| Melceys have a very loose breeding system. Like neccos, they may form social groups, except instead of a swarm we call melcey groups packs. Melceys do not need to be members of a pack to breed. However, it helps. It helps a lot. Melcey packs are formed by you, the adopter. You must create a page for this pack you choose to create with a listing of the members (ID, melcey's Name/URL, owner, owner's e-mail) as well as the pack's name. The pack's name is based off the lead melcey's theme. A lead melcey may be male or female, but their owner is the one to control the pack's page maintenance and it therefore is an added responsibility. A pack page owner may not post melceys that do not belong to them under any circumstances. Your melceys are that -- yours, not anybody else's, even with permission given. A pack page must be aesthetically pleasing (pretty) as well as functional. As with the necco swarms, I'm always happy to see a nifty pack page. So if you're going to make one, feel free to indulge your creative resources ^_^ When making a pack, it's of course a good thing to be original, but please try to maintain a good understanding of melceys. Melcey packs are fairly simple social groups. It is possible to leave a melcey pack, but please do not "pack hop." If you change packs, at least have a reasonable reason to do so, and don't do it frequently. It's not a permanent committment, but you should at least respect it for what it's worth. To make your pack official, you must have at least 5 members. You gain members by posting on the forums. You are not advertising mattresses or holiday used car sales, so there is no need to be bombastic with your attempts to draw attention to your pack. You may ask people on an individual basis, but mass e-mailings are not allowed. The e-mail lists took me an extremely long time to put together. They are copyrighted to me as much as anything else on the site is, and the e-mails are private to their individual owners. Use of them to send out spam for your pack is glowered upon. Unpleasant stuff aside, eventually you should be able to gain at least 5 members for your pack. Then you e-mail me the pack's name and URL. The pack will not be official until I approve it. Breeding is not allowed in melceys between packs. Melceys will join a pack singly or as a mated couple. Melceys are not as monogamous as neccos emotionally, but they tend not to be as loose in the mating department (which isn't saying much, seeing how wildly promiscuous neccos are). Melceys do not mate for life. They can change mates anytime they please, just like people do. Melceys do not get married (marriage on Faidia is not as serious an affair as it is to us; it's of private significance, not public). Some melceys are very monogamous, some melceys are polyamorous (have multiple lovers), some melceys don't like the idea of mating at all. Mating is not that serious an issue to them. I'm not going to tell you how your melceys should get together, but what basically happens is that you find another melcey who at some time or another is willing to mate with yours. This is the point where you must watch for when extended breedings are available. This will magically occur when the letters in the box at the very tippy top of this page say Open, just like that in green letters. This means that you may sign for an extended breeding and hope your entry will be selected. If it says Closed, please do not sign, as it is foolish. I am very particular about this particular book because your information needs to be correct and concise. If it's not, I discount the entry immediately. There is no reason to make mistakes -- I am not hurrying you and the book is open for at least a day. And if you miss it, there's always next time. I'm not going to be suddenly hit by a bus one of these days (I hope not, anyway). Also, please only sign the book once. People, please, please do not sign for other people and do not sign for more than one litter. If your friend who owns the other parent signs with the same pairing, it's okay, but don't sign for multiple litters like Cuddles X Tonya and Cuddles X Tracy and Brutus X Tonya. Anything that annoys Arborwin makes your chances of getting drawn less. The owners involved in a breeding will receive one offspring each from the litter born. The other pups will be adopted out as usual to the general public. The owners automatically get pups -- they need not sign, unless they wish to express a gender/theme preference. If you do not own a melcey, you cannot apply for an extended breeding. This seems stupid to mention in retrospect, but people do it. Adopt a melcey normally first. |
