Site Update
Hello Fleshlings, I apologize for interrupting your strange... fish related holiday, however The Slashbot has a very important message from Krampus&Friends (#6312), so please take a moment of your time to read this. (TW: Animal Death)
Dear Aywas,
A small town zoo and rescue needs our help!
This place is called The Little Ponderosa Zoo, and it is located in Clinton, Tennessee. They started out as a zoo, but quickly after opening their doors they were flooded by requests from people asking to drop off their exotic pets. So they soon became a zoo and rescue. They are located in my very small town, but the impact they have is country-wide. They have taken in animals from all over the states, from monkeys to foxes to camels to kangaroos. They even have a couple tigers they took in from an animal sanctuary that couldn't keep them permanently. The Little Ponderosa Zoo has been a household name in our little town for years.
On December 4th, an electrical fire burned down the main barn on the property. Employees and fire fighters suffered from burns trying to save as many animals as they could. But unfortunately, they still lost almost 50 animals, including several primates, small cats, foxes, birds, reptiles, and more. But in addition to the loss of life, the barn also held all of their feed and feeding containers. They are desperately reaching out to the community for donations, both monetary and items.
I have been completely heartbroken over this, along with everyone in my community. And I know that this is the sort of thing that Aywas users would want to know about, and would want to help out with. I would love to see my amazing virtual community reach out to this very deserving staple of my offline community. Aywas users have done so much good, and I know they can do that again.
No matter what you can give, be it money, items, thoughts, prayers, or spreading awareness, everything is appreciated!
If you would like to donate Here is a link to their Website
I have also compiled a list of other relevant links:

Exotic Pet Palace Warning
Pets
Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a bit of a heads up that I'll be changing the stock in my shop come January 3rd! So if you want to own any of these pretty pets I currently am selling, you should buy them before January 3rd. On January 3rd, they will be permanently retired and new pets will take their place.

Announcement About Gifts
Site Update
Hey everyone,
A short while ago we discovered that due to how the Elaborate Present and Christmas Tree were coded, they were sometimes giving out BP and GP shop items that are no longer in stock. This was an oversight due to our new way of stocking the shops, and sadly this means that some people got items that were... well, less than in the mood of the season!
As such if you got an item which is not current stock (showing as a stock possibility in BP or GP shop) and you do not want it please open the item in a new tab, and take a screenshot of the item with the address bar showing, like so.
And then send that image in a PM to me at #2775. (If you are using a mobile platform then the time/datestamp isn't necessary.)
Those who gained a BP item they should not have will be refunded with a natural Aywa Enhancement and a Holiday Cracker.
Those who gained a GP item they should not have will be refunded with a Nice Stocking and a Flaming Pudding.
If you happened to get something juicy from this error then please feel free to keep it, with our best wishes (you lucky thing you)!
PMs will be processed tomorrow so that I can do it all in one go.
Please do not use, trash, or otherwise give away the item to another account until the refund has been received, thank you!

SCRIBBLES AHAHAHAAAAA -laughs forever-
Site Update
DO YOU LIKE SCRIBBLES?????
DO YOU LIKE TO BREED?????
WELL,
you are in luck!
(I mean, I guess if you hate both of these things you aren't in luck, you monster.)
First off, I have hired quite a few new Scribble Artists who are excited to take your breedings! You can look at this Knowledge Base Article to see the artists and their examples!!!
We also have a new item stocking in the GP Shop for 25 GP! This ticket will allow you to pick 3 or more artists for your Scribble Breeding, or pick one artist you do not want assigned your breeding! Any Artist in the Knowledge Base is up for the picking!
Scribble Breeding Coins are also stocking in the GP Shop. 50 will stock now and I will have 50 more stock later tonight at 8:30 PM Aywas time.
5 Scribble Talismans will be stocking now, and 5 at 8:30 PM Aywas time.
Smudged Scribble Coins will have 50 stocked right now. They went really slowly last time, so if that happens again they will not stock again tonight like regular scribbles.

Last Minute Shopping?
Site Update
Good evening, Aywas! We hope that you're enjoying the holiday season so far with good food and good friends!
Just to let you all know, there will be a last-minute USD sale starting at midnight tonight and ending 11:59 pm on Sunday. It'll be a great chance to grab some surprises for your loved ones (and maybe even to treat yourself to a Plush Talisman or Alt Cube!)
On a separate note the staff have taken notice that having the main event and seasonal shop happening during prime holiday time is not something you all enjoy, so the seasonal shop will be coming later don't fret! This way you all can enjoy spending time with those around you outside of the site and not have to worry about missing anything big!
Happy shopping!

Aymas: Niklas loves YOU!
Site Update
Ho Oh Ho little Aywasians! It is I, NIKLAS! I have come bearing gifts in this cold, wet, gift giving season! I have been informed this pleases you little squishy creatures, so enjoy!
I have replaced those silly things in the Holiday lane with PROPER GIFTS! Ho oh Ho I am the greatest! You can use this SUPER BESTEST GIFT EVER to trade for even better SUPER BESTEST GIFTSSSSS!
The overly jovial Niklas laughs excitedly, clapping and encouraging himself.
I have also created more super special pets! You like pets yes? There is bestest pets now, GO CAPTURE THEEEEEM. LOVE THEEEEM!
He points adamantly back to the Holiday Lane.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would seem that Niklas has replaced the items in Adventure with his "gifts", added some unique... pets, and opened the Event Shop for you to exchange those gifts. How... curious...
We decided to sneak in some pets of our own while he got excited, and hopefully they will be more to your tastes!
In less... odd news, we have brought back the Holiday Gift Basket for this year.
Every $10 you spend in the USD Shop or on GP will get you a complimentary Holiday Gift Basket 2017 that must be given to another player via the holiday tree! You are unable to open the basket yourself, it needs to be given to another player via the holiday tree. The basket will change and become openable on December 25th! Hiding within this beautiful box you will find a Bouquet of Icicles which give you a small handful of icicles, Snowballs to throw at other players, a Flaming Pudding, a Reindeer Bell which is used to make the new Baby Reindeer SCC, and a new "Special" Snowcone complimentary of Niklas!
You can use the Reindeer Bell to make your own Baby Reindeer with up to 50% edits, or you can use it to upload our Pre-Colored Baby Reindeer. We have updated the Special Custom Makers KB Article with them!
In the spirit of Aymas we have brought back the Make a Wish Threads!
2017 Make a Pet Wish!
2017 Make an Item Wish!
Please make sure to read the rules thoroughly before you post!
Also making a return is the Aymas Hub! Your one-stop page that takes you to all the places you need to navigate this Aymas season.
We have gone ahead and stocked the GP and BP Shops with all sorts of goodies so if you wanna go Aymas shopping now is a good time! They will remain in stock until the end of December!
As a reminder, the stockings and other "Aymas" based items such as the trees, presents and stockings cannot be opened until December 25th on Aywas!
I would also like to let everyone know that we have overhauled the items yet again to give more awesome items including the prediction only coins, Reindeer Bells, some have Cartons of Mystery eggs and so much more!
Another quick revamp is the Rare Jeweled Stave - we're renaming it to Jeweled Rare Stave, following the naming convention of it's fellow Jeweled custom makers!
The Holiday Rare Potion has been upgraded to now also allow Exotics! The Mininog is the next in our line of "Predict Only" breeding coins! It works just like a Delicious Eggnog and is compatible with the same addons.
Important note: This week we will be performing some minor background work to the site which may knock it out for upwards to 24-48 hours! At this point we don't know if it will and we don't have an exact time, once we get more information I will try to keep you updated.
