among the stars
"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as,
if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark.
Dark would be without meaning.”

Do NOT steal, manipulate, or edit images, items, or characters from AS.
--02. have common sense.
Sort of all-encompassing, but don't be rude, don't harass people, don't start drama, don't
whine, etc.
--03. NO MINI-MODDING
We have moderators to do the job guys. :c
--04. no reselling stars

There will be no co-owning stars unless stated, co-owning may be permitted if a case of
twin, or sibling stars, are released.
--06. take care of your star
Be active on the thread; participate in events/missions, rps, etc.! The more active you are
with your star the quicker it will grow and thrive! We will always have something to do with
your star in order for it to grow, so check the thread often!
--07. don't spam the thread!
A fairly simple rule, do not stray off topic, if we believe your post is spam, you WILL be
warned.
--08. do not pester staff.
Pestering staff is when you ask for a star, or asking if we are ever going to open staff apps
It causes unnecessary spam and it's annoying. :c
--09. no guilt trips.
This will result in a instant ban. Guilt trips discourage others from bidding or entering an
event! Saying anything like "my father died the last week, and the star this is based off of
was his favorite!!!11one Please let me win I really love it!" .... just no.
--10. do not post questions here
Questions posted on this thread will be ignored, please pm the question to me, or any one
of the moderators! [specifically fireflii. c:]
--!!. i reserve the right to change rules and ban those to which i see fit.
Because I can.

flatsale rules
what is a flatsale?
a flatsale is when I offer stars for a set [flat] price.

--01. no editing forms.
Editing causes confusion and makes me lose track of what is happening! If you wish to change
your form, please post a new one. <:
--02. there are more than one kind of flatsale.
There will be RP Flatsales; Faffles; Normal Flatsales [this will be the most common.] Rules will
differ slightly for each flatsale, and will be specified on the post! Please be sure to read every-
thing before posting a form.
--03. do not post a pet you do not have!
This would be unfair to everyone who could of posted before you, and it just wastes my time.
--04. DO NOT POST BEFORE I SAY GO.
I will often post a star 3-24 hours before I opening posting. This is for me to prepare for the
event, and members to get ready! I will extremely strict about this rule, so be careful not to
post anything before the confirmed go.

auction rules

--01. do not bid pets you do not have!
Its not fair to others to bid pets you do not have, no matter how much you want the star, its
not good to lie, guys.
--02. do not retract bids
Do not bid unless you are completely sure you want the star. You are not allowed to drop out.
--03. autobuys?
Sometimes there will be autobuys, sometimes there will not be. : > Just depends on the artist.
--04. ninja bidding
Bidding will end in the next 6 hours after the last bid is placed to prevent ninjas or snipers. c:
--05. send bids in a group

track of!

setting

An unseen shop lies in a bustling part of town, faded and tucked away in a settled corner. At first glance, one is to assume that the shop, this shop, has seen better days. It is a store that has once held a spot in a shop goers mind as that-quaint-shop-on-the-corner, but it has not deteriorated into oh-that-place-next-to-starbucks. Formally white window panes grab onto the rough wall unevenly, holding a window that is too young for its frame. Though seamless as the glass might be, one can never appear to see inside of it, like a trick of the eye. The door to the left of the window has been worn down from age and constant rain the town experienced in the spring. Just like the window, it is the remnants of something that once was.

[insert banner here]

01. bottled____________________________________________
. In this stage, the star is at the very beginning of its life.
. One must take extra precaution to keep the star safe
. and allow to it grow safely in its bottle. If you were to
. open the bottle at this time, the star will surely die.

__________________________________________02. star dust
. When the your star reaches this stage, is it a cause for
. celebration! A star has passed a very critical stage in it's
. life, and now is in its infancy. Much like a human child,
. stars will be rambunctious, and will require lots of care.

03. celestial body._____________________________________
. The star has finally reached full maturity! All that time
. caring for it has paid off. At this stage, the star can
. sustain itself, but will still require your care and regard.
. To many, this is the last stage of a star they will see.

__________________________________04. planetary nebula.
. Very little is known about this life stage, as very few
. have managed to get to this portion of their lives.
. Specters say that is takes up to an millennium for one
. to mature this far. That can't possibly be true, can it?

nonlinear growths

The chances of a nonlinear growth in a star is very improbable, though the chance is low, it is not impossible. A
star's growth can jump from being a celestial body, back into a bottle, and vice versa. Some causes of nonlinear
growths are the stress and the improper care of a star, though in some cases the growths can be in your favor,
is this not something to be in desire of.
