CCSF 2014 Day 8: An Ettin's Paradise!   KittyTikara | 12/5/2014discuss  4 comments  4  log in to like post  4

An Ettin's Paradise!The holiday sprit of Sheemas is strong this year! Ylukyun and Mea have started a new community project, Bibble Baubles! It's a Christmas inspired patch plant were you get to help design the decorations, much like the Eggstravaganza one from earlier this year. Check out their news post here for more details.

Today's releases are perfect for people who love Ettins or neat dispensers! First there's two packs of Creatures from Mea's sixth Feral Run. Both of them were raised around the techno-organic carrots, but one run failed while another survived! The next is an interesting dispenser from Ylukyun, the Windows XP Vendor! I can't get enough of sounds it makes, it reminds me of my old XP machine. The last release is the Standard Chamleon Ettins from Kezune! These colorful Ettins are a colortrue version of the old Chameleon Ettins by Norngirl.

Ron is currently helping himself to some Windows XP food, but he still has the next verse to the Sheemas song:
"On the fifth day of Sheemas Master Shee sent to me
Five Gold Gadgets
Four Singing Portals
Three Musicolas
Two Clapping Hands
and Some Ettins from Old Albia!"

The colorful Chameleon Ettins are related to Ron's question of the day: Why did the Shee create Ettins?

Releases:
One pack who survived a nearly fatal run from Mea!
Another pack who seemingly thrived in the same fatal run!
A wonderful Windows XP Vendor from Ylukyun!
A colorful and cute Chameleon Ettin breed from Kezune!
 
CCSF 2014 Day 7: Plums and Norns Galore!   KittyTikara | 12/4/2014discuss  comment  log in to like post  3

Plums and Norns Galore!Today's news post might be a bit short, but there certainly isn't a shortage of releases! As you probably already know, day 7 usually marks the half-way point for a normal CCSF. Not for CCSF 2014 though! Thanks to the downtime, and the "12 Days of Sheemas" song, there's a whole extra day! Today's releases can help us celebrate this not-halfway day celebration. Between the new Bouncing Plums from Mea and Laura, and the Creatchitrue Norns from Ylukyun, it's sure to be a popular party! Not to mention Mea also has two packs of Creatures. Just be sure to watch your pet grazers, they might be carnivorous! Last, but certainly not least, there's an adorable Siamese drawing by Magpie-angel!

Ron has the next verse to the Sheemas song "12 Days of Sheemas":

"On the fourth day of Sheemas Master Shee sent to me
Four Singing Portals
Three Musicolas
Two Clapping Hands
and Some Ettins from Old Albia!"

Magpie-angel's picture got Ron thinking again, and he realized that he doesn't know where the Siamese Norn come from! So his question of the day is: How, and or where, did the Lone Shee find the Siamese Norns? (Also a hint for yesterday's trivia question, try searching for music on the wiki.)

Releases:
The start of Mea's six run for the CCSF!
An extra pack from Mea's sixth run!
A cute picture of a Siamese Norn by Magpie-Angel!
A pack of colorful Bouncing Plums from Mea and Laura!
The Creatchitrue Norns by Ylukyun!
 
CCSF 2014 Day 6: A Musical Interlude!   KittyTikara | 12/3/2014discuss  6 comments  6  log in to like post  4

A musical interlude!The music in the Creatures games has always been sort of forgettable for me. I don't really remember the music from C1 or C3, though I do like the music when I'm playing them. The music in Docking Station is either terrible or okay. The hub music sounds like whale songs, and it's the main reason I play DS with the music turned off. The only song I like from it is the one that plays in the Meso. Creatures 2 has the best music from the main games, and I love it. Strangly enough, I like the music from the PS1 games the best, and I often listen to it when playing around with genetics.

Today's releases aren't very musical, but they are very cute! There's one pack of Norns from Mea, which are from the same run as yesterday. The second pack is from Allekha and the Norn in it are generation 240! The last release for today is a Chocolate Rose patch plant from Kezune and TrellyDawn!

Ron has been enjoying some Creatures 2 music today, and he also has the third verse to the Sheemas song:
"On the third day of Sheemas Master Shee sent to me
Three Musicolas
Two Clapping Hands
and Some Ettins from Old Albia!"

The music got him thinking about different things like musical Norns and singing cheese. So today's question is: Was there ever a musical Creature? (Feel free to submit answers from past questions! The last day to submit all of the answers is December 12th.)

Releases:
A pack of tough, old Norns from Mea!
A pack of Wolflings from Allekha!
Some yummy Chocolate Roses from TrellyDawn and Kezune!
 
CCSF 2014 Day 5: A Handy Group of Shees!   KittyTikara | 12/2/2014discuss  4 comments  4  log in to like post  5

A Handy Group of Shees!Everyone give another hand to Rascii for fixing the site, and to the community in general! The CCSF has been going on for 10 years now, and that's no small thing. The community has survived major sites closing down and Ettins stealing everyone's gadgets for years. There is wiki pages being updated, new breeds being made, new metarooms and worlds being made, and new people joining the community. It just goes to show that everyone here has hand in making this a truly amazing community!

Today's releases are also really amazing, like always! There is a colorful pack of Norns from Mea. She also has a nice thank you picture for Rascii and anyone who helped him fix the site! There's the agent that inspired today's little theme, the Hands Off agent from Kezune!

Some more good news from Ron! He has moved all of his presents and he has the second verse to the Sheemas song:
"On the second day of Sheemas Master Shee sent to me
Two Clapping Hands
and Some Ettins from Old Albia!"

He also has an interesting question for today: What was CCSF 2011's theme? (As always, the answer can be found on the Creatures Wiki and please PM me your answer!)

Releases:
A "Great Big Thank You" picture from Mea!
A pack of Norns from Mea!
The Hands Off agent from Kezune!
 
CCSF 2014 Day 4: A Nornish Christmas of Sorts!   KittyTikara | 12/1/2014discuss  7 comments  7  log in to like post  10

A Nornish Christmas of Sorts!Guess what's been fixed? The site! A huge thank you goes to everyone for waiting patiently, to Rascii, and everyone who helped him find the bugs. Without your patience and help finding the bugs, the site would still be a mess and the CCSF would still be delayed.

As most of you know, the Creatures Caves host switched from PHP 4 to PHP 5 and this broke most of the site. Uploading agents or adoptions was impossible and I couldn't come up with a decent alternative. So the CCSF was put on hiatus until the site was fixed. The majority of the site is back to normal, and the CCSF can continue! Since the holiday season is so close, I couldn't help but change a few things.

The rest of this year's CCSF will run from December 1-12th. So that means there will be 15 days to this years CCSF, instead of the 14 that I origionally had planned. The rest of the days will have a "12 Days of Sheemas" theme that ties each day's release together instead of it being a random theme. The releases for each day were already grouped around a certian theme, so that hasn't changed much. The contests also haven't changed. They will still run like normal, and the dates for them have already been decided. If you're still confused, then please either post a comment on here or on the CCSF news thread!

And finally today's releases are: two wonderful packs of Norns from Mea, a new Ettin breed from Ylukyun, and a C1toDS metaroom showcase also from Ylukyun! Sadly, Ron doesn't have a question today as he's too busy moving present. He does have something else though! It's the first verse to an old Nornish holiday song called "12 Days of Sheemas. The first verse goes a bit like this:

"On the first day of Sheemas Master Shee sent to me
Some Ettins from Old Albia!"

CCSF Update Cliffnotes:
The CCSF was down because uploading submissions was impossible, but now it's back!
The rest of the CCSF will run from December 1-12!
Contests entries are now due December 10th!
There will be a small "12 Days of Sheemas" theme that ties the rest of the releases together!

Releases:
A pack of Grendels and old Ettins from Mea!
The Doge Ettins from Ylukyun!
A C1toDS Metaroom Showcase written by Ylukyun!
 
CCSF 2014 Day 3: A Quirky Day!   KittyTikara | 11/3/2014discuss  2 comments  2  log in to like post  6

A Quirky Day!Happy Quirky Day! It's a (totally not made up holiday) that is celebrated by eating quirky cookies. It just so happens that one of today's released is a new quirky cookie pack created by Ylukyun! In case you feel like sharing your cookies, you can give savannahs11's spliced Norns a few! There's also a hungry group of Ettins from Mea who would love to help you make the new cookies. They might just steal them though.

Ron's question of the day is sort of related to edible things: Which species of Ettin is named after a type of food? Like all of the questions, the answer can be found on the Wiki!

Community Events:
The main CCSF site has been updated!

CCSF 2014 Day 2: Planet Feral Run!   KittyTikara | 11/2/2014discuss  comment  log in to like post  4

CCSF 2014 Day 2!It's day two and it's a quieter day then yesterday as far as releases go. There's still plenty of wolfling or feral runs going on in the forums though, including a new one. A new C3 wolfling run, The Relaxed Wolfling Run has been created, and it will start on November 4th! The C1 Mystery Feral Run is full and the Norn's have been revealed! The Random Event Run has also been streamed, check out the highlights if you haven't see them yet!

As for the releases, there is two packs of Creatures from Mea and one short story from Allekha called the "Handish Wonderings Triptych!" One of the Creature packs is a random mix of different genetics and breeds that is sure to spice up your gene pool. The other pack is a group of immortals who were the only survivors of their world. The "Handish" short story is actually three different stories that are loosely related to each other. The first one is called "Plane—" and is about a Hand wondering about the Moon. This naturally got Ron, the mascot interested in the different planets and stars in the Creatures series. So today's question is:

We all know that Creatures 1 takes place on Albia, but what is the name of another Creatures planet, the 3D world from Shee legends?

Community events:
A new wolfling run has started, The Relaxed Wolfling Run, and it starts on November 4th!
The last day to submit entries for the C2 Feral Run is today!

Releases:
A pack of Creatures from Mea, who have Grendelish personalities!
A pack of survivors from Mea, who survived a doomed feral run!

CCSF 2014 Day 1: A Nornish Halloween!   KittyTikara | 11/1/2014discuss  comment  log in to like post  10

CCSF 2014 Day 1!Welcome to this year's CCSF! This year's theme is evolution and natural selection and we've certianly followed it this year, between the sifferent releases and CCSF activities. Much like last year we have some wonderful coloring pages, which were created by Mea for the CCSF! Four forum feral/wolfling runs have also been created just in the for the CCSF. Three can still be entered, the Colortrue Ettins wolfling run and Creatures 2 Feral run. There's also two empty spots in the C1 Mystery Feral Run! If you can't get enough of Creatures events, and I know I can't, then there's also this year's contests!

Which brings me to this year's mascot, who's also a part of a contest. This year's mascot is Ron, a decendant of the first Norns! Each day of the CCSF he's going to have a question for you. If you answer all 14 correctly, then you get to take him home with you at the end! Remember to not share the answers though! Today's question is an easy one, Who was the first Norn?

Community events:
* CCSF contests are open and accepting entries!
* CCSF Random Event Run starts soon today!
* C2 Feral Run will start later tonight!

Releases:
* A Halloween-themed Tulu showcase by razander!
* A pack of spooky Zombies from Mea!
* A redone Spam Norn breed by Grendel Man!
* A lovely coloring book from Mea!
