Site Update
This round of Teos has something different from the previous two! In this round, you can participate in an auction for a "PSD Use" of your favorite line set. That way, if you missed out on a certain Teo set, you can give another shot at getting one!
Teo PSD Use Auctions!
The auctions are based on a tier system, where your auction reward increases based on the final bid:
$5 - $99 -- PSD Use of Teo. Send an admin the colored image and it will be uploaded over your "blank Teo."
$100 - $149 -- Comes with MDT Your Teo will come with an MDT so you can commission one of our MDT artists to color it.
$150 - $199 -- Skilled Teo! Your Teo will come with all Hidden Item adventure skills as well as the Lockpick skill.
$200 - $249 -- Breeding Pair! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, and two MDTs. Great for bidding with a friend!
$250+ -- Breeding Upgrade! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, two MDTs, and a Rare PMBC Pack. Great for bidding with a friend!
Note that these auctions DO NOT count toward Bonus Credit!
These auctions end in seven days, so have fun and enjoy them! Be nice and don't hurt each other over the Teos! ;)
And thank you for voting for us in the Chase grant contest! Keep voting -- there's no harm in having more than the minimum number of votes to qualify!
We have a very, very big change planned for June and we had hoped that this sale will help provide some "financial padding" for the change... we think you're going to like it, as it's been asked for for a while! Please purchase what you can so we can confidently give it a shot!
TO CLARIFY- These auctions are NOT to drive the new change. These auctions are intended to raise the $17,000 promised to the Teo artists if their sets sold on the first day (170 sets x $100 bonus). Because most people spent bonus credit saved up over months on the Teos instead of spending USD in the sale to get them, we are now severely in the hole again and will not be able to pay people anymore (programmers, artists, server, etc) if we cannot make this money to pay the artists. It was an oversight with the implementation bonus credit and will be rectified if we survive this mistake.

Prof Jamew (#2712) Basically they gave everyone in the USD auction credit towards teos.
great except the bonus they offered artists was scaled based on at least HALF of the teos sold the first day being bought with FRESH sales.
And 12k usd in the auctions meant 1k teo eggs were ready to pop day one... whoops.

J.A.K. (#15) Any thoughts on the mystery box idea? So folks stop loosing their minds over how "unfair" the auctions are?
Since folks can earn em by doing art, etc, and you can stick em up for like 15 mil bp or something like that, to let folks earn them slowly, or buy em quickly.

I'm one that was lucky to get a gen 1 teo on the first day, one of Ryou's sets even, and I'd much rather this happen and 'devalue' (pfft) my teo than the whole site close. Doesn't seem like much of a choice??
I can't afford to bid but I hope this all works out...

J.A.K. (#15) also, since folks are whingeing about extra uses- it means we for sure need a 4 hour "No bids if you've not bid on this before/within the last 8 hours" shield of some sort...
Because people are STEALING money from you by "refusing to spend more than they absolutely have to". :/
Last min sniping of Xaocs and other high ticket items meant a good 300+ usd lost last time, and I'm seeing the same sentiment expressed now.

Fannish (FreeFlier) (#1818) Maybe but there is always the chance it just was not thought of. And I am not suggesting they do it with every set they created. Maybe for the one's who created quite a few sets they could accept the half or one fourth for half the sets they created. While getting full credit for the other half. And for people who created only a few sets do one to two max of the limited amount. And for those with only one or two sets they get full price unless they decide to help by taking a smaller amount. I am not saying to make this a requirement. The fallout would be horrible. I am suggesting each artist think it over on a case by case basis and talk to J.A.K if they are comfortable with it.

I don't think Slash even expected most of the teos to be gone before the first hour of the day.
And as to extra psd uses - some people want to keep certain edits rare, so that's probably why they don't want that to happen. Hence the compliants about extra uses.

Eh, hopefully they will.
I for one am hoping we get some sort of mystery box off the ground, some volunteers are already eager to fill one with PSD uses, etc, so that might help too.

"It was an oversight with the implementation bonus credit and will be rectified if we survive this mistake."
Can someone enlighten me on what this means? ó n ò My english is not bad but apparently not good enough yet.
