    Why should you be able to adopt a newbie? I have been a member of Chickensmoothie for 4 years now, and I know the basic ropes of the game and more. I can be found helping out around the forums, especially in the rarity threads, and have proven myself to be knowledgable. I have adopted 2 newbies from Adopt A Newbie and am pretty experienced with explaining things to newbies, whether they be 'my' newbie, someone else's newbie, or a newbie that hasn't signed up for AAN. I believe I will be able to help my newbie to the best of my abilities. ^_^
    How often do you get on CS? 7 days a week.
    Which categories would you like to apply for? Rarities, Rares List, General Knowledge, Forums, Trading & Pets, and BBC Code.
    How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on? 4 hours on weekdays, and around 6-8 hours on weekends.
    Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times? Of course, I wouldn't applying otherwise. ^_^

Yes, I have already filled out an Adopters form, and I'm interested in applying for all except for Trading and Pets, Rares List, and BBCode. I speak quite a bit of Spanish.


You're interested in adopting another newbie, am I right?
If so, you'll have to fill another form - just make sure to include all of the categories you have chosen to do. c:

Did you fill out your form when the old list was still up? If so, noleah should PM you when she can, and then you'll be able to tell her what categories you would like to be included in.

If you didn't fill out your form when the old list was up or you were assigned a newbie and just came back now to get another one, then you'll have to fill out a new form. ^_^

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I love helping people. I was once a newbie, well everyone was, and I had a really hard time learning everything. A lot of people didn't answer the one or two questions I asked them, and that was very frusturating for me. I wouldn't want anyone else to have a hard time with anything.
How often do you get on CS?: Almost everyday after school.
Which categories would you like to apply for?: Forums, roleplaying, trading and pets, and rarities.
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: 
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:  On weekdays 4-5 hours. On weekends 6-7 hours.

Harsh sunlight hit Aiden's eyes as he opened them sleepily. Last night, he had hadn't gone to bed until after 3:00 A.M. He wasn't used to going to bed late, and it didn't agree with him at all. Standing up, he saw his phone on the floor was lit up. One New Message. As he picked it up, he pressed the on button at the same time. It was a message from November. Just saying hi he noticed. Quickly typing a reply, he walked out of his room.
Not sure where he planned on going, he grabbed his truck keys. His parents weren't home, they wouldn't care anyway. When he was done texting November, he shoved his phone in his front pocket and headed out the door. The sunlight made him wince, his eyes still weren't adjusted to the light. He unlocked his Ford truck, and slid into the front seat. Everything was still the same from last night, nothing had changed. That party had been crazy he noted as he pulled out of the now empty driveway.

Drazco was slinking through he brush, his teeth glinting in the light, even though it was a cloudy moonhigh. Fire danced on the trees as he padded on. Foxes flanked him on either side, their claw scarping the earth. A big white fox leaped down from the trees, his tough pads breaking his fall. There was something in his eyes, Drazco could see, that made it appear the fall hadn't been as smooth as he was making it seem. A flaming branch was clunched in his jaws. "Go ahead," Drazco growled. "I want all the treetops blazing by the time we attack the camps."
"Is Foxbreath ready for the attack?" The white brute asked.
Drazco nodded. "He's making sure his Clan doesn't suspect a thing. He's covering up the missteps," He looked pointedly at Occasus, poison in his voice. The she-fox looked back at him blankly, though there was a pain-filled glint in her eyes, mixed with a deadly fear. "Of scent we left in their territory."

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: Because I have a general knowledge about most things on CS, aside from Languages and a few things on Oekaki. I enjoy helping people, and remember the frustration and some struggles of when I was a Newbie as well. I'm tired of people thinking they can just con Newbies out of everything, and I want to help to try and stop it. I'm not trying to kiss up and try to get a Newbie, I'm honestly tired of it.
How often do you get on CS?: Recently, it was about once a week, but I am getting more active, so about a few times a week(2-10) for about at least 20-45 minutes each.
Which categories would you like to apply for?: Forums, Roleplaying, Trading and Pets, and Rarities/Dates.
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: My estimate of how much time I spend on CS each day would have been(A few weeks ago) about 45 minutes a day. But, Now, It is around 1 hour- 3 hours a day.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: I solemnly swear to be helpful and polite to my Newbie(If I so happen to get one) at all times.

Username: Fallen_Vampress
Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I have been playing on this site since 2008 . I have helped/ gifted many newbees tons of pets just to get them started because I know what its like to start out with only the months pets and nothing else. I also know what its like to be scamed out of all your new pets for a few commons from the month befor . I would love to help new players learn how CS works that way maybe there will be a few less inactive accounts flying around CS because they couldn't grasp how to play or didn't have the help they needed when they started and gave up.
How often do you get on CS?:I am normaly on CS at least once a day if not 5 or 6 times a day .
Which categories would you like to apply for?:
General Knowledge I know Quite a bit about CS and how to navigate most all of the site.
Forums I post on many of the forums including auctions, trades , chickensmoothie chat , rare list guides , is it fair guides , I advidly check my trades to make sure they are all fair on both ends because I dont like to be scamed or scam others .
Trading and Pets I trade most every day .
~Rarities I know how to navagate most rarities in the site except some of the rare list pets just because the demand always changes.
Rares List I know most all the advant trades and what you would need to get one of them .
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?:This question would depend on where im at and if my daughter is asleep but normaly more then 8 hours a day if I can
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: I would love to help them in any ways i possibly can

I know its not on here but I would like to tell you a little about myself . I am Fallen_Vampress aka Fallen I love to trade as much as I possibly can and love gifting pets even more . At the moment I am helping a newbee reach a crazy goal they set of getting 10000 glow dogs . I have gotten her around 500 so far and am tradeing everyday to help her make her goal . I have given away many pets including advants rare list and september list to people just because they are there dream pet and I figure they want them more then I do . I am a very kind and friendly player and try to help in any way i possibly can . I love that you came up with this idea it should have been thought of long ago . Other then that my spelling might suck (im dislexic ) and I love goofing off but I help in anyways possible ...

I hope i did this right and would love to help in any ways possible if i did something wrong please let me know and I will be more then happy to fix it .
Major dream pets.
A sundog and a moon swirl.

Every dream is only a dream. It up to the dreamer what they dream.

Hey everyone, my name's Chess!

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?:
Well, there are plenty of good people on CS that should be able to adopt a newbie, but I think I should be able to adopt a newbie as I've been on ChickenSmoothie since May 2009, so I have a lot of experience with all aspects of the site. I'm a friendly and approachable user that is good at explaining things no matter how simple or complex they are. I don't patronize users or make them feel judged when asking a question, so they aren't afraid to ask me, as I'd hate to think someone was suffering in silence. I also understand that even though we have many mods, the forums are complicated and hard to get around, so I'd like to help all users enjoy the full potential of CS, as I didn't understand the forums for a whole year of my CS life, so I didn't venture into them.

How often do you get on CS?:
Everyday. c:

Which categories would you like to apply for?:
I'd like to apply for the following categories;
-BB Code
-Trading & Pets
-Forums
-Rarities
-Rares List {I would assume this & Rarities are included in trading and pets c:}

How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?:
I'd say around an average of 5/6 hours a day. On days where I'm not at school, about 8/9.

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:
Of course I would be! I'd hate to think anybody here would treat them any other way.

Thanks c:
