Welcome to My Little Phony RL$ Bribes!
[Please refer to examples in our Shop Thread for samples]
Hi. Hello! Welcome to the My Little Phony real-money Bribes page! We will be real honest with you: we're very broke. Every time we've done an RL Bribe, the money has gone to bills, or replacing equipment we need to make Phonies. This is pretty much my only marketable skill, so it really means the world to me and our rl situation that there are amazing people who are willing to give us real money to draw Phonies. ;_;
If you are interested in getting Phonies and keeping us afloat, you could consider an RL Bribe, and we'd be ever so grateful! (If you're interested in getting Phonies, but don't have the ability to RL - we get it, fam! Just keep hanging around MLPh and there'll always be more chances to get Phonies!)
Phony bribes are as flexible as you want: while you can always go for a full-custom, you could just give us vague instructions and let us dream up a Phony to suit your parameters, whether it’s just giving us a concept and traits you like, or inspiration pics - anything!
As usual, you can also bribe for Breeding Packages (whether 2 Growing + 1 Permababby package, or 3 Permababby package), Perma-growths, Phonywear (including Wedding outfits), Pets, and Custom Anthro Stages.
You could technically bribe for multiple Phonies (whether all for you, split between you and gifts, or all for gifts), and even for entire events if you have the heart and dosh.
Basically - anything (within Phonyland reason)!
ARE PHONY RL BRIBES OPEN RIGHT NOW? :: YES
To submit a Phony RL Bribe, just check above whether or not we're taking bribe requests right now, and send an email to maxx[at]citycyb.org with 'Phony Bribe Request' in the title if they are!
You don’t have to go into detail yet for a query, but please specify the bribe amount!
Due to the nature of bribes, and the limited RL time we have to do them, we can usually only reply when we're ready and able to pick yours up, so if you don’t get a reply, feel free to change up your request or bribe or re-express interest anytime.
If it happens that I’ve had my eye on a previous request of yours that I just haven’t been able to do yet, I’d let you know in that case too, so don’t worry about that!
If you're worrying about the numbers: the most important thing is that you’re happy with the amount you’re thinking of paying! No matter what, you know do our best with the utmost love, and I do not want you to be unhappy with the offer or outcome even more than I do want and need money. So if you’re not comfortable, don’t do it!
If you'd really like to know, here are some approximate numbers that people have generally bribed us with in the past, although every bribe (and Phony concept!) is, of course, considered on a case-by-case basis, and I know many wonderful people who bribe us are also really just trying to keep us alive, so it doesn't necessarily mean your bribes will be held to these standards.
Run your cursor over to read:
♥ starting from US$50+ for normative Phony (non-rare strain) & Perma-growth
♥ starting from US$75+ for non-normative Perma-growth
♥ starting from US$100+ for relatively normal non-normative Phonies
♥ starting from US$200+ and above for non-normative Phonies with one or more major non-normative features, normative Carousels and Alicorns, and CC Dream Phonies (as mentioned above, where we basically carefully design the entire Phony based on only a concept, some traits, or some desires provided by the owner)
♥ ...to US$500+ or more for extremely non-normative Phonies, or Phonies with a lot of work necessary
Of course, these are only trends, and numbers always change with the market, so feel free to just hit us with what you've got!
If you're wondering what happened to our standard RLC rounds, we're so very sorry to report that, due to Gaia RL policy changes and a subsequent back-and-forth with mods, we've decided to retire them because we won't have the time to do both those and bribes in the same year, and we only do bribes when we NEED the money or will get evicted or get our electricity cut off etc. so we don't really have a practical choice. Q_Q If circumstances permit, we'll look into bringing them back in the future!
