T4T: Chic-chic-ky-boom?
Items
Whether you find wind-up toys cute or creepy, this one is going to be hanging out in Trash for Treasure until July 13th at 11:59pm.
Plenty of time to collect as many as you want... or incentive to stay away and save those trash points for something bigger!

Does this look a little familiar? Well, we have even more new mods to announce, so we're glad it does!
Give a big congratulations to Kozmotis (#48993) and Prince & TJ (#12687) for moving up in the ranks! All three of them have been hugely helpful to us in the long months of being Elves and these promotions are well overdue! Please give them the warmest welcome as they settle into their new roles!

Breeding Call June Edition!
Comics
We have a small update regarding the Blind Date/Eggnog Team. The wonderful Allysun is stepping down from managing the team and passing the reigns to Aros (#4353). Allysun has given him all the information he needs to successfully take over this position and all current artists should have been made aware.
Please be gentle with him while he settles in!
Lotus has also stepped down from managing the Breeding and Holiday Breeding Coins as we are moving to a system of the coins being handled by Elves and Moderators!
Speaking of breeding teams, we are looking to hire artists for both the Blind Date/Eggnog Team and Grand Team! If you are interested and would like to apply please PM Kaiyo (#489) with the message title being the team you are applying for and your username (Ex. "Blind Date/Eggnog Application - Kaiyo").
You can find the application for the Blind Date/Eggnog Team here.
Please include whether you have been on a breeding team before, even if it was temporary!
You are also welcome to PM your application using examples from already completed predictions, practice pairs, or edit examples. If applying for the Grand Team make sure to include some examples with 75% edits!
Blind Date/Eggnogs:
1-5 babies in 7 days
Payment:
30% offspring = 30 GP or 45 Credit
Grand Team:
1-5 babies in 7 days
Payment:
30% offspring = 30 GP or 45 Credit
50% offspring = 40 GP or 60 Credit
75% offspring = 50 GP or 75 Credit
An explanation of what “Credit” is and what it can be used for can be found in this Knowledge Base article. For more information about these teams and their coins head on over here.
Sketch Breeding Coin Coin Information for artist
Details with FAQ on the coins in the KB above, and
Here is the application
Key points are:
Lists can be any size you can handle, but typical is 5 pairs.
- The deadline is typically 7 days.
Sketch coins produce unbreedable, silver pets.
- So all artwork must be unique and redrawn, but still, look like a baby the parents would produce.
Sketch Breeding Coins pay 14 GP per baby or 21 Credit per baby.
-- When USD Prepay or Contracts are avaliable, priority is given to current active artist on the GP and AC teams
Please check the application above, to apply!
Lesser Breeding Coin Coin KB
Details with FAQ on the coins in the KB above, and
LBC Application
Quick info:
This coin mixes the same genus pets, with edits.
There no requirement to re-draw anything, but, some skills with masking, or breaking apart PSD's is helpful.
Being able to work with PNG X PNG, or PNG X PSD is a plus, however, Kandria will work with you to teach if you don't know-how.
- Please note in your application, if you need help with them, Still do the pairs the best you can as well so we can see what level you are at!
LBC artists are able to choose the number of babies made per list.
They have a deadline of 10 days per list.
Artists are paid 10 GP per baby or 15 Arist Credit per baby.
The Breeding Coin and Holiday Breeding teams are also looking for artists! Please Pm Kita #3988 examples of BC predictions, edited pets, or completion of the application found in the Breeding Forum.
BC and HBC artists are paid 30 GP per baby, and 40 GP per 50% edited baby.
If they choose to be paid in credit artists are paid 45 Credit per baby, and 60 Credit per 50% edited baby.
Use the promo code "meme me daddy" when applying and Kita will send you a meme every time you turn in a list!
Scribble and Smudged Scribble are next! With a pay starting at 25 GP per breeding and adding 5 GP per extra offspring after the first per breeding, it's pretty dang good, if I do say so myself. Of course, you can also opt in for the equivalent of Artist Credit if you'd prefer!
Interested in Scribble/Smudged Scribble? Check out this thread here!
Next on the list is our very own Rusted team! They're all masters of redrawing markings to fit new bases for 10 GP per breeding, so if you feel like that's your thing, then feel free to check out this thread and give Kozmotis #48993 a shout!
And we're not done with Kozmotis' teams just yet! The Painted teams are in need of some new faces, particularly Painted Lesser. Follow prompts and mix edits -- or not, for Painted Metal -- and get yourself either 9 GP per PMBC or 11 GP per PLBC!
We've got two threads for these, so check this one for PMBC and this one for PLBC!
But wait! There's more!
That's right, for the low, low price of sending a PM to Kita #3988 you can join the Radioactive team! You know all those fun mutants that grace our Welcome Back page? You could make those! I hear they're very fun to make! And you can get paid to do it too -- 4 GP per Mutant and 8 GP per Metal.
If you're interested in this wild Coin, check out this thread.
And, if you call Kita with your application right now, you can also join our esteemed Metal breeding team at no cost to you! Mix markings and colors on pets of the same base and... Guess what? You can get some GP! 8 GP per offspring to be exact! And trust us here at headquarters, there's no shortage of work in this queue, so you're free to mix and match to your heart's content.
Want more information? We've got one more thread for you to check out!
I also would like to remind everyone, keep all transactions on site! Without PM's or forum posts for evidence, staff cannot assist you should something go wrong with your transaction. If you work out the details off site, that is fine, but send an onsite communication with the other party as well to finalize all details.

SPLISH SPLASH IT'S PPP 2020 TIME
Comics
It's starting to heat up so time to break out the pools! It's time for the Summer's Prediction Pool Party! (But please maintain a safe distance from one another while splashing around!)
For those of you who weren't here, and those of you who were, I'll be listing out all the rules and bonuses, as well as setting up the threads that have everything compiled for easy reference!
This event will run from June 5 to August 31, 2020! that gives you more than 2 whole months to work and design as many predictions as you possibly can! The point of this is to try to help ease up some of the more backed up queues, so those specific queues will also receive the most bonuses.
- The Prediction Caps are being temporarily removed for all coins during this time!
- Any artist that makes a prediction can enter themselves into a raffle by posting in the Artist Raffle (Coming Soon!)
- All edit percentages are "loose" for this event only, so we will not get up in your business if you submit a 50% breeding and it is 57%. If you have a 50% breeding and we can't tell what species it is, then we might have a problem.
- Remember! Predictions can be done for USD however if they are not Platinum Breeding Coin, Scribble Breeding Coin, or Sketch Breeding Coin predictions they must go through the Commission Panel!
Rules
All predictions must have the PSD attached in order to qualify for this event.Breeding rules still apply! If you bought a breeding slot for only one baby, please ensure that you have the owners permission before making extra baby predictions! If someone violates this they may have their baby deleted without refund.Please included "Prediction Pool Party" in your breeding notes, or predictions and breedings will be processed as normal! All artists must have a forum for their sales thread in our new Prediction Pool Party Subforum. The only exception is if you are just doing your own predictions.Now! Onto the part you are all really excited for, the coin specific bonuses!
PLEASE PM the person in charge of the coin you have questions about your breeding or a specific perk:
Breeding Queues and Who To Contact
All coin bonuses are good ONLY for breedings ALREADY SUBMITTED prior to May 19, 2020. That means your breeding must have been submitted on May 19, 2020 or earlier to qualify for any perks.
Breedings submitted prior to 19 May, 2019 may have an extra perk. They will be listed at the END of each coin that has bonus perks.
ALL COINS may submit this SCC as one of the offspring to your breeding if you so choose. This SCC will ONLY be available for the Pool Party 2020 and has been designed by Aros #4353!
You may use any of the 4 ear variations, and use it with or without the antlers!
MBC/LBC/Radioactive coins will act like a Painted Coin when submitting this SCC as one of the offspring, all other coins will allow edits based off the parents, edit randomizers, add-ons, etc. to the specific % amount (e.g. a BC coin that allows a 50% edited offspring will allow you to edit this SCC 50%)
Sketch Coins will allow 50% edits based off the parents to the SCC if you decide to use it as one of your offspring.
HERE is the PSD with all of the variations!
Blind Dates allow up to 75% edits, Delicious Eggnogs allow up to 50% edits. With permission from the other pet's owner you can upload a second baby! You must include the PM ID in the breeding notes. Both coins have a 20% chance for a rare, Nog's are allowed the same rare's as Blind Dates. Please PM Aros (#4353) for the rolls. Please read the Knowledge Base Article about Blind Dates for information about Blind Date and Eggnog predictions.
Breeding Coins grant an extra baby as well as increased edit percentages:
Breeding Coin without an addon - 50% baby and a 30% baby
Breeding Coin with an Edit Potion - 75% baby and a 50% baby
Breeding Coin with a Grand Edit Potion - Two 75% Edited baby, no USD kickback.
Breeding Coin without a baby addon - 2 Babies
Breeding Coin with a Fertility Potion - 3 Babies
Breeding Coin with a Married Pair - 3 Babies
Breeding Coin with a Married Pair and Fertility Potion - 4 Babies
2% chance for metal Alt Neura (PM Kita (#3988) for the roll)
You may also choose a provided SCC from the pot when a hybrid genetics kit is included.
If submitted before May 19, 2019 - 10% chance of an alt Neura rather than a 2% chance and breedings will act as though they have a Painted Bottle attached.
Evil Breeding Coins will give a Guaranteed Breedable baby, and the user is allowed to choose if the offspring is Evil or Normal.
You are permitted up to 50% Edits
1% Chance at a Metal Alt Neura (PM Kita (#3988) for the roll)
With a Hybrid Genetics Kit you can choose the hybrid or any SCC from the pot.
Holiday Breeding Coins have several bonuses! Predictions for this coin will act like they automatically have a Hybrid Genetics Kit or a Genetics Kit attached which allows you to submit any non-rare hybrid, common, uncommon, trash, or raw species you desire. You can also choose from any of the SCC Pot bases! The edit percentage for predictions is also being raised 50%. Every Holiday Breeding Coin prediction will also act as if it has a Painted Bottle attached, so you can color the baby however you see fit.
If you PM Kita (#3988) she will also roll for you to have a 10% chance of getting a rare hybrid during the breeding and a 5% chance at a 50% edited Alt Neura after the breeding is completed (So an additional super rare baby on top of your others). These rolls are *per* predict breeding not offspring.
If submitted before May 19, 2019- 50% chance of a rare hybrid instead of 10% and a 10% Neura chance.
1 extra baby per breeding
Each breeding acts like it has a Painted Vial attached.
5% chance of a Squishy/Sariform roll and our PPP SCC is available as a base to use for MBC
PM Kandria (#293) for rolls!
For all METAL BREEDING COINS submitted before May 19, 2019- Pick one of the Mudslide perks from the Mudslide event to apply to your breeding.
For all LESSER BREEDING COINS submitted before May 19, 2019 - You may make 2 extra offspring instead of just 1.
Neura Embryo and Dragon Lotus allow for 50% edits and act as if there is a Painted Bottle attached.
10% Chance at a second baby, PM Kandria (#293) for roll.
Painted Metal Breeding Coins and Painted Lesser Breeding Coins grant an extra baby. Married pairs that are bred with a Painted Metal Breeding Coin are given a 100% success rate for the second baby, so they total for 3 babies.
This stacks with Painted Eggs, Twins, and any other compatible breeding addon, however you must provide all babies and you lose out on the site provided baby!
You may add 1 edit to be drawn on each baby, up to 30%. This edit may only be an accessory! No pose changes, or base adjustments! Or you may use one edit from any of the Painted Edit Packs
You are allowed 1 baby of your choice: Mutant or Normal. As well as 1 added Mutant! If you would like to see if your first baby rolls a hybrid you can pm Kandria (#293) for your roll.
Up to 8 additional site pets that you own may be included in the notes for a total of 10 parents for mutants.
Rusted Breeding Coins allow an extra baby and you can breed any 2 pets together and pick your Trash Hybrid! With an HGK or Opalized Rock attached you may also use one of the provided SCCs as a base.
All Polished Rock breedings (Not just PPP!) also allow predictions, please PM Kozmotis (#48993) with the breeding ID to find out your SCC base(s) (for PPP you may get up to 2 SCC rolls since 2 babies are allowed, or ask for only 1 roll and use that base for both offspring)!
Sketch Breeding Coins permit a 3rd additional baby with 10% edits. The "founders" must remain metal however!
We are also allowing thematic add-ons to be added to these breedings.
All breedings may link a 3rd parent in the notes -- 3rd and 4th if a Platinum DNA is attached
With Platinum Breeding coin you are guaranteed a secondary baby with no edits without attaching a life seed!
Transitional Fossil Egg and Alidae Egg allow 75% edits, or two babies with 75% edits if you use a Grand Edit Potion. All breedings will also also act as if they have a Painted Bottle attached.
If you have a scribble breeding from the most recent event, you are allowed to upload predicts and not lose the perk provided that you include the specific day's perks in your breeding notes. For days that were rolled (i.e. Elemental, Cowboy vs Witch, etc), please PM Juke (#7625) for your roll.
Please remember that these changes are only for the Prediction Pool Party event! After August 31 11:59 PM Aywas Time all previous prediction rules are back in place!
I know I mentioned the SCC Pot a few times, what is that you ask? Last year (and for several years!), we had a thread where you could go to "shop" for different user submitted SCCs! These SCCs must be founded and have no rules. Please PM Juke (#7625) if you would like to submit an SCC to be available for use for the breedings -- please include a blank PSD and PNG as well as a link to the SCC Database entry. We will not accept all SCC's, we want to have a wide variety. Expect a thread to be formed shortly with the submitted SCC's and instructions on how to get the PSD's!
We will also be hosting the raffles again but the threads will come at a later point!

Welcome to June, Part 1
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-June) so we have time to snag 'em!
The Essence of June 2020 will turn your active pet into one random June 2020 pet listed above! The image will be updated once we have it in our possession.
A sparkling Lunaris friend has squeaked on by to wish those born in June a happy birthday! It adores finding and rolling pearls around, and its little mask makes it look like a cute, furry thief!
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 Mini Gradient Gargoyle! This little fellow came to inject some color into April - and now he's back to do it again! Add this item to a Scribble Breeding Coin and your breeding will result in two babies - and the second will be up to 15% edited from the first!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
July Monthly Shop Pets: Enter
July Monthly Customs - Sharks: Enter
Good luck with your entries!
The RCC and Jeweled pets will be announced in part two of the Welcome to June post. Until then, you are free to continue uploading May's options, which you can review here!
We wanted to thank everyone who engaged with the news post about the Drinking Game. We read all your comments, and have taken on board the suggestions you made about how to improve Option 2 should we have a similar idea for another feature.
The voting stayed quite steady over this week, with Option 1 polling ahead by 40-55 votes within hours and staying with that consistent lead.
As such, the Drinking Game will now deposit the pairs into the Scribble Breeding Coin queue, from this month (June) onward. May's top 10 went into the Eggnog queue, as it was not fair for us to change the prize that the users had worked for prior to this poll result.
Please remember that should you join the drinking game from this month onward, the resulting Scribble babies are all eligible as the first Founder pet of a Silver species. You will not need permission from the owner of the second pet in your breeding to found the species and sell/gift/trade PSD uses of this species. As always, if your pet has rules that need to be consented to you cannot play the Drinking Game with that pet. Additionally, if the prospect of sharing the edits on your pet in this way does not appeal to you, you should not play this game with that pet.
The KB articles for the game will be updated over this week, so we can make sure we answer any questions and clear up any confusions you may leave in your news comments.
