Broken antlers? O: I didn't

Broken antlers? O: I didn't know there was such.

How do you tell what generation a deer is by the picto? o.o

I thought your picto was the one in the middle! Wait, er.... WHA? xD *confused fail*

@ SilverBells ~ Never fear,

@ SilverBells ~ Never fear, for I shall explain! XD From what I understand, the deer in the game only went through one dramatic change between version updates. Much earlier on, the deer that you play as had grey-ish coats, different faces (they actually looked a little "older") and broken antlers. I believe that that was the default look for the naked deer, but now of course they look much different.

Only people who made pictos before the major update and are playing on the older version of the game can appear as the original default deer in-game. The one lying down is nameless, I think, because that picto belongs to one of my characters. The one standing is definitely a named player. The one on the very left with the mask is my Ishibaba, but he is a new generation deer; he just happens to have the "long" pelt, which is part of a set and not a default. c:

So, in short, you can pick out a first generator deer by their picto if you recognize its form (first generation pictos look much different from the new set of pictos; new sets are made for about every 50,000 new players). It is much easier to tell, however, if the deer happens to be naked, or in its default set in which you can see its pelt, face and broken antlers. I hope this all makes sense! c:

Actually, let me clear up the confusion...

I think the server glitched when you took that screenshot. Those two "old" deer seem to have second generation pictograms, which are unplayable in any version before 3.31. Normally, if someone plays version 1 of the game, they'll show up as that old deer to everyone but themselves. To themselves, they'd just look like the regular brown "default" deer. I'd say they were people playing that version, but with those pictos, I don't think they are. Unless they're nameless deer appearing with pictos (it's a glitch that can happen).
It's funny when that happens, though. Were there any floating mask deer around too? Laughing out loud

Aw, man... I was hoping that

Aw, man... I was hoping that it wouldn't be a glitch, but it's definitely a possibility. Nothing else was out of the ordinary, though; no floating masks or anything. I was a little confused about the pictograms as well, but I was not playing when they were around so I'm not an expert on old pictos, haha. XD;

I sometimes have trouble telling the generation of a picto myself, and all but a few of my pictos are first gen. XD;

@_____@ All this stuff can be

@_____@ All this stuff can be so confusing. So... Like I could have more than one picto? One for each character? Because the picto in your icon is certainly not the same one I normally see you with in the forest.

Also, how do I make a bio for my deer? When I was doing trades people linked me these pages that described their deer. lol I want one!

And THANK YOU for explaining. xD

Haha, I know it can be

Haha, I know it can be confusing; I was in your position when I first started playing a few weeks ago! c: A pictogram, to put it simply, is a username. You can register as many pictograms, or usernames, as you'd like; each one represents a different deer character. Most players have a main deer, or main character, and thus they use their main character's pictogram as a representation of themselves in the community (like me, even though I do not play as Uruu much).

As for bios, they are pretty simple to make as long as you know basic CSS coding. Unplugged wrote an excellent blog addressing basic CSS, and is certainly worth a read if you're new to it. She has also written other articles about other types of coding that you can use in your bios, and you can also look up basic tutorials online. However, your bios don't have to be intricate; it can just be as simple as text with a couple of pictures thrown in. I hope this helps! ^_^

Where would I go to get other

Where would I go to get other pictos? How would you pick the one you wanted when you signed into the forest? Is it from a menue of sorts?

And where do I go to make a bio, in my blog or something?

Thank you for the answers. X____X

To register a new picto, you

To register a new picto, you go to this site and cycle through the pictos until you find the one that you want. Fill out the information, and then when registered check your e-mail for an activation link. Click it, and you can now log into your new picto! To do this, start up TEF and hit Escape. Then, click Network and log in with the name you registered under for the new picto. You should then be able to log in to your new deer! c: You can log out and log back in as other deer that you've registered from this same menu.

As for the bio, look at the left sidebar on the site. There will be a section that says SilverBells. Beneath it should be a link that says Create new > Blog entry. Click that, and from there you can make your bio! c:

AHAHAHAAA! Aren't you a

AHAHAHAAA! Aren't you a helpful stinker? xD Thank you so much. I've just got a new picto for Blue Bird! The picto in my icon is going to be for my original deer, Brehach, and I'll use the new one for Blue Bird. I'll edit my icon to have both pictos though, because it's just handy. Lol So now, to wait for him to become a stag. -____- So I’ll be playing as Brehach for a while, with my original icon, simply because I never liked being a fawn. xD *shot*

And sometime I shall make bios for mah deers. ^3^

And I have a character, Silver Bells' mate, who is a white deer. Sooo... If I downloaded the 3.1 version to be able to get the white pelt kinda like the red one, could I still log in there with Brehach and Blue bird even though they're 3.4? And would I have two separate versions of the game on my computer then? Like two separate desktop icons? Or would both of them be under one?

Thanks Liam!

Lol, why thank you! XD

Lol, why thank you! XD Huzzah! I liked being a fawn, but I can see how playing as a fawn more than once can be frustrating. Permanent sets are just so much better! =P

Hm... I am no expert, but I am very sure that if you get a permanent devout or red pelt in 3.31 you cannot switch it over to 3.4 since those glitches were fixed in the new version. I could be wrong, though. I think it's possible to have the two different versions on your computer at once, but I don't know if you can run them at the same time. I can run two instances of TEF myself, so in that case I guess it's possible. c:

You are most welcome, hun! ♥
