Site Update
Let's bounce into May with a field full of new GP Shop pets!
And now we'll swing over to the BP Shop for more month-themed pretties!
If you colored one of these incredible pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will bury your crayons in the garden.
Care to taste the fragrant Essence of May 2013 cultivated from the deep forests of Ay and Ara?
Though this potion is modeled after the Lily of the Valley, I assure you it is safe for your pets to drink--that is, if you want your active pet changed into one of the May 2013 monthlies!
Our May Lunaris got hit with a bad case of allergies, but as soon as it's ready to fly down to our May babies, we'll let you know!
The Premium Monthly Item is a fancy Master Key!
This is a regenerating item that will yield a random amount of Treasure Chest Keys (between 1 and 10). It regenerates once a week. Even if you're not an avid Adventurer, I'm sure this will come in handy during events! *eyes Downtown*
The Master Key item was inspired by some discussion in our new Think Tank forum, so make sure you continue to utilize this space. :3
The new monthly contests have been announced!

Busy bees behind the scenes!
Yasu is focusing on addressing battle/adventure issues along with cron adjustments and downtime residue, which I am also assisting with. I will personally be tending to the weekly HA contest this month, so please keep an eye out for a news post over the next few days for proper ways to report your particular issue and how to get reimbursed.
Nova has just about finished up another project for everyone that I hope to reveal by the end of this week!
As he gets acclimated to more and more of our systems, he'll be that much more equipped to take on larger features.
I also wanted to give you a heads up that though we're busy with a Slashbot event now, there's many more to come over the next couple of months as we get things back on track and move forward full force!
If you want to know what suggestions are on the coding to-do list, check out the official To-Do List forum! I am slowly but surely moving threads over to this area as they are accepted and queued up for implementing.
Speaking of getting things back on schedule, there may be a breeding season announcement in the near future...
I will also have announcements on Raw Pets, moderators, and more!
Here's to a happy and healthy May on Aywas!
(And don't forget to check out the awesome array of news updates below if you haven't already.)

Apocalypse Hound Event Part 2
Comics
Finally, after an arduous chase, the suspects for the killings were caught---standing over their latest liverless victim, no less.
Detective Putman immediately took the five into police custody. Indeed, they were the Jacks. The rookie wannabe-mobsters had finally graduated from misdemeanors to beyond felonies.
But things were not as clear cut as Lester and Putman had hoped. Immediately, the suspects broke out into a roar of accusations, bargaining, and pleas of innocence.
"Call the city council," Putman said to Lester. "We need them in the courthouse as soon as possible."
"What?" asked Lester, unsure if he had heard the Oakl correctly.
"You heard me." His partner replied. "We're men of order. Just because the city has gone to hell doesn't give us the right to cast aside the law. We will run the trial as soon as possible."
"What? But what about the cult!? If these kids are as important to the cult if we think, then what if they try and strike back?"
"They won't," Putman assured. "If these kids are as important to the cult as we think, they wouldn't dare risk it."
And so the five suspects were taken in for questioning...
The trial is sure to follow after...

Something in the water...
Comics
Hmm, something strange seems to be in the water supply of Downtown... it seems that when exposed to an unstable breeding coin, the water can cause some... abnormalities... in the resulting eggs. Namely, hatching into a horrible toothy dog monster.
In other words, any Radioactive Breeding Coin breeding submitted today, May 1st, has a slim chance of turning up a metal Apocalypse Hound babby if the breeding rolls a non-mutant! But the citizens of Downtown are working fast to clean up the water, so these toxic effects will only be in effect for one day.
