<hr /><h4 style="text-align:center;">September MONTHLY MADNESS</h4>
<p style="text-align:center;">This months theme is<strong> FALL FUN</strong>! Draw and/or write about your Spacecat doing fall activities! This prompt is more vague, so feel free to get creative!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The September monthly madness will last till <strong>September 30th</strong>!</p>
<hr /><h4 style="text-align:center;">CBC RULE UPDATE:</h4>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is just to clarify the CBC rules since we've seen some confusion about them!</p>
<ol><li style="text-align:left;">We dont have a rule against characters that are murderers/abusive characters being made into spacecats, so long as the abuse/murder isnt glorified - the only issue comes down to pedophiles and rapists.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Along with that, we don't have a series blacklist, however your design may be rejected if the series they're from is something morally reprehensible and/or has glaring issues with racism/homophobia/etc. </li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Characters cannot be a direct copy of their source material -  this isnt usually an issue when it comes to human -&gt; spacecat designs, but when it comes to characters that were already animals, you will need to make sure they have distinct traits/markings. This also goes for canon species (EX: pokemon, digimon, duel monsters) from now on as well to avoid having multiple designs that look incredibly similar.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The rule also applies to companion growth, however canon species (ex: pokemon, digimon, duel monsters) can be 1:1.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">You <strong>MUST</strong> tell us who your CBC is based off somewhere in your approval message; full character name and series. If this is repeatedly ignored and we find out, you will get a strike and potentially a ban from the species.</li>
</ol><hr /><h3 style="text-align:center;">Breedings update:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">With the rise of interest in breeding slots we've decided to implement a few things!</p>
<ol><li style="text-align:left;">We'll be splitting the breeding batches into 2 seperate sales, 2 fcfs slots, and 4-5 (depending on the month) raffle to pay slots.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Ontop of that we'll be opening guest artists slots just for breeding batches, this will be a seperate form for the regular guest artist application! fill that out here: <a href="https://forms.gle/MR2oWFSgjTKpVqR4A">https://forms.gle/MR2oWFSgjTKpVqR4A</a></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">There will now be a 1 month cooldown before you can claim another breeding slot! meaning if you claim a slot in one breeding month you cant claim one in the breeding month directly after it!</li>
</ol><hr /><h3 style="text-align:center;">Guest artist applications:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">We'll be having an event next month for Halloween so we need a few guest artists to help out with that! If you've previously filled out this form you dont need to fill it out again, however you can if youd like to update your examples youre free to! You'll be asked to make 1-2 designs</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">https://forms.gle/wEmnDKgco5qMCq4u9</p>
<hr /><h3 style="text-align:center;">MISc:</h3>
<ol><li>We now have a toyhou.se world! Feel free to join it here: <a href="https://toyhou.se/~world/114202.the-spacecat-station">https://toyhou.se/~world/114202.the-spacecat-station</a></li>
<li>There will be a batch of cloud coin adopts by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/yugioh" class="display-user" style="color: #A371D9;">yugioh</a> and <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/venti" class="display-user" style="color: #79BC7F;">venti</a> later this month!</li>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. This month is pretty busy, we hope you enjoy what we have in store for you!</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/small_rainbow.png" alt="" width="400" height="1" /></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><br />Halloween Event:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />Later on this month we’ll be hosting a halloween event!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />Participating in this event will allow you to earn special currency that you’ll be able to use to purchase items from the event shop that’ll open on November 1st!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br /><strong>The event will start on October 23rd and last until the 31st! More details will be available at the start of the event.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/small_rainbow.png" alt="" width="400" height="1" /><br />Changes to art redemption and daily rewards:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Starting this month, we’re adjusting how we handle both daily rewards and art redemption.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br /><strong>Daily Rewards:</strong> From now on this will be handed via an advent calendar instead of a prompt, to reach the daily rewards advent calendar you’ll have to click it via the quick links section of the navbar. You’ll be given the daily box item which you can then open in your inventory to receive your reward.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Art Redemption:</strong> You will no longer need to submit your art to a prompt, just the galleries. We’ve implemented the forum into the gallery submission itself. You should be able to use the checkboxes to select what size/finish/etc your piece is!</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/small_rainbow.png" alt="" width="400" height="1" /><br />OCTOBER MONTHLY MADNESS:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />This month’s theme is <strong>PUMPKIN CARVING!</strong> Draw and/or write about your Spacecat carving a pumpkin!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />The October monthly madness will last till <strong>October 31st!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/small_rainbow.png" alt="" width="400" height="1" /></strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">REMINDERS:</h3>
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">Shooting star tails must look like a star - this could be a traditional 5 point star or anything that we can<strong> obviously recognize as a star.</strong> Aside from that, the rest of the tail must resemble a <strong>wispy, comet, loose, or swirling tail.</strong> Shooting star tails<strong> do not combine with any other types.</strong> (With the exception of split tails, which is a modifier rather than a tail type itself)</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Please make sure to list your CBCs original source in the comments section of your MYO submission!</strong> </li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Make sure to mark your art redemption submission as “gift” (and mark how many characters are gifts) to get the gift bonus! We’ve noticed a lot of people have been missing this. Any submission that features characters you do not own counts as a gift for art redemption, even if it was a part of a trade. </li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Don't publicly submit an unapproved Spacecat to Toyhou.se or pay or trade for art of them until approved</strong> - as a reminder, this is listed in the rules channel in-server. It’s fine to submit them on authorized only/other private settings, not not publically! If we find you repeatedly break this rule, we will give you a warning and potentially suspend/ban you from the species if it keeps up!</li>
</ul><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/small_rainbow.png" alt="" width="400" height="1" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Hello, and Happy Halloween! It's time for our yearly Halloween event.<br />This year we’ll have another haunted house run, along with an art prompt and a small scavenger hunt!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You’ll be able to comment on the haunted house <strong>once per day</strong> to “run” through it to collect candy (an event currency), a design, essences, or myth items! Each day will have a new on-site page with a link to said page placed in the announcements channel in-server with the @minor announcements ping! Our mods will be giving out rewards as soon as possible, but please keep in mind we are all a bit busy, so there may be a little bit of a wait - however, we’ll try our best to keep everything up to date! All prizes will be given out by the end of the event despite any delay.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There will be <strong>6 candy pails hidden</strong> around the site that <strong>everyone</strong> can claim, along with a <strong>few designs and supernovas that will be FCFS!</strong> The designs along with the supernovas will be hidden throughout the masterlist, while candy pails will be in easier to find locations! You can give each other hints for where they may be, but directly telling each other isn't allowed - the same goes for designs/supernovas! You may only claim <strong>one</strong> of the scavenger hunt designs/supernovas. There will be a message in the discord server that's updated as the designs are found.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The art prompt is as follows:<br />Draw a Spacecat (one you own or one owned by other people with permission!) dressing up for halloween! This could be a simple white sheet ghost costume, or an elaborate cosplay of their favorite characters! <strong>CBCs dressed up as the character they’re based on do not count for this.</strong> This prompt can also <strong>be done multiple times!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The rules for the art prompt are as follows:</p>
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">Your illustration must be (at the least) a Fullbody! There is no background required for this prompt.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Your illustration must be, at the minimum, <strong>cleanly lined and colored</strong>!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Your illustration <strong>MUST</strong> be submitted to the event gallery! (As well as when submitting the prompt, you'll need to link to the gallery submission. Gallery submissions can still be linked to before official approval/while pending, so there should be no reason you can't link it when submitting your piece! Prompt submissions with outside links like Discord, sta.sh, etc. will be rejected.)</li>
</ul><p style="text-align:center;">This event will run from <strong>October 23rd to the 31st!</strong> After the event ends/we finish handing out the prizes from the haunted house run, an event shop will open and there will be another newsletter detailing it!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Unstable stars:</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />Along with the above we’re releasing a new type of myo slot for this event! Unstable stars are randomized myo slots, you are given a few set traits to work with and you have to design your spacecat based on them! These will be given out alongside candy and a few other items in the haunted house.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">You can find the first day <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/halloween-2022-1">[here]</a> and view your scavenger hunt progress <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/hunts/1">[here]</a></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Remember to pick up the minor announcements role if youd like a ping everytime the next day is released! </p>]]>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Hi everyone! Here’s part 2 of the June newsletter - it's a long one as we have a special event and some other exciting announcements! Please be sure to read through entirely.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /><br />Merging with Sodaplanet:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />As some of you may already know, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Digimon" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">Digimon</a> has been gifted Sodacats/Longyu by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/C-Side" class="display-user" style="color: #79BC7F;">C-Side</a>, and as of today the species will be merging together! Spacecats, Sodacats, and Longyu will all be a part of the same universe, and we plan to have some lore revolving around how the three species are related, along with eventually adding some actual ARPG elements to the site soon.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />While a big change, we hope you guys end up enjoying it. An announcement has been made in the Sodaplanet Discord server on how to get your inventories onto your on-site accounts - please read it over for more information!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Changes to Sodaplanet:</h2>
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">Longyus have been renamed Guppymanders, since there is already a real animal called Longyus - we’ve decided it's best the name is changed!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Some traits have been shifted around, removed, or added!
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">Normal Eyes has been split into two separate traits, Standard Iris and Dark Pupils</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Overgrown Fangs has been renamed Saber Teeth</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Glowing has been renamed Bioluminescence</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Rings have been split into two separate traits, Rings and Halo</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Point Ears have been renamed Standard Ears</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Tuft Ears have been changed to a modifier trait (as in they are now not an ear type of their own, they need to be stacked on top of another ear trait) and renamed Fur Ear Tufts</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Long Ears have been renamed Long Standing Ears</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Colored Sclera has been split into two traits, (Rare) Dark Sclera and (Uncommon) Colored Sclera</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Colored Pupil has been added as an uncommon trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Extra limbs has been split into two traits, (Rare) Extra Limbs (Less than 4) and (Mythical) Extra Limbs (More than 4)</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Stitches have been detraited</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Heterochromia has been detraited</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Decorations have been detraited (Although your sodacat still requires one, there are just no rarity tiers anymore.)</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Smooth/Layered Soda has been removed as a trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Standard Bubbles has been added as a trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Sodacats now require bubbles throughout their soda</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Shaped Eyeball has been detraited, as a team we feel this is more a stylistic choice than anything.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Stream Tail has been renamed to Cat Tail, as we noticed most end up just looking like regular cat tails.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Fountain Hair (hair made of soda that is unstyled or flowy, akin to the Spacecat wispy/loose hair traits) has been added as a common trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Fur Hair and No Hair have been added as a trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Shaped Hair (Hair made of soda that is styled) has been added as an uncommon trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Bubble Tail has been renamed Bobbed Tail</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Flop Ears has been renamed Long Floppy Ears</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Fins have been renamed Aquatic parts. This is now a common trait on Guppymanders (for any aquatic traits outside of the gils, whiskers, and fins that the species requires) and an uncommon trait on Sodacats.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Antenna has been renamed Insect Parts and can now be any insect features.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Transformation has been renamed Shapeshifting</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Multiple forms has been renamed Multi-form</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Companion Growth has been renamed Companions, and bumped down to rare instead of mythical</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Hooves have been renamed Paw Mutations and can now be any unusual paw shape.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Long/Short fish tail has been merged into one single Fish Tail trait</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Rarity colors have changed</li>
</ul></li>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h3>
<p> </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">August Breeding:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />We will be having a breeding opening this month! We will be hosting the raffle to pay today (8/1) and rolling the raffle/opening the FCFS slots tomorrow (8/2) !</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">All SpaceStation species are able to be bred, however crossbreeding the species is not allowed at this time! So your breeding pair would have to be the same species, at least for this batch!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The form for the raffle to pay, along with information on when the FCFS slots open will be posted in the discord server!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">August Monthly Madness:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />This month’s theme is <strong>Vacations</strong>! Draw and/or write your SpaceStation character going on a Vacation! <br />The August monthly madness will last till August 31st!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Art Redemption Reminders:</h3>
<ul><li>Gift Art and Staff Art bonuses are not stackable!
<ul><li>Staff Art only refers to cats on the Staff and NPC page viewable <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/NPC-Staff">here</a> !</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Art trades can be listed as gift art!</li>
<li>The only types of art that cannot be redeemed for cloud coins are:
<ul><li>Any art that was commissioned (for IRL currency, any sort of in-game currency, or cloud coins)</li>
<li>The initial image of your MYO that was submitted to the site.</li>
<li>Base fills and YCHs</li>
<li>Event based art prompts (unless otherwise specified)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul><h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><br />Trait Changes:</h3>
<p> </p>
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">Bubbles/Foam at the tip of the tail are now required for sodacats! (You can view <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/character/SDC-001">Fizz’s</a> tail tip as an example of what we mean! )
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">We will go back and adjust already approved cats to have an illegal trait (You are not required to redesign your character no worries! You may continue to use them as is, however if you ever choose to redesign them you will be required to fix any illegal traits!)</li>
</ul></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Big cats and wild cats may now have any features that appear on the irl animal added for free to your MYOs. (So for example you may give a lion based big cat the mane trait for free, or a tiger based spacecat rounded ears without the need of an item, caracals may be given long standing ears, ect.)
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">The only exception to this is shaped tail, which still requires a rare trait addon!</li>
</ul></li>
</ul><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>

<p> </p>
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">A dming feature has been added on-site! You may now DM other users, either by clicking the “Message User” button on their profile or by clicking “New Message” in your inbox!
<ul><li style="text-align:left;">On the same topic as above you can access your inbox either by clicking the link on the navbar under “Home” or by clicking the link on the left hand sidebar!</li>
</ul></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We have <strong>removed</strong> the myth limit from all cats!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/kssz8" class="display-user" style="color: #88CBCE;">kssz8</a> has made a few random generators for the species! You can view them here if you’d like to mess around with them! <a href="https://perchance.org/sodacatgen">Sodacats</a> , <a href="https://perchance.org/guppymandergen">Guppymanders</a> , and <a href="https://perchance.org/spacecat-generator">Spacecats !</a></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Starting next month (September) Pulsars, Blueberry Sodas, and Silver Eggs will be changed to raffle to pay instead of FCFS!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We are converting all leftover candy to cloud coins! This has been on the backburner for a while but we finally have time to sit down and take care of it.</li>
</ul><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Thank you all for tuning in! <img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/data/emotes/6-image.png"></span></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Art Prompt:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Draw your character dressing up for halloween! </span><span style="font-weight:400;">This prompt can be submitted multiple times and will close on November 1st.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:left;"><strong>Rules:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align:center;"><li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Your illustration must be (at the least) a Fullbody! There is no background required for this prompt.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Your illustration must be, at the minimum, cleanly lined and colored!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You can draw your character cosplaying for this prompt! However if your character is already a cbc you </span><strong>cannot</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> draw them cosplaying as their source. An in-canon costume is fine, but it cannot just be cosplaying the base character.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Your illustration </span><strong>MUST </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">be submitted to the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/gallery/5">Event Gallery </a></span><strong>AND </strong><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/11">Event prompt</a>! (As well as when submitting the prompt, you'll need to link to the gallery submission. Gallery submissions can still be linked to before official approval/while pending, so there should be no reason you can't link it when submitting your piece! Prompt submissions with outside links like Discord, sta.sh, etc. will be rejected.)</span></li>
</ul><h3 style="text-align:left;"><strong>Rewards:</strong></h3>
<ul><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">5 random crafting materials</span></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">15 candy</span></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You will receive the Dress Up 2023 patch the first time you complete this prompt</span></li>
</ul><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you do not have your own spacestation character you're free to draw the npcs in their costumes! They can be seen below:</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have decided to split the mutation trait into two traits, small mutations (rare, for smaller things like feathers or scales) and large mutations (myth, for things that change the characters anatomy drastically, something like making them look like an object)</p>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Trait Reminders:</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Please remember to add notes to traits that have multiple things fall under them (ex: small/large mutations, aquatic parts, insect parts,ect.). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />For example, if your MYO has feathers/the small mutation trait make sure to list feathers in the “Extra” info section of the trait!<strong> For randomized MYOs, you will have to add this to the “Comments” section instead of the “Trait” section.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br /><strong>From now on if you do not include this your MYO will be sent back!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></strong></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rule Update/Reminder:</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">From now on you may not use typing quirks in any “official“ channels in the discord server or in the comments section of design/redesign approvals. This also goes for prompt submissions. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />This is for accessibility reasons, please keep in mind that typing quirks cause issues with screen readers.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />Bashing other Closed Species is not allowed in the discord server or on the site, <strong>ESPECIALLY</strong> Space Station ones. We know that people can have favorites, and that's fine, but saying that you do not care about a particular species or complaining about getting items for a species is unacceptable. If you do not want an item that you have received from this event, simply make a post in the appropriate channel or donate it. Any further discussion of this type will warrant a warning.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>November Monthly Madness:</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This month’s theme is </span><strong>FAMILY</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">! Draw and/or write about your Spacestation character’s family! This prompt is vague so feel free to interpret it as you wish! This prompt does include found family.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The November monthly madness will last till November 30th!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

<ul><li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">wysiwyg comments have been added, this will make it easier to format your comments on site!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The images for the new traits for sodacats/guppymanders are currently being worked on! These should be done and on-site in the next few days.</span></li>

<h4 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h4>
<h4 style="text-align:center;">Secret Santa:</h4>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />Our secret santa form has closed and we will be contacting everyone with their partners soon!<br />As a reminder:<br /><strong>All art will be due on the 31st of December!</strong> Please make sure you're able your art done by then before signing up! If you sign up and at some point something comes up and you're unable to finish the art please contact a mod by the 26th so we can find a backup for you.

Fullbodies don't need to be shaded, but headshots must be.</strong><br />You must submit your secret santa to the prompt located <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/12">here</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Holiday Item Advent:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />Later on this month we’ll be hosting an item advent calendar!<br />From <strong>December 26th through the 31st</strong> there will be an item claimable every day! You will be able to view this calendar via the navigation bar or sidebar underneath 'quick links' starting on December 26th!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Character Warnings:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />You may now add content warnings to your characters! This will add a popup to the character, along with censoring their icon. You may turn this off in your user settings.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">User Shops:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />You may now set up your own shop on site! Here you can sell your items to other users!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>You may decorate your shop as you please, however your shopfront must be SFW and not contain any gore or other inappropriate imagery. Swearing is alright, however slurs or any offensive language is not.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Keep in mind making your shop name too long may result in users being unable to purchase items from your shop, <strong>please try to keep shop names 32 characters or under!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">World Information:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />This section is still a big WIP, however you can view some information about the world Space Station species are from <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/world/info">here</a>! Make sure to check out the sidebar links as well, as some will include more information! These will be slowly added and updated as time goes on.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">December Monthly Madness:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />This month’s theme is<strong> Snowed In</strong>! Draw and/or write about your Spacestation character experiencing heavy snowfall!<br />The December monthly madness will last till <strong>December 31st!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">We have created a page for all the advent designs to be viewed! Designs will be added to it as they’re revealed. You can view the page <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/winter-2023">here</a>!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>You must now list what has changed in the comments section when redesigning characters! If you don’t we’ll cancel the submission.</strong></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Character pronouns have been added!</strong> These will be viewable on your character's profile page! <strong>If we find you putting anything aside from pronouns in this box you will be given a warning or banned, depending on what is put there.</strong></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Character names are now limited to 32 characters</strong>, the abundance of incredibly long joke names has been difficult to moderate for a while now (along with causing issues for those on mobile and those with screen readers), and after discussion we have decided to place this limit. <strong>Trying to make a character’s name longer than 32 characters long will cause an error to pop up.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><br />Over the Clouds Event:</h1>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is a multi-part lore based event! <strong>The first part will start today (12/1), the second will start on 12/12, third on 12/23, 4th on 12/30, and epilogue on 1/7</strong> ! Each part will include a couple of art prompts, new crafting recipes, raffles, encounters, foraging, and a dialogue event! Please read on to learn more :]</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Story art prompts may only be completed once, and must be completed by the character's owner. NPCs cannot be used for this event, however we will have a FTO shop set up to allow users without any characters to participate.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Event prompts may be completed multiple times, and may be done by other members for you (but they must include your characters in them if done by other members).</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Story prompts must be completed in order.</strong> Any previous ones must be completed before moving on to the next one.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Status effects have been added to the site, characters can roll status effects from prompts. <strong>If a character has a mild status effect, they have a slight chance to bring back nothing from whatever prompt you submit to, if they have a severe status effect they have a larger chance to bring back nothing! Make sure to heal your characters before doing more prompts for the event!</strong> <em>This does not apply to Monthly Madness, art redemption or the story prompts.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Food and Tools can be crafted during the event, along with a few turn in items for extra rewards. We have also added healing items! <em>Tools will be more clear during the 2nd part of the event</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Food gives users more energy to use during encounters and healing items heal status effects.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We originally thought this went without saying, but we have to make this clear upfront now - </span><strong>we do not tolerate any sort of cheating in these events. This includes multi-accounting and getting friends to join for the sole purpose of giving you all of their items. If we catch you (which, trust me, we will), then we will be banning you from participating in events for an entire year, and any items accumulated from the event will be removed from your account without refund.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Dialogue Event:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />As stated above, this event will be in multiple parts! The first dialogue event can be seen <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/OtC-1">here</a>, and each part will have a new newspost, including links and new info!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">GalacticRing</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Foraging:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Similar to October’s event, we will have foraging for this event! Currently, there is only one location to forage at, but with each part, you will unlock a new place to forage at!</p>
<h5 style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Foraging may drop:</strong></span></h5>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Crafting Materials</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Cloud Coins</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Raffle tickets for premade designs</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /><br />Crafting:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Like before, foraging will drop crafting materials!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Most of these recipes are focused on food, which gives you more energy for something very specific…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Exploring (Encounters):</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">With each part of this event, more exploration areas will be unlocked! You will have a single location you can explore at first, with the next being unlocked at the next part!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>With exploring, you will have a variety of encounters from the perspective of the NPCs during the lore event, with the chance to gain items!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Art Prompts:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will have two art prompts with each part of the event, able to be completed at any time until the event ends, but the <strong>story prompts MUST be completed in order</strong>! <strong>Non-story event prompts rewards will be rolled on characters, so any rewards will go to them instead of your inventory</strong>! From there you can transfer the items out of your character's inventory into yours.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For your character to get rewards you must select them as the "focus character"! You can also only submit prompts that include your own characters. If you were to do an event prompt that includes two of your own characters, and one of another member's for example, you'd be able to submit the prompt for your two characters, and the other member would need to submit to it with their character as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Misc:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Reminder that Cirrocanius require <strong>full claw fingers</strong> instead of toes with overgrown claws! The latter requires the paw mutations trait, while the former is standard anatomy!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Art on site will be slowly adjusted to reflect the change in Moonbeam's design! Please be patient with us as there's quite a lot of art to be redone/adjusted!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The admin account's name has been changed to <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/PortBorealis" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">PortBorealis</a>, previously Moonbeam!</li>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Item price changes:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We have noticed that a lot of currency has been circulating around lately, so we have come to the decision to increase the prices of everything (except for redesign items) in the shops!! This is to hopefully balance out the economy some!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Staff character changes:</strong></h3>

<li style="text-align:left;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/macross" class="display-user" style="color: #88A6CE;">macross</a> no longer has a staff sona, one will be chosen later on.</li>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Staff Applications:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Space Station is currently seeking more staff members! Info can be found in the link below:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://forms.gle/gokvvs7HXhXHws6g6">https://forms.gle/gokvvs7HXhXHws6g6</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>This form will close on 1/24</strong> and new staff members will be chosen/contacted on 1/30. <strong>New staff members will be announced on 2/1!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Poly Breeding Batches + Valentines Event:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Next month we will be having Poly Breedings again! Star clusters will be returning as well, along with equivalents for the other 3 species!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We will also be hosting a Valentines Event next month, more news about this will be detailed in next month’s newsletter!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"> </span><strong>Breeding Updates:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Breeding prices have increased from $10 to $15, this is just so it's more fair on our artists. Mixed species breedings will also be accepted for mod breedings only. In the future this may come to self breeds as well. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Fetch Quests:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We have added Fetch Quests to the site!! Every day, a new item will be generated for you to give to the page for a CloudCoin reward! You may submit an item to this multiple times a day, with a one hour cooldown. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This category is set to only generate redesign items, since we know those don’t get used as much and people have gotten plenty from these past events!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>January Monthly Madness:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This month’s theme is </span><strong>Dreams</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">! Draw and/or write about your spacestation character either dreaming or doing something they dream of doing! </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The January monthly madness will last till </span><strong>January 31st</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Misc:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Reminder that all Cirrocanius need cloud shapes on the tip of their tails! Along with that their snouts must be long/borzoi like!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You must list what is changed when submitting a redesign! We will send it back otherwise.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Long fur hair now covers hair that is tied up/spiked upwards.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Long Horns [GUP] is now a modifier trait, you need a horn shape train ontop of it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Starting next month Sodacats will be getting the long fur hair trait as well.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Strawberry sugar/syrup has been renamed Grape sugar/syrup.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We’ve decided to change the Breed Specific Body on Cirrocanius to be a rare trait instead of uncommon.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Missing head/face has been added to Cirrocanius, along with Insect parts. We meant to add these at launch but forgot!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The CBC masterlist has been released publically and can be viewed <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFkjlIw4vuekw4XqPkqEGx37NWmMfGoOLDgySwPn7Yw/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>. </span><ul style="text-align:left;">
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This is because recently we’ve gotten a few people accidently making CBCs look too similar to another member’s. This is just so you can easily find other CBCs of the same character and make sure yours is different enough!</span></li>
</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">User borders have been added! These are just little borders that go around your icon :] Right now theres 4 default ones, based off each of the species. More will be added occassionally.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The rest of the discord emojis are being added to site! We are currently hunting for the files for some of them, but we should hopefully have those added later today or tomorrow!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/redcrowz" class="display-user" style="color: #21775A;">redcrowz</a> is now a helper!</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Thank you all for reading!</span></p>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Hi everyone! The epilogue of the Over the Clouds event is here!</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If you wish to read the newsletter without getting story spoilers, then we recommend reading the dialogue event first before scrolling!!</strong></h5>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Over the Clouds End Date</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Over the Clouds will be ending on 1/31. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As long as you submit your prompts by then they will count! We will set up a new prompt for submitting any corrections to prompts that may be rejected after 1/31. You will have until 2/14 to resubmit any fixed prompts to it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dialogue Event</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">The epilogue of the dialogue event is here!! Be sure to read it <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/OtC-5">here </a>before partaking in this event!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">GalacticRing</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Travel Logs</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Travel logs have been hidden throughout the site! There are 3 in total - while these can only be claimed by one person each, once claimed they can be read by everyone - you must input the prize code you find! Consider this a group effort, good luck!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The logs were written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">GalacticRing</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>New Crafting Recipies/Encounters/Activities:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Same as last part, there are additional crafting recipes for you to enjoy! Have fun with expanded options to choose from, as well as new items to craft with!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Additionally, new encounter and foraging areas have been added! The rewards for these are the same as last time, with the new items being added to the rewards!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>With exploring, you will have a variety of encounters from the perspective of the NPCs during the lore event, with the chance to gain items!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>New Prompts:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have added two new prompts for you guys - one story prompt and one event prompt!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Story prompts can only be completed one time and MUST be completed in order, so you must have finished part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4's story prompts before doing this one - they also must be completed by you!</strong> Event prompts are repeatable, and can be completed by anyone so long as your character is featured in it!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For your character to get rewards you must select them as the "focus character"! You can also only submit prompts that include your own characters. If you were to do an event prompt that includes two of your own characters, and one of another member's for example, you'd be able to submit the prompt for your two characters, and the other member would need to submit to it with their character as well.</p>

                <![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone! We wanted to make a rules update, since this has continued to be an issue and we feel as though the current rules do not sufficiently cover the bases we want it to.</p>
<p><br />We want to remind everyone that <strong>multi-accounting, even in the case of having a friend sign up just to give you free stuff, is absolutely, positively, not allowed.</strong> Gifting occasionally is fine, but if the purpose of making the account is to send someone free stuff, then it falls under our multi-accounting rules.</p>
<p><br />Therefore, since we have still seen this happening, we wanted to make an update to the rules. Previously, a case of multi-accounting would lead to an event ban, a strike, and revoking of all items related to the event from the inventory of the perpetrator, as well as the banning of any extra accounts.</p>
<h6><br /><strong>From now on, moving forward, any and all multi-accounting will result in a full one-year ban from the species entirely.</strong></h6>
<p><br />We did not want to take this step, but we feel as though this is the only way to combat an issue that we've had throughout the past two events. <strong>Do note that if you multi-account, we WILL find out, and there WILL be consequences.</strong></p>
<p><br />Thank you for your time, and have a good day everyone!</p>]]>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rule Updates/Reminders:</strong></h2>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rule Updates:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You must now link the parents of your self breeds in the comments section of the submission, just listing the masterlist number will not work and your submission will be sent back if you do not do so. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Cirros must have the long, sloped muzzle unless you have the breed specific body trait. </span><strong>However </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">the design must overall look like the breed you’re saying it is. We will not allow the trait to only be used for the muzzle of the stated breed, you must incorporate the breeds anatomy as well (for example, a german shepard must have a sloped back, a corgi must have short legs, just generally it needs to look like the dog breed you assign them.)</span></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>You may now only void characters if you have permission from the original designer.</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Reminders:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Give our staff team at least 48 hours to answer any questions you have. If we put a discussing emoji on your question/design check/etc. do not try to guess why we’ve done so. It clogs the chat and makes it much harder for us to answer other questions in the chats. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Gift art counts as any art you’ve made of someone elses character </span><strong>as long as no currency was exchanged for it.</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> This includes cloudcoins. Art made for others as a part of item trades, art trades, etc. all count as gift art. </span></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Multi-accounting on the site is strictly forbidden and will result in a ban once we catch you doing so.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We will be having a small lore event for Valentine's day! This will not be at nearly the scale of Over the Clouds, but is just meant for fun!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This event will run from <strong>February 7th to February 21st</strong>!</span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Additionally, <strong>crossbreeding Space Station species is now allowed, but only for staff breedings!</strong> If you decide to have a batch with multiple Space Station species present, the batch will be a mixture of the species, though each kitten/puppy will belong to a singular species!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>

                <![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align:center;">PEACE AND LOVE NEWSLETTER:</h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL. MOST THINGS SHOULD BE ANSWERED IN THIS. IF YOU ASK SOMETHING THAT IS ANSWERED ON THIS NEWSLETTER WE WILL REDIRECT YOU TO THIS AGAIN.</strong></span></h2>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is a single-part lore event! We wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day this year with a special event! This will be similar to Over the Clouds, but not nearly to the same scale!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This event <strong>starts today, 2/7, and ends in two weeks (+ one day), on 2/22.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This event has a few different parts to it, and this newsletter goes over it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">An Important Reminder:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />We do <strong>not</strong> tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Multiaccounting, including getting friends to sign up just to send you items</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Hacking the website, or other people's accounts</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out. We do not tolerate it whatsoever, as it gives users an advantage over others. This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We did not want to take this step, but the amount of this we had in the last event made it so we had to go through with this.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Dialogue Event:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />The dialogue event can be read <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/Valentines-2024">here</a>, and it has branching paths! You can go through it multiple times to get all three different stories!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">GalacticRing</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Foraging:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">There are two locations to forage during this event!</p>
<h5 style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Foraging may drop:</strong></span></h5>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Crafting Materials</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Cooking Items</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Misc Items</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Currency</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /><br />Crafting:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Like before, foraging will drop crafting materials!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Crafting works the same as previous events. <strong>You will need to read the dialogue event to unlock the recipes.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Exploring (Encounters):</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Like last time, encounters are making a return! You have two locations to choose from, with unique encounters in each area!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>With exploring, you will have a variety of encounters from the perspective of the NPCs during the lore event, with the chance to gain items!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Status Effects:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Through prompts, your characters can gain a status effect! This is the <strong>Love Sick</strong> status effect, with the severe version being <strong>Heartbroken</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In this event, <strong>Broken Bones</strong> and <strong>Wound</strong> also makes a comeback and has a chance to appear from prompts!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We have also updated Lucky: it only is in effect for a total of 3 prompts before it goes away!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Art Prompts:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will have two art prompts with each part of the event, able to be completed at any time until the event ends, but the <strong>story prompts MUST be completed in order</strong>! <strong>Non-story event prompts rewards will be rolled on characters, so any rewards will go to them instead of your inventory</strong>! From there you can transfer the items out of your character's inventory into yours.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For your character to get rewards you must select them as the "focus character"! You can also only submit prompts that include your own characters. If you were to do an event prompt that includes two of your own characters, and one of another member's for example, you'd be able to submit the prompt for your two characters, and the other member would need to submit to it with their character as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h4 style="text-align:left;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/26"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Story Prompt 1:</strong></span></a></h4>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Depict your spacestation character visiting a location that’s important to them.</span></p>
<h5 style="text-align:left;"><br />Rules:</h5>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">If drawing for this prompt, it <strong>MUST</strong> be at least a shaded fullbody with a simple scene background!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">If writing for this prompt, it <strong>MUST</strong> be a minimum of 500 words!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">This prompt <strong>MUST</strong> be completed by the character owner, unless you do not own a SpaceStation character! In that case, you are permitted to use an NPC!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>This prompt can only be completed once!</strong></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Your piece <strong>MUST</strong> be submitted to the <strong>event gallery AND Event prompt</strong>! (As well as when submitting the prompt, you'll need to link to the gallery submission. Gallery submissions can still be linked to before official approval/while pending, so there should be no reason you can't link it when submitting your piece! <strong>Prompt submissions with outside links like Discord, sta.sh, etc. will be rejected.</strong>)</li>
</ul>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rule Updates/Reminders:</strong></h2>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rule Updates:</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>We no longer allow companions to have Spacedust/Soda/Sky on them!<span style="font-weight:400;"> While this has been allowed in the past, we have come to the decision that it should be disallowed in the future.</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Reminders:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Give our staff team at least 48 hours to answer any questions you have. If we put a discussing emoji on your question/design check/etc. do not try to guess why we’ve done so. It clogs the chat and makes it much harder for us to answer other questions in the chats. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Gift art counts as any art you’ve made of someone else’s character </span><strong>as long as no currency was exchanged for it.</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> This includes cloudcoins. Art made for others as a part of item trades, art trades, etc. all count as gift art. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Multi-accounting on the site is strictly forbidden and will result in a ban once we catch you doing so.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>March Monthly Uncommon MYO Raffles:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Each MYO is 2,000 Cloud Coins if you win!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Please remember to have the Cloud Coins before entering! If we are forced to reroll you because you did not read this, you will be getting a strike. Thank you.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>You will be able to self enter until 3/2 23:59:59 site time, and the raffles will be rolled on 3/3!</strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Valentines Event Ended/Corrections Prompt:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The Valentine’s event ended on the 22nd of February! We would like to thank everyone for your participation!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Just like last event, we have a corrections prompt just in case you got your prompt sent back and you didn’t get a chance to fix it! This prompt will close on the 7th of March!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The Candy Shop will also be open until then to give people time to spend their event currency!</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>March Gacha:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We will have a Gacha this month! The theme will be revealed later, but rolls are </span><strong>$20</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> each!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">A raffle to pay form will be released on the 14th, with the FCFS post being made/designs being rolled on the 15th!</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Randomized MYO Gacha:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">In addition to the usual design Gacha we have, we also have decided to have a Randomized MYO Gacha for Cloud Coins! The entry fee will be </span><strong>1500 CC</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> and will come with a color palette that must be followed for the design!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The raffle to pay form as well as the FCFS post will be made on the same days as the USD Gacha!</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Easter Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Easter is in March this year, however our Easter event will be hosted in April this time around! There will be an event-specific newsletter posted closer to time.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This will not be a lore-based event this time around!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We are opening Temporary Guest Artist positions for this event!</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> You can apply </span><a href="https://forms.gle/MrFgvXF9GJzDaEah8"><span style="font-weight:400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;">. This will close after a week, with people contacted afterwards!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">These will be free designs, but designers will be compensated with a free Uncommon MYO of your choosing!</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>March Monthly Madness:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This month’s theme is </span><strong>Flowers</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">! Draw and/or write about your spacestation character interacting with flowers!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The March monthly madness will last till </span><strong>March 31st</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">!</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Misc:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/finn" class="display-user" style="color: #79BC7F;">finn</a> is stepping down as Co-Owner, and is instead going to be a Guest Artist for the time being!</span></li>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>RULE UPDATES:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After a long discussion with staff we have ultimately decided that the shapeshifting trait needs adjustments. </span><strong>From this day forward, the trait will be renamed Hamster and characters may only shapeshift into hamsters. Any characters with the former shapeshifting trait that does not have a hamster form will be marked as illegal. </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">Thank you! </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">As compensation we have decided to hide a “Hamster Pass” on a character with the hamster trait <em>(Any character with the hamster trait. This includes characters with an illegal hamster trait)</em>. You may use this “Hamster Pass” to add the Mythical Hamster trait to your character! Do not tell others where this is hidden, thank you!</span></p>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi everyone! More monthly news for you all. </span></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>RULE UPDATES:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After another long discussion with staff we have ultimately decided to undo the changes to the shape shifting trait. Hamsters are too difficult for us to work with, we hope you will forgive us. This will not happen again. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hamster passes will not be removed from the site until all of them have been used up. These still will only be able to make your character shapeshift into a hamster, and the shapeshift form will not be able to change from a hamster. You can still claim your hamster pass until 23:59:59 site time.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /><br /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>April Monthly Madness:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This month’s theme is </span><strong>Storms</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">! Draw and/or write about your spacestation character experiencing stormy weather! </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The April monthly madness will last till </span><strong>April 30th! </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">We will still accept Hamster related Monthly madness submissions until 4/7, you may submit to both the Hamster and Storms theme for this month.</span></em></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Misc:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Our FAQ has been moved to a new page, located <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/faq">here.</a></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You can now search for CBCs on site, the spreadsheet has started to become unmanageable for us and we figured it’d be easier to just allow both staff and users to search for them on the actual site itself.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fetch quests have been updated</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The Wheel has been updated</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Characters may now have multiple subtypes, so it's now possible to have a sodacat that's both a wild cat and big cat for example (either because its a hybrid, or because of multiform)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/redcrowz" class="display-user" style="color: #A371D9;">redcrowz</a> is now a full moderator!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We have promoted <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/yugioh" class="display-user" style="color: #D971CF;">yugioh</a> and <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Lobcorp" class="display-user" style="color: #D971CF;">Lobcorp</a> to a new position of Senior Moderators. This role is functionally identical to Moderators for most purposes, but minor changes on the staff side mean you should see MYOs and redesigns be approved faster.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We have noticed several users posting looking for ads for staff customs in the Discord server. We would like to remind you that we have <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/custom-starlit">a page set up on site</a> containing all relevant information about each staff member's customs, which is kept up to date. We would prefer it if you refer to that and contact the artist you are interested in getting a custom from directly, rather than advertising in the Discord server for it. Thank you!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Past event cooking/crafting/food items are currently in the process of being removed from the site. </span></li>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi all! Tomorrow marks the start of our (late) Easter event. However, before we can get into that we’d like to make a small announcement. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>From now on, we’d like to stray away from IRL religious holidays. We will still host events somewhat around these holidays however we will be avoiding directly referencing them. </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Anyways, onto the Spring Hunt event details!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Starting Tomorrow at </span><strong>15:00:00 site time</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">, we will be hosting a scavenger hunt. </span><strong>This will last from tomorrow (4/5) till 4/9 23:59:59 site time.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">From 4/5 until 4/8 each day will have a total of 8 items to find. </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Of those 8, 4 will be raffle tickets for premade designs. </span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Meaning this time around, premade designs will not be FCFS. These designs will be revealed on 4/10. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">You may also purchase choice boxes to obtain raffle tickets for any design you may be potentially interested in with Cloudcoins. </span></em><strong><em>Remember that you need to open these boxes from your inventory in order to obtain the raffle tickets!</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This event will work like our previous Easter events, with items being hidden anywhere members can access. </span><strong>This includes non-staff owned characters.</strong></p>]]>

<p style="text-align:center;">Tomorrow (6/2/2024) we will be posting a preview for a batch of mystery pride adopts the staff has put together! Each adopt will be $35, and in the raffle to pay format!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Aside from that we also have a mini event planned for pride month! Another newsletter will be sent out on 6/7/2024 with info on it! ^_^</p>

<li style="text-align:left;">You can now open randomized MYO tickets from your inventory to generate them! You no longer need to wait on a member of staff to do so.

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL. MOST THINGS SHOULD BE ANSWERED IN THIS. IF YOU ASK SOMETHING THAT IS ANSWERED ON THIS NEWSLETTER WE WILL REDIRECT YOU TO THIS AGAIN.</strong></span></h2>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Hello everybody, happy pride month! To celebrate we have put together a small mini event for you all.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This event <strong>starts today, 6/7, and ends on 6/30.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This newsletter goes over everything you need to know.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">An Important Reminder:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />We do <strong>not</strong> tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Multiaccounting, including getting friends to sign up just to send you items</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Hacking the website, or other people's accounts</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out. We do not tolerate it whatsoever, as it gives users an advantage over others. This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We did not want to take this step, but the amount of this we have had in the past made it so we had to go through with this.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Dialogue Event:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><br />The dialogue event can be read <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/pride-2024">here</a>, and it has branching paths! You can go through it multiple times to get two different stories! There is a prize code at the end for the event crafting recipes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;">GalacticRing</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Foraging:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">There is one new location to forage at during this event!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="DIV.gif" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Art Prompts:</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have two art prompts for this event, able to be completed at any time until the event ends! <strong>Non-story event prompt rewards will be rolled on characters, so any rewards will go to them instead of your inventory</strong>! From there you can transfer the items out of your character's inventory into yours.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For your character to get rewards you must select them as the "focus character"! You can also only submit prompts that include your own characters. If you were to do an event prompt that includes two of your own characters, and one of another member's for example, you'd be able to submit the prompt for your two characters, and the other member would need to submit to it with their character as well.</p>

            <summary type="html">
                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Hi everyone! As you may have notice the site has been down for a little over 48 hours, during that time <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/redcrowz" class="display-user" style="color: #A371D9;"><i class="fas fa-meteor fa-shake mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>redcrowz</a> and I (<a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Digimon" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;"><i class="fas fa-cloud-moon fa-bounce mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>Digimon</a>) updated the site to lorekeeper 3.0! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">With this we have a few new site features, along with some other QOL updates! Please read below :]</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Cultivation:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Cultivation has been added to the site! This allows users to cultivate plants and earn Cloudcoins from doing so!<br />To get started with this feature head over to the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/shops/4">Sea Breeze Shop</a> to pick up a Photo of Soda Planet Farm, used to unlock the cultivation area. You may also purchase 1 Standard Hoe and Starfruit seeds from the same shop! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Standard Hoes can also be crafted with 2 sticks!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">More seeds/tools/areas will be added to the site at a later date!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Pet Bonding:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">You can now bond with your pets! In order to do so the pet must be attached to a character, and from there you can bond with it once a day from your pet's page! Getting to the next bonding level with a pet will grant you rewards!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Character Transformations:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have added the Character Transformations extension to the site! <strong>From this point foward Multiform and Shapeshifting will require characters to use transformation tabs. Color Changing may optionally also use transformation tabs. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Existing masterlist entries using these traits will remain as they are unless their images are updated. This is largely a cosmetic/organisational update; nothing else about these traits are changing.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You can view how this works/looks via <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/character/SC-3626">this character</a>!</p>
<h5 style="text-align:left;">To submit a new MYO or redesign with Multiform/Shapeshifting:</h5>
<ul>
<li><strong>The character still requires the Multiform/Shapeshifting trait!</strong></li>
<li>Submit <strong>only </strong>the main form as the masterlist image.</li>
<li>In the comments section add a link to the other form images. 
<ul>
<li>This image must be uploaded to an image hosting website like Imgur, sta.sh, or Imgbb. <strong>Discord links will be rejected.</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After approval, a staff member will upload these images to your characters profile, and set them as new transformations.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be added to the site guide in the next few days.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Friends &amp; Blocking:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">You can now add people as friends &amp; block them! You can view your friends list/requests on the navbar, under your username!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">MIsc Site updates:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Carousel on Dashboard
<ul>
<li>Cycling images on the dashboard! For now this is just some art from the Over the Clouds event, but eventually those will be swapped out for unique art!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Trait Subcategories</li>
<li>Artist Credits
<ul>
<li>Viewable <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/credits">here</a>!</li>

<li>If a prompt requires the user to fill out a form, that form will automatically be placed in the comments section instead of the user having to copy/paste it!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Custom Currency
<ul>
<li>Whenever we do cloudcoin auctions/flatsales it will no longer display as a character being sold for $1000! Yay!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Devlogs
<ul>
<li>You can view devlogs <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/devlogs">here</a>! You may turn on/off devlog notifications via your user settings. We will be using this to give updates on bugs and site features!</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>Linking gallery submissions to prompts is now easier</li>
<li>Links on your profiles for displaying your designs + masterlist art</li>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Gameplay:</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Standard event gameplay [encounters, foraging, etc.] but add “boss fights” as well. Each part of the event will come out 2 weeks after the previous.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">1-2 new encounter regions per part</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">for the first part we can probably reuse some from OtC</span></li>
</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">1-2 new foraging regions per part</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">same as above, we can reuse some from OtC</span></li>
</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">a handful of new crafting recipes per part</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">again same as above</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the part that introduces cultivation will only need farming tools and such as crafting recipes</span></li>
</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">a new “boss fight” per part</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">this will use the event tools extension</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">even if a boss isn’t “defeated” everyone will still get rewards.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">rewards will manually have to be given out however.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">boss is defeated by users drawing their tss characters doing a specific prompt</span></li>
</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Cultivation will get introduced. This is a gardening/farming mechanic.</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This will be permanent, with seeds cycling through a special shop per season.</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">shop will be managed by one of the twins</span></li>
</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Along with event exclusive plants.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Plants will be able to be sold for a small amount of cc (as in, 50 or under depending on growth time)</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">some will also be used to craft clayfox items</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Each plant needs a few life stages. seed, seedling, budding, and fully grown are the minimum. i also think we need seed packaging + fruits/flowers</span></li>
</ul></li>

</ul></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">1-3 new pets per part</span><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">should mostly just drop random items, once we get cultivation up we can have the majority of them drop seeds</span></li>
</ul></li>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Clay Fox Event:</strong></h2>
<h4>Part 1:</h4>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The following is the finalized script for part 1 of the clayfox event:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Eventually, the ship land on Awan, and the three adults file out of it.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Tempest:</strong> … It’s strange, to be back.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Moonbeam:</strong> We won’t stay long, especially if it makes you uncomfortable.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Tempest:</strong> I’ll be fine. Let’s just get this over with.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> The three of them walk on to search the area. After they are gone, Fizz pokes his head out before hopping out of the ship.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> This is where the Cirros came from? It’s so cold!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He shakes some snow from his fur before hopping through the snowy terrain. He spots some trees in the distance.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Oh, is that a forest? Maybe I can find some bear peppers!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Excited, Fizz scurries off without another thought.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Eventually…<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Moonbeam:</strong> There really was nothing, huh?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> The three adults return to the ship, empty-pawed.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Tempest:</strong> I don’t know what could have caused that… There should be nothing left here.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Goldie:</strong> Maybe a squee triggered an old electronic?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Tempest:</strong> That’s all I can think of… Let’s get back to Port Borealis, though.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> With that said, the three climb back in, and take off into the night.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> … Though without something very important.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Wait!!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Fizz runs through the snow, watching helplessly as the ship becomes nothing but a speck in the sky in a heartbeat.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Don’t leave me behind! I promise I won’t sneak off again!<br /></span><strong style="font-size:14.4px;">Narration:</strong><span style="font-size:14.4px;"> Unfortunately, nobody knew Fizz had boarded the ship in the first place, so his pleas go unheard.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He spends a few moments, dejected in the snow while trying to catch his breath. He is alone.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He spends the rest of the night staring in the sky, hoping that the others would return, not even noticing when he slowly slumps over and falls asleep.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> It is because of that, that when he opens his eyes, he is baffled to find himself in a completely different place.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> … Is this a city? Where am I?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> In awe of his surroundings, he slowly pads through the abandoned streets, gaping mouthed at everything around him. As there is no snow, it makes it at least bearable to exist down there.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Unfortunately, though, none of the electronics he finds seems to work.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Drat!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Frustrated after the fifth attempt, Fizz shoves a radio off a table, and it clatters loudly to the ground.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He jumps in surprise at how loud it was, but he hears something else.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> … Hello? Is someone out there?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> … Nobody, huh? That’s strange…<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> I know this planet’s abandoned, but… I feel like someone’s watching me. And those sounded mighty like pawsteps to me.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> After a bit of sulking, Fizz gets up and pads back out of the building, and he finds something unusual.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> An old campfire, long burnt out, with only some charcoal remaining.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Is this… where my moms met Tempest?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Again, he hears pawsteps somewhere, and he tenses.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> This isn’t funny! Come out!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Though his shouts echo on the cave walls, they go unanswered. He shivers again.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> My mamas are going to really get you if you don’t help me off this planet! I swear it!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He spends a short while shouting in this manner before he starts looking himself, turning over small rocks. At some point…<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He finds a large hole! Certainly, something must be down there?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Hello?<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> His voice echoes off the walls of the hole, and he strains to listen.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> However, there is no response.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> He grumbles, and keeps walking, but is so caught up in his thoughts that he doesn’t spot the change in footing just ahead.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Stupid walls with stupid holes and stupid rocks, and - AAH!!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Fizz trips, and tumbles down the small cliff, landing heavily in a snowdrift!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Though he struggles, he only feels himself sinking deeper in.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Fizz:</strong> Help! Help me!<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Once more, his shouting is unanswered, and he continues to try digging. Eventually, snow covers his vision, and he feels his body going numb.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Before he sinks into darkness, however, he swears he can feel some of the snow shift, and rhythmic paw strokes above him.<br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Narration:</strong> Could it be… someone to help…?</span></p>

<h4><span style="font-weight:400;">Draft Scripts for parts 2-4:</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The following are the drafts/outlines for parts 2-4 of the clayfox event:<br /><em>Note that these arent particularly well written, mostly serving as an idea for benny to follow when writing the script.</em><br /></span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Part 2:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fizz wakes up and his soda is frozen</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">new trait yay! not available to the community yet however. obtainable via adoption center currency like species shifting will be.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">He freaks the fuck out entirely</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Calms down and then realizes hes in some fucking cave lit up by glowing moss and mushrooms</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">freaks out again</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">finds the way out of the cave. gets lost in the tunnel. freaks out again</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">eventually he’s just grabbed by something way larger than him. freaks out again</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">dropped back in the cave where he comes face to face with brick. freaks out again.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">sweetie and truffles come out from behind brick and try to calm fizz down. fizz freaks out again.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">throughout everything in this part fizz should not be able to get a good look at the clayfoxes. simply thinking of them as cirro-like creatures</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Eventually they give up for the day and just leave fizz to calm down himself, but not before dropping off some food and water for him. brick covers the entrance with a rock.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No boss fight for this part? unless legit anyone else can think of something help me god</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Part 3:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After a few days of bringing food and water to fizz, fizz finally calms down enough to have a genuine conversation with the clayfoxes.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">fizz first asks if they’re cirros, then asks why they’ve trapped him in this cave</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the three clayfoxes insist on keeping fizz hidden, he keeps asking them about it until they finally cave and explain that if he’s found he’ll likely be killed</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They explain that the first clayfox, yggdrasil, was experimented on by cirros. Eventually he lead all the clayfoxes underground, and has kept them hidden ever since.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Since then clayfoxes have been pretty anti-outsider. trapping and killing any cirro that may find them, in an attempt to keep the species safe.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">In recent years some of the younger clayfoxes have been against this. Although sweetie and truffles feel like they can't trust the others to keep fizz a secret, and while he may not be a cirro they worry for how yggdrasil will react.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fizz is insistent and really wants to talk to yggdrasil. They all try to convince him that it's a terrible idea and eventually he relents.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fizz settles down for the night after this, however shortly after he falls asleep the cave they’re keeping him in is attacked by some creatures. The part ends here.</span></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<li><strong>Boss fight for this one is “Defend the cave”</strong></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Part 4:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They successfully defend the cave</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After they all sleep for the night, and fizz wakes up again he asks them about the distress signal</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They, however, know nothing about it. but promise to help fizz find it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">sweetie, truffles, and brick continue to hide fizz the best they can, while trying to find the device used to send out the distress signal.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This part should just be a lot of searching. with them finding nothing</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Eventually they get seen by a young adult clayfox. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Luckily they don’t report it to ygg, instead visiting with fizz for a while.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This leads to them bringing some of their friends to the cave where fizz is hidden.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">which leads to their friend’s friends visiting. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">etc. etc.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">eventually leading to someone untrustworthy being let in to see fizz, who tells ygg.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">unfortunately fizz and co do not get a heads up to this, leading them to get ambushed.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">a fight breaks out near the front of the cave, and brick picks fizz up by the scruff, and motions for some clayfoxes to follow it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">they quickly make their way out of a small side tunnel that brick had blocked and fizz had never noticed.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">they make it out onto the surface of the planet, in the middle of an icy field with next to no cover.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the group starts trekking towards a forest in the far distance, trying to get out of the open</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">when they’re around halfway through the field they hear loud screaming in the distance, getting closer and closer.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">a flock of squees descend upon the group, one swoops down and snatches one of the smaller clayfoxes before anyone can react.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">from there the group scatters. its chaos.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the squeemother makes its appearance, and the other smaller squees flee.</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the squeemother is an abnormally large, and fucked up looking squee</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">potentially temporary name</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the other clayfoxes have long since scattered. leaving only brick, truffles, sweetie, and fizz to face it</span></li>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Autumn foraging and encounters:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As promised, we have added one more foraging location and one more encounter region for autumn! These are in addition to last month's, and will be available until the beginning of winter. One more of each will be added on November 1st!</p>
<h5>Foraging Locations:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Pumpkin Patch</li>
</ul>
<h5>Encounter Regions:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Farmer's Market</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">HAlLOWEEN:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have decided not to host a full Halloween event this year, due to the ongoing lore event that will be running throughout the entirety of October. However, we do have a few things planned for you all!</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Halloween Advent Calendar:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be hosted in the week running up to Halloween. Prizes will include items and new pets, with an prize for collecting all of the days!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">HALLOWEEN GACHAS:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will be hosting two gachas on October 31st! The information for both of these can be found below:</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Cloud Coin Gacha:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will be hosting a Cloud Coin gacha! Rolls will cost 2,500 CC each, and will distribute a unique Halloween or autumn themed variant of an on-site pet. These variants will not be obtainable through any other means, and thus are completely unique individuals.</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">USD Gacha:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">Alongside the Cloud Coin Gacha, we will be hosting a USD gacha for Halloween and autumn themed designs! As with other gachas, rolls will cost $20 each.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">SPACETOBER:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Inspired by an idea pitched by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/aPhantom" class="display-user" style="color: #88CBCE;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>aPhantom</a> in our Discord server, we have decided to host an October daily prompts list!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/spacetober2024.png" alt="" width="600" height="548" /></p>
<h5>Rules:</h5>
<ul>
<li>If drawing for this prompt, it <strong>MUST</strong> be at least a rough colored sketch fullbody with a props background!</li>
<li>If writing for this prompt, it <strong>MUST</strong> be a minimum of 300 words!</li>
<li>Prompts are intentionally vague! Interpret them however you wish.</li>
<li>Pieces must be submitted to the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/gallery/9">Spacetober gallery on-site</a> <strong>and</strong> to the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/43">Spacetober prompt</a> with criteria attached to recieve full rewards!</li>
<li>You have three days to complete each piece - for example, the Day 1 prompt will be available to be fulfilled until October 3rd, and so on!</li>
<li>You do not need to complete each day to redeem pieces for rewards. You can do as many or as few as you like! Don't stress about it.</li>
<li>While you are free to make your own prompt lists, or follow another user's, only the official prompt list shown on this newsletter will be eligible for Spacetober rewards. Pieces for alternative prompt lists can still be submitted for regular art redemption as normal.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Rewards:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Cloud Coins (art redemption rates +100 per submission)</li>
<li>5 user exp</li>
<li>5 character exp</li>
<li>+100 bonus Cloud Coins every 3 submissions</li>
<li><strong>If you complete at least one prompt from each row on the sheet (for a total minimum of 5 submissions), you can recieve a Random Item Box at the end of the month!</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Lineages:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As some of you may have noticed, we are now beginning to add lineages to characters resulting from breeding batches and self breeds! This is being tracked for logistical reasons, to prevent any related characters from accidentally being paired with one another, and is not reflective of any actual lore that may be attached to characters. While we have already gone through many characters whose lineages we are aware of, we're missing many self breeds and old moderator batches.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">To help with the process, we have created a turn-in prompt here. If you own any characters from self-breeds or breeding batches without lineages already added, please send in a submission to help us out! <strong>Please do not submit characters whose relation only exists in personal lore. </strong>While those characters cannot be paired with one another either, we are not officially tracking them as lore is subject to change when characters change hands.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/44">The turn-in prompt for lineages can be found here!</a> Thank you for your help.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">October pay-to-enter raffle:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Design can be seen below! Each raffle ticket can be purchased for <strong>500 cc</strong> and can be found in the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/shops/1">Starstop Shop</a>!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<p> </p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>From now own all art for this event will be due <span style="text-decoration:underline;">2 days</span> before the part goes live. You may have an extra day extension if asked for, but you need to have some sort of progress. </strong>This is so we can get through event setup without worrying about missing art. This means part 3 art will be due <span style="text-decoration:underline;">October 25th.</span></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;">PLEASE. DOUBLE CHECK WHEN YOU UPLOAD CUSTOMS AND STARLIT POOLS AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NOT ADDED CLAYFOX TRAITS TO THEM.</h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<h4><span style="font-size:1.5rem;">Parts 3 &amp; 4 Outlines:</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The following are the drafts/outlines for parts 2-4 of the clayfox event:<br /><em>Note that these arent particularly well written, mostly serving as an idea for benny to follow when writing the script.</em></span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Part 3:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li><ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After a few days of bringing food and water to fizz, fizz finally calms down enough to have a genuine conversation with the clayfoxes.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">fizz first asks if they’re cirros, then asks why they’ve trapped him in this cave</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the three clayfoxes insist on keeping fizz hidden, he keeps asking them about it until they finally cave and explain that if he’s found he’ll likely be killed</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They explain that the first clayfox, yggdrasil, was experimented on by cirros. Eventually he lead all the clayfoxes underground, and has kept them hidden ever since.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Since then clayfoxes have been pretty anti-outsider. trapping and killing any cirro that may find them, in an attempt to keep the species safe.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">In recent years some of the younger clayfoxes have been against this. Although sweetie and truffles feel like they can't trust the others to keep fizz a secret, and while he may not be a cirro they worry for how yggdrasil will react.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fizz is insistent and really wants to talk to yggdrasil. They all try to convince him that it's a terrible idea and eventually he relents.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fizz settles down for the night after this, however shortly after he falls asleep the cave they’re keeping him in is attacked by some creatures. The part ends here.</span></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Boss fight for this one is “Defend the cave”</strong></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Part 4:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type:none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They successfully defend the cave</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After they all sleep for the night, and fizz wakes up again he asks them about the distress signal</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They, however, know nothing about it. but promise to help fizz find it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">sweetie, truffles, and brick continue to hide fizz the best they can, while trying to find the device used to send out the distress signal.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This part should just be a lot of searching. with them finding nothing</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Eventually they get seen by a young adult clayfox. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Luckily they don’t report it to ygg, instead visiting with fizz for a while.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This leads to them bringing some of their friends to the cave where fizz is hidden.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">which leads to their friend’s friends visiting. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">etc. etc.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">eventually leading to someone untrustworthy being let in to see fizz, who tells ygg.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">unfortunately fizz and co do not get a heads up to this, leading them to get ambushed.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">a fight breaks out near the front of the cave, and brick picks fizz up by the scruff, and motions for some clayfoxes to follow it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">they quickly make their way out of a small side tunnel that brick had blocked and fizz had never noticed.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">they make it out onto the surface of the planet, in the middle of an icy field with next to no cover.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the group starts trekking towards a forest in the far distance, trying to get out of the open</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">when they’re around halfway through the field they hear loud screaming in the distance, getting closer and closer.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">a flock of squees descend upon the group, one swoops down and snatches one of the smaller clayfoxes before anyone can react.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">from there the group scatters. its chaos.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the squeemother makes its appearance, and the other smaller squees flee.</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the squeemother is an abnormally large, and fucked up looking squee</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">potentially temporary name</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the other clayfoxes have long since scattered. leaving only brick, truffles, sweetie, and fizz to face it</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">the part ends here </span><strong>boss fight for this one is </strong><strong>“Defeat the Squeemother”</strong></li>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">NEW SPECIES:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">And now for the biggest announcement: introducing Clayfoxes!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/EPqn92E.png" alt="" width="800" height="476" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/EPqn92E.png">[full size]</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Clayfoxes are a species of small, tunnelling foxes adapted for digging! They also have a warrior subtype that are much larger and more imposing.<br />Their traits can be found <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/world/species/6/traits">here</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Clayfoxes use their own unique items. Their MYO slots are called <strong>Vessels</strong>, their add-ons are <strong>Diamonds</strong>, and their vouchers are <strong>Ambers!</strong> They also have their own specific redesign items.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The randomized MYO, Shattered Vessel, and the selfbreed MYO, Underglazed Vessel, are currently unable to be used. This will be updated soon, and the items are still able to be obtained.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unlike the other species on The Space Station, <strong>Clayfox items cannot be purchased in shops. </strong>Instead, to obtain them, you must craft them! The recipes will be automatically unlocked for all users. All crafting recipes require the equivalant item from another species, as well as crafting materials and crops. As such, they are more scarce than other species.</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Make sure to check which items from your inventory are being used before you hit 'craft'! With recipes that call for any item out of a small pool, you may use the inventory dropdown to deselect and reselect items as desired. If you do not do this, the recipe may use up something you wanted to keep!</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will not be refunding items used in crafting unintentionally. Be sure to pay attention.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Raffle design:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 3's raffle design can be seen below!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/characters/10/10849_OezzjPulVy_FJSrCoecolv0iCX_full.png" alt="" width="600" height="656" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">By <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/sugarsprink" class="display-user" style="color: #A371D9;"><i class="fas fa-meteor fa-shake mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>sugarsprink</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You can obtain one raffle ticket from the prize code at the end of the dialogue event. Additional tickets can be found through foraging!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 2's raffle design was won by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/aphe-lion" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>aphe-lion</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">MISC:</h2>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Image Blocking:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have installed an extension that allows you to block images on-site! To use it, go to your settings and enable it. This will add a button that allows you to block an image, which will blur it across the site for you. You can then safely disable the extension without re-enabling the images. We hope that this is a helpful accessibility tool for items and graphics that you may not wish to see, for one reason or another.</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Halloween Gacha:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">A raffle-to-pay form for slots on our Halloween gachas will be posted in our Discord server on October 29th, 2PM EST. Raffle to pay slots will then be rolled on the 30th at 2PM.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Slots for both the USD gacha and the CC Pet gacha will open at 2PM EST. Once everybody has paid, rolling will be done in our Discord server!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder, USD slots will be $30 each, and CC slots will be 2,500 Cloud Coins each.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Thank you all for reading! If you have any questions that are <strong>not</strong> addressed in this newsletter, feel free to ask us in the help channel of our Discord server!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The next part will be released on <strong>November 10th</strong>. We hope you all enjoy it!</p>]]>

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<p> </p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Adjustments to encounters</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>To start we'll be switching encounters from user based, to character based. </strong>This means users <strong>will</strong> have to own a character to do encounters from 11/10 onwards. There is multiple reasons for this. Characters may only be swapped <strong>3 times a day</strong>. And we will be lowering the base encounter energy from 5, to 3 (meaning (without the use of food) users with 3 or more characters will have a total of 9 energy, rather than 5 a day.).</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">We will be adding character jobs sometime after the new year. This will allow us to restrict encounters to characters with specific jobs, via an item in their inventory.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We can make failing encounters applies status effects to characters.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Most cheating in events is done via encounters. By requiring characters new accounts will be unable to do encounters, this will (hopefully) discourage people a bit more from cheating. Tell me your favorite cat breed underneth this bulletin. With how easy it is to obtain MYOs I dont forsee this being much of an issue for genuine new people.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">However, from now on for non-lore based encounter regions will have to be written in the perspective of the users characters rather than the npcs. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Advent calander</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We have decided to extend the advent encounter from 25 days, to the full 31. </strong>Meaning we will need a total of 8 GAs to fill those slots. If we cannot find enough GAs we want we will reopen 2nd claim slots for those who didn't recieve one. Please view the thread in ideas to help us choose!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hi everyone! Our first Intermission for the Disquiet event is here!<br /></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL.</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If you wish to read the newsletter without getting story spoilers, then we recommend reading the dialogue event first before scrolling!!</strong></h3>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>An Important Reminder:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We do not tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Multiaccounting, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">including getting friends to sign up just to send you items</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items</span>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately</span></li>
</ul>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out.

This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</span></li>
</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></h5>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Winter advent calander Guest Artists:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">First our winter advent has been extended from 25 days to the full 31! With that we've chosen 8 GAs to help us, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Bloodborne" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>Bloodborne</a>, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Chooliw" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>Chooliw</a>, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/ColdRising" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>ColdRising</a>, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/dadada_darling" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>dadada_darling</a>, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/hellpriest" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>hellpriest</a>, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/kingscreek" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>kingscreek</a>, <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Lunaray10" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>Lunaray10</a>, and <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/meow" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>meow</a> ! If you didn't get chosen this round we plan on having more GA opportunities soon! We'd like to host some GA only adopt batches in the future :]</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder claims for our annual winter advent calendar will go live on November 15th! There will be both raffle-to-pay slots and first-come, first-served slots. There will be 31 days to claim, and they will be $20 each.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The raffle to pay form will open on <span style="text-decoration:underline;">11/13 at 2pm EST</span>, and close and be rolled on <span style="text-decoration:underline;">11/14 2pm EST</span>. <br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The FCFS slots will open 11/15 at 2pm EST.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As usual, these will be themed mystery designs that will be revealed and distributed throughout December.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Adjustments to Encounters:</h2>
<p><strong>To start we'll be switching encounters from user based to character based. </strong>This means users <strong>will</strong> have to own a character to do encounters from this day onwards. Characters may only be swapped <strong>3 times a day,</strong> and they each have their own individual pool of energy. We will be lowering the base encounter energy from 5 to 3, meaning (without the use of food) users with 3 or more characters will have a total of 9 energy, rather than 5 a day. We have a few reasons for this but mostly:</p>
<ul>
<li>We will be adding character jobs sometime after the new year. This will allow us to restrict encounters to characters with specific jobs, via an item in their inventory.</li>
<li>We can make failing encounters apply status effects to characters.</li>
<li>Unfortunately, most cheating in events is done via encounters. By requiring characters new accounts will be unable to do encounters, this will (hopefully) discourage people a bit more from cheating. </li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a note setting your character for the first time <strong>will</strong> consume one of your daily character changes. We will also be slowly rewording encounters to be more in the perspective of characters, rather than NPCs.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Note that any items required to enter an encounter location must be in the selected character's inventory to enter it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Thank you all for reading! If you have any questions that are <strong>not</strong> addressed in this newsletter, feel free to ask us in the help channel of our Discord server!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The next part will be released on <strong>November 24th</strong>. We hope you all enjoy it!</p>]]>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">boss fights:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 3's boss was defeated with a final score of<strong> 25 points</strong>, far surpassing the required 15!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reward, everybody who participated by submitting an Unexpected Fright prompt will recieve <span style="text-decoration:underline;">100 Cloudcoins, 1 Carnivorous Plant Seed, and 1 Random Item Box!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 4's boss is <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>THE SQUEEMOTHER!</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Boss fights are goals that the community must work towards together. The 'boss', whether it be an enemy or a task to be completed, will have a site-wide health bar that can be depleted (or filled) by completing prompts! The next part will be released regardless of if the boss fight is completed, but if the boss is defeated before then, everybody who participated will be able to claim a reward!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Raffle design:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 4's raffle design can be seen below!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="img-fluid" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/characters/11/11261_ocTPVOvm5S_J23k0avc0Aha8nG_full.png" alt="" width="532" height="365" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">By <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/slug" class="display-user" style="color: #A371D9;"><i class="fas fa-meteor fa-shake mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>slug</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You can obtain one raffle ticket from the prize code at the end of the dialogue event. Additional tickets can be found through foraging!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 3's raffle design was won by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Lucky_cat_Frank" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fas fa-star mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>Lucky_cat_Frank</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Underglazed vesselS:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Underglazed Vessels, the selfbreeding MYOs for Clayfoxes, are now functional!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">These work a little differently from the other selfbreeds. Creating a slot will instead roll a pool of traits from the parents for you, similar to a random MYO. It will also generate a color palette suggestion, but you are <strong>not</strong> required to use it in your design so long as your character still resembles it's parents to a reasonable degree - it's just for fun! There is also a chance to generate twins.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">To create a slot, rather than opening the item from your inventory, you need to go to the <strong>pairings</strong> <strong>page, </strong>linked under 'play' on the navbar. You will have to attach your Underglazed Vessel and set the parents, and will also have the opportunity to attach a Lucky Charm.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you want to use a parent Clayfox owned by a user other than yourself, they will have to grant you a breeding permission. They can do this by going to the breeding permissions page accessible on the sidebar of the character's masterlist entry. All characters have 100 breeding permissions that you can grant or use - if you somehow run out, you can request more for free.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You will not be able to add or remove traits until after the kit design is already approved, but a Lucky Charm can be used whilst generating the slot to increase the odds of inheriting Mythical rarity traits.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you happen to roll a kit with an impossible set of traits (such as a tail modifier with no base tail shape) you can submit it to the<a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/7"> Random MYO Fixes prompt</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The way non-Clayfox selfbreedings work has not been changed in any way.</p>

<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">All characters now have a colors field on their masterlist entries. Some existing characters have had them automatically generated based on their images and some have not - we're unsure of why this is. This happened as a side effect of our update and we cannot find a correlation between characters with and without it.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">If you happen to want us to manually generate the palette on one of your characters you're free to ask us to, but it is completely optional and has no real function. Keep in mind these palettes may also pull from unusual places such as lineart, shading, or backgrounds and thus may not be truly representative of a characters' colours.</li>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">H<span style="font-weight:400;">i everyone! Our third Intermission for the Disquiet event is here!<br /></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL.</span></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>An Important Reminder:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We do not tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Multiaccounting, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">including getting friends to sign up just to send you items</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items</span>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hacking the website, or other people's accounts</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out. We do not tolerate it whatsoever, as it gives users an advantage over others. This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</span></li>
</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></h5>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dialogue Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Intermission 3 of the dialogue event can be read <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/disquiet-8">here</a>! Be sure to read it before </span><span style="font-weight:400;">participating in the event.<br /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;"><i class="fas fa-cloud-sun fa-bounce mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>GalacticRing</a>!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">SCAVENGER HUNT:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">For this intermission, we are hosting a small scavenger hunt! Each target contains a random prize, which can include crafting materials, Cloudcoins, or MYO items. There are <em>no</em> first-come, first-served prizes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14.4px;"><strong>Hunt targets can be found on any page that has text and is accessable by members of the site. This includes character notes, descriptions, and profiles. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14.4px;">Your first hint is: "<em>I heard the feline was quite young… go and check up above. Maybe he’s having some fun."</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14.4px;">The scavenger hunt will end on <strong>January 5th. </strong>You can track your progress <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/hunts/10">here</a>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">MISC:</h2>
<ul>
<li>In case you missed it, Transparency has been added as a new Fabled trait for Spacecats!</li>
<li>We recently noticed that selfbreed items were mistakenly still discounted from Peace and Love back in February. This has been corrected, and items will now cost full price once more.</li>
<li>Pet drop rates have been adjusted for balance reasons. Out of season seasonal pets no longer drop items.</li>
<li>The amount of clay needed to craft Clayfox MYOs has been dramatically increased for balance reasons, as there are extremely high quantities of clay in circulation at the moment.</li>
<li>The next part of Disquiet will be released on <strong>January 5th!</strong></li>
<li>We apologise for the number of delays that have occurred over the course of the past few months. Many of our senior staff members have been experiencing health struggles, which takes priority over species work.</li>

<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be having an intermission part before part 6 drops. This is to give everyone a bit of a break since everything has been so busy.</strong></h5>

<h5 style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The draft script for Part 5 is as follows, Part 6 and the epilogue will be done and added to this newsletter in the next few days.</span></h5>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Brick, Truffles, Sweetie, and Fizz manage to wound the Squeemother enough for it to flee, </span><span style="font-weight:400;">They do not kill it</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">As soon as it Flees they gather their bearings, and start trying to plan where to go next</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Truffles mentions an abandoned tunnel system in the distance and they start trekking there.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">On their way there fizz starts to recognize his surroundings, and states this is where he initially got left behind.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">He asks if they can take a quick detour to see if they can find whatever was originally sending out the distress signal.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Sweetie recognizes the area, there was a cave in there not long before Fizz arrived.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">She leads them to a small emergency exit tunnel, where they quickly find the source of the cave in.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Brick starts shifting stones and digging, eventually breaking through to a tunnel</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They find a clayfox corpse here, along with the device used to send out distress signals</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The twins and brick mourn the clayfox while Fizz tries to get the distress signal working again</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Eventually Fizz gets it functioning again, and sends out a new signal.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Switch to the port crew briefly, just show that they’ve received it and theyre even more antsy to get to Fizz.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Back to Fizz and co, they leave the tunnel and continue making their way towards the abandoned tunnel.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">At some point they meet up with some of the clayfoxes that scattered, and continue the journey together.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They arrive at the tunnel, and find a cave to settle down in. They begin to plan their next move since obviously they can't stay on the run forever.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">While planning Fizz sends out a 2nd distress signal, to update his location.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">They spend a few days planning and recouping in the cave.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">and then ygg arrives. This part ends here.</span></li>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>New Years USD + CC GACHA</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be hosting a USD &amp; CC Gacha on 1/15. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The USD gacha will be song based, and the CC gacha will be randomized MYOs slots with set color palettes. Sign ups will be in the discord server as always.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Guest Artist Batch</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be hosting a guest artist adopts batch on 1/31. Applications for this will go up on the 1st, and close on the 7th. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Valentines Day Mystery Adopts + Pet gacha</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be doing a batch of mystery adopts for valentines day, along with a pet gacha. We will open guest artists applications for the pet gacha on 2/1, and choose them on 2/4. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The mystery batch will work the same as always. This time everyone will have to design valentine's day mailbox (like people in public schooling in the US do, so the little shoe boxes with a slit in the top for people to put cards/candy in.). Whats your dream pet? Please don't make these horribly complex I will cry and shit my pants.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The pet gacha will work the same as the winter and halloween ones.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Next lore event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The next lore event will be hosted sometime in the summer of 2025. </strong>This will introduce the adoption center, along with making fabled traits purchasable.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The basic premise for this event is as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A natural disaster strikes soda planet leading to the loss of a ton of lives and their only orphanage being destroyed. Callie's parents die during this and she's sent to a port affiliated with port borealis that functions as an orphanage. Here she's adopted by either Moonbeam &amp; Goldie, or Tempest &amp; Halcyon. This will be decided via a Team event (like art fight). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be way shorter than Disquiet &amp; Over the Clouds. Im thinking around 3 parts.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Spring Seasonals:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We need to brainstorm things for spring seasonals!</strong> There will be threads in the discord server regarding this as always.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Staff cat changes:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If anyone would like to change their staff cat they may now contact me! You have until 1/1 to let me know.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Species artist applications:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>To help with the art workload we will be hiring artists from our community to do item art! </strong>Current staff will be allowed to pick up item art as they please but I thought this might help a bit! These applications will open on 1/1 and close on 1/7. From there we will discuss the applicants and get the server ready for our new staff!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Secret Santa [reminder]:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We'll be hosting a secret santa again this year! </strong>It will function the same as last year, users will get paired with each other and we'll keep track of everything via a spreadsheet. There will be a prompt to submit to, and a patch to earn. Instead of having one person DM everyone their partners we will be doing it via the port discord account, allowing all of the mods to help out with answering questions and such this time. </p>

                <![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF EXCLUSIVE NEWS/REMINDERS</strong> <span style="font-weight:400;">(December 2024 p2)</span></h1>
<h3><span style="font-weight:400;">General Reminders</span></h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> that any myos submitted have </span><strong>all </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">required traits! </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> (and double check if needed) that the image size of the MYO/redesign approval is </span><strong>2000x2000 pixels or smaller</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">, or the site will not accept it!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">that any CBCs have their source listed in the comments box</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">that any changes are listed in redesign approval</span></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Please remember to change the rarity of the myo after it is accepted on the masterlist!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>NEW:</strong> <strong>Please make sure to check over gallery submissions before accepting them! If they are for prompts ensure they meet minimum requirements for said prompt. Otherwise reject them and let the user know what they need to fix.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>General Notice</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Please remember to read staff bulletins and public newsletters thoroughly before performing any relevant staff work, and to re-read them if you find yourself forgetting anything. Please ensure you have re-read the relevant rules before finalising designs for adopts, gachas, or raffles.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">While this is not aimed at anybody in particular, and nobody is in trouble, there have been many recent incidents of things being processed incorrectly, adopts failing to meet stated guidelines, questions that are already answered in recent newsletters and bulletins, and information that seems to have been entirely missed.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I understand that sometimes errors inevitably occur, but this has become a recurring issue. I have had to start including questions in staff bulletins to guage how many of you are reading thoroughly, and have gotten a concerningly low turnout of comments in response. I am going to have to ask you all to <strong>please ensure you are reading everything <em>thoroughly</em> going forward,</strong> as I would rather this not become a bigger problem than it already is.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you're reading this, comment below with your current favorite movie.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Staff point reset/staff shop additions</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Like last year we will be resetting everyone's staff points to 0 on 1/1!</strong> Make sure to purchase everything you want to before then, you will recieve your december staff points after we reset everything!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">On top of that I have gone through and added multiple items/pets to the staff shop, I apologies for taking so long to update it. Add an emoji to your comment. I am aware that theres currently an issue where you cannot change the pet tabs for the most part, I will be attempting to fix that in the coming days.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And finally, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">from now on you will recieve staff points for any &amp; all art you do for the species (excluding USD adopts).</span> I've been meaning to do this for a while, but it kept slipping my mind. <em>This does mean that Guest Artists can now earn staff points as well.</em> You will recieve 5-20 (&amp; more for some outliers) staff points per art piece needed, depending on the complexity of the art needed. Items will generally be around 5. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">This will apply to writing encounters as well!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Winter Seasonals [Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will also be releasing items in chunks, rather than everything at once. You can view the schedule for that <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pJQKPaEvPaFFgWkKnen4kRcxS4p8H2CVMPKhpdyb3Kw/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>, along with sign up for anything that hasn't been claimed yet.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>As a reminder the next chunk of items is due on 31st. If you cannot finish any for any reason please let us know.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>New Years USD + CC GACHA </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be hosting a USD &amp; CC Gacha on 1/15. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The USD gacha will be song based, and the CC gacha will be randomized MYOs slots with set color palettes. Sign ups will be in the discord server as always.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Valentines Day Mystery Adopts + Pet gacha </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be doing a batch of mystery adopts for valentines day, along with a pet gacha. We will open guest artists applications for the pet gacha on 2/1, and choose them on 2/4. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The mystery batch will work the same as always. This time everyone will have to design valentine's day mailbox (like people in public schooling in the US do, so the little shoe boxes with a slit in the top for people to put cards/candy in.). Please don't make these horribly complex I will cry and shit my pants.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The pet gacha will work the same as the winter and halloween ones.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Next lore event </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The next lore event will be hosted sometime in the summer of 2025. </strong>This will introduce the adoption center, along with making fabled traits purchasable.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The basic premise for this event is as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A natural disaster strikes soda planet leading to the loss of a ton of lives and their only orphanage being destroyed. Callie's parents die during this and she's sent to a port affiliated with port borealis that functions as an orphanage. Here she's adopted by either Moonbeam &amp; Goldie, or Tempest &amp; Halcyon. This will be decided via a Team event (like art fight). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be way shorter than Disquiet &amp; Over the Clouds. Im thinking around 3 parts.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Spring Seasonals </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We need to brainstorm things for spring seasonals!</strong> There will be threads in the discord server regarding this as always.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Staff cat changes </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If anyone would like to change their staff cat they may now contact me! You have until 1/1 to let me know.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Species artist applications </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>To help with the art workload we will be hiring artists from our community to do item art! </strong>Current staff will be allowed to pick up item art as they please but I thought this might help a bit! These applications will open on 1/1 and close on 1/7. From there we will discuss the applicants and get the server ready for our new staff!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Secret Santa [reminder]:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We'll be hosting a secret santa again this year! </strong>It will function the same as last year, users will get paired with each other and we'll keep track of everything via a spreadsheet. There will be a prompt to submit to, and a patch to earn. Instead of having one person DM everyone their partners we will be doing it via the port discord account, allowing all of the mods to help out with answering questions and such this time. </p>
<p><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Event prompts</strong> are repeatable, and can be completed as many times as you want during the event's duration, in order to obtain resources and other items.

<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder, with the recent changes you will now need to own a character in order to use encounters. Without the use of food items, each character will recieve 3 energy per day, and you can change your character up 3 times per day. <strong>Rewards from encounters are now granted to the active character's inventory - </strong>remember to check there if you're unsure of where something may have gone!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Additionally, some encounters now have the chance to inflict status conditions onto characters. Some options on some encounters also require specific items to be in your character's inventory to be chosen.</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Raffle design:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 5's raffle design can be seen below!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="img-fluid" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/characters/11/11633_RtDOn8FpUx_7SLC25H2AKJMNlh_full.png" alt="" width="530" height="405" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">By <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;"><i class="fas fa-cloud-sun fa-bounce mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>GalacticRing</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You can obtain one raffle ticket from the prize code at the end of the dialogue event. Additional tickets can be found through foraging!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Part 4's raffle design was won by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/C-Side" class="display-user" style="color: #5F9F65;"><i class="fas fa-cloud fa-fade mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>C-Side</a> !</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Trait Adjustments/Reminders:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Multiple Shaped Clouds (CRC)/Unique Clouds (CRC):</strong> Shaped Clouds (multiple or unique) no longer requires the clouds to completely cover the tailtip. However, there still needs to be a shape close to that area, to show there was at least an effort! This is because some shapes are difficult to fully cover the tip, so we wished to give people some leeway!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Flat Soda (SDC)/Frozen Soda (SDC):</strong> Sodacats with Flat Soda or Frozen Soda do not require fizz at the tip of their tails! They can still have them, but it is not required!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Missing Head/Face (all):</strong> Previously, it was required that all characters with this trait still have ears (or horns, for Guppymanders). However, from now on, <strong>so long as the head is completely missing or replaced,</strong> ears/horns are no longer required. <strong>If just the face is missing, and the rest of the head is present, ears/horns must still be there!!</strong></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Shaped Tail (CRC):</strong> If the Cirrocanius has a Shaped Tail, and the tailtip is made of fur (or other non-sky material), then clouds must be present at the "tip" of the sky portion!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">misc:</h2>
<ul>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>GACHA ADJUSTMENTS</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Gachas will mostly stay functioning the same however we will be adjusting two things:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align:left;">There will be a sign up sheet from now on, rather than everyone just stating their claim in a thread. This is just so things are a bit easier to find in the threads/its a bit cleaner.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">If the amount of people who want to do 2nd claims would make the amount of designs exceed 35 by a decent bit we'll do a raffle to see who can/can't. </li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>CC gacha:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We uh. totally forgot about the cc gacha on the 15th. We didnt even announce it. So that will go out at the same time as the pet gacha. Same as always, randomized MYO slots with set palletes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Poly breeding batches:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be doing our annual poly breeding batches for Febuary! </strong>If you'd like to participate sign up <a href="https://forms.gle/ks3UFL87mxWmqa917">here</a>! We will be doing 10 slots this year, if more than 10 people sign up we'll do a raffle to see who can/can't do a batch.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>p2u/f2u tss bases:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Info for these is located in the resources channel in the mod server! </strong>If youre interested in making any bases feel free to sign up!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>TSS TCG</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">At the beginning of the month I porposed we should make a TSS TCG, after some thinking I've decided we should go through with it. For now, this will just be collectable cards but I do plan to make a tabletop simulator mod and potentially add a feature to the site itself. If you have any ideas for the TCG at all (cards, attacks, gear, etc.) please feel free to throw that in the thread! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Winter Seasonals [Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will also be releasing items in chunks, rather than everything at once. You can view the schedule for that <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pJQKPaEvPaFFgWkKnen4kRcxS4p8H2CVMPKhpdyb3Kw/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>, along with sign up for anything that hasn't been claimed yet.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>As a reminder the next chunk of items is due on 31st. If you cannot finish any for any reason please let us know.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Spring Seasonals </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We need to brainstorm things for spring seasonals!</strong> There will be threads in the discord server regarding this as always. These threads will be gone through and have things finalized in the next few days!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Valentines Day Mystery Adopts + Pet gacha </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be doing a batch of mystery adopts for valentines day, along with a pet gacha. We will open guest artists applications for the pet gacha on 2/1, and choose them on 2/4. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The mystery batch will work the same as always. This time everyone will have to design valentine's day mailbox (like people in public schooling in the US do, so the little shoe boxes with a slit in the top for people to put cards/candy in.). Please don't make these horribly complex I will cry and shit my pants.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The pet gacha will work the same as the winter and halloween ones.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Next lore event </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The next lore event will be hosted sometime in the summer of 2025. </strong>This will introduce the adoption center, along with making fabled traits purchasable.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The basic premise for this event is as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A natural disaster strikes soda planet leading to the loss of a ton of lives and their only orphanage being destroyed. Callie's parents die during this and she's sent to a port affiliated with port borealis that functions as an orphanage. Here she's adopted by either Moonbeam &amp; Goldie, or Tempest &amp; Halcyon. Tell me your favorite oc's name. This will be decided via a Team event (like art fight). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be way shorter than Disquiet &amp; Over the Clouds. Im thinking around 3 parts.</p>

                <![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF EXCLUSIVE NEWS/REMINDERS</strong> <span style="font-weight:400;">(March 2025)</span></h1>
<h3><span style="font-weight:400;">General Reminders</span></h3>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>April Fools Adopt batch:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be doing a batch of adopts for april fools. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">These will be flatsales. $10-15 each. These will be <strong>chibis. </strong>The image revealed to the public will be traced over silly images of cats/dogs/foxes (for examples see <a href="https://discord.com/channels/972655378108153967/1327134704339779594">this thread</a>). So you will be required to draw 2 images for each character, the masterlist image (chibi) and the trace over.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>These are due 3/30.</strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Spring hunt:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Like last year we will also be hosting a spring scavanger hunt in</strong> <strong>april. This will be hosted from april 17th, till the 19th. </strong>(Items will remain claimable until the 24th)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It will work the same as last year (seen <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/news/42.spring-hunt-day-1">here</a>.) We will be opening up Guest Artist applications when the next part of disquiet drops later this month, we will need a total of 12 designs (8 from GAs, 4 from our team). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This years themes will be the following:<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong> plastic figures</strong></span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>clothing items</strong></span>, and <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>plushies</strong>.</span> Each of these themes will require 8 total items.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A sign up sheet is located <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FbMLPD1wDS32CUXuNFuGZhZ-ts5jWyivQtf0YXOk41o/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>. All art will be due april 15th!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>proposed new traits [REMINDER]:</strong></h2>
<h5>Sodacats:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Bottled
<ul>
<li>Fabled</li>
<li>Glass over soda. Doesn't have to be entirely full.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5> </h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder we still need fabled trait ideas! I will be bumping the thread along with this. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>TSS TCG [Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">At the beginning of the month I porposed we should make a TSS TCG, after some thinking I've decided we should go through with it. For now, this will just be collectable cards but I do plan to make a tabletop simulator mod and potentially add a feature to the site itself. What is the worst game you've ever played? If you have any ideas for the TCG at all (cards, attacks, gear, etc.) please feel free to throw that in the thread! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Next lore event </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The next lore event will be hosted sometime in the summer of 2025. </strong>This will introduce the adoption center, along with making fabled traits purchasable.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The basic premise for this event is as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A natural disaster strikes soda planet leading to the loss of a ton of lives and their only orphanage being destroyed. Callie's parents die during this and she's sent to a port affiliated with port borealis that functions as an orphanage. Here she's adopted by either Moonbeam &amp; Goldie, or Tempest &amp; Halcyon. This will be decided via a Team event (like art fight). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be way shorter than Disquiet &amp; Over the Clouds. Im thinking around 3 parts.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">That's all for now!</li>

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL.</span></h1>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items</span>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately</span></li>
</ul>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out. We do not tolerate it whatsoever, as it gives users an advantage over others. This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</span></li>
</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></h5>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/awandiv.gif" alt="" width="300" height="20" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dialogue Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The final part of the dialogue event can be read <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/disquiet-12">here</a>! Be sure to read it before </span><span style="font-weight:400;">participating in the event.<br /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;"><i class="fa-duotone fa-stars fa-bounce mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>GalacticRing</a>!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/awandiv.gif" alt="" width="300" height="20" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Prompts:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Here are the new prompts for the epilogue! As a reminder:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Story prompts</strong> must be completed in order, and can only be completed once per person. They must also be completed by you. While you can include other users' characters (with permission), the focal character(s) must be your own and other users cannot submit your drawing to the prompt.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Event prompts</strong> are repeatable, and can be completed as many times as you want during the event's duration, in order to obtain resources and other items. Other people can fulfill event prompts for you, as long as they feature your characters! Be sure to read the <strong>prompt rules thoroughly.</strong></p>
<h4><strong><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/63">Story Prompt:</a><br /></strong></h4>
<p>Show your Space Station character(s) on their way home!</p>
<h5>Rules:</h5>
<ul>
<li>If drawing for this prompt, it <strong>MUST</strong> be at least a shaded fullbody with a simple scene background!</li>
<li>If writing for this prompt, it <strong>MUST</strong> be a minimum of 750 words!</li>
<li>This prompt <strong>MUST</strong> be completed by the character owner</li>
<li><strong>This prompt can only be completed once!</strong></li>
<li>Your piece <strong>MUST</strong> be submitted to the <strong>event gallery AND Event prompt</strong>! (As well as when submitting the prompt, you'll need to link to the gallery submission. Gallery submissions can still be linked to before official approval/while pending, so there should be no reason you can't link it when submitting your piece! <strong>Prompt submissions with outside links like Discord, sta.sh, etc. will be rejected.</strong>)</li>
</ul>
<h5>Rewards:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Disquiet Patch</li>
<li>500 cc</li>
<li>20 user exp</li>
<li>20 character exp</li>
<li>1x Uncommon MYO Choice Box++</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/awandiv.gif" alt="" width="300" height="20" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Awan Cleanup:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Beginning now, you can participate in cleaning up the radiation from Awan by completing prompts!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is a goal that the community must work together to accomplish. Each submission to the relevant prompts will contribute to the site-wide progress bar, and those participating will recieve tokens for their efforts! Each prompt will yield at least one token, but going above the minimum requirements may grant you more. Starting with the beginning of phase 2, there will be a shop where you can turn in your tokens for items! There will be three phases in all.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There are two types of prompts that you can complete: <strong>repeatable prompts</strong>, which work the same way as event and seasonal prompts, and <strong>once-per-character prompts,</strong> which can be completed once per character and award a patch to their profiles! Each prompt has limitations on which species can complete them, so be sure to read the rules carefully!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The cleanup event and prompts will remain open until all three phases are completed, at which point there will be a followup story!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Spring hunt [reminder]:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Like last year we will also be hosting a spring scavanger hunt in</strong> <strong>april. This will be hosted from april 17th, till the 19th. </strong>(Items will remain claimable until the 24th)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It will work the same as last year (seen <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/news/42.spring-hunt-day-1">here</a>.) We will be opening up Guest Artist applications when the next part of disquiet drops later this month, we will need a total of 12 designs (6 from GAs, 6 from our team). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This years themes will be the following:<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong> plastic figures</strong></span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>clothing items</strong></span>, and <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>plushies</strong>.</span> Each of these themes will require 8 total items.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A sign up sheet is located <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FbMLPD1wDS32CUXuNFuGZhZ-ts5jWyivQtf0YXOk41o/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>. All art will be due april 15th!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>proposed new traits [REMINDER]:</strong></h2>
<h5>Sodacats:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Bottled
<ul>
<li>Fabled</li>
<li>Glass over soda. Doesn't have to be entirely full.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5> </h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder we still need fabled trait ideas! I will be bumping the thread along with this. What's 2x4. Incorrect answers only.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>TSS TCG [Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">At the beginning of the month I proposed we should make a TSS TCG, after some thinking I've decided we should go through with it. For now, this will just be collectable cards but I do plan to make a tabletop simulator mod and potentially add a feature to the site itself. If you have any ideas for the TCG at all (cards, attacks, gear, etc.) please feel free to throw that in the thread! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Next lore event </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The next lore event will be hosted sometime in the summer of 2025. </strong>This will introduce the adoption center, along with making fabled traits purchasable.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The basic premise for this event is as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A natural disaster strikes soda planet leading to the loss of a ton of lives and their only orphanage being destroyed. Callie's parents die during this and she's sent to a port affiliated with port borealis that functions as an orphanage. Here she's adopted by either Moonbeam &amp; Goldie, or Tempest &amp; Halcyon. This will be decided via a Team event (like art fight). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be way shorter than Disquiet &amp; Over the Clouds. Im thinking around 3 parts.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">You can now convert staff points into cloudcoins, this is done via your bank. The conversion rate is 1 staff point to 10 cloudcoins.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">That's all for now!</li>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Designs needed:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We need more designs for booster raffles and pay to enter raffles! If anyone is able to we'd really appreciate some more designs for those two things</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Pride event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We'll be hosting a small pride event in June! It'll consist of a small dialogue event, a "horse race" type event that will be livestreamed, a small handful of prompts, and a small handful of new items. Items from last years pride month event will become craftable again. There will be a planning thread in the ideas channel of the mod server!</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Pride Adopt Batch/pet gacha:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>We will be doing a batch of mystery adopts for pride month, along with a pet gacha. We will open guest artists applications for the pet gacha today, and choose them on 5/5. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The mystery batch will work the same as always, however theres a slight twist: every design must have the companions trait. The adopt post will show off <em>only</em> the companions. Please don't make these horribly complex I will cry and keel over.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Flags may be duplicated, but must be unique species. (Ex: there may be 3 lesbian flag designs, but they may not all be spacecats.)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The pet gacha will work the same as the previous ones. With similar rules to the above pride adopt batch.</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Past event prompt reruns:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">From now on, on an events anniversary month, we will be rerunning the story prompts for it! This is so past event patches are accessable to newer users (or older users that wernt able to finish on time).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>proposed new traits [REMINDER]:</strong></h2>
<h5>Sodacats:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Bottled
<ul>
<li>Fabled</li>
<li>Glass over soda. Doesn't have to be entirely full. Are you a horse race test (hrt) fan?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bubbles
<ul>
<li>Common</li>
<li>Floating bubbles around sodacats/guppymanders</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Rainy Sky
<ul>
<li>Rare</li>
<li>Drippy sky</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder we still need fabled trait ideas! I will be bumping the thread along with this.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>TSS TCG [Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">I proposed we should make a TSS TCG, after some thinking I've decided we should go through with it. For now, this will just be collectable cards but I do plan to make a tabletop simulator mod and potentially add a feature to the site itself. If you have any ideas for the TCG at all (cards, attacks, gear, etc.) please feel free to throw that in the thread! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Next lore event </strong><strong>[Reminder]</strong><strong>:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The next lore event will be hosted sometime in the summer of 2025. </strong>This will introduce the adoption center, along with making fabled traits purchasable.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The basic premise for this event is as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A natural disaster strikes soda planet leading to the loss of a ton of lives and their only orphanage being destroyed. Callie's parents die during this and she's sent to a port affiliated with port borealis that functions as an orphanage. Here she's adopted by either Moonbeam &amp; Goldie, or Tempest &amp; Halcyon. This will be decided via a Team event (like art fight). </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This will be way shorter than Disquiet &amp; Over the Clouds. Im thinking around 3 parts.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">That's all for now!</li>

<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder, <em>This is a goal that the community must work together to accomplish.</em> Each submission to the relevant prompts will contribute to the site-wide progress bar, and those participating will recieve tokens for their efforts! Each prompt will yield at least one token, but going above the minimum requirements may grant you more. There will be three phases in all.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There are two types of prompts that you can complete:<strong> repeatable prompts</strong>, which work the same way as event and seasonal prompts, and <strong>once-per-character prompts</strong>, which can be completed once per character and award a patch to their profiles! <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Each prompt has limitations on which species can complete them, so be sure to read the rules carefully!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The cleanup event and prompts will remain open until all three phases are completed, at which point there will be a followup story!</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>The Invisible Game of Fate:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">The draft script for The Invisible Game of Fate is basically complete at this point. The only thing still needing to be drafted is the epilogue. We need to finish planning the rest of the event now, so crafting &amp; cooking items/recipes, a handful more of fabled traits and items for all the fabled traits, foraging/encounter locations, and rules and regulations for the adoption center. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>This event will be starting on August 1st. Giving us about a month to complete all the art. </strong>Due to the small amount of time we have to do so, we will not be requiring many cooking/crafting recipes for this event. Around 2-3 per part for a maximum of <strong>9 cooking/crafting items</strong>. We will not be including any craftable items in the prologue or epilogue. We will also only be requiring <strong>2 foraging/encounter locations</strong>. One for part 2 and one for part 3. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will also require <strong>8 prompts</strong> for this event. <strong>5 story prompts, and 3 event prompts. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will plan these over the next 3 days, and then on the 26th art sign ups will be going out for art related to this event. A 2nd sign up will go out for adoption center designs at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The planning doc for this event can be found here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KMjX0g2JWKsS7BPDxQJiiXsGWmdR4EpUzfeTKxIL2OA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.txjuh5eo24al">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KMjX0g2JWKsS7BPDxQJiiXsGWmdR4EpUzfeTKxIL2OA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.txjuh5eo24al</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It will also be pinned in the planning thread.</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>ArtFight Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We are hosting another artfight event this year, it will function the same as last years pretty much with the addition of a small scavenger hunt. As a refresh:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">We will have a small dialogue event</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Users can sort themselves into tearms</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Team tokens will be making a return, which will be given out to users who participate in artfight and submit their tss related art fight attacks to the site.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">All submissions to the Artfight gallery (and relevent prompt) will recieve 1.2x cloudcoins.
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">This year however every <strong>5</strong> submissions will reward users a random item box</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Submissions have a chance to drop artfight boxes.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We will have a mystery design that users will recieve tickets for by submitting attacks on site</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">A small event shop will open with the following items: Artfight boxes,Themed pets, Crystal &amp; Fossil collectibles, and team boxes for those who want to collect the other teams patch/border.
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Artfight boxes contain crafting materials, myo items, new fossil/crystal themed variants of existing pets or past event borders/pets/etc.! They may also drop nothing.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Users will require the "Treasure Map" item to access the shop, which they recieve for reading the dialogue event.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The team that has the most points at the end of the event will be able to submit to a specific prompt to claim a myth MYO choice box++!
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">To be eligible for this reward users must submit at least one art fight attack on-site</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Sweetie will be the representative of Team Fossils and Truffles will rep for Team Crystals.</span></p>
<h5 style="text-align:left;">Draft Script:</h5>
<ul>
<li>awan cleanup is going well so sweetie, truffles, and brick are setting up an underground treasure hunt for the younger clayfoxes</li>
<li>brick will be hiding everything, and sweetie and truffles will be splitting the younger clayfoxes that join into two groups (team fossils and team crystals)</li>
<li>whichever team finds everything the fastest wins</li>
<li>while brick hides everything, sweetie and truffles collect the clayfoxes that were interested and bring them to a large cavern</li>
<li>truffles and sweetie end up getting into an argument about which find is better, fossils or crystals</li>
<li>while theyre bickering brick returns, meaning the hunt is ready to start</li>
<li>they stop their bickering and do the whole “let the best team win” thing</li>
</ul>
<h5>Epilogue:</h5>
<ul>
<li>the hunt ends and whichever team won on site is declared the winner</li>
<li>sweetie and truffles tussle a bit lightheartedly</li>
<li>brick separates the two by putting a paw on each of them and they laugh<br /><br /></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">As for the scavenger hunt, there will be 6 targets. Each target should be a treasure chest. These can all be the same image, or whoever ends up claiming them may make several if they want. What team are you choosing for artfight if youre participating? Each chest will include 1 team token, and a random item (same item pool as the artfight box).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Due to the limited amount of art needed for this event we will be using a google form to select who will be doing what. This form will close in a little under 24 hours and i will let everyone know their assignments once it's closed.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This form is located here: <a href="https://forms.gle/Sv1DBAAvguHypsbS7">https://forms.gle/Sv1DBAAvguHypsbS7</a></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>ArtFight themed gacha:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>There are 20 slots for this gacha, </strong>10 will go to staff members and 10 will go to guest artists. Each design will be based on one of the artfight themes. Due to the limited amount of themes we will have to choose who gets to do what via a raffle, since themes will not be able to be duplicated. As a note, due to spronk being unavailable when this gacha will be due she has taken the Werewolf theme.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Signup form located here: <a href="https://forms.gle/RWBmXWBEBWaBxyhL7">https://forms.gle/RWBmXWBEBWaBxyhL7</a><br />This will close in around 24 hours. Duedate for these is <strong>July 30th.</strong> This gacha will be hosted on <strong>July 31st.</strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Pride event extension:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Due to the site shitting itself to death at reset almost everyday we will be extending the foraging and encounter locations an extra week. Prompts will still close at the previous stated time.</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Changes to Art Deadlines:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">From now on all seaonal art must be done <strong>one week</strong> before the month ends. This is so we do not have to find replacement artists so close to the end of the month and rush everything. <strong>If you do not show us a wip the art you applied for will be reassigned to someone else.</strong> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This goes for event art too, but the due date will be <strong>one week before the first part OR prologue of the event goes live</strong>. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items</span>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</span></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out. We do not tolerate it whatsoever, as it gives users an advantage over others. This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</span></li>
</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></h5>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dialogue Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The dialogue event can be read <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/TIGoF-1">here</a>! This is the prologue to the larger story, and more parts will be posted as the event progresses! There is also a prize code at the end!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The dialogue event was written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/GalacticRing" class="display-user" style="color: #D24B4B;"><i class="fa-duotone fa-stars fa-bounce mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>GalacticRing</a>.</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Future Content:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">As this is the prologue, there is nothing aside from the dialogue this time around! Things like new foraging locations, as well as prompts, will be dropping with every new update!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;"> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The next part will be released on August 22nd</span>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">While this event will be significantly shorter than Disquiet, we hope you enjoy it!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>New traits:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unrelated, to the event, we're adding three new traits with this update!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Simple Dust Pattern [SC]: </strong>An uncommon modifier trait for simple patterns in spacedust, such as specifically placed streaks, rainbows, and flat, non-repeating shapes. Detailed cloud patterns also now fall under this trait, unless there are also other sky elements such as moons present.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Sky Scenery [CRC]:</strong> A common modifier trait to add features of a sky scene to the sky, such as rainbows, suns, moons, and stars. 'Rainbows' can be considered to be any streak with multiple stripes of color besides the standard seven-colour rainbow, including pride flags. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Simple Sky Pattern [CRC]: </strong>An uncommon modifier trait for simple patterns in sky, such as streaks and specifically placed non-repeating shapes.  Does not include anything that falls under Sky Scenery.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We are currently in the process of updating pre-existing characters to reflect these new traits, and should hopefully have everything up to date in the coming days. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Miscellaneous:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>As a reminder, we recently updated the rules in our Discord server! Please re-familiarise yourself if you haven't already.</li>
<li>We've added new inventory categories for flowers and boxes.</li>
<li>The closure of the Art Fight shop and the reveal of the winning team has been pushed back to the 22nd. Sorry for the inconvenience! <strong>Remember to spend your tokens by then, as they will be deleted afterwards without being converted to another currency.</strong></li>
<li>Some characters' dialogue sprites are in the process of being updated! You may see them switch between old and new art during dialogue events until all expressions are completed.</li>

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>The Invisible Game of Fate [Adoption center]:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Due to the massive amount of work for the next part of The Invisible Game of Fate needs to setup, this round of event setup will require a lot more time and help than usual. As a reminder, tomorrow (9/15) we will be closing down the MYO/Redesign queue. I will be setting up the Port Chrysanthemum account as well, with a temporary username to avoid users finding it. Starting tomorrow we will begin uploading all of the adoption center designs. Placeholders will be created for all of the current ones so that everyone can work at the same time, and any that are created past tomorrow will be individually added to the masterlist as they're created. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Everyone may help with this, and will recieve staff points for their help. This includes both guest artists and species artists.</span> As of typing this we have around 80 designs to upload so far. I will ping everyone once we're ready to start tomorrow. <strong>For today please try to focus on getting as many myos out of the queue as possible. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A 2nd newsletter will be made on the 19th, detailing how to process adoption center submissions and surrenders. As a reminder we will also be enabling the transfer queue, so characters will require staff approval to be transferred between each other. This is to make sure no one breaks any cooldown rules.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder you still have until the 18th to submit any adoption center designs you create! </p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>MYO Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Along with the adoption center opening, we will be hosting a free MYO event. Details are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Users will get a free common myo (any species, aside from clayfoxes) for commenting on a toyhou.se bulletin. </li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Sharing the toyhou.se bulletin will upgrade the common myo to an uncommon one.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">+ 1 rare trait per person the user pings, with a limit of 4.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">If the user does all of the above, and also pings the max limit of 4 people they will also get + 1 myth trait.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The user will submit to a prompt and link their comment to claim the MYO</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">MYO slots will have to be manually uploaded, since we will have to note the amount of extra traits everyone gets, along with making the slot account bound.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">This MYO event will last <strong>1 month</strong>, from 9/19 until 10/19.</li>
</ul>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Halloween event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will be hosting a small halloween event this year, this point of this event is to show callie settling in with her new adoptive parents (tempest &amp; halcyon). Details are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Short dialogue event
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">The draft script for this is incomplete as of now, but the basic plan is tempest and hal will bring callie to specific haunted house locations run by the NPCs, and they do small tasks to get rewards.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We will be doing doors this year, meaning staff will manually have to give out rewards. Everyone may help out with this, including the guest &amp; species artists. You will of course be rewarded staff points for this.
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">2 Standard doors and 1 Guess the Number door. </li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Standard doors have 1 jackpot a day per door, one door will give out designs and the 2nd will give out fabled choice boxes. Any designs not hit by the end of the event will be raffled off.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We will require 17 designs for this, 8 staff designs and 9 GA designs. A guest artist form will be created and sent out on the 19th. Everyone give me your favorite number.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">A small event shop</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">One prompt
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Draw/write about your character dressing up</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Can be completed once per character, grants a character patch</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">First submission also grants a user a patch.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">This event will be hosted starting<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> October 24th, and last until October 31st</span>. A signup thread for designs and art will be placed in the resources thread shortly. More info on how this event will actually be run will be either placed into another staff newsletter, or a discord ping closer to the event start date.</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Halloween USD gacha &amp; Livestream:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We'll be hosting a USD gacha sometime in october, closer to the end. I will make a thread in the discord server, trying to figure out what time and date works best for everyone. We will be using the PNGtubers + reactive PNGs again for this!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The plan is to roll the gacha live on stream, and then do puzzles and potentially a shitty roblox horror game after we get sick of puzzles. We will be doing a charity stream for the children's relief fund, and people can donate to choose what image we do for a puzzle next. Supporters will be able to pick a handful of inital images for us, just so we have some to do while we wait to (hopefully) get donations.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Depending on how many people we have interested in joining in for the stream, and if everyone has tabletop simulator (or is willing to purchase it) we can also have a donation option to flip the table and fuck with us. If anyone is willing to contribute prizes for donation goals that would be great too! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A gacha sign up thread will be created shortly.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">We will be axing mythical items from encounters starting from the 19th on.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">As a reminder our winter advent calendar is coming up! We will have a sign up for it sometime in October, and staff slots will be picked on the 24th of October (the same days the GA sign ups go out).</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">There has been a idea thread regarding the Golem subtype of clayfoxes that will be out on the 19th, please read over it and give input if you have any!</li>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Port Chrysanthemum Opening:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Port Chrysanthemum is now open for business!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Port Chrysanthemum is an adoption center that allows you to purchase characters for currency! Our staff and guest artists have worked hard to create over 100 designs for the initial stock. You can surrender unwanted character, and each month you may claim up to three free MYOs in order to create new designs for the Port, both in exchange for currency. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Designs created using Port Chrysanthemum MYOs go through the approval queue like any other character, but will be immediately surrendered upon approval. All rules can be found in the description of both the item and the slot itself, so be sure to read them carefully. Beyond the three Port Chrysanthemum MYOs per month, you can also use your own items to create designs for the Port so long as you specify in the comments that that is your intention.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Each user may claim up to 4 designs from Port Chrysanthemum each month, with a cooldown of 24 hours in between. This may be adjusted in the future.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you surrender a character that has a Toyhou.se profile, please send a transfer to TheSpaceStation on Toyhou.se and let us know. If you purchase a character with a Toyhou.se profile you can submit a claim on-site to have it transferred to you.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Port can be accessed through the World dropdown menu, and will be permanently open.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Starbits:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Starbits have been introduced as a new currency! They are primarily used in Port Chrysanthemum, and are required to purchase designs.</p>
<h6 style="text-align:left;"><strong>Starbits can be obtained through the following methods:</strong></h6>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Surrendering characters to Port Chrysanthemum</strong>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Common characters surrender for 150 SB</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Uncommon characters surrender for 200 SB</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Rare characters surrender 250 SB</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Mythical characters surrender for 350 SB</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Fabled characters surrender for 550 SB
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Each Fabled trait past the first will grant and additional 50 SB</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>There is a cooldown of 2 months before you may surrender designs obtained through non-mystery raffles, and a 1 month cooldown for any other character. You must also wait at least two weeks after redesigning a character to surrender it.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Creating designs for Port Chrysanthemum, up to 3 per month</strong>
<ul>
<li>Each approved design will grant 150 SB, regardless of rarity</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Selling unwanted Mythical items from your inventory</strong>
<ul>
<li>Mythical add-ons (Essences/Vouchers/Syrups/Sugars/Diamonds/Ambers) sell for 25 SB each</li>
<li>Mythical MYOs sell for 50 SB each</li>
<li>You can sell an unlimited number of these items.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Monthly Madness may now grant Starbits instead of Cloud Coins!</strong>
<ul>
<li>Details can be found in the Monthly Madness section below.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Starbit Exchange &amp; Fabled Traits:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">In addition to Port Chrysanthemum, Starbits can be used in a new shop - the Starbit Exchange!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Starbit Exchange can be used to obtain rare items, <strong>including new items that allow you to add Fabled traits to MYOs!</strong> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unlike other rarity tiers, each Fabled trait requires its own specific item to use. These items can be used on both new MYOs and redesigns. You can purchase both choice boxes and random boxes from the Starbit Exchange, at a limited quantity per month.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">To go with this, we have introduced new Fabled traits for each species! For information, please see the trait descriptions and the visual trait guide.</p>
<h6 style="text-align:left;"><strong>Spacecats:</strong></h6>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Planet Tail</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Aurora Tail</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Moon Cycle Eyes</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Black Hole</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Starless has also had its rarity upgraded</li>
</ul>
<h6><strong>Sodacats:</strong></h6>
<ul>
<li>Bottled</li>
<li>Foam Replacement</li>
<li>Bubble Tail</li>
<li>Aquatic Tail has also been added as an uncommon trait</li>
</ul>
<h6><strong>Guppymanders:</strong></h6>
<ul>
<li>Translucent Skin</li>
<li>Connected Horns</li>
<li>No Whiskers</li>
<li>Aquarium</li>
<li>Ethereal Smoke</li>
</ul>
<h6>Cirrocanius:</h6>
<ul>
<li>Fullbody Vortex</li>
<li>Rainbow Vortex</li>
<li>Thundercloud Tail</li>
</ul>
<h6>Clayfoxes:</h6>
<ul>
<li>Raptor Claws</li>
<li>All Clay</li>
<li>Mineral Deposit</li>
<li>They also have a new subtype, detailed below! It has its own unique Fabled trait, Multi Core.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Golem Subtype:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Clayfoxes have a new subtype: Golems! They are considered a Fabled trait.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/WBW0c40.png" alt="" width="605" height="365" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A new trait category has been added for their required Core traits, usable only on this subtype.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Monthly Madness Rework:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Monthly Madness has been updated! You now have the option to obtain either Cloud Coins <strong>or</strong> Starbits from Monthly Madness submissions. Both will be granted via criteria, as with before, and you will have to add the criteria for your preferred currency choice when you make your submission.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In order to balance this, Monthly Madness submissions are now limited to up to three characters per piece. Written pieces will only be rewarded for the first 1,500 words. Gift and staff art bonuses do not apply to Starbits. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">At the moment, it is only accepting non-animated 2D art and writing.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Free MYO event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We're also hosting a free MYO event to help promote TSS to new users :)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">All users can claim a free common MYO for any species of their choice (except Clayfoxes) by commenting on <a href="https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/2855242.free-myo-event-91925-101925">this Toyhou.se bulletin</a> and then submitting to <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/94">this prompt</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">By sharing the bulletin (and providing a link in your comment), you can get it upgraded to an uncommon MYO! You can also get +1 rare trait for pinging a friend, up to a limit of four. By doing all of the above, you can get it upgraded to a myth MYO.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">These MYO slots will be account bound, meaning you cannot trade them.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This event will last <strong>1 month until October 19th!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Miscellaneous:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>The site has been updated to use a queue for character transfers! This now means that character transfers have to be approved by a staff member. </li>
<li>Pet variants are now treated like their own pets, this doesnt really effect anything aside from visuals!</li>
<li>We have made temporary anatomy guides for each species! These can be found with the site guides <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/world/info/Guides">here</a>. They will be updated with more detailed and polished guides at a later date!</li>
<li>Foraging and Encounters should now no longer be able to drop Myth items, for balancing reasons.</li>
<li>Potfox now has a new masterlist image.</li>
<li>The NPCs/Staff Sonas page has been updated with new icons for each NPC.</li>
<li>Legendary Boxes from Harbinger pets may now be opened!</li>
<li>All of our guest artists have been granted some Starbits as a thank-you for their hard work.</li>
<li>MYO submissions have now been reopened! Thank you for your patience.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">That's all for now! The epilogue for this event will release on <strong>October 3rd. </strong>Thank you for reading and if you have any questions that are not addressed in this newsletter, feel free to ask us in the help channel of our Discord server!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Events:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We'll be taking a long break from lore events for a while to cool down from the back to back ones we've had recently.

Aside from our standard events (valentines day, april fools, pride, art fight, and halloween) we will be hosting 1 new event. I would like to do our card game event at some point after the new year, likely in May sometime. Unsure yet, we'll figure out a date after all assets are complete AND the script is done.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Winter SEASONALS:</h2>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">New Traits:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have a few new traits for you all!</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Object Body:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">Object Body has been split from Large Mutation and is now its own Fabled trait, available for every species.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This trait allows for the body to be partially or entirely shaped like an inanimate object. Does <strong>not</strong> include objects attached to or inserted into a regular, natural body, which remain traited as they were before. Characters must still have faces/otherwise be visibly alive, as opposed to being entirely inanimate.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">All characters that previously used Large Mutation to achieve this have been updated accordingly.</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Soda, Sky, and Clay Eyes:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">Soda, Sky, and Clay Eyes are now available as Mythical traits for Sodacats, Cirrocanius, and Clayfoxes respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This trait works identically to Spacedust Eyes on Spacecats, allowing for the eyes to be partly or entirely made of their respective substances. Allows for the use of Blank Eyes at no extra charge.</p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;">Jellyfish Tail:</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">Available as a rare trait for Guppymanders. Allows for a tail shaped like a jellyfish, including both the bell and the tentacles.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Queues:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Random MYO fixes, poly selfbreed rollers, and DIY pet variant submissions have all been moved from prompts into their own queues.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">These can be accessed from the navbar, under Play -&gt; Queues.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Staff Applications:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We are looking to take on at least one more new Helper for 2026! </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you are hired, you will be given a 3-6 month trial period. After this period is over, you will either be offered a position as a full moderator or let go. We ask that you do not apply if you feel you would take it personally to not get a full position - sometimes things just don't work out.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Please keep in mind that this is an unpaid position</strong>, however all staff members are compensated for their work via Admin Points that are able to be redeemed for items in a staff-only shop on site. Additionally, as staff you would have the right to participate in pre-planned gachas, advents, and other adopt batches. Helpers are not, however, able to make customs or adopts independently.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>You must be at least 18 years old by March 31st, 2026 in order to apply. </strong>We are looking for users with a strong understanding of our species and website, with enough free time to manage an often busy server and queue, and who are able to meet deadlines consistently.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Your responsibilities as a Helper would be as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Looking over MYOs and redesigns</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Processing gallery submissions, prompts, and other on-site submissions</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Responding to messages in the Design Checks and Help Channel in our Discord server</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">General server moderation</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Assisting in planning and setting up species events and features</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Creating art for use on the website where needed, including item and pet art, raffle designs, and other graphics</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">Applications will close on <strong>December 24th. </strong>New Helpers will be contacted on <strong>December 31st, </strong>and announced publicly on <strong>January 1st.</strong></p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSec38qCloW-QDCbSAInuCC00yaYh9LsBJ7ZGtN9v8-sZNckaw/viewform">Apply here!</a></h4>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Draw the Creature/couple Above Adjustments:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">While we still intend to move Draw The Creature/Couple over to our website, due to some bugs it is taking a little longer than expected. In the meantime, it is being reopened in our server. Thank you for your patience!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Site Update:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">The result of our three day downtime is that we have switched hosting providers! This does not come with any huge changes on the user end, however daily rollover should now occur automatically as intended.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The transfer process introduced a few new errors and bugs onto the site - we believe we have resolved most, if not all, of these bugs already, however if you experience anything unexpected please be certain to report it either in our server or on-site!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">All previous bugs except for daily rollover still persist and do not need to be re-reported. Additionally, we are aware of the issue with the site theme appearing as default when viewing a user's character page.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As this was an extended period of maintanence, you can redeem this prize code to obtain a free Pterabyte pet!<br /><strong>BpFqS2kDuPxLgFg<br /></strong>This code will expire in 1 week.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Item Advent:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">There will be a daily item advent during the final week of December! We will ping the Discord server when the first day is live.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">December Pay-To-Enter Raffle:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Design can be seen below! Each raffle ticket can be purchased for 500 CC and can be found in the Starstop Shop!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/characters/15/15170_tHPIRQeiEs_dNnT9kgTbWDyd7O_full.png" alt="" width="500" height="501" /><br />This raffle will close <strong>December 31st, 23:59:59 site time, </strong>and will be rolled sometime the next day!</p>
<br />
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">A second winner will recieve a Fabled Trait Choice Box!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Additionally, due to the site downtime, some supporter rewards were not correctly distributed. If you have been charged for this month and did not recieve your rewards, please DM Ara (@floatia) on Discord to have them manually granted to you!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">December MONTHLY MADNESS:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">This month’s theme is<strong> Warmth</strong>! Draw or write about your TSS character experiencing warmth! This prompt is vague; you can draw/write about something that makes your character(s) feel warm, whether it be metaphorical or literal.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The December monthly madness will last till <strong>December 31st</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="text-align:left;">We currently have a bug with user shops corrupting items that are withdrawn/purchased from them!! If you encounter this bug please let us know so we can fix your item!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">All Port Chrysanthemum MYOs from last month have been deleted, aside from those currently in the MYO queue! <strong>This does include drafts that were not in the queue</strong>, so if your submission was cancelled or you had yet to submit it, you will unfortunately need to obtain a new slot.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Characters that have been in Port Chrysanthemum for a couple months now have been updated to have the option to be purchaseable with Cloud Coins instead of Starbits! Their Starbit prices have also been slightly discounted.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/TipsyBearTender" class="display-user" style="color: #6A97BA;"><i class="fa-duotone fa-cat-space mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>TipsyBearTender</a> has stepped down from the staff team.

<p style="text-align:center;">Just a few reminders for everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Please make sure to check the toyhou.se account before accepting surrenders on site! We've had a few surrenders be accepted without the toyhou.se transfer being accepted first.</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Events:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder we'll be taking a long break from lore events for a while to cool down from the back to back ones we've had recently. The next lore event will be in either December 2026 or beginning of year 2027. Aside from our standard events (valentines day, april fools, pride, art fight, and halloween) we will be hosting 1, maybe 2, new small events. What time is it in your timezone? One for Jobs and potentially one for a card game. Once the new staff members are chosen we can start planning the job event.</p>

Our first boss battle with this new system will a special variant of the Squeemother based around the Sparkdaw pet. If users get the boss to 75% health they'll recieve an uncommon myo choice box, at 50% they'll get a Blue Light Sparkdaw, at 25% a Sparkdaw varaint Squeemother, and if the boss is entirely defeated a myth myo add-on choice box.

<p style="text-align:center;">Another ping will go out tomorow regarding prompt submissions + boss damage will be handled.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Boss fight rewards will only be available to users who participate in some way and users will be able to claim the rewards themselves once the battle ends. We won't have to grant anything.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/data/bosses/50jtQmd4w51-image.png" alt="" width="500" height="250" /></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Secret Santa reminder:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As a reminder, <strong>all non-backup Secret Santa submissions are due on January 3rd.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You <strong>must</strong> complete your piece before then, and make sure to submit it to the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/prompts/97">on-site prompt</a>.</p>
<h6 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If you cannot complete your piece before the deadline, tell us via the Port Borealis Discord <em>now. </em></strong></h6>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Item Expiry Update:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Food expiration has caused us several unexpected issues that did not occur during testing, and we have been unable to resolve them thus far.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As such, we've decided to give up on the mechanic for the time being. We will likely revisit this in the future, but for now it is being reverted.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">This month’s theme is<strong> Gifts</strong>! Draw or write about your TSS character giving or receiving a gift.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The February monthly madness will last till <strong>February 28th</strong>!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="text-align:left;">We currently have a bug with user shops corrupting items that are withdrawn/purchased from them!! If you encounter this bug please let us know so we can fix your item!</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">All Port Chrysanthemum MYOs from last month have been deleted, aside from those currently in the MYO queue! <strong>This does include drafts that were not in the queue</strong>, so if your submission was cancelled or you had yet to submit it, you will unfortunately need to obtain a new slot.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Characters that have been in Port Chrysanthemum for a couple months now have been updated to have the option to be purchaseable with Cloud Coins instead of Starbits! Their Starbit prices have also been slightly discounted.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Senior Mods are now able to offer Mythical traits on customs without needing to take items.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">When inputting traits onto characters, the list should now only include traits that can be added to that species.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We've fixed an issue in the back end, so hopefully the site should be a lot less laggy now! We apologise for the inconvenience.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We've set the default site theme to 'Falling in Love' for the duration of February!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">That's all. Thank you for reading!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Reminders:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Just a few reminders for everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you sign up for item art please make sure to upload your item to the site when you're done! If it's something that requires an item tag (ex: boxes, seeds, or plant stages) don't worry about setting that up, but make sure to upload it regardless. <strong>Please make sure to upload the item as unreleased, so users cannot see it.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">When linking images on-site: <strong>do not use discord or imgur links!</strong> Discord links eventually expire and Imgur is blocked for users in the UK.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Please close your adopt posts once all adopts have been sold!</strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Job Event:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We still need some planning done for the Job Event! </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Right now we need:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Prompt Names</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">A name for the event itself</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Ideas for the perks</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">Please view <a href="https://discord.com/channels/972655378108153967/1456065858840428708">this discord thread</a> for info!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Site Lag and Potential host changing (again):</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">The site has been lagging like crazy on occassion. I (hopefully) got all the bots this time but theres a chance i missed 1 or 2. Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or a broken elevator? <br />I've created a <a href="https://discord.com/channels/972655378108153967/1469430850751037606">thread</a> in the coding forum for everyone to post in when they notice site lag. If this keeps up and our database keeps crashing because of it by the end of the month, we'll be moving back to dreamhost. Theres been a fix posted for cronjobs not working on dreamhost which was the entire reason we switched in the first place.</p>

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Happy Valentine's Day! Here's our yearly event newsletter for you all :)</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL.</span></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>An Important Reminder:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We do not tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Multiaccounting, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">including getting friends to sign up just to send you items</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items</span>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Hacking the website, or other people's accounts</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you cheat in these ways, then we will find out. We do not tolerate it whatsoever, as it gives users an advantage over others. This includes getting a mass amounts of MYOs to use to make characters, as well as trading illegitimate items for art and characters.</span></li>
</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.</strong></h5>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Art Redemption Update:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have fixed the issue we were having with criteria on gallery submissions, so art redemption - including Monthly Madness - is now done entirely through the gallery once again!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>For those who are not familiar, this means that you must include criteria on your gallery submission!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The respective prompts have been hidden as such. This only applies to regular art redemption and Monthly Madness - all other galleries and prompts are unchanged.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you've submitted to the Art Redemption or Monthly Madness galleries while criteria was broken, you may have recieved notifications about us processing your submissions! You can ignore them, as we just needed to clear out a queue. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Peace &amp; Love Rerelease:</h2>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Boss Fight:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have another boss fight for this event!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/images/data/bosses/NuS9Utzn532-image.png" alt="" width="500" height="304" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/boss/Lovesick-Vulkanspinax">LOVESICK VULKANSPINAX</a></h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">By visiting the link above, or navigating to the Bosses page via the navbar (under Play) you can participate in the fight against the Lovesick Vulkanspinax! <br />Damage can be dealt to the boss using the following methods:</p>
<ul>

From there, navigate to the section for your method of choice, fill out the information, and press the Attack button. Damage from prompt submissions require no further input from you, and will be processed automatically by staff.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Damage dealt is collaborative - every user deals damage to a global pool. The boss has a total of 5000HP.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The rewards can be claimed from the Boss Fight page, and are as follows:</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>The boss fight will last until March 7th, after which rewards will be manually claimable!</strong></h5>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Sweethearts &amp; event shop:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sweethearts are returning as an event currency! They can be obtained primarily via the event prompts, foraging, and encounters. They can be used in the event shop!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The event shop sells random flowers, the Valentine's user borders, new site themes, the Valentine's Recipe Book, and all selfbreed items - including a new one!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Covered Basket:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Covered Basket is a new randomized selfbreed slot for <strong>mixed species pairings!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">These slots need to be rolled manually by staff, and can be submitted to <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/queues/4">this queue</a>. There is no poly version at this time. As with all random selfbreeds, they have a chance of producing twins - they additionally have a very small chance to produce triplets.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Covered Baskets are available in a limited quantity per user from the event shop! After the end of the event, they will be added to the Starbit Exchange.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">New Site Themes:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We've added two new site themes! These can be unlocked by purchasing and opening their items from the event shop. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Lovesick (Goldbeam) is a light mode theme, whilst Lovesick (Tempcyon) is a dark mode theme.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you notice any issues with any of the themes, please let us know so we can fix it!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Ko-fi updates:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Two updates in regards to the Ko-fi!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Firstly, the Valentine's Bundles have been added to the cash shop and may be purchased for the duration of the event. The Covered Basket is also now available.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Secondly, <strong>an amendment to the rules: </strong>while reviewing the rules, we decided we ought to clarify for the future that we do <strong>not</strong> offer refunds to purchased items or subscriptions unless you were erroneously charged. This means that if you purchase an item and regret it, mistakenly purchase the wrong item, or purchase an item and then get banned (temporarily or permanently) for a rule violation, you will not recieve a refund. Please be <strong>absolutely certain</strong> that you are purchasing the correct item, and that you actually intend to use it in the near future.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Selfbreed limits:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We're currently discussing adding a limit to how many times each character may be involved in selfbreeds. While we still need time to finalise the specifics, this is an advance notice that <strong>a limit will be implemented in the near future.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">While we understand that this may be disappointing, this is a decision being made for a number of reasons, including the need to keep family lines under reasonable control.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We <strong>will not </strong>be revoking pre-existing Pairing Slots, even if they go far beyond the limit. However, we ask that you please do not attempt to pre-emptively generate dozens and dozens of slots on one character in anticipation of this rule. Staff-run breeding batches will not be affected and will not count towards the limit, since individual users have no control over the size of those batches.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>This is not a decision that is being made in response to any one individual character or user, nor is it intended to be a punishment.</strong> We apologise for the inconvenience.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="text-align:left;">The user shop bug that was previously corrupting items has been fixed! Let us know if you find it persists.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The pet drops bug that was preventing drops from being collected has been fixed! Let us know if you find it persists.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The Port Chrysanthemum adoption stock, user character art, and user character design pages are now paginated.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">We'll be doing some site maintanence on <strong>March 1st. The site may be down for several days as a result.</strong></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The Valentine's event will last until <strong>March 7th</strong>! Depending on how long maintanence lasts, this may be extended.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">That's all. Thank you for reading!</p>]]>

<h3><span style="font-weight:400;">General Reminders</span></h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> that any myos submitted have </span><strong>all </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">required traits! </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> (and double check if needed) that the image size of the MYO/redesign approval is </span><strong>2000x2000 pixels or smaller</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">, or the site will not accept it!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">that any CBCs have their source listed in the comments box</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">that any changes are listed in redesign approval</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Please only bump your adopts </span><strong>every other day! </strong></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Please remember to change the rarity of the myo after it is accepted on the masterlist!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Please make sure to check over gallery submissions before accepting them! If they are for prompts ensure they meet minimum requirements for said prompt. Otherwise reject them and let the user know what they need to fix.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>sELFBREEDING CHANGES:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">In case you missed it we're implimenting a self breeding limit (along with an item to refill self breed slots) to hopefully combat the potental incest problem that may arise.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">To recap:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Every character on site will have 10 self breeding slots
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">This limit will apply from march 1st onwards. Prior selfbreeding slots do <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> count towards this.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">You can purchase a selfbreed refil item (refresh charm) with starbits 
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Price has not been solidified but it'll be somewhere between the cost of a myth myo choice box and a myth item.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Staff breeding batches do not count towards this limit</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We're also moving standard selfbreeding slots to use the character pairing extension (they will not roll traits or subtypes, however.). The character pairing extension has been adjusted to remove selfbreed slots from characters/disallow characters with no slots left to breed.</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>mULTIFORM/Color changing UPDATES [POLL]:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Right now to (for example) have a cirro with both sky scenery and complex sky pattern you need both multiform and color changing. I'd like to change it so the character would only require color changing. This would apply to things like dark -&gt; colored sclera and dark -&gt; colored pupil as well. If you could live in a book, TV show, or movie, what would it be?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A poll has been created in the discord server, please vote on it!</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Reminders:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Just a few reminders for everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you sign up for item art please make sure to upload your item to the site when you're done! If it's something that requires an item tag (ex: boxes, seeds, or plant stages) don't worry about setting that up, but make sure to upload it regardless. <strong>Please make sure to upload the item as unreleased, so users cannot see it.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">When linking images on-site: <strong>do not use discord or imgur links!</strong> Discord links eventually expire and Imgur is blocked for users in the UK.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Please close your adopt posts once all adopts have been sold!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If your canvas size is over 2000 x 2000 px please provide a resized version of your adopts!</strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Job Event (reminder):</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We still need some planning done for the Job Event! </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Right now we need:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Prompt Names</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">A name for the event itself</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Ideas for the perks</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">Please view <a href="https://discord.com/channels/972655378108153967/1456065858840428708">this discord thread</a> for info!</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>host changing (again):</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Due to the site lagging like crazy and our database repeatably crashing we're moving back to dreamhost. A fix has been found for the cron jobs/dailies not resetting, which is the entire reason we switched in the first place.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">The way Port MYOs will be processed will be changing on the 1st, details can be found in <a href="https://discord.com/channels/972655378108153967/972655378108153970/1476381782109851779">this discord message.</a></li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The shortcuts section on the side/nav bar will be adjusted to use the <a href="https://wiki.lorekeeper.me/index.php?title=Extensions:User_Quicklinks">user quicklinks</a> extension on the 1st.</li>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Selfbreed limits + updates:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As outlined in the previous newsletter, we are adding a limit to the number of times a single character can be used for a selfbreed slot, in order to keep character lineages under reasonable control. This has now been implemented.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Each character now has a total of <strong>10</strong> selfbreed slots. Every selfbreed MYO used will consume one slot on each parent, even if the slot is able to roll twins or triplets. Slots and characters that existed before this update have not been counted - regardless of if your character has previously had zero or fifteen children, they now have 10 slots available. Staff run breeding batches do not consume slots, due to their nature.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We have also introduced a new item: The<strong> Refresh Charm</strong> is available from the Starbit Exchange, and restores 1 selfbreed slot to any character. Note that characters are unable to go above 10 slots, so a Refresh Charm can only be used on a character that has already been selfbred before.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;">Non-random selfbreed update:</h4>
<p style="text-align:center;">The non-randomised selfbreed MYOs (such as Love Stars) are now used in the same way as the randomised ones, in order to properly subtract selfbreed slots. They do not roll any traits and cannot roll twins or triplets, and have had no changes to their functionality aside from the way you open the slot.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Boss Fight Results:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Through community effort, the <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/boss/Lovesick-Vulkanspinax">Lovesick Vulkanspinax</a> boss was defeated only a few days into the event! Thank you to everyone who participated.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Rewards are claimable to everyone who participated. If you haven't claimed them already, be sure to do so before the end of the event.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Valentines Event Extension:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Due to the several day long downtime, we have extended the Valentine's event by 3 days. It will now end on <strong>March 10th.</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Site Update:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">The reason for the lengthy downtime this month is that we have once again switched hosting providers. This was done to hopefully combat the excessive lag issue we have been experiencing these past few months. We apologise for the inconvenience, but with any luck the site should be running more smoothly now.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you notice any new bugs or errors, please be sure to report them. Pre-existing bugs do not need to be reported again.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As this was an extended period of maintanence, you can redeem this prize code to obtain a free Pterabyte pet!<br /><strong>x2hYLnMEoieAdGv<br /></strong>This code will expire in 1 week.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">You can now create your own shortcuts on-site! This is accessible under Shortcuts -&gt; Edit Shortcuts on the navbar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Custom shortcuts will appear on the sidebar and under the shortcuts menu on the navbar! These can be any link you like, and use any label. They are viewable only to you.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">User Watching:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">It is now possible to watch a user from their profile! Recent gallery submissions from users you watch will be displayed on the front page.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Users will <strong>not</strong> be notified if you watch or unwatch them, and there is no public list of who you are watching or how many watchers you have.</p>

<li style="text-align:left;">All Port Chrysanthemum MYOs from last month have been deleted, aside from those currently in the MYO queue! <strong>This does include drafts that were not in the queue</strong>, so if your submission was cancelled or you had yet to submit it, you will unfortunately need to obtain a new slot.</li>

                <![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF EXCLUSIVE NEWS/REMINDERS</strong> <span style="font-weight:400;">(March 2026)</span></h1>
<h3><span style="font-weight:400;">General Reminders</span></h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> that any myos submitted have </span><strong>all </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">required traits! </span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> (and double check if needed) that the image size of the MYO/redesign approval is </span><strong>2000x2000 pixels or smaller</strong><span style="font-weight:400;">, or the site will not accept it!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">that any CBCs have their source listed in the comments box</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><strong>Please make sure </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">that any changes are listed in redesign approval</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Please only bump your adopts </span><strong>every other day! </strong></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Please remember to change the rarity of the myo after it is accepted on the masterlist!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Please make sure to check over gallery submissions before accepting them! If they are for prompts ensure they meet minimum requirements for said prompt. Otherwise reject them and let the user know what they need to fix.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAFF NEWSLETTER:</strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Spring Hunt &amp; April Fools Events:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As always we will be hosting 2 small events in april. The spring hunt (a scavanger hunt) and april fools (just a small joke event)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We need ideas for both of these. Themes for the spring hunt items (we need 3, one for each day the hunt is running), and just overall ideas for april fools. If you've already pitched either of these feel free to repitch them in the relevant threads!</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Port MYO automation + Update:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">As stated on the previous newsletter port MYOs have been slightly automated! If a MYO slot is titled "Port Chrysanthemum MYO" you will now have the option to add it to Port Chrysanthemum in the approval menu. This will automatically transfer the character to the port account and grant the user their 150 starbits. You <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">will</span></strong> still need to add the character as adoption stock, however. There will be a link in the success banner to the adoption stock page for convenience.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>From now on staff members may ignore the rarity limit on port MYOs.</strong> You may use any traits (including fabled traits!) to create designs for the port now, you will recieve the standard 150 starbits for them but we'd like to increase the amount of rare+ designs in the port if possible! Please try to be reasonable with the fabled traits however, since each one increases the cost of the character!</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Poly Selfbreed MYOs [Poll]:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">With the adjustments to selfbreed myos and characters now having selfbreed slots we need to figure out how to handle poly (non randomized) selfbreed myos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This entirely slipped my mind until it was brought up in the help channel. Do we want to create a queue for them? Staff would be creating the MYO slots, adding the parents in the linage tab, and deducting the selfbreed slots from the parents. A poll will be created in the discord server.</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Reminders:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Just a few reminders for everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you sign up for item art please make sure to upload your item to the site when you're done! If it's something that requires an item tag (ex: boxes, seeds, or plant stages) don't worry about setting that up, but make sure to upload it regardless. <strong>Please make sure to upload the item as unreleased, so users cannot see it.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">When linking images on-site: <strong>do not use discord or imgur links!</strong> Discord links eventually expire and Imgur is blocked for users in the UK. Mountains or ocean?<strong><br /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Please close your adopt posts once all adopts have been sold!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>If your canvas size is over 2000 x 2000 px please provide a resized version of your adopts!</strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><img style="font-size:14.4px;text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></h1>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Job Event (reminder):</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We still need some planning done for the Job Event! </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Right now we need:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Prompt Names</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">A name for the event itself</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Ideas for the perks</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;">Please view <a href="https://discord.com/channels/972655378108153967/1456065858840428708">this discord thread</a> for info!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Misc:</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">The previous poll regarding color changing and multiform has been concluded! the changes outlines on the previous newsletter will be going into effect shortly.</li>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Misc:</span></h2>
<ul style="text-align:center;">
<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The event shop has closed!</span></li>

<li style="font-weight:400;text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Characters that have been in Port Crysmamethmum for a couple months now have been updated to have the option to be purchasable with Clownboins instead of Starboys!

                <![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all!</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /><strong><br /></strong><span style="font-weight:400;">Dialogue Event:</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The epilogue to A State of Emergency can be read <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/info/state-of-emergency-2">here</a>!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Written by <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/user/Lobcorp" class="display-user" style="color: #D971CF;"><i class="fa-duotone fa-moon-over-sun fa-spin mr-1" style="opacity: 50%;"></i>Lobcorp</a></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /><strong><br /></strong><span style="font-weight:400;">Mispellings and adjustments to currency names:</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We have consulted a dictionary and discovered that we were right the first time. Port Crysmamethmum has been renamed back to Port Chrysanthemum. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Clownboins are now known as Cloudcoins!<br />Starboys are now known as Starbits!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;">We have decided that these are much better names. We are so sorry for the inconvenience.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /><strong><br /></strong><span style="font-weight:400;">Boss Fight [update]:</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">The <a href="https://thespacestation.xyz/boss/Snapping-Dragon">Snapping Dragon</a> boss fight is still ongoing! However, there have been a few adjustments.</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Donating Cloudcoins now deals damage at a rate of 1000CC to 1 damage.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Mythical items are also now able to be donated to deal damage.</li>
</ul>
<h5 style="text-align:center;"><strong>The boss fight will end on April 7th!</strong> </h5>
<p style="text-align:center;">After this point, rewards will become claimable to everyone who participated.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://thespacestation.xyz/files/DIV.gif" alt="" width="300" height="16" /></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Trait Updates:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We've made a few updates to some traits and subtypes! All characters affected have already been updated, but feel free to let us know in the Help Channel if you find one that was missed.</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Extra Limbs [both variants, all species]</strong>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Has been renamed to <strong>Extra Body Parts</strong>! </li>
<li style="text-align:left;">There is no functionality difference, this change is simply for clarity as the trait covers body parts that are not limbs.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><strong>Wings [CRC]</strong>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Has had its rarity downgraded to Rare! Note that this <em>only</em> applies to the Cirrocanius version of the trait.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Wild Cat &amp; Wild Dog Subtypes</strong>
<ul>
<li>Have had their rarity downgraded to Rare! This applies to Spacecats, Sodacats, and Cirrocanius.</li>
<li>Big Cats and Hyenas are still Mythical.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Conductive Spacedust [SC], Energized Soda [SDC], &amp; Stormy [CRC]</strong>
<ul>
<li>These traits are now able to be optional without Multiform.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Multiform &amp; Color Changing [all species]</strong>
<ul>
<li>Previously, having a character change between sclera/pupil color traits, star/bubble/cloud shape traits, and/or substance pattern traits would require both Multiform and Color Changing, as they were changing both colors/markings <em>and</em> the relevant traits. As of now, these changes only require Color Changing. </li>
<li>Here are a few examples of what we mean:
<ul>
<li>A character whose sclera colour changes between white and black, with no other design changes between forms, requires the Dark Sclera and Color Changing traits.</li>
<li>A character who has an optional pattern in their spacedust requires the relevant pattern trait and Color Changing.</li>
<li>A character with Multiform, who has several optional traits and obtains a sky pattern in their second form, would now require both Multiform and Color Changing.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Poly Selfbreed MYO Queue:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Non-randomized poly selfbreed MYOs now need to be submitted to this queue to have their slot generated, and cannot be opened from the inventory.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is in order to ensure that selfbreed slots are taken from the parents upon the slot being generated, to prevent niche situations where a parent runs out of slots while a MYO is still pending in the queue.</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Cirrocanius Claw Adjustments:</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">We've made a few adjustments to the way cirrocanius claws. All characters on the masterlist have been updated to reflect these changes already. Changes are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Cirrocanius now use and require the Paw trait category.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The following traits have been added/adjusted:
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Claw Fingers (Common)
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Large, thick claws fused with the toes, standard for Cirrocanius.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Non-Standard Claws (Uncommon)
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">Regular dog paws with visible toes and smaller claws, instead of claw fingers.
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;">If claw fingers or talons are present on one set of paws, this trait is not necessary to add regular claws to the other.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">Paw Mutations have been upgraded to Rare</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
