Holiday Lane Potion & Chitchat!
Site Update
The Holiday Lane Potion should be usable now. :3
I'm going to be working on some uploads for the seasonal shop now, so if you're around tonight, swing by the thread in Aywas Talk to keep me company!
Not sure how much I'll get done tonight since I do need some help from Yasu and Slash before making things live, but you'll at least get a sneak peek at things to come! n_n
Thanks for all your understanding and good cheer!

12 Days of Christmas + User Feature
Site Update
June + Snow (#618)
A little more than two weeks ago, when I was brand new here, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. At all. So, hoping to find some friends or help, I posted a message to the introductions board and was immediately and warmly welcomed by June. But to my surprise, I was given more than a warm welcome. 5 million BP!
June is a very kind and generous person, helping to answer question after question as I explored the site and ran into problems. And even after all of her help, she even offered to buy me anything else that had caught my fancy on the site. All of this to a total stranger, who she would have no idea if the user would even stay on the site or not.
Without her help, starting off would have been a challenge, and I'm positive many other users have been assisted by her as well. I think June is more than deserving of some appreciation. c:
-- nominated by Paba Ajuoga (#34867)
We have decided to reward June + Snow with:
A few items that are just as giving and helpful as they are!
Don't forget to nominate other great community members. :3
On the twelfth day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me ...
A wish by Bynks (#35258):
This is a bit of an odd set of wishes. I know I just started so it is probably highly unlikely that this will happen.
Site Wishes - I did some pondering and I though this would be a good idea. In the Cash Shop there is a Christmas Tree. It is very expensive but it allows random cash shop gifts to five players (but being the creators you knew that >.<). So my wish would be that instead of receiving the Christmas Tree myself that the staff would pick five random player ID's to send random Cash Shop items to on Christmas day. I think that would make a wonderful Christmas gift to five lucky players.
My other site wish is that a random gift chosen by staff be given to Glace Leau (#32554) for being such a wonderful community member by sending me a Christmas present even though I had just started playing the game.
I know these are not wishes for myself but I really have a hard time thinking of things for me and I always prefer to offer others gifts around this time of year instead.
Instead of a Christmas Tree or the gift of one random item, we have decided to let you make the days of twelve other users a little brighter on Aywas. I will contact you and you can then give me a list of twelve people and an item you chose for each of them to be awarded with. :3
Just because some holidays are over doesn't mean the spirit has to end. <3

Trivia, Raffle Crystals & Endless Eggnog
Site Update
Trivia
The trivia has been updated!
Weekly Raffle
This week's raffle crystal winner is:
Lady_Heart (#28193)
Who had 16 crystals out of 17,771 total and won a Holiday Silver Potion!
This week's prize is an Elaborate Present!
Alright, so here's what's going on!
Other than drowning in Eggnog, I am getting a lot of things ready for you guys. :3
I tried whipping Slash into doing the final 12 Days of Christmas wish, but that backfired on me, so I will be granting the final wish tonight as well as be resuming user features! (We'll extend this into January a little bit for the days we missed.) Please take a moment to nominate someone, especially if you haven't done so yet!
I'm also going to be working on Seasonal Shop uploads tonight. If you want to keep me company while I do so, keep your eye out for a thread I'll be making in Aywas Talk! (I'll post a link to it in the news when I make it, so don't hurt your hand refreshing. XD)
We also have a couple of small New Year's goodies to release soon, so there's a lot to look forward to!

Art Gallery & AyMas Updates
Site Update
For those of you who celebrated a holiday this weekend, I hope it was wondrous and filled with cheer!
.. And less stressful and tiring than mine. XD
At the risk of being cornered by sharpened Candy Canes and buried alive under Snowflakes, I want to let you know that the Seasonal Shop is not quite ready, but it'll be open as soon as possible and be welcoming guests for a full week once it does. Things have been a bit of a bumpy sleigh ride behind the scenes, but our big Christmas bang is still to come!
Let me get a couple of updates out of the way so that we can focus on the goodies when they're ready!
The Art Gallery has been judged!
Last week's theme was Gift Giving and we had plenty of positively adorable entries, but these six ultimately stole the gift-giving heart!
Our winners received:
This week's theme is the New Year!
We'll also be adding more themes soon so that you can brainstorm your future entries.
If there's a specific focus, medium, etc. that you would like to see featured by the Art Gallery, feel free to toss out some ideas! :3
Eggnogs
(I'm talking about the Delicious Eggnogs here, not the non-alcoholic ones. *wink*)
Do not be fooled by its delicious-looking spiced sprinkles or its sweet, dainty glass--this drink is a sneaky trickster!
.. or was just way too comfy in the old items from last year.
Eggnogs were not supposed to be re-released this year per Frey's request, but the items weren't updated as they should have been, so I'm going to guide you through this little coding snafu while we fix things up. We'll make it, I promise!
If you received an Eggnog from a stocking or the Pile of Gifts and did not use it, you can send it to me in exchange for 5 GP.
(Everyone who sent me one up to this point should have received a PM along with their GP refund by now.)
If you used your Eggnog for a breeding, please contact Kyu (1010), who is a love and will be taking care of refunding you. Successful breedings get automatically refunded by her. If you had a failed breeding, talk to Kyu and she'll see what she can do.
Stockings and the Pile of Gifts are NOT updated yet, so if you have any of these items, please hang onto them until I make an announcement saying you've got the green light to tear into them once more.
Note: I'm only asking you not to use them because the eggnogs are still inside. Slash said the other items are fine.
Eggnog is going to be replaced with a special potion that will also be stocking in the Cash Shop for 5 GP, so everything should even out. :3
The Holiday Wardrobe is not quite usable yet, but will be soon!
We'll make an announcement for you when you can try on all the new festive clothing.
My goal is to have everything completed and working asap so I can put everything in a huge announcement with the seasonal shop, but we'll play it by ear!
I appreciate your understanding and apologize for being unable to update you guys sooner.
Christmas may be over, but AyMas is just beginning!

December 25th Ahead...
Items
The Elaborate Present is in the BP Shop for 12,000,000 BP. It will give you a random BP Shop and random GP Shop item when you open it, for those of you who like gambling. :p
I wrote you a story called A Magical Christmas, and it'll be sent to you at midnight. Take it to the Library to read. :)
Christmas Keys will be placed into Holiday Lane from midnight to midnight, only on the 25th. Use them to open the three Holiday Doors.
Caroling will be disabled at midnight on the 27th, so you have roughly two more days to get those songs in.
The Platinum Breeding Talisman (three Platinum coins) will be hitting the BP Shop from midnight to midnight on the 25th...
and...
I decided I will activate the "Get 50% Extra GP Free" script on the Purchase GP Page form midnight to midnight on the 25th. Because I love you.
See you at midnight for the festivities!

Fresh to your inbox in my lateness :p
MARC (#1364)
MARC is not only an incredibly social user--as I bump into him almost everywhere--but also a generous one; gifting items, custom pets, and SCC PSDs whenever he sees fit... or is just in the mood to be giving. And the generosity continues beyond the pixels: during this past summer's Scavenger Hunt, MARC was the leader of Team Gentleman Kaz. Though, like everyone else, our team wanted to complete as many tasks as possible, MARC ensured that the main focus was on having fun. No one was penalized for not wanting to do a task... those that never got selected to do didn't get done; and we were plenty all right with that. In fact, a good portion of the week-long hunt was spent chatting it up in the team's forum. Ever since then, I've had more than just 2 people on my friend's list.
Thank you, MARC, for being accommodating enough to invite me into your Scavenger Hunt team even though we had never met. And thank you, too, for introducing me to a whole gang of other equally friendly users.
-- Mechanical Cerberus (#9484)
We have decided to award MARC (#1364) with:
I honestly don't know what to give you, since you said you're quitting...but I wrote something into the first readable Aywas book (that will be released on Dec 25) that I think you'll like and find special. (:
So look forward to it!!
Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me....
A Wish By ISmellLikeSunshine (#28472)
I've been thinking about what to wish for since I found out about this thread, but, I just couldn't...figure out what would be wish-worthy. I've been pondering for a week...Think I've got it, now, though...
There are so many people making wishes on this board. Desperate ones, at that. For Christmas, I'd like to see at least one more person's wish granted, along with the twelve originally planned for. At least one more. Pick someone who's in the financial dumps and in a tight bind. Needing money for a sick pet, or for children. For bills. I wish I could help them, myself, but this is the best I can do, really. I...would be forever grateful if you guys could do this. At least one more granted wish. Thank you.
Well...
I'm going to PM you with a certain amount of money. You can look through the Wishes thread and decide how you want to split it up and make people's Christmases special. :)
Just let me know who you want what amount sent to, a list of the winners.
If you haven't already done so, submit your wish on the 12 Days of Christmas thread!

Who had 33 crystals out of 23,929 total and won a Wrapped Crystal!

My IRL job actually gave me a day off tomorrow, so I'm going to spend most of it knocking things out on Aywas. I mean doing work, not punching things. XD
We know there's some holiday-related glitches and confusion going on, so I'll try to clear up as much as I can tomorrow!

Fresh to your inbox in my lateness :p
Rain Bullet (#409)
She's the most generous user I've ever run into on Aywas, and just from scrolling down on the first page, it's clear that other people view her the same way. I recently reconnected with an old friend, and we really wanted to play L4D2 together, but we had the game on different consoles, and both of us are too short on cash to pick the game up. Rain Bullet came along and gifted me $20, which is the nicest random act of kindness I've ever received from a total stranger. She made my Christmas. I really would like to do something in return for her, but I don't have much in the way of funds on Aywas, so it would be awesome if she was at least recognized for her generosity. I want her to have a great Christmas on Aywas like the one she just gave me.
-- nominated by Alan && Nathan! (#960)
We have decided to award Rain Bullet (#409) with:
x5I sense a design lover here, and these are a design lover's best friend!
Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.
On the ninth day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me....
A Wish By Qyet (#190)
Alt Hybrid Voucher (or alternate cube as it's now called)
A dream item of mine - I would LOVE to have an alt griffin hybrid custom - which is the only reason I ask for one. :) I so rarely get anything for Christmas, unless I get it for myself. It's hard for me to even ask for something, but sometimes it's worth a try.
Thanks to you Slash, and all the Aywas staff for doing things like this. ^_^
You can have two of them... one to look at, and one to use. :p Or both to look at...
If you haven't already done so, submit your wish on the 12 Days of Christmas thread!
