    Username: I am squid;, or Sir. Ink Squid of VolcanVille. Either one will do, as long as no one calls me a guy. I am not a guy. -_-
    Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I may not have the greatest pets on Chickensmoothie, but I have greatly enjoyed my experience. I like to think that I've achieved some things, and have a general knowledge of the site. I love helping other people soar like the chickensmoothie-ers they are, and this would be a great way to do it. :)
    How often do you get on CS?: Very often. I try to get on every day because I have a duty to the Roll Plays I own, if only for a few minutes. However, I still live with my parents, so unpredicted limited use may appear.
    Which categories would you like to apply for?: I have had plenty of experience Roll Playing and BB Coding, both here and on PoKéFarm. { As required, I will post an example of my Roll Playing below. } Please, take these into consideration.
    How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: On average, I sped about two to three hours a day on Chickensmoothie. This, again, may vary, but I try.
    Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course! I have gone out of my way in the past to try and help with questions on my own, but this is what I've been looking for. :D

There isn't anything more relaxing than watching the sun go down over the treetops from your hole in the ground. Rip had his back hooves spread out behind him in his shelter hole, cleaning out his front legs with his claws. He smiled at the orange that matched his mane, and the incoming smog overhead... smog? Slowly and with curiosity, Rock Ripper pushed up out of his hole. What was smog doing in her perfect setting sky? He climbed up a tree quickly, and sniffed the air. Steel, there was lots of steel, and it wasn't too far off. His eyes zoomed in on the nearest town: Ponyville, and a nearby camp that had been set up. When did the zebras move out of the forest? "What's happening?" he whispered to himself aloud.

Hi, welcome to CS! Sense no one has done so yet, I'll answer some of your questions. For art all art is aloud so long as it's child friendly and proper credit is given to the artists who's base you have used. Chicken smoothie has a wonderful Oekaki digital drawing program that you can use for free, but make sure you have java installed, to make your own Oekaki, simply go to one of the Oekaki boards and find the create new drawing button. If you prefer another art program or like hand drawing, you can upload pictures to the art galleries and discussion board.
The three or six month rule applies trading, if two pets are within 3 or sometimes 6 months of each other and have the same rarity the trade can usually be considered fair.
If you want more pets for free visit the free adoptions board, many people who can't find time for CS anymore give their pets away to users who want them.
About C$, I'm not quite sure what your asking but may is this will answer your question, viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1799408

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I've been on CS for a long, long time now. As a newbie, I was so strange and crazy.

How often do you get on CS?: Everyday, or as close to that as possible.
Which categories would you like to apply for?: (Not 100% sure how many I'm meant to put, but hey, here we go anyway.) General Knowledge, BB Code, Trading & pets.
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: As long as possible. Probably up to two hours per day.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course! There's no use being mean or rude to someone if you want them to cooperate. I'd expect the same back, however.

Hi there, welcome to Chickensmoothie! The areas you'd like to know more about can be easily explained through these helpful guides & threads, so I don't believe you need an adopter.

The "Is this a fair trade?" Thread
Understanding Rarities Guide
Unreleased (UR) Pets Guide

If you have any further questions feel free to post them here on the thread. If you continue to get stuck or confused feel free to ask here, or send in a help ticket to contact a staff member. Furthermore, you are welcome to come back and apply for an adopter at any time if you need other areas explained.

Noleah is fairly busy with work outside of CS, and hasn't had that much time for AAN. You can forward your message to me and I can answer you, and let noleah know everything has been worked out. c:

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?:
I would love to help out with all the new-comers to Chickensmoothie the best I can, it seems like it would be fun to teach my knowledge of what I'm applying for!

How often do you get on CS?:

I try my best to check everyday on my pets and trade offers, but sometimes school and chores keep me busy.

Which categories would you like to apply for?:

I would like to apply for role-playing, since I'm more used to that than most then other categories, but I do have basic knowledge of BB Code.

How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?:
If I get on I spend up to an hour and a half each time, and I might log on more than once in the same day.

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:

I will always be polite to someone, and I try my best to help them to the full extent of my knowledge.

Role-play Example:

My hair whipped behind me as the wind passed me, my footsteps thumping loudly against the dead and crunchy leaves of the chilly fall air. Moonlight shine from the trees like a flash-light, it's silver rays cast upon the ground and my swiftly moving form. I slipped through the tall trees silently, trying to make a break for the clearing I always go to with my friends when I find the time to creep out my bedroom window in the dead of the night. This small open field of dry grass is a soft sanctuary for the people I have come to think of as the people closest to me. My parents had never known that I sneak out almost once a week or more to see these friends, and if they did, I would surely be punished. I slowed my jog as my legs began to ache from the over use and my black long hair finally settled happily on my shoulders of my black tank-top, dark blue jeans covering my legs as my breath came out in panting breathes, turning to fog in the chilly night air that seemed not to bug me even though I wasn't supplied with the luxury of a soft coat, that of which I didn't want. A welcome call sounded upon my arrival to the moon-lit open field, the sky above us like a black blanket, small stars littered the black expanse with a large full-moon watching us in the field. A small smile graced my freckled face as my light grey eyes traveled the near empty field that only one or two of which my friends had come, all still waiting patiently for the others. Here it was safe to talk between us, without having to worry about eaves droppers or adults that would snoop into our personal topics, and we didn't have to worry about one of our friends going behind our backs. Here it was free, speak of what we will with no consequences, no rules, and nothing to worry about. Here we could be ourselves.

I hope this is good enough ^-^
