Group Rules

This group serves as the headquarters for everything pouflon related, including the community and roleplaying aspects!

• Anyone is allowed to join the group, even if you don't own a pouflon. If you own a pouflon, you can participate in all group activities. If you don't own a pouflon, you can get a pippet to participate in the group's prompts. You can find more information on pippet prompts here!
  
  
• If you do own a pouflon, you are not required to participate in any of the community or roleplaying events, like the prompts and quests; they are entirely optional. If you are interested in participating, you are required to complete a registration sheet of your pouflon beforehand!

Only pouflons, pippets, and other species of their world are currently allowed to be depicted in pieces made for group activities such as prompts, quests, and callings.

Regardless of whether you want to participate in the group, if you own a pouflon, you must abide by the Pouflon Ownership Rules.
Harassment of any kind and other social misconduct in the group are penalized according to the Ownership Rules, with two warnings and ultimately being added to the blacklist.

Submission Rules

Specific submission rules are stated in the gallery folders. As a summary:

• Prompts, Quests and Callings:
  Submissions to the Prompts, Quests and Callings folders are subject to vote before they are accepted. If a submission is not eligible for coins, it will be moved to the Featured folder.

• Journals:
  Only journals that are specifically relevant to pouflons (such as trading a pouflon, seeking a pouflon, looking to specifically draw pouflons) are allowed into the group. Please use the subfolders to submit your journals.
  

• YCHs:
  Only YCHs that specifically include at least one pouflon will be accepted into the group.
  Finished YCHs go in the Featured folder, not the YCHs folder.

Prompts

Collaborative Entries

Prompts are also allowed to be entered with Collaborative Entries.
Collaborative entries currently allowed include roleplays between two or more participants, and collaborative drawings created by two artists. Each participant must include at least one of their own pouflons to be eligible for earning coins for their entry.
All normal prompt rules apply to collaborative entries, with a few extra rules:

You will only receive the rewards for a collaborative written entry to a prompt if:

• The uploaded piece clearly states that it is a collaborative written entry in the title or description;
• The uploaded piece clearly indicates what was written by whom (either in a script-like format delineating the speaking character, or in paragraph form with clear indication of who wrote each paragraph);
• Each participating member and the pouflon(s) they participated with are clearly mentioned in the description;
• Each participating member wrote a total of at least 600 words;
• The piece is only uploaded once, by one of the participants.
  

Event Prompts

Event prompts are prompts we hold very occasionally and are issued by an NPC. These prompts give out extra prizes for entries!

Pippet Prompts

If you do not own a pouflon, you can still participate in Prompts, Seasonal Prompts, and Event Prompts, with a pippet instead!
You have to either win a pippet through the Monthly Raffles or buy one from the Rewards Shop with coins.
All guidelines and rules for Pippet Prompts are listed at the Pippet Brigade.

Community Pouflon

If you do not own a pouflon, you can also enter Prompts using the Community Pouflon, Milo!
Rules for depicting Milo can be read in their registration sheet description.

Using the community pouflon (Milo) to enter prompts:

• Only users that do not own a pouflon can use Milo to enter prompts.
• Users that do not own pouflons but do own pippets can also use Milo to enter prompts, separate from pippet prompts.
• Milo can be used to enter Prompts, Seasonal Prompts, and Event Prompts.
  
• Milo cannot be used to enter Quests or Callings.

• Prompt entries using Milo follow all of the regular Prompt rules.
• Prompt entries with Milo can earn extra coins through guest pouflons and extra 600 words bonuses, like normal prompts! They cannot earn extra coins through gold badge perks.
  
• You can see all volunteered pouflons that you can draw with Milo here!
  
• Prompt entries using Milo are eligible for the Entry Bonus.
  

Quests

Mage and Knight Tiers

As your pouflon advances through their quests and earns EXP, they will move up the tiers.
All mages and knights start at Tier 0. As they gain more EXP, the tiers go as follows-

Tier 0
0 - 4 EXP
Tier 1
5 - 18 EXP
Tier 2
19 - 39 EXP
Tier 3
40 EXP

A pouflon has to 'earn' their tier, by completing the quests in that tier. When your pouflon starts working on their Tier 1 quests, they are still considered Tier 0, until they complete enough Tier 1 quests to earn 5 EXP. When they earn 5 EXP and complete the Tier Achievement, then they begin working on their Tier 2 quests, but are still considered Tier 1 until they reach 19 EXP from completing Tier 2 quests.

Your pouflon has to earn the required EXP and then complete a Tier Achievement before they can move on to the next tier. To begin working on Tier 2 quests, your pouflon must earn 5 EXP from the Tier 1 quests and then complete the Ambitions Tier Achievement.

You can go back and complete quests from previous tiers at any time!

Tier Achievements

After earning enough EXP to move to the next tier, a Tier Achievement entry is required to officially move on from that tier to the next.
All Tier Achievement rules are the same as the Quest rules, and the requirements for Achievements are available on the respective Questboards. Tier Achievement entries should be submitted to the quests folders, and posted in the questboards in the appropriate comment threads, just like quests.

Callings

Callings are like prompts, except that they are specific to the calling's badge your pouflon is trying to earn. By completing calling entries, you gain permission to put your earned badges on your pouflon's registration sheet, and buy earning gold badges, you gain a perk that allows you to earn extra coins!

Entry Rules
✓Callings entry rules are the same as regular Prompt entry rules.

Submission Rules
✓ All entries must be submitted to the Callings folder in the group.
✓ All entries must be submitted via comment in the Callings journal.
✓ Entries must be posted individually and separately to each other, multiple entries cannot be posted in the same deviation.

Additional Callings Rules:
✓ Callings entries must be related to the specifications of the badge.
✓ Calling entry rewards are not automatically added to your account. To redeem your calling entry, you must submit it to the group, and then submit it via comment in the callings journal to redeem your rewards. You can choose to redeem entries individually, or submit a few together at one time.
✓ Each calling entry, when redeemed, earns your pouflon one of the specified badge. If you create a second entry for the same badge, your pouflon will be given an upgraded badge (a bronze badge will be upgraded to a silver badge, and then a gold badge with a third entry).
✓ You are allowed to redeem three calling entries per month per user.
✓ You can include as many registered pouflons as you would like in your entry, but you can only earn one badge for one of your pouflons at a time, per entry.
✓ All pouflon prompts and quests can also be used as calling entries, if they fulfill all of the requirements for one.
✓ Callings entries that were made only for callings, and not another activity like prompts or quests, earn 2 coins additionally to a badge.
✓ Drawings made before the addition of the callings activity to the group cannot be redeemed as callings.
