PLBC Predicts
Site Update
Now that we have had some time to analyze the content submitted through the window, PLBC predicts are now allowed until further notice.
Also, due to lack of use, the PMBC shops are being discontinued. PMBC predicts will be handled the same as PLBC - you may commission an artist for your predict and submit it without the use of a Painted Pen.
Please be sure to observe the predict ceilings:
PLBC: $4 USD (via Paintbrushes) or 8 GP
PMBC: $3 USD (via Paintbrushes) or 6 GP

Teo Adoption Drops
Site Update
Teos in the adoption center can drop either in their actual genus, or in a random genus to offset the enormous advantage that Goggle users have in finding them. They are still dropped in both ways, but there is no telling which way any particular egg or batch will be dropped.

Cracked Teacups - HIV/AIDS Fundraiser
Site Update

The Cracked Teacup is a custom creator that will create a Teacup Mouse (with up to 30% edits) and is a reward that we will give you in exchange for a donation to a charity or organization that helps with HIV/AIDS research, treatment, support, etc.
HIV/AIDS affects millions of people worldwide, and their loved ones. Despite the stereotypes associated with this disease, HIV/AIDS can infect anyone, regardless of sexuality, gender, race, geography, income, or any of the factors we typically use to divide ourselves. The common denominator in those suffering from HIV/AIDS is the very thing that connects us together--our humanity.
Therefore, we encourage you to help a fellow human being out and make an impact on their life with a donation that can fund research for a cure, treatment, and other resources.

Click the image above to download the 400 x 400 PSD.
The Cracked Teacup item you receive can then be used to create a custom Teacup Mouse, beautifully done by Phee (#18786). If tea alone doesn't make you feel better, maybe the cute little mouse will help!
Below are the details for how to obtain a Cracked Teacup from a donation:
- Donate a minimum of $10 USD* (or equivalent) to a non-profit charity/organization of your choice that supports HIV/AIDS research, resources, efforts, etc.
- Send an e-mail to me with your proof of donation/receipt; the address to use is [email protected]. When emailing, please include your name and user ID, otherwise I won't know who to deliver the Cracked Teacup to!
- Donation must be made and proof turned in by May 27th, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. but the Cracked Teacup item itself works indefinitely.
*We will give you a Cracked Teacup for every 10 USD (or equivalent) increment you donate to an appropriate non-profit charity/organization. So if you donate $10, you will get 1 Cracked Teacup. If you donate $50, you will get 5 Cracked Teacups. If you donate $15, you will get 1 Cracked Teacup.

Above is Kei's custom Teacup Mouse, Ciel!
If you're looking for information on HIV/AIDS or suggested places to donate, here are a few resources:
amfAR | UNICEF | UN AIDS | ACET International | AVERT
Any non-profit HIV/AIDS charity or organization is acceptable -- there is no requirement about the organization being local, national, in a particular country, etc. If you have any questions about whether or not the one you're planning on donating to would be acceptable, or any other related inquiries, feel free to PM or email me or Kei (#4690). :3
Thank you, and let's clink our teacups to a cure!
