Scav Paint
I was thinking up ways to help reward everyone who participated in scav without the economy tanking, and came up with this idea.
With scav paint, you get to select one of the free silver custom PSDs that the teams came up with (here's Morris's collection of all the silvers drawn for scav) and with the item, submit a non-lineart changed custom of your favorite scav SCC pet. :)
Everyone who participated on a team that scored at least 100 points gets one, so you can pick your favorite PSD from that thread and start coloring!
Here are some of my favorites:
These will be distributed to team leaders, so contact your team leader for your free paint tube sometime in the next 48 hours :)

Scav 2011 Results
Contests
I worked hard all last night and today to bring you the results so you wouldn't have to suffer wait. :)
Tweaked the "level" rankings so the point levels made more sense. :)
A level: 975 pts
Gold Custom Orb + 2 SP
YODA - 1089.5, [M] - 1079.5, Doomicorns - 1074, Odd Squad - 1035, Pirates - 1022, CAPSLOCK - 1015, Titty Committee - 1007, Venture - 987, Emo Ranger - 980
B Level: 862 pts
Raw Gold Crystal + 1 SP
Jux - 937, Hylian Muffins - 910, Insanity - 906, Horrible - 890, Psychonauts - 885, Explore - 875
C Level: 636 pts
Blue Custom Orb
Fantasy - 845, Skype - 820, Shamrock - 820, Libertines - 820, Big Bad Ponies - 795, Jellybean - 790, Whip Mah Hairrr - 780, Hispaniola - 775, Anti-Social - 755, Team Rocket - 755, Elitist - 750, Fusion - 745, Deadpool - 745, Awesome - 725, IDK - 720, Vesperia - 720, Knights - 720, Anonymous - 705, Heatwave - 695, Omega - 685, Mini - 650, Ferghus - 640

Now, prize distribution will take 1-2 weeks, as that's a lot of prizes to give out! Some teams might be missing - this is because the proof post wasn't correctly formatted and didn't give me point information. The team leaders have been contacted and those teams will be added here when that information is received.
The auxiliary prize thread will be open until January 25, and then those prizes and winners will be announced here in the news.
I posted some of the cool stuff I came across in this thread. Check out what your fellow members have made!
EDITS: Added a team that got their point total to me.
If you haven't noticed, I'm wearing the participating prizes :)
The paintbrush is for all members who participated on teams, and the skull (of a dead user.. D=) is for A and B-level teams. Also, judging from some forum posts, you guys seem to have forgotten that prize levels stack. (EG: A-level gets A, B, C, and D).

Scav Hunt is over!
Site Update
According to my count, 71 teams have competed in this year's mini scav :) Deadline has now passed and the proof forum has been hidden for judging. Congrats on all your efforts!
While you're waiting for judging (which will take a while, mind you - 71 threads is a lot to go through, so expect 1-2 weeks for judging), why don't you fill out auxiliary prize nominations?
Or, you can get ready for Big Scav...

EBC Oopsie
Comics
There's a small error with EBCs right now, so this is to tell you all the issue:
Currently it seems like EBCs/EBPs (and RBC/Ps) are being automated by
Yasu, so they'll have failure notices automatically upon use, unless they succeed.
However! It was brought to my attention that currently EBCs/EBPs that are
failing aren't giving any Gray Vynes as a result. Until Yasu fixes this, use EBCs/EBPs at
your own risk! We advise you not to use them until this is fixed.
If you used one before this newspost and received no Gray Vyne, PM me and I'll
get you a coin refund. Thanks guys!
Edit: The fail notification that doesn't result in Gray Vynes should say that the
coin has 'broken' instead of not getting any notification or that the breeding 'succeeded'
(re: Vyne = 'fail') to produce a Vyne. There's a difference.
This should be for coins only from about this week, so if you haven't gotten
anything before that, you're safe until manual notifications happen again.

Aquarius
Pets
The aquarius Lunaris is here to stay! ... until Feb 19!
Also, regarding the news post below, I can help by offering to donate 10% of Aywas revenues for a week. That means 10% of your GP buys will also go toward Aetheria-points (lol) for the pets below (I will relay that information to her every day at the end of the day). When Aetheria holds her drawing, this will end. We will then donate that 10% amount and I'll let her know what it is so she can tell you.

Australian Floods
Pets
Hey there!
So as some of you know, and many of you probably don’t, Australia is going through some pretty rough times right now, specifically in the state of Queensland. Floods and inland tsunamis have been ripping through over the past couple of weeks, destroying homes and businesses, with the death toll currently at 22 with many more people missing. This doesn’t just affect Australia, but also a lot of other countries as Queensland is one of the major providers of wheat and coal for the world, and with the wheat crops ruined, and mines unable to function, many countries will be set back. You can read more information about the floods here and here
Due to the devastating events happening in Australia, we’re running a donation drive.
If you donate towards a floods charity, such as the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal or RSPCA QLD (because the pets there are suffering too) and show me the receipt as proof of donation by sending it to [email protected], each dollar you donate is worth one credit toward getting special donation pets. If you have another donation site/payment method in mind and are unsure, you’re welcome to send me a message to check. The donation pets, with thanks to Kassa (#1288) for designing them:
Floods Ippo 5 Credits | Floods Lunaris 10 Credits | Floods Vion : 15 Credits
In addition, the person with the highest ‘credit’ amount at the end of this week will win either a custom Vion or Lunaris (whichever they would prefer) with up to 50% edits. If there are two people with the same credit amount at the end, I’ll take it to random.org. The current highest amount will be recorded on my profile and updated at the end of each day (and within the last hours on the last day) for those that are interested.
If you have any questions, drop me a line. :)
edit: Also, the Ippo is really pretty on a black background. ;D
edit2: Working on fixing the links Links fixed - also, if you could include your Aywas name + ID in the email, that would be great. I'm sadly not a great detective. >_> If you've already sent me one without those two things, just send me a message and I'll send you your pets. :)

Custom Items
Items
Our first batch of custom items came in, if you want to see how they turned out :)
Also, once you use a package to create your custom item, any initial copies you want after the first ten only cost 1 GP each (as opposed to 2 GP for the 20 GP package). You can refill your copies of your custom item any time by contacting me.
Some of these items were requested by their creators to be available to the public - including some of those new foods (Cherry Popper, Man Meat, Boo Cake). Another two (Snow Leopard and Goblin Figurine) are in the Trash for Treasure shop.
Oh, it looks like we have some lack of r20 items for some reason, so I added some new r20 food items to balance that out :D

Maintenance Complete
Site Update
I apologize -- that took 10 more minutes than I expected it too.
The site maintenance is complete and Aywas should be back up for all of you. I know, many of you are running around the site thinking "What's new what's new?" This maintenance was mainly for some of the key parts that keeps Aywas running as well as tools to better help the Aywas staff serve you and keep the site running smoothly. Below are a few, important things you guys should noticed that has been changed (some of these may have already been noted):
- User profile commenting fixed
I apologize on taking so long to fix this -- I wasn't even aware it was broken until it was brought directly to me. The commenting should be reenabled through the profiles now.
- Send mail to your own account
You should be able to send PMs directly to your own accounts now. This should help those who share accounts.
- Purchase multiple inventory slots at once
Although released last week, for those who did not know, you can now specific the number of inventory slots you can purchase at a time instead of just ten at a time.
- Chaos cooking prizes
Released last week as well, the number of items you put into cooking should be the number of prizes you get from Chaos when cooking with him (except for gourmet cooking).
- Forum Signatures restored
Released last week, premium members should start seeing their signatures back in their forum posts.
- Confirmation when sending items/BP/GP to another player
In the inventory and bank areas, if you send items or currency to another player, you will now be asked to confirm that what you are sending is going to the right person.
- Online status in forums
Ick, the list does go on D= I will just end it here.
Anyways, as for some new things. If you haven't already headed over to the game section, there's a new game there for you guys to play.
So when you have the chance, check it out. Once we start getting some high scores in, we will adjust the BP you can earn in this and the other flash games as well.
As well, a new feature for the premium users! Double Play allows all premium users to send scores twice as many times as normal. So instead of sending scores in three times a day, you can now send them in six times a day. As of now, Aywas only has three flash games to play, but six more are coming! We just won't tell you when =P
So if you don't already have a premium account, Go and get one!
That's it for now. I'll be browsing the bugs forum for the remainder of the night to fix any new bugs that may have popped up, so if you run into any new issues on the site, please post them there.

Maintenance at 12:10am
Site Update
Hey there!
At 12:10am Aywas time the site will be going offline for approximately 15 minutes as I upload and configure some new changes that have been requested by the members here on Aywas. During the down time, the site will not be accessible to the public until these changes are done.
Once the changes are done, you may noticed some existing features acting glitchy. Just report them and leave 'em be for now -- they will be fixed.
These changes are necessary so that we can provide new systems and features to the site, so please bear with us. Your accounts will not be touched in any way =3
