Chlo3 (#29599)
They contribute to the community of aywas and the emphasis of that cooperative, friendly feeling to the game instead of just everyone getting rich and grabbing what you can: Earlier this year, I was bidding on an auction and I had gotten in the habit of copying the last couple digits of my total bp in order to have my bid be a random number. Well I was playing very early in the morning, I was quite tired, and something went wrong, I must have copied the entire amount. It was several million bp that I bid; the entirety of my liquid assets I'd accumulated since joining in January. I sent a polite message to Clo3 just explaining what had happened, the amount I had meant to bid, and I asked if it was possible for her to send me any part of the money back. I knew I had no right to the money since I had placed the bid and it was entirely up to her, and I told her so before sending the message, leaving nothing to do but wait anxiously for a reply. She sent me all the extra pb (my previous total minus the price that I had actually meant to bid) with a cheery, kind message and I was just shocked. I was even more shocked to find out she was pretty new herself and far from rich on the game. Some people would have seen it as their right to keep the money- and they would be correct! However, Clo3 cared about more than her rights and getting rich and I think she deserves mention for exemplifying the kind community spirit aywas is known for having. She is definitely my hero!

Ara
New Feature
Ara Release
After some deliberation, we have been considering having Scavenger Hunt be only in July, with 10-man teams and 150 tasks. In addition, we have been considering releasing the first Ara region in January, and release a new region in Ara every month after.
What do you think? Should we postpone Scav and start releasing Ara starting NEW YEARS???
Ara has nine regions, and if you do want Ara to start being released starting New Years, how about picking which region you want to see released first?
But no hints...you only get the codename!!!
Okay, it looks like you guys are going for the Enchanted Woods first... click on the explore area to go to the submission thread!!!

Rae (#10736)
Rae runs and keeps track of a wishlist and chat thread, where everyone, especially herself, are always so generous. People regularly hand over some pretty good stuff to each other, and help each other to meet goals, whether it's pet collection, a specific item, or even just to have a dream pet/custom made. Everyone on the thread owes our thanks to Rae for making such an awesome place to hang out. - nominated by SelenaWolf (#10323)
We have decided to award Rae (#10736) with:
A Lesser Breeding Pendant so that she can grant lots and lots of breeding wishes from her thread!!
Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.

Shadow Files (#9437)
I don't know Shadow personally, but I think we are all familiar with her work! Last year Shadow created what is in my opinion the #1 Aywas Resource, The Aywas Wiki. Ever since, Shadow has been working her butt off to make the Wiki into an incredibly thorough Aywas guide. There is still a lot of information that needs to be added, but as it stands the Wiki still has information that cannot be found anywhere else. For instance, recently they'd been adding previews of what HA clothing items look like while on both female and male HAs - a feature that I'm sure will prevent thousands of "Crap this looks horrible on my HA" purchases. Also, many of the pet pages on the Wiki contain the "Made By" information, so that all of the Aywas Contributors can actually get the proper credit for the Site Pets that they created; at the moment, the only other way to find that information out is to hunt through the submissions and match site pets with the member who submitted them.
The Aywas Wiki is Shadow's passion, and she created it because she has a passion for Aywas, it's community, and for helping the site out. She has accumulated a very reliable core group of helpers, and with their assistance she has built the Wiki into a resource to be reckoned with! The best part of this all is that she's constantly building the Wiki, adding new information, new features, coming up with new ideas on how to present information....just to show how awesome the Wiki is, here's a bit of information that is posted on the home page of the Wiki: "We currently have: 6,045 articles, 6,882 files, and 512 users..."
Now that's an Aywas User Guide!!

We have decided to award Shadow Files (#9437) with:
x 5Five Custom Item Package so she can contribute items to the site to add to her wiki... ;D

Licenses?
Site Update
How are licenses/poaching working now? :3
I put some new pets in Holiday Lane for you to test them on!
You also might've noticed that your Bonsai tree grew a friend overnight due to a little coding snafu. We're just going to go ahead and let you keep that second tree to use on more people!
If your tree spawned more than one friend, send your extra(s) to me. (If you purchased more trees, don't worry about those, they're yours to keep.)
If you are missing a tree/yours failed to regenerate, contact me and I'll get that fixed for you!

Ţą|ą ツCheshire (#5252)
Cheshire has colored a number of site pets and when Lightning Weaver went MIA in late February of this year, she stepped up and took over running the Adoption Center Contest which is now in it's 34th week. The aim is to bring color and life to the adoption center and it has done so much to get rid of all the dirt rogrs and loggerhead shrike reves that used to plague the adoption center. At one point during the summer, we were the ones stocking the adoption center. Cheshire has done so much for us, it would be nice if something special was done for her too. - nominated by Aqua (#14764)
We have decided to award Ţą|ą ツCheshire (#5252) with:
Two Miniature Phoenix Trees to stock the adoption center with lots of pets for her mission.
Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.

Welcome to December - Part II
Site Update
NaNoWriMo
National Novel Writing Month is officially over!
We hoped you had fun and accomplished the goal you set for yourself!
Aetheria (46) will be sending out your prizes, so contact her with any Nano prize-related inquiries.
The three items above are all very powerful battle/Adventure items that are better than, or on par with, the celestial items. They'll definitely come in handy!
Trivia
The trivia has been updated!
Weekly Raffle
This week's raffle crystal winner is:
FireFalcon (14872)
Who had 6 raffle crystals out of 24,290 total and won a Glittering Skull!
This week's prize is a PLATINUM BREEDING COIN.
But we're not going to tell you what it does yet. What can I say, I'm a tease. Let's just say it's pretty sweet.
Now lets get to some more monthly goodies!
If you have a birthday this month, you will be a lucky owner of a Turquoise Lunaris!
Here are your lovely December GP Shop pets:
And the adorable BP Shop pets:
If you created one of the pets above, please contact Visark (185) for your payment!
Important Note: If you entered a pet in the BP/GP shop contests and you don't see it up here, don't sell it or enter it in a contest or anything like that just yet. We had such awesome entries that we are accepting more colorations from these threads to be used throughout the month. I will be contacting you in the next day or so to let you know if you had a pet selected!
If you want to try your luck at a monthly pet with a potion, you'll need the Essence of December 2011, now available in the GP Shop!
You also might see these little things popping up around the site in various places soon.
Try using it and see what happens!
Have you put the Holiday Tree to use yet?
In the spirit of giving, here are a couple threads you might want to check out:
31 Days of Christmas
Every day this month, we are going to feature a user and give them a special unknown gift! But we need your help picking people out. We want you to nominate users you think have been great contributors to the site and helped make it what it is now.
Come nominate some deserving community members!
12 Days of Christmas - Santa Wishes
Starting December 14th, we are going to be granting some Christmas wishes!!! One person will be selected from this thread every day from Dec 14 - 25, and their wish will be granted. You can wish for anything you want - items onsite, pets onsite, designs, customs, stuff IRL, etc - and if you're chosen, your wish will be granted.
Have you been good this year?
Nets are currently unlimited in the Explore Shop!
We know there's a lot of bugs with Holiday Lane/Adventure right now. Crazy strong pets, getting a poaching fine for taking a common cuddly home with you, and nets breaking faster than toothpicks.
Yasu is fixing them.
Like, working on them as Slash and I glare at him with whips in our hands.
(We're not really that mean, but you get the idea.)
Everyone on staff is working extremely hard to not only make this an awesome December for you, but to get our site to where we want it to be. I know it's frustrating for things to not work as well as you expect, but trust me, we also know that feeling all too well and are going to do whatever we physically can to make things better. Thank you for your understanding and the words of encouragement and appreciation we've received--that helps so much more than you know.
I will have more fun updates for you tomorrow! :3
Meanwhile, don't forget to visit Santa Lunaris!
