Past Raffles will be posted here

Archive tracker for all free completed, paid completed and raffle completed batches!

ＥＸＰＥＲＩＥＮＣＥ
Experience is awarded based on how many words you write, and/or the content of your art. All entries will receive experience (as long as you follow the art/writing only rules)!

Here is our writing exp scale, and here is our art exp scale. The writing exp scale is the same as the one used in explore. The art exp scale may be subject to change in the future.


ＳＴＡＲＤＵＳＴ
If you earn at least 60 exp total from all of your quest responses in a round, then you're eligible to receive stardust as a prize as well! You don't need 60+ exp from each quest; just 60 overall (i.e. 30 from quest one, 20 from quest two, 10 from quest three).

Your exp will be converted to stardust as follows: 1 exp = 2 stardust
Don't worry, you'll still receive experience as well! The stardust is just an additional, bonus prize.


ＷＩＮＮＥＲＳ
Winners are chosen based on effort, quality, and creativity. Prizes vary between months and quests, but Hana's favorite entries from each quest will receive a rarer bonus prize!

Q: How do we win prizes? What can we win?
A: Participating in quests will earn you experience, stardust, or even special items! The more you write or add to your art, the more experience and stardust you could earn

Q: Are we allowed to answer all three quests available for the month?
A: Yes, absolutely!

Q: Can Hana ask the same question twice?
A: Theoretically, yes! Our quests are chosen via random number generator from a document that only staff have access to

Q: May I suggest a prompt?
A: Yes!! Please do! My DMs are always open to prompt suggestions <3

Q: How are the pieces judged?
A: Experience and stardust are awarded by effort, and winners are chosen by effort, quality, and creativity!

Q: I responded to a prompt, but didn't get any exp! What happened?
A: Please double check the requirements for the prompt. Writing done for art-only prompts and art done for writing-only prompts won't count for any experience. If you followed the prompt requirements and answered the right prompt, then there may have been a mistake on our end; we're only human after all! Please DM one of the staff members who helped judged to let them know!

This board is now open for marking !

ＥＸＰＬＯＲＩＮＧ　／　ＰＡＴＲＯＬＬＩＮＧ
to start exploring, head on over to the explore thread and fill out the explore code provided! you may change the formatting, but please be sure to keep all the information from the base coding clearly visible. here is a handy checklist to ensure you have all the necessary info.

you may send a max of six cats on patrol! additional cats can be included in your writing, but they won't count towards the rolls and shouldn't be linked in the "cats on patrol" sections. kits also do not count towards explore rolls and shouldn't be linked in this section. your explore writing can be about anything, but should ideally end with / connect to a patrol, since the writer who responds to your post will roll for prey and herbs found on patrol.

when you first start out, your cats will gain no hunger for your first three posts. your cats also won't encounter any predators or border skirmishes, fall ill, or receive any random injuries. this is to give your cats time to gather food and herbs to survive. these three hunger-free posts are per person, not per clan.

after you've written and posted your explore, you'll need to wait for a writer to reply to your post before writing another one. writing a quality explore reply can take time, so please be patient. writers have up to four weeks to get a response out to players, though it typically won't take that long. your post wasn't skipped; we have multiple writers claiming different posts, and some might finish their replies sooner than others. for ease, you may also check if your post has been claimed and find all your prior posts and replies on our explore log!

while exploring, you have a chance to find food, find herbs, encounter some friendly faces, and even find rare items! however, this is a survival game. your cats may get sick, engage in battles with predators, fight in border skirmishes, or receive random injuries. your cats will not die in explore unless you opt-in to death. everything you do in explore will earn you experience, which is used to level-up and earn cool rewards!

for a more in-depth explanation of all explore mechanics, head on over to the how to play section of the explore thread!


ＱＵＥＳＴＳ
another way to gain experience, as well as develop your cats and clan, is to write and/or draw responses to the prompts provided on the quest board! quests can vary from clan traditions, to lore, to something as specific as your founder's favorite prey.

these prompts are updated monthly, and will earn you exp based on how much effort you put into your response. to use this exp to level up and receive your level up rewards, you'll need to post an explore and link to the exp you earned from the quest board. each prompt will have a few winners chosen as well, who will receive a cool prize!


ＬＥＶＥＬＳ
to level up, you'll need to earn experience (exp / xp) through exploring, participating in prompts, or sometimes even events! you'll earn +10 exp for every explore post posted, as well as additional experience for writing, participating in battles, finding herbs/food, etc. every time you level up, you get a reward!

when you level up, your previous experience is "spent" on the level up and will not roll over to your new level. for example, if you have 135 experience and are level 0, you'll level up to level 1 and have 35 experience left. you cannot skip levels.

all users start at level zero!
level one: 100 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, +50 SD
level two: 200 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, + 1 Herb, +1 Common Edit
level three: 300 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +1 Herb, +1 NR MYO
level four: 400 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Uncommon Edit, +1 Stellar Remnants
level five: 500 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Random Custom, +150 SD
level six: 650 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 Star's Blessing, +1 Boon Of Fertility, +100 SD
level seven: 800 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 C MYO, +1 Shooting Star
level eight: 950 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 Semi Custom, +300 SD, +1 1UC MYO
level nine: 1000 xp | Rewards: +5 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 UN MYO, +1 Rare Edit
level ten: 1200 xp | Rewards: +5 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 UR MYO
level eleven: 1400 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 Supernova
level twelve: 1600 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +6 Herbs, +1 Myth Edit

if you reached a level with an item reward before this announcement post, you can head on over to the archive thread to claim your prize!


ＧＥＴＴＩＮＧ　ＮＥＷ　ＣＡＴＳ
to gain new cats for your clan, you can participate in adopt competitions, purchase customs and MYOs, or breed your cats. you can also sometimes find MYOs in explore, or win them as prizes from the quest board!

to adopt a cat via a competition, check out the cats colored-in under this page. if a cat has an "adopt me!" sign on their drawing, they're available for adoption. be sure to check the end date though, because some competitions may have already closed!

to purchase a custom, you'll need to wait for an artist to open slots on the main thread. you can read more about customs here. to purchase a MYO ("make your own"), visit the MYO page. you can design MYOs yourself, or recruit another user/artist to design them for you!

you can also gain more cats by breeding your cats in the nursery, though you'll need to wait for an artist to open slots. if you don't have two cats yet, you can use the nursery NPCs!


ＡＧＩＮＧ　ＵＰ
apprentices can grow to warriors 3 weeks after being posted. kittens can grow to apprentices 3 weeks after being posted, and then to warriors 6 weeks after the kitten was posted.

to have your cat grown, please bump the cat's page to remind the artist! some artists will post growths without a reminder, but most do not. there will be a date on the post telling you when your cat can grow so you know exactly what day to bump the thread.

if you'd like to skip the 3 week wait, the star's grace item in Starclan's shop can be used to skip the wait for one stage of one cat. (for example, a kitten can skip the 3 week wait and grow to an apprentice immediately, but they'll still need to wait another 3 weeks to become a warrior.)


ＨＯＮＯＲＡＢＬＥ　ＭＥＮＴＩＯＮＳ　＆　ＲＵＮＮＥＲ　ＵＰＳ
sometimes an artist has a difficult time choosing just one winner for an adopt, and will reward an HM (honorable mention) or RU (runner up) to other entries. HMs can be used to purchase customs; you can find the HM custom prices here. RUs are a second cat designed by the artist that will belong to you.

[ Nusery FAQ • Archive FAQ • [url=x]Off-Oekaki MYO FAQ[/url] • Quest Board FAQ • Explore FAQ • Artist Search FAQ ]

ＭＡＮＡＧＥＭＥＮＴ
Q: How long should we wait for our purchases to be banked before asking about them?
A: Usually, I will approve purchases ASAP - no poking necessary!

Q: When is the store restocked?
A: Typically somewhere around the first few days of the month! There isn't an exact schedule and restocks aren't always announced.

Q: Who can approve my MYO?
A: The only users permitted to officially approve MYOs at the moment are myself (Swishy & Broken), I Like Bees, and Mythz!

Q: Can I buy MYOs with stardust?
A: Not usually, but on rare occasion there might be a sale that will use stardust!

Q: May I create a cat off-Oekaki?
A: Yes, you can find the info on our [url=x]off-Oekaki MYO thread[/url]!

Q: I'm not added to the MYO cover! How do I make my cat?
A: Just post on this thread to ask to be added and I'll add you asap! ^^

Q: Can I buy MYO tickets / edits / stardust with tokens?
A: If there is an announcement made stating this, then yes, you may buy Stars currency/items with CS event tokens in place of C$ during events! The token to C$ conversion can be found in the announcement. Different tokens may have different conversion rates, and prices may change throughout the duration of the event, but neither of these are guaranteed. Purchases generally stop some time before the end of the event to allow for trade-in time.


ＥＤＩＴＳ
Q: Does my Common MYO (C MYO) get unlimited common edits?
A: Yes!

Q: Does my Uncommon MYO (UC MYO) get unlimited common edits? Does my Rare MYO (R MYO) get unlimited uncommon and common edits?
A: Yes to both of these! All MYO tickets get unlimited edits of the rarities below the ticket rarity. For example, an uncommon MYO ticket gets unlimited common and NR edits.

Q: Can I add another edit to my cat after it's already been approved?
A: After a cat has been approved, you may not edit the design without purchasing the proper rarity edit from the MYO store or shop located on the main page. Once this is done you should let us know that you've used an edit on one of your cats here. All edits to existing approved cats must be applied via color-in and receive approval again.

Q: How do I apply a StarClan lines edit (Star's Greetings item)?
A: Here are our guidelines for how to apply a StarClan or Dark Forest edit to your cat! Just like any edit item, please make sure to apply the edit via color-in (do not edit the original reference), get the edit approved, and post a "used item" form on the archives.


ＧＲＯＷＴＨＳ
Q: Can MYOs be kits/apprentices?
A: Yes! You will be responsible for their growths, and the date that they can grow will be given when they're approved.

Q: What should I do if I want to add an edit that will only appear on my reference once my cat is grown?
A: You should list every edit your cat, once grown, will have when posting the original kitten/apprentice reference for approval. If you do not list this edit we will only be able to assume that your cat will have the default lines, and you will need to apply edit items for any new edits shown.

Q: When can my MYO grow?
A: Your MYO can grow from kit to apprentice 3 weeks after the MYO was posted, and apprentice to warrior after an additional 3 weeks! If you skip the apprentice growth, your kit will still take 6 weeks to grow to a warrior. These growth dates go by the time your cat was posted, not the time they were approved. Growths cannot be approved until the day they are scheduled to grow.

Q: Can I post my MYO's growths in advance / during the approval process?
A: Yes! You're welcome to post all three (or two) growths at the same time, to ensure all their markings and edits are accurate and won't require future editing or use of edit items later down the line. However, your cat's growths cannot be approved until the date(s) they're scheduled to grow, and you may not use their growths until the growths are approved!

ＢＡＳＩＣＳ
While exploring, you have a chance to find food/herbs, encounter some friendly faces, and even find rare items! However, remember this is a survival game! Your cats may get sick, engage in battles with predators, fight in border skirmishes, or receive random injuries. Your cats will not die in explore unless you opt-in to death. Everything you do in explore will earn you experience (EXP / XP), which is used to level-up and earn cool rewards (below)!

Here are some pointers to help you get started!
1. To begin, fill out the explore code provided below! You may pretty the code up, but please keep all the information from the base coding clearly visible in the post itself (not linked somewhere offsite/on another thread). Here is a handy checklist to ensure you have all the required info.



Code: Select all

Including writing for your explore post is optional! However, the more you write, the more experience (XP) you earn. You may also pretty this up if you'd like, or change the coding, however, make sure everything that is originally on here remains on here ([url=https://i.ibb.co/c826FbX/image.png]see this handy checklist to help you out[/url]) c:

2. When you first start out, you’ll receive three free posts. These are given out per user, not per clan and provides your cats time to gather food and herbs! Your cats will gain no hunger for your first three posts. They also won’t encounter any predators or border skirmishes, fall ill, or receive any random injuries.

3. Max of six cats (adults/apprentices) on patrol, please! Additional cats can be included in your writing, but they won't count towards the rolls and shouldn't be linked in the "cats on patrol" sections. Kits cannot be added to the patrol list!

4. HP = health; HUP = hunger! All of your cats will start at 0% HUP (hunger) and 100% HP (health). Find out more information about HUP in “hunger & custom prey” and on HP in “health & healing”.

5. (Optional) If you’d like, you may customize your prey/predator list and/or opt-in for death! Just fill out the forms, post them on the explore thread + link them in your future explore post(s)!

6. Explore writing can be about anything, but should ideally end with / connect to a patrol! It’s a good idea to leave your explore post open for writers to jump-in, because the writer who responds will be writing about any prey/herbs found and any mini-scenarios encountered. Alternatively, you're welcome to send a patrol out without any writing as well.

7. After you've posted your explore post, wait for a writer to reply to your post before writing another one! Writing a quality explore reply can take time, so please be patient. Writers have one month (from the time they claimed your post) to get a response out to players, though it typically won't take that long. Your post wasn't skipped; we have multiple writers claiming different posts, and some might finish their replies sooner than others. For ease, you may also check if your post has been claimed and find all your prior posts and replies on our explore log!

8. When a writer responds, you may (or may not) receive a mini-scenario! If you’re still on your three free posts, you’ll encounter one of our friendly npcs! Read more about npc tasks and other mini-scenarios here!


ＬＥＶＥＬＳ
To level up, you'll need to earn experience (EXP / XP) through exploring, participating in prompts, or sometimes even events! You'll earn +10XP for every explore post posted, as well as additional experience for writing, participating in battles, finding herbs/food, etc. Every time you level up, you get a reward!

When you level up, your previous experience is "spent" on the level up and will not roll over to your new level. For example, if you have 135XP and are level 0, you'll level up to level 1 and have 35XP left. You cannot skip levels.

All users start at level zero! Experience listed is how much is required to reach that level (+ here is another way to visualize this).
Level one: 100XP| Rewards: +1 FP, +50 SD
Level two: 200XP | Rewards: +1 FP, + 1 Herb, +1 Common Edit
Level three: 300XP | Rewards: +2 FP, +1 Herb, +1 NR MYO
Level four: 400XP| Rewards: +2 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Uncommon Edit, +1 Stellar Remnants
Level five: 500XP | Rewards: +3 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Random Custom, +150 SD
Level six: 650XP | Rewards: +3 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 Star's Blessing, +1 Boon Of Fertility, +100 SD
Level seven: 800XP | Rewards: +4 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 C MYO, +1 Shooting Star
Level eight: 950XP | Rewards: +4 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 Semi Custom, +300 SD, +1 1UC MYO
Level nine: 1000XP | Rewards: +5 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 UN MYO, +1 Rare Edit
Level ten: 1200XP | Rewards: +5 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 UR MYO
Level eleven: 1400XP | Rewards: +6 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 Supernova
Level twelve: 1600XP | Rewards: +6 FP, +6 Herbs, +1 Myth Edit

ＨＵＮＧＥＲ 　 & 　ＦＯＯＤ
To survive, your cats require food! Food points (FP) can be found randomly on patrols. The amount of food you find varies by season and number of cats on patrol. During some seasons, your cats may receive a bountiful hunt — this doubles the FP they find!

Your cats will gain +10% HUP (hunger) per patrol. This hunger gain only applies to the cats sent on that patrol. For your first three explore posts, none of your cats will gain any hunger. If a cat reaches 60% hunger or above, they will lose -10% health every patrol they go on, until they're fed enough FP to lower their hunger below 60%.

If you are running dangerously low on FP, you can purchase or swap for some from Mousespeck. If you have some spare FP, you can also trade those to Mousespeck for stardust, which can be used to buy cool items from Starclan’s shop!


ＦＥＥＤＩＮＧ 　ＹＯＵＲ 　 ＣＡＴＳ
Each FP you feed a cat removes 10% hunger (1FP = -10% hunger)! When feeding your cats, remove the prey items from your inventory and place them in the “inventory items used” box of your explore post! Make sure to also update your patrollers’ hunger accordingly in your explore post.

You can choose to split a larger prey item with multiple cats! For example, you can feed three cats with a 3FP piece of prey and each cat will lose 10% hunger. Or you could split it between two cats, and remove 20% hunger from one, and 10% hunger from another. As an additional note, you cannot split a 1FP prey between two cats (removing -5% health for each one). Each FP can only remove -10% hunger (nothing more and nothing less)!


ＤＥＦＡＵＬＴ 　 & 　ＣＵＳＴＯＭ 　 ＰＲＥＤＡＴＯＲ／ＰＲＥＹ 　 ＬＩＳＴ
(Optional) To make your explores more personalized, you’re welcome to pick what prey and/or predators will appear in your territory! This is completely optional, but if you’re interested just fill out the form below (in the code block)! Otherwise, writers will use the default list for prey and predators when replying to your posts!


Default Prey List:
1 FP = scraps, bugs
2 FP = mouse, vole, shrew, small fish
3 FP = minnow, squirrel, frog
4 FP = rabbit, bird, owl, falcon
5 FP = hawk, eagle, vulture
Default Predator List:
badger, fox, bird of prey, dog, snake

Form Reminders:
1. Make sure to link your custom prey/predator list in every explore post!
2. Your prey list should have at least 1 item for each FP value! 2-3 items per FP value is ideal
3. Lists can be specific or general (i.e. mouse or small rodent)
4. Fantasy prey is allowed, but please keep your lists realistic size-wise (i.e. a bear shouldn't be prey, an eagle shouldn't be worth 1FP, etc.)
5. Your predator list should have at least 1 predator! These shouldn’t include cats (you’ll encounter these in border skirmishes)

Color rarities determine how often they’ll be seen in auction, and how likely they are to pass on to your horses offspring!

Very Common: 70% pass rate
Tobiano, Overo, Splash, Dapples, Single Cream, Pangere, Nd1, flaxen

Common: 60% pass rate (combo genes pass separately)

[quote="Introduction"]Pine Valley Ranch has been breeding high quality quarter horses for generations! Specializing in producing horses with slow, smooth gaits with disciplines like western pleasure and hunter under saddle in mind. Over the years we’ve imported horses from around the world to aid in our breeding program! It’s been such a success that for the first time we are offering our stock to the public, including a breeding facility with a handful of our top studs and mare available for stud and brood. Not what you’re looking for? We will also help facilitate the import of horses from every continent, including some with very special and unique markings! [/quote]

When an artist opens slots, they may require a prompt response in order to consider your form! Your form may or may not be judged by the prompt content, depending on the artist's choice.

All the prompt options you may answer are listed in this post. You may choose any prompt you want to respond to. You are highly encouraged to take the time to prewrite/predraw the prompt response for your form(s), as artist slots may only be open for a small period of time. You are also encouraged to reuse the same response for each time you resubmit the form, but you may not reuse the writing/art from an accepted ticket for a new ticket.

You only need to answer one prompt in your form. You must write a minimum 300 words or draw a minimum lined fullbody.

ＰＲＯＭＰＴ　ＯＰＴＩＯＮＳ

i. Describe the parents'* relationship. This can be any specific aspect or interaction, or a summary of their relationship as a whole.
ii. Write/draw** about the parent(s)* discussing / thinking about their future kittens. How do they feel about their expected kittens? What are their plans? How does this affect their lives? etc.
iii. Write/draw** about the hypothetical kits from this litter. What is their planned place in your lore? What is their importance? How will their heritage affect them, if at all? etc.
* What "parent(s)" means in these prompts is up to you, and can refer to whatever is relevant to your form/lore! This may simply be the cats linked in the form, only one of the parents if they're a single parent or only one parent is in-character, the adopted parents of the future kits, or anything else. Whatever applies to your lore and answers the prompt honestly is acceptable.

** If your art includes the kittens, do not give them defined designs! The artist will not design you the kitten coats you want based on the designs in your drawing; coats are the artist's choice. You may want to leave the kittens' colors blank, as silhouettes only, or otherwise leave their features vague.

Both parents will have a 2 week cooldown. NPCs cannot go on cooldown. A cat's cooldown can be skipped with an hourglass item from Starclan's shop. Cat cooldowns start at the time your form is accepted (not when the litter is posted).

For genetics-based breedings:
xx Cat 1: This cat is designated "pregnant" or "carrying the kits."
xx Cat 2: This cat is not pregnant / carrying the kits.
This may affect the possible base colors of kittens, but has no effect beyond that and does not need to apply to your lore.

[ NPCs • Event NPCs • NPC Litter Tracker ]

It seems like some kitties have been waiting for your arrival! You can find them here. These cats may be used for litters with each other or with your own kitties! You may spot them appearing in explore and other Stars mechanics as well. Keep in mind that some nursery NPCs have retired and may no longer be used for litters.

ＲＵＬＥＳ　＆　ＧＵＩＤＥＬＩＮＥＳ
xx i. You may only breed with each NPC twice. This is tracked here.
xx ii. Your cat will go on a 2 week cooldown after the breeding (since the NPC cannot go on cooldown).
xx iii. Cats related through an NPC are still considered related and cannot have kittens together.

We also have a very special group of kitties that only visit during events. These cats can be found here! Please remember they only come around once or twice a year, but they are really worth the wait (: Each event NPC has their own unique trait that will influence their kittens. You can read about these traits on each cat's page! When the event NPCs are available, it will be stated on the main event NPC page.

[center][quote][size=85][b][url=https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=4964861]Kelso Shetland Ponies[/url][/b], originating in the historic town of Kelso, Scotland, this breed is known most for their compact build and for being extremely hardy and resilient. Ranging anywhere from 7 hands to 12.2 hands, the KSBA recognises any coat color and pattern found in the world of equine genetics. Though it is not entirely recommended for adults to ride them due to their smaller stature, they excel in driving, farmwork, sports, in-hand showing, jumping and more. Their playful personality and friendly demeanor make for the perfect companion.[/quote]
