Site Update
Hello dears, I'm sorry to appear out of season but I've been sent to you with an important message from the Lunaris Council, the governing body of this corner of the universe.
It's very possible you haven't heard about them since they have been mostly absent during the seven years that humans have colonised here on Ay and Ara. You see there were a few problems they've had to attend to in order to keep you all safe here, and because of that we - the Lunarii and the Shapeshifters - have mostly been absent. We've sent down contacts on a monthly basis for a long time now, and a few Shifters - like myself and Tech - have recently come to make our homes here.
What enabled us to do this was the presence of some people you have come to know well - Kaz, Shoe, Chaos and the others. They came here from their own world to look after all that lived here, and guide you beings that are so like their form in becoming settled, and in accepting people such as myself who are both humanoid and creature.
Now that the worlds are safe again, and that you have accepted us as we are, it is time for them to return home. They catch their transport home tonight at midnight to return to friends and family who miss them dearly, and the lives they have so graciously put on hold for so long to be here with you all.
We thank them for their services, their advice, and their love, and wish them well going forward.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, now that myself and those like me are once again able to be here, we're hoping to keep things running for you as you know them. There may be a few small tweaks, a little personalisation by each of us, but we will try to not rock the boat too much while you become more accustomed to us.
We're all very pleased to be here, and look forward to speaking and spending more time with you. We sincerely hope you feel the same.
As for the Lunaris Council... they are rather hands off and don't like to interfere in interplanetary affairs, but they are watching over us from the skies, keeping us safe as always.
Take care, my loves, and I will see you in February if not before.
Staff just have a few quick notes to add on to what Eryn has said.
We want to give you a list of what the games have been known as and what they are becoming as of tomorrow (June 15th), along with any extra notes we think you might want or need to know about the updated games!
- "Xero's Pet Research" will become "Dylan’s Pet Project". The game remains the same.
- "Axl's Pet Research" will become "Naoki’s Pet Research". It has been updated to show if you have the pets or not, same as the Aywapedia, and the pet name even links you to the Aywapedia so you can go in search of one to buy! Be careful though - the button to give up shows in the same place as turning in a successful trio, so watch what you're doing!
- "Scavenger Hunt" will become "Miksa’s Pet Bingo". The game is the same, but will bring back the old game mechanism where you cannot use "Search" or the Aywapedia purchase options to find a Pet ID.
- "Talk to Xero" will become "Manju’s Musings". Your old data will be transferred to the new game - but beware, the mechanic that resets your BP amount if you miss a day has been fixed! The day is counted as 00:00:01 to 23:59:59, so you can check in with them any time of the day, just so long as you don't skip it!
- Free Food will now randomise between 1 and 10 items for you, but still feeds all your pets.
- "Tam's Item Quest" will become "Pablo’s Item Quest". This too remains the same, but again has a click through to the Item Directory page for the item they want to make it easier to complete!
- "Kaz and Shoe" will now feature Rowan and Minerva! Our cutest Aywas couple will throw plant pots and blow kisses, and you might even get an item out of it!
- "Tak's CDs" will become "Tech's CDs". Once again the item name will click through to the Item Directory so you can see what they gave you!
- "Rogue's Zapping" will become "Ambriel's Alterations". Other than a new caretaker of the random result, the game will remain the same.
There's also new NPC Plushies for you to collect... Some of them come from the updated games, if you're lucky...
We will have more on those at a later date!

Reluctant Breeders
Pets
We've just discovered that the "breedable" option was left off of the current USD SCC makers. This is a mistake on our part, that we have now fixed, but does mean that any customs made with the following items needs their breedability updated:
Demorona Horn
Feathered Brass Key
Gnawed Bones
Incubated Rooster Egg
Sun Crow Crown
If you have made a pet with one of these items please PM me with the ID of your pet and I will rectify that immediately.
We apologise for the inconvenience, and will work hard to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Bot: The Bakery
Site Update
*Booop Bzzzzzrt*
Good Afternoon my lovely Fleshcreatures, are you having a pleasant Monday? The Slashbot has been informed that many of you dislike Mondays, how could you dislike a day of the week?
The Slashbot tsks quietly
Today the Slashbot is pleased to present you with one of our oldest requests, this one was pre-approved several years ago and is quite unique as something like this will never be approved again as it does not comply with The Slashbots guidelines.
Gibbs 💖 (#250) and Chu (#718) have worked hard to realize their dream of opening a Bakery, and today it is their Grand Opening! The Bakery has been pre-stocked with numerous sweet treats for your consumption. This is a permanent addition to the shops, so you do not have to worry about the pastries spoiling anytime soon.
The Slashbot would like to thank Gibbs and Chu for their patience, and hopes that the Fleshcreatures of this site enjoy this update.
However, there is also more that The Slashbot has to announce!
Point number one, we now allow for Fleshcreatures to use a single Slashbot Stuffing to create a news post for a user-run event or thread. This must be pre-approved by staff, and either you can provide your own news post or The Slashbot will dictate what is said. To add onto this, for two Slashbot Stuffing you can have a side banner for a user-run event or thread; this must also be pre-approved and no animations are allowed.
The second point The Slashbot must make is perhaps the most... important. For you see, The Slashbot has recently upgraded himself and now has arms, legs, and a rather impeccable fashion sense.
You can find The Slashbot, and Chu and Gibbs in the Site Character tab if you wish to read more.

Contests
To while away the time we had a few games on our tumblr and Facebook pages - as promised, here are the results!
In our tumblr "words-in-a-word" game, Ellory (#804) found 69 correct words in "Quolgarian".
Not to be outdone, over on Facebook Tin & Bloo (#9) found a whopping 484 words in "Manticore"!
Both users receive 1SP.
Our Facebook "Design a Downtime" contest had a clear winner in Toby (#24557) with their "ghostly lion with multiple wispy tails. It had a Cheshire grin with little leaves/flowers dancing around it."
They win 2 Downtime Potions and 1SP!
Over on tumblr however we had a three way tie - so we're putting the final decision for our fifth Downtime pet in your hands!
The vote will close Monday 12th June at 00:01 - good luck!
2. A derpy chubby prance-y unicorn with a nub horn
3. Tall, lean jaguar, with large broad ears, antlers draped in moss, ivy climbing up the legs, and floral accessories

Welcome back!
Site Update
Hey guys!
Thank you for being so patient with us. I know it's been a long day without the site - on a weekend no less - but here's an update!
Phase one is completed - the site has been copied to the new servers for testing, to ensure that everything is running smoothly in our new home. We'll be getting our magnifying glasses out and checking for cracks and reporting back to the company for the final complete move (Phase 2) on the 25th.
The good news is that Phase 2 should only take an hour - but as we all know, things can and will go as they please so that is a very conservative and hopeful downtime plan. In any case it should be much shorter than today's outage.
Better news: as you can see, the site is live again! We are still on our old server for the next couple of weeks, so it's business as usual. Don't fret, everything you do will be transferred over!
The Facebook and Tumblr contests are now CLOSED - we will be posting the winners in a news post shortly! The results are now in!

Server Swap
Site Update
New Facebook Page! (get the images? hehe~)
Unfortunately due to a snafu with someone losing the information for the old page (Official Aywas), we decided to start fresh with a new look to go with the upcoming facelift we're giving the site!
So come visit the new Authentic Aywas FB page!
We hope to keep this page updated with up coming events, information on important site changes, and hopefully a lot of chatter too.
We hope to see you there!
Anyone wanting our tumblr page it is over Here! We will keep this one updated too, however it won't be as chatty as the Facebook.
We also do have a site Twitter, but that one seemed to have suffered the same snafu that plagued our original FB pages, so for now it will only echo Tumblr's posts.
Hey guys! Just to let everyone know we will be having some downtime on Saturday June 10th. Our server got bought out so we gotta move to the new servers. In order to preserve all of our information the site itself is going to go down between 2 and 3 am Aywas Time.
You should not lose any of your information during this downtime, we are hoping that it only lasts a few hours but we know how finicky this stuff can go. So just in case, I do recommend pre-downloading any breeding psds you are in the middle of making, any site lines, etc, so you guys can keep working on customs. If you are doing the pool party prediction event make sure to get your rolls done before hand so that you or your artist can work on the predictions during the downtime.
If this goes on longer than we expect I will try to be active on different Aywas' Social Media Platforms to let everyone stay in the loop as well as my own personal tumblr.
