Site Update
It is the time of the year that I know all of you have been waiting for! So try to hold your excitement at least until you finish reading!
Let's start with something a little slower paced, the new GP/BP shop pets!
It's a Maki takeover! As delicious as some of these pets look, remember that pets are friends, not food!
If you colored one of these pets, please contact Kousei (#25044) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-October) so we have time to snag 'em!
The GP Shop has seen a newcomer, the Essence of October 2016, in honor of Hephaestus!
The Premium Item is the Pumpkin Pack! It is full of a variety of fun pumpkins for the season, including and introducing the newest: Screaming Pumpkin!
These Screaming Pumpkins are great for sharing a bit of holiday fear by throwing them at your friends faces! In true Halloween spirit! Or something.. please don't actually hit anyone in the face! If you do, I'm not responsible!
Our Birthday Lunaris is, unfortunately, running late! We think the Halloween decorations may have scared him away. We sent out a search party to try to find him, once we locate 'em we will let you know!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! The Birthday thread is in the process of being relocated, once we have more information on this there will be a news post.
The new monthly contests have been announced!

A monthly update from behind the scenes!
The horned lunaris laughs, "You were expecting some updates? Ha! Not this month, too many spoilers~" Greta leaps into the sky and vanishes before you.
This month's Jeweled Bases are created by Danny (#2511)
We have a brand new Rock Custom Crystal base that seems to be haunting Aywas!
The long awaited Rare Jeweled Stave has finally found its way into the USD Shop! So sorry that this has taken so long! You can use this Rare Stave to make any of the previous Jeweled Rare species!
This is your 24 hour warning that the Vion Planter will make its way into the GP shop! It will only be in there for 1 day, so get those Gold Paws ready!
That is it for the news post for this month! See you all next month!

You're still here, is there something else you were expecting? Perhaps... a few spooks~?
I think I might be able to oblige with that! How about.... a Pumpkin Patch? Will that suffice for your Halloween needs? For those of you who are new, you can deposit items r30+ or pets into the pumpkins and then withdraw a pumpkin in return! You can only withdraw a Pumpkin every 10 minutes, but you can deposit as many as you want. We have tested the HTML thoroughly and links and images should all work! However, please don't add anything too large, and please remember that the pumpkins are still monitored! Should you open a pumpkin that you feel violates the ToS please report it to a moderator!
If you are feeling a little braver than frolicking through a pumpkin patch, you can try to brave Minerva's Garden! It seems to have grown quite a bit this year, and a few older plants have popped up! I'm really not sure what type of magic she's using to do that, and I don't think I want to know... We have made a small change to the garden; Now, when you try to steal your plant, it automatically refreshes the page and gives you a timer until the next time you can try!
I have one more special treat for you, or is it... a trick~? Some of you may have noticed the fun banner on the left side of your screen.. That is right, Trick or Treat has returned! It has had a bit of a facelift, so I'll give you a little refresher course.
You head on over to the Who's Online page, and you can knock on anyone's door who is online! The person then has 15 minutes to answer the door and choose to trick or treat you! If you get a treat, you receive a candy, if you get tricked... well you might notice something floating around. While you are Trick or Treating you may run into some others, this can either have no effect, add more candy to your bag, or they might take some.
Keep an eye on that banner, when someone knocks it'll do a little wiggle and the counter will update! Click the number to be taken to your door.
If you find your way to the main Halloween Page, you will notice a few other links there, those will be coming shortly. We are staggering the event release due to how massive this year's celebrations will be!
Edit
Q&A:
Question: Is that banner on the left my candy?
Answer: No! That is the people waiting for you to open your door and respond to your request! You have 15 minutes after they knock to respond!
Question: So where can I see how much candy I have?
Answer: You can't. I know, I'm a big meanie for this one. We are finalizing a *huge* update, and once that update is finished you will be able to see your candy.
Question: So what is the candy for...?
Answer: It will have it's own shop full of different things, so collect all the candy!
Question: Does tricking *take* candy?
Answer: No! The only way to lose candy is if an NPC shows up and steals it from you. Tricking will reward you with a different prize that you have to catch.
Question: I can knock on my own door, is this okay?
Answer: Well I don't know about you, but I know when I wait for Trick or Treaters I eat my own candy.
Question: Why do the Ghosts disappear when I click them?
Answer: You successfully tamed the Ghost and it has moved into your inventory!

Guys, it would be great if people could stop being so annoyed at people who knock when you've got something in your username about not knocking. I've got terrible eyes, need new glasses, and can't afford new ones atm. I'm playing on my phone. If I try to read every single name I click on I will literally be blind after 15 minutes. This is an event I'd dearly love to participate in, but lots of small, repetitive work is required to do so. I'd really like to not put my eyes and head in jeapordy to do this. So a little compassion and understanding would be really nice. I totally understand that the jiggle can be disruptive and I agree that you should be able to turn it off somehow. If it bothers you (and they don't make the wiggle turn-offable) just use Adblock plus to block the image, or put a post it over that part of your screen.
I'm wicked sorry to be annoying people with knocks, but some of us really can't help it. Y_Y

Lost 95 candies to Aketch. All I can think of is how sad it is that users spent their BP treating me and this jerk took it. :( That's 95k of strangers' money. It just makes me really sad.
I mean, sure, it's also frustrating to lose an hour of clicking, but mostly I'm sad. I think I'm gonna drop this event for a while.

Ok I can't get past 300 candies. Anytime I get more I get that Aketch 2 or 3 times in row. I'm about to give this up big time because I end up with less every hour than what I started with. Won't be giving anything out either because why waste my money.

I also would like to complain about the NPC that steals candy. I'm sitting in the same boat as Errantmisty (#51563) and am unable to progress because 'm getting my candy stolen at an incredible rate. I've got more Ghost Poop than candies now.

Thanks to all those who are making this a fun collection game. Treats for all. And if you don't want to participate or be kind then please let us know and we won't knock. (Is that a strange request...?)
Posted on: Sun Oct 2, 2016 6:19pm
I am literally TRYING to get Aketch right now, but only on IDs without a 4 so we can debunk that theory. :P No luck so far...
