Why don't we stop asking when they'll be released? Its bond to get annoying for apple. As a designer myself i find that being asked and bugged puts pressure on me and ruins the fun of designing. Just my take on it. ^^; I am not trying to start a fight or be rude or anything.

Yes, thank you. Exactly how I am feeling.

As of now I'm not going to warn you all ahead of time like I did today. I will only post when I begin designing and when I end each day. Its really stressful for you guys to be asking me to change my schedual. I have strict parents when it comes to my chores and schoolwork, so I cant just get on and design when its most convenient for you.
I would appreciate it if you all stopped spamming about my times and just be patient. And please dont take the bubbles quite so seriously? Many of you are saying you are getting sick/sicker for waiting for these, I really dont want that. I want this to be a fun little event, nothing to vomit over.

And 20 will be announced when I can get on the computer and make the transparent image for the winner.

Sorry Apple <3 I never meant it to be that way. Just as suggestion xD
I understand your pain as I have been in adoptable's myself and its hard. We should be more grateful for what you can work with and not push our boundaries. Won't happen again lovely!!

~Thanks for the gift Apple<3
Have a happy holidays <3

Many of you are saying you are getting sick/sicker for waiting for these, I really dont want that. I want this to be a fun little event, nothing to vomit over.

Don't worry about me in particular, just everybody else. xD
I stayed up last night talking to my best friend on Facebook, and you didn't make any. So it's nothing to blame yourself over, it was my choice to stay up late. ^^
I do admit that I should of gotten to bed sooner, but I'm feeling much better now c:

But I do agree, anyone else who is staying up just to win these should get to bed. I hate seeing other people sick, let alone over something online. School/jobs are much more important, wouldn't you rather have a great future yourself than doing bad in school and having that bad grade follow you for the rest of your life?

And apple, I have another question. Are the eye colors of the bubble kias on the palettes? You said they weren't the bottoms, but are they in the palette or on the design?

[wyrdwurm]

I have only said mark I believe on here but I would like to remind people a couple things.

These are designs, they are not real animals, your life doesn't depend on it, nor does your social status. Kia's are great and all but remember. 1. You don't need it. 2. No one should have to change their life for a bunch of strangers 3. There are plenty other events and adopts gong on at this time besides the Bubbles. If you want to fill up your down time and make other groups feel special as well. Though I am trying for the bubbles myself I am also looking around at all the other events happening, spreading out a bit may help some of you.

And remember you missing out gives another just as deserving a chance, so don't see it as you loosing but more as you opening a spot for another ^^

Due to the fact that despite many notices from the staff to stop, we are going to have to start handing out warnings and possibly strikes for spam.
It is getting ridiculous.

Also please note that none of these are meant to single anyone out. The only reason this post is necessary is that all of these things have occurred more than 3 times and I guess you all need a little reminder. c;

What does not count as spam:
• Marking the thread
• Asking a legitimate and logical question (NOT "is apple awake?" "apple are you working on any?") I am tired of these questions spamming up the thread.
• Something that actually is a decent concern/opinion to bring up that hasn't been discussed before (Does not count page limit suggestions, complaints about so many young/PPS, etc) Those have been discussed and we are tired of hearing it.

What counts as spam:
• Useless comments like "Good morning/good night" "I love bubble 3!!"
• Complaints/statements about how the bubbles go so fast, you want one so bad, etc etc.
• Questions like "Can you make less PPS?" "Are you working on one apple?"
• Suggestions for designs (I know this was allowed before but i dont need them anymore, its annoying now)
• Mini-modding

And other things that will be discussed by the staff before deciding if spam or not.

Also! Bribing is not tolerated whatsoever. Trying to get me to pity you in some way is NOT the way to win a kiamara. In fact it makes me want to choose you less, because you feel the need to make me want you to win instead of trying your hardest. Even if something really truely has happened to you that is not good in your life, it is not at all acceptable to try to use that to get a pity vote.

Thanks everyone, and I really am sorry its had to come to this. I wanted this to be a very carefree and enjoyable event, but its just gotten too spammy.

If you have questions/comments regarding this post please PM me instead of replying here. I dont want to see a bunch of comments basically restating what I've said like "Yeah, this really has become too spammy" or anything like that.

Just quoting you here, Apple, since it's been over 7 pages, and people seem to be forgetting this. Hopefully this will help things a little. ^^

Guys, honestly here, these bubble things were meant for fun. Not for harassment, not for guilt tripping, not for spam. Please, on behalf of all of us, just stop. Unless you are here to post a genuine question, such as, though not limited to:

Hey apple, what does x rule mean?
Hey apple, what does y mean?
What did you mean when you posted z?
How do I win one?

Please, please, please, truly refrain from doing the following:

If I don't win one I will x!
Please please give me one!
X just happened so I need a bubble kia!
Apple judge bubble #x right now!
Are you judging z?
Are you putting out more?
Mini modding in any form

If you want to bookmark, there is this button located at the bottom of the page.

If you have a similar question as the one listed above, you may post. If it does not concern that, please try to keep it to yourself. If you need to vent about some things kia related, try:

PMing a friend
If you have no one to talk to, please by all means feel free to PM me telling me how much you want to win one!
Posting on the fanclub
Though, please read the rules and try not to spam there.
Or even...
Check the main page for adopts.
While we have just hit our cap before #400, there are a few kiamaras still open for trying. If you are unsure which ones are up for adoption, please feel free to message me.

Please keep in mind this applies to it all, this forum and the singular adoption ones.

In addition to this, it is now set in place that if you post ANY kind of spam, once so ever you will NOT be allowed to win a bubble kia.

I will make a list, and every user that spams in any way will be put on it. Do not try and 'sneak' your way into winning one, as, even if you post a form Apple will make sure that you are not chosen as the winner if you are on the list.

Text was made obnoxiously huge and brightly colored, due to the fact that it appears many of you do not check before posting. Please guys, I get you are excited but you don't need to spam. Thank you.

I have a real question...
If these are unnumbered are they going to be in the archives?
Will they count on our Kia limits?
Thanks
~Hybrid;;

[sheepsorrel]

Hybrid, I can't answer all your questions, but i can for one. Yes. they count in your kia limit because after they 'hatch', they are normal kias.

[geotalon]

I have a real question...
If these are unnumbered are they going to be in the archives?
Will they count on our Kia limits?

~Hybrid;;

Yes, they will be linked in the archives under a different "set" instead of the main adopts numbers.
They do, indeed, count to part of your limit.
