Question:
Does the Order exist to just eggsit for you?

Answer:
Absolutely not. Order of the Rose members do much more than just eggsit. They help with raffles and quicksales, they create and host free games during the holidays, and they help discuss and refine ideas for the whole of Wish Central.

(If you look at the Egg Train, every member that posts their egg codes in the guild area has their codes in the Egg Train, sometimes, people do not always post their codes, and that effects the Egg Train as well since I keep it clean of hatchlings.)

Question:
What do you do with the creatures the Order members send to you for Wish Central?

Answer:
I mainly place them into the WC Fundraisers tab in my Keep, for future raffles, quicksales, (and possibly games as well, if there's a large enough number of them to allow that.)

Question:
What do you do with all that gold you get through the Raffles? Do you keep it for yourself?

Answer:
I split the entire amount in half after the Raffle is closed to ticket purchasing, and send half of it straight to GamingGal, the original creator of Wish Central. I use the other half (hidden away in a trade to keep from accidentally spending it) to assist her in fulfilling wishes when she is on Hiatus' for school, and I save up the gold to fulfill some of the larger, more impossible wishes.

Question:
I love your crest, and I've seen it on several peoples' profiles! Why do we have to ask your permission to use the crest, banners, userbar, and button for The Order Of The Rose? Why can't we just use them?

Answer:
It makes it easier for me to see just by looking at their profiles and signatures exactly who is in the Order and who isn't. I don't restrict the usage to be mean, I just do it so that I can see everything more clearly. This way, I don't accidentally add people to the Member list that do not wish to be. (It also keeps me from sending mass PM updates to the wrong people.)

Question:
Why can't non-members post in The Order Of The Rose Guild thread?

Answer:
The Guild thread is just there so that the Order members can converse without constant mass PMs, (and since Magistream non-Donators cannot send Mass PMs, it just makes things more convenient than sending out lots of individual PMs to the entire member list.) It's just an easy way for us to communicate, and if people just pop in saying things completely off topic, it might keep the current conversation from continuing. It basically keeps people from being distracted easily, (like I am. Once I'm distracted, I forget what I was going to say...)

Question:
When I eggsit, can I use Daycare threads such as the Temple Nursery (or other Daycare threads), and still have it count toward my ticket total?

Answer:
It's fine as long as I see you posting them in regular click threads as well. You may also use twitter if you'd like, to speed things up. **IMPORTANT NOTICE: in order to post in the Daycare/Temple Nursery Threads, you MUST take the Crest, Usernames and all writing out of the post before posting the codes! Always double check this before posting!**

Question:
How do I count my egg total? Before they hatch, or after?

Answer:
You count them while they're still eggs since the hatchies will be removed as soon as possible to keep everything a little neater. If you want your hatchies to continue growing after that, post the codes into daycare threads.

I will add to this list as more questions arise from the Magistream Community.

Also, to answer some questions sent to me, yes, the tickets are currently counted at 8 tickets per egg hatched, and that includes all of your eggslots, plus any eggs that are posted by other members of the Order whether they are for Wish Central, or not (as long as they are in the code train at the bottom of this post.) You are helping Wish Central with games and organizing, and generally keeping me from going insane, so the least I can do is toss in a few extra tickets for eggsitting. Just don't do any repeat codes (yes, I check this, so no sneaky sneaking.) Oh, and hatchies are removed whenever possible, so don't count them. If the critters are meant for Wish Central, just toss them into a trade, and when you get to about 40 or more of them, send the trade.
