Scavenger Hunt reminders
Site Update
Some important reminders and announcements to hunters:
Scavenger Hunt Rules
Be sure to read the Knowledge Base carefully and make sure you understand all the rules, especially #8, which was clarified, and #12a, and #20 which were added.
Rules questions and clarifications
These threads are important to look through at least once a day to make sure you have completed the task to the judges' specifications.
Do not PM admins or the Scavenger Hunt account with task questions
The five Scavenger Hunt judges want to make it clear that nothing but reports of cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct should be sent to Scavenger Hunt account (#2). Task questions should not be sent to any staff member. One point will be deducted from a team if one of its members violates this rule, for each instance it is violated.
The task list is now live!
If you're part of a team your Scavenger Hunt task list is located here. This is also where you'll be turning in your task proof! There's also a task list on tumblr but beware that it may not exactly match the tasks on site.
Good luck and play fairly!

August's Premium Item
Items
The premium monthly item has been set with something I think you'll find useful, especially if you're a pet collector -- Disappearing Ink!
This potion will change your active pet into a random coloration that you are missing.
Best of luck if you go for the gamble. :3
(Edit: Forgot to mention! If your premium ran out August 1-3 and you couldn't collect the item, PM me and I will get that taken care of for you.)
I also wanted to post a quick reminder before running the Teo Ticket raffle!
To be eligible for the raffle, be sure to have your ticket in your inventory (not your shop stock, an item auction, etc.). This is essentially your 24 hour warning before a winner is drawn. Good luck! :)

Scavenger Hunt Countdown
Site Update
Effort Prizes
The Effort Prizes give a whole new dimension to the Scavenger Hunt game. You can choose to focus your efforts on turning out excellent quality task results instead of focusing on completing as many as possible.
An Effort Prize can be won by a single team member for their effort in creating an excellent task result.
One prize will be awarded to each single winner. The prize rewarded depends on the entry. Prizes will not be awarded more than once. This is the prize pot:
Game Master Status
500 GP
Custom Teo ($50 artist pay credit)
Winner's Stash
A special prize pot for winners, giving them a chance at one of the rare items... each time a ticket is pulled, the winner can select one prize, and so on until all prizes are declined.
250 GP
Custom Teo ($50 artist pay credit)

Job Opening - Official Pet Colorist
Site Update
Have you always wanted to be an official site artist? Do you love coloring and editing site pets?
Then you might be interested in our new job opening!
We are seeking a few people to fill permanent/long-term pet colorist roles.
In this position, you will essentially be behind the scenes creating colorations for the Aywapedia, mostly for user and site events, holidays, etc., (though customs will also be requested from time to time) and will be working with me. :D
To read more about the job description and to apply, please click here!
Good luck!
There's no official deadline, as we will use the thread as needed, but it would be to your benefit to post sooner rather than later, since I would like to make hiring decisions in a week or so. :3

Welcome to August!
Site Update
Welcome to the anticipated month of August!
Go on an early morning adventure with our GP Shop pets!
Then an evening stroll with a BP Shop pet companion!
If you colored one of these awesome pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-August) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The Essence of August 2014 is based on a peach in honor of national peach month!
Using this potion on your active pet will randomly change it to one of the colorations above. Take a bite and see what you get!
The premium monthly item will be available after we run the raffle for July's premium Teo Ticket and complete the item transformation, which should happen in the next day or so. :3
We are on our fifth Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac series!
Remember, the Holly Lunaris is currently reigning over the skies through August 4th, then a new birthday feline will take over!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
September Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
September Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
September Monthly Customs
Theme: Maps
Good luck with your entries!
Remember, the Nova custom makers are remaining in the GP/BP Shops for August, then will return to the Premium Outlet for September before cycling back to GP/BP in October and November.
Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes!
Did you notice the Welcome Back page is back?!
All of our programmers are very busy bees, and we'll hopefully have a lot of individual coding updates for you later this month.
I did want to also make a quick announcement that Fauna Day is still planned, but we ran into a background snafu that caused it to be bumped back a bit, and we didn't want it running into scav. Look out for Azi's event in the second half of August!
Speaking of Scavenger Hunt, our famous game will be taking over the site in just a few days, but we do have other activities set for the coming weeks, like the return of the Lunar Meteor area. :3
Get ready for a fun and crazy ride!
Scav is coming.
