Stump the Newbie Helper
Started By
Hello Alacritians:

We have avoid the mod, now we have "Stump the Newbie Helper"!

How it works:

1) One question may be asked at a time. If nobody has answered the previous question yet, then you'll have to wait, I'm sorry!

2) The Newbie Helpers have 48 hours to answer you - correctly!

3) The question must be site related and must pertain to functions of the site. Things like "What are all the energy companions on the site?" or "How fast does a dog age with a Timewatch on it?". Not like "Which of my dogs is my favorite".

4) Please remember to be fair, while we let the first question go, asking things like "What does every item on the site do" or "Name every single marking of every dog" is just unfair. It doesn't take much to list the items or markings, no, but it takes up everyone's valuable time. Stick to specifics please, like "Name all the coat colors available to the Husky" or "List all items that will improve a dog's health".

5) If 48 hours passes with no answers or the wrong answer, you get a prize - yet to be determined - and the glory that is stumping our talented Helpers. It is a one shot game, if the helper answers incorrectly the first time, that's it, you've won!

Again, please remember, one at a time! That way nobody gets missed. This thread will stay open, so you'll all get a chance.

Do your worst! :3

You would leave Bone equivalent at 0 and put the starting price, minimum increasement and autobuy (if you are going to have one) in bones and change the currency to bones.

09-14-2012 at 9:43 PM
If I wanted to put a dog or item up for auction, but wanted to have it so people could only bid with bones, how would I do that?

09-14-2012 at 8:39 PM
How much does a dog age every half hour? What about with a timewatch or a timewarp?
