Will there ever be any steps taken to curb the moderators purchasing every coadle? RezzDino is the worst culprit and it is obvious they know in advance when batches are going up and have not even a fragment of self control.

Rezzdino only has about 18 coadles, out of the 300+ that have been made. Not even close to all but she is a customer just as much as anyone else and if she wants to spend her money she may. She is always on time with payments and hasn’t broken any rules. Many designs she has bought, she bought after no one else was willing to start bidding which is why she does have so many. I (Maho) have recently done a FTO and plan to do more FTO (First time owners) sales in the future for people who haven’t had the chance to get one yet. But I don’t see it as a problem or see harm in admin buying designs too since they are volunteering to be admin, not paid. I’d let her buy what she wanted whether she was a mod or a member.

Hey! Have you ever thought about removing the groups you have now and just merging species/ cs groups together in one big world-arp group? O V O I think it would be really cool! I love all of the species and just idk- Having them all interact would be super fun to see~ X33 I absolutely LOVE all the ARPG stuffs you're doing since i just got into the lore for all 3 species & Kaima (im actually in alot arpg stuff myself X33) and i think itd be cool to have trials and monthly prompts with them all!

Awe, thank you so much for your interest! We actually have been planning on creating a 4th group to put all of them together. A sort of Plumeria World group. But still have the 3 main groups for their main events and currencies, masters and so forth… but have all the groups be interconnected and work 1=1 with stats, items, trials, currency so they can be plugged into the main group super easily and make sense… Then having coadles and cloaks for example fighting together against a rogue Dracokai for instance. But it is certainly something we can plan out and see what we can do and how we can best shift it around to make it work the best ;v;b.

Hide {EE} {P} by DragonMiner101

Entry from last year’s Wendigo Event (2016). Every year the wendigo royal wakes and hunts coadles. They must fight for their survival. We are now coming up on this years event so I felt that sharing an entry from last year would be inspiring. This entry is by DragonMiner101 of their coadle hiding. If they do not move they are safe xD

As far as feedback goes, I don't agree with the recent trend of not giving full size artwork to people. Some of the more recent batches of coadles are positively tiny and the art seems pretty low quality (resolution), it is scandalous to expect people to pay hundreds of dollars to not provide the full size artwork out of laziness. I don't care about the "you pay for the rights to use the species" reasoning because its an excuse not an explanation, people care about this species but feel cheated.

Answered by Tay and Maho

Tay - While i can understand your’s and other’s frustration. You have to understand that many adoptables out there that go over $1000 and sometimes even over $2000 are never given a separate image with them but many people find no issue with it or feel cheated. This may only be an issue with Maho because Maho put in the extra effort from the onset to give refs complimentary to her designs but was taken advantage of. So while other artists never started out giving refs, their members never feel cheated because they never had that opportunity to begin with. Maho did, so when she no longer gives them it was Maho who was at fault. It is done out of protection of her art, and to keep other users from using the full sized refs to scam others. Some people do have the idea that a full size art = ownership and someone who can come to own one or find the posted full size can sell to multiple people using the art as proof of ownership and scamming others (Happened in other communities already and becoming a trend). Rather than referring to the masterlist, and is very unsafe. One CS artist was being bullied into refunding those who were scammed because they thought the full refs meant the person could sell it to them but never checked the actual owner’s list to verify. The full sized ref = ownership idea is was probably the worst thing to put as the standard in the community in the first place and in the community in general and has been causing lots of issues with many CS creators. To avoid the same issues it was also implemented with our species to remove full sized refs. It’s the “Someone ruined it for everyone else” sort of deal and we apologize for that. If every member was perfect and respectful of the art this would have never happened. Another thing is Maho and her admins do not always receive more than 200$ for the adopts they make let alone 100$ at most. She does not believe in charging any more than 200$ autobid for her species because she still tries to maintain fairness and allows others that can’t even go over 25$ a chance to gain one of her species for free through hard work and fun events. 

We have a master list that proves the ownership of who ever buys a certain design. Ive talked to many people of the community and most of them do not feel cheated over the recent events of not receiving files. In fact the majority understand why it happened, but as for you feeling cheated the most i can do is apologize for it and that no harm was meant by it. Also please know that as we are currently aware of only Maho is not giving out files to her adopts but the other admin still might with theirs. Just a bit of info, sorry for rambling ^^; Tried to get out as much info i knew to help out. Maho - I am willing to give out transparent files (Without BG, full size if the small batch ones since I post them at 50% size) if asked only. But it would be in my free time and not part of the design’s cost. It would be me doing it for free since the money I get from the design usually doesn’t even cover the cost of making it alone and time spent adding it to the master list, hours working to polish etc. Majority of my designs sell for less than 50 dollars and it takes me hours to do one design. From our perspective we feel that no one should say “I feel cheated” if they pay less than the work itself and expect even more for free. We don’t show how long it takes to design these so we know that outside our admin circle people don’t see all the background work we put into all this, especially if they do not run a species themself and realize that 99% of work (Admin, modding, item designing, programing, html, masterlist updating, rule making, tweeking and working to improve) all go unpaid. So I understand the frustration, but I don’t ever “Set stuff in stone” and I always am able to bend a bit for people who are willing to work with me and be patient. But the art is just complimentary (Me doing it for a good member) not owed to the designs anymore. I like using BGless refs myself from other species I own so I definitely understand and sometime in the future may find a way to post my designs in an appealing way that has no bg and is easy to crop if in a batch but still keeps some sort of small watermark.  And the tiny designs you speak of, mostly sell for 25 to 30 dollars a piece and are kept small to encourage people to make the price fair for those who cannot afford the larger sized more polished ones. So they can still get one of the species but more affordable. Think of it like fabric at a store, you get discounts if you get scraps or edge of fabric pieces. And give people who cannot afford the highest tier fabric cuts a chance to get fabric. I KNOW how it feels to be priced out of species and if I can make simple, easier and smaller designs to give less financially able people a chance at it I will give them that chance like I’d like from other species. And these designs can be drawn full size and much better at a later date to with YCHs, and rebase commissions by Myself or my admin. No one should feel stuck with tiny art when there are lots of ways to get them drawn, or even draw them yourself the size you’d like if you can. There are lots of options and I hope that our ramblings have helped in some way. People should understand both sides to this and that we are trying our best, and our best may not be the best for everyone. We do not force anyone to buy our designs, or force them to stay in the community and if refs is a deal breaker there are lots of species from really nice people who do give refs. But they may be pricier or harder to get into.Last note - Those who work for practically free when everything is calculated together and continue to work as hard as they can to create a community despite the cost/hours disparity I wouldn’t consider lazy. Lazy is not running a CS group in the first place and not having to work with strangers and avoid conflicts since you don’t get them by not doing anything.

Welcome

First off, blog rules before all else

- This blog is PG13, all posts must be safe for work

- No cursing, name calling, or any form of bullying is permitted. Not against any member or admin. 

 examples : “____ admin is a total b*tch f*ck her” or “I hope everyone here dies” “I hope you ban x member because they are c*nts” etc.

- If you have an issue with any admin or other members and wish to ask anonymously we will always accept it and treat you with the utmost respect we would if talking to you with a name. With a name it would be easier to resolve and more specific but without we will still try. Please be civil, if you are upset, please wait a little bit and reply when you can compose yourself so you get your voice fully heard. No CS group is without faults but it doesn’t mean we can’t try.

- If you have suggestions for the group always state a case, and explain reasoning why you think something would work better. Even if we do not follow it we value all input and may use bits and pieces for our group ;v;b. We’ve also taken a lot of suggestions to heart over on our Discord as well, so we are still very open minded as well.

- If you have a complaint please always give what you’d like in return. A complaint that we can’t do anything about doesn’t help anyone, vents usually turn into drama and people ask “Why wasn’t anything done”. We cannot guess what someone wants, whether it is an apology or forgiveness or a favor etc. Obviously if there is a complaint, there must be a way to fix it and we always strive to resolve all conflicts and end everything on the best note we can.
