1• How do I get a goon?
There are a few ways! The first is simplest. You pay for it. Trade in C$ or pets to a banker to get a custom, or trade another user for one of theirs. Another option is waiting for the chance to adopt a goon from a raffle or contest. However, you can also get your very first goon absolutely free and guaranteed. All you have to do is go through an introduction adventure. Get pulled into the world of goons, take a look around the town, and meet your first few goons. You will be able to choose which to befriend, and they will become yours. There is a thread dedicated to these roleplay adventures called "Exploration" and there are forms to get you started if you don't know how to do so.

2• What if I don't want to roleplay with my pets?
That's fine! You don't have to. This community is built so that people who do choose to roleplay will find all kinds of unique things, and they may not want everything they find. That leaves room for you to swoop in and trade or purchase what you want without the effort.

3• Can I help out/join the staff?
Sure! There are compensated staff and volunteer positions available, and you can apply for them with the form provided in the applications section of our discord!

4• Do I have to join the Discord?
How much you participate in any part of the community is up to you! Of course, it was built for a certain type of play, which means there will be more benefits to taking part in everything you can, but no part of it is necessary on its own. That being said, the discord will have more events, easier community interaction, and does not have the same limitations to how often you can roleplay, so if you're going for the full roleplay experience, it's probably best to check out the discord.

Ruberries are berries that look and shine like the gems they are named for, though much softer under their sturdy outer flesh. These sweet and juicy fruit are a staple in the goons' diets. If you can prove yourself to be a good provider, they may very well decide you are good company to keep and even go out exploring with or for you. Ruberries are a standard currency due to their common usage and the ease with which most can acquire them, but most goons can be convinced to part with them for a type of food they get much more rarely: meat.

You’ve learned that going outside the town limits can be dangerous without an escort,
and while it is absolutely allowed to those with the right skills or connections, it is not advised.
Luckily, the town has a process for hiring security professionals for just that reason. You enter
the registration office in hopes of discussing a contract with one of the mercenaries you saw
advertised in a bulletin. The officials here will be able to track down the goon for you and set
you up so that you can discuss terms of employment.
Of course, this being an office, you’ll first need to fill out the paperwork...

Customs are open!

• Be sure to only ask for one goon at a time.
• You will be charged after the artist finishes your order.
• Prices listed are standard goon prices, line edits will cost more.
• You may pick no artist, but your order will be completed more slowly depending on how quickly or slowly it is claimed.
• Give a detailed description or a picture reference when ordering, and fill out all fields properly.
• You may not have any themes not allowed by CS rules in your goons.
• You may request kid-friendly alternatives instead, however.
• Please don't use any goons as references.
• Line edits are fine, as long as the goon still looks like a goon.
• If you are unsatisfied with your custom, you may request changes up to 3 times for free; after that, each change will cost an additional 10 ruberries (may vary depending on the chosen artist).

While there is safety within these walls, that is not always the case outside them.
Sometimes desperation will drive a goon into danger alone, and other times a perfectly
capable goon will simply overestimate themselves or get very unlucky. When that happens,
young goons can be left behind without a means of providing for themselves.
These are a few of the most recent unfortunates, but maybe you can turn their luck around.

• You may apply to adopt only one goon per litter.
• Successful applicants must wait 30 days before reapplying.
• Applicants with fewer goons will have better odds of acceptance.

The guild hall is, to your surprise, the largest structure in the little town,
and you have to wonder why at first, but when you pass through the broad doors and find
more than half the population milling about, you begin to understand. This is not the hall of a guild.
It is the hall of all town guilds! You are just starting to wonder what kind of person that would make
the guild leader when a throat clears behind you. Startling, you turn to find that you have blocked
the passage through the front door. While the patiently waiting goons behind you could probably
stream past, they would likely shove you in passing, and that would be very rude. Like, say,
standing in the door of a public venue level rude. You excuse yourself and make your way in.

Hunkered over a pile of books at a corner table, left alone by all others, sits a particularly
exhausted looking goon. That golden collar and jeweled medallion hung around his neck
are what gave him away, as they are the same symbols marking the front of the hall.
He sighs, without even looking up.

"Another one seeking an early death, hmm? What is it you're after, human?
That's the first thing your kind always come here for. I may be the guild leader, but it's only a title.
Really, I just make sure everyone follows the rules. Here, look. This is how I do it." The guild master,
it turns out, has little energy to deal with your shenanigans or whims, and cuts straight
to the heart of matters. He holds out a handful of items to you, explaining their uses and requirements,
insisting that if these aren't what you were after, he really can't help you.
