There are some new items in the BP Shop! They will be there until Jan 1. There are some more coming... when they do...



Some of these should make you BP enthusiasts very happy!

Oh, just so you know, you can Unlock Your Christmas (not telling you what this means until the 25th ;D) this year...so if you can come online on the 25th, try it. If not, we'll see if we can work something out...

GP Reversal

Items

Goto News Post


If you purchased GP between December 14 - 17, you may have received a message from PayPal informing you that your purchase was reversed. Your GP total was not modified, however.

Please resend the payment to our standard PayPal address, [email protected]. I have a list of all the payments that were reversed so that I can check you off :)

Thanks!

According to the news comments, it looks like PayPal didn't send an email to everyone, so please check your PayPal account to see if the transaction was reversed or canceled - your account will tell you :)

Zephy #215




Zephy does a lot for the site. She's a breeding artist who takes double metal lists and who recently started doing evil and eggnog breedings to try and pick up some parts of the queue that needed it. She fixes mistakes in the breeding mistakes thread. She accepts predicts as well and I know she goes through a few pages of them a day. She also posts in help threads pretty routinely and is always up for helping people out. She makes free PSDs to give out on our joint design sales thread and she'll send out custom making items with the send to random user option. I know she's sneaking cool stuff under random people's trees just like she did last year and in short she's just a killer person.

-- nominated by HightechLowlife (#1000)

We have decided to award Zephy #215 with:


Plucked from her wish list!

Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.




On the seventh day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me....



A Wish By Nova (#8407)

I would like a drawing of all 5 of the main characters in my novel together.

These characters mean a lot to me. I have been working on writing their story for a while. The problem is, I keep running into road block. I keep questioning whether or not I can actually write a book with interesting characters and an interesting plot. I worry that my characters are flat or my novel is cliche. I keep getting stuck or distracted and it's making progress painfully slow. I was hoping, at one point, that I could have someone draw all the characters and that might help me get my muse back but, the problem is being able to afford it. I found someone who was willing to do it at a really affordable price but, unfortunately, they never finished.

What would really help me get my muse back is if a relatively talented artist could be paid to draw them all together. This is my wish.



I'll hook you up. I'm watching some of the best commission artists on DA :) Send me your references and I'll come back with a surprise!!



If you haven't already done so, submit your wish on the 12 Days of Christmas thread!

My apologies for the delay on this, I've been a bit under the weather and working crazy hours at my IRL job.

We've got a lot of stuff to do before Christmas on Aywas, so I'm going to put my head down and get back to that, hence the small update for now!

Belsnickel

Items

Goto News Post


Have you been good this year? According to the German tradition of Belsnickel, if you've been good all year -- meaning, you'll get presents -- Belsnickel will put a bell on your headboard while you're sleeping one week before Christmas.

December 18th is one week before Christmas... visit the Belsnickel page every two hours on the 18th to collect bells.

If you collect all seven, you can turn them in on Christmas into the Collections feature for a prize. (:

December 17th Spotlight

Serith (#9483)




He has created a couple of feel-good threads that I think are worth noting, such as the forum games Favourite Custom of the User Above You and Compliment the User Above You. Not only do these two games add to Aywas' sense of community, but the threads both encourage people to say something nice about a user they may not even know. I know that his Favourite Custom thread has led to several breeding opportunities and a few conversations some of us wouldn't have had otherwise; as well as inspired other forum games with similar themes. As for his Compliment thread, it can give a much-needed boost on a rough day and is a great way to see the good in people.

In addition, he's generous, kind, easy to talk to, and a great person to approach if you have any questions about custom-making or the site as a whole.

-- nominated by Mechanical Cerberus (#9484)

We have decided to award Serith (#9483) with:

Hmm, what's on this user's wish list... a Breeding Pendant... and a platinum breeding coin...how about becoming the second person to own a Platinum Breeding Pendant?


Bam!

Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.




On the fifth day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me....



A Wish By Hikora (#22246)

Harvest Moon, Tale of Two Cities (for the DS, I don't have a 3DS, so I can't play the 3DS version).

What, no 3DS? I can fix that...hahahaha!! And I'll include the game for 3DS you wanted to ;)

Adiel (#18786)




When I first joined Aywas I had no idea what I was doing and really needed a lot of help . I had not even gotten a chance to post an introduction in the forums when I received a notification that someone has sent me a message; that person was Adiel. Adiel ended up giving me three very nice pets plus several pieces of clothing for my HA. Because of Adiel's kindness and generosity I'm now trying to learn how to help others at Aywas as a way to pay it forward.

-- nominated by Suutashi (#31830)

We have decided to award Adiel (#18786) with:

GOLD!!!

Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.




On the fourth day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me....



A Wish By Marsheliah (#2164)

I'd love to be able to immortalize my two kittens on Aywas. However, the edits required to not make them look like angels, but normal kitties, are far out of my price range. I'd love two Gold Custom Orbs, which, aside from saving up and finding an artist for the edits, would put me right at my goal. It'd still be a ways off, but it'd be so much closer!

How about...


Then you can get the SCC artists to do it for you ;)
