Slashbot: Stuffing Changes and Xentori Flutes
Site Update
Good evening meatlings. I'm back again, did you miss me? I have recently discovered something commonly referred to as 'mustard'. I am intrigued by the yellow hue... But I will not trouble you with that.
It comes with great pleasure that I am able to announce some changes to how Slashbot functions, so please read carefully!
As of October 10 11:59pm the number of Slashbot Stuffings required for uses is changing. They are detailed below, as well as written in the Slashbot article which can be read here.
1 Slashbot Slot - Staff approved news post for a user run event
2 Slashbot Slots - Add a new genus, add a new alt line, single day events without an adventure zone, have a side banner leading to an onsite link
3 Slashbot Slots - Add a new pet with 5 site colorations, add a new hybrid, small event with a custom adventure zone
4 Slashbot Slots - New genus with alt lines and 5 site colorations, or a medium event with a custom adventure zone
5 Slashbot Slots - Large event with a custom adventure zone
These changes are not retroactive, so make sure to send your PMs to #3 before this deadline!
Additionally, you are now able to trade in for Xentori Flutes at any time. The Metal Xentori Flute is used to create a metal custom on any of the "metal" bases. The Blue Xentori Flute is used to create a 50% edited Xentori!
You can trade in one Slashbot Stuffing for a Metal Xentori Flute, or three Stuffings for a Blue Xentori Flute.
The PSD can be accessed by clicking this link, or it is linked down the bottom of the Slashbot Knowledge Base article.
Please PM #3 if you would like to trade in some of your Stuffings!
That is all for now, my precious fleshcreatures... Perhaps we will talk again soon.

The Spooky Forest is now open for your exploration pleasure! There are a handful of new pets for you to collect, and there will be more added during the next two weekends as well! In the Spooky Forest, you will be able to find Bootato, which are the seasonal currency alongside your Candy. You'll also want to make sure to pick up a few items here and there, since...
... Frankenstein's Lab is now up and running! There are recipes to make five pets, but what you will need will vary from pet to pet. You will have the entire rest of the month to gather what you need, so don't stress if you can't find everything right away!
Have you found yourself collecting too many herbs? Well, you're in luck! Rowan's Potion Brewing is now open so that you may create various potions. One will even grant you two of the harder to obtain herbs from the Greenhouse, which may be beneficial to those who can't seem to shake Minerva off their trail.
The winner of the Halloween Concoction poll is Ay Hybrid M - Z! Thank you to everyone voted, and we hope that you all are looking forward to seeing the new alternate line art that will be added even if it wasn't your first choice!
Don't forget to check out the news post below if your Rowan's Coupon did not seem to regenerate after you used it! The item should now be regenerating properly at three days.

Rowan's Coupon Error
Items
It appears that Minerva did not want to let any of the Rowan's Coupons go! If you have used your Rowan's Coupon, please PM Lacia (#25044) with the subject "Rowan's Coupon" and the following information:
How you acquired the item. We will need to know if you received it as an award in the Snapdragon Ceremony or if you purchased the item from another user. If you purchased it from another user, please state who it was and what method you used (i.e. User Shops, Trading Post, etc.).As of this moment, any Rowan's Coupon used will have a regeneration time, but it will be one day instead of three as a temporary fix. We will be working on getting the correct regeneration time applied to the item soon and will be ensuring that everyone affected receives their item back. We apologize for any inconvenience!

Slashbot Presents: Community Auction Day
Random Silliness
Good evening fleshlings. Are you doing well? I am terribly sorry to interrupt your spooky festivities. However, I have a very exciting message from Tooki (#42928), so please spare a moment of your time to read on.
We like pets, I'm fairly sure you like pets too, so let's get some new pets!
Several super lovely denizens of the Aywas Affiliated discord have banded together for a lively day of pet sales in the auction house. Anyone is free to participate, discord member or not!
Pet Auctions can be found here!
A wide variety of freshly created pets will all be entering the auction house all due to END on the same day on October 25. These are being created by a wide range of artists, both edited pets & metal pets, anything is fair game. The artists are picking their own end times for the auction day, and their preferred currency type (GP or BP) and minimum increment, so this can vary.
This thread is a den of positive vibes for sharing work and chatter related to the auction day, which can be found here!
The ping group for this mini user-run community event is:
'CommunityAuctionDay'
Please add it to your ping list to be alerted for any interesting updates and reminders as the big day approaches!
All auctions will be due to END on:
It will be a full day of auction house bidding fun!

T4T: You Can Try To Resist
Items
It's usually not recommended to feed coyotes, but when you take one of these home I'd recommend you do! It might not dance on a bar, or enjoy beer and peanuts, but it could be the perfect guard for you while trick or treating. No one's going to come for your candy with one of these by your side!
This lovely HA companion will be in stock in the Trash for Treasure shop until 11:59pm on November 2nd - so make sure you get one!

Welcome to October, Part 1
Site Update
Starting off, we have our GP Shop and BP Shop pets!
If you colored one of these pets, please contact Lacia (#25044) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-October) so we have time to snag 'em!
The Essence of October 2020 will turn your active pet into one random October 2020 pet listed above! The image will be updated once we receive the correct one.
A cute Lunaris friend has squeaked on by to wish those born in October a happy birthday! Despite its name, its ears aren't big enough to fly with, but it can fly with magic so there's that!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here!
If you missed your Lunaris or have further questions regarding them, please contact Chelle (#7310).

The new monthly contests have been announced!
November Monthly Shop Pets: Enter

Good luck with your entries!
The Jeweled and Rock Custom Crystal pets will be announced in Welcome to October, Part 2 over the weekend!
If you want to be a Jeweled Custom Artist, please visit the hiring thread!
Don't forget - the Black Friday Exotic Sale happens next month! As a reminder, the sale will run from November 19th to November 24th, with November 12th being the deadline for anyone submitting sets! If you would like to submit a set and need a refresher on the expectations and how things work, please review the Knowledge Base article!
Congratulations to Paramnesia (#79964) for winning a Gold Custom Orb through the September Pet Coloration forum raffle!
If you would like to enter the monthly raffles, you can submit your designs here! Each accepted design is counted as one entry. Remember, you can earn SP and a Restyle Brush!
With pendants becoming predict-only, there will be a change coming to the Radioactive Breeding Pendant. As they are now, you can find them in the SP Shop for 50 SP, and they have a chance to "break," similar to the Radioactive Breeding Coin. The change will be that they will cost 75 SP, but the chance of it breaking will be completely removed. You will still be able to roll for a chance to create a metal baby rather than a Mutant as well!
This change will go into effect on December 1st, giving everyone approximately two months to accumulate SP and make any purchases at the lower price before this change rolls out.
As a reminder, you can earn SP for your written entry winning in the Story Game, getting on the High Score board for a game in the Game List, and for submitting pets to the Event threads!
October brings a little something extra every year - Halloween, which has now been officially named the Ghoulish Gala. It seems that some spirits were a little upset that they weren't invited to the previous gala and have made their own! While all of the features aren't available yet, you can access the Ghoulish Gala Hub for quick and easy navigation to all of the activities you can participate in.
First up is the Advent Calendar! Every day in the month of October, there will be a new item to collect, so don't forget to add visiting it to your list of dailies! If you happen to miss the first day's item due to not being online between the time of this news post and rollover, you can contact Lacia (#25044).
Another activity that is now live is Trick or Treating! Here's a quick refresher on how it works for the old, as well as a helpful guide for the new!
Sending Requests
You can visit the Trick or Treating page to start. Listed there are currently online Aywans interested in accepting Trick or Treat requests. Just click on the "Trick or Treat" button below their name to send the request. You can send requests to an Aywan every 30 minutes. This page will update itself when an Aywan's online status changes.
Processing Requests
On the side menu of the site, there's a Trick or Treat status box. As you receive requests, your visitor count will change. You can click this number (or go to My Visitors) to view your requests. From there, you'll have the option to trick or treat your visitor.
Treating visitors will cost 1,000 BP each at minimum. Tricking visitors is free!You have 15 minutes to respond to a Trick or Treat request before it expires.
If trick or treating your fellow Aywans isn't for you, don't forget that you can always Trick or Treat the NPCs instead! Swing by the Site Characters page and trick or treat them when they are available.
Located on the Trick or Treat status box is a Karma Meter. As you send trick or treat requests or trick visitors, you will incur negative (orange) karma. Vise-versa, treating users will give you positive (blue) karma. Both karma levels have their benefits and risks, so experiment around!
You can now collect herbs from the Greenhouse to use in the Giant Cauldron and Rowan's Potion Brewing, but be wary of what you grab - Minerva is watching! For those of you who obtained Rowan's Coupon during the Snapdragon Ceremony, you may now use it! Every October this item will allow you to successfully grab one herb - even if Minerva catches you! It regenerates every 3 days. Make sure to activate it via your Inventory before snatching any herbs!
The Pumpkin Patch is now open as well! Remember, any and all messages left in pumpkins must follow the Terms of Service. Additionally, the pumpkins cannot be tagged as [M]ature, so do not put anything that may need this tag into the pumpkins. If you pick up a pumpkin that violates either of these rules, please PM a staff member. Be kind, and have fun!
Speaking of ghoulish things, it's time for everyone to vote for which group of Hybrid pets will be considered for receiving a new line art for the Halloween Concoction #13! Remember, while everyone will be choosing which group they like, staff will have the final call on which genus within the winning group will get a new line art.
We will once again be using the chart that Hamner (#13) provided to make things easier! Since Rare won for the Love Potion #9, it is not an eligible category this round.
