Whew, finally back from vacation, so lets get some stuff done :U

Questions;;

Could I be added into general knowledge as well? I thought I had put there, but apparently not :s

I've already been added to the list and stuff, but can I add myself to other categories? Like, I might try out for role-playing, and add myself to BBCode if permitted. c:


To both of you, this is answered in the Adopter FAQ ^_^



What if I want to be in more categories later on?
The categories you apply for a final. If you want to be in more categories you will have to wait to apply again after getting a newbie. We won't keep adding you to new categories.

Username: ditzyunicorn
What areas do you want explained?: I basically want like an overall "walkthrough" of the site, with tips included (on how to carry myself through the site, what is there to do, how do I make friends, etc.)
Do you speak another language, and if so which one?: I speak English as a first language but I speak Polish, French, Spanish and Chinese as well (just in case there's an issue).
How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: I had seen it a while back and had never made an account. Just recently my friend who's obsessed with it told me about it and I decided I'd make an account this time. She isn't very good at explaining and she told me herself she doesn't use this site to it's full potential, so she can't show me around.
What do you like best so far?: I really love the designs on all the adoptables! They're all so unique and creative and so freaking gorgeous!
Any questions?: When can I start?


You can start as soon as your adopter PM's you! C:

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: On a DeviantArt account
What do you like best so far?: the art and pets and certain forums
Any questions?: I've only been on CS for a few months but I haven't been very active on it much to learn how things work and recently there was the summer event which I had no idea about it until a several days before it ended, so I'm curious as to want to know about the events.


Events on Chicken Smoothie usually happen at a set time (eg; main events like Halloween, Christmas, Easter), but there are also events that can happen between those, like the Summer event you just missed. There will usually be a warning or some kind of announcement on the front page telling you about the event start/end, so you just have to keep checking the announcement once an event is near ^^

Hello!
If you want to post a picture of your own pet, simply go to your pet's page(by clicking "My pets" at the top and clicking the pet when you find it). There should be two code boxes to copy and paste. Copy the one on the right, the forum code. Paste it wherever you'd like and it'll show up as an image when you post it!

If you want to post a picture of a pet from the archive, find it first. Right cock the image and copy the image's URL. Paste it and put image tags around it.
For example, I want to post an image of this dog from the archive:

I would right clock the image and get it's URL:
http://static.chickensmoothie.com/archive/image.php?k=2A4AB8A6CDE2BEE3B2402706701CAD2D&bg=aca5ae
then, I would simply put the img tags around it. And asy way to do so is to highlight the URL and click the "Img" button above the typing field.
before you submit, this is what it should look like:
[img.]http://static.chickensmoothie.com/archive/image.php?k=2A4AB8A6CDE2BEE3B2402706701CAD2D&bg=aca5ae[/img]
When you post ti, it will show up as an image!

Posting is pretty simple. You posted when you filled out your form! It is as simple as going to a topic, clicking "Post Reply", and typing something(relevant to the topic of the thread, of course ). When you're done. hit "Submit" and you're done!
PMing is similar to posting, except it is done in private between 2-6 people including yourself. To PM a member, find their profile and click "Send private message" right above the signature. You will be sent to a page very similar to the reply page in the forums. All you have to do is type in a subject, and type your message. Hit "Submit" and wait for a reply!

The search feature is a very useful one. For example, I want to suggest a Private colorables section for the oekaki on This Forum. To check if the idea has already been suggested, you type keywords into the search bar next to the big "New Topic" Button. The keywords I would type in would be "Private" and "colorables", because those are two important words for my suggestion. When I hit "Search, [urlhttp://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/search.php?keywords=Private+colorables&fid%5B0%5D=6]I can see that someone already suggested this somewhere in the forum.[/url] I can no longer suggest it again because it would be spam.
You can similarly use the search function to do stuff like find certain topics in a forum, or find certain discussions within a thread.

Onto the next question.
All threads have a certain amount of posts per page, right? The same can be said for Forums. Each Forum can have a certain amount of threads per page. This means that when new topics are made, they will be bumped down a spot, until they are bumped onto the next page. When people talk about "front page of forums", they are referring to Page 1 of the forum. Usually they tell you this so you do not "Bump" your topic until i falls off of this first page, because as long as it is on the first page, people can easily access your topic without going through pages.

Getting people to see your topic posts is a matter of how many people browse certain threads you post on. If you are adding onto a discussion, people may respond to you, or they may add on further. It doesn't mean they haven't seen your posts, they just chose not to quote/respond to it.
If you are posting on a thread like this one where tou need to fill out a form, it may take a little bit of time until the thread mods see your form and accept/decline it. So really, people will /see/ your posts, but they might not always acknowledge them and respond.

My last newbie, doesn't PM me anymore so I believe they are all good now!



Roleplay Sample:
Arabella paced around camp looking for something to keep her busy, she was very interested in going on a hunt but would rather not go alone. She thought of taking a nap, considering it more now but decided against it, she wasn't in the mood nor was she tired really. Yawning softly, Arabella shook herself and lay down deciding what to do. She could go out alone, but if she found anything good without enough wolves what could she do? Watch while the prey disappears because she went alone, unable to catch anything too large which she doubted she would find, but the chance was there. She waited for anyone, or anything to pop up and talk to her or find something to do.

[from grey skies and white grounds rp]
Hopefully thats long enough? If not I'll add some more to it uvu



That sample is fine, accepted c:

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?:
Whether I should or not in is in the eyes of the moderators/judges, thought I personally believe that I should because I enjoy helping out members. I believe that they deserve a hand with at least the basics of CS, as the site can seem a bit intimidating if you don't know your way around. I enjoy giving advice on a number of subjects, and actually tried helping a few from the "Newest Member" tag at the bottom of the forums page, (though I don't believe many of them appreciated it ) giving them tips on adopting and trading, etc.. Whenever my friend joined, I showed her around a bit as well, explaining where the buttons were for several things, mainly to do with private messages. I also have been a member for just over two years, and understand various aspects of the site to some extent.

How often do you get on CS?:
Several times a week. During breaks from school, I can get online at least once a day for an hour or more. During the school year (which begins August 15 this year; from roughly 6:30-3:30 CST Monday-Friday (not counting time spent after school on various activities.).), I try to log in at least once a day for either half an hour or an hour, though it may be every other day or so.

Which categories would you like to apply for?:


• General Knowledge
  
• Forums
• BB Code
• Roleplaying (Example below form- While many of my posts are not this long, they all run about the same quality, which I would run at about semi-literate. However, the length is dependent also on the others that I'm roleplaying with; if their posts run longer and more descriptive, mine as well do as I have more to work with.)
• Trading and Pets


How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?:
I would say about an hour, on average. Of course, the time can vary from either more or less, but at the very least 30 minutes. Usually, though, it is for more, especially on the weekends.

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:
Of course! I can say that finding someone kind or that is willing to help, can be difficult. Though I may not be the most qualified for the job, I do promise that regardless I will answer any and all questions that I can for them, and do so with a smile each time. ^^





Roleplaying Example:


♥♣♦♠__♠♦♣♥
~αℓιcє~
σн тнє gαмєѕ ωє ρℓαу...
mood- uneasy, defeated, and sad
with- Blizzard
doing- speaking with Blizzard
feeling- pain; defensive, defeat
status- single; no crush
...тнєу ωιℓℓ нανє уσυя нєα∂
♥♣♦♠__♠♦♣♥

She turned to him, growling loudly again. She put her leg down down, covering the bottoms of her feet. "A few scrapes on my under paws," she spat, anger once again dragging her from exhaustion. She glared at him, her blue eyes now looking directly into his amber ones. "I got them all today while looking for your packs' pups. Though I can see when my offer of help isn't appreciated." She kept her paws planted firmly in the ground, so he couldn't see that they were much more than scrapes. Her broken leg, luckily to her, had no outer signs of injury, and couldn't be detected unless someone felt it and messed with the bone. There was not a way in the world she would let this brute mess with her; perhaps a healer could, if the pack had one. She ignored his show of dominance, her tail out straight behind her. She kept it behind her rather than in the air, and held her right front leg in place without obviously putting no weight on it.
If she was trying to seem like she wasn't infected, she was terrible job of it. This brute most likely thought she was rabid, and would chase her out to half across the earth. She closed her eyes and let her head down in one motion, her ears laying against her skull. She dropped her tail an fell onto her haunches, her tail laying loosely on the ground behind her. She lifted her head a bit to look at him, her eyes filled with sadness and defeat. Her paw raised from the ground to the space in front of her, and she turned it so her paw pad was showing. It was torn incredibly, with pieces of it too the point where they could be pulled back to reveal the innards. Each of her paw pads were this way, and the right leg which she held out was broken with the bone sides starting to shift away from each other. They were still in place enough to look straight, though the break that ran across the width of the bone gave off pain she'd never felt, and moving the leg uncradled into the air brought the weight of gravity on it and only made it feel worse. She gave in to the urge to ran away with her tail between her legs and sat still, waiting for the brute to look at her injuries and discover her leg.
"My paws have each been like this since earlier today. I was running through the mud and didn't see all of the sharp things and be able to avoid them. And my leg has hurt since earlier as well, though I don't know what from. I fear it may be broken but I don't know what from." Her voice was soft, not with anger as it had been before. It was now filled with either fear, sadness, defeat, or a mix.

When the male called out to her, she stopped and turned her head to look at him. Once he spoke his name she smiled and nodded her head. "Nice to meet you, however, the situations are awkward. We will have to properly meet when you are healed, or at the very least, in the morning .. if you feel better." She then exited the room with a smiled on her face. Latching the door in place, she looked around her living room and let out a muffled sigh. She didn't know what to do and she wasn't much a sleeper with the war going on. She considered bathing and decided it was best to wait until morning, since it was already dark out. Looking back at the closed door behind her, she considered another thought but shook it off. Walking out of the living room she made her way to her bed room in the dark. When she made it, she opened the door and looked around the dimly lit room. She had forgotten to blow out the candle and was thankful it was there.

Walking to her closet, she pulled out a night gown and then made her way towards her bed. Stripping of the blood stained dress she was wearing, she slid on the night gown and then took the time to braid her hair. Now finished, she tied it off with a blue ribbon and smiled. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the bags under her eyes and frowned. She most definitely had not been getting enough sleep since the war. Shaking off the feeling she blew out the almost melted candle and lit another one. Carrying the freshly lit candle into the kitchen she grabbed a cloth and some medicine. May as well keep herself busy, she thought. Turning, she noticed her dinner she never ate and let out a grunt. Putting everything else on the counter, she sat down at the table, picked up a fork and then begin eating. She savored the taste of the now almost cold meat and closed her eyes. When it was gone she moved to the grapes she had on her plate and then finished with the bread ignoring the strawberries. Once she was done, she took some of the water from a large bowl beside her and rinsed off the plate and utensils. She then took a cup and scooped some of the water into it before taking the medicine and the cloth with her to the guest room.

When she was in the bedroom she took the time to look at the male and noticed that the he was fast asleep, however she also noticed the sweat that dappled his forehead. Frowning she took the cloth and dipped it into the water making it boarder line soaking. Wringing out some of it she pressed it to the males forehead and then to his cheeks, temple, and lastly his chin. She took the time to wipe off the dirt and blood before she dipped the towel back into the cup. With the towel now dirty, she exited the room and retrieved two more before returning. Dipping one into the cup again, she wrung it out like the first and then pressed it to the males forehead. She then turned her attention the his wounds taking the bandage off. The frown on her face lifted when she realized it was healing properly. After she cleaned up the wound she put on more medicine and then wrapped it up once again. Sitting down in a chair beside the bed she looked at the male for a long time, studying him. She put him at not much older then she was, probably late twenties. Resting her arm on the arm rest, she continued to study him but it was not long before she drifted off.

Username: CrimsonWolfTail

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?:
How often do you get on CS?: I am available on CS between the hours of 11 AM and 3 AM EDT. This time scale is prone to fluctuation. Basically, I am on as much as possible.

Which categories would you like to apply for?: I want to apply for them all: Languages, General Knowledge, Forum, BBCode, Roleplaying, Oekaki, Trading and Pets, Rarities, Rares List.

How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: I am online approximately 15 hours a day (collectively). This may fluctuate, being between 5 if I'm busy and 24 if I can't sleep.

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: I do.

Qualifications:
- Languages: Ich weiß auch Deutsch. [I also know German.]
- Roleplay: See below. It came from here. I'm not sure if it requires a login. It's a species roleplay; a Virosa is basically a large wolf.
- Oekaki: I understand that I do not have two drawings. I currently have three incomplete, unsubmitted drawings, however. I can prove this, of course. I know how to use the program as well, both the old and new versions.

Naturally, animals' eyes had the ability to adjust to darker environments. The wolves call this night vision, of course. However, the more that the large Virosa stared at the starry sky, the more stars he could see at his zenith and trees he could see at the horizon. He would periodically look down from the sky and around himself in order to rest his neck temporarily. The brute would then look back up at the stars with just as much fascination. The Virosa knew that he loved dark and cloudy skies, but he forgot just how much he loved dark and clear skies.

At first, his senses were keen. He had allowed his nose to pick up anything that drifted his way and his ears to twitch toward anything that dared to produce a noise. After a while, however, he faded into concentration and let his subconscious deal with the physical world. He pointed his nose at the sky, slowly moving it as if following the flow of the white streak. The whiteness appeared to move along the sky like a river. It was equally serene and calming, especially with the pleasant brook-like trickling of the actual river. The white stream of milk...perhaps whatever gods existed drank from it...

He was in a field much like the Plains of Sol. It looked a bit morbid, however: the grass had withered, and the dirt had hardened. The sky was still blue, but nothing else about the scenery appeared lively. He looked down at his paws, patting them on the dead, thorny plant beneath them. He then looked up again and flinched in shock from what he saw. A beautiful figure, a wolf of white fur and perfect proportion, stood...or perhaps walked, just slowly. She had no horns or mutations, so she must have not been a Virosa. She was at a distance, but he could still smell her...feel her... The Virosa felt calm and pleasant just by looking at her. What...what is this? he thought as he began to develop fear. Who are you? The white wolf had just approached close enough to expose markings on her pelt. He could not make them out. He felt a feeling of shame from the other wolf as she certainly stopped moving.

"Hello..."

The wolf flinched and opened his eyes. He saw the starry sky once again. He was only dreaming. The unnatural dream made him want to think more about it. Yet, he thought he had heard another voice. He slowly looked down to his left and saw another wolf. To her, he likely appeared as a large wolf-like silhouette with great antlers, as that was what he was. To him, the other Virosa appeared as a smaller wolf with straight horns. He could smell her a little at that distance. He could hardly tell from their spacing that she was a Midwife. He had not officially met the wolf, so he knew nothing about her.

The Virosa was not very talented at remembering names. Yet, he could remember this wolf's name; it matched something he loved dearly. "Are you Stormy, the Midwife?" he asked quietly, his voice somewhat deep. He kept his gaze on her, remaining in his position since he had no reason to fear this wolf, assuming that she was indeed Stormy.
