Site Update
Roughly a year ago, the world of Ay fell into Famine's grasp.
The idea of famine itself as a curse seemed to be the most benevolent outcomes of the apocalypse: Conquest and War were plundering and violent, and Death was too final, but maybe you could avoid Famine.
The change wasn't obvious at first. Famine did not have the brazen swiftness of the other horses, and consequently proved to wreak the most havoc on Ay--and by extension, Ara--quietly. As sources of plant life began to wither and pools of water receded, denizens tried moving away from the decay, squandering resources and facilitating the horse's reign. Patches of Ay essentially began to die, and there was little anyone could do to stop it.
Ara emerged after Ay had already been afflicted with famine. While it enjoyed pockets of fresh air, the threat to this new world was palpable. A refuge for those fleeing the world of Ay, Ara quickly became susceptible to the inevitable presence of relentless disease, its food supply fleeting. In actuality, not only was Famine a force that stole life energy, but in some ways it was all the other three horses combined.
One year later, we have the chance to help the two worlds recover.
In Ay vs. Ara, you are a loyal dweller of your team region and will be summoned by the earth to provide the items each respective place needs to be refueled.
Each hour, your region will ask for a different item. During that hour, your objective is to turn in as many of that item as you are willing to part with. The more you turn in, the more points you will accumulate for yourself and your team.
Points are based on rarity. Our regions are humble and will only be asking for r10-r40 items. r10 items are worth 1 point each, r20 items are worth 2 points each, etc. The regions will be asking for the same items so that one area doesn't have a huge advantage or disadvantage over another, but this means you'll have to scramble for the items in demand!
So, what do you get out of all of this? -- Other than the satisfaction of helping out Ay or Ara and the thrill of competition (and bragging rights if you win). The points that you earn will be used as currency in the Ay vs. Ara edition of the Seasonal Shop! To clarify, being on the winning team does not impact your prizes since your points are based on individual contributions.
Time is of the essence: you will have 48 hours to help your team.
The last hour of the event is from 11:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on October 7th (Sunday night).
Get ready to help your teammates out and show some Ay and Ara pride!
Swing by Aywas Talk to find your team thread if you haven't met up with anyone on your side yet. :3
The event should start at 12:00:01 a.m. (in just about an hour) if you guys don't lag the site too much... XD
Yasu and I will be around for as long as we can to make sure things run smoothly.
Note: Everything is run from the main Ay vs. Ara page, so that's where you will go to see what item you need, for turn-ins, tc.
(By the way, we've linked the Ay vs. Ara page and the Pumpkin Patch in the navigation under the Community tab. Enjoy!)

Love the sound of this, but quick question are we still gonna have a Vamp V Zombie event or has that been 86ed this year? I know it and Paleo day were mentioned a while back, but we never saw them so just wondering as the VvZ events has had this type of thing in the past the 'turn in this item fer points' thing that is...

Ay vs. Ara is a special edition V vs. Z for this year, so it's replacing it this time around. We'll still have Paleo Day though. - Eri

Skiffy :) just wondered cause I started hoarding items after the VvZ event was mentioned and I wondered if I would be 'safe' to clean out my inventory the rest of the way after Ay v Ara or if we had a second event coming heh.. so many items must trash some somehow hehehe

D'aww, I wish the rarity went a little beyond r40. Regardless, I am excited for this!
