The spooky season has arrived - you can now access the Ghoulish Gala Hub, which is located under the Community tab! You can also make some friends (or enemies) through Trick or Treating! Here's a quick refresher on how it works!
Sending Requests
You can visit the Trick or Treating page to start. Listed there are currently online Aywans interested in accepting Trick or Treat requests. Just click on the "Trick or Treat" button below their name to send the request. You can send requests to an Aywan every 30 minutes. This page will update itself when an Aywan's online status changes.
Processing Requests
On the side menu of the site, there's a Trick or Treat status box. As you receive requests, your visitor count will change. You can click this number (or go to My Visitors) to view your requests. From there, you'll have the option to trick or treat your visitor.
Treating visitors will cost 1,000 BP each at minimum.
Tricking visitors is free!You have 15 minutes to respond to a Trick or Treat request before it expires.
If trick or treating your fellow Aywans isn't for you, don't forget that you can always Trick or Treat the NPCs instead! Swing by the Site Characters page and trick or treat them when they are available.
Located on the Trick or Treat status box is a Karma Meter. As you send trick or treat requests or trick visitors, you will incur negative (orange) karma. Vise-versa, treating users will give you positive (blue) karma. Both karma levels have their benefits and risks, so experiment around!

The Pumpkin Patch is now open as well! Remember, any and all messages left in pumpkins must follow the Terms of Service. Additionally, the pumpkins cannot be tagged as [M]ature, so do not put anything that may need this tag into the pumpkins. If you pick up a pumpkin that violates either of these rules, please PM a staff member. Be kind, and have fun!
Starting tomorrow, October 21st, you will be able to collect one festive item per day from the Advent Calendar! Will it be a yummy treat or something spooky? Check in every day to find out!

You can now collect herbs from the Greenhouse to use in Rowan's Potion Brewing, but be wary of what you grab - Minerva is watching!

The Spooky Forest is now open! As you adventure through it, you will be able to pick up Bootato, which will be one of the currencies used for the Seasonal Shop! You can find any pets that you may have missed out on from previous years, along with a few new ones!

An Update!
Site Update



Hey all! We're coming to you today with a bit of an update.
Due to unforeseen circumstances outside of Aywas, we do not bring any updates regarding the recode and cannot give a time frame for any future updates at this time. We understand that this is not ideal but we greatly appreciate your patience.
In the meantime, however, we have decided to reopen the Suggestions and Ideas forum! We will be limiting suggestions to those which do not require coding. Please make sure to read the updated sticky and related threads to understand the new suggestion guidelines.
Please remember that this forum is for constructive and respectful suggestions. When offering your ideas please be advised that mean-spirited and/or rude comments will be removed followed by disciplinary action if necessary.

Black Friday: Submissions
Events

It's almost that time of year again - the Black Friday Sale! This year, the sale will run November 14th to November 19th. While we'll have more information for you in regards to the actual sale when it's not so far away, here's some crucial information for those who would like to participate by creating sets:
You may create a set from any of the Exotic Genera (Teo, Faux, Snoodle, or Oët).
A set is 5 custom pets with identical edits, all colored uniquely. If your set is accepted, you are also permitted 1 semi-unique that you can turn in at that time or at a later date.
All applications must be PM'd to Mayday Marie (#11) with the following subject line: Black Friday 2024 - [email protected] - please replace the e-mail with your PayPal address.
You must PM Mayday Marie (#11) with a sketch for for approval! Your sketches must be either 200px or 400px, and they should not be a screenshot of your canvas. If you send Marie a finished product without doing this first, we do not have to accept it. If you make more sets than the ones we approve you to do, we do not have to accept them.
You must also send Mayday Marie (#11) examples of your shading and coloring - please embed them as an image that does not exceed 600px and not a link. If you send more than 5 examples, you may be asked to choose which ones you feel best represent your current work.
Users may only submit 3 sketches at a time. If more are submitted you will be asked to choose 3 of them to be assessed. Additional sketches will not be assessed until accepted sketches are submitted as complete sets. There will be no exceptions.
All sets should be between 50% - 75%. If your set is spectacular, we will accept less edits.
We are allowing very few silvers! We will not be accepting a dozen Teos that only have the tails left.
All PSDs must be breedable! This means separated edits, shading, highlights, coloring, etc. We will not accept pets that are unbreedable, and we will be checking PSDs.
All sets must be completed and turned in to Mayday Marie (#11) by 11:59 PM AST on November 8th!
The payment options are as follows:
$50 paid after Black Friday is over; you must sell at least one coloration of your set on Day 1 or Day 2 to be able to claim this option!
100 GP + 5 SP paid once the set is finished.
No base pay, however you are granted a 75% unique of any of the exotic genera creatable this Black Friday. (You are welcome to sell this slot as well, however you must do part of the artwork for it.)
1 Black Friday Egg for the $50 Day. If you do two sets, then you can trade both payments in for 1 Black Friday Egg for the first day!The sell out bonus will work the same as it has been: should your set sell out on day 1 (November 15th) you get a bonus of $75, day 2 (November 16th) is $50 and day 3 (November 17th) is $25.

You can review this information and more at any time in the Exotic Sale Guide Knowledge Base article. If you are looking to collaborate with another artist for the sale, please make sure to review all of the information under "Artist Collaboration" in the article before applying.
