Many of our members are familiar with the wonderful Newbie Raffle, which was run by a few of our dedicated Newbie Helpers and supported by our entire site team along with many of our players. We are now happy to announce the raffle is becoming a site event with it’s own weekly update to let you know of our new players and raffle winners!

But this isn’t just for the newbies! To kick off the start of the site raffle, we are asking everyone on Alacrity to help design the mascot for it; The Professor! To find out more about this contest, it’s requirements and the prize, please check out our thread in the Contest Forum: Design the Alacrity Professor.

For our newbies who have not yet been able to participate in the raffle while it’s been down for changes, we invite them to participate in our one week dog giveaway. Anyone from user number #16508 and up is welcome to participate in The Newbie Dog Give-Away and enter to win a free maxed dog and a free background!

And lastly, for anyone on our site who has wanted to donate to the raffle and didn’t know how or didn’t know you could, we welcome you to check out The Temporary Newbie Raffle Donation Thread that will be running until we set up the official one. (You can also check out the soon to be CA plush of The Professor that will be sold in the Raffle’s Store!)

To find out more what the Raffle has in store for changes, feel free to check out our account, #-101 and visit all the dogs people have already donated to the raffle that we will soon be giving out to our newbies!

The Riddler

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

Can't use PayPal to get bones? Want to use your bank account or mobile phone to buy bones? What about that cash card you got from Walmart the other day?

Fret no more! You can now use Ala's new payment systems to purchase bones. You can even do offers to earn bones and still help out the site, and there are even free ones!

It is a new feature and while it has been tested and is under the "tentatively working" status, but keep in mind there is nothing Ala staff can do about not receiving bones, if you have problems simply contact Super Reward's ultra helpful customer service and they will help you out.
