Game Nights!

ChaoChild 's Discord game nights will take place on July 13th for a standard game night, and July 20th for game of Frankenpaca hosted by JacyFox for their birthday! There will be reminders posted in the server when they're getting things ready and when the game is live! Be sure to keep an eye out to have some fun with what they have planned!

Times games are hosted will be up for vote shortly to see what works best for the community.

Discord Server


Art Fight 2024

It's officially Art Fight season! Request your team colors in our #art-fight channel in the Discord server, or post your finished works and pieces you've gotten (with the appropriate credits) in our #art-fight-art channel ; Staff participating in Art Fight this year will also have role colors to display their team, but they have a lighter color tone so that you can still tell us apart! You can also get an additional 150 Leaflets when submitting a prompt  that was an Art Fight attack you did on someone else; this button has been added to the Art criteria form (please remember to submit your pieces to our on-site gallery here or Toyhouse so that we can still review your piece in the event that the Art Fight site goes down from the traffic.)

Reminders

As the community settles back into a comfort zone, we need to remind everyone about the following list. This is so that staff can manage everything easier and keep everything running smoothly for everyone!

  • Remember to always include criteria in your prompt submissions! We want to make sure everyone is getting their proper rewards when submitting a prompt. Exceptions that do not allow for criteria to be claimed will mention that in their rgeneral rules for the prompt
    • Staff can NOT add criteria from our side, we don't have a button for it. We can edit your filled out sheets, but otherwise the adding of a criteria form can only be added by the person submitting the prompt!
  • Prompt rules change from time to time! Though many of our prompts use the same list for rules, some prompts may alter these (whether it's a standard prompt or event prompt), and reading these rule alterations could be the difference between an approval or rejection!
  • Do NOT use Discord image links when submitting through prompts! Discord recently changed their system to cause any images linked from their servers to automatically stop displaying on external sites after a certain amount of time; some cases images have expired after 12 hours, while others they expired after 48 hours. It's an extremely varied time frame, but there is always the chance that an image may expire before our staff can get around to your prompt! Though we encourage use of our on-site galleries, external sites such as Toyhouse, DeviantArt, Cara, etc. are all fine as well so long as the image has some sort of public permissions.
  • When submitting a MYO design or redesign, if submitting to our #design-check channel, please do not submit your design to the site until after a staff member has gotten back to you with feedback. If you submit a design to the site, then we ask that you please do not submit that same design into our #design-check channel. Submitting to both does not speed up the process any, and instead creates double the work for our design mods.
  • Be sure to always read the pins in our Discord server channels if you are unsure about something. You may need to jump directly to the pin in some cases since mobile now cuts off pins after a certain point, not letting people see the entire post otherwise. With the abundance of Discord updates as of late, this feature may have slipped past a lot of people, including some of our staff members!
  • If you would like to DM a staff member for assistance, please open a private help ticket in our #contact-us channel in the server. This can be to have a voucher or appriasal approved, to report problematic things that may affect the community directly, or to ask for help in a private setting.
  • Sometimes staff will post announcements without pings, so be sure to keep an eye on our #announcements channel. These no-pings may not require a big ping, but they are still just as important.
 
NPC Masterlist Art Contest

Judging for the NPC masterlist art contest featuring our Snekket NPC Claude is now underway! Staff will need  a few days to properly look over each submission and decide on a winner and runner ups. We appriciate everyone for entering! Please join our Discord server to be updated when a winner is chosen.


Rainbow Bat DTE

Thank you to everyone who entered for our guest artist DTE raffle! Everyone had such wonderful pieces! The winner of the raffle has been rolled, and congrats to CryMeARiver for winning this baby! The masterlist for them will be transferred to you shortly, and you can collect the art pieces for the bean from the gallery here: https://play.pacapillars.com/gallery/22 

 

Current Events
Mirage Festival
July 5th, 2024 - September 5th, 2024
Our annual Mirage Festival is back! Join Monet and his Snekket companion, Claude in all the activities and have some fun with your own Snekket companions! This year's theme is Crystals, just like our lovely city of Chrysalopolis. There are 4 prompts in the first half of the event (Snack Time, Snekket Bonding, Dress to Impress, and Bedazzled Crafts), then a 5th lore-based prompt will drop on the first of August that will require all 4 of the main event prompts to have been completed.
Remember to use your Monet Tickets at the Mirage Prize Stand in our shops to get some event-exclusive items! The Mirage Prize Stand will be open from the start of the event until the 12th of September. After that, all Monet Tickets will be reset to 0 to start anew for next year.
 

 

Design Schedule
  • JacyFox will have a Frankensnekket game on July 20th
  • Batch of 3 designs for auction by TornPages will be posted around July 7th - July 10th
  • Designs by Nokkelborth . As always, Nokkel’s patreon usually gets first looks at designs and are normally eligible to make claims in advance, so if that interests you, we recommend taking a look.
  • As always, we may sneak in some surprise designs, some of which may be discord only, so watch out 👁️

Character of The Month
7073_0Pb1bgJRgo_th.PNG

EXE, Data, and Timmy

- Exe (black) is extremely energetic and has this odd interest in monster pacas, putting himself in danger often. He tends to get lost in his thoughts and forgets other people exist at times.
- Timmy (blue) is super energetic, always having a childlike wonder about everything. He tends to get into fights with Exe often.
- Data (purple) is the most mature of the trio, acting like the parent reeling in Exe and Timmy when they get too much. He tends to hate fighting and will have a breakdown if fights occur around him.

Submit The Prompt!

Creature Feature


Caridina

Found through various parts of the Chrysalopolis waterways, the Caridina can make your lakeside viewing far more sparkly than you had ever hoped for! Their hard shells have a special film on the surface that makes it seem as though the little creatures are always glittery and shimmering, especially when catching the rays off of the morning sunrise. Pretty as they are, they can be fairly picky. Anyone who wishes to take one home should expect to treat them as a king or queen and nothing less, or else they may show off their sassy side!
