Story Contest Winners

We had so many stories to read, and you guys are so inventive! We had to narrow it down a bit, and it was hard to choose winners, but here they are! You can read their stories on the Spooky Tails submission post, as well as all of the other awesome stories!

1St Place: Crevan (#44)

2nd Place: Stacy (#101)

3rd Place: A TIE! 8O The following users tied for third place! We just couldn't make one an honorable mention here!
Jackdaw (#12605) and Roo (#8507)!



We had some fierce competition this Ala-Ween, and it was tough judging, but I know you guys can do better next time, and I'm expecting a lot more entries in both kinds of competitions! You guys are great, as always, and I want to thank you so very much for being patient!


I will be contacting the winners of the contests about their prizes shortly! :D

Long overdue and past, I've programmed the pup predictor to allow you to click on the image to view a popup adult version as was promised forever ago with the breeder perk. Sorry it took so long!

Trainer perk now has a special box below regular training on dog pages to allow you to use set numbers of training sessions at once to make training much less painful. :P All the kinks are finally worked out for those of you who have been wary of using it lol. Please report if you have a dog who's TP is higher than capped in a subject, if you do not report it will be caught and you will be punished. It'll simply be reset to max.

This month's companions have been fixed, Rejuvenators should be working again, and dogs should be aging/getting energy/health correctly again as well.. yay! Don't tell Kaeli I made this news post because otherwise she'll be mad she didn't get to spam us as usual. ;)

Gobble gobble, Alacrites! ;D

For one week, Alacrity is running a Thanksgiving event from today and through to actual Thanksgiving day! We have last year's items (by Maggots #69) up in the Monthly Shop for purchase, and our wonderful Geist (#4246) has provided us with a gorgeous revamp of the old art for the Turkey companion, which will be an elusive Random Event! So keep your eyes peeled!

The art team has also provided brand new items for the season, which you will be allowed to give to one another as gifts! You will be allowed to give and receive just one gift per day, per account, so make sure to spread the spirit of giving around to your fellow players!

Turkey Platter (Deranged Hyena)
Turkey Dye (Nyctra - also available in Dyes 4 Dogs!)
Turkey Wings (Kittybot)
Autumn Background (Xylax)
Golden Fallen Leaves (Drawn by Maggots, recolored by Carnivale)
Golden Falling Leaves (Drawn by Maggots, recolored by Carnivale)
Cornucopia (Carnivale)
Scarecrow (Moriarty)

However, if you're trading gifts with one another, please refrain from doing these trades in Chat A, and take such interactions to Sales Chat or via private messages, to avoid spamming up normal conversations. <3


We hope you all enjoy the event! :D
