Hello All!
Part of this News Post is to remind you that you have ONE more day to get in your submissions to the Alacrity Mascot Contest!
Some players thought this meant they had to submit a dog, this is not true, we only wish to have the dog design that you created. So the image of the dog and the markings for the dog need to be submitted to the Admin Issue Hub, you don't need to spend any money creating a dog for this!
If you cannot design, like me, we want names for the Mascot Dog! Again, to the admin hub with those!
Please remember that all names and dog designs must be kept private, both in the issue hub and on Alacrity. This is to prevent cheating in voting later. We will disqualify designs or names that are shared.
Due to lack of submissions for some breeds, we are altering the way we're doing the competition. Unfortunately some breeds have one entry that they would win the breed section by default, which made us realize the way we had planned will not work. Instead the site staff will pick anonymously the finalists, which will be then voted on by the entire site. This means that some breeds may not make it in, but we can guarantee from what we've seen so far, the mascot will be a truly unique and amazing dog!

In site wide exciting news:
We now have kennel icons next to pregnant dogs, thanks to Khaan #1161 for the image and our Coder for making this happen! The itty bitty stork will let you know your dog has a litter on the way.

Where do you enter your mascot entry?

I think there should have been a site poll before the competition to see which breed people want the most as the mascot and then submit designs of ONLY that one breed. It's too late now but that was just an idea so people aren't only voting on what breed they like.. =)
