This is your 24 hour warning for you to make sure that all of your PSDs from the Mayday sale have been downloaded. Before we upload the new exotic pets into the pot, all PSDs from the previous sale will be wiped, so please double check that you have everything downloaded from the Claimed Archive. You will have until 6:00 PM AST tomorrow, November 16th, to do so.
In case anyone needs a refresher, the Black Friday Sale will run November 18th through November 22nd, with November 23rd being the normal credit day. The item needed to nab an Exotic pet will be revealed once all pets are uploaded, and for those of you who are new to the sales, "Special Credit" is credit that you can only accumulate during the sale by making purchases! You can read more about it here. The details for the days themselves are as follows, so be sure to plan accordingly:

Maybe look at moving it to the weekend for next year? make it easier for more people to participate and not worry about being up on a work / school night.

It was earlier last year too, the reason being the tax quarter ends too quick after the sale. Due to how taxes work it was too much of a time crunch to spend out pre-pay before the quarter ended. This extends the time the site has to do what it needs to, and not risk a higher tax taken out of it.
That and many complained the sale competed with the same paycheck blackfriday real-life sales come out of. So the date was moved to allow more space from those sales as well.

Maybe it should have been on Sat instead of Friday then if they needed to move it, so it doesn't compete with people's sleep for work and school. I remember same thing happened with Mayday this year, it was on a work night so I wasn't able to stay up, so when I was able to check the site after work all the event pets were already adopted due to the low submissions we had.

And paycheck wise the sale now ends the day before I get paid so ... that's not much help. I already have all my holiday shopping done, so this was the only black friday event I was planning to shop at. I'll just save up in case they do the gift baskets at Aymas this year, those are always great gifts.

Why is the black Friday sale a week before Black Friday? The sale is over completely before Black Friday and where it's in the middle of a normal work / school week a lot of people might not be able to stay up that late. Just seems to be very poor timing this year.
