Some small announcements!
Site Update
This is also your reminder to download any exotic PSDs for pets you have purchased from the Black Friday sale. Once we begin prepping for the Mayday Sale, you will no longer have these PSDs available to you. Please double check that you have downloaded all of your PSDs from the archives page by May 6th!
It has come to our attention that for the past 3 months, the monthly high score lists have been rewarding SP incorrectly. Yasu is currently working on creating a script to fix this - those that were rewarded more SP than was earned by making their way to the high score list will have the extra SP removed from their account. If you were supposed to have been awarded SP and either did not receive SP or received the wrong amount, that SP will be awarded to your account.
Have you voted in the HA Coloration Poll yet? Well, if you haven't, you should! It ends tomorrow, Sunday, May 3rd, at approximately noon AST!

Welcome to May!
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-May) so we have time to snag 'em!
The Essence of May 2020 will turn your active pet into one random May 2020 pet listed above! The image will be updated once we have it in our possession.
A glimmering Lunaris friend has squeaked on by to wish those born in May a happy birthday! Emeralds are its favorite gem, and it will bring grass in from outside to cover its collection up in order to hide it!
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).
This month's Premium Item is the Fancy Spring Custom Crystal! This floral crystal can be used to create an up to 50% edited version of the applicable seasonal lines!
The new monthly contests have been announced!

Good luck with your entries!
This month's Jeweled Custom Crystal pets are by !
In honor of the upcoming Mayday Sale, we will be holding Mayhem May for Jeweled Crystals, meaning you may create any previous jeweled design, from any month. The only catch is that you must put the month and year the design is under in your User Notes. This is due to the sheer number of available designs, and we do not want the administrator becoming overwhelmed. Failure to do so can result in your submission being rejected. You can find the designs ine Jeweled Crystal, Jeweled Hybrid Crystal, and Jeweled Rare Crystal Knowledge Base articles.
If you want to be a Jeweled Custom Artist, please visit the hiring thread!
"Hey Diddle Diddle,
The Oske and the fiddle,
The Taurus jumped over the moon
The Melo laughed,
To see such craft,
And the Palli ran away with the spoon" - Kirawra (#11849)
With our spring festivities wrapping up, the Egg Field no longer requires you to deposit an egg before picking another one up! Once the field is clear, it will be officially closed. Please make sure that you have everything downloaded or noted down from any eggs you have opened, as you will not be able to access your log after is it closed. The winners for the Spring Festival contests will be announced on Sunday, May 3rd.
Congratulations to Haberdasher (#33507) for winning the Engagement Ring! At this time, Raffle Crystals have now been retired, and the game has been removed from the Game List.
This is also a reminder to all artists who would like to participate in the Mayday Exotic Sale that all sets must be finished and the PSDs uploaded by May 7th! Artists, if you have any questions, please contact Marie as soon as possible. As a reminder for anyone who is looking to participate in Mayday outside of creating a set, the sale will run from May 14th to May 19th. A breakdown for the sale will be posted on May 7th, though it is the same as previous sales if you are already familiar with them or would like to peek back to Black Friday for a refresher prior to the news post!

Release the Whales
New Feature
"If you have a moment to spare, I could use your help in some very valuable marine research! We're currently studying the Scarl and to complete our research, we need more Mermaid's Purses."
It seems while everyone has been busy exploring the far corners of Ay (for snapdragons), the Museum has opened a new Marine Research department! If you have a Mermaid's Purse and help them out, you may just walk out with a whale of friend!
Welcome the Orcinus!
The Orcinus is a new Rare genus that can be obtained through the Museum Marine Research feature!
Once you visit the Marine Research page, you will find yourself on a page listing whether or not you have any Mermaid's Purse. You can turn in a Mermaid's Purse and receive 1 Research Point.
Once you have accumulated points, the Curator will offer you special items for a certain number of points.
Carved Whale Charm
This item costs only 2 Research points, but will allow you to upload a Metal Orcinus custom!
Orcarina
This item is automatically credited to you when you reach 5 Research points, and will allow you to upload an Orcinus custom with up to 50% edits!
Unlike the Mermaid's Purse, these items are not bound to account. So if you find yourself lucky (or unlucky) with finding Mermaid's Purse to turn in yourself, you can buy and sell the Orcinus custom makers. You can find the PSD by clicking on the Orcinus above or visiting the Pet Genus Guidebook page!
So if you want to pick up a new friend or two (or three, who's counting?), make your way to the Museum Marine Research department!

Snapdragon Ceremony
Events
Thanks to everyone's hard work, everything came together perfectly for the ladies' wedding. From the venue to their hair and dresses, the atmosphere was truly magical. Now, all that was left was for the two to be wed.
Minerva's expression was softer than usual as she stood across from her fiance, though she did seem a bit nervous - an unusual sight to see indeed.
Rowan, on the other hand, seemed to be overjoyed and as peppy as ever. "Minerva... We've had our ups-and-downs, and not everything has been sunshine and rainbows, but I don't think there is another person I would rather spend the rest of my life with," she began, taking hold of Minerva's hands. "--and even if you don't always put your feelings into words, the fact that you tried your best to go along with a competition for our own wedding... Your actions mean more to me than phrases ever could."
"Rowan..." Minerva seemed to be touched by Rowan's speech, and her eyes glistened slightly. "I'm sorry I hadn't been proactive with our marriage arrangements before..." she paused, as if thinking about her words carefully. "You are the only one I would want to be married to, but... I just started thinking that maybe you deserved someone better. Someone who wasn't scowling, maybe someone who could be fun like you--" As she was interrupted by a kiss, her cheeks flushed.
"I don't need someone like me. Without my gloomy little rain cloud, I'd get sunburned and parched, and then I'll turn into a tumbleweed. Is that what you want?" Rowan rambled on, causing both ladies to start laughing.
"Then, I'll make sure you get an adequate amount of shade and water, so you can continue to bloom beautifully," Minerva smiled warmly. "--for the rest of our lives."
As we congratulate our lovely ladies on their marriage, we would also like to congratulate both teams for their hard work throughout the event! At this time, the Snapdragon recipes have been removed from Alchemy. Additionally, the Satin Sheet items, Stiletto items, and Red Snapdragon have been removed from the Corner Store permanently. With the retiring of the Satin Sheet and Stiletto items, the Loyal Love Suune in the Recycling Center now requires 50 Red Spheres instead of 50 Red Satin Sheets.
Now - onto the prizes!
Everyone who participated will receive a few items as a thank you from the brides! The Engraved Shot Glass is a collectible, commemorating this wonderful day. Minerva has also given a collectible of her own - the Packet of Greenhouse Seeds. The Key to My Wife's Heart item will unlock the "Key to My Heart" achievement. Last, but not least, is the Bottle of Snapdragon Petals. This item will unlock a site theme, but unfortunately it needs to soak in a bit more magic before it can do so.
The top 10 players on both teams will receive two items in addition to the wedding favors! The Snapdragon Shears will unlock the "Snapdragon Slayer" achievement - fitting for the ones who sacrificed so many Snapdragon! Rowan also prepared the Rowan's Coupon item to show her appreciation. This item can be used during our October festivities by presenting it to Minerva when she catches you attempting to steal her herbs, and she'll let your robbery slide! This item regenerates 3 days after use.
As Team Rowan won the challenges, everyone on her team will receive a sparkly trophy for their trophy cabinet! For the top 10 players on both teams, you will receive a gold, silver, or bronze trophy, depending on your overall score!
The Seasonal Shop is now open! As promised, Snapdragon will not be the currency you will need to purchase anything. Everything will be available for BP and any user can enjoy the shop, regardless of if you participated in the event or not. The Seasonal Shop will be open until 11:59 PM AST on April 30th, so be sure to make all your purchases before then!
In honor of this joyous occasion, we will be having one, final Raffle Crystal raffle. The prize will be an Engagement Ring, which will marry two pets together! After this raffle, Raffle Crystals will be retired, though this does not mean we will no longer hold raffles in general. This raffle will run alongside the Seasonal Shop, until 11:59 PM AST on April 30th. You can find the raffle here.
This is also a reminder that the Spring Festival contests will remain open until 11:59 PM AST on April 30th. After this time, the contests will be closed, and the Egg Field will no longer require an egg to be deposited before picking one up sometime after this deadline.

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 5 Results
Events
"Oh my goodness, look at all of these little plush," Rowan commented, stars practically shining in her eyes. "You know, I've always heard about people collecting plush of their wives, but I never quite understood it until now," she continued as she smiled blissfully. "Thank you for your hard work; I'll be sure to find some use for all of these!"
Rowan walked off with a bit of a mischievous expression. Was there an ulterior motive to her creating a challenge where she could have many Minerva Plush..? The world may never know...
Congratulations to Rowan's Team for winning the final challenge! While there are no more challenges left to complete, the event isn't quite over yet! Please stay tuned for more information tomorrow, April 23rd! Feel free to rest, chat with your team, or return to your usual Aywas activities until then!

Exotic Pet Palace Stock
Pets
"As some of you may have noticed, my Exotic Pet Palace has received a new stock of pets! They're eager and awaiting new loving owners!"
In case you weren't aware, the Exotic Pet Palace is on a stock rotation schedule with the stock changing every 3 months. After the 3 months, the pets currently in stock will be permanently retired and a new stock will replace them. So get them while you can!
If you want to have the chance of getting a design of yours into the pet shop, go ahead and submit them to the Pet Coloration Submissions forum. Most of the submitted designs will be put into Adventure, but some random designs will be kept to go into the pet shop!
If your design is now in the pet shop please contact Lacia (#25044) for your free copy. That's right, if your design is accepted and put in the shop you get a free copy. That could save you a good amount of BP!

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 5 Begins
Events
Despite everything seeming to be in order for the wedding, Rowan and Minerva stand before their teams, as they have for the beginning of the past challenges. Rowan's expression is nothing short of mischievous, while Minerva appears to be dreading whatever news they have to speak of.
"Thank you for you continued participation in Snapdragon Ceremony! It means so much to both of us that you all seemed invested in helping contribute to our special day," Rowan spoke cheerfully. "However, there is one last challenge for you all..." Her tone dipped down, as if she were beginning a horror story. "The last challenge is--"
"Wait, I'll tell them," Minerva interrupted Rowan, who began to pout slightly over not being able to recite her carefully rehearsed monologue. "You will have to... turn in Snapdragon for plush versions of ourselves," she began, preparing herself to deliver the bad news. "You will also have to... trade with the members of the opposing team."
"Oh come now, it's not that bad is it? It's all about making news friends, you know. Friends with plush benef--" Rowan was cut off by Minerva covering her mouth with her hand.
"I'm sure you'll find it annoying, but please try to help each other out, okay?" Minerva concluding, sighing heavily. Despite having volunteered to break the news, it seemed that it was not her idea.
It's the final challenge - and a challenge it is indeed! For this round, you will need to trade in any color Snapdragon for a plush version of your team leader. However, she doesn't want a plush of herself, but rather of her soon-to-be wife! You've worked as a team for the past few challenges, and now it's time to work together completely!
You will have until 6:30 PM AST on April 22nd to accumulate points for this challenge. This is also the final time that you will be able to convert your Satin Sheet and Stiletto items into Snapdragon, so be sure to keep an eye on the time!

"You haven't gotten tired of plucking all those snapdragon out of the ground, have you?" Rowan asked in a teasing manner. "I know it may be a hassle, but I promise it'll be over soon. After that, a beautiful wedding awaits!" she grinned, clapping her hands together. "Oh, but don't worry, we'll make sure everyone gets a little something for all the trouble."
Before giving any hints as to what the little something would be, Rowan quickly turns heel and heads off, seeming giddy.
Congratulations to Rowan's Team for winning the fourth challenge! Both teams will now be able to take a short break until the next challenge, which will begin at 6:30 AM AST on April 20th! Feel free to rest, strategize with your team, or return to your usual Aywas activities until then!
