This very, very rare item was recently stolen from someone. How? A scamming lair partner.
Please, please, PLEASE think about who you plan to let onto your account. As Aywas gets bigger, scammers start showing up, which is unfortunately what one user experienced tonight. A nice, friendly user was really a scammer - and stole all the rare items off their "new partner"'s account.
Your BIGGEST defense against scammers is to look at the activity of the person you're considering let onto your account. How long have they been involved in the community? Do they make contributions - pet colors, suggestions, wearables, etc? When did they register? Do they have things of value (customs, custom HA items, etc) that they wouldn't want to lose by scamming?
Let's face it - if you have nice things, someone will want to take them from you. Don't let it happen. Make sure that the person you're planning on trusting doesn't seem like someone who is obviously not up to par with you, riches wise. If you have a lot of nice things, they should too. Otherwise, who's to say they won't steal yours?
Lair partners can make Aywas a better, more personal game for both players. But you need to make sure you look at how trustworthy, based on activity, that person is. That way you have a better net to filter out the scammers.

This is one of the reasons I feel that the applications should close for a little while. >_< Also, that really sucks, I hope they got their item back and that scammer perma-banned. :x

Well... now I don't think I'm going to get myself a lair partner any time soon. :I Unless it's like... my sister, bahaha.
Seriously, though. This sucks. D: This, I think, is the first time I've ever seen someone be scammed... and I've been here since about a month after Aywas started.

This is why I don't share my account.

I could never share my account with anyone, lol. I like having all this space to myself. But this is a good announcement to make to warn others. :x
