Happy October, Alacrites!

I sincerely apologize for the delay in this news post; your dear Kaeli has been on vacation in sweltering Arizona and got a little delayed returning home. Boy, after the heat of the desert, I am sure excited to cool off with these amazing Ice Age monthly items!

First things first, let's discuss the new donation items :D
The Time Rewinder is a brand new accessory that will make your dog two months younger each time you equip it! Woah, before you go rushing off to use this awesome new item, please note that you can only use this item once per day per dog and only up to five times per day (on five different dogs). We're working out some final kinks in the code currently, but as soon as they've been ironed out, I will switch out the donation items and you'll be able to earn one of these awesome prizes with a Bone purchase of $35 or more!

The Magical Wooden Flute is this month's bundle item. For each $65 Bone purchase you will earn this item (as well as a Time Rewinder!). If you let your dog play a little tune into the flute, one copy of the Ice Age monthly items, backgrounds, and companions will appear in your inventory!

Note: As soon as you see these new items featured on the Buy Bones page, it is safe to make your purchase. Until then, know that you will be getting last month's donation items!

Companion Effects!
Ice Age Companions all have the awesome effect of freezing your dog mid-stride! This means they will not age, nor will they gain hunger, energy, health, etc., while this companion is equipped. There is no limit to the number of times you can equip/unequip these chilly babies to your dogs each day!

Don't forget that Halloween is right around the corner!
This means you can expect to see some beautiful and spooky new items coming later in the month. Additionally, we will be re-inventing some of the great games we played last year, so definitely keep checking back! As a note; we will not be re-issuing any Halloween items that were released in 2010 (Alacrity's first Halloween), so your Haunted Hills, Hellhound Masks, Ghost Costumes, Black Widow Spiders, etc. are going to remain rare!

And, finally, let's introduce you all to the wonderful artists which created this month's beautiful artwork. Be sure to stop on by their profiles and let them know how much you appreciate your favorite item this month!

And the winner is...

Uh oh! It's a tie of 413 votes each!

Well, Alacrites, you've all spoken, and honestly we hadn't planned on this sort of outcome! There will be no silly recounting of votes or re-polling (though we may double check for any fraudulent votes, just in case), but a new poll is up to see how you think we should handle this. In the end, the staff will talk it over and take your votes into consideration to figure out what's best to do.

But in the meantime, thank you all for voting! No matter which breed is officially added, I think both can be considered excellent candidates for Alacrity! :D

Kaeli will have a spiffy news post to list more info about our new Ice Age monthly shop theme, as well as handle swapping out our new donation items, so sit tight and keep your eyes peeled!

I think it's kinda funny that a baseless rumor someone started about the staff rigging the results 3 polls ago is still going so strong. The staff, being players themselves and all having the ability to vote, are just as divided as everyone else.

I do agree, however, that having the staff vote would be a terrible way to decide - even if it wouldn't result in just about equal support for each - because this decision belongs to all of us. I would prefer to see both breeds up in the near future, but obviously that takes a lot of work to do and even more to do well - and I'm certain we'd all be immensely disappointed if it wasn't done to the incredible standards we have come to expect from our talented art team.
