Custom Companion Raffle & Auction!
Yes, Alacrites, they're finally back! From now on, we'll be running raffles and auctions for Custom Companions on a more regular basis!
This month, our $USD Auction artist is Xylax!
And our Raffle artist is Rixon!
Be sure to take a look at the newly revised Custom Companion info page for more details about how this will work and what you'll need to do. We're handling things a little differently, but all in all it should still be pretty easy!
Due to some complaints/accusations in the past about staff members occasionally winning these sorts of things due to some unfair advantage (untrue, but still caused some unrest amongst our players), we are presently barring all staff members from participation in the raffle. This may change in the future, but for now this is how it's going to be. Sorry staffers! :C You can still participate in the USD Auction!
Whoever wins the Raffle will get to pick one effect from the Standard tier, and the $USD winner can pick from both Standard and Ultra tiers. Again, be sure to read over the whole page for Custom Companions, as well as the Raffle info and rules before you start asking questions. :)
To buy tickets for the Raffle, go here!
To bid on the $USD Auction, go here!
Have a great time, and good luck to you all! :D
EDIT: Staff members may now participate in the USD Auction.

Alacrity Valentine`s Contest
Hello Alacrity!
We're excited to announce that we're having a site-wide contest just in time for Valentine's Day! You can enter in only one of two areas: Art or Poetry. Both will deal with the theme of "A Valentine for Alacrity".
Art: Any visual art relating to the theme can be posted. It must be your own art, but beyond that, be as creative as you can think!
Poetry: You don't need to rhyme or have a meter. Just stick to the theme and you can write whatever comes naturally to you.
All posts must be made to This Thread by 11:59 Ala time on 14 February 2013. Anything later will be disqualified.
There will be four winners for each category, one each chosen by a site staff group. The prizes will be as follows:
Moderators: Magical Dog Whistle
Helpers: The Professor Plush
Artists: Custom Accessory Maker
Admins: Magical Lifelong Locket
And to prove that anyone has the talent for this - in case you feel intimidated about entering your own - here is my own attempt at both:
Aussies are Red
Pit Bulls are Blue
It's Singles Awareness Day
At least I have my Shiba Inu

Custom Content Moderation
There's a new poll everyone should take a look at! We value everyone's vote, and encourage you all to participate. :}
While I will still be discussing this issue with the admin team, I want to hear what our community has to say. When we first added Custom Accessory Makers, back when we were under the first owner, the policy was more or less a free-for-all, which has made it incredibly difficult to moderate this content and make sure everyone is following guidelines/rules. Not to mention, it can be quite a blow if you've submitted content and others have purchased copies from you of a Custom Accessory that does not meet those guidelines and have to be removed. :C
In light of the recent need to remove several custom items that were not aligned with our rules, and an initial voice of support for future custom content to be moderated and approved before allowing it on the site, I do feel our current policy should change. This will make it easier on everyone involved, in my opinion.
So let me know your opinions, concerns, etc.! And don't forget to vote on the poll! :D

I was referring to the V-day contest & raffle :> Staff is allowed to do USD raffle, but I still find it unfair how we cant do the v-day contest or $$ raffle.
