Important Updates

This is going to be a large post.

In addition to some slight rule changes (be sure to re-read over everything) we will be allowing multiple applications as a holiday gift for the month of December. During this time you may apply for as many Runes as you like from the selection available. This will be returning back to normal January 1st.

Rules

~Please do not steal or ever claim these as your own.
~You may use the Runes that you have won in signatures, stories, RP's, or just as a friend.
~When applying, you may not place the dragon in your signature. Only the owner/winner of a Rune may use the image in either their signature or avatar.
~Do not sell these!
~Fill out the forms completely for customs and payment.
~Be sure to read up on the personalities of each adoptable on their page so you can choose the one you like most.
~Do not remove from the CS website.
~Payments for customs are 2-3 wishlist pets.
~Please place adoption forms on their respective dragon's page. The main thread is for customs, breeding, and free adoptables only.
~Limit of 8 Grown Runes and 8 Baby Runes per person.
~You may only apply for 1 Rune at a time. If you change your mind and wish to apply of another you must pull out of any current contest you have entered. (In celebration of the holidays: For the month of December only, We are allowing everyone to apply for as many Runes as they wish!)
~Two Ancients will be released every month. These are very rare dragons that are not breedable and you may only ever own/apply for one!
~Do NOT use our ideas without permission!
~Do not make art of Runes turning into Ancients if they are not your own.
~Only owners of Ancients may request commissions being made of their pre-made design and you must ask their permission to make fan-art of it first. This also goes for regular runes, do not make art of other's runes if they have not requested it or your participating in one of the judgings. You MUST have permission from the rune's owner before doing this!
~You must give credit of the Ancients/Regular Runes design to the original artist.
~If you are an artist or GA for our Rune Dragons, you must run your ideas by me first! This is to avoid two Runes being made at the same time.
~When you become an artist/GA for our runes, both me and Jendalie reserve the right to grow or turn your design into ancients if a user wins an auction or pays for breeding/growing slots.
~Do not order art of Regular Runes as Ancients. This is stealing our adoptable and will not be tolerated.
~Do not order commissions of Runes growing if they have not been grown yet. This is basically stealing our adoptable and making them your own.
~Do not make shops or sell my idea in auctions. This is stealing and only I will request a shop to be made.
~Do not make "Fake Pets" of our Runes.
~Any form of art theft will result in a strike and reported.
~Please do not request a custom or breeding. An announcement will be made when slots are available. Do not ask or request a custom or breeding when slots are closed. (only one more custom slot will be opened. Customs will be retired after that time.)
~ You will receive a PM containing the code for your adoptable once payment is received.
~If you create fan art of a rune dragon then please be sure to give proper credit to the original artists.
~Please use common sense. Think before you post.
~Please be kind and show respect to the other users and artists on this thread. Any arguing will be reported as spam and either a warning or strike will be given depending on the situation.
~No bullying or harassment of other members in the Rune Dragon community will not be tolerated. You will be immediately reported and banned.
~If you are banned from Rune Dragons you will forfeit all Runes/Drakes/Ancient to other users who will take care of them.
~Definition of Banned: You will no longer be allowed to participate or communicate in our main thread, fan club, offsite forums, or anything that has absolutely anything to do with our Rune Dragons. This is a very sad but serious thing and it is very unfortunate when someone is banned. We always try to make sure it does not come to this.

Rules

~Those with the best form will win this dragon.
~You are allowed to add more to the form until the final date when the winner will be chosen.
~Do not argue or whine if you do not get this dragon. There will be MORE in the future but it takes hours to make these adoptables so patience is required when competing.
~Do not take any of my ideas without permission. I now have to state this in all my rules because of past issues.
~Do not use pictures from Google in your form.
~Only talk about the other runes on the main page.
~If there are any questions post them on the main thread for a mod to answer. We will no longer answer questions through PM.
~The forms are just skeletons to build on. You are allowed to add any effects you believe will make it more appealing and while there are no limits on how much you can write, please keep the length within reason.
~Enjoy, and if you do not win simply congratulate the ones who did and look forward to the next release. Do not make the winner feel bad because you're sore about losing.
~Be respectful and polite to each other and have fun with your form.
~Because of recent problems we will automatically disqualify and give a strike to anyone found trying to guilt or harassing others either on the threads or through PM.
~Remember that besides our own rules all Creativity Forum and Site rules apply.

yay! thanks for the awesome gift guys!

There is one rule I am uncertain of the meaning. Could anyone clarify for me?

~Do not order art of runes who have not turned into Ancients yet. This is stealing our adoptable and will not be tolerated.

[Sneky]

Wow, thanks for the epic rule change!

This rule implies that you cannot order art or ask another artist to make a drawing of your rune into an ancient (especially as it has not been turned into an ancient). For example, if you ordered art from an artist on CS to make your Canvas into a big ancient dragon instead of Canvas as a normal rune. If that made any sense... ^^;

When we first started releasing ancients there were a few members ordering art of their regular runes as ancients. Which is off limits as we actually do grow ancients from regular runes ourselves. Any other artist besides Benathorn or myself do not have permission to do this.

I hope this makes the rule a little clearer.

[Bast-et]

You did say that we could doodle fantasy art of them as ancients ourselves though right? Like I could draw Serca as a ancient just for funsies? Or is that not okay/ only alright because I already have my ancient?

[Sphye]

Okay, thank you. The phrasing confused me a bit.

Yes you may do art or your own on what you imagine one of your Runes might look. But no one is allowed to design ancients for others since the species belongs to Benathorn and only she and I may create ancients.

Okay, thank you. The phrasing confused me a bit.

I have gone back re-worded the rule to make it clearer. I apologize if it confused anyone.
