Anime Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Due to a combination of lag and downtime and the fact that the chains are the smallest I have ever seen them, the February pet chains are being pushed back to March. People in these chains will receive notice via NM when the site is available. Hopefully this month will hold the last wave of downtime and we can continue as normal after this. Please feel free to apply for the chains regardless! We've had very few people applying of late. Encourage your friends to join TDN and enter the chains- it is, after all, a free service! hrtbrk, Xepha and Mouseykins 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeyrCat Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yay! That means I have time to get my post count up to something that reflects my account age and activity! Seriously though. I'm an aged account, experienced player, but was never a huge forum goer. I do have significant collateral. I see on the FAQ that you need 25 posts. Would there be a way to wave that if the rest of my account (and my collateral) is up to par? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 For pet lending, we don't accept any type of collateral, so that won't be a factor in the lending chains. 25 posts is the absolute minimum, so anyone who doesn't meet that requirement will be automatically rejected. The base requirement for pet lending is 25 posts and 150 avatars. If any member does not meet those requirements, they are not eligible for pet lending. After those requirements are met, the higher your avatar count, the fewer posts are required. Likewise, the higher your post count, the fewer avatars you are required to have.

Anime Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thank you for that beautifully worded explanation. :)As to why we don't accept collateral, which is usually the next question for this sort of thing, TNT does not allow pets to be traded for NP, and collateral for pets would be considered a pet for NP trade, even if it was made with the intent of everything being returned. The only thing we'd be able to accept within the rules is other pets- and we outright do not have room to house a pet for each person in the lending chains each month. So we use the avatar and post system as a way to measure how invested you are in your account and in TDN- if you have a lot of avatars, it's an easy indicator that you've invested a lot of time into your account (trophies, while also good, are harder to get an accurate reading from from numbers alone as they all require different dedication, and fancy pets can be traded for) and if you have a lost of posts, it shows us that you've interacted with the other members and are (hopefully) less likely to take these opportunities from others. This is also why we check member notes for any major infractions.
