Certing and Database Listings

This thread is for users to get their new kin certed, to obtain cert corrections, and to request database listing corrections. Please refer to the correct posts and forms for more information.

Please do not use any photobucket or similar site links in this thread. Please use the link as given to you by your colorist or by the certists, in the case of cert or database corrections.

UPDATE 8/7/20: PLEASE ONLY PUT ONE CERTING REQUEST PER POST.
A breeding form with multiple kin counts as one request, but several kin, or a breeding and a kin, a kin and a pet, etc, should each be posted in their own post.

Certing Information

• All new Kimeti, Kiokote, Acha, Totoma, or Zikwa, or any kind of Pet/Familiar, regardless of how they were obtained, should be posted here for name approval and certing.
• Names must be approved before the pet can be certed. If your name is borderline, a RP manager will PM you to write a naming dream. If your name is not approved, you will be contacted by PM to submit a new cert request.
• Please don't edit any posts in this thread after an RP manager has looked over it (approved or rejected). If you made an error or wish to change something, PM 'Matope Arrivals' with a note that you need it corrected or repost with your correction.
• Cert corrections requests are also made in this thread using the cert corrections form.
• All certing and cert correction requests are completed in the order of their submission.

Database Listing Information

• The kin database found at kindex is updated after certs are dropped off. If your kin is not listed on the kindex please be patient. If you see kin who were dropped off after your kin show up on the kindex, then please notify us using this thread.
• If the database listing matches the information on your cert, but there is an error, then the error originated on the cert and you will need to post for a cert correction, not a database listing correction.
• Please make sure to provide all relevant links and information in order for your correction to be made in a timely fashion.
• Please also be advised that Adblocker has a habit of blocking some of our images. If you suspect that an image link on the kindex is broken, please first double check that it is not Adblocker by finding the uncert url and whitelisting it.

Certing Kin with Naming Stories

Time has passed and cross-breeding has proliferated in the swamp. As such, the strict rule of kin names -- naming dreams for Kimeti, Kiokote, Acha, and Zikwa, but not for Totoma -- has degraded, and some newborn Totoma have begun to have naming dreams, instead. On the flip side of the coin, some of the other species have awoken from their larval or eggy slumber to realize they have had no dream, and have no idea who they are or what they should be called. These kin will have to take a page out of the Totoma book: they'll have to earn their names, being gifted by those around them as they come of age.

This special post is just for those kin who did not have a naming dream, and instead have a naming story! Instead of using the above forms, please use those below. Also, please read the following notes:

• All growing kin will be certed as merely their species name (Kimeti, Kiokote, Acha, Totoma, or Zikwa) until they reach adulthood.
• Any non-growing kin should be named at certing, unless you have specific RP intentions for them without a name. If you have an adult kin certed without a name, you must RP the naming.
• Story names should never be purple or flowery, they should be as simple as possible, and the connection between the act that gave them their name and their name should be very clear. For example, Sneaks-About is a better name than In The Shadows, which is better than Phantom Footfalls, which is better than Clandestine. They have much less leeway/poetry than naming dream-based names.

If that's clear, use the following forms:

Individual Naming Story form:

This form is intended for individual kin who have a Naming Story that were purchased or won.

Database Correction

Please only use this form if your cert has already been dropped off and your kin's listing exists on the database. Also, before you request a database listing correction, please make sure that the error did not originate on the cert. If it did, please post for a cert correction; the database listing will automatically be corrected after the cert has been corrected. Please recognize that this process can take time since the database is updated manually so please don't post for a database correction unless kin that were certed after your cert correction was posted have been added to the database. Also, please provide all relevant links to make sure your listing gets updated as quickly as possible.

Code: Select all

Chibi Plush Certs

HOW THIS WORKS:

In order to claim a Chibi Plush, you must first have a Token - Chibi Plush item in your shop inventory. For the purpose of this event, every member can claim one free Chibi Plush token by filling out the form below and posting in this thread.

Once you have a token in hand, you must also complete a quest in the form of a series of tasks.

1. Have official kin art certed and listed under your name on the Owner's List
2. Have a Naming Dream written for the kin in question.
3. Complete the Prompt Below:
   
   Spoiler

   Favorite Childhood Object
   When your kin was young, they had one particular trinket that caused them great joy -- either one day, or over a period of long time. What was this object? Why was it special? How did they come across it?
   
   This prompt must be done by the same kin you are claiming the Chibi Plush of.
   
   You can complete this prompt by either writing a solo or PRP with another player with a minimum of 250 words in the Roleplaying Subforum. If you hit 500 words, this can count as a Legendary Requirement for the kin in question.
   
   Alternately, you can complete this prompt by drawing a piece of artwork of your kin interacting with their childhood object, with a minimum of lines & shading or lines & color. If you choose this option, you must also include short answers to the three questions above. Put your art and the answers in a thread in the Roleplaying Subforum.
4. Post all of the above in this thread using the form below.

Once you have a token and have completed the MYO Chibi Plush Quest, you can download the template here to either create the artwork yourself, or hire someone else to make you artwork through the Marketplace or any other method you may seem fit. Then you will post the following form in this thread to have it certed:
