Bored?

Goto News Post

We are still busy transferring. Bored waiting for Aywas to finish doing this? Why not visit our developing sister site, Felisfire.com? At least it'll give you something to do!


It's a site about breeding winged kitties. It's run by the awesome Erienne and Dew. You can do all sorts of things there - create your FREE six customs to start your colony, watch your cats grow fond of (or hate) each other and eventually breed, hunt around in a strange world, collect mini-pets to attach to your cats that can battle, start clans of cats with other users, etc etc.


It's in beta testing, so while waiting for this site to finish up its shenanigans, why not help another site grow and prosper? Find bugs, test features, and in general be awesome.

Transferring... transferring....

Transferring

Much movement is occurring between V2 and V3. We're working on getting the items database (which contains millions of entries x_x) over first. Please do not conduct any transactions or actions in general that you want to keep while the notice is up.


Also do not conduct yourself in a way that would harm the contents of your account: eg: do not donate all your pets, get rid of all your money, or make any purchases that might reflect on your account later. Doing so might end up with you having to live with your choices. Best stick to the forums or play the games or explore, as long as you are content losing (or possibly keeping) the results of your actions.

On Baby Predicts...

Pets

Goto News Post

I want to address a problem I've seen when it comes to user-submitted offspring. There has been a great deal of discussion on the forums about this, and upon thinking about it has prompted me to change a few rules when it comes to the babies that users submit for their own breedings.




From now on, I'm going to be a lot harder on picking offspring and in what I accept for valid user-submitted offspring. Lately it's been a trend that I see more offspring that end up as clones of one parent and nothing else. It's beginning to become a problem because of what the breeding staff and Aywas has in place when it comes to offspring standards. So please note the below, as it will also be added to the thread in Breeding Chat:




Offspring that are not a clear mix of the parents will be outright rejected by me and you will receive a PM saying you must change the predictions to be reviewed again. This includes the following that will not be acceptable from hereon out:




- Four predicts that use the base lines of one parent with small edits/color changes pulled from another parent




- Four predicts that combine every single edit/most edits from each parent into one offspring, with small color changes or minute variation between the offspring. Alternately, four predicts that have one particular edit run throughout every single predict. Such as a mask or a set of wings that every predict has, when it is plausible that one offspring may never get those wings or mask because of the second parent.




- Four predicts that pull from tiny colors on the parents to make entirely new color changes and bases. An example would be a small splash of red on one paw on a parent that does not occur anywhere else to make an entirely red recolored offspring. Also not being accepted is pulling color from the eyes or from edits like necklaces, bracelets, etc. You can still make predicts with colors if they would easily/readily mix, though, such as a red parent x a blue parent = some shade of purple in the baby. Alternately, if you can make that color in an overlay/filter (I will be checking if I'm not sure) that is also allowed.




- Four predicts that favor only one marking/pattern on the parent throughout all predicts, and barely includes any of the other parent's markings.




- Predicts that otherwise don't look like a good mix of both parents. I'll be addressing issues as they arise.




Remember that the point of breeding and offspring here is to make good mixes of the parents to result in offspring that are mixed, not just parent clones. This affects all predicts submitted from hereon out; any already on the board or that were submitted prior to this newspost are unaffected and will be treated as normal… but I'll be watching your predicts more closely from now on. I was more lenient until I received many complaints about the way predicts were handled. The above was just what I found as glaring issues, which is why that last point covers anything that I deem unacceptable from now on.




If you have any questions/concerns, please do PM me or post as a comment and I'll address them. Thanks!

Aywas is now accepting pre-orders for Snail Mail payment. If you are interested in ordering via SnailMail, please fill out the form under Shops --> Real Life Merchandise but place in the "PayPal email" question "Sending by SnailMail" and you will be responded to with an address.


Preorders with FREE ADDONS will be ending on the 26th of July. After that, addons will cost +$5 to each plush purchased. There is one exception:

Pets

Goto News Post

Hardest Contest by far to judge! We had so many amazing entries, I encourage you to go check them out here if you already haven't!



Our first place winner is user #728, Beer with their submission....




The only thing to say about this custom? I can smell him from here and I think I just puked up a little bit in my mouth.



Second through fifth place are as follows....

skelewolfalien xaoc ?lol by #66 Aud & Bre. I would not want to be caught looking into those eyes, i'd be caught dead. LOLOL OMG IM SO FUNNY

clown xaoc by #5509 Khenari. Want to give Eri a fright, or any young child? Gift them one of these, or the cute Aywas cookie version (yeah that's right, all clown cookies go to user #17 ;o)

lickylick xaoc by #404 Basil. WHAT?! Can he clean my oven with that tongue?

eyeball xaoc by #964 Reese n Dani. I really, really feel like he's watching me.... no seriously. It's awkward.


So congratulations to our winners and you will be contacted shortly about your prizes!


We've also decided to start paying our judges 2gp for every contest they help judge within the allotted time. If you're interested be sure to check out the form for other information.





Lastly, do you remember my post about the new hybrid defaults? We're holding a contest for it and ALL the details can be found here under the events forum. There are two categories so please be sure to read all of the rules. Not only will we have new default hybrids and more hybrid colorations, but Aywas is commissioning a poster with a quetzal, a kyre, a paleo, and a griffin running (or flying!) toward the viewer with the shoreline and bridge in the background. The designs on the four hybrids will reflect the winners of this contest.
