Good day, Alacrites!
Just a couple quick reminders for you!
Newbie Helper Open Applications are closing today, likely in a few short hours, so please remember to put in your application if you are interested in becoming a Newbie Helper! Details on the application process can be found HERE
There are only a couple days left to buy your raffle tickets! Don't let this chance pass you up -- click on the ticket above to go to the raffle page to learn more about what you can win.
Please take a moment to weigh in on the new poll.
This one is important and will affect game play, so make sure that your voice is heard! The current trial system is a little bit broken; massive amounts of money are being introduced into the game and causing the entire economy to destabalize. In order to get inflation back under control, we need to somehow decrease the amount of cash being introduced into the game and the best way to do this is to tweak trial payouts. We know this will affect a lot of your bottom lines, but please understand that this is for the good of the players at large.
The new poll offers options for which we can limit the amount of cash being brought into game play. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to voice that as well. We have set up a thread to discuss to ramifications of these options, voice your opinions about the potential effectiveness of the options given, show support or disagreement with any/all of these options, and to give us ideas we had maybe not thought about. You can find that thread HERE
Please take a moment to read through the thread before voting so that your opinion is as educated as it can be!
Also, please note that Magical Food Bowls will be removed from the Cash Boutique shop at some point today. These will go on rotation in the monthly shop as a rare item. If you wish to purchase any today, please do so quickly :)

Mimi, I agree there is usually a limit of trials that can be entered, but why not just ask your fellow Ala's to put some up? They are usually more then happy to do it, mostly because they know they may need some one day, and because they are nice. I understand your opinion, but in all reality, people will not put in dogs just to give other people a chance, and reducing the amount a person can put in a trail, reduces the amount of people trialing. Is this really good for ala?

But still, any time I trial with my foundies or customs, I don't stand a chance. It would be a total waste of money against a maxed capped dog. May as well not trial period. e.e

I voted for 1, but I have a few reasons for this. I think this would also solve the problem of the trials disappearing so fast. I haven't been on as much lately, but I've seen it where there's been almost no trials to be had because people have come in (me included) and swept them. So yeah, it might be that people with higher stat and capped dogs have to wait a bit, but they can always trial team a different way -- Put a high stat and a low stat in so that someone else will have a chance. Spread the wealth around and let the economy balance itself a bit.

Raffle Page is Live :D
Posted byKaelizilla (#5) on Jan 18, 2012
Good afternoon!
We are pleased to announce that the raffle is now live and tickets are ready for the taking! A minor amendment to the previous instructions; tickets are located on the Raffle Page, where you can also view how many tickets are live on the site and how many you already have! You may also view the full list of prizes on the raffle page -- there are 12 prize packs in all (one for each year of the Chinese Zodiac)!
Go forth and buy tickets!
Another couple updates:
• Adverts now have a preview option before they are posted. Here, you can make sure any formatting you've done is correct and that your ad looks the way you want it to. Once you've verified your ad is the way you want it, you can post it!
• Newbie Helper Applicants are open. You can find details on this in the Newbie Helper Open Applications Thread.
• In case you missed the below news post, the backslash problem has been fixed! You can clear up backslashes that were appearing in dog names, forum posts, on your profile, etc by editing them out.
• There has been recent confusion about using the refresh function to search for Random Events. Please note that excessive use of refresh by way of manual F5 manipulation or by program/bot is considered an exploit and is cheating. It is extremely obvious when this happens and we will be keeping an eye out for it, so please keep it honest :)
Have fun and good luck!

Hmmm... I guess I will hsve to pray and hope the DSi doesn't act up as much. It usually doesn't load the full page/dog image and I usually want to look at it if someone posts it in chat. Kinda makes me sad how I probably won't ever be able to see what some else's dog looks like. :(

I thought I would get in trouble for refreshing the puppy predictor. Putting something hard on the F5 key is outrageous. I've put a book on my computer once and all it did was make my screen glitchy with colors and it said ala was a glitch! *gasp* (i had the book their because it had no other place to be) Why would someone even try to do that, your f5 key can break. Besides, my pitbull Tillie broke mine off with her teeth mistaking it for a cookie XD

So easy.
