Contests
the winner of the VPL Edit Contest is Grand Antiscient (#7825)! Antiscient won a Hybrid Custom Crystal.
CPVR said:
"I chose Antiscient's entry because I believe it fits the theme of Virtualpetlist.com - as, when people throw things at us, our mascot battles back with its tongue - and also, as we've been around for so long, our community has struggled with various different things. The point is, don't ever give up, and always battle for your dreams."
Congrats Anti! I'll also be awarding 10 GP (upped it) to other good entries on the thread. :)

Fossilized Egg
Items
The constant earthquakes in the fissures unearthed fifteen eggs...
There don't seem to be any more, but maybe another large earthquake in that region will jog more from the depths. There certainly are many of them.
The lava and warmth in that area seems to have had an effect on them. If you put your hand to the shell, something's moving around inside.
Inside is a Serrul, a new rare genus.
Ready to hatch your Serrul? Download the PSD from the custom only thread and make your design, then take your egg to the Custom Pet page to upload it!
Hmm, I wonder when the next big earthquake will be?
Can you guess what this genus was named after? (prize: egg)

The number of the day is...
Rules
...42.
Where it may be the answer to life, the universe, and everything, it isn't the reason this number is important. 42 refers to the number of users that will be receiving refunds of their coins/fertility potions and, in some cases, their breeding canceled because they didn't read the rules (or made an error in submitting a breeding). It took me several hours going through every single page of the queue searching out mistakes made on current breedings.
Please take your time to review the descriptions on each coin as you use it (as well as the potion) BEFORE you submit the breeding! We have a breeding and species tutorial to reference off of for a reason, if you don't know what 'common species' is and whatnot. Please, please remember to do so, else your breeding will most likely sit and have to wait to be fixed later on. It only serves in backing up the system more.
I'll sift through again sometime in the near future, but for now I'm going to toss the refunded items to people that need them. If by tomorrow you have not received a refund on an outstanding breeding that you know is due for cancellation (and you realized your mistake) PM me tomorrow with the IDs in the breeding, coin used, and when you submitted it, along with what you did wrong.
Another small addition; whereas Mauri (#1010) is amazing at helping out in the breeding sector like a superhero sidekick, she is not the one to go to with pertinent breeding-related questions. She normally cannot give you answers, so please direct all queries to me, not her! If I don't respond outright, too, please give me a poke. I get about a page of messages per day in my Aywas inbox, and I don't mean to leave anyone out. :]

TOS Update - 2/23/2011
Rules
An update has been made to the Terms of Service.
Please read the document in full for the changes. Points of interest are:
- stricter rules against users who submit fraudulent transactions via the Purchase GP feature
- a "no begging" rule
- a "no reserving posts in official Aywas contests" rule
- fixed link to newsletter deactivation
- requirement to submit accurate information during account creation and maintenance and to not provide fraudulent information in any situation
I know this news post is boring compared to shiny stuff with cute pets and items, but... :( It's needed.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the "no begging" rule, regardless.
