Hi everyone! Part 4 of the Disquiet event is here - we're very sorry for the delays!

PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL.

An Important Reminder:

We do not tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Multiaccounting, including getting friends to sign up just to send you items
• Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items
  • You are also disallowed from telling other people about exploits that you find, other than staff when you report it
  • If you find an exploit by mistake, you will not be punished so long as you let us know immediately
• Hacking the website, or other people's accounts
• 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.

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.

Dialogue Event:

Part 4 of the dialogue event can be read here! Be sure to read it before participating in the event.

The dialogue event was written by GalacticRing!

boss fights:

Part 3's boss was defeated with a final score of 25 points, far surpassing the required 15!

As a reward, everybody who participated by submitting an Unexpected Fright prompt will recieve 100 Cloudcoins, 1 Carnivorous Plant Seed, and 1 Random Item Box!

Part 4's boss is THE SQUEEMOTHER!

To participate in the boss fight you must do the Intimidation prompt! The requirements and information on that prompt are listed in the section below this, doing so will reward you with some items + 1 point of damage to the boss. You can view everyones progress here! If this boss is deafeated before the next part, every participant will recieve the following: 100 Cloudcoins, Random Item Box x1, and an exclusive pet!

As a reminder:

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!

Prompts:

Here are the new prompts for part 4! As a reminder:

Story prompts 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.

Event prompts 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 prompt rules thoroughly.

Event prompt submissions will also make contribute to the progress of ongoing boss fight!

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. Rewards from encounters are now granted to the active character's inventory - remember to check there if you're unsure of where something may have gone!

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.

Underglazed vesselS:

Underglazed Vessels, the selfbreeding MYOs for Clayfoxes, are now functional!

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 not 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.

To create a slot, rather than opening the item from your inventory, you need to go to the pairings page, 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.

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.

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.

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 Random MYO Fixes prompt.

The way non-Clayfox selfbreedings work has not been changed in any way.

misc:

• 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.
• 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.
• winterbunz now has a staff sona!

Thank you all for reading! 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!
