Heh, i was thinking the same thing while reading that. He really thinks he's all that doesn't he?

Personally i think he's just freaking out because he's not practically the richest Gaian in the known universe anymore...thank god. I can't count how many times that greedy jerk kept outoffering people on quests for donation items in the exchange for a lot more than stuff was currently worth. Geez dude, give the people who have been saving up for ages a chance, will you?

Err, i was ranting. Anyway i'm kind of boggled how he managed to get so wealthy in just a few months (someone said his original account had started in january).

I personally like the, "Well, they don't punish the guy if a thief sticks stolen jewelry in his bag" analogy.

Of course they don't unless the guy knows it's stolen and tries to fence it. Jackass.

I'm guessing he started getting so rich from buying lots of donation letters and selling them off. I wonder if they can plunder and give away all the crap he has in his various accounts to people who've been questing for ages for some of that stuff.

Me? I just try to post, do my little thing, and ponder opening a pet shop to pay for my pixel-crack addiction.

	Yeah, i was thinking of opening a shop too but i can't think of what i could sell (i'm not that great an artist, and i don't have a drawing tablet. I guess i could make pixel-thingies but i have no idea what people are using to make those. I'd like some minis but eh, don't see that happening. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm pretty good at managing business stuff. I could help keep that stuff straight for a percentage of the profits. If you think you might actually want to you can PM me on Gaia, i'm Abbey Rowe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You could also see about hiring an artist to do the lineart for you and a colorist (who'd take a small commission) to color the various little creatures for you.

The pixel artists use Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or GIMP and just zoom in like a mofo. I don't know how they don't go blind doing that.

Me? I hope for a nightmare scarf, but I'll settle for getting as much as I can from the shops.

I was thinking of looking for an artist to help, i could probably do the coloring myself. I still don't have a firm idea of what i want to do though. I know pets are popular but i think the breedables stuff gets WAY too taxing for my liking.

I always wondered how they manage to figure out what those pixel pictures will look like once they zoom out. I'm terrible at looking at a bunch of pixels up close and creating something out of them.

I have a NM scarf, maybe you could borrow it sometime if you want?

Hm, looks like Minishops would be best then. People can buy them, and you won't have to put in the work for keeping up the breedables stuff. (Unlike me, who actually thought, "Twelve different linearts? Fifteen different breeding combos? This must be a good idea!" I'm strangling my brain after I finish the shop.)

*snickers* Yeah, I couldn't do tiny pixel work. Zoom in. Do a dot. Zoom out to see what it looks like. Erase if necessary. Repeat. Et cetera.

I might not borrow it right now, but thanks for offering. :) I'm Andromache over on Gaia.

	Actually, most of the pixel artists I've seen use MS Paint, because then you don't have to do all that zooming crap. You don't really need many tools for pixel art anyway. Eh, I'm looking for a Sash myself... :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)
