Site Update
It looks like this Vyne lost a few eggs!
I wonder what's in them? Well, there's only one way to find out. *wink*
The cheery Easter Egg Field is now officially open and ready to be filled with pretty painted shells!
(You will find this link up under Community shortly.)
If this is your first time hippity-hopping to the fields, listen up for some bunny good tips!
To play, first you'll need to click on Deposit an Egg, which will bring up the option to either put in an item or put in a pet. Once you make your selection, you will be presented with a menu of assorted shells; choose your egg, then pick something to hide inside! Note: Each egg must also contain a minimum of 1000 BP, and your goodies will be r30 or higher. Yes, you are choosing from your own inventory/lair.
Once you deposit an egg, you are then eligible to claim one! For every egg you deposit, you can claim one as well, but there is a 10-minute timer on claiming. There is no limit to the amount of eggs you can deposit.
Admins will also be hiding some extra shiny eggs in the field~
And now for a quick disclaimer!
Even though your name is not publicly attached to the eggs, it is still attached to everything you deposit and collect in the database, so please be mindful of what you're putting into them. Please don't make me fry everyone's eggs and put on my grumpy bunny suit, it's not very flattering. ;~;
We'll have the Easter Egg Field open for the rest of the month, so you have plenty of time to enjoy it. :)
Stay tuned for developments in the Easter Painter and some festivities this weekend.
We also encourage you to chat about the field in Aywas Talk, as this is a community event. c:
Cheers!

To The Victors The Spoils!
Site Update
Ah, you did not think I would not reward those who fought so valiantly? Indeed, even those who fought on the wrong side were fighting what they believed to be right, and therefore I will reward even them.

In addition to this, to all those who fought bravely - and even you who took no side and sold your pieces instead (one cannot deny those that saw the opportunity to create profit) - an extra commemorative piece has been placed in the Advent.
Sits pretty, doncha think?
Prizes will be sent out shortly.

Off With My Head?
Site Update
Ah dear... it would seem that the delightful sentiment that I've been getting on my profile and in my inbox about liberating my head from my shoulders will need to be put on hold, my poor Rebellion.
Not only did my minions find more pieces than you, the top 10 overall seems to be 6:4 in my favour also!
It was a valiant effort, dear resistance, but you seem to have failed to overcome my children of the Eve-ning.
I will be merciful, however - I have proven time and again that I hold no animosity to you poor misguided people.
You are all welcome to join my children of the Eve-ning.
Now... who feels like a celebratory feast?

A wild Willow Lunaris has appeared!
Pets
The beautiful Willow Lunaris is the second in our series of thirteen inspired by Celtic tree astrology and coinciding with lunar months. Those of you with birthdays from April 15th - May 12th will receive a copy of this feline on your special day if you visit Aywas and click the birthday link!
(If your birthday is today and you already collected the Alder Lunaris, but would like the Willow instead, please PM Kyu (#1010) with a link to your pet to get that switched! And happy birthday! :D)
You can view all current and past zodiac Lunaris collections in the Knowledge Base as well. :3
We hope you're enjoying the latest theme!

DETHRONE THE QUEEN!
Random Silliness
*looks around carefully*
Shhhh... I think she's asleep. Quickly, quickly, lets gather.
Those Slashbots may have fallen apart but the pieces they left behind are valuable. If we can gather enough of them we might be able to overthrow the queen's takeover...
Quietly now, head on over here and decide whose side you are on.
Will you join the resistance with me and bring Aywas back to its rightful state?
or will you take sides with the evil Eveglori and bring chaos to Aywas?
Pick a side and find those slashbot pieces. All of you in the resistance, I am counting on you to find more pieces than the minions. If we find more we will win! Gather as many as you can before Tuesday April 15 at 11:59 PM AST.
Hurry now, I think she's stirring. Run and find your places before she gets back!
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

Turtle Spawning Season
Site Update
This is the final roundup call for Turtle Egg submissions - you've got a few more hours before the stroke of midnight. Remember that the deadline applies to new submissions, not designs that have been rejected and are trying again.
I keep track of turtles which were bumped (for white backgrounds or over edited, etc.) and you can resubmit those at your leisure. Anything in the Crystal Check or Copyright Check lines is also safe, regardless of when you get a response. I've mentioned this before but figured it was worth a reiteration given these types of events always attract a large number of first time submissions. : )
Crystal Check and Custom Queues should be picking back up this week in speed, the sudden spawning of thousands of turtles put a bit of a crimp in the turnaround times.
