Out of curiosity, what's the link to Vergissmeinnicht's entry? Since I wrote the tasks for the Gameplay, I'm particularly curious to see how people carried them out, and that's the only one in the rankings there I don't know the link to. xD --- EDIT: -Is the pet working out? Maybe we need a backup, just in case they're too much...let's head to the Back Yard again with some seeds and get a garden together!...a backup? We're going to plant a backup pet in the backyard? I don't understand the beginning of this one lol. LOL I basically meant it as...if a pet for the pet is too much to take care of, maybe a garden would be easier. xDDD I DID word that weirdly though, I apologize, but your confusion made me laugh! (Totally not going through these all at the moment...COUGH) --- EDITEDIT: Also random, but I notice a few people mentioning how their petz got weird colors on their ankles after taking off some clothes. Yeah, that's a glitch that's annoyed me since I was a kid. xD Seems with pants that go down to the ankles and socks...sometimes when removing them, that happens. I think putting the pet away and taking them back out fixes it. It's like part of the clothes just got stuck, and I dunno why. xDD

haha, I guess that makes sense now, CatCreature. Thanks for writing up those tasks, by the way! You did a great job and they were a lot of fun to fulfill.

You're welcome! It was the least I could do to help out a poor, overworked MidnightWolf who threw it all together in the first place, hehe!

I was wondering if there was still a way to get points for the event? Since the gameplay contest is over and the page with quests doesn't work. It probably says somewhere and I'm just missing it haha,if the event is still going on that is. Just wondering as I may try to get more points if possible for a prize Edit: I'm guessing with the move you're quite busy! You can just ignore my post then xD

Posting to lock myself in and not let time be an excuse, Stardust's holiday event will run either December 10-31 or 17-31. I'll have more precise time on December 4th. I'll work on setting everything up 2-4.
The petz in the prize shop will be wrapped and put under the tree (with plenty of food and water) And I'll try to add some myself. If anyone wants to send any to add, feel free.
I'll allow EP to be exchanged for candy canes, but I think any old candy canes will not roll over to this year's event.

Finally got all the gifts wrapped up. Official start date for Stardust's Holiday Event is December 10th, and it'll run until December 31st. There are currently 284 gifts. That's a lot of gifts. o.o (Plus 81 for the multiple gifts that have toys and clothes in them) Everything you see in the Prize Pool is under the tree, plus 8 toys from Sigi, and a set of 20 of my hexed bowties clothes. That includes the multiple 50 points, 100 points, and sets of 3 shop permits. For those who have never taken part; *You earn "candycanes" to buy gifts. When you have enough for a gift, click "Purchase" and the following will show; *If you want the gift, type in your email and click "Confirm". If you don't want the gift, click "Re-wrap". Re-wrapped gifts go back under the tree for someone else to claim. You don't get the candycanes you spent on the gift back. Whether you claim or not, the candycanes are gone. *Each gift was given a price entirely randomized by the system. That means that a bred pet can cost 25 and a hex can cost 7. (I took the average for the toys/clothes and gave them all the same price) *If you open a gift you've donated, just re-wrap it, message me the gift number you purchased, and I'll refund you. * Please do NOT share what's inside gifts. If you open a gift and re-wrap, you can NOT tell others what's inside the gift. You'll be banned from the site. I spent a lot of hours on this event so I have no patience for cheaters. *You earn candycanes either by visiting the Tree page and clicking "Get your FREE candycanes", which you'll get between 1-4 candycanes. You can also purchase up to 10 candycanes a day for 5 points. Finally, the main way you'll get candycanes is by taking part in the mini events. I will randomly put up a simple event and whoever completes it either within the time limit, entry limit, or before I change the event will be awarded X candycanes. Events can include a flash game to decorate a tree or build a snowman, uploading your own pictures of your holiday decorations, find-its, or simply answering a holiday related question. Some events only accept the first X entries. There are no competitions. No entries are judges based on quality or ratings. It will almost always be "The first 10 entries will get 5 candycanes" or "Whoever enters by 7pm EST will get 5 candycanes" etc *For EP, I am allowing them to be exchanged for candycanes. I'm not sure if it will be manually or if I'll have time to set up an automated button. I'm not sure the exchange rate for EP to candycane, but it's not a 1-1 ratio. Candycanes have more value than EP. Any questions anyone has before or during the event, feel free to ask. Now I can finally go eat lunch. >.>

Yay, I haven't been around PUGS for a holiday event yet and I'm super excited! It sounds really great. One thing though- I'm assuming we can't collect candy canes until the 10th? Because when I click the 'holiday event' tab I just get an error-type message. Thanks for creating this!

That link would take you to last year's page until recently, so I guess Middy's going to put up the new page on the 10th. Question! If I remember correctly, in previous years when you'd open a gift and find one of your own donations, you could ask for the candy canes to be refunded. Would that be a thing again this year? (:

Starting 8 hours early but I now have an emergency meeting tomorrow at work so I know I'll be too tired to remember to launch it.
Visit the Event Page, create a snowman, take a screenshot, and paste the link in the cbox. All entries accepted until December 11th at midnight. Any entries after will be ignored.
EP can be exchanged automatically by visiting the tree. (http://petzuniversal.com/holiday_store.php)

Thanks for running this event midnightwolf, it looks like it's going to be tons of fun <3
I just wanted to check what timezone the end times are in? I wouldn't want to get the times for anything confused!

That's what CatCreature told me to add. I knew she told me something but I forgot.
Timezone is EST. I'll add the note, thanks for reminding me.

A bit off topic of the holiday event, but I just progressed a lot on this newest feature, I wanted to update. (Look Star ★ , it's happening :D) Anyone remember the Dig Site? I was changing it to the Cave Site where you dig for gems (and points), then you use the gems in their specified shop for exclusive items. Quick look at what I've done; (Layout and images subject to change) I just wanted to update that after many.... many hours, a lot of frustration, many threats of divorce, and finally relief, the coding for the feature is entirely working. The emerald shop is also all coded out, sends out download links flawlessly, and is ready to go. I just need to complete the other shops, stock them, and make download links hashed after each download. Also making each page look nice/go along with the ideas Star and I came up with for each. Just wanted to do an update since I've been trying to get this done since January 2015. The shops will be filled with either other site items (auction permit, shop permit) or clothes, toys, bred petz, and hexies. Even wasting hundreds of my own person points on testing features, I have more points than I can spend right now. So I'll be putting my hexies in the Gem Shops, possibly even the breedfiles of hexed files I do. Anyone else is welcome to send in things they'd like to add when the time comes. Without rambling anymore, I'll end this with a reminder of the Gem Shop hosts. See you at the market. :D

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but it relates to the holiday event.. I accidentally opened the same present twice, is there any way to get refunded for that? With so many presents I didn't realize it would happen! I spent a lot of points on the candy canes and feel disappointed wasting them, even if it was my own fault. Thanks!
