Just a quick reminder that you have about 24 hours to spend the rest of your Cupcake Tokens and catch any carnival pets that might not've made their way into your net yet!
The shop and pets will be pulled after July 21, 2013 at 11:59 p.m.
Thank you!

New NPCs!
Site Update
If you've been following our tumblr posts, you may know that we've been redesigning new NPCs to expand the lore universe and start working on worldbuilding. The five newest characters are now available in the Site Characters section. Hopefully they give their respective features some flavor!
If there are any pets you'd love to see turned into an NPC, do be sure to share that suggestion with us!

Scav Prizes
Site Update
Information on Scavenger Hunt Prizes
I have spent a while crunching numbers and calculating the general worth of the previous year's Scavenger Prizes. One of the suggestions in the Scavenger Hunt board was to open up a prize shop where players could select the prizes that they desire, instead of getting a package of some desired and some potentially undesired prizes.
The Scavenger Hunt Prize Shop is what we will be experimenting with for this Scavenger Hunt. Items previously and newly available as prizes will be placed into the shop for their approximate GP value, and the players can distribute their earned points at the end of the event to purchase the prizes they value most.
Below are some of the prizes you can expect in the Prize Shop.
This list is not exhaustive.
Scav Paint items will be making a new debut with new item art!

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
$100 Amazon Giftcard
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
$100 Amazon giftcard
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Updated Pet Shop Stock!
Pets
As some of you may have noticed, the Little Pet Shop of Horrors has received a new stock of pets! They're eager and awaiting new loving owners!
In case you weren't aware, the Pet Shop is on a stock rotation schedule with the stock changing every 3 months. After the 3 months, the pets currently in stock will be permanently retired and a new stock will replace them. So get them while you can!
If you want to have the chance of getting a design of yours into the pet shop, go ahead and submit them to the Pet Coloration Submissions forum. Most of the submitted designs will be put into Adventure, but some random designs will be kept to go into the pet shop!
If your design is now in the pet shop please contact Kyu (#1010) for your free copy. That's right, if your design is accepted and put in the shop you get a free copy. That could save you a good amount of BP!
