.:Winter's Approaching!:.

Postby Kyrit » 11/22/2010 12:26 PM

Hey guys. It's almost that time of year again. I wanted to get a jump start on this and tell you to work on updating those wishlists! The Wish-A-Thon has become something of tradition around here, and just because Baal doesn't work on the forums any more(or rather, does a lot less on the forums. If you haven't noticed by now she is still doing a few surprise treats here and there) doesn't mean that this is going to be a blue Christmas! Seasonal Specialties may be closing their doors soon, but expect to see them opening back up rather quickly. We mods are already getting in to the holiday spirit and working to provide you with plenty of holiday cheer throughout the month of December.

But before all of that.... All those Turkezilla sure do seem to be getting pretty restless. I sure hope everyone is ready to hide inside on Thursday.

I won't hide! I've got a werecain to protect me! And a very BIG stick. *waves stick* So explain this Wish-A-Thon thing please. I wasn't on during the last one.

The one from last year can be found here. Basically just make sure your wishlist is nice and up to date and if you're an active member you might find yourself being given something off your wishlist by the staff. =)

This sounds like so much fun! I've been trying to get my plots up and running, so I should be super-active now! (Gotta make some major KS for those Seasonal Specialties you were talking about! ^u^)

A question regarding the Wish-A-Thon: What are the limits for this year's wishes? Last year, Baal said we could wish for anything, including breeding rooms and customs. I have the problem that all my wishes are customs and I suppose you and Shrewd probably won't fulfill those, right? I kinda need to know because otherwise, I have the problem of coming up with something else for my wishlist, haha. D8



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

We can fulfill wishes, yes. So long as we have the PSD for those pets(No Lucain, Paragon, Khimera, Khalmar, or otherwise marked as un-customizable) we can do it.

Haha, I just kinda thought you guys would be too busy to do customs for the Wish-A-Thon. o3o; But if you will, that's super-awesome! Yay! :yay:

Depending on my mood, personally, I might avoid customs (maybe cause I'm just an awful lazy jerk), since we're probably going to be rushing to get everything done on time, including making the giftboxes and the pets for them, along with our coming event for Thanks For Life Day (whoopsie, spoilerz?).

But we can do customs. We just... might not do them often. The Wish-A-Thon (to me) is more about getting what you desire rather than "Oh hai look fancy cuztom! :U". S'the thought that counts, kinda thing. :] I mean, you might be dying to just get something "not special" like... I dunno, a Common Mr. Wilson, and it would even make you happier than getting a custom. So marking what you want the most is also important for your Wishlist. In any case, it helps me choose.

And you can even ask for giftboxes, too, along with KS and breeding rooms. The only things you can't ask for are impossible stuff, like getting your fantasy creature accepted as a new Evelon pet, or something to that effect. Cause obviously... yeah. x3

It's pretty open (considering it's for wishes), so long as we can grant them.

Thanks for the answer, Shrewd. o3o It's just that with my fixation on the Fellox species, I have no interest in other pets besides them except maybe Lucain and Paragon, but since they are off-limits, there is nothing left. But I understand completely if you guys aren't in the mood for customs, seeing as you have all that other work you're already doing for Evelon. o3o So I suppose I should probably think about some other pets to put on my wishlist or some KS or indeed giftboxes. Or something. 8D

I'm keeping my wishlist nice and updated. :angry: *determined face*

I'm just kidding. :yay: Woo, Christmas is coming! I love it when the carolers come around in my neighborhood--we live nearish to a church, and the choir there sings lovely christmas music. They're so sweet, walking around in the cold to give the huge amount of seniors in the area a little christmas cheer. I'm planning to make something edible they can carry around with them to keep warm. I was thinking coffee or hot cocoa, but I don't have enough coffee beans or chocolate syrup for them all. And eating cookies with mittens is just messy.

On Topic: I'm waiting to see what wishes are granted this year. The ones last year were all so various!

My wraiths, though not wraiths then, wandered deep into the heart of the polar storm. They tried to fight sleep, naive to the inevitability of their fate. When they awoke, they saw before them my own self, so much a part of the ice and cold they almost fail to see me. I wear a crown of the coldest, sturdiest ice, and my claws and fur have coated themselves in it.
I stand aloof to the cold, for I have lived in it so long, been a part of it so long, it no longer concerns me.

My wraiths are cursed to wander the polar tundra, eternally freezing, following mortal explorers and trying to warn them with their presence that they should not travel onward, should not make the same mistake. But there will always be those who persist in pressing on, never knowing what they are doomed to face, or destined to suffer.

Yay! I wasn't here that long enough to get any wishes because I had none.

There's a hate inside of me like some kind of master
I try to save you but I can't find the answer
I'm holding onto you, I'll never let go
I need with you with me as I enter the shadows

Caught in the darkness I go blind
But can you help me find my way out?
Nobody hears me, I suffer the silence.
Can you tell me it's over now?
