you, please accept it with a gracious 'thank you'. Peace.

Due to the timing of TJ's Birthday Release, I have pushed back the date I was going to open the shimmerscale lists.

Counting backwards - opening the lists on the 15th will give you a full 7 days to apply, get shimmers, rinse and repeat with more applicants, etc.

I'll be making a few tweaks in the rules and faq section for clarification as certain rules no longer apply to tinsels.

HOWEVER, and that's a BIG however, I request that you gift back at least one shimmerscale offspring of your shimmerscale gift (or other shimmerscales) - can be any, as long as you at least gift back something - for karma's sake. Plus, you'll feel good about it, too!

On a more serious note:

I have had to remove an user from a tinsel list on account of not responding for 48 hours. The gifter HAD message tracker turned ON and knew that the person had read, but not responded. AT ALL.

This is very very discourteous. And this counts as YOUR warning that if you're removed for such an action - you will end up on the Wall of Shame.

These Gifters don't have to gift anyone. They choose to do it because they ENJOY the delight of their giftees.

I'm pointing to the shimmerscales with the following warning:

EACH gift that you get (the first one of being offered - you may be offered 2 or 3 at the same time - you're required to accept the first one, pm the others and decline theirs and say that you must decline as someone offered first.

I don't want to hear gifters saying that "So-so said she doesn't want this lineage because blah blah reason."

My response to THAT is this:

So what if the shimmerscale is inbred, has a messy lineage or even is a LONG generation. It's STILL your first shimmerscale of that color. Seeing as you don't get on a shimmerscale list of that color if you already had one...

You take what's given to you AND you THANK the gifter.

IF someone who tries to refuse a gift - the gifter can contact simkim at her pm (please use simkim's pm, not the project account) and inform simkim.

Sunny (as in simkim) - being me - will come on the project account, remove that person from said list and put on the wall of shame.

I don't want any refusing. I want to see you guys thanking people for their generosity. In the previous Tinsel thread, someone who loves breeding her tinsels, quit because of this exact reason.

I don't want to see that happening here. I want to see everyone all happy!

So after reading all that... here's the actual date of the opening.

May 15, 2013 will be the day the Shimmerscales open!

Insanity or Sanity?

Today's almost the end of May 1.

And I'm like... woah!!!  Another month passed by so fast... I didn't even have time to notice going past me!  :D

Actually, more like, I was busy busy doing stuff like winning lottos, being gifted, etc etc etc - so that I have plenty of shimmerscales for when we finally open the shimmerscale lists later THIS month.

YEP!  I said THIS month!

I didn't do much news last month for various reasons.  Long story short, I was busy getting those pretty shimmerscales and having work on my mouth done.

I still have yet to get enough money to get the cavities fixed (I sure don't want my teeth to be lost and me have to deal with wearing actual full dentures before i'm even 40)!

Ah, well, that's not for here, that's for another place.  :)

So that's basically it.

Next post is gonna be me archiving the April gifts list.

With bright smiles!

Past News of April 2013

Congratulations go out to michellechan2211, Evangeline5432, GCat, and Erithan as our new secondary mods.  Michelle and Eva have been with us from the old thread, but they are great and have graciously agreed to remain as mods.

Since I'm the one doing tweaks - I'm sorry that it got delayed due to unforeseeable events over the past two weeks.  I so totally appreciate your patience!

I've added a new feature - each month's news will be archived.  For people who are curious and want to learn more about things.

Pain is not something I enjoy, nor enjoy having to have four teeth yanked from the upper jaw.  Right now, I look like a rabbit if I do an open teeth smile.  Yuk!  But next Monday, the 15th, I'll have a retainer with fake teeth on 'em to make my smile somewhat almost complete.  Almost complete because I still need fillings for cavities and such.  Which my insurance decided wasn't part of the full dental coverage.

I'm thinking ... uh... there's the problem with America's health care system.  Compared to other first world countries, we pay SIGNIFICANTLY more.  Yet we're the country with the most health problems.

Simple solution - pay for prevention and maintenance.  Stop insisting on useless tests or procedures to prolong someone's life when doing so would result in literally no quality of life.

Oh yeah, for those of us who are broke, essentially - stop making it cheaper to eat crappy junk food.  Make it cheaper to eat healthy, rather than junk food.  I'm sure obesity would be significantly reduced.

/end of soapbox

Here's the actual news - tonight, I'm archiving stuff, wiping the thread up to April 1.  AND doing the promised tweaks.  (You might be asking, what tweaks? Find out soon!)  (And shame on me - I lost the newest artwork and I can't even remember WHO did it.. *big sad face*)

Thank you, everyone, for participating in a wonderful thread, being donors, being giftees and most of all - being kind to each other.  That rocks big time!

Who are the new Secondary Mods?

I and my team of mods have settled on who we want for the secondary mods.

They are GCat (Kit for short) and Erithan along with two secondary mods from the old tinsel thread; Michelle and Evangeline.

Give 'em a congratulatory cheer!

Hope you four enjoy working on the Gifting of Prize Dragons thread!
