Slippery Snoodles
Site Update
Hey Guys! Sorry to interrupt the Black Friday Madness however in my own flurry of paperwork and uploading I missed uploading a full set of snoodles by the talented Pavel Chekov (#6821)!
They are added to the pot now, however since the Exotic Egg goes down in price in just 20 minutes the PSD's may not be added in time, so if you claim one of these spooky snakes please send a message to Pavel Chekov (#6821) asking for the PSD! They will also be uploading the PSD the moment they get a chance.
I want to thoroughly apologize for this mixup, and I will strive to avoid this happening ever again.

Black Friday Sales - Sunday!
Site Update
There are still some absolutely fantastic Exotics left in Event Exotic box!
Here are the bonuses you can look forward to:
Sunday November 26th
- 35% More GP With purchase!
- GP Shop and USD Shop have a 1% chance of duplicating your purchase, doubling your order!
- 5% OFF GP and BP SHOP! (15% for Premium)
- Double Premium!
- Splendid Shimmering Exotic Egg will be in the 50 Special USD Bonus Tier
- The added USD Shop items will be removed after today.
The Aywapedia Encyclopedia!
I know everyone has been eagerly awaiting the Premium item for November 2017! We hit a few snags with it, but have decided to release it with the following warning so our users are aware we know of the issue:
*****Customs have the unfortunate ability to show up as a "Moonbeam Gael" or, if they were overlaid, as whatever species they originally were. Please take care to not release your customs that are masquerading as something else by accident when using this new account upgrade.*****
This Account Upgrade will allow you to use the Aywapedia to see how many of a specific type of pet you have captured. If the pet background is green and you have captured any, you can then click the "# Captured" under the pet and it will show you which pets in your lair are that type!
The account upgrade should be usable now!
We have also released the Half a Breeding Coin and Half a Holiday Breeding Coin into the Recycling Center!
The Half a Breeding Coin works exactly like a Breeding Coin does, but is prediction only and gives one offspring unless a Greater Fertility Potion is added (or the pair is married!). The Half a Holiday Breeding Coin works exactly like a Holiday Breeding Coin, but is predict-only.
You can trade in 1 Breeding Coin for a Half a Breeding Coin Package, which opens into two Half a Breeding Coins, and 1 Holiday Breeding Coin for a Half a Holiday Breeding Coin Package which opens into two Half a Holiday Breeding Coins! We have also made the half coins exchangeable at a 1:1 ratio, so you can exchange 1 Half HBC for a Half BC, or vice versa depending on your needs!
The creation of these coins do not change the way Breeding Coins or Holiday Breeding Coins currently work, you are welcome to continue to submit predictions with those coins if you wish to.
The Half BC and Half HBC coins can also be found in the USD Shop until the end of Sunday (11:59 pm on November 26, 2017).

BF Artists: Please Read + Plush Thread
Site Update
Kaiyo here, hijacking Eves news post, please make sure all BF artists read the below.
An update to the Plush Series 11 Thread, several people have sent me them and only put the link in the notification, I apologize if their was a confusion however I need a Private Message with the link! If I accidentally delete your notification I won't have any record of you sending me the thread or know what pet you want made! So please send me your PMS ASAP.
Don't forget that tonight at midnight AST the Splendid Shimmering Exotic Egg will be available for $75! There is still quite a few really nice exotics up for grab!
Just a quick reminder:
Offering incentives to purchase your Black Friday set (either with free recolors, free art, items, currency etc) is considered solicitation and acts against the good will and intent of the sell-out bonuses.
Anyone who is found to be offering incentive to purchase their set will be contacted, and may risk losing their sell-out bonus as they did not sell out in a fair manner to other artists.
Free recolors and gifts may be offered to purchasers of your designs after the end of the sales and when the exotics pot is empty.
If anyone sees someone offering incentives on or off site, please contact staff so we can make them aware of this news post, thank you

Black Friday is Incoming!
Site Update
If you are an artist and you requested a Shimmering Exotic Egg for one of your payments,
if you do not get it by 11:30PM AST Please PM Kousei(#25044) and include a link to our PM
Black Friday is nearly upon us! So before it begins I want to announce some very important updates!
The GP and BP event items will not be stocking in their normal shops! Instead they will stock in the Event Shop! At this moment that link won't work for you, as the shop is disabled so that I could fully stock it before the event begins.
There will be rare items stocking in it throughout the event and on Monday special items will be added for GPalooza!
There is a wide assortment of items for sale for GP and BP for this weekend, these items will remain in the Event Shop until the end of monday.
I have a few more new items for you!
The Plushie series have always been super popular so we wanted to bring it back! The Plush Series 10 Box will eventually open up into 1 random Plush from the new Series 10! If you want one of your personal pets turned into a Plushie then you want to look into the Plushie Series 10 Kit! The kit will open into 1 Box, and the Plush Series 10 Thread. You then can send the thread to me, along with a PM and a link to the pet that you own! Once the plushies are done you will get a copy of your pets plushie!
Reminder these Plushies are for on site, they are for site items, not real physical plushies.
You can find them as well as a selection of items below in the USD Shop!
Once more! The sale begins at 11pm AST tonight! The Shimmering Splendid Exotic Eggs can be used at midnight!
Please read below for exact times for everything!

Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday!
Site Update
****************
Edit
***************
If you would like to see what the vistas are: Cute Exotics Vista | Hatching Exotics Vista | Autumn Friends Vista
As a note, this post was originally written yesterday on the 22nd and then finished proof reading just after midnight, so some of the parts may say something about tomorrow the 23rd.
Good evenin' folks! It is that time of the year, the 24 (or so) hour warning for Black Friday 2017! We have quite a few new folks, so I will try to explain how this works in as simple terms as I can!
First up, I want you to know that a few more sets will be joining us tomorrow (The 23rd)!
During certain days and times there is a "Special USD Credit" that is obtained from purchasing stuff in the USD Shop. This credit is viewable here under "Collect Bonus" on the USD Shop page. It currently is listing the normal credit. Tomorrow on November 23rd at 11pm AST, the credit will change to the Special USD Credit. You will not see any changes on the page other than the credit you have now will appear as $0.00.
Do not worry, your normal credit is safely tucked away and will come back later! So, how do you get the Special USD Credit? You purchase anything in the USD Shop after 11pm AST; any purchases before will not count towards the Special USD Credit.
What do you do with the Special USD Credit?
This is the Splendid Shimmering Exotic Egg! You can collect this egg in one or more of the Special USD Credit tiers, and then use this egg to claim one of the Teos at 12am (midnight, 1 hour after the Special USD Credit Sale starts).
To view the Exotics you can choose from, please come look at the Event Exotics tab, found under “Shop” in the top bar.
Be warned that these Exotics are first come first serve, so make sure you have back-ups in mind in case you don’t get your first choice!
The Special Bonus Credit Tiers which include Exotic Eggs change daily. Here are the times and prices:
Thursday November 23rd 11:00pm
- Special Credit Begins
- Purchases count towards Special Credit
- 50% more GP with purchase
- GP Shop and USD Shop have a 3% chance of duplicating your purchase, doubling your order!
- 10% OFF THE USD SHOP
- 20% OFF THE GP and BP SHOP! (30% for Premium)
- Double Premium!!
- Shimmering Splendid Exotic Egg will be available under the 100 USD Special Bonus Credit Tier
- Shimmering Splendid Exotic Egg will not be usable to claim Event Exotics yet. This is a good time to sell in the forums!
Friday November 24th 12:00 am (This tier is exactly 1 hour after the last!)
- Purchases count towards Special Credit
- 50% more GP with purchase
- GP Shop and USD Shop have a 3% chance of duplicating your purchase, doubling your order!

- The Tiers will be cleared at 11:59pm (The Eggs will remain in the tiers until this time as well, even if there are no more Exotics available, so that collectors can obtain them)
I know, I know, I mentioned a few times about some special edition items?
First up, how about some New Items!
The Speed Dating Slip works just like the Blind Dates, in that you use it from your inventory and it pairs your active pet up with a random partner! The catch is that this breeding item is Predictions Only. Meaning that it will not ever go to a site artist. However, it will be cheaper due to that. The Hotel Key is a special breeding add-on for Blind Dates, Delicious Eggnogs, and Speed Dating Slips that will allow you to create a second prediction baby for your breeding (Blind Date and Eggnog can either submit 2 predicts, or have 1 artist baby and 1 predict baby. Speed Dating Slips will have 2 predict babies.). You will need permission from the other parent and you must link the PM in the breeding notes.
We have three new Vistas: Autumn Friends Vista, Hatching Exotics Vista, and Cute Exotics Vista!
You can find them in the new Random Vista Grab Bag! This will give you 1 of any exciting non-exclusive Vista.
I am still working on compiling the full list of what is going to be for sale in the USD, GP and BP shops. To give you an idea of what to expect, there will be some rare custom makers, old premium items, old limited items, the normal Account Upgrades, and quite a bit more!
As always, the Top Three Spenders will receive a special bonus. If the artist gets back to me in time, they will be offered a special pet, Xaoc Totem, or access to the Future Custom Feature (allows 1x >50% edited pet on all genera released after it is activated on your account).
If there is something specific you are looking for, feel free to post in the comments!
Now for some bad news... due to their queues, Blind Dates and Breeding Coins will not be available for sale this year. The Blind Dates will be temporarily removed from the shop during this sale. I apologize for the inconvenience this may pose.
Sketch Breeding Coins will remain in the shop, however I do want to warn anyone interested in purchasing them that the queue is backed up right now, although not as badly as the two previously mentioned coins.

Black Friday/Exotic clarification stuff
Site Update
Excuse the fact that there's no beautiful images or memes in my newspost, I'm posting from my phone and am kind of lazy :)
We've seen some posts about the Black Friday sale and we're excited that you're excited about it!
Just a reminder that the sale will start TOMORROW, November 23rd, 2017, at 11 PM Aywas time. We will have the customary "buy things for an hour and get your eggs ready," and then the Exotic Box will open when the clock hits 12:00 midnight and November 24th begins.
To get a first day Exotic claim, it is going to be 100$ USD credit that is specific to the Black Friday Sale. Your current credit will not be usable for eggs until after the sale ends. Make sure that you only begin purchasing AFTER 11 pm Aywas time on November 23 if you want your credit to be able to be used on Exotic eggs for the Black Friday Box.
Prices will reflect the Black Friday sale prices starting on November 23 at 11 pm Aywas time, so no worries on missing out on a sale in order to claim your exotic egg early before the box opens at midnight :)

Look it's me again I'm back
Site Update
Hi everyone, it's me again!
I bet you all missed me since it's been all of like, 20 hours since I made a news post ;D
I'd like to announce that all Edit Randomizers are now compatible with predictions!
Please read this KB article for details on it. For your reading pleasure, I will copypaste the part about predictions here so if anyone has any questions they can post in the comments and we can answer ASAP :).
------------------
"A. If you are doing a prediction and your artist is not on a Breeding team compatible with Edit Randomizers, you must PM Kita #3988 with 3 one word prompts, she will choose which one the baby will follow. You may PM a different set of 3 prompts for each offspring, or PM a set of 3 prompts and all offspring will follow the chosen prompt.
B. If you are doing a prediction and your artist is on a Breeding team compatible with Edit Randomizers, you may give them your one word prompt and they will follow that with your prediction. When submitting the prediction, put your one word prompt in the notes."
------------------
Kaiyo and I meant to do this after the PPP, since many people used Randomizers with predictions and it seemed to work out very well, but alas, I have the memory of a goldfish and completely forgot until now ^^'
Hopefully everyone is happy with this change and I get a ton of PMs for Randomizer Rolls from you lovely Aywans :)
Bye, I love you all <3
TJ made me this, so I must use it now because I love it, everyone go love on TJ please.
(also read the news post below for more cool stuff that you'll love!)

Who let Kita make a news post????
Site Update
Hello everyone! I'm here with some exciting news!
Lots of it, in fact.
After the Prediction Pool Party event, we met and talked about some of the queues and what seemed to work or be received well during the PPP!
We have decided that predictions for Sketch Breedings will be allowed from here on out :) They will need to follow the same rules as they did throughout the PPP (offspring must be a combination of both parents and not favor one or the other too heavily, props must be less than 30% of the entire design, etc.).
If you are going to offer Sketch predictions there are no price caps for these.
We can't wait to see all of the new baby predicts submitted with your coins!
We also have some exciting news about some prediction price caps being changed!
The following coins have had their USD price cap changed:
Blind Date, Eggnog, Breeding Coin, Holiday Breeding Coin, and Evil Breeding Coin.
30% offspring (such as Eggnog babies)=15$ USD cap
50% offspring (Such as Blind Date babies)=25$ USD cap
75% offspring=35$ USD cap
We hope that with these changes there will be more artists willing to offer their fantastic skills up for predictions!
We also are going to allow site breeding artists to take predictions WITHOUT any caps.
This goes for GP and USD, as long as you are on some sort of breeding team that is run by Kaiyo or Kita!
You can check out the forum here and read the guidelines for these kind of predictions.
All predictions done by site artists without the USD cap must go in this forum.
What's better than a Breeding Coin (or a Holiday Breeding Coin)?
A 75% Hybrid edited however you want it to be!!!!!! (no USD caps on custom pets, folks!)
The Hybrid Elixir is now stocking in the Recycling Center and you can exchange 1 Breeding Coin or 1 Holiday Breeding Coin for this fabulous item :)
If you would like to cancel a breeding currently in queue and get it refunded, head on over to the super coolio fun place where you can do that!
(Eve has just told me it's called the Breeding Refund Thread *coughs*)
Woah, so sparkly *_*
Silhouettes for the last 3 bases have been added ;D
Everyone knows about the BP Sink, right?
Well if not, now you do!
We have decided, to help you all along in donating that precious BP of yours, to introduce a trade-in for those Sparkling Crystals.
I know, you can only make so many of those awesome Yam dragons, or Linchan bears, or the spiky robot JaMew provided us with, we have heard your pleas and have come up with a solution (hopefully!!!)!
This will work much like the Mystery Box. You will be able to trade in your Sparkling Crystals in different amounts for fun random prizes *wow* *gasp* *Kita you're so awesome!*
Now now, settle down friends!
Unfortunately this is not something that is ready right this second but it will be ready soon!
I am hopeful that we can nail down some items to shove in this fun random box feature within the next week or so and get it up and running so you all can have some fun with your BP!
If you'd like to suggest some items you'd love to see in the news comments, we'll be keeping an eye out and writing down any interesting suggestions we see! Please keep in mind that we would like to keep items that pay out USD to a minimum (such as Design Tickets, Platinum Breeding Coins, etc.).
