Site Update
This round of Teos has something different from the previous two! In this round, you can participate in an auction for a "PSD Use" of your favorite line set. That way, if you missed out on a certain Teo set, you can give another shot at getting one!
Teo PSD Use Auctions!
The auctions are based on a tier system, where your auction reward increases based on the final bid:
$5 - $99 -- PSD Use of Teo. Send an admin the colored image and it will be uploaded over your "blank Teo."
$100 - $149 -- Comes with MDT Your Teo will come with an MDT so you can commission one of our MDT artists to color it.
$150 - $199 -- Skilled Teo! Your Teo will come with all Hidden Item adventure skills as well as the Lockpick skill.
$200 - $249 -- Breeding Pair! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, and two MDTs. Great for bidding with a friend!
$250+ -- Breeding Upgrade! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, two MDTs, and a Rare PMBC Pack. Great for bidding with a friend!
Note that these auctions DO NOT count toward Bonus Credit!
These auctions end in seven days, so have fun and enjoy them! Be nice and don't hurt each other over the Teos! ;)
And thank you for voting for us in the Chase grant contest! Keep voting -- there's no harm in having more than the minimum number of votes to qualify!
We have a very, very big change planned for June and we had hoped that this sale will help provide some "financial padding" for the change... we think you're going to like it, as it's been asked for for a while! Please purchase what you can so we can confidently give it a shot!
TO CLARIFY- These auctions are NOT to drive the new change. These auctions are intended to raise the $17,000 promised to the Teo artists if their sets sold on the first day (170 sets x $100 bonus). Because most people spent bonus credit saved up over months on the Teos instead of spending USD in the sale to get them, we are now severely in the hole again and will not be able to pay people anymore (programmers, artists, server, etc) if we cannot make this money to pay the artists. It was an oversight with the implementation bonus credit and will be rectified if we survive this mistake.

You know guys, I just really wanted to thank you for being so honest with what goes on with the site. I think if this situation were to happen at ost other businesses, there would be attempts to hush it up, hide it, either not pay the artist their bonuses, or just try and get more money another way. I think that you are willing to admit to your mistakes and explain the situation is really professional. There are always unforseen circumstances, and people saving up their bonus points to get eggs rather than purchasing more GP is something new the site has experienced. So way to go, guys.

Please forgive me for asking this but I am really having trouble understanding something.I decided to save my 87 bonus points and then add to it to make 100 a day or 2 before the teo event. Because of that I am in the wrong? I do not think that is entirely fair. Granted I was not here a lot of the time to use them but what are people supposed to do if they do not like the bonus item being offered at that time? Or they can't use it? I will stress I do not want to cause trouble I am not understanding the sentiment that people are expressing when they say the ones who held on to their bonus points are responsible. So please don't yell at me too much. Instead help me understand. Thank you.

If no one has suggested it yet, I think it would be neat if you added a few blank teo PSDs to the auctions for those who are interested in getting metal ones.

IJskoningin (#56630) - The issue is that so many people knew in advance of the sale, and instead of spending the points as soon as they got them, they were held onto. Normally they would have gotten spent fairly fast for most people. Then the USD auctions brought in a lot more bonus money, and the bonus money just went to huge amounts without ever being intended to be able to do that. No one is wrong for saving up the points, it's just something that was unforeen and caused an issue for paying for the art.

5.5 k
We still need 11k to break even. Can we donate previously made teos and other designs to this? PSD uses for SCC species? ANYTHING?

They need to average $85 per PSD in order to make $17,000 from the sale. That a little too optimistic but idk.
