Epilogue: This is not a resolution!

Announcement: Greetings, Gamindustri. Thank you for purchasing the new Nep-Pet. After many calls and feedback, we have finalised a patch that will help serve you better in life. Below are things of notice:

1. Anti-Frustration (The IF and Cave Rule):

Plum-met, Plumindigo, Spotted Plum-met, Plom-met, and Plam-met pets will now no longer break the floor, wall, or ceiling when they enter their designated place. In addition, we have also implemented a control panel in your gadget to control where the pipe will appear so you will not appear somewhere you did not intend. Unless you state it or otherwise, this pet will always appear from the floor and not the wall or the ceiling.

On another note, we have also now restricted said pets from breaking through to these certain areas: Basilicoms, Washrooms, Warehouses, Shops, Private Property. This list is not exhaustive, we will add any area we deem appropriate should the need arise.

2. Anti-Crime Law (The Gust Rule):

We have now input laws to put crime in its place. First issue of note is usage of pets for personal gains through illegal distribution of banned products as well as unlicensed merchandise. Should you witness such an event, do not hesitate to call us and we will deal swift justice to the perpetrators.

The crimes covered by this law also include: Using mechanical pets for hacking into security systems, peeking into bathrooms, hidden cameras to look up where you should not be looking, stealing pudding, watching/recording movies for free, bribing people, getting free food. This list is not exhaustive.

3. Damage Control (The Nisa Rule):

Although we highly recommend the companionship of pets even in the midst of crime fighting, please be wary of your surroundings and do not set fire to other people's property. Failure to comply will be punishable by law depending on the nation.

4. Dangerous Species Advice (The Rom and Ram Rule):

There is no restriction for those that want to recruit Dolphins, Fenrirs, or Dragons. However, please be aware that housing such pets will require extra care and that parental guidance (especially for the young) is highly recommended. It should be noted that we are able to control and reduce behaviours such as Dolphin's water wave as well as Fenrir's incessant roaring, but please do your best to control your pets.

5. Clean up Law (The Compa Rule):

Your pet is solely your responsibility, and just like any other pet, clean up after them or be Nepped by the full extent of the law!

6. Release Condition (The Vert and Chika Rule):

Sometimes due to carelessness, people have gotten the wrong or undesired pet. The solution we have figured out is this: When you first defeat the said foe, there will be a confirmation period on your device to decide your choice to keep or release. However, please do not take too long because you are putting the livelihood of those poor souls in limbo.

Unfortunately, for some people even after confirmation they may grow to dislike said pet, so in that case, we have also implemented a separate full release function, but please do not abuse this, because it will no doubt cause psychological damage to certain animals, and may be subject to being Nepped by the law too.

7. Combination Prevention (The Nepgear Rule):

It has come to our attention that some people using the special edition of the gadget (The one that allows 3 pets at once) had some unintended consequences; therefore, we have implemented a restriction that disallows certain combination of pets to be recruited. This also helps in preventing your pet from eating your other pet.

Common Banned combinations include: 3 Dogoos (Grandogoo), Horsebirdex + Radisher (Pegasus), Horsebirdex + Carroteer (Deep Impulse), Horsebirdex + Eggplanter (Midsummer Nightmare), Horsebird + Radisher (Horsebird Leader), Weirdo Shadow + Sicko Shadow + Greedy Shadow (ASCII Orchestra).

Note: This does not mean that combination-type pets are banned, this is just to prevent them from appearing when you do not want them to. For example, if you do want a Grandogoo for a pet, just let 3 normal Dogoos fuse into one before recruiting. Rules for Dangerous species (See 4) applies.

Note 2: Existing banned combinations of pets are not erased, we will be working with certain people to help figure it out for them.

8A. Story-line related Pets (The Blanc Rule):

Most of these fine and they may not even be accessible anymore, so we have decided not to restrict recruitment. However, we do strongly encourage discretion for some pets because they are too menacing (Killachine) or simply evil by nature (Underling/Pirachu).

8B. Colosseum Ban (The Neptune and Uni Rule):

Upon closer inspection, we have decided that most Colosseum enemies are unfit to be pets simply due to them being palette-swapped versions of ASIC members (CFW whatevers), or they would cause confusion (Fake Hearts) and therefore put a strict ban on them to being unconvertible. Most monsters such as the combination ones mentioned in 7 are still fine though (Again, discretion is advised).

Note: Unfortunately, existing banned pets are not deleted, we are working hard to accommodate them right now.

9. Obviously Banned Pets:

Anything from the Conquest Route, because this just ain't that kind of a story.

10. Clarification on Pet Battles:

We have heard much about this topic and decided to elaborate on it. Simply put, no battles between pets! Why? Because the whole purpose of this gadget was to provide companionship to lonely people (And a certain CPU), as well as grow into a future where maybe monsters and people can peacefully coexist. Therefore, the barbaric practice of forcing pets to fight is strictly prohibited, especially with different pet type and sizes.

For example, who'd want to see their Kupokitty get munched on by a Vanargandr? Not much fun right? Therefore, don't do it.

11. New Technology:

Good news, we have implemented new technology to current existing devices so that pets will not need as much food or maintenance. However, please do still feed them!

12. Proper usage of the Customer Service line:

Let us be clear on this: The customer service line is for general inquiries about the Nep-Pet gadget ONLY! That means no calls about where to find certain pets, how to play Victory, what you are eating at the moment, not for homework help, and certainly not to drop lame meme jokes!

Breaking of this rule will result in your face being Nepped, you have been warned.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you have a wonderful day. This patch is expected to go live today.

Histoire breathed easier with the patch notes complete. Sure, it was not perfect by any means, but at least this was a great start to improving the quality of life again for her and the other Oracles.

What was a concern was that all the CPUs just had to gather around outside with all their pets, as if it was just some snack break. That was not that main thing though, awhile back, a light was seen so something had happened, and now everyone was wondering what was going on. After a short while, the door to the room was forcibly opened.

"Yo Histy! I got some good news with my pet!" Neptune said, clearly happy about something.

"Did you manage to release and delete it? We just released a patch," Histoire responded.

"Nah! Good ole Arfie actually went through a transformation! And now she can fit into the basilicom and even live here. See, I introduce to you my newly evolved pet-Delphinus!" Neptune exclaimed, while the Deity of Sin look-alike appeared in her full glory.

The four Oracles sighed and groaned. One problem after another, it would seem Neptune always have something new and ridiculous to show the world.
