Introduction

Postby melody. » Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:05 pm

Welcome to the wonderful world of gum balls! So, what the heck are these creatures?
Gum balls are tiny little animals that are ‘hatched’ from, as you might have guessed, gum balls! Although what’s more accurate is that instead of hatching, they actually sleep until a gumball is removed from the machine, and then they eat their gum to escape and see the world!
They’re very small, and only fit in the palm of your hand. Gum balls are not only animals you see every day- some special gum balls can also hide mythical creatures! These are a bit harder to find though, so you might be searching a while.

There are quite a few different species of gum balls for you to discover! Below is a record of what we have discovered so far.

Adoptions

Postby melody. » Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:06 pm

This is the gum ball machine!
Image

You can adopt one gum ball per litter, and new litters will be released on Wednesdays. There are several ways to adopt a gum ball: raffle (random generator), fcfs (first come first served) and contest (my choice). What type of adoption it is will be specified each time.
Gum balls will either be an already discovered species or you might be lucky enough to adopt a brand new creature! At this stage there is no way to tell what animal is in their little gum ball.

Current gum balls: Raffle

If you don’t have tokens for the machine, how are you going to get any gum balls!
Occasionally we will have deals where you can get double currency for your goods, and we do things like discounts and other special deals, so keep an eye out for those!
You can exchange CS pets, items & C$ for currency. Please note, I’m not looking for double+ of a pet unless it is on my wishlist.
Don't forget to let me know that you're trading for gum ball currency!
Below you will be able to see how many tokens you can get for your pets & C$.

Breeding

Postby melody. » Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:07 pm

This is where the magic happens! If you want to breed a couple of gum balls, all you have to is stick them to some of that magic chewed up gum and you’ll have little baby gum balls running around in no time. (Don’t question the logic on this. No one knows why gum balls like to lie in old chewed gum. It’s a mystery. Or maybe they’re just really weird.)
Gum balls typically produce 2-4 babies at a time, and there’s a two week cool down period before gum balls can breed again.
You can breed your gum ball with someone else but you both must have some gum. Both owners can then adopt x1 gum ball from their litter.
