Just a thought-Forest Actions

One thing that's great from having my own little strip of forest from my backyard, I naturally have deer wander around. Well, I noticed from experience that deer stomp the ground with one of their front hooves when feeling uneasy/threatened, or issuing a warning to the other animal to "get lost". I think this would be an interesting thing to add to the forest actions. But please note, what I am referring to is different from pawing the ground, the stomp the deer use has no scraping motion on the ground. Also, it is already widely understood as a motion meaning "come here" or similar uses, which obviously is different from "go away". So using paw ground to show this emotion would likely cause confusion.

I have also thought of having a bucking/kicking action added, simply because I think it would comply well with the rearing action.

Of course I don't seriously expect these to be made forest actions, for they come across as violent or intimidating. This could cause problems in terms of keeping the forest in its sense of tranquility, which I understand, so no need to really point it out to me. I just found it worth a shot since I have seen it occur several times before with living deer. Also, as the forest's community expands and already, is very creative in their Role Play, I think these actions might very well come in handy.

I also know that Michael and Auriea are under pressure enough already, between budget, servers, and so forth. So I'm not trying to push this idea too hard. I just think its worth wondering about =)

Also, I would like to encourage ideas from people who have deer in their area, because I think observing them and picking up things from their behavior will let the community be able to bring great new things to the forest. <3333

Officially Left DeviantART

Hey gang,

I have officially left DeviantART. The last journal entry that I had left up there provided a link to where I now have my art. This journal is now a year old, so those of you who know me there have probably known where to go for awhile now.

In case you're interested in seeing where my art now lives, go here: http://www.vinovas.com/en/portfolio/Shadowfire

As you may know, I am in graduate school. This is totally different from undergraduate college where you show up to class, do your work, and get a grade. Graduate school is much more than that. In my field (human factors), I have to publish research and do labwork in addition to coursework, and graduate coursework is much more difficult than undergraduate coursework. I'm not trying to scare anyone off getting a Master's or a PhD, but I want you to understand how much of my time it takes. It is not just a "job." It's my life[, and my success in my field in contingent upon my giving everything I have to my work. This means making sacrifices and prioritizing, and I really need simplicity in my life where I can find it.

I'm not leaving TEF, so don't panic. I still love this interactive program. Smiling

Spelldata, Help please!

So I've been sent some spelldata from Mikuru (thanks again) and I'm sitll not quite sure how to make it work.
I've tried creating folders, opening it with Spelldata, saving and restoring many different sets and still no luck.

On my computer I'm using Windows Vista/Windows xp or something...I'm not sure. But It's not Windows 7.
I have been trying to move the spelldata all morning and everytime I log into the forest I'm still just a 'naked' deer. D:
There was a read-me but it's just very confusing and I can't find any of the files people mention to me to look at.
Is it even possible to use Spelldata on my type of computer? =/ the make is fairly new.

If it isn't would someone be able to cast the Zombie set on me somehow? ^^;

(Been trying this for two days now, it just will NOT paste. )

Thankyou Talla, for having a lot of fun with Lani. You are very sweet, and very shy! But also very cute!

Thanks for the advice on approaching shy minis, Solaya!

Please Read

Sorry If I sound like a whining brat or something it's just that.
Every time I post something most of the time people just ingore it. It's kind of frustrating when I've spent ages writing something then It just gets ignored.
I don't mean to like...try and get everyone to read my posts or force you to. I just felt like saying this.
I'm not planning to leave or anything because of this, I love TEF. Everyone usually seems friendly and I love reading all the poetry and looking at the art and stuff.

Important :/

Okay.
I'm not sure where to start.

I love TEF so much it's not even funny. So much that it's all I want to do and thus spend as much time on it as I can. But my parents really don't like that I'm avoiding social contact to be here, and so they've heavily restricted my time not only on TEF but on the whole computer. I can't draw or do anything past a single hour.
I can't do ANYTHING in an hour.
I hate to sound like a spoiled brat, but I find it not only really unfair to me, but also for you - for those of you I'm roleplaying with, playing offspring/foster parent with, or interacting regularly so my charries aren't social outcasts.
And I think that's horrible.
So...
I'm leaving TEF.
;n;

You might find me on dA, but I'm not that active there anymore. I can't really be active anywhere with only an hour per day.
Oh kjfksdfksf I'm going to miss you guys ,__________,
Goodbye...
<3
