Which was totally not the look I was going for, but whatever.

So I think we should also try to mind-duplicator machine.

hey stop nominating me for things

We as in Trisphee... not you and I.

Ashy, make us all these fancy machines! FASTER!

but i gotta be at university today T_T

make them while you're in class. >.>

but im too busy writing up a business proposal T_T

Donated another 10 bucks.

I am probably blind and missed it, but how long is this donation going on for?

The drive ends April 25th

Ah okay so I still have some time to get munnies in D:

The four extra items in the Bundle 2, I was curious to the progress of these items. I'm sorry if that came out wrong, I'm just curious to know. x3

One should be out soon and actually 2 of them are in the bundle already, its only missing the Bakeneko and the Samurai set not.

Yes.. Let the samurai be out and in my hands.. I WANT THOSE SWORDS *w*

Hold your horses xD. I'm working on them tonight... mm..bad lightbulb..*goes to steal a lamp from another room*

DK wants the bakeneko *w*

*grabby hands*

Oooh! Can I watch! =O
I'm practicing pixeling/CG art.. Ing.. myself now, and I need to watch a pro at work ;D

Wh...
what's that teddy bear item that Kamikazee is wearing?? O3O

I believe its a pose of the donation item Ursei, but can't confirm that since I don't have said item.

Gozed is correct! It is from Ursei.

Maybe some other time? xD;;; I don't have much left to do on the samurai, unless I get the coloring duties on it.

I feel like I'm offending everyone all the time, but I just noticed right now that the item 'Samurai' is misspelled in the first post. o 3o

Fixed, I should have both items out sometime within the next few days. They will definitely both be up by the 15th :3 I think I will extend the japan shop until the 30th so people have time to get them.

YAY! Items are a commin!

Or orr orrrrrr.. You can have them up until the end of May =O

That can't work since we need to get started on some other things. The idea of Fen leaving them up a little longer is putting some other things a bit behind right now.

I guess you would have to explain to me exactly how leaving them up would delay things.

I'm sorry to hear that they would, though.

Likewise... I can see you would want to get rid of them so you can donate the money and get it over with ect. But.. How does leaving them delay, like anything?

More or less it kinda hurting normal donations for the site.

Because right now trisphee funds for itself are taking a huge toll. We cant pay for our own stuff if were giving all the money elsewhere. While this sounds selfish and what not we havent actually made anymore money than normal from the japan things we just promised it all to japan and now were struggling ourselves. Leaving these up is great for Japan yes and gets them money but if I don't take them down this month I may end up promising Japan money that is really needed to pay Trisphee bills. I have taken a huge risk for Trisphee leaving them up as is because this far this month has been very painful for financially and we are barely squeezing by.

Can't you just say "We are closing 'Donations' on April 30th but will continue have the items available until May 30th."

Wouldn't that seem a bit deceitful to use items made for donations to Japan to make money for Trisphee?

That's what I was thinking, too.

I agree with Fen on that also.

I'm sure the items will be in the Merchant Square for awhile, and with the date set to 30th you still have 17 more days to get them.

Hmmmmm, maybe make items like you did for Japan, but specifically for Trisphee. Not saying do a Japanese theme to raise money, but maybe take a poll of the community and see what kind of items we would like, and do it like you did for Japan. Have all the separate items and the two bundles like you have now. Obviously we love these items and want to spend money on it, so if you do something similar, but directly for Trisphee, your money might go up.

After staring at that picture in your siggy for like 5 minutes, I finally understand it. owo;

As for your idea, it sounds good, I'd just worry about users not wanting so many Rune items. O:

People might not so many Rune items, which is true, but if the items are so freaking awesome like they are with Japan, they won't even bat an eye about it being for Runes and will donate. With these items and if you guys decide to explain that the site is struggling, you can guilt trip your way into money. Trust me, I have a Jewish mother.

Hm...
okay what if...
Just thinking out loud here...
along with the regular monthly DIs you release a limited time themed bundle item. And by that, I mean a bundle item that contains a collection of the same items, like...
one month, a themed bundle of bottom items (like all socks/stockings, or all pants, or all shoes)
the next a themed bundle of all plushies
the next a themed bundle of all hats, etc etc
Items that are more elaborate than commons, but not as elaborate as DIs. Like...special one-time-only commons, pretty much.
Not too many per bundle, five or less. Make them a wee bit more in runes, like maybe 30/40 runes.

Of course this idea isn't feasible until there are more artists, but it's somethin to think about for the future

it doesn't even have to be every month, it can be during special times.
I've never seen a place do that, and it seems like it'd be kind of cool ... like, a specialty shop that opens up once in awhile or something.

I wouldn't feel right guilt tripping users into giving money, which is why we don't talk about it much. If it gets bad enough we will have a drive for Trisphee.
