<br />
=====Consequences=====<br />
Users who break the rules continously will be assigned a gag role, which will revoke their messaging privileges throughout the server. Gags will be removed after the admin team agrees that enough time has passed for the user to learn their lesson. Any future rule-breaking after a gag may result in a permanent ban. Members who are banned will be unable to rejoin the server.<br />
<br />
The moderation team of the Creature Community Discord Server undertake a monthly "prune" to kick user accounts from the server that have not been active for thirty days. Members can also request moderators kick any old user accounts they may have created, but are warned not to abuse this feature by kicking active accounts, otherwise they will be banned.<br />
<br />
=====Trivia=====<br />
* The server was known simply as "Creatures Community" up until November 26 2017, when it was rebranded "The Norn Nebula" after C-Rex's blog of the same name.<br />

[[Category:Chat]]</div>Laurahttps://creatures.wiki/index.php?title=Laura&diff=53942Laura2017-12-12T22:23:25Z<p>Laura: 2017 Update</p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:Laura's-treehugger-norn-icon.png|left]]<br />
'''Laura''' '''Valentine''' entered the [[Creatures Community]] in mid-2003, long after being introduced to the wonderful world of [[Albia]] in 1997. At first, she did not take to the series. When her mother offered to buy her [[Creatures 1]] at a local games store, she declined. It was only her mother’s insistence that won her over, and two weeks later, she was shamefully hooked. Since then, Creatures and its community has become a valuable part of her life, with [[Creatures 1]] and [[Creatures 2]] being her favourites. While she doesn't often play these days, the community keeps her involved and she loves every minute of it. <br />
<br />
Within the community, Laura is the co-administrator on [[Creatures Caves]] and the resident agony aunt for the [[Ask Laura]] advice column. Previously, she was a moderator at [[Albia2000]], before it succumbed to spam bots. She was also regular in [[JRChat]] and in response to its shutdown, has created [[CC Chat]], a new chat for community members to talk about the Creatures series or just have a good natter!<br />
<br />
Back in 2004, Laura worked alongside [[HuffaMoose]], [[AquaShee]] and [[Nornagon]] to create [[Encyclopedia Creaturica]]. However, the project had been developed in secret, and subsequently the [[Creatures Wiki]] was launched before the website could be unveiled.<br />
<br />
Outside of the community, Laura enjoys gaming, reading and playing the piano. She currently lives with her fiancé and is excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first child. As of December 2017, Laura is taking a break from her regular involvement in the community to focus on preparing for motherhood. However, she will be occasionally visiting [[The Norn Nebula (Discord Server)]] to say hello!<br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
[[File:Ccchat2.jpg|right]]'''CC Chat''' (Creatures Community Chat) is a PG-rated IRC channel for the Creatures Community. It was founded by [[Laura]] and [[Spook]] in May 2010.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
*On May 31st 2010, [[Laura]] and [[Spook]] collaborated to create ''Creatures Chat'', a PG-rated IRC channel for the [[Creatures Community]]. Laura made the channel, while Spook provided the hosting for a web chat applet on his personal blog.<br />
<br />
*On February 29th 2013, CC Chat hosted a live Q&A session with [[Andrea Di Stefano]] and Samuel Languy about Creatures Online, from 7 PM (GMT). A transcript was published after the event.<br />
<br />
*As of July 9th 2014, CC Chat is hosted by its own server, CreaturesChat. Previously, it was hosted by Mibbit, WyldRyde, and then AlphaChat/AthemeNet.<br />
<br />
==Connecting to CC Chat==<br />
In order to make it more central, CC Chat is linked from these pages:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.webpetz.com/creatures/ccchat.php AmberCreatures]<br />
*[http://ghostfishe.net/bbw/chat.php?w=1024 Breeders Beware]<br />
* [https://creatureschat.com Creatureschat.com]<br />
* [http://creaturescaves.com/community.php?section=Chat Creatures Caves]<br />
<br />
For those who wish to connect to the chat with their own IRC client, they can join '''''#Creatures''''' on the '''''irc.creatureschat.com''''' server (for SSL users: port 6697).<br />
<br />
===='''Usernames'''====<br />
<br />
To '''register''' your username:<br />
* ''/nick USERNAME''<br />
* ''/msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL''<br />
* ''/msg nickserv identify PASSWORD''<br />
<br />
To '''log in''' with your username:<br />
* ''/nick USERNAME'' (if your username is not correct)<br />
* ''/msg nickserv identify PASSWORD''<br />
<br />
If you use an IRC chat client it should have options to save your log in details instead of typing the commands manually.<br />
<br />
Registered nicknames (including your password) will expire if you do not log into chat for 30 days. Sadly, this is a default IRC setting that we cannot change, so do come back regularly.<br />
<br />
==Channels==<br />
The main channel is ''[http://creatureschat.com/?channels=Creatures #Creatures]'', where most chatters gather, with the ''[http://creatureschat.com/?channels=CreaturesRP #CreaturesRP]'' room for Creatures [[roleplay]].<br />
<br />
To join #CreaturesRP, simply type'' /join #CreaturesRP'' when connected to the server, (or in ''#Creatures'') or click the link above to join the channel via CreaturesChat.<br />
<br />
There were previously other channels, #CreaturesDev for development and #CreaturesInt for international chat, but they were dropped as of July 2012 due to a lack of activity.<br />
<br />
In July 2014, [[SillySina]] started up #creatures-dev for those who want to do some serious "tech talk."<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">[[File:Ccbanner1.gif]]<br><br>[[File:Cchatbutton.gif]] [[File:Button1.gif]] [[File:Button2.gif]] [[File:Button3.gif]]</div><br />
<br />
Any support would be very much appreciated by all of us in CC Chat. By using a banner or a button, not only will you be showing everyone how much you enjoy the chat, but you'll also be helping to encourage new chatters to participate.<br />
<br />
==CC Chat Rules==<br />
In order to make your chatting experience as enjoyable as possible, please abide by these rules while in chat.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Illegal Activity''' ===<br />
<br />
Discussions concerning illegal activities including, but not limited to, the sharing of copyrighted material, files, programs, music, movies, etc. will not be tolerated. This is against CreaturesChat's T.O.S., and the community’s consensus. If you do these activities, that’s between you and the world. Please have some common sense and don’t bring it into chat.<br />
<br />
=== '''Please Respect the Operators''' ===<br />
<br />
Please don't question a Operator’s judgement in the public chat. Most of the time their actions are justified. If you do not agree with what an Operator has done, then please private message Laura (or the Operator involved) for an explanation.<br />
<br />
=== '''Please Adhere to the Channel Rating''' ===<br />
<br />
Text or other content that doesn't suit the PG rating will not be allowed. This includes posting links to such content. If you're uncertain whether something is suitable for chat, please private message one of the Operators for clarification.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Swearing or Rudeness''' ===<br />
<br />
Please do not use offensive words in chat. Any name calling or other disruptive behaviour is also not allowed.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Scrolling or Shouting''' ===<br />
<br />
Scrolling is when someone types line after line of garbage, or excessively long, wrapping lines. "Hiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" can also be considered scrolling. Shouting is when someone types in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. It's okay to emphasize a word every once in a while, but not an entire sentence.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Excessive Nickname Changing''' ===<br />
<br />
When you log into chat with a name, try your best to keep it. Changing it in rapid succession, or to impersonate another chatter, whether as a joke, or just briefly, is not tolerated.<br />
<br />
=== '''Identity Issues''' ===<br />
<br />
Never give out your real name, age, or location in chat; likewise requesting the personal details of other chatters is prohibited. IRC in general is not a safe place to discuss these things. Additionally, you should never discuss your passwords with others.<br />

<div>The [[Creatures series]] of games has had a long and convoluted history. This page is dedicated to it, in particular the events surrounding the companies involved in their creation: [[Millennium]], [[Cyberlife]], [[Creature Labs]], [[Entraline]] and [[Gameware]].<br />
<br />
A good overview from Development Director [[Ian Saunter]] is provided in:<br />
* [http://www.gamewareeurope.com/GWDev/creatures_more.php?id=17_0_6_0_M8 A potted history of Creature Labs and Gameware Development (the official story)]<br />
<br />
More on the relationship between the various companies can be found in:<br />

<br />
Large amounts of this timeline were derived from [http://web.archive.org/web/20050309180843/fp.cyberlifersrch.plus.com/creaturesarchive/creatures_history.htm Steve Grand's notes]. Many thanks to [[Steve Grand|Steve]] for providing this resource to the community!<br />

==Timeline of Events==<br />
''Don't hesitate to fill stuff in - and don't feel you have to restrict yourself to official doings, anything that has interest to the community is fine :-)''<br />
<br />
===Pre-1992===<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Late 1986/Early 1987''': [[Steve Grand]] is inspired by his reading of ''[[wikipedia:The Planiverse|The Planiverse: Computer Contact With a Two-Dimensional World]]'' ([http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0387989161/ Amazon UK], [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0387989161/ Amazon US]; at time of writing, probably a lot cheaper to buy from the US!) and suggests [[Creatures]] to his employers as an educational game - but there is no interest<br />
*'''1988''': [[Millennium]] is founded by [[Michael Hayward]], [[Tony Beckwith]], [[Ian Saunter]] and one other - they remain for a few months in Michael's house before moving to a local science park; [[Steve Grand]] remembers suggesting [[Creatures]] again (although Ian has no memory of this, so perhaps this was to his old employers)<br />
*'''1990''': [[Millennium]] release Hoverforce, Horror Zombies from the Crypt and Thunderstrike<br />
*'''1991''': [[Millennium]] release Virtual Reality, Volume 2, Stormball, The Adventures of Robin Hood and James Pond 2: Codename: RoboCod (which makes a return 12 years later as [[James Pond: RoboCod]])<br />
<br />
===1992===<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''1992''': [[Millennium]] release Cyber Empires, The Aquatic Games, Daughter of Serpents, Global Effect and Rome AD 92<br />
:''[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]: I remember Global Effect! Great game!''<br />
*'''September 1992''': [[Creatures]] is 'officially' conceived, although it will take years to develop fully into the game we know today. From [[Tips.txt]]:<br />
:''The initial ideas for this project were conceived on a motel balcony in Winthrop, WA, USA in September 1992.''<br />
*'''4 November 1992''': [[Steve Grand]] writes [http://web.archive.org/web/20050312005250/fp.cyberlifersrch.plus.com/creaturesarchive/initialpitch.htm A Mouse for Windows]<br />

*'''1 June 1993''': First available notes from [[Steve Grand|Steve Grand's]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20050312012017/fp.cyberlifersrch.plus.com/creaturesarchive/progdiary.htm programming diary] - very interesting reading<br />
*'''18 July 1993''': [[Steve Grand]] writes the first fragments of a [[Creatures]]-themed novella, [[Wulf's Journey]], creating the first Creatures fiction story over three years before the game was actually released<br />
*'''12 December 1993''': [[Steve Grand]] explains that the mythology is [http://web.archive.org/web/20050312012947/fp.cyberlifersrch.plus.com/creaturesarchive/rationale.htm intended for background purposes], not as an actual plot line:<br />
:''I never intended Creatures to be an adventure game or have a fixed plot at all - the idea was that you would create your own stories . . . But everyone had interpreted my mythography stuff far too literally, and people were trying to make Creatures into some kind of Norse adventure game . . .''<br />
:''[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper's]] thought: '''"Viking Creatures: Norns with Horns!"'''''<br />
<br />
===1994===<br />
<br />
<br />

*'''6 July 1994''': [[Michael Hayward]] decides that the game needs more time to mature and that [[Steve Grand]] should "take the game out of the schedule" (see the [http://web.archive.org/web/20050312012017/fp.cyberlifersrch.plus.com/creaturesarchive/progdiary.htm diary entry])<br />
:''[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]: I think this was a very important decision - without the extra time for correct positioning and reworking, [[Creatures]] would never have been the game it turned out to be. Heck, it was still for DOS back then, and [[bibble]] hadn't even been conceived! :-)''<br />
:It is also interesting to note the features described as possible for the rewrite, many of which would not be fully realized until [[Creatures 3]] or [[Docking Station]]: ''Decided to add 5 months to schedule; more gratuitous graphics; more facial expressions; new norns (monkeylike); everybody’s norn is unique; complete rethink and rewrite of code; add hooks for extensions; allow norns to travel from one person’s system to another, via disc or modem; buy new norns; possible speech in/out.''<br />

*'''Mid-1995''': [[Cyberlife]] agrees a publishing deal with '''Warner Interactive''' and a advance of £1m is paid representing an estimated 200,000 units of sales; in fact, over half a million copies of the [[Creatures]] will eventually be sold, a large proportion overseas<br />
*'''19 July 1995''': [[Creatures]] finally has a complete [http://web.archive.org/web/20050312003958/fp.cyberlifersrch.plus.com/creaturesarchive/designdef.htm design definition] - as with most software development projects, it required actually building most of the program to fully define it . . .<br />

<div>[[File:Laura's-treehugger-norn-icon.png|left]]<br />
'''Laura''' '''Valentine''' entered the [[Creatures Community]] in mid-2003, long after being introduced to the wonderful world of [[Albia]] in 1997. At first, she did not take to the series. When her mother offered to buy her [[Creatures 1]] at a local games store, she declined. It was only her mother’s insistence that won her over, and two weeks later, she was shamefully hooked. Since then, Creatures and its community has become a valuable part of her life, with [[Creatures 1]] and [[Creatures 2]] being her favourites. While she doesn't often play these days, the community keeps her involved and she loves every minute of it. <br />
<br />
Within the community, Laura is the co-administrator on [[Creatures Caves]] and the resident agony aunt for the [[Ask Laura]] advice column. Previously, she was a moderator at [[Albia2000]], before it succumbed to spam bots. She was also regular in [[JRChat]] and in response to its shutdown, has created [[CC Chat]], a new chat for community members to talk about the Creatures series or just have a good natter!<br />
<br />
Back in 2004, Laura worked alongside [[HuffaMoose]], [[AquaShee]] and [[Nornagon]] to create [[Encyclopedia Creaturica]]. However, the project had been developed in secret, and subsequently the [[Creatures Wiki]] was launched before the website could be unveiled.<br />
<br />
Outside of the community, Laura enjoys gaming, reading, playing the piano, drinking copious amounts of tea, and currently works as part of the tech team for her local church.<br />

Looks like you're right! I've [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14570328/Creatures_Montage.mp3 updated the link]. Thanks for noticing. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 15:22, July 9, 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Hi. I'm wondering why edits to [[Creatures Caves]] and [[Laura]] by IP addresses were reverted. They seem to have been (at least the [[Creatures Caves]] one) legitimate edits, and [[User:Laura]] later confirmed (by re-editing) that both were legitimate. [[User:Sgeo|Sgeo]]<sup>([{{SERVER}}{{localurle:User talk:Sgeo|action=edit&section=new}} talk])</sup> 03:26, 21 August 2015 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I haven't the faintest idea. I did edit the Creatures Caves page shortly after Laura announced she was leaving the community, but later returned. I did not edit it any further after that, so I have no idea what is going on. --[[User:C-Rex|C-Rex]] 13:30, 21 August 2015 (EDT)<br />
<br />
To avoid any confusion, these are the edits in question: [https://creatures.wiki/index.php?title=Creatures_Caves&diff=46008&oldid=46006 Creatures Caves edit] [https://creatures.wiki/index.php?title=Laura&diff=46007&oldid=45772 Laura edit] --[[User:Laura|Laura]]</div>Laurahttps://creatures.wiki/index.php?title=Laura&diff=46010Laura2015-08-15T10:31:06Z<p>Laura: </p>

'''Laura''' '''Valentine''' entered the [[Creatures Community]] in mid-2003, long after being introduced to the wonderful world of [[Albia]] in 1997. At first, she did not take to the series. When her mother offered to buy her [[Creatures 1]] at a local games store, she declined. It was only her mother’s insistence that won her over, and two weeks later, she was shamefully hooked. Since then, Creatures and its community has become a valuable part of her life, with [[Creatures 1]] and [[Creatures 2]] being her favourites. While she doesn't often play these days, the community keeps her involved and she loves every minute of it. <br />
<br />
Within the community, Laura is the co-administrator on [[Creatures Caves]] and the resident agony aunt for the [[Ask Laura]] advice column. Previously, she was a moderator at [[Albia2000]], before it succumbed to spam bots. She was also regular in [[JRChat]] and in response to its shutdown, has created [[CC Chat]], a new chat for community members to talk about the Creatures series or just have a good natter!<br />
<br />
Back in 2004, Laura worked alongside [[HuffaMoose]], [[AquaShee]] and [[Nornagon]] to create [[Encyclopedia Creaturica]]. However, the project had been developed in secret, and subsequently the [[Creatures Wiki]] was launched before the website could be unveiled.<br />
<br />
Outside of the community, Laura enjoys gaming, reading, playing the piano, drinking copious amounts of tea, and currently works as part of the tech team for her local church.<br />

==Ask Laura==<br />

==Summary of Content==<br />
Just about everything a community portal site needs: [[Forums]], news, links, a [[CC Chat]] applet, galleries and an expansive downloads section with [[metaroom]]s, [[COB]]s and [[agent]]s, among other features. It's also home to the [[Ask Laura]] column, the [[Hack Shack]], script reservations, an archive of [[CAOS Chaos]], [[Survivor]] and [[Creatchi]], the online Creatures experience.<br />
<br />
==History of Website==<br />
It all began many years ago with AOLPress and a really bad server called Angelfire. A small, ugly website with a picture of a cave as the background and basically no content, Creatures Caves had probably zero visitors. Shortly after, there was a revamp done in Frontpage and the [http://web.archive.org/web/20010928214639/http://creaturescaves.com website moved to Geocities]. The blue scheme was unveiled and has stuck with the website ever since. A white background and bad coding were some of the downsides to this version of the website, but it was certainly an improvement. [[Millennium Creatures]], [[HomeCreatures]], and [[Sharon's Creatures Village]] were the main community sites at this point and completely overshadowed the small, only HTML site.<br />
<br />
In 2001 the site was revamped yet again, this time with tons of little graphics and a very clean color scheme. ([http://creaturescaves.com/previous/2001 You can view an archived version of this design here.]) Focusing mostly on content and still completely HTML, the website had moved to it's own domain and was now hosted by [http://directnic.com DirectNIC], the company that registered the domain. This company did not allow PHP or HTML but did allow SSL which made the site easier to update. The webmaster realized that in order to keep up with the huge sites in the community, a dynamic design was a necessity.<br />
<br />
A year after that, Creatures Caves moved to [http://worldzonepro.com WorldZonePro], a paid hosting company that allowed both PHP and MySQL, as well as everything else that Rascii could possibly ask for. With help from [[JacketFan]], [[Dan]], [[Helen]], and a few others, the webmaster was able to conquer the programming language and open [http://creaturescaves.com/previous/2002 the first PHP version of Creatures Caves]. The design had some further improvements and forums were opened for the first time. They were hand-coded and full of bugs, but that was okay. Any place to discuss was fine.<br />
<br />
The website underwent a revamp on August 1st 2012. This saw a new colour scheme and logo, to fit in with the upcoming [[Creatures Online]], in addition to an array of new features, such as commenting on downloads and news posts. The website underwent yet another revamp in 2015, giving a more simplistic white and blue design<br />
<br />

Currently the staff levels are Administrator, Manager and Moderator. There used to be a Staff Member level. The Staff Member level had a brief comeback in 2013, but was replaced by the user title system shortly thereafter.<br />

<div>[[File:Stingercandy.png|left]]'''Stinger Candy Corn''' is an agent for [[Docking Station]], coded by [[Laura]], with sprites by [[Mea]]. Made for Halloween, it works similarly to the [[Stinger Honeycomb]] agent by modifying the [[Stinger]] nests to drop pieces of candy corn when disturbed by the [[Hand]], or by a creature. Each piece of candy corn (made with real Stinger honey!) reduces a creature's tiredness, sleepiness and fear drives when eaten.<br />

'''Laura''' '''Valentine''' entered the [[Creatures Community]] in mid-2003, long after being introduced to the wonderful world of [[Albia]] in 1997. At first, she did not take to the series. When her mother offered to buy her [[Creatures 1]] at a local games store, she declined. It was only her mother’s insistence that won her over, and two weeks later, she was shamefully hooked. Since then, Creatures and its community has become a valuable part of her life, with [[Creatures 1]] and [[Creatures 2]] being her favourites. While she doesn't often play these days, the community keeps her involved and she loves every minute of it. <br />

Like all teas, '''Mama Hand's Tea''' is the solution to everything. Or at least, a solution to stress for [[Norns]], by virtue of smelling like the [[Norn home]] and reducing [[anger]] when the box is pushed. The tea comes in a box decorated with leaf pictures, diamond shapes, and "Tea Box" written in a script font. It is a [[Docking Station]] agent written by [[Laura]] and sprited by [[Mea]] available at [[Creatures Caves]].<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:honey.gif|Honey]]<br />
Honey is a delectable treat in [[Creatures|Creatures 1]] that is savoured by [[Norns]] and [[Grendel]]s alike! When a [[world]] is first created, six honey pots are scattered in random locations. Each honey pot may be eaten from several times before it is emptied. Upon emptying a honey pot, it can be refilled by a creature or the [[Hand]] by dropping it in front of the [[beehives]] above the [[learning computer]]. <br />
<br />
Honey is the least nutritious of the [[food]]s provided in Creatures ([[carrot]]s, [[lemon]]s and [[cheese]]), but it satisfies hunger. Specifically, it has the following effects:<br />
<br />
*[[Hunger Decrease]]: 150<br />
*[[Need for Pleasure Decrease]]: 20<br />
*[[Starch]]: 40<br />
<br />
Honey is also present in [[Creatures 2]], where the pots are bigger. They still get emptied eventually, though, and must be put under a beehive to be refilled.<br />
<br />
Sadly, the [[Shee]] do not appear to have been fond enough of honey to take any with them when they left [[Albia]], and there is none in the [[Docking Station]] or [[Creatures 3]], despite having 3 beehives in the Norn Terrarium.<br />
<br />
There are many COBs and agents that create or use honey:<br />
<br />
*[[C1]]:<br />
**[[Albian Honey Beatle]] by [[Mannkind]]. This beetle eats honey.<br />
**[[Breakable Honey Jars]] from the [[Object Pack|C1 Object Pack 1]]. One shot honey with a twist.<br />
**[[Everlasting Honey]] by [[Muppetboy]]. Pot never needs re-filling.<br />
<br />
*[[Creatures 3|C3]]/[[Docking Station|DS]]: <br />
**[[Honey Pot]] (Honigtopf): The C2 Honey Pot comes to C3/DS. Sprites by [[Creature Labs]], CAOS by [[Minchen]].<br />
**[[Stinger Honey]] by [[ub1111]]. A honey vendor.<br />
**[[Stinger Honeycomb]]: An agent by [[Laura]] which modifies the stinger nests so that they drop honeycombs.<br />

'''Laura''' '''Valentine''' entered the [[Creatures Community]] in mid-2003, long after being introduced to the wonderful world of [[Albia]] in 1997. At first, she did not take to the series. When her mother offered to buy her [[Creatures 1]] at a local games store, she declined. It was only her mother’s insistence that won her over, and two weeks later, she was shamefully hooked. Since then, Creatures and its community has become a valuable part of her life, with [[Creatures 1]] and [[Creatures 2]] being her favourites. While she doesn't often play these days, the community keeps her involved and she loves every minute of it. <br />
<br />
Within the community, Laura is the co-administrator on [[Creatures Caves]] and the resident agony aunt for the [[Ask Laura]] advice column. Previously, she was a moderator at [[Albia2000]], before it succumbed to spam bots. She was also regular in [[JRChat]] and in response to its shutdown, has created [[CC Chat]], a new chat for community members to talk about the Creatures series or just have a good natter!<br />
<br />
Back in 2004, Laura worked alongside [[HuffaMoose]], [[AquaShee]] and [[Nornagon]] to create [[Encyclopedia Creaturica]]. However, the project had been developed in secret, and subsequently the [[Creatures Wiki]] was launched before the website could be unveiled.<br />
<br />
As of January 2013, Laura has been elected as a [http://www.creatures4-thegame.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=358 Creatures 4 Community Ambassador], along with [[ChosenPredator]], [[Don]], [[Jessica (Discover Albia)|Jessica]] and [[Rascii]]. The role will involve her helping to moderate the [http://www.creatures4-thegame.co.uk/forum/index.php Official Creatures 4 Forum] and communicating the latest development updates between [[Fishing Cactus]] and the rest of the community.<br />
<br />
Outside of the community, Laura enjoys music, gaming, fishing, drinking copious amounts of tea, and is currently working towards her chosen career as a funeral director.<br />

<hr />
<div>__NOTOC__<br />
[[File:Ccchat2.jpg|right]]'''CC Chat''' (Creatures Community Chat) is a PG-rated IRC channel for the Creatures Community, which can be accessed at [http://creatureschat.com creatureschat.com], through [[Creatures Caves]], or by joining #Creatures on the irc.creatureschat.com server (for SSL users: port 6697). It was founded by [[Laura]] and [[Spook]] in May 2010.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
*On May 31st 2010, [[Laura]] and [[Spook]] collaborated to create ''Creatures Chat'', a PG-rated IRC channel for the [[Creatures Community]]. Laura made the channel, while Spook provided the hosting for a web chat applet on his personal blog.<br />
<br />
*On February 29th 2013, CC Chat hosted a live Q&A session with [[Andrea Di Stefano]] and Samuel Languy about Creatures Online, from 7 PM (GMT). A transcript was published after the event.<br />
<br />
*As of July 9th 2014, CC Chat is hosted by its own server, CreaturesChat. Previously, it was hosted by Mibbit, WyldRyde, and then AlphaChat/AthemeNet.<br />
<br />
==Connecting to CC Chat==<br />
In order to make it more central, CC Chat is linked from these pages:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.webpetz.com/creatures/ccchat.php AmberCreatures]<br />
* [http://creatureschat.com Creatureschat.com]<br />
* [http://creaturescaves.com/community.php?section=Chat Creatures Caves]<br />
<br />
For those who wish to connect to the chat with their own IRC client, they can join '''''#Creatures''''' on the '''''irc.creatureschat.com''''' server (for SSL users: port 6697).<br />
<br />
===='''Usernames'''====<br />
<br />
To '''register''' your username:<br />
* ''/nick USERNAME''<br />
* ''/msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL''<br />
* ''/msg nickserv identify PASSWORD''<br />
<br />
To '''log in''' with your username:<br />
* ''/nick USERNAME'' (if your username is not correct)<br />
* ''/msg nickserv identify PASSWORD''<br />
<br />
If you use an IRC chat client it should have options to save your log in details instead of typing the commands manually.<br />
<br />
Registered nicknames (including your password) will expire if you do not log into chat for 30 days. Sadly, this is a default IRC setting that we cannot change, so do come back regularly.<br />
<br />
==Channels==<br />
The main channel is ''[http://creatureschat.com/?channels=Creatures #Creatures]'', where most chatters gather, with the ''[http://creatureschat.com/?channels=CreaturesRP #CreaturesRP]'' room for Creatures [[roleplay]].<br />
<br />
To join #CreaturesRP, simply type'' /join #CreaturesRP'' when connected to the server, (or in ''#Creatures'') or click the link above to join the channel via CreaturesChat.<br />
<br />
There were previously other channels, #CreaturesDev for development and #CreaturesInt for international chat, but they were dropped as of July 2012 due to a lack of activity.<br />
<br />
In July 2014, [[cptmashek]] started up #creatures-dev for those who want to do some serious "tech talk."<br />
<br />

==Promoting CC Chat==<br />
<br />
<div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">[[File:Ccbanner1.gif]]<br><br>[[File:Cchatbutton.gif]] [[File:Button1.gif]] [[File:Button2.gif]] [[File:Button3.gif]]</div><br />
<br />
Any support would be very much appreciated by all of us in CC Chat. By using a banner or a button, not only will you be showing everyone how much you enjoy the chat, but you'll also be helping to encourage new chatters to participate.<br />
<br />
==CC Chat Rules==<br />
In order to make your chatting experience as enjoyable as possible, please abide by these rules while in chat.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Illegal Activity''' ===<br />
<br />
Discussions concerning illegal activities including, but not limited to, the sharing of copyrighted material, files, programs, music, movies, etc. will not be tolerated. This is against CreaturesChat's T.O.S., and the community’s consensus. If you do these activities, that’s between you and the world. Please have some common sense and don’t bring it into chat.<br />
<br />
=== '''Please Respect the Operators''' ===<br />
<br />
Please don't question a Operator’s judgement in the public chat. Most of the time their actions are justified. If you do not agree with what an Operator has done, then please private message Laura (or the Operator involved) for an explanation.<br />
<br />
=== '''Please Adhere to the Channel Rating''' ===<br />
<br />
Text or other content that doesn't suit the PG rating will not be allowed. This includes posting links to such content. If you're uncertain whether something is suitable for chat, please private message one of the Operators for clarification.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Swearing or Rudeness''' ===<br />
<br />
Please do not use offensive words in chat. Any name calling or other disruptive behaviour is also not allowed.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Scrolling or Shouting''' ===<br />
<br />
Scrolling is when someone types line after line of garbage, or excessively long, wrapping lines. "Hiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" can also be considered scrolling. Shouting is when someone types in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. It's okay to emphasize a word every once in a while, but not an entire sentence.<br />
<br />
=== '''No Excessive Nickname Changing''' ===<br />
<br />
When you log into chat with a name, try your best to keep it. Changing it in rapid succession, or to impersonate another chatter, whether as a joke, or just briefly, is not tolerated.<br />
<br />
=== '''Identity Issues''' ===<br />
<br />
Never give out your real name, age, or location in chat; likewise requesting the personal details of other chatters is prohibited. IRC in general is not a safe place to discuss these things. Additionally, you should never discuss your passwords with others.<br />

==Summary of Content==<br />
Just about everything a community portal site needs: [[Forums]], news, links, a [[CC Chat]] applet, galleries and an expansive downloads section with [[metaroom]]s, [[COB]]s and [[agent]]s, among other features. It's also home to the [[Ask Laura]] column, the [[Hack Shack]], script reservations, an archive of [[CAOS Chaos]] and [[Creatchi]], the online Creatures experience.<br />
<br />
==History of Website==<br />
It all began many years ago with AOLPress and a really bad server called Angelfire. A small, ugly website with a picture of a cave as the background and basically no content, Creatures Caves had probably zero visitors. Shortly after, there was a revamp done in Frontpage and the [http://web.archive.org/web/20010928214639/http://creaturescaves.com website moved to Geocities]. The blue scheme was unveiled and has stuck with the website ever since. A white background and bad coding were some of the downsides to this version of the website, but it was certainly an improvement. [[Millennium Creatures]], [[HomeCreatures]], and [[Sharon's Creatures Village]] were the main community sites at this point and completely overshadowed the small, only HTML site.<br />
<br />
In 2001 the site was revamped yet again, this time with tons of little graphics and a very clean color scheme. ([http://creaturescaves.com/previous/2001 You can view an archived version of this design here.]) Focusing mostly on content and still completely HTML, the website had moved to it's own domain and was now hosted by [http://directnic.com DirectNIC], the company that registered the domain. This company did not allow PHP or HTML but did allow SSL which made the site easier to update. The webmaster realized that in order to keep up with the huge sites in the community, a dynamic design was a necessity.<br />
<br />
A year after that, Creatures Caves moved to [http://worldzonepro.com WorldZonePro], a paid hosting company that allowed both PHP and MySQL, as well as everything else that Rascii could possibly ask for. With help from [[JacketFan]], [[Dan]], [[Helen]], and a few others, the webmaster was able to conquer the programming language and open [http://creaturescaves.com/previous/2002 the first PHP version of Creatures Caves]. The design had some further improvements and forums were opened for the first time. They were hand-coded and full of bugs, but that was okay. Any place to discuss was fine.<br />
<br />
The website underwent a revamp on August 1st 2012. This saw a new colour scheme and logo, to fit in with the upcoming [[Creatures Online]], in addition to an array of new features, such as commenting on downloads and news posts.<br />
<br />
==Staff==<br />
Currently the staff levels are Super Administrator, Administrator, Manager and Moderator. There used to be a Staff Member level. The Staff Member level had a brief comeback in 2013, but was replaced by the user title system shortly thereafter.<br />

==Summary of Content==<br />
Just about everything a community portal site needs: [[Forums]], news, links, a [[CC Chat]] applet, galleries and an expansive downloads section with [[metaroom]]s, [[COB]]s and [[agent]]s, among other features. It's also home to the [[Ask Laura]] column, the [[Hack Shack]], script reservations, an archive of [[CAOS Chaos]] and [[Creatchi]], the online Creatures experience.<br />
<br />
==History of Website==<br />
It all began many years ago with AOLPress and a really bad server called Angelfire. A small, ugly website with a picture of a cave as the background and basically no content, Creatures Caves had probably zero visitors. Shortly after, there was a revamp done in Frontpage and the [http://web.archive.org/web/20010928214639/http://creaturescaves.com website moved to Geocities]. The blue scheme was unveiled and has stuck with the website ever since. A white background and bad coding were some of the downsides to this version of the website, but it was certainly an improvement. [[Millennium Creatures]], [[HomeCreatures]], and [[Sharon's Creatures Village]] were the main community sites at this point and completely overshadowed the small, only HTML site.<br />
<br />
In 2001 the site was revamped yet again, this time with tons of little graphics and a very clean color scheme. ([http://creaturescaves.com/previous/2001 You can view an archived version of this design here.]) Focusing mostly on content and still completely HTML, the website had moved to it's own domain and was now hosted by [http://directnic.com DirectNIC], the company that registered the domain. This company did not allow PHP or HTML but did allow SSL which made the site easier to update. The webmaster realized that in order to keep up with the huge sites in the community, a dynamic design was a necessity.<br />
<br />
A year after that, Creatures Caves moved to [http://worldzonepro.com WorldZonePro], a paid hosting company that allowed both PHP and MySQL, as well as everything else that Rascii could possibly ask for. With help from [[JacketFan]], [[Dan]], [[Helen]], and a few others, the webmaster was able to conquer the programming language and open [http://creaturescaves.com/previous/2002 the first PHP version of Creatures Caves]. The design had some further improvements and forums were opened for the first time. They were hand-coded and full of bugs, but that was okay. Any place to discuss was fine.<br />
<br />
The website underwent a revamp on August 1st 2012. This saw a new colour scheme and logo, to fit in with the upcoming [[Creatures Online]], in addition to an array of new features, such as commenting on downloads and news posts.<br />
<br />
==Staff==<br />
Currently the staff levels are Super Administrator, Administrator, Manager and Moderator. There used to be a Staff Member level. The Staff Member level had a brief comeback in 2013, but was replaced by the user title system shortly thereafter.<br />
<br />

<div>[[image:Nornchi.png|right]]'''Creatchi''' is an online Creatures experience on [[Creatures Caves]]. Created by [[Rascii]] with sprites by [[Ghosthande]], it is a virtual pet game that lets you take care of a Nornchi, Ettinchi or Grendelchi (the equivalent of [[Norns]], [[Ettins]] and [[Grendel|Grendels]]). They have a full life cycle, including breeding and death.<br />
<br />
New owners can hatch a creatchi from one of six randomly-generated eggs, or they can choose to adopt the offspring of two creatchis who have already bred. New eggs are considered to be first generation, while adopted offspring have varying generations, depending on the generations of their parents.<br />
==Creatchi Care==<br />
Similarly to a virtual pet, a creatchi has drives that go down over time: Fun, Hunger, Social, Health and Energy. It's up to the owner to make sure that these drives don't get too low. An owner can see their creatchi's overall state by looking at the emoticon which appears next to "Welcome, Username" at the top-right corner of all Creatures Caves pages.<br />
<br />
====Inventory Items====<br />
[[image:Creatchiapple.gif]] Apple<br />
[[image:Creatchicheese.gif]] Cheese<br />
[[image:Creatchiball.gif]] Ball<br />
[[image:Creatchiteddy.gif]] Teddy<br />
[[image:Creatchimedicine.gif]] Medicine<br />
[[image:Creatchielixir.gif]] Elixir<br />
[[image:Creatchicarrot.gif]] Carrot<br />
[[image:Creatchirubberduck.gif]] Rubber Ducky<br />
[[image:Creatchisleepmask.gif]] Sleep Mask<br />
<br />
Created by Ghosthande, items in the owner's inventory can be used to tend to their creatchi's needs, and these can be found by posting on the website. The most common items are apples and balls, which can easily be obtained by posting in the forums, as well as posting comments and bibbles.<br />
<br />
==Creatchi Mart==<br />
The Creatchi Mart and coinchi were introduced in [http://creaturescaves.com/index.php?view=1248 April 2014]. Each owner begins with a balance of twenty coinchi, but extra coinchi can be earned by browsing the website. Items can also be bought and sold. However, items can only sold at half price.<br />
