I think the item's description nicely sets the tone for the following post:
"For only ten easy payments of $99.99 you thought you'd get a worthwhile companion, but instead you just get drool and sparkles. No refunds!"
It's also a flash sale - you can get it in Trash for Treasure for today only!
That's right! This item will leave the shop at 11:59pm 10th August.
Grab one while stocks last.
(And happy 27th birthday to Frey, the Paleo-obsessed breeding admin!)
(Who shouldn't fix typos in news posts because then it becomes hilarious XD)

Trivia & Weekly Raffle!
Site Update
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that Trivia and Raffle Crystals will be done next week, both because of the hunt and because my Internet connection is unfortunately not playing very nice with me today.
Hope that those of you playing Scav are holding up alright. :3
(And have better 'net than I do. XD)

Adventure Pets! (Double Trouble!)
Pets
Congratulations to Gigikat (#11625) for winning a Blue Custom Orb in our monthly Pet Coloration Submissions Forum Raffle 2 weeks ago! (Sorry this was drawn a bit late!)
Some Adventure pets have appeared and are ready to be caught and join your cozy lair! Since the release 2 weeks ago was skipped, we have a batch of 12 to release instead of the normal 6.
Don't Panic!
These pets will not be needed during the Scavenger Hunt.
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! There's also a chance that the designs accepted from that forum will go into the Pet Shop! Remember, you can earn SP!
If your design is now released as a site pet please contact Kyu (#1010) for your free copy.

Clarification
Contests
There was a small error in the Scav news post where it said to not PM an admin.
Please do not PM any staff about questions you might have regarding Scav, or about rule-breaking behaviour.
If it is related to a task, ask in that Task's thread. If it is otherwise related to Scav, ask in the Help forum where other users may be able to clarify, or I will if absolutely necessary.
To repeat,
Please do not PM any staff about questions you might have regarding Scav.
Only PM (#2) in the event of having to report cheating or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Due to the error in the news post points will not be deducted for having messaged a non-admin member of staff, but will be from now on.
Also another quick reminder to read the knowledgebase article because I've been made aware that some users are asking questions that have already been covered by this.

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)

We are seeking a few people to fill permanent/long-term pet colorist roles.

To read more about the job description and to apply, please click here!

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
