Alright, it's come to my attention that two Handlers who should know better have approached our farm Scribe asking for Wyrms to be held for them/ asking her to try and get Wyrms for them. I'm not naming names at this point, as I'm pretty sure you both know who you are.

So here is my one and ONLY warning.

You both have one strike against you. Players who accumulate three strikes will earn a 6 month ban from this game and during that time be unable to adopt new Wyrms, or breed their existing Wyrms.

Players/Handlers are NOT allowed to ask CDF Staff to hold/reserve/get them Wyrms, or ask for any sort of preferential treatment. Period. This game is meant to be fun, and fair. Wyrms posted online or at conventions are First Come, First Served. Both Handlers with the strike have asked myself and Arazia about reserving Wyrms, or in the case of one Handler, asked me to hold/reserve Wyrms for them previously. Pulling a "Mommy/Daddy" and asking us both the same question in hopes of getting a different answer is NOT cool, and will get you a strike.

Staff needs to remain impartial, and as such is not allowed to reserve or hold Wyrms for people. If Arazia is going to a convention and CHOOSES to pick up Wyrms for people, that is one thing. Poking at her to save you Wyrms from online batches, reserve Wyrms being posted online, etc. is another, and is not allowed.

Play nice. Understand that this is supposed to be fun, not a competition to get the most Wyrms. I'm terribly sorry the number of Wyrms out there doesn't match the number of people wanting them, but I am ONE person making one of a kind items, NOT a factory cranking out mass produced pieces of plastic. And I have a baby to care for, who is my FIRST priority. So bear with me, be patient, and don't try to "jump the line" because you don't want to wait like everyone else. It's rude, unfair, and will not be tolerated.

Just to add on to this...

I would like to state that in the case of conventions, online sales, auctions, etc. (anything involving the sale of Wyrms), I will only make purchases that are for /me/ personally. I will not buy things for people at conventions, or bid on something for people in an online auction, or claim/reserve an online sold Wyrm for someone.

The reason that I will not do this is exactly as HopefulMonster has said. I want to remain impartial. It wouldn't be fair for me, as someone who represents CruinndracFarms, to go about giving special treatment a Handler by doing these things.

For the most part, when HopefulMonster puts up leftover Wyrms for sale, I'm in the same exact boat as the rest of you. That means that if I want something, I'm sitting with all of you, hitting refresh, and hoping to be fast enough. The only time that I do know when she's going to post something is when we do full online clutches, because I coordinate to make sure people on Furaffinity and Deviantart get an equal chance at them. When these go up, I make sure to get things cross-posted so everyone has an equal shot at things.

Now - We have no problem if you want to ask a friend to grab something for you at a convention, or if you want to get them to claim an online-sold Wyrm for you, or whatever, but since both of us represent the game and the company, it really isn't fair for either of us to give anyone preferential treatment.

P.S. I do appreciate the fact that other people have gone out of their way to purchase Wyrms for me at conventions before, and I may ask for this sort of favor again in the future. When/if I do so, I do so as a personal handler, and I will pay for my purchases, but I cannot do the same for others in return. Sorry.
