[This is a catchall post for the BETA TESTERS quest on the MANTA Board!! Anyone who is interested in contacting Cid either through the network or in person can tag into this post. Feel free to handwave any preliminary phone conversation if want to skip to in person meeting.]
NETWORK PORTION:
Greetings, this is Cid.
As some may have seen, I've made a formal request on the MANTA Board for anyone who may be interested in testing a few "gadgets" I've been working on these past few weeks. I know the scope may be a bit strange, but let's just say I had a lot of time and a lot of motivation in working on both.
So, if you have any cats or dogs that might could use some new entertainment, I have a few test products you can try with them. Don't worry, they're safe. My cat's already been through most of them so I can at least attest to their durability.
As for the other devices, unless I personally know you I'll want to have either myself or one of my assistants be involved in the testing to supervise how they handle. I have a few other conditions but those can be discussed in person.
Should you have any further questions, feel free to shoot me a message. Otherwise, if you're interested in helping me test these, contact me so we can arrange a meeting point.
LOG PORTION
[For those who want to skip to right to meeting Cid and trying out any of the devices, you can choose either to meet at his workshop or already have them out somewhere trying out the device. You can also use this post to skip all that and go right down to the results and follow-up testing. Here is a copy of what was on the MANTA Board for easier reference:
The pet related devices will be handed out freely and without too much issue. For the grenades, Cid will have conducted an interview of sorts as he doesn't want these to be misused even if they are all non-lethal. While he would prefer to be there himself, he has a few people working for him (ie, NPCs) that can go in his places so others can make threads elsewhere.
All devices will need to be returned, and he did install something of a "self-destruct" feature on the grenades where they will cease to function if not activated by his own levin after a certain time. The net and stun device will have similar features.
As for success, failure, and everything in-between, go wild! Some will work great, some not, the pet related toys will either be a hit or a dude depending on the pet's attitude, and all of the non-pet devices will have electric wiring and lightning magic at their base so expect a few shocks while handling them. Feel free to have weird outcomes especially with the nets!]

You can also use this post to skip all that and go right down to the results and follow-up testing. Here is a copy of what was on the MANTA Board for easier reference:
PET TOYS & SUPPLIES:
- Automatic ball thrower: A device that will take in a ball and will automatically shoot it out. Add a bit of lightning to make it go farther.
- Feather Chaser: A motorized device that will wind up like a top and spin a feather around over the floor.
- Mouse Launcher: Similar to the ball thrower, only with a mouse and with a bit of lightning magic the mouse will "run" over the floor to encourage chase. Attached to an invisible string that will reel the mouse back in.
- Roll Up Yarn Ball: Made of durable cord safe for cats, this "ball of yarn" will extend out as the cat plays with it before automatically rolling back up.
- Foldable Cat Tree: A special cat tree that can fold in a different ways to help fit most spaces as well as change things up to keep cats entertained. (Or fold it into a box.)
MAGITECH DEVICES::
- Non-lethal Electric Type Grenades: All grenades will produce some type of electric based method to stun, paralyze, and/or contain a target. Help test effectiveness: 1) non-lethal stun (medium to large targets); 2) non-lethal cage (medium to large targets); 3) non-lethal electric field (varying area sizes).
- Elemental Net Shooter: A handheld device that will release a net based on the magic element infused by the user. Would like to test the different results from varying elements.
- Close Contact Stun Device: A small, handheld device that when triggered will stun or paralyze someone.
The pet related devices will be handed out freely and without too much issue. For the grenades, Cid will have conducted an interview of sorts as he doesn't want these to be misused even if they are all non-lethal.
