The Black Widow's Guild
Rules And FAQ
Rules
Sorry guys / gals, gotta have rules, I hate them too, but some just dont seem to know how to play nicely with others, so here we go....
Hello and Welcome guest!!!
  1. THE ONLY THING I ASK OF MY MEMBERS is to accept or reject Gifts I send you within Neopet's 48 hours time frame from your Item Event Log. To receive gifts, respond to guild mailers, or Check the Guild's game page for other events.

  2. This is a Donation Free Guild!! I do not accept nor encourange donations. Truth be told I frown on anyone giving Me a donation for the Guild! All Avatar Items are purchased by Myself, Aangelwthhorns13, Pcx4me2, or Squames. If you wish to contribute to the lending program please send me a neomail! ~ _the_last_phoenix_

  3. This Guild is designed for people who DO NOT want to be bugged, (hence the Spiders) by other members. Several people in this Guild use it as a cover, So they will not be bothered by invites, pushy Guilds, or have to Create their own. Members are not allowed to beg other members to chat on the Guild's boards. Members may not Neomail other members to beg for help, chat, Items, etc. UNLESS the member has posted anywhere on the guild You may Neomail them, or If you know the Member will not mind...etc. If you Want to Neomail a Member, but are unsure of their feelings on this matter please Neomail _the_last_phoenix_ BEFORE sending any Neomails!

  4. Guild Boards. Please no Spamming. Multiple posts in a row are Ok!! As long as your posting something different, or chatting and want to add something. THAT IS FINE WITH ME!! :) You will notice I post multiple posts in a row on the boards. What I mean by spamming is posting "come to my shop!" Post Your shop with Discretion. Once a day if the boards are slow, Or if the same people are in there. No one wants to read about your shop every 20 minutes. If you want a link to Your shop posted on the Guild Mall page Send _the_last_phoenix_ a neomail. If your unsure about Spamming, or have Questions or concerns please Send _the_last_phoenix_ a Neomail. NOTE: POSTING FOR QUEST HELP IN THE BOARDS IS ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED!!!! :) We all need a little help from time to time! :)
    please note, when Pcx4me2 comes back to win her games you cannot post multiple times in a row! :)

  5. If you wish to start a program, Neomail _the_last_phoenix_ and we'll chat!! I will make sure It is do-able. Please note, I will put you in charge of the program you Create! Unless You don't want to, and I think I can handle the extra work! :) ** I cannot handle anything extra right now... So if you want a program started at the guild, and I approve it, you will have to run it yourself, or find someone within the guild willing to do it for you!

  7. All your pets are in the Pet of the Month when I send you your welcome letter. If you did not get a welcome letter please Neomail _the_last_phoenix_

  8. IF you have not been sighted on Neopets for longer than 250 days I will delete you from the guild. You can rejoin at any time though! My thinking is, If you have not been on in almost a year, you have probably forgotten your Login and PW by now! SPECIAL NOTE: This DOES NOT MEAN you have to be active in the Guild at all. I am refering to how active you are on the Neopets site. As long as you log into Neopets every 249 days your status will remain active to me in the guild.

HELP!!!

Services the Guild offers!

  1. I have a Faerie Quest!
    • Your FASTEST way to get help is through the QUEST boards. Look for anyone offering to look items up for you for free. If it says SSW, that means they use the Super Shop Wizard. A premium tool. That is your best bet for the lowest price on the item. Look for a board that says something like "Fast, Free, SSW help." They are usually going to be your best helper! Link to the Quest board: Click Here
    • Post in the Guild's message boards! If someone is in there they will help you! Link: Click Here
    • Send me a Neomail! I am on most every night. If the item is not to much, or I have it in my Safety Deposit Box, I will send it to you free! Neomail Me!
  2. My pet is sick!!!
    • The fastest cheapest way to cure a sick pet is the healing faerie. Go every 30 minutes until she says "your neopet has been fully healed!" Click to go to faerie.
    • Check with the Guild Pharmacy. If the item you need for the cure is in there, and the Faerie is taking forever, Send me a neomail. Link to the Guild's Pharmacy: Click here

    • Matron: In order to acheive this rank within the guild I have to know you very, very, very well! We are talking, I pretty much have to know you in real life. There are exceptions, but not many!
    • Webspinner: Your well liked by me, you talk to me either privately, or in the boards. You can achieve this rank by not really talking to me at all. If you are chatty in the boards, and I see this, or your chatty with another member who is chatty with me, and/or I hear about you a lot I will move you to this rank. This will be the highest rank most of you will go! :)
    • Spiderling: Achieve this rank by being more visable to me. Start neomailing me, or being chatty in the Guild's Boards, Chat to someone who chats to me.. etc.
    • Spawn: This rank means I have sent you your anniversary gifts. This rank also means I have not had enough time to figure out where I want to put you yet! Please be patient! Sometimes I just get busy, or I haven't gotten a feel for you yet! How to move? Talk on the boards more, neomail me, or chat with someone in the guild who chats to me alot! :)
    • Egg: Your NEW! Welcome to the guild! Myself, (Phoenix) or another of my representatives will be sending you a Welcome Letter soon! Come in and look around! We have a lot to offer! :) Have a question? Ask on the guild boards, or neomail _the_last_phoenix_.
  3. How Is the Pet of the Month chosen?
    • Completely random. There is no criteria to be pet of the month. I do not choose the pet. I make whomever I happen to be talking with at the time, choose a series of numbers, which lead me to a name on a list I have. Most of the time the person is not even in the guild at all! You can only be pet of the month once until everyone has had a chance! Or until i decide otherwise!
  4. How Is the Monthly Drawing chosen?
    • How is the monthly Drawing Choosen? I have a sealable plastic hat I put anyone who participates name into as you send me the 10 lesser spotted fish. My Husband then draws one out on the correct day. Click Here For game Rules.

I hope these help!

  1. Pricing Your Shop
    • This is a tricky balancing act.
    • You have to choose your location carefully. I do not suggest you choose Neopia Central. Please note you can change your shop's location from the shop edit page! So Sometimes I will move my shop around. If I am not selling I will change it's location.
    • Check (refresh) the regular Shop Wizard AT LEAST 6-10 times to figure out how to price your item. the Wizard searches one location at a time, and may even search the same location 5 times in a row. So multiple refreshes are needed to get a good idea. Last I knew there were 11 different locations the Shop Wizard will go to to search shops.
    • Those with Premium have the Super Shop Wizard. That Wizard looks up every location on the first try, and gives you the 10 lowest, with links to the shops. But that Shop Wizard Tires Quickly.
    • If you want me to check your shop's pricing with my Super Wizard Just ask me! :) Any premium member can do a "10 lowest prices average" unlimited amount of times. So I can help you get in the 10 lowest range! :) I don't mind doing this for my members! :) Just send me a Neomail saying "Can you please check my shop's prices?" I will reply to you with all your items in your shop, and the price my Wizard came up with for them!
  2. Kimmies Mail never getting full tip:
    • go here: http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=folders
    • Scroll down until you see Create a new folder. that empty box behind it is where you can name your folder.
    • call it "Old Mail" Or something close to that.
    • Hit the "add" button.
    • Now go back to your inbox. anything you want to save for awhile "just in case," click the box to check it, then the drop down menu will now have your "old mail" folder listed. Dump them all in there.
    • This will save your mail 90 days from when it was sent. it will also allow you to "save" everything in that folder if you need to. go back to folders to save them.
    • I dump all my letters into this "old mail" folder i have, unless i need it for other things. for example, monthly trade mails are dumped into my "monthly trades" folder, so they are separated and easy to find later. any neomails i need to save are dumped into my "save these" folder, etc.
    • I have yet to hit a limit on neomail folders. right now i have about 6-8 folders.
    • I am really good at forgetting where i was in conversations with other people it is nice to be able to go back 90 days to see who i was telling what to! plus it keeps my inbox empty since, after i reply to one, i send it to "old mail" folder.

Now that that is over! Come on over the board and Chat with us! Or go snoop around and get comfortable with your new guild home. Can't WAIT to meet you!!
