Site Update
The Mystery Box has popped open as we've started gearing up to commission hundreds of custom pets for Black Friday!
If you're not familiar with the Mystery Box, you place a ticket inside to get a random prize. You get one free ticket for every purchase of $5 in GP or USD Items.
The question is, what custom pets should we offer for the Black Friday bonuses this year? Do you want Teos like last year, or would you rather see a slew of Fauxes? Leave your vote!
Mystery Box Tickets leave on 11:59 PM on the 20th.
In case you didn't see the message on the Purchase GP Page, if you purchase USD items, be sure to send a message to #15 with the total amount to redeem tickets!
Interested in making customs for Black Friday? Black Friday customs are usually about 75% edited. They pay $50 upfront for a set of 5 colorations on the base, and come with a $100 bonus if the set sells out during Black Friday (or a lesser bonus if they sell out after Black Friday).
Want to apply to make Black Friday customs? Send #15 a message with an example of your custom designs (GCC preferred). If you've worked on customs for previous sales, mention that too! :)
Note: Customs will not be obtained through bonus credit due to it not working out in the previous time. They will obtained as a reward for spending during the sale, specifically.

Because that's how it had been presented before... I mean it's really disappointing to have been saving bonus credit for months now to be told oh yeah, you can't use it for the Teos sorry... when I would probably have saved my money or spent it on other things than saving it up... after wasting $200 worth of credits on a special delivery that won't even sell for 50 gp they need to do something with bonus credit to make it worth while as not every one is interested in the SSC bases that are avalable with the delivery package.

I would love for there to be more types of rewards introduced for bonus credit, because the SCC item just isn't worth it. I look forward to seeing what the breeding season may bring! (Though it would still be awesome to have some kind of special bonus item(s) offered during Black Friday itself, even if it's not Teo/Faux.)

Well here's the deal, to get credit teos, you'd need to have a limit on when you could get them and how often. To not bankrupt the site they need to be redeemable:
A) only on the 2nd day or after.
B) one every few hours.
In my opinion there should be a C: only up to twork from the same set. But that's for fairness and not for saving money.
But! This was suggested during the last debacle and guess what? people whiiiiiined about how they should be able to buy whatever and wherever they wanted. So this is what happens instead. Poor people who relied on credit get nothing, people who abused the system are mildly inconvenienced, and the site finally makes money on the day when businesses are supposed to have a windfall.

Given what happened last time with the teos I'm not surprised they aren't being released for bonus credit, that's a-okay with me. But like a lot of the other commenters here, I also have no interest in the special delivery SCCs. Definitely hoping for some different rewards coming up.

As much as I'd love to be able to use the bonus credit on teos, I definately understand why it can't be used on black friday this time around. After the mess it caused last year I automatically assumed they wouldn't be doing it that way again. I'll just wait for some new bonus rewards :)

Even though i see why it happened I can see why some people may be upset since they may have spent the money threw the year to have the credits for the teos since not everyone has money during the holiday season. I just hope the site can put some worth wile items in the bonus section to let people spend their bonus money and feel it at least somewhat make up for the loss of teos since I had a LOT of bonus credit saved up to gift teos to some close friends for the holidays.

Aw I was looking forward to getting to use my bonus for teo eggs but I guess unless I spend more money, I can't use the bonus I have accumulated...I was excited to finally be able to get a teo on one of the first few days of the event because I got a good amount of bonus but I guess not... It makes sense though...with that thing that happened that I can't quite remember the specific details so I will just leave my statement very vague. Maybe I will get some amazon cards for holidays and then I will be able to get something for Aymas, but I don't know about black friday...

Considering what happend last time with bonus+Teo I'm really surprised to see that people actually expected that to be a thing again.....
