Ghoulish Gala: Part 2
Events
You will now be able to access the Ghoulish Gala Hub, which is located under the Community tab! You can also make some friends (or enemies) while gathering Candy through Trick or Treating! Here's a quick refresher on how it works!
Sending Requests
You can visit the Trick or Treating page to start. Listed there are currently online Aywans interested in accepting Trick or Treat requests. Just click on the "Trick or Treat" button below their name to send the request. You can send requests to an Aywan every 30 minutes. This page will update itself when an Aywan's online status changes.
Processing Requests
On the side menu of the site, there's a Trick or Treat status box. As you receive requests, your visitor count will change. You can click this number (or go to My Visitors) to view your requests. From there, you'll have the option to trick or treat your visitor.
Treating visitors will cost 1,000 BP each at minimum. Tricking visitors is free!You have 15 minutes to respond to a Trick or Treat request before it expires.
If trick or treating your fellow Aywans isn't for you, don't forget that you can always Trick or Treat the NPCs instead! Swing by the Site Characters page and trick or treat them when they are available.
Located on the Trick or Treat status box is a Karma Meter. As you send trick or treat requests or trick visitors, you will incur negative (orange) karma. Vise-versa, treating users will give you positive (blue) karma. Both karma levels have their benefits and risks, so experiment around!
The Pumpkin Patch is now open as well! Remember, any and all messages left in pumpkins must follow the Terms of Service. Additionally, the pumpkins cannot be tagged as [M]ature, so do not put anything that may need this tag into the pumpkins. If you pick up a pumpkin that violates either of these rules, please PM a staff member. Be kind, and have fun!

Ghoulish Gala: Part 1
Events
Some of the Ghoulish Gala festivities are now underway! The rest will be released tomorrow, but for now, here are a few for you to get a jump start on collecting!
Starting tomorrow, October 17th, you will be able to collect one festive item per day from the Advent Calendar! Will it be a yummy treat or something spooky? Check in every day to find out!
You can now collect herbs from the Greenhouse to use in the Giant Cauldron, which will begin brewing in a few days, and Rowan's Potion Brewing, but be wary of what you grab - Minerva is watching!
The Spooky Forest is now open! As you adventure through it, you will be able to pick up Bootato, which will be one of the currencies used for the Seasonal Shop! While you won't be able to see your total until the second part's release, they will still be accumulating on your account in a ghost-like fashion. You can also find any pets that you may have missed out on from previous years, along with a few new ones!

PPP and Crystal Check
Events
Friendly reminder that you have only a few hours left , until September 30 th at 11:59 pm AST (the little clock at the top right corner of the Aywas page!) to submit your predictions to qualify for PPP perks.
- Predictions that are rejected for legitimate fixes will receive 3 days from the date their breeding is rejected after this deadline to resubmit with fixed predictions.
- Predictions that are submitted purposefully to be rejected (eg. submitting a blank base without the proper add-on, or an offspring with no marking/edit mixes for LBC) will not receive an extension.
- Example: If your prediction is rejected on 10/01, you have until 11:59 pm 10/04 to upload a fixed image.
If you have a Holiday Breeding Coin that needs to be processed, you must post it in the HBC Prediction Check thread.
If you have a Platinum Breeding Coin that needs processing, you must message Kita (#3988). Otherwise, your breeding will not be processed!
Additionally, if you are interested in participating in the artist raffle, please refer to this thread to see how your predictions can earn you all sorts of fun prizes!
Thank you for diving in with us this year, and we hope you have had a wonderful Prediction Pool Party!
A quick message from the Crystal Check Crew -- we're currently working on CCs from mid-September. If you submitted a check on or before September 14th and have had no staff response, please give it a little bump!

PPP and Exotic Sale Updates
Events
Patrice here with a few Prediction Pool Party updates! If you are thinking, "Hey... who is Patrice?" -- don't worry! I'll explain that too!
First off, staff would like me to remind you that you have only 2 weeks left to get your predictions done and submitted. PPP ends on September 30, 2022 @ 11:59 PM!
After that time, you will have a limited window to provide fixes on babies that are rejected for fixes.
Now, more about me and why I'm here!
Do you like donating your silver species for the pool party to use year after year? Do you want your donation to be permanent year to year? You are not alone!
Aywas staff wants me to let you know that they have wrangled up 3 new helper-NPCs to ease the process!
Please help us welcome Patrice, Pete, and Paul over at account #22!
We are all still settling in, but are taking messages from anyone that wants to add a sliver species to the prediction pool party permanently! Any one of us may reply, so you'll never know if you get Paul, Pete, or myself!
So how will this work?
Any species you submit will be added every year to the pool. You are giving us permission to do so for as long as we wish.Not all species may be accepted. If your submission is rejected then you will be notified, along with why.At any point we reserve the right to stop adding your species, for any reason, and may add them back at a later time.How do you submit your species to be added to the pool permanently? First, there are some rules.
1. You must edit the profiles of both founders with the following statement:
"This is a founder for a species that has been added to the Prediction Pool Party permanently. If buying, please ask seller more about this and the rules involved."
2. If you ever sell the founders or the species rights, you must pass on that they are part of the permanent pool party submissions, that the above statement can not be removed from the profile, and that the rules follow the pet no matter how many times it is sold, gifted, or re-homed. You as the seller or gift giver are required to make sure the buyer/recipient understands what this means and what rules are agreed to by owning the pet.
3. When possible, make sure the correct PSD is attached to at least one founder. You can request to attach PSDs for second generation pets (ie if they were sketch babies) in this thread
If you are unable to then you can send a link of the blanked PSD, but making sure the PSDs are attached to the founders will speed processing up.Once you have done all that, then message us over at Account #22 with the following form!
Image of SCC: (please show both if your SCC founders are not metal, and provide the PSD for both versions)
Link to PSD(s):
Link to database page:
I agree to have my Silver Species, listed above, permanently added to the Prediction Pool Party pool. I understand any user who adds them as a baby as a PPP perk will not be held to any species rules as these will be provided "rules free" to the user-base to use during PPP..
You may submit more then one Silver Species in the same message.
... and that is it!
Oh, and if you ever want to withdraw your silver species from the pool, you will need to reach out to one of us. However, please do not make a habit out of it! The point to having a permanent option is to cut back having to add and remove bases. So withdrawal will be case by case only, within reason ;)
If you are worried about any part of adding a species permanently to the pool, you may wish to stick with just adding them each event, so you can control when they stop being part of the pool! I have been assured that you will always be able to add them on a per-event basis.
With that, I'm going to dive back into the pool for a cool dip! I'll hand the last part of this post off to another staff member! Thanks! ~ =^.^=
So users have asked, and after some talks to iron out details...
We are now allowing Artist Collaboration!
There are a few rules involved, and we are currently not offering a USD payment option. We have updated the Exotic Sale Knowledge Base article with the specific rules for collaboration.
If you have any questions please reach out to a member of the moderation team for clarification and they will get back to you!

Lunar Meteor 2022
Events
The sky had shifted colors, the amount of shooting stars has increased... no, it's not the apocalypse - the Lunar Meteor has arrived! Not only has it made its yearly appearance, but there are also some new pets for you to collect!
Be careful though - some creatures are more friendly than others!
The Lunar Meteor will be shooting back off into space after 11:59 PM AST on August 31st, so be sure to collect everything that you would like to before then!
Additionally, the Museum Collection is up and ready for you to turn items in to! For those of you who weren't here last year, you can find the needed items while adventuring in the Lunar Meteor. When you have one of items, you can go to your inventory, click on the item, and hit "Move to Collections" from the menu. The prize for completing the collection is once again 1 SP and the Star Ticket, which can be used in the following raffles:
The Glittering Potion can change your pet into your choice of any site pet, and it has three charges! The Metallic Starlight Bottle allows you to create a metal Lunaris custom! The Jar of Sparkles has four charges and will turn your pet into a Lunaris from Lunaris Day 2012! The Bottle of Vampire Glitter allows you to create an up to 50% edited, sparkledog-esque custom of an Uncommon or Token species! If you need a break from Adventure, the Wish Upon a Star threads are here to potentially grant your pet and/or item desires! Be sure to read the rules entirely before posting, and good luck! You can find both of the threads in the Events forum. You will have until 11:59 PM AST on August 31st to make your wishes!
Last, but certainly not least, the Seasonal Shop is open at this time as well! There are a few pets available for purchase, along with some new items and a good number of ones from previous Lunar Meteor stock. Be sure to grab any food, clothing, and fauna that you may have missed out on before! The Seasonal Shop will be open until 11:59 PM AST on September 5th, so be sure to make any and all purchases before then.
