Today.
We light a candle in memory of those who lost their lives, loved ones and ancestors to one of the cruelest atrocities the world has known.
Six million Jewish men, women and children perished.
The persecution that these people endured permeated out to any group that was considered inferior, any group that challenged the ideals of a specific ideology.
This hatred was founded on everything from faith to sexual orientation to disabilities to race to politics.
To poorly paraphrase some past quotes on the Holocaust, people claimed that if only they had known what was really going on, they would have stopped it. Though the Holocaust is over in some respects, genocide is not, and I think it's important to be reminded of this reality. It's easy to push the grim parts of our world away: close the history book, turn off the TV, claim ignorance to the crimes happening thousands of miles away. We can't pretend like these things haven't happened and that they don't exist, because if we do, how will they stop?
All our differences aside, we are human beings.
If human beings are capable of such cruelty, then they are capable of the same degree of kindness and compassion.
Even if you feel like the smallest person in the world, you always have the power to impact someone else in a positive way. Don't let that opportunity pass you by. Life is too short and too precious to waste it on something like hatred.
You can pick up your own Memorial Candle from the Advent Calendar today or tomorrow.
It will turn your active pet into a Meep made by Sage (#37348) in honor of this day and out of respect for those we remember.

Hidden Egg...
Contests
I'm an egg! I'm an egg!! Pick me!!!
Can you find the egg that I hid?
I like to think I'm sneakier than Eri, but we'll see how fast it takes you guys to find it.
First person to find it gets a Metal Hybrid Crystal.
I hid the egg somewhere else! Somewhere HARD! So hard, I'll give the first person to find it a Platinum Breeding Coin. So you know it's hard. It better be, at least.
Here's a hint -- just one hint -- you'll have to manipulate the URL of a certain page... but which page? Well, can't tell you...
Good job Kandria, you found it!! Haha, I was hoping someone would! You guys impress me yet again...

Daily Cron
Site Update
You might have noticed that your daily login BP is now appearing once a day and at the correct time--meaning the daily cron is no longer being run multiple times.
This probably seems like a small thing, but it's a huge fix for a persistent problem for us.
Thanks, Yasu!
Art Gallery results coming up shortly. :3
