Just because someone currently owns one or two doesn't mean they should step back and let non-owners get a chance. If there is a non owner out there who is hard working and deserving of a Kiamara, then they'll win it. If there are non-owners that just don't match the standard of a current owner, then the current owner will win. It isn't about who owns what, it's about the passion and effort you put into a form. They don't need to step down, that's their choice. You'll just have to step up your game to win, which is effort. Not take the easy way by having the current owners step down. And I'm sure there will be some Kiamaras just for Non-owners, so don't worry. uvu


Alright, I understand. And I hope so.
I have a friend who's been trying out for a year now but still doesn't have one. I can see how frustrated she is.

I know some people are upset their closing, because they don't have one yet. I myself was shocked, i don't have one yet either, not cause i haven't tried but because before i tried for inaria I couldn't concentrate on forms long enough to get them done. Now i know people are upset because their closing but, if they want a chance i say try your best, ask for help from owners to critique your form. Asking owner to stop applying wont help cause their are always more non owner who will try out and possibly win. When applying for something you always should be aware of the chance you may loose it, its just a risk you take.

I completely support apple, i myself no the hardships of owning a species and know sometimes you just want to stop. ust be glad they choose to stop sooner then later :3

        I was unaware of them stopping this species up until recently, does anyone know when Apple plans on stopping?

Please don't look at me as if I'm stupid. This is a serious question c:

Are we allowed to make our own kias after they close? Once they are gone? Since they wont be owned anymore, aren't we free to make our own? I think when people ask for customs, they mean now that they are closing soon. But I mean after…

Also if our kias are mates and they close, they will never ever be able to have babies?

One more. How about we make kiamaras an open species if no one is using them anymore? If you don't want them, why not let everyone else who wants them, get them?

I'd like a mod to answer these please <3

this is also what I was wondering. Once they close, will the rules that apply now still apply, such as the no changing design and/or adding hair? Or the mates rule?

I hate to add to the madness, but I can't stay quiet about this.

This is absolutely massive.
The reason for closing, as far as I have read from the last many pages discussing this issue, is that Apple doesn't want the species to die out - rather, close while it is still strong. This doesn't make a strand of sense to me. When do you envision this species dying out? Every adopt put up has pages of forms. I would rank this species as the 3rd most popular and in-demand species of CS, only beat out by Jellybean Dragons, and Jewel Mane Dragons, basing that upon the frenzy of posts on each and every adopt. Other species that are just as beautiful and well-designed as Kiamaras have considerably less posts for adoption, and just not as many people interested. Kiamaras have a wildly strong community, and an even stronger fan base of people desperately wanting one for their own.

And another point that I want to bring up and probably will get slaughtered for is the staff themselves. You guys are an amazing team of people, and you keep putting out adopts when you can, but there are quite a few problems with the way you guys work. Starting with the nursery here; I have been stalking the nursery for months for an opening, and no slot has been opened in quite a while. Nursery artists seem to be ignoring their duties there. I understand that real life comes first, but at some point in months and months of expanses of time, there will always be time to do your job. You were specifically hired for that job, and you have a duty to fufil.
Same point goes for the Kiamara event. I understand that got messy, and tons of stuff happened, and you guys certainly needed some time off from that land of crazy. And that's fine. You guys took your break, and that's good. But what now? No one has done anything on the event in quite a while. It appears that everyone is procrastinating, and not doing the things that need to be done. Yes, again, real life comes first, great, I understand. But come on. You guys knew it was going to be a lot of work doing that event, and you tackled it head-on in the beginning. Now that it's the end, no one is doing anything. The bank has been closed for a long time. The shops have been closed for a long time. Nothing has been updated. You guys all have a responsibility to fulfill on here. And please don't tell me that people on here are just internet people. That's like the saying 'internet friends' and people's parents telling them they're not real. Every single user on here is a real, live human being. Every one of us who were part of that event have been waiting. Hundreds of individual people. I understand real life has its demands, but so do your duties as a Kiamara staff member here on the community of CS.

I'd really prefer if my questions don't get picked apart and publicly humiliated like the last response. All I hope to get out of posting this is for the staff to be more responsible, the nursery to be open more often than never, and the event to be tidied up. Please read my message, hear my voice, consider my opinion, then move on.
Thank you for your time.

Okay, I have some questions! Some are not relevant to me, but rather for everyone else wondering.

When Kias shut down, will growths still be available?

When Kias shut down, will you still be able to gift your kiamaras?

For this one, I feel that you should allow them to. What if you don't have a connection with your kia anymore? If you don't allow gifting after the 500th one, the kia will be left to rot.

Related to the last question, will re-adoption be allowed?

Can Kiamaras still become mates after the shut-down? If so, what would their story be (assuming that you close down the nursery as well) to show they can't have babies? For the story, would it be the owner's choice?

Thank you vuv
