Its funny they use a gothic usul to promote conformity :roflol:

I know I'll get tired of her after a while :D

I love Usuls. That av fits me perfectly! The funny thing is, it was my shopkeeper almost the entire time I've had a shop, I only recently switched to Hannah. But no matter, I never look at my shop front anyway. ;)

That avatar cracks me up, for some reason.

Numero 47 for me, yay! I am so using it. :P

That's avatar #61 for me!

Thanks Mark!

I wonder if they are trying to make a statement? Oy, and I check my shopfront all the time. It's pretty habitual for me, I think I'll just leave the silly shopkeeper up until I can break the habit. They have a funky sense of humor.

Alot of people on the AB are saying to just leave the usuki for the night, or just change your shopkeeper back and don't go to your shop front until tomorrow. The assumption? Today's the whole usukicon thing, so tomorrow the av will be retired and it won't matter what shopkeeper you're using...in other words, if you change your shopkeeper tomorrow and look at your shopfront, you won't lose the av.

Thoughts on that?

I got the av, and changed back to my old shopkeeper. I just gotta remember never to visit shop front ever again.

I don't think that it disappears, has anyone even checked this out?

I think it depends on what form of sadism the TNT is into right now. ;) Retiring it and irritating people who miss today, or leaving it the way it is to continuously annoy lots of people on a regular basis. I could see it going either way.

...or, they could be extra cruel. You can only get the avatar today, but you can lose it at any point after that if you ever change your shopkeeper and go to your storefront. Wow.

Edit: I'm almost tempted to get the av on my secondary account, just to test it once the Usukicon is over.

TEST IT! I am interested whether or not it does disappear.

"Oh no! The avatar 'Emo Usuki' has been removed from your collection! You are no longer eligible to use it on the the NeoBoards!"

Yes, you can lose it.

"You are now eligible to use 'Emo Usuki' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!"

Today at least, it's easy enough to get back.

mocha - right now, if you get the av, then change your shopkeeper, you're ok. But! if you change your shopkeeper and go look at your shopfront, you lose the av.

It's kind of like the VonRoo av - if you lose, you lose the av...is that still the way that one works? I don't have that one.

Vertigo, yep, I could see that happening...get the av, retire it, then no matter when you change your shopkeeper and go look at your shop *poof* av gone. That would be kind of mean. My friend is testing it, actually. She normally uses Illusen (goes with her gallery theme), but told me she went for the av and is just leaving the usuki up for the night and she's going to change it back tomorrow. She doesn't really care one way or the other if it disappears. I've never seen her use any av but the Illusen doll one. Yes, she has a thing for Illusen.

Well, I have to remember not to go to my shop front from now on!
