I know this is old but please, do not assume such things. Just as trading/selling it not currently allowed, neither is removing a design from the species.
We're going through some big things right now, so this may be subject to change in the future, but it is currently against the rules.
At this moment, only if the JMD is over a year old and the change request is sent to me.
Name changes are generally only allowed if the name turns out to be a duplicate and the original owner asks for the second JMD's name to be changed. However, as JMDs had been on a long hiatus, I am giving some leeway to this rule until further notice. I know some users want to completely remake their JMD's personalities, and there are times when the name is included in that plan.
That competition was hosted before I gained ownership, but I'll see what I can do! I will try to contact Froggy about their judgement, as they were the primary owner at the time, and I will also review the entries.
However, we are currently going through applications that I received not long ago! Unfortunately, with a small staff team and varying availability, this is not a quick process. ;v;
Anime themes will be considered, but heavily-based designs are not allowed at this time! This is to respect intellectual property and copyright laws. ;v;
Loosely inspired designs are okay, of course, but for example... some of the "villain song" JMDs take colors from the characters that sang their respective songs, but that is not the same as a JMD being made with Scooby Doo's exact design.
All users may apply for both positions!
"You may send in applications for both staff positions, but you can only be selected for one."
Oekaki is encouraged, but I am working on a PSD for non-oekaki programs.
Oekaki cover pages would need to be made for each non-oekaki design, and I'd prefer it if we only had those once in a while. uvu
We will be looking for artists and moderators!
Ghost artists will also be considered. uvu
Sorry for the delay, had to think about this one for a while.
While events like gotcha bubbles would be fun, I do not want artists to be forced to mass-produce JMDs. I have considered creating a currency for JMDs, but I'd prefer to avoid that buying aspect.
Events will most likely have mini activities with different prizes as rewards, and there will also be some item raffles here and there for users who don't have time to participate in activities. Activities will vary depending on the theme of the given event.
We use a percentage system with random.org rolls. u v u Info is posted on the nursery thread, though I'm still working out certain things.
"- - - - Twins have a 25% chance to occur. Otherwise, the breeding will result in a singular baby."
Twins have a 1/4th chance to occur as of yet, and so, we will roll with a max of 100. If the roll gets 25 or less, the breeding will result in twins. If it gets anything above 25, there will be one baby. Everything will be rolled by the breeder, so unless one of the users has a breeding item that they are using, they will not effect the rolled outcomes.
For a winter event, I was going to focus on holidays that happen around December. ;v; I don't want to do something just based around Christmas, as I don't know much about it or any of the customs, and sadly, the holiday I do celebrate has passed.
I'll probably do something small for Valentine's Day, but I don't know if it'd really blend well with a winter event. ;o; A winter event could still happen, but I'm just not sure.
