Ice Cream Sundae
New Game
Chaos says:
Hello, folks - Absolem (#873) wished to have an Ice Cream event created, and naturally running it defaulted to me, given I'm the one who conducts most food related business... with the exception of Zave, of course.
Icecream Sundae Potion
I am teaching students to make Icecream Sundae Potions in Gourmet Cooking from now until 8/1/2011. The potion will change your pet into one of the following event pets:
To be able to make an Icecream Sundae Potion, you'll have to get a couple of special ingredients:
If you'd like to earn some of these, feel free to drop by and quest for me here. Granted, I don't have that many on hand (they are special, after all... expensive importation costs), so I'll only be able to give you twenty quests a day.
Make the best of them - and trade any extra ingredients you have with other people. That will help you get more potions!

Oh snap.
Site Update
Look at this thing, you can't even fathom how awesome it is. How concise it is. HOW EPIC IT IS.
Click that banner for something special, for a tutorial made by Graymare and Mauri that should pretty much ensure that you never have to question anything about predicts again. It's all right here for your viewing pleasure.
This tutorial has the official seal of approval and should be given a look over by all breeding aficionados, since it will affect all current predicts in queue. If you get rejected, try checking the thread to see one of the numerous reasons why. It also contains all of the rules you'll need to know for the future, and what our reasoning is for why we manhandle your offspring (in a non-creepy way).
Note that this also means the Breeding Tutorial will receive an update soon, so keep on the lookout for that!

Art Gallery
Contests
Six really awesome winners' pictures have been added to the Art Gallery:
Theme: Pixel Art
This week's theme is: Pencil Sketches*
This is a starred theme, which means anyone can enter regardless of whether they have won or not in the last few weeks.
It is starred because it is a mini-event/give away. After the six winners are chosen, I will be asking all of you to vote on an overall winner.
The overall winner will get a Copic Markers 72pc Set A, B, or C, depending on winner's preference, shipped to them so that the winner can advance their traditional art skills with some professional and fun tools.
The retail value of this is around $300. You can take a look at the Copic website here.

OMG YOU WERE BANNED!
Site Update
Don't worry, you really weren't. I was fixing something, which broke something, which caused global panic. I fixed it though, and made a few more changes, and wanted to ask you if the site is at all faster for any of you? I noticed something was missing that should have been there, and I put it back, which seems to have made the site much faster for me...

7am, waking up in the morning...
Random Silliness
Hey! You like presents, right?
I received over 9000 over 850 messages from you lovely lot, all wishing me a Happy Birthday (or at least begging me to spare you from the Sacrificial Pit). I want to reply to each of you individually but that might take some time, so... how about a little something whilst you wait?
I'm dipping into a bit of my birthday moolah to give away two Blue Custom Crystals and a Lesser Breeding Coin to one lucky user! Just comment on this News post for a chance to win and I'll pick somebody using one of those fancy random number generator thingies. Let's say you have until 11:59:59pm, Sunday 24th of July to comment some nonsense - that should give you plenty of time. I might even find a few more things to give away afterwards...
Good luck!
On a more serious side note, I am working from back-to-front and front-to-back on my inbox to try and catch the adminly things buried in the avalanche of love. Please, please do not send me reminders unless you need something very urgently or you sent a message on the 17th and think someone might have accidentally pushed you into the Sacrificial Pit. :C Thank you kindly!

It's five o'clock somewhere
Random Silliness
I don't think this is the five o'clock they mentioned...
Are any of you actually awake? The first fifteen people to comment on this news post will get a Raw Gold Crystal, then the next fifteen after that will get a Raw Blue Crystal, then the next fifteen after that will get a Raw Metal Crystal.
Good night.

Delicious Updates
Contests
Here are some delicious updates.
First, the Raffle Crystal Winner:
EMARSHE #11759
Who won: Choice of any prize on the effort prizes thread.
Emarshe had 28 Raffle Crystals. There were 24,689 total crystals in circulation.
Next week's prize: Full set of Raw Custom Crystals
Trivia
There is a new trivia available. It is a collection of various questions made by you guys in Scavenger Hunt. Enjoy!
Last week's answers:
Which area will not debut with Ara? City
How many times has the Haunted Forest been open? Once
Which item holds monthly pets? Essences
What was the first Cirrus to be created onsite? Pancake
What correctly describes the currently lowest ID Serrul custom pet? A green pet with a lot of gold and orange jewlery
What was the first Oske coloration to be released? Skeleton
Which plush was originally not stocked with the others in its series, causing its price to skyrocket until it was fixed? Gharrot
Which NPC doesn't run a store? Kaz
Which pet was not voted in the top four to be plushified in real life? Chiro
Which of the following hybrids has the most customs? Sway
You may have noticed that Fertility Potions have officially been converted into an item category called Breeding Add-Ons. They show up when you are submitting a breeding. Anyone can submit an add-on with their breeding, and premium members can submit up to three add-ons with their breedings, provided they meet the guidelines for the items.
Frey and I are in the process of dreaming up new add-ons. Among various ones we've come up with are such gems as: guarantee two hybrid offspring, randomize which hybrid you get in a hybrid breeding, guarantee one hybrid offspring with the max 30% edits, random color pallet (should be fun for LBC), etc...
Note that most add-ons cannot be used with user predicts. Fertility Potions are still acceptable with user predicts, but most new breeding add-ons will be site breeding only.
If you have any ideas for add-ons, let us know.
