Good morning!

The points shop was supposed to close last night at midnight, but I think I confused to shop keeper because he's decided to keep it open a bit longer. Please make sure to get your last minute points purchases in, for I will be asking Cupid to shut it down in just a few minutes.

Don't forget to open your remaining gifts, either! Once the shop closes, you will no longer be able to collect your presents.

We are also very pleased to announce some winners for our Poetry and Art contests! There were some really great entries and choosing winners was very difficult for us. We loved seeing all of your entries!

Let's start with poetry!

Our first place winner was Lokabrenna with this delightfully creative poem entitled "Love Conquers All Obstacles":

My heart (jumps) quickly when I spy
a captivating (dog walk) by.
Oh, Cupid, did you (chute) that arrow?
This (tunnel) vision is so narrow.
I (teeter totter) to my feet
and, bounding (tire)less and fleet,
I find (a-frame) of mind called love.
But (pause! Table), rose— are these enough?
I’d (weave pole) to pole, and cross the sea
to spend Valentine’s Day on (Alacrity).
Second place goes to Grumpasaurus Rex for "Cupid's Playtime", located on Page 2 of the contest thread.
Third place goes to Haiden for "The Wait", located on Page 3 of the contest thread.
We also wanted to give honorable mention to IsmaielDeath(Moon) for "The Valentine's Gift", located on Page 1 of the contest thread.

Great job, everyone, on the beautiful poetry written for this contest!

Next, onto the art!

The Riddler

... has put a new riddle up for you to ponder over! Can you beat him?

Good Afternoon!

Today will mark the last day of Gift Giving, so make sure to get all of your last minute packages sent off to the people on your list! You will be able to send buy tokens and send gifts up until Midnight tonight. Don't worry about staying up all night to open last minute gifts -- you will have a full 48 hours to open your presents. Make sure to open your presents before midnight on the 21st, or else Cupid will take them back and store them away for next year.

As you will no longer be able to acquire game points after midnight tonight, the point shop will also be closing at midnight on Tuesday night. Make sure to get your purchases in before then, else you'll lose them altogether!

I wasn't able to figure out a way to transfer points between your accounts and I apologize for that. To make up for it, we will be placing some lower point options in the shop for you to use up the last few points you may have on your accounts. These will be gift items, so nothing new, but fun all the same!


I also wanted to remind you all to vote in the poll, if you haven't already. You can find the discussion thread [HERE]. It helps to educate yourself about the options before casting your vote! We'll give you another few days to voice your opinion before we begin working on the changes!
