Scav Bites - Week 1
Contests
Scav Bites is a new weekly contest that offers one task for individual players to complete. Judges decide the best entries at the end of the week and award prizes.
Week 1 - Metal Breeding Pendant
TASK: Create a metal breeding pendant. It must, in fact, be made of metal. Make it look as good as you possibly can. The best MBP submitted at the end of the week wins an on-site Metal Breeding Pendant. Runner ups win a Metal Breeding Coin (number of runner ups will be determined at the end of the contest).

Australian Floods
Contests
An update on how our floods donation drive is going! So far, the members of Aywas have managed to raise:
$2935
And as it's officially past the end of the week, I have the winner of the custom Vion or Lunaris (up to the winner which they pick) which can have up to 50% edits:
Mrs. Morris (#960) with a donation of $270
Congrats!
Just because this is the end of the auction, doesn't mean you still can't donate to claim the Floods pets. Also, those who donated $10 or more to a charity will receive the Kaz Plushie. c:
I'm ridiculously proud of all the generous members of Aywas. You guys just blew my mind. <3

Scav Paint
Contests
Scav Paint
I was thinking up ways to help reward everyone who participated in scav without the economy tanking, and came up with this idea.
With scav paint, you get to select one of the free silver custom PSDs that the teams came up with (here's Morris's collection of all the silvers drawn for scav) and with the item, submit a non-lineart changed custom of your favorite scav SCC pet. :)
Everyone who participated on a team that scored at least 100 points gets one, so you can pick your favorite PSD from that thread and start coloring!
Here are some of my favorites:
These will be distributed to team leaders, so contact your team leader for your free paint tube sometime in the next 48 hours :)

Scav 2011 Results

I worked hard all last night and today to bring you the results so you wouldn't have to suffer wait. :)
Tweaked the "level" rankings so the point levels made more sense. :)
A level: 975 pts
Gold Custom Orb + 2 SP
YODA - 1089.5, [M] - 1079.5, Doomicorns - 1074, Odd Squad - 1035, Pirates - 1022, CAPSLOCK - 1015, Titty Committee - 1007, Venture - 987, Emo Ranger - 980
B Level: 862 pts
Raw Gold Crystal + 1 SP
Jux - 937, Hylian Muffins - 910, Insanity - 906, Horrible - 890, Psychonauts - 885, Explore - 875
C Level: 636 pts
Blue Custom Orb
Fantasy - 845, Skype - 820, Shamrock - 820, Libertines - 820, Big Bad Ponies - 795, Jellybean - 790, Whip Mah Hairrr - 780, Hispaniola - 775, Anti-Social - 755, Team Rocket - 755, Elitist - 750, Fusion - 745, Deadpool - 745, Awesome - 725, IDK - 720, Vesperia - 720, Knights - 720, Anonymous - 705, Heatwave - 695, Omega - 685, Mini - 650, Ferghus - 640

Now, prize distribution will take 1-2 weeks, as that's a lot of prizes to give out! Some teams might be missing - this is because the proof post wasn't correctly formatted and didn't give me point information. The team leaders have been contacted and those teams will be added here when that information is received.
The auxiliary prize thread will be open until January 25, and then those prizes and winners will be announced here in the news.
I posted some of the cool stuff I came across in this thread. Check out what your fellow members have made!
EDITS: Added a team that got their point total to me.
If you haven't noticed, I'm wearing the participating prizes :)
The paintbrush is for all members who participated on teams, and the skull (of a dead user.. D=) is for A and B-level teams. Also, judging from some forum posts, you guys seem to have forgotten that prize levels stack. (EG: A-level gets A, B, C, and D).

Scav Hunt is over!
Site Update
According to my count, 71 teams have competed in this year's mini scav :) Deadline has now passed and the proof forum has been hidden for judging. Congrats on all your efforts!
While you're waiting for judging (which will take a while, mind you - 71 threads is a lot to go through, so expect 1-2 weeks for judging), why don't you fill out auxiliary prize nominations?
Or, you can get ready for Big Scav...
JULY 2011

EBC Oopsie
Comics
There's a small error with EBCs right now, so this is to tell you all the issue:
Currently it seems like EBCs/EBPs (and RBC/Ps) are being automated by
Yasu, so they'll have failure notices automatically upon use, unless they succeed.
However! It was brought to my attention that currently EBCs/EBPs that are
failing aren't giving any Gray Vynes as a result. Until Yasu fixes this, use EBCs/EBPs at
your own risk! We advise you not to use them until this is fixed.
If you used one before this newspost and received no Gray Vyne, PM me and I'll
get you a coin refund. Thanks guys!
Edit: The fail notification that doesn't result in Gray Vynes should say that the
coin has 'broken' instead of not getting any notification or that the breeding 'succeeded'
(re: Vyne = 'fail') to produce a Vyne. There's a difference.
This should be for coins only from about this week, so if you haven't gotten
anything before that, you're safe until manual notifications happen again.

Aquarius
Pets
The aquarius Lunaris is here to stay! ... until Feb 19!
Also, regarding the news post below, I can help by offering to donate 10% of Aywas revenues for a week. That means 10% of your GP buys will also go toward Aetheria-points (lol) for the pets below (I will relay that information to her every day at the end of the day). When Aetheria holds her drawing, this will end. We will then donate that 10% amount and I'll let her know what it is so she can tell you.

Australian Floods
Pets
Hey there!
So as some of you know, and many of you probably don’t, Australia is going through some pretty rough times right now, specifically in the state of Queensland. Floods and inland tsunamis have been ripping through over the past couple of weeks, destroying homes and businesses, with the death toll currently at 22 with many more people missing. This doesn’t just affect Australia, but also a lot of other countries as Queensland is one of the major providers of wheat and coal for the world, and with the wheat crops ruined, and mines unable to function, many countries will be set back. You can read more information about the floods here and here
Due to the devastating events happening in Australia, we’re running a donation drive.
If you donate towards a floods charity, such as the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal or RSPCA QLD (because the pets there are suffering too) and show me the receipt as proof of donation by sending it to [email protected], each dollar you donate is worth one credit toward getting special donation pets. If you have another donation site/payment method in mind and are unsure, you’re welcome to send me a message to check. The donation pets, with thanks to Kassa (#1288) for designing them:
Floods Ippo 5 Credits | Floods Lunaris 10 Credits | Floods Vion : 15 Credits
In addition, the person with the highest ‘credit’ amount at the end of this week will win either a custom Vion or Lunaris (whichever they would prefer) with up to 50% edits. If there are two people with the same credit amount at the end, I’ll take it to random.org. The current highest amount will be recorded on my profile and updated at the end of each day (and within the last hours on the last day) for those that are interested.
If you have any questions, drop me a line. :)
edit: Also, the Ippo is really pretty on a black background. ;D
edit2: Working on fixing the links Links fixed - also, if you could include your Aywas name + ID in the email, that would be great. I'm sadly not a great detective. >_> If you've already sent me one without those two things, just send me a message and I'll send you your pets. :)
