PAW ROCK News #1
There are 25 purple paw rocks hidden throughout the news posts. One prize per person. Good luck, and have fun!
All the paw rocks have been found. If by chance you got two prizes, please report it to me with your choice of which prize you want to keep, as it was hard to keep them straight.

Wildflower Week
Pets
Did you know the second week in May is Wildflower Week?
So, we have released two pets in the Growing Magic shop see, it does have a use /brickd:
The Ippo is 800,000 BP and the Vion is 1,500,000 BP. For every Ippo you guys buy, we will donate $1 to Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and for every Vion you guys buy, we'll donate an additional $2 (within reason).
(They actually say that wildflower week is 2nd - 8th, but sources seem to vary, and the thought is still there.)
It's a good way to make a difference in our world, even if a small one, regardless of what real life funds you have. The pets will be in the shop until May 18th, giving you a chance to buy one.
I will also have the winners of the May Custom Contest a little later today. Still gotta do some more slogging through my inbox; that thing grows exponentially o-o

Trivia Game
New Game
We now have a Trivia game! Test your knowledge (or luck, whatever) against the trivia game every week to win items and/or BP.
Discussing answers with other player(s) is considered cheating and will be punishable as so. Please don't do it.
EDIT: It looks like our nightly cron ate the data saved for the trivia, so we fixed that glitch and I made a new one. Enjoy the new trivia questions!

Do you like the Suune or the Cerby alternate lineart more?

Helping Tornado Victims
Site Update
We were asked by Senpai and Morris (#16) to do a donation drive for victims of the tornadoes that hit the southern US. Springdragon (#650) made us these three lovely designs to give to anyone who donates funds to a reputable charity, like the Salvation Army or Red Cross.
Donate $5.00 or more and get the Sors.
Donate $10.00 or more and get the Chiro and the Sors.
Donate $20.00 or more and get the Nexus, Chiro, and Sors.
Donate directly to an appropriate charity of your choice, then forward the receipt to [email protected]. Include your user ID so the pet(s) can be sent to you as a custom. We have decided to make donation pets as "customs" instead of "site pets" so that they can be exclusive to donators.
I will update this news post with the total amount donated by Aywas users at the end of the week so you can get an idea of how much we've helped. :)

Art Gallery Notice
Site Update
As we near Sunday (when the first six Art Gallery winning submissions will be selected and displayed), I find myself getting a bit concerned with the entries. To be frank, like 90% of them aren't following the rules. An entry that does not follow the rules will not win a prize, regardless of how good the entry is.
Common errors
- Not putting username and ID on the image
- the image not being Aywas related (seriously? Why do people keep uploading seemingly random images?)
- the work having a copyright notice on it (this wasn't explained in the Art Gallery, but it is in the TOS - everything you submit to us that is Aywas-related becomes our property, so you cannot have your copyright on an Aywas image)
Don't forget - the deadline for this is 11:59 PM on SATURDAY, as the six winners will be announced on Sunday. Don't be late, there is SP and a rare item on the line!
Click here to go to the Art Gallery!
(PS: Spensey-poo is going to be rapid-fire stocking the plush shop at 10:00 PM)

Plush Series 2 & Cinco de Mayo
Items
Spense says:
'Kay, so, as promised, here is Series 2 of the plushes I've been making:
Plush Series 2
I will release a new set of plushes on May 19th, which will also be when I retire Plush Series 1 from my store. Fortunately you have plenty of time to prepare, yes?
In other news, it was so decreed that we would release some pets for Cinco de Mayo. Therefore, I have harassed and tormented our lovely Xero from the Pet Store into stocking some Mexico pride-themed pets:
We are lovely and way too brightly colored for Xero!
There's nothing more fun than tempting a couple thousand people into his shop so he goes nuts (low prices do that). Amirite? Of course I'm right. I'm always right.
Xero says:
Hey! Who do you think you are?!
Spense says:
I'm Spenser, duh... are you suffering from memory loss already? o_0 Better hurry back to your shop before I decide to throw a party outside of it. :D
Farewell Ay citizens! If you need me, I will be at the Plush Shop for a while...counting the money I stole from you. (:
