Hi All,

Voting for the design is closed and now voting for the name is open. This will take place much like the design voting; we will have an initial vote and then a final vote from the top choices.

Before you run off to vote, please read the rules:

1) If you are the creator of one of our nominations, you can vote for your name.
2) Nobody can advertise or solicit votes for a certain name. That means please don’t advertise in chat, in forums, in the shout box. Do not pressure anyone to vote a certain way. If you’re worried about this rule, just keep your opinion on the names to yourself. :3
3) Be respectful of our top submissions, it's okay if you don't like them and you may say so, but remember that others do, so please do not make disparaging comments.
4) If the name is your submission and you solicit votes for it, we will disqualify your entry, which we do not want to do!
5) If you are the submitter of one of the names, please keep it to yourself. We want votes to be on personal like for the name, not for the namer.
6) Vote for the name you think suits him or her best. Gender will be decided by the final poll.

Our names are listed alphabetically, and with the submitter's comments if there were any given:

Alastair
Brio : vigor or vivacity of style or performance
Celerity : synonym for Alacrity
Sebastian
Spry : lively and agile
Velocity

Remember, this name is what you think suits this design best. Only you know what name speaks to you for a Sheltie Mascot!

The Riddler

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

Happy Easter, Alacrites!



After much deliberation, we have decided to retire the old Explore game (for now!), and are replacing it with a Backyard Dig! This game will be available from now on, any time we come up on a holiday, and the theme will change based on that holiday! :D The art was provided by our very talented Xylax. <3

You will get 5 turns per half-hour, which will cost your selected dog 5 energy per turn. Your dog will be digging for easter eggs! But not only that, there's a chance you just might find some other neat prizes, too! And the more easter eggs you find, the better, because with them you'll be able to purchase specialty items from the Easter Shop!

This event will run for one week only (April 7th), so make sure you use as many turns as you can! Any eggs you don't spend will be squirreled away until next year.



But that's not all! During this week, be sure to keep a lookout for the Easter Bunny! He could pop up anywhere, so the more time you spend on Alacrity, the bigger your chances are of finding him! :D

We hope everyone has lots of fun, and enjoys this year's new items as provided by the hard work of our art team!
