1. Don't beg (meaning I or the artists making will get to the design if it takes longer then normal message me and I will look into it)

2. Closed species so don't make any that aren't yours to make (no fakes those are for artist contests only)

3. Limit will be 10 doesn't include fawns (customs may or may not fall under this depending on how out of control it might get) This is to allow artists to not get burned out and will change when more have been added to the team.

4. Can only win two a day.

5.Please do not spam, be rude to staff or others, or argue. What I say or those I ask to mod say goes if I think something is unfair I will step in. If I don't catch it you more then welcome to send a me a note but don't harass people in the public forums

6.There is only six slots for breeding allowed so choose wisely in the future there may be more but until then only six.

7. You may not sell your ICE's and trading must be brought to my attention along with said artist after I have given the go ahead for it. If you are not sure you may let us choose who it gets readopted out too. Also, there may in the future to keep with store some readoption events so keep a look out.

8. Don't beg for slots from the group's herd (they will have more slots yes, but they are more as gifts for those that earn it)

9. Before it gets lost, please keep requests for breeding slots to ims/fanclub/ and possibly streams (last one iffy) and to go with this one after being made whether a starter or breeding will take up to two weeks before being allowed to breed.

10. they may be breed two weeks after being made this applies to both starters and fawns

wip - coming soon

I would co-own but I crashed my own closed species I’m just tempted to make them open and leave them as is. But mine is also too important to me. So I feel that as well. Maybe I could bring them back here and we could co-own eachothers? Maybe us both having a species to part manage would make burn out less likely? Just an option. You can dm me I can send you the species

STAFF COMPENSATION

ALL STAFF MEMBERS earn a custom/myo upon initial hire, flametail only.

- these customs/myos can be gifted to friends, but cannot be sold.
- two months worth of compensation can be exchanged for a statictail.
- - five months worth can be exchanged for a heaventail.

- an active artist is defined by a minimum of three designs per month, nursery included.
- an active moderator and archivist is defined on a case-by-case basis.

Q. the "select all" url code on the mutato oekaki pages, can anyone use it?
A. no, this is only for the winner's use.

Q. am i allowed to add accessories to my mutato?
A. yes, on your own separate reference, but do not under any circumstance edit the mutato animation.

Q. do mutatoes have genders?
A. this is up to the owner. gender is not an important part of this species.

Q. are mutatoes an intelligent species?
A. mutatoes behave like any pet. they have conscious, deliberate thought, and personality quirks.

Q. can mutatoes read? do they have their own language?
A. some can read, but mutatoes don't have a special written or spoken language. instead, they mostly communicate through motion and gestures.

Q. can my mutato be friends with/the pet of my floc?
A. certainly! but.. since both do not have a spoken language.. it might be a bit difficult. the floc can communicate telepathically to the mutato... but it probably wont understand much (similar to human/dog communication).

[center][quote][size=85][b][url=https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=4945372]Lemaire Channel Arabians[/url][/b]; a subspecies of Arabian unlike any other. Compared to their hot-blooded, desert dwelling ancestors, this unique type is cold-blooded and arctic dwelling. Founded in 1976, the Lemaire Arabian was first discovered by an explorer by the name of Levi H. Kavairi, who had been trekking across the unforgiving Antarctic terrain for eight months in search of signs of any new species. He was shocked to find a herd of wild horses wandering around an expanse of frigid water that was nicknamed the Kodak Gap. The explorer was especially surprised however, when he looked closer and saw the herd was in fact a group of Arabians. Considering his exploits of multiple deserts showed that the breed thrived primarily in the hot weather, this was unsual.
 
He reported his findings to the committee, and from there the Lemaire Channel Arabian Foundation (LCAF) was founded. To preserve this brilliant breed, a group of skilled professionals came together in hopes to assist the breed in becoming globally recognized and to expand the population. They succeeded, and now the Lemaire Channel Arabian makes a wonderful companion to any barn. Eye-catching, level-headed, intelligent, and incredibly hardy, the Lemaire Arabian is the perfect all-rounder breed. Capable of competing in any known discipline, they have excellent potential for anything and are an eager to please, easily trainable breed. The breed sports a long, flowing mane and tail that requires consistent maintenance, a coat that, depending on the climate, can range anywhere from thick and wooly to short and glossy. Their strong, hardy hooves make them exceptional mounts for braving the wilderness. Overall, the Lemaire Arabian is a great addition. Will you join this new species and breed your own barn of champions?[/quote]

What is a Kralian?
Kralian is a mix between a crocodile, dragon, and a large breed of dog, and a pinch of fluffyness!
They use to go by the name FCDD but recently they were giving a name for their species. They can grow to about 8-10 ft tall and can grow to being 14 - 17 ft in length which is as long as a salt water crocodile! But recently some have been shorter to about 13 - 16 ft in length, we believe it's because of the climate some live in. Female will always be bigger then the other gender. If it's a hotter climate then they grow longer, colder means their length decrease and their fur grows longer.

They can be found with 3 horns in total on their face, 1 on the nose and 2 on the top by their big fluffy ears. Kralian can breath this colorful smoke and this smoke show as how they are feeling, if the smoke is a brighter shade it means their happy, dark shade means back off they are very mad, and if the smoke turns a dull color it means their upset. Their back legs are bigger and stronger then their fronts, Kralians back legs do have claws too but they can retract them just like how cats do, only coming out when hunting or doing activities such as running or climbing. Giving them a better grip well doing those things.

They can not speak, they communicate by grunts and snarls. They are thought to be able to talk telepathically to one another though it was never confirmed, some say their Kralian speaks to them and that's mostly because once you bonded with a Kralian you bond minds too! But that's a myth, right?

Kralian are carnivore, meaning they only eat meat! But recently we noticed that when ones stomach is upset they are seen eating wild berries off of bushes. Kralian favorite things to hunt are elks and sometimes the bigger predators around in their territory. They don't mature until they are 4 to 15 years of age! During this time the father takes care of the pups and the female goes hunting. They usually have around 1 - 4 pups a litter. When they are first born they don't have claws, they're just a whole ball of fur and cuteness! With eyes that look way to big for their face and a tail that looks to heavy for them to carry along behind them, but they some how manage to do it.

We are unsure where these begins came from but they seem to be tamable, and seem to be able to live with humans cause they have no interest in us, and they seem to make great companions if you have land for them to run around cause they hate to stay inside for long periods. If they're inside for to long they seem to get very bored very easily meaning if you don't want your stuff destroyed make sure they have plenty time to be outside and get rid of their energy! Some people burn these guys energy by riding them around over have them pull things around, they are helpful if you live on a farm! They are big strong beast after all and they don't seem to mind working and helping out!

We believe these begins use to be much bigger back in the older days but them seems to shorten down as time went by and the food the preyed on got smaller, to the average size elk that we have now an days. As time goes by we are still sitting here asking our self,

What are Kralians really?

┎------------- { overall guidelines;; } -------------



➸ Simas are a Closed Species, meaning you cannot make one without permission or a custom ticket.

➸ Simas & items obtained for free in events cannot be sold for USD, C$, CS pets or any form of currency. They may, however, be traded for other Simas and Sima items. It must be confirmed in the Archive update thread before it will be a valid trade.



★ There are instances where a free Sima may have art attached to them which was paid for in USD. Only in this case can a free Sima be sold for money. Permission must be given by the species owner before this can happen.


➸ Sima kits can age after 3 weeks of being created, but cannot breed until 6 weeks after they are created as they grow through adolescence.

➸ Simas can be co-owned by a max of two users and with permission from the staff.

➸ As of right now, you may only own one Special Sima (ex; #50's, #100's, or a runner up of either). You may not be gifted one if you already own one. *Note that there are two users who owned multiple special Simas before this rule was set in place and have been grandfathered in.

➸ Simas may no longer be heavily based off of copyrighted characters. Any existing Sima is not affected by this and won't be forced to be revamped. *However, if you'd rather revamp, pm one of the species owners. (12/16/2019)

➸ This is an LGBT+ friendly community, and any form of harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated.

➸ Be respectful and courteous to the community members around you and our staff. Do not harass or guilt-trip staff if you don't win a competition, and do not track down winners of an adopt to ask for the Sima. Respect goes both ways, so this also includes staff.

➸ If you're a community member who's been around since before May 2018 and weren't aware of our hiatus, and wish to have your Simas in the new archives so that you can use them, please pm corviidae or an available archivist with a list of the Simas you own (with proof of ownership if possible) and a comprehensive list of the items you own with proof. We will not take any items that were neglected to be added to the list, so make sure you have everything together.

➸ If a user doesn't explicitly offer their Sima(s) for breedings or trades, you are not allowed to pm them asking about their Simas in this way or make an effort to publicly track them down if they're inactive.

➸ 'Edit hunting', or trying to specifically trade a Sima of lower tier for a Sima with higher tier edits only is not allowed unless the user explicitly offers the Sima to you in return. You may not also 'hoard' Simas for the sake of trade fodder, as that is not what Simas are meant for. The same goes for items.



★ If a user initiates a trade with you, it is okay to offer lower-tier items/simas for higher tier-- but if they say no, you must respect this answer and not push it unless they ask for more than that.






┗------------- { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ } -------------

┎------------- { sima reference guidelines;; } -------------



➸ Simas must always have a reference without accessories for breeding and archiving purposes.

➸ It is recommended that Sima owners have their Sima references saved in case of our archives being taken down without warning by toyhou.se or DeviantArt, or if the creator of the Sima deletes the original file.

➸ You may draw your own reference for your Sima, however, you must include a list of the edits the Sima has that is different from the main lines-- and the reference must be posted for approval.

➸ All Sima references must have a list of their edits and the rarities of their edits either on the reference or in the description. This includes Main Adopts, Nursery batches, MYOs/Staff Customs and transfers/agings.



┗------------- { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ } -------------

┎------------- { sima limit guidelines;; } -------------



➸ The amount of Simas you can own has no cap, but there are monthly limits.



★ You may only win 4 main adopt Simas per month. Rescuing a Sima has it's own guidelines and you can find it on that thread.

★ You may only obtain 5 Simas through gifting/trading/buying per month.

★ You can obtain only 10 kits per month from the Nursery, so breed wisely. Waiting to keep a kit until the next month rolls over is discouraged, but not illegal. A kit must have a home within a month of being created.


➸ Once you obtain a Sima, you may gift, trade or re-adopt them after a 1-week cooldown. You may breed the Sima after a 2-week cooldown.

➸ Remember, any gifting, trading, re-selling or re-adopting must be approved by a staff member.



┗------------- { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ } -------------

┎------------- { staff guidelines;; } -------------



➸ Artists may not discriminate against members of the community or make biased decisions in adopts. If an artist feels they might make a biased decision on a competition (whether you like or dislike a community member) or if an admin suspects it, another artist should step in to help judge.

➸ When making Join.me games or any thread-related games, you are not allowed to be in any call with members who are participating in the game.

➸ You may not force the Sima you're adopting out (free/paid adopt, an orphan.) to have a certain sexuality or a set way of identifying themselves. It should be up to the contestants trying out for the Sima. Adopts and nursery batches may have a set biological sex but should be fluid to change with a biological sex change item if it's available.

➸ Moderators assist the species owner and co-owners with answering questions, approving MYOs (legendary+ MYOs must also be run with the admins), handing out warnings, and enforcing rules. It is also your responsibility to help admins watch Nursery tickets to ensure the cooldowns are over and to notify the artist taking tickets in case they didn't notice. This also goes for watching tickets if they're taken on DeviantArt and monitoring cooldowns if any Simas are won over on that website.

➸ Nursery Artists have a right to decline tickets if they do not meet our guidelines, or under private circumstances which must be discussed with one of the species owners. Keep in mind the number of times legendary edits/rare edits have been passed by a parent(s) before you roll for it. If you open raffle tickets, do not do it multiple times in a row.

➸ Screensharing is currently allowed when making adopts and nursery batches and suggestions for nursery batches are only allowed in the instances where the artist asks for it. Even in this case, suggestions are to be taken with a grain of salt.

➸ A note: All staff who stayed active and reliable throughout the year will receive a special custom in place of their usual custom in the month of December.


★ The activity of the staff is judged by corviidae, and is a case by case basis.

★ This special custom contains x1 Mythical Edit, x2 Legendary Edits with unlimited rare and below edits. Must be approved by all three of the admins. It cannot be sold at this time and must be relinquished to the owner of the species or have a proper owner confirmed in the case of gifting.

┗------------- { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ } -------------

┎------------- { guest staff guidelines;; } -------------



➸ Guest Artists must get any Sima they create with edits approved by an official artist, mod, or one of the species owners.

➸ Guest Artists should create up to at least a mixture of 10 common/uncommon Simas before you make a Sima with a rare edit. After you make that rare Sima, the amount of common/uncommons you need to make resets.

➸ For all guest staff to earn their keep for the month, guest artists must make at least 6 Simas and guest nursery artists must make at least 6 batches.



★ You earn a MYO with 4 rare edits, unlimited uncommon and common edits, and potentially a permanent position.



➸ Guest Nursery Artists must get their batches approved by an existing Nursery Artist before being posted unless the batch kits have no edits.



┗------------- { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ } -------------



┎------------- { staff earnings;; } -------------



➸ Staff have free reign of the type of competitions they want to create for adopts, but the earnings vary based on their work. The tier of the reward will raise based on how many batches/adopts/agings you do, which is a 3-6-10 rule.



★ -- the lowest tier Staff Custom are x1 MYO with unlimited rare and below edits. Must be approved by the species owner and at least one other co-owner before it becomes an official Sima. Earned after you make 3 adopts/nursery kits/agings per month.

★ -- Medium tier Staff Customs are x1 MYO with 1 legendary edit and unlimited rare and below edits. You must make at least 6 adopts, nursery kits or agings/transfers per month to earn this tier.

★ -- Max tier Staff Customs are x1 MYO with 2 legendary edits and unlimited rare and below edits. You must make at least 10 adopts, nursery kits or agings/transfers per month to earn this tier.

★ Low tier Staff customs may stack after earning them for 3 consecutive months and be redeemed for a custom with x1 Legendary edit. 4 consecutive months can stack for x2 legendary edits total and no more. Old staff customs are grandfathered in and unchanged.

★ Legendary staff customs can go for a max of $15 USD, and unlimited rare staff customs go for a max of $10 USD and no more unless you bought art for the staff custom for USD only and that art comes with the custom. In this case, you need to contact a species owner so we can discuss it.

★ Note: You may purchase x1 legendary edit in the store every 3 months to put on your MYO. Otherwise, you may only purchase uncommon or common MYOs from our DeviantArt shop.



Additional Information

➸ [ Archivists ] - get median tier staff custom monthly for work within the archive.

➸ [ Aging Artists ] -- || 3 agings/transfers -- low tier || 6 agings/transfers - med. tier ||10 agings/transfers -- max tier ||


★ complex edits count as 1 aging/transfer
★ complex designs count as 1 aging/transfer, so one Sima with these criteria could equal 2 agings/transfers
★ credit for work is given if screenshot wips are provided in discord chat with a timestamp but aging isn't finished.

.

➸ [ Nursery Artists ] -- For the month of June, we'll be experimenting with the number of kits instead of the number of batches.

Hey, I'm Rav! A lot of the older members may remember me as Ren. I'm usually active throughout the week but a little spotty on Sundays and Mondays. My nonactive times during the days are 8am - 8pm. Feel free to message me anytime here or on Discord!







┗----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• All CS rules apply, this includes interactions on our discord server.

• Range Trotters are a non-profit closed species. You may use them elsewhere, but please link back to the species adopt to give proper credit. Users may not be added to the adopts they have won, customs ordered or breedings created.

• A storage page must be updated fully in order to request breedings. This includes proper and easy to find links to individual trotters, lineages and slot usage. Sites such as weebly, toy-house, or on-site are acceptable, but deviantart storage is not. There is currently no limit to how many Trotters you may own.

• V1 trotters may be used in breedings in V2, but cannot be used to compete. They must be named and updated with all necessary information mentioned above.

• Items, small edits (ie. horns, cloven hooves, etc.) mane/tail edits are acceptable, but all other edit types, including feathering, lion tails and roman noses, are no longer acceptable in the adopt. Any edits made are subject to pass in breedings via the breeding artist requested, they are not a guarantee. Any larger line edits released will be discussed among the team and done so via an event to ensure an equal opportunity for the community to obtain without charge.

• Transfers from V1 to V2 are not permitted at this time. This may or may not change.

• Custom Range Trotters may be sold for the price they were paid for. The price cannot exceed 500c$, unless in the event artwork has been made for the Trotter. If discussing USD sales, they must be taken offsite per CS rules. All artists have their own prices for customs, and it is expected to abide by their individual rules. Updated!

• Pet and Item worth is taken into account for C$ value! If you’re unsure, please check with the appropriate forum for pet or item worth.

• Free Adopts cannot be sold for currency! You did not pay for them, they cannot be purchased for C$, pets or items, or real currency. They can be traded for other trotters, breeding slots, or outside adopts (if rules permit.)

• Please do not bump adopts for the purpose of updating images, or completing unjudged adopts. I, HowlingHooves, tries to go through periodically to have things updated but if it has been more run 30 days since the end date or judge date, please contact me for a status update.

• All official documentation regarding Range Trotters must be made on-site via PMs with admin and/or archivists. If it is not done so, information is subject to be lost and/or not received by all parties. To avoid confusion, please be sure you are sending PMs to the proper parties! Permissions, questions or comments are the exception and can be made elsewhere.

• When transferring ownership of Range Trotters, the former owner and the new owner must post on the page stating the transfer has been made. The former owner must also post on the trade archive thread with the form stating who is receiving and how the trade was completed. (ie. slot trades, full trotter trade, pet trade, etc.)

• In the event of a site ban, all owned trotters are subject to revocation and redistribution among the community. Creating artists are given the option to adopt first, and any others will be readopted out via raffles. All site-banned users are permitted a grace period of two months before this will be done.

• In the event of a species ban, any owned trotters that were not received from V1, Auctions, or Paid Imports will be revoked from the banned user. They will then be redistributed via raffle throughout the community in our discord server.

• Rules are subject to addition, alteration or removal at any given time.


• All trotters have five breeding slots. V1 trotters may still breed if they have available slots.

• All horses must be named, have a halter and have a fully up to date storage in order to breed. A warning will be given to users who abuse this on multiple occasions. This includes V1 trotters, if they are being used for breeding purposes.

• Foals grow in 14 days from their post date. If a growth has not been posted for 30 days after the growth date, please contact HowlingHooves directly via PM on-site.

• Breedings are limited to 6 per community member! However, Wild Dog Overo breedings can only be ordered twice a month per user, with both breedings being created by different artists. Artists do not have a monthly limit.

• Artists are encouraged to order breedings from others, but may create personal breedings. Rolling is preferred to be done by another staff member.

• Any edits on parents are not guaranteed to pass to offspring. This decision is up to the breeding artist, and edits should not be requested to pass in forms. Edits must follow the above guidelines, regardless of whether the trotters are from V1 or V2.

• Dyed manes and/or tails cannot pass to offspring. Colored hair is created via customs, and as such foals should not have colored hair.

• Rules are subject to addition, alteration or removal at any given time.


• Artists are encouraged to try to make one adopt per month. This does not include customs or breedings.

• In order to open customs, one free adopt and one other freely obtained trotter should be made per batch opening. This can be a breeding or adopt, or an event related trotter. This is non-negotiable as of implementation May 1st, 2022. Updated!

• New staff may only create a custom hub after three months of active service. This activity will be counted as adopts, not breedings. new!

• New staff may only be added to the Auction Block after three months of active service. This activity will be counted as adopts, not breedings. new!

• Artists may make a personal custom once per month. These do not roll over into future months,
but a previous months custom can be created up until the 4th of each month.

• Please try to keep genetics correct. If you have questions, don't ever be afraid to ask. Chances are someone else may be
struggling with the same thing, and it will benefit everyone in the long run. ♥

• Please try to keep rare markings less common. There is no official ratio to follow, but as a rule of thumb most adopts made should more often be common-uncommon with some rare traits seen as well. Limited markings should be restricted to imports, events or special release numbers.

[size=85][center][quote]Range Trotters are the result of crossbreeding Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Welsh Cobs (section C & D) and Hanoverians. Later crosses of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosas to gain color and to give a boost to their hardiness.With a height average of 13-15 hands, they're a hardy breed with characteristics for various disciplines.

Created for use as work, carriage and leisure riding horses originally, they now serve as long-distance range horses, such as work with Park Rangers and mounted officers.

Willing and eager personalities, most are quickly trained to be bombproof and therefore trusted mounts in all lines of work; some are being seen in local show jumping competitions, others are notably used in therapeutic sessions for their calm temperaments. Harness races and endurance trials are common for the breed, as they are able to sustain an extended trot without tire. Cross-Country competitions see some of the taller Trotters, but due to their cob lineage this is still uncommon.

Despite the variety of competitions and work these horses are being seen in, they are still famously skilled as endurance racers. Many competitors have chosen Range Trotters due to their tireless work ethic, as well as the ease in which they can be trained. Many have become champions in endurance trials, and they have quickly become a sought after breed for their natural ability.[/quote][/center]

Unlike other adopt species, ghost staff listed here are a group of members who are not restricted by the adopts per month quota.
These positions were reserved for individuals who had helped with the creation of the current version of Range Trotters,
or were offered the position for their assistance current or previous.
These members are considered full-time benefit artists.
These positions are not open to other artists or staff on the team.

Thanks for Taxidea for these stamps! ♥

The NRTrA has a special shop just for members!
They offer a few items that will give their horse the chance to participate in their hosted shows, as well as some boosters in regards to breeding.

They accept a form of currency called Honorable Mentions, or HMs.
Artists can give out HMs to users in any adopt they host, with the exception of FCFS or Raffle types, to users they feel are deserving. These are usually based on a personal liking for any form(s) that did not win the adopt, and so tastes will vary among the artist team when they do give out HMs.
There is no limit to how many HMs any user can win, but artists should only award a max of three users per regular adopt.
Special adopts may have two HMs awarded per user, but only a max of three users may be given HMs. Special adopts are only posted every 500 numbers.

The shop has a full inventory, standard items will never cycle in or out of stock.
Some items, however, may only be won or purchased from special events! These items will not be available after the event has ended. Some items will always be available even after an event has ended, however.

To purchase any items, please be sure to double check your current HM stock.
If you have enough for the item in question, just send a PM or a DM to HowlingHooves asking to purchase the item.

Inventories & Shop

Please be aware that the HM inventory is not updated immediately!
It is done on a monthly basis, usually mid-month, and so you may not see all HMs tagged under your name.
An update date is posted on both the HM and Item inventory sheets, but if you have won other HMs after that date and would like to use them please provide a link back to the post awarding the HM.
Items won from events will be added to inventories after the event has ended. If these items are used during the event, no need to worry! I've got it marked down as used if this is done.
Please do not send messages about updating item inventories if items are awarded from the competition threads!
I have a system to adding competition items, and these will not be added until full updates are made time for.
Thank you!

Rules!!

Species Rules

➥ All Cuddlebug content needs to follow CS rules.
➥ Cuddlebugs may not be made outside of events, without MYOs, or without being purchased/won.
➥ Do not harass, guilt-trip, or bully members or staff.
➥ Be respectful of everyone, please!!
➥ Please keep it light!! No super heavy themes OOC.


➥ You may trade Cuddlebugs for other CBs, in-game items, C$, CS Pets/Items, or IRL Currency. We cannot monitor these trades if they're not using our currencies or items, however, so be wary. All trades must be conducted through the proper threads using the rules there so we can change the archives.
➥ You may also gift your Cuddlebug to other users or purchase a Cuddlebug for someone else. Please do not enter freebie competitions/raffles on the behalf of other users, however.
➥ If you'd like to reraffle/giveaway your items or Cuddlebugs (either because you've lost interest or for whatever other reason) let us know! We will not revoke your stuff otherwise, even if you're banned from CS or the species.
➥ You may move your Cuddlebug out of species but must take it off species lines and we'd prefer you remove species-specific traits.
➥ Please don't resell Cuddlebugs for more in value (however you purchased them) than what you bought them for.
