Site Update
Greetings and salutations children of Aywas! The staff has asked me to pass on their sincere apologies for the Valentine’s shop being so delayed. We have a lot of updates for you tonight, so please make sure you read the entire post!
Without further ado, I give you my pride and joy, the Valentine’s Seasonal Shop!
We have a new site background for you; here’s a small preview of the design. This will be available with a full repeat of the background, or just a top repeat where it only goes across the top of the screen.
There's the normal array of energy items, battle items and fauna, as well as the Moon Balloon HA item. The Love Food Basket is a regenerating item that regens once a week and gives you a random "love" food item. You'll also notice some returning favorites, such as the LP #9 custom creator and Love Story breeding add-on.
We also have a small selection of Valentine's themed pets.
We also have 3 lovely new designs available for the Love Potion #9!
The shop will be closing in one week, on Saturday March 24th at 11:59pm AST!
Onto some exciting news on behalf of Kita and myself!
We both know that we don't have the time to dedicate to the queues as well as our other site responsibilities, so we have decided to pass our queues onto other helpers! You can view who controls which queues now via This new KB Article. Please only contact them for new issues, any old issues that you have contacted Kita or myself with will continue with us unless you are told otherwise.
HB/EBC/HBC - Creek (#10084)
LBC/Rusted/Holiday Mistletoe - SG (#36207)
Scribble/Smudged Scribble - Juke (#7625)
Half LBC/HBC/BC - Kita (#3988)
MBC/RBC/Derp - Chelle (#7310)
SBC - Thalsha (#7935)
PLBC/PMBC - Revie (#35743)
Blind Date/Eggnog/Mininog - Allysun (#317)
Grand Edit Potion/Alidae Egg/Transitional Fossil Egg/Dragon Lotus/Neura Embryo - Aros (#4353)
PBC remains with Vampi (#12221) and Speedy Dating Slip remains with Kaiyo (#489)
We know that this is a fairly large change, and we hope that it will improve the turn around for certain queues. Please keep in mind that some queues will still remain slow due to lack of artists, but several of the queues should be able to go faster with this update.
Please make sure you turn in any PSDs you'd like to submit for Dani's tribute by March 31st at 11:59pm AST.
A small note on Site Elf applications. You may now apply if you have DNCs against you! If you have DNCs against someone else, you will have to remove them to apply. We hope this change allows people who wanted to apply but couldn't, because of DNCs, to apply. Please keep in mind the DNC's and any past behavior will still weigh against your application, but we understand that people can grow and mature, so we no longer want to permanently block out everyone.
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN....MAYDAY!
A change from previous years is that this year you will PM Marjo (#5741) NOT KAIYO with your sketches for approval.
All PNGs are due by May 25th at 11:59pm AST and PSDs must be uploaded by May 29th at 11:59pm AST. See the times below for how egg claiming and credit will work.
May Day will run from May 31st - June 3rd, with June 4th being the normal credit day.
USD Mayday credit and egg claim begins 11:00pm May 31st AST
Teo box opens for claim 12:00am AST April 1st (1 minute after 11:59pm May 31st AST)
- We are allowing Teos, Snoodles, Faux, and Oët!
-We are allowing very few silvers! I will not be accepting a dozen Teos that only have the tails left.
-The sets should be between 50%-75%. If your set is spectacular I will accept less edits.
-You must PM Marjo with a sketch for the Teo Team to approve! If you send her a finished product without doing this first, we do not have to accept it. If you make more sets than the ones we approve you to do, we do not have to accept them. (this includes if you have already PM'd me!)
-You must also send Marjo examples of your shading and coloring, and if you have done any previous sets.
-All sets must be finished and the PSDs uploaded by May 25th.
-A set is 5 custom pets with identical edits, all colored uniquely. Then you are also permitted 1 unique that you can turn in at that time or at a later date.
-All applications must be PM'd to Marjo with the Subject line: Mayday 2018 - [email protected] Of course replace the e-mail with your PayPal.
We are offering more payment options this year, so please read very closely! You can choose one of the following per set! So if you do multiple sets, you can mix and match!
- $50 Paid after May Day
- 100gp + 5 SP Paid once the set is finished
- No base pay, however you are granted a 75% completely unique of any of the species creatable this May Day. (You are welcome to sell this slot as well)
- 1 May Day Egg for the $50 Day. If you do two sets, then you can trade both payments in for 1 May Day egg for the first day!
All payment options still get the 30% extra edited unique, as well as are eligible for sell out bonus.
The sell out bonus will work the same as it has been. Should your set sell out on Day 1 you get $75, Day 2 is $50 and Day 3 is $25.
This is also your Official Reminder to collect any and all PSDs from The Last Teo Sale, because once we start uploading PSDs, these will go away! So collect them again just to be safe!

Glad to see things are working out, at least a little bit. Hopefully turning over the lists will help get things through a little quicker and easier, and restore a bit of the site's faith in breeding. As it is, I know I just had a couple BCs assigned that have been in queue for over a year. That's a bit of an absurd wait, if you ask me. I'm willing to bet part of that is lack of artists, but hopefully this will help a bit.
Glad to see the Valentine's Shop, finally, heheh. Minorly disappointed there's no HA items, but there's plenty of things I wouldn't normally be interested in but am, like a Fauna that's just so freaking cute, the Love Letter Moth. The new site themes are a neat idea, Bottled Confidence is a fun idea, the Heart Charkam is going STRAIGHT to my gallery along with the Moth, I have a reason to get Love Potion #9s with those new lines, and Valentine's edit packs are also very nice to be able to get.

"Teo box opens for claim 12:00am AST April 1st (1 minute after 11:59pm May 31st AST)"
Is that supposed to say "March 31st"?

Thanks for the reply before Kaiyo! ... I unfortunately have another (more nubby) question though.
So this is basically my first mayday and I am totally thinking of submitting sets. But I'd like a little clarification on this:
"All payment options still get the 30% extra edited unique, as well as are eligible for sell out bonus."
So the 30% extra edited unique ... is that of the sets that we've made? Like, say if I make a
teo set, would I get a 30% extra edited unique for that set? Or is that a completely different 30% edited teo?

Did anyone else spot the "Add to Swarm" or something that was with the Love Letter Moths..? WHat's that about? Because I can tell you, my active pet's name is not Swarm, haha.

I'm curious to see what this Frenzy thing is. I just saw it listed on one of the fauna pets since I was putting it in my deposit box and it was the first option.

Congrats to everyone who got list promotions! Also can't wait to slap a new design on that dosk base <3 <3

A little sad there won't be any rare items as the Valentine shop was one of the only ways to get Antiquity staves but can use the extra points to buy more alcohol. Can never have too much of that.
