T4T: Wear Your Heart On Your Hip
Items
Valentines Day is the international awareness day for people born with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD). Every year, children are born with heart defects, that may very well end up affecting them for the rest of their lives. Wear this nice messenger bag to show support for those literally born with a broken heart.
This lovely item will be in stock until February 20th =)

Bot: Shiny and New
Site Update
*Beep Boop*
Come one, come all, to see the newly reinvigorated Slashbot!
*Beeeeeep Beep*
It has been a long and tiring process but we have got all the springs, nuts and bolts put back where they should be and the Slashbot is fully functioning once more!
That being said, the Slashbot is completely buried under work! While we were cleaning up we discovered there are over 50 Slashbots, Stuffing or Handheld Worlds in queue at this very moment! That is, at the very best, almost 3 years worth of events, species, shops, and whatever else you guys have thought up (We are quite impressed with your creativity)!
For shorthand purposes, We will be referring to any Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing, or Handheld World simply as "Slot".
To try to prevent this backlog from happening again, Slashbots have had a major revamp. Please see the Knowledge Base Article for the full description.
As of February 11th, 2016, the amount of Slashbot Slots, Stuffing, and Handheld worlds you possess directly influences what you are permitted to do. Some examples of how this will work, taken from the KB Article:
1 Slashbot Slot - Add a new genus, add a new alt line, or a single day event without an adventure zone
2 Slashbot Slots - Save a raw, add a new pet with 5 site colorations, new hybrid, or a small event with custom adventure zone
3 Slashbot slots - New genus with alt lines and 5 site colorations, or a medium event with custom adventure zone
4 Slashbot Slots - Large event with custom adventure zone
These are, obviously, just examples. If you have an idea that is not listed here, or questions, please PM Slashbot (#3) so we can discuss what is needed before you purchase your slots.
This change is not retroactive, so anyone who has already sent a message to Slashbot (#3) will not be affected.
We understand that you guys have been waiting a very long time for your slots to be used, and some of you are not even interested in the slot anymore, or are currently sitting on some Slashbot Stuffing not even sure what to do with it, or may not like the new changes. So we have created a new, temporary solution to try to thin out the ranks.
We would like to introduce you to the
Slashbot Shop!
Due to the extent of the backlog, for one week we are allowing users to break the #1 rule of Slashbots: That they cannot be used for personal gain. The Slashbot Shop will remain open until Friday, February 19th 11:59pm AST, if you would like to turn in your Slashbot, Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing or Handheld World please read the following very carefully.
Pricing
For shorthand purposes, We will be referring to any Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing, or Handheld World simply as "Slot".
1 Unqueued Slot is worth 250 slashbot points (Unqueued meaning you have not messaged Slashbot (#3) to begin discussing your request prior to the news post on January 23rd 2016)
1 Queued Slot is worth 350 slashbot points + 2 points per month you have been waiting, the total rounded up to the nearest 5th! (You have already messaged Slashbot (#3))
1 Whole Slashbot can be exchanged for a special Slashbot Reward (see the bottom of the Shop) and 250 points, or exchanged for 2,000 slashbot points, with a limit of 10 of each chosen item.
Please be aware that some of the items in the Slashbot Shop do have either account limits or site wide limits. For the site wide limits it will be first come, first serve.
This offer is available to anyone with a Slashbot, Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing or Handheld World whose Slashbot has not already had some form of launch.
If you have a Slashbot or Unqueued slot you wish to trade in, please PM Slashbot (#3) with the subject title: Slashbot Exchange. If you have a Queued slot you wish to use, please Bump your PM with Slashbot (#3) and tell us you wish to exchange. We will respond to your PM with further instructions.
If you are exchanging a Slashbot Slot, please be prepared to provide evidence of where you bought the slot, unless we have already contacted you regarding it.
For every slot that you exchange you will be given a free Metal Xentori Flute, and if you exchange three slots you can choose to get a free Blue Xentori Flute instead of three metal flutes.
The Xentori is a unique SCC species, designed by Tooki, that it has Three metal bases, and when you submit a Metal Flute you get to choose which one you want, when you submit a Blue Flute you get to choose which one you edit.
The Metal and Blue Xentori Flutes are also available for purchase in the Slashbot Shop.
If you do wish to keep your currently Queued Slashbot Slots now is the time to please Bump your PM's with us, telling us if you wish to continue with your original ideas or if you have thought of something new. Everyone whose event has not had some sort of release are able to change their ideas if they desire, however if your event has already been approved and you want to change it we will have to re-approve it.
We will be going through the Slashbots as quickly as we can, and we will go in order of who came first, even if your use has to be re-approved.
As we are trying to get the events, features, and other fun stuff rolling, we have discovered we are going to need a lot of different art types! So we have opened up an Application thread for anyone interested in doing random art. Some of the art we will need are items, backgrounds, fauna, clothing, NPC art, etc. So if you are an artist and want to apply for something please post in that thread and as we progress through the queue we may be in contact with you!
Thank you for sticking with us through this, and we hope to get back on track quickly! If you have any questions feel free to PM us on Slashbot (#3) or post in the news comments and we will attempt to get back to you quickly!
For future reference, all Slashbot News titles will begin with Bot: so they will be easily searchable!
Please make sure to check out the post below about the new Predict Caps!

Predict Price Ceilings & Predict Time Notice
Site Update
*Jingle Jingle*
I hear the sound of... money?
We're happy to tell you that the predict price ceilings have been updated!
As of this news post, the price ceilings are as follow:
GP Price Ceilings
15 GP per baby = Breeding Coin, Holiday Breeding Coin, Evil Breeding Coin
8 GP per baby = Painted Lesser Breeding Coin
6 GP per baby = Painted Metal Breeding Coin
5 GP per baby = Lesser Breeding Coin, Half a Lesser Breeding Coin
3 GP per baby = Metal Breeding Coin
2 GP per mutant or 4 GP per normal baby = Radioactive Breeding Coin
150,000 BP per baby or 6 babies for 1 GP = Derp Breeding Coin
USD Price Ceilings
- A single MBC prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $2.00 USD
- A single LBC or PMBC prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $3.00 USD
- A single PLBC prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $4.00 USD
- A single 30% edited BC/HBC/etc prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $10.00 USD
- A single 50% edited BC/HBC/etc prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $15.00 USD
- A single 75% edited BC/HBC/etc prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $20.00 USD
Please be aware that the HBC GP price ceiling has decreased to properly match the other BC-type coins. If you have active commissions that were commissioned prior to this news post under the old price for HBC predictions, that is fine. But going forward please make sure you do not accept commissions for more than the new price ceiling.
A small note: Please be aware that if a breeding is in the queue for more than one month and does not have a predict baby attached it will be assigned. Be sure to check the 'will have predicts box' if you plan to submit one!

Speedy Breeding Tickets
Site Update
We wanted to give you a heads up that the Speedy Breeding Ticket's current use is being discontinued.
If you wanted to use this item for its current use for picking Drei or Mally as the artist for your HBC, BC, or LBC breeding, you have 24 hours to attach the add-on to your breeding and to specify which artist in the notes.
As for what it will do in the future... you'll have to wait and see! ;)
