Winners, drop me a message ranking the prizes in order of desire.
Less happily announced, however is this: Aywas is too big of a site to run Scavenger Hunt anymore. Last year's Scavenger Hunt drove the point home that we have too many users, too many teams, to be able to run this event feasibly.
HOWEVER, there is possibility to modify the event to make it more manageable with our much larger userbase. If you have any ideas for that, feel free to let me know. There's a Think Tank post for it!

HA Preview System
Site Update
You will now find a new Preview Wardrobe link next to "Switch Avatar."
Within the Preview Wardrobe system, you will be able to play with the default HA base and try on any wearable clothing item we have on site!
We've had countless requests for a preview feature from new players and veterans alike, so I hope you guys enjoy this! If you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions, please let us know!
(As a note because I've seen quite a few questions about this, the Apocalypse Hound wearables haven't been officially released yet, but because they are in the database, they are obtainable through A Bottomless Trunk. Don't worry, you'll hear more about them!)

The Hound Hybrid Elixir can be picked up in Adventure and will turn your active pet into an Apocalypse Hound-themed hybrid!
Currently, there are 7 hybrids in the potion.
If you check the Aywapedia, any pet with a Season of apobrid can be found inside the elixir.
We've also added a couple new pets to the Downtown area and are hoping to add many more this weekend. :3 Enjoy!

Apocalypse Hound Event Part 3
Comics
Hushed voices fill the courtroom. The stories the suspects told are clearly conflicting---but it appears no more information can be gotten from them. Now... the jury must vote on who they think is guilty. But what if there are cultists in disguise among the jury? What if they cast votes in order to protect who was really behind this?
Voting works the same way it does in design/HA voting, ie:
I think #Molly did it - GOOD
molly did it - BAD
#molly did it - GOOD
#Will
#Molly
#Annie
#Mackenzie
#Ailith
