Pets
Hey guys! I have a few quick updates for you.
Help Pages
First, we have some new links under Help that you might've noticed. We put together some simple but informative pages on Aywas species, breeding, and custom creating. They are not comprehensive, but they do give a nice overview that will help new players digest three of the biggest aspects on the site (and be nice reminders for older players). Take a look and see what you think!
Small ToS Update
Secondly, our ToS has gotten a minor update. Remember the rule about expected behavior and rudeness? Well, it's gotten a slight wording make-over so that it's more clear. The new part is right here: When discussing a sensitive topic (such as religion, politics, sexuality, etc.), users must remember to remain respectful and should keep any criticism aimed at the issue instead of each other. Voicing dislike for a political/religious figure or group is one thing, but personal attacks and insults toward Aywas members is another.
Much less confusing and much more fair than the wording of the previous paragraph, yes? xD In light of this update, we have added a sticky to the Rants board that includes some helpful posting tips. I hope that you guys find them useful.
New Moderators!
We also have some new moderators to introduce! Thank you to everyone who applied, we got a lot if interest this time around and narrowing down applicants was extremely hard. Here are your new staff members (in no particular order):
Visark - #185
Lorin - #537
rage-chan - #46
Skitty - #543
Jani - #6880
Eveglori - #2775
Congrats! We look forward to working with you. n_n
All moderators will be receiving a monthly review, so if you have any concerns or compliments, please forward them to Aetheria or myself! We'd really appreciate it. :3
Special Lottery!
And finally, we're running a new lottery!
You can buy ONE ticket for 1000 BP and the prize is... A MYSTERY. O:

Okay, phew, I think that's everything! (And hopefully all the links work.)

Some Updates
Pets
Random Good Deed Breedings
I wonder what's inside...
Doing good things for other members will now be randomly rewarded. If I spot you doing a good deed, you might get a randomized free breeding between two of your lair pets. I'll let you know if you get one with a message on your profile, which'll tell you to await eggs! It'll be rare, but fun!
Plush PreOrders
Okay, I tweaked how plushes will be available for preorder on Monday, July 19th (a week from now). They will be released in three batches to accommodate different time zones. Each batch will have 75 slots for each individual plush. Batch 1 will be released at 12:00 AM the 19th, Batch 2 will be released at 12:00 PM the 19th, and Batch 3 will be released at 11:59 PM the 19th. Hope this helps!
Also, I will be going to Gencon in Indianapolis. If you would like to go to the convention and pick up your pre-ordered plush(s) there (at the Indy convention center), you won't have to pay any shipping cost.

Regarding Flux/Lunaris breedings...
Pets
Hey users, I have an announcement to make regarding Flux and Lunaris breedings.
Slash has informed me that Flux and Lunaris LBC breedings weren't supposed to get 2 offspring every time bred. So from now on, be aware that Flux LBC breedings have a 70% chance of giving only 1 offspring (will be rolled, 30% is for 2), and Lunaris LBC breedings will only give 1 offspring 100% of the time.
Now, this affects all Flux/Lunaris breedings in queue currently and in the future. If you have any in queue at the moment and you want a refund of your LBC because of the rule change, please let me know and I'll refund your LBC as such. I've instructed my artists to stop working on them until everyone currently in queue has chosen if they want to continue with the breeding or not.
Past recipients of Flux/Lunaris offspring are not affected by this. Again, this only applies to current/future Flux/Lunaris breedings.

Second: Breeding Coins will be leaving the shop at midnight tonight (the start of the 9th), as well as the 2-for-1 promotion will end. They will return October 1st.
Noooo. D: Zombies, what happened? Our event is ending at midnight tonight and I really don't want to admit to Epsilon that vampires are better. :| Come on, beat them! Throw Pumpkin Hats at them or something. ;_;

Comic and Previews
Pets
If you haven't already started playing the Vampire and Zombie event, click above to do so now!
First, here's the comic:
Second, here's a preview, it's associated with the same features that the petbox is!
Sorry about the lag, guys, there are more people online than the server can handle with the current coding. :( Fortunately our v3 programming is much more efficient than this coding (actually, v2 loads the same page twice whenever you click something).
