Our old thread was getting a bit too bulky!


You can let your phonies go out and explore the world! Please take a look at the official page on the site for more information.


In order to send out your phony, you need to create a piece of art which suggests a specific biome that you're exploring. You can read more about what makes each biome unique here!


This piece of art must be:

-Fullbody, and not reused, traced or done on a base

-Colored

-Showing a background with enough detail to show one of Confibula's biomes

-Including any items your phony is using

-Including every phony on the expedition


Note: A piece of art is only valid for one foraging roll, regardless of the amount of phonies in it, unless items are added to increase the roll number.


You may commission or collaborate for foraging pieces. Whoever posts the comment is the one who receives the loot, but you can make arrangements to divide the loot how you wish afterwards.


You may use art that has been used for other activities provided it meets the requirements. You can only double dip with foraging and another activity, not 2 other activities! Just foraging. (i.e. Breeding and foraging, or schooling and foraging, but not breeding and schooling)


After you have that, fill out this form and reply to the featured comment with it.


ML entry:

Supporting ML entries: (For schooled phonies only) (These phonies must be included in the art to be used)

Buffs and Debuffs: (List the level of buff your school is at, current status effects, or if your phony has a territory in the biome you're foraging in)

Biome:

Art:

Added items/buddy bonuses:

Offering for auto-healing: (You can offer up 5 pebbles or any acceptable item listed in the medical center. In the event your phony is injured, we'll remove that item from your bank instead of giving your phony a debuff. This is optional, you can leave this blank if you don't want to offer anything up.)


And shortly after, we'll roll to find out what your phony found! This can be items, pebbles, eggs, or even other phonies. Your phony can also get injured, poisoned or sick while exploring, so be careful!


If you meet another phony, your phony's stats on its ML entry will come into play. Whoever has the highest perception stat will go first, so if your phony's is higher you'll be able to choose whether to fight, breed or run away from the phony you meet. If their perception is higher, the interaction type will be chosen based on that phony's stats.


After the interaction is chosen, the winner of said interaction will be randomized (but your stats do matter!). You can win pebbles and breeding slots, or you can end up injured, sick or just having lost an opportunity to breed. (Once again, this info is more detailed on the website!)
