Site Update
Hey guys, I'm here again with another round-up call for breeding artists. This time around, I'm looking for more LBC artists. You can apply for hybrid artist as well, but the aforementioned position is the one that we're really looking for applicants on. I've condensed the application down even more to only three pairs to make to apply, so hopefully it isn't as daunting to people from the last time around.
I still need to go through a few older applicants/a few that have asked for applications as well, but keep in mind the requirements for LBC artist -- they aren't bad at all! You get paid in GP per baby, you get a list of ten pairs to complete in a ten day period, and as always we're very flexible with school, real life, jobs, etc. I know how it can be, it's the middle of the semester term and all.
Bottom line is, LBC is getting a wee bit backed up, and I'm eager to hire on some new people to help out with it. You get access to the artist break room if you get on, you know, and we have unlimited cake and punch. Great incentive, eh? :] So send your application requests to the usual [email protected] if interested! I'll drop that short, friendly app to you asap.
(And if I've neglected to get to your app before, please poke me, they get lost very, very quickly in the email. We get tons per day!)

The End is Nigh
Pets
oh my goodness call health and safety
Hello! Are we all having fun at the hands/paws/claws of our new demonic and possessed friends? :D What's that? You can't sleep with the lights out or your pet will eat you? Nonsense, he's biting you to show affection. Really. Maybe you're not feeding him enough.
Anyway!
This is just a quick reminder to let you know that the free line-art switch for the Insi ends at 11:59:59pm tomorrow, October 3rd. That leaves you with a little over 24hrs to submit your last few Insi pets - after that, any and all Insi line-art changes must be submitted via Dawn Crystal.
Please note if you are sending me lists of mixed genera you can do me a huge favour by splitting them up into "Phantos", "Gaels", "Melos", etc. It takes me twice as long to do one Gael, then one Soli, then switch back to Gael, then move on to Reves.
Yasu has some important information for you below, so make sure ye be readin' it.
Good hunting to all!

About the Map Event
Site Update
I've been floating between each of the conven's forums and noticed quite a lot of chatter when it comes to collecting map pieces for the second part of the event. So I figured I'd share some information on how to get the map pieces and their purpose in the event.
A lot of members believe that the map pieces come only from the Haunted Woods, but actually it's the opposite. There are a total of nine map pieces scattered throughout all of the explorable areas except the Haunted Woods. You do not get the map pieces from the merchant. When you come across a map piece, you will be notified via the explore system.
The nine map pieces are used to unlock a special location during the event where you can then search for a special item to help raise your team's Note score. In order to win the next phase of the event, one team must collect at lease one each each Note -- 50 in total.
Yes, we know the map pieces are difficult to find, and thus far I only see two teams that found at lease one map piece, so what I'll do is increase the rate in which you can find the map pieces.
There are two more stages to this event, so the quicker we get our winner for this stage, the quicker the real fun can begin =P
As a side note, I've also came across quite a few reports about the merchants in the explore areas (other than the Haunted Woods) and the pet gifting. I will begin work now to resolve both issues and you should expect them working within an hour or so.
Edit
Also, if you haven't noticed, all explore areas are unlocked for pets created before yesterday night. This is because in an attempt to debug the next stage of the event before releasing it, I accidentally deleted all of the pet's stored explore locations. We are still working with the server company in order to retrieve the back up of this information, but for the time being we'll keep all the locations unlocked for everyone. You should use this opportunity to check out some of the other features each location have available before we get the back ups.

Brief Downtime
Site Update
Please stand by as we have a brief downtime. I need to recover the explore data, lol.
Should be back in 15-30 minutes when it goes down.
Go in XAT in the mean time?

Talismans
Site Update
Just wanted you to know that when a team reaches 500 points in each talisman category, everyone moves onto the next stage, the map. :3
BTW everything in Haunted Forest works now, if you haven't checked back.
Also, there's a link to the Halloween Event under "Play" if you haven't noticed

It's night...
Dark things are lurking in the shadows...
Will you visit the Haunted Forest?
PS: Tranqs edited for pet capture ease!~ Note that they do not function for battle now, you have to use them before battle.
PPS: Ignore the fact that your pets can't see other areas for now.
Remember to check your design with Skitty in the Ask the Admin forum before using one of these~

October Monthly Pets!
Pets
October Monthly Pets!
Cash Shop Pets
BP Shop Pets
Okay, first thing to note :3 Please contact Visark for your artist payment. I switched up where the pets went so note that you get the pay for the contest you entered (EG: if you entered the BP contest and your pet went to the Cash Shop, you still get the BP contest pay, which is higher).
Second, here is a list of pets that won as well and will be part of the Haunted Forest design collection: Demon Soli, Witch Doctor Phanto, Werewolf Melo, Broken Demon Soli, Carnage Phanto, Decay Insi, Halloween Spirit Phanto, Hallow Oakl, Harvest Chiro, Mummy Insi, Jack o Lantern Melo, Ghostly Maki, Autumn Blaze Melo, Halloween Glow Melo, Zombie Melo, Mummy Phanto, Mutated Pest Lacer, Night Light Reve, Skull Oakl, Zombie Oakl, Pumpkin Vine Melo, Nevermore Reve, Rotten Bait Gael, Trick Melo, Skelly Vyne, Skinwalker Melo, Zombie Soli, Stitched Oakl, Wither Vyne.
Please wait until your pet is released to claim the artist payment for it (which will be equal to the prize of the contest you entered).
Monthly Potion
the October 2010 potion is now in existence and stocks in the Cash Shop for 5 GP. :3
It is also the monthly Premium item so you can get started collecting the awesome pets above!
Please note the October 2010 potion won't include Haunted Forest pets; it only includes BP and GP Shop pets (to prevent oversaturation of the potion).
PS: I'm giving this item away randomly to people online as well, same as the default hybrids. :3
All Catchable, or Half Custom?
One of the Haunted Forest collected designs!
Now, there are two ways to go about the Haunted Forest - I have about 90 horror designs currently stocked up. I can release them all into the Haunted Forest over the next month (and I assure you, the Haunted Forest is tons easier to catch pets than Explore is), or I could have half be in the Haunted Forest, and give away around half as free customs throughout the month. It's your choice, which do you prefer?
Nearer Halloween, some special Halloween items are going to be released into the Haunted Forest - including potions that let you randomly get a pet from the Haunted Forest, and let you select which pet you you want from the Haunted Forest, so I promise by the time this is over you'll have all the ones you want, regardless of the number released. xD
The Haunted Forest is more about going on a fun catching spree than Explore typically is :3
