I have a question for everyone.... How's the lag today? I've been doing some messing around, and I want to know what kind of impact my changes have made upon the lag issue for all of you. Let me know :)

Happy Birthday
Random Silliness

Remember Baby Day, when we celebrated babies and awarded a spotlight to Dana #48?
Guess what? Her baby, Brooklyn, was just born!
From all of us at Aywas..
Happy Birthday, Brooklyn!

Have you looked at and appreciated each entry? Great! Let's move on to voting.

Lots of goodies~
Pets



The winner of the BCC and LBC bundle is--
MewNommer (#21141)
Congratulations! Your prizes are on their way! :D
And would you all like some pets? Yes? Okay then!









The submission criteria for the Explore pets is a little different this week, my friends. I would like you to submit for the Vyne, Lacer, Maki and Oske genera. Each accepted design will earn you 10 GP as per normal - in addition, however, the user with the highest number of accepted designs over the coming week will win these!



More sparkly than Edward Cullen!
Please remember we're always looking for quality, not quantity. Submitting ten designs makes you no more likely to win than someone who submits only five if Mauri can't see the love and tenderness in each one. :| *strums guitar*
So! To recap:
1.] submit designs for the Vyne, Lacer, Maki and Oske (as few or as many for each genus as you like)
2.] be certain they are all of the quality you would expect to see on site
3.] ???
4.] profit
Have fun! :D

Just a tiny reminder...
Site Update
 
 
Derp, derp, derp...
Derpy Paleo has an announcement to make about Derp Coins.  Please remember that they are not to be used on anything but same species pairs.  Any in queue right now that aren't same-species will be refunded, but from now on you will not get refunds if you try to breed these.  The description for the item was edited to reflect this, since it wasn't clear before (and the ability to breed non-same species pairs is a known coin bug).  So long as it's Melo x Melo, Kyre x Kyre, etc. then you're fine (just remember to read the Breeding Tutorial as it's updated to see what isn't allowed with Derps -- for now, that's Xaocs and Neuras).
Other than that, happy derping!

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!

Aha, well, I am back from where I was last time... you don't need to know where that is. Simply know that I have brought about the Eighth Series of my plush set:

Plush Series 8 Box




















I am going to give my shop a massive restock at 9:30 AM Aywas Time. If it pleases you to grab some plushes, ensure you are there.
