Hello everyone, I wanted to let you know of a few upcoming updates to the community as there are a few things we would like to update you on before the end of the year. 

First off, we are going to be adding the Permavoid | Void rules to our T.O.S on the site. These rules were completely voted for by the community and will be implemented as of tomorrow morning. If you have more questions on this please let us know. Here are the Key Terms that will help you understand the differences between the terms, they will be posted on the T.O.S. as well:

     Void - means to remove your fox from any association with the scarfox species, this includes our lore, pets, traits, and arpg aspect. this option gives the member who owns the voided fox the future option to reinstate the fox at another time if they wish.

     Perma Void - means to remove your fox from the species with no chance to ever bring it back in.This includes through our normal reinstatement method, or through purchasing a myo and potions. This choice of voiding is best for those who wish to completely leave the species and not return.

Secondly, the Synthetic Dye had some updates due to questions from members. Regarding the revert to old designs and the trait availability, the Synthetic Dye is able to do such. For example, Owner One decides to remove a Mystic Trait in exchange for a Very Rare trait, Owner one trades the Scarfox to Owner Two, Owner Two wants to return said Mystic trait to new Scarfox design in exchange for the recent Very Rare trait. For a situation such as this, Owner Two would have to go to the Scarfox Masterlist Entry > Images > and check on the previous Images for said traits to provide proof during Design Update without the need of a Synthetic Dye. However, if you want to fully revert back to one of the Original Designs from the Image section you will need a Synthetic Dye during the Design Update process. 

Changing a trait that was previously active on the Scarfox - No Synthetic Dye needed

(Overhaul) Reverting a Scarfox to one of the Original Designs - Synthetic Dye is needed

Overhauling a design gives you access to any previous traits that the Scarfox may have had in their previous designs. All you need in the proof during design update. 

Again, if you have any questions please ask them in the Scarfox FAQ. I will be posting more information on the site tomorrow with more information on the potion.

Thirdly, as per community votes we will be setting up the shops to have pet available for purchase on Crystal and USD based. The shop will open every start of the season with Seasonal Pets as well as random pets from the Mystery Egg. The shop will be open for 48 hours. More information will be given during the first opening on December 21st for the Winter based pets along with the random Mystery Eggs.

The exchange shop will also be open during this time for the all available pets and will close the same time. We have already paid for a code to allow us to categorize the Cash Shop to make it easier on our members.

Lastly, Benaberrry and I decided this a way while back which as of yesterday's meeting the mod team is in full acceptance of the staff changes.

Dragon-Eternal will be promoted to Administrative position. 

We have also sent out messages to those who we would like to interview for the mod positions. However, since it has been sometime we will be reopening mod positions this time mainly for MYO Mods. These applications will be opening tomorrow and be opened for a whole week to give Bena and I sometime to look through. More information on that will be released tomorrow.

Other than that please look forward to a few minor pings including Synthetic Dye potion update and the mod application.

Thank you.

The light of the moon has finally reached the peak of the sky. Still the souls are restless and now more active than the previous several hundred years. What seems to be causing their disturbance at this time. Still those many voices of pain and suffering are calling out!

"We cry... we cry for his return... please forgive us and let us pass. The beast seeks for him too. Peace. It wants peace."

The souls are active for the last hour before the moon dissipates. We have come to find out that placing them in the moon water keeps them contained for 24 hours. We will be holding ONE final raffle to obtain an Yste's Soul. There are just a few rules:
 - TEN raffle winners
- Raffle will be open for ONE hour!
- Raffle is open to enter for members who have an existing Mystic or Hollow Scarfox they wish to turn Unstable and obtain the Unstable Wisp Trait. 
- Souls must be used on the fox before the end of November 1st @ Midnight CST, to use a soul on a fox the owner must create an updated ML image including the Yste's soul and have a design update submitted before the end of the day. You are welcome to change the ML image afterwards it doesn't require you to change it on the same day. Just please make sure that you update the design with the trait information!
- Owners are fine to edit the existing ML image and add in the souls, they do not need to create a brand new ML image.
- No repeat winners, if you won in a previous raffle for the Souls you cannot get a second one, nor can you enter to win for a friend.
- If you have any questions please ask in the QNA!

Here is an example of using the souls:

Good day everyone, some announcements for today. 

Starting with the voiding system. We have checked everything and made sure everything on the site has been functioning with the lock for voided Scarfoxes. We will be implementing this feature on December 1st to allow the new mods to be trained properly on site and on discord. 

For current members who have claims on the site, please contact the mod team and let us know whether you wish to permanently void your Scarfoxes or just void. Please take a moment to look at the information regarding the process of voiding before sending your final decision: 

Please read all the info provided below before using this system:

-------------

voids and reinstatements will not be charged for in any way shape or form, any member is free to use this.

key terms: 

Void - means to remove your fox from any association with the scarfox species, this includes our lore, pets, traits, and arpg aspect. this option gives the member who owns the voided fox the future option to reinstate the fox at another time if they wish.

Perma Void- means to remove your fox from the species with no chance to ever bring it back in.This includes through our normal reinstatement method, or through purchasing a myo and potions. This choice of voiding is best for those who wish to completely leave the species and not return.

ML = Masterlist
======
-members will need to submit a claim with the title: "Void" or "Perma Void", attaching the foxes in question in the character code section, with an optional fill in, "reason of void (optional)"

-the void claim will be given a gracing period of 4 weeks (28 days) on both types of void to make sure they wish to go through with this. We were noted that some people may rush to void without a cool head, or without thinking they would ever want the design back in the species, so this is for such cases.

-after the claim has sat for the full 28 day gracing period, it will be processed through. The fox's masterlist in question will be given a red version of the soulbound lock icon next to its name, and its name will be changed to VOID. The ml image will be darkened out, and a void timer will start, that will manage a foxes void cooldown. once the fox is off its cooldown, the owner has the option to reinstate it.

-the void cooldown will go for a full 2 months (60 days), this is to help prevent possible spam flood of void and reinstatement. a fox (lets call them fox A) will have their first void last 2 months, that starts from the day the owners void is processed. this timer is not reset if ownership is swapped.

-fox A's first void is 2 months cooldown. if this fox gets reinstatement then voided again, this timeframe will span to 5 months, and if a third time will span to a full year. This is to help prevent repetitive reinstatement and voiding, and to help a member take their time thinking over what they wish to do. This cooldown record will stay with the fox no matter the owner.

-voiding a scarfox design will not require permission to void or reinstate from the designer or original owner. As noted by the members of our community, one cannot own the design anymore once sold, only the artwork they made of the design. If the owner of the design does something the designer does not want (such as voiding or reinstating), the Scarfox species is not liable for what a member chooses to do with said design, and will not be a third party in the situation unless absolutely necessary.

-the scarfox species will require that the voided design is not called a scarfox, or is brought into our ARPG aspects any further, either by the owner or other members. the gift art allowed status will be kept off

-we will not require members to alter the design or anatomy of the scarfox to void, but if you wish to distance your design from our species you can alter one of the following key features: the face/head area, the scarf arms, or the body proportions

-during a foxes void, the owner can still trade swap or gift the voided designs with its ML away, but the new owner will need to wait for the ML cooldown to reinstate it (so if member A trades a fox with 1 month left of reinstatement cooldown to member B, member B will only have to wait the 1 month). The 2 month trade cooldown will still apply to a voided design as with any ml fox, and starts when the ml trade has been accepted by the opposing party. (So if member B receives the fox with its 1 month void cooldown, it also has a 2 month trade cool down like any normal fox trades)

-to reinstate a fox: the owner of the design will need to submit a claim titled "reinstatement", linking the fox's masterlist in the character code section, and an optional "reason for reinstatement:"

-the reinstatement period will be the same gracing period time (28 days) to make sure the owner truly wants this design back into the species, and wishes for this design to be associated with the scarfox name

-when reinstating the fox, this is not the form to: update the design, add on potion effects, etc. instead use the update design button on your foxes masterlist after its reinstated

-there will not be a cooldown to revoid after the reinstatement, as if a fox is voided a second time, it will retain a 5 month cooldown instead of 2, and a year after 5 months if done again.

-once a members reinstatement is processed, the void lock icon is removed, the image is put back to normal, and the gift art allowed tab is free to edit. The fox is open to use in the arpg and be called a scarfox once more.

-do not submit a new masterlist image via the reinstatement claim, instead use design update after reinstatement

voiding and unvoiding (reinstatement) is handled by staff, if we do not get to your void/unvoid after the 28 days has passed feel free to send us a message on site or on discord dms!

---this information may be updated with new info as the void system gets used, we will send an update ping on the discord and a news bulletin on site if its a major change that affects the system---

-------------

Unstable Potion and Traits have been pushed to next year. We noted the community vote against it and we have decided to proceed with prioritizing the current list of work that we have. We appreciate your thoughts and words on this matter.

We are still in discussion of some of the other topics that are currently in vote at the moment. We will make sure to have these ready for another update.

Thank you again!

-------------------------------------------------

Good morning everyone and happy first day of the Spoopy month! I want to give a warning that there will be multiple announcements and polls throughout the day to get a vibe of what will be going down for the month. 

I want to start things up with Mod Applications. The mod apps will be open for about two weeks and you can find the application here: MOD APPLICATION FORM
The link will be posted on the discord, deviantart, and as well as on site for everyone to have a chance. 

We are hiring for both MYO Mod applications (which Benaberrry will be assisting me with as she is mainly in charge of dealing with the MYO mods) and Site and Discord Moderators. We will be going through these mod applications as they come in to make it easier for us to look through. As a warning ahead of time, I will not be hiring future moderators who have a current strike in the community. 

The mod applications will be viewed and discussed by the entire mod team.

On to the next update, the shop will be opening up soon around 12 pm CST. This is going to be a test phase and we are still considering proper times for the shop to be open. Everything will be unlimited for the next 72 hours/3 days. 

Regarding MYO designs updates and approvals, you may start to submit them again. Please be aware it will take a moment as things in the group are re-opening and we are still handling announcements and the overall site such as uploads and changes. I will also be handling MYO approvals to ease off on the MYO mod and Admin. 

Regarding the DTE, we will be picking the winner within a week. 

Members who are currently muted, please be aware that Discord does not provide a feature of listed members who are currently timed out. If we have forgotten to remove the timeout please DM us and we will get to it as soon as possible. 

Please keep in mind for the future if you are on a Timeout it will be 24 hours for the first offense and doubled for following offenses. 

Please keep negative remarks with no constructive criticism out of the chatrooms, feel free to ask questions in QNA or DM any available mod in regards to this announcement.

Thank you.

Hey guys, we are planning an event for October.

However, there are people out there with coulrophobia (fear of clowns) and our Clown NPC Piero will be bringing the dark circus to town. I'm concerned with our community's phobias so I need to know if this is ok or not to continue setting this theme. Some of the banners will include clown-based Scarfoxes and we would like to be considerate of our member's fears. If you feel that there are any phobias you would like to let us know about, please title them "Phobia Concern" in the suggestions box found in HERE and we will do our best to avoid said phobias. 

If you are not part of the discord and would like to voice your opinion please let us know in the comments below.

If you are uncomfortable with stating your phobia in public, you are welcome to send us a suggestion titled "Concerns with clown phobia"

Suggestion on different themes for October event, title "October Theme" on suggestion form.

A: You may submit your finished entry here! We ask that users refrain from posting their gifts publicly in the Discords until the 25th! 

Q: Will I be able to apply for an extension to my Winter's Gift if I will not be able to finish on time? 

A: No, unfortunately due to the nature of this event an extension will not be granted. If you feel you will not be able to finish your gift on time please contact a Mod to let them know!

A: Per user suggestion we have added a second section so users can provide two choices of character to be drawn. Hopefully this will help users who may not be comfortable drawing the first character provided!

 Hello hello! We have a final decision on our winner for this years DTA Timid Tides, as well as our 2 runner ups! It was lovely seeing so many entrants and different approaches to this DTA!

Layaking with their gorgeous entry!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/660329186015051796/996797610801242172/waterFox_Mouth_Eyes.gif This was no joke in choosing, none of the staffing would budge on their votes between these 2 entrants as both blew us away! I'll be sending our your prize shortly!

While judging the entries for this DTA we focused on quality over quantity, taking into account factors such as effort, execution, and creativity. Judging the entrants was very tricky, but we appreciate all the entries that users sent in. Your entries were all beautiful and creative. We will look into hosting more DTA's in the future as chances arise, so please remember there will be other chances to win! If you entered for this DTA feel free to submit your entries to the crystal gallery if you havent already! All pieces submitted to the entry form have been uploaded to the characters toyhouse.

That's all for now, we hope you have a lovely October and that you look forward to what we have in store for the future, take care! 

PSA we have been made aware that there is a user going around posing as korajora (kawi) and making it seem like a fox never sold, asking the follow up bidder to pay for the adopt. Please make sure to fully read the name/check the account and CHECK THE MASTERLIST to make sure its the right user and that the fox is still available or not. As to date as far as we know all kawi foxes have been sold. If you get scammed there is nothing we can do about it, if you do by chance get scammed report them to DA and paypal/whatever transaction service they ask you to use. If for some reason you cant get it back via asking through paypal and co, ask your bank to reverse the transaction if possible. Thank you for reading and stay safe 

This seems to be happening with other popular artists as well such as kitkaloid, always check the profile if you can!

The following information provided below is to update the community on what we will be working on and aiming to get done for the species, as there are things overdue that have been getting put on the backburner due to irl situations hitting the staff team without much of any break.

we ask for users to keep any negative remarks that have no constructive basis to themselves in regards to the topic at hand, and request for your patience as we formulate future bulletins on other topics we will be responding to. you can find a link to our suggestions form at the bottom of this journal if you wish to let us know your thoughts and ideas.

TO PREFACE:

this is a form of goal chart, we will do out best to meet the goals listed below, but we do not know what is in store for us irl over the next 2 months and overall future, we request that the community will bear with us as we are just people trying our best when we can offer our best.

We won't be doing:

• NEW Prompts & Events

• MYO Approvals & Questions

• Design Update Approvals & Questions

• Craft Crystal Gallery Submissions

We will be doing:

• Claims

• Crystal Gallery

• Site Error Reports

• Answering # scarfox-questions

• Helping members with site problems.

• Creating adopts for the species

What we will be aiming to work on over the Hiatus:

• Looking to Hire more MYO Staff

• MYO prices and releases

• Voiding Discussion

• T.O.S update

• Crystal Currency Update

• Subspecies

• Direction of the Species (where are we headed and why things have been slow)

• Figuring out a Better Format of Handling Situations Involving MYO's or Designs

• Crystal Gallery Rewards for Craft Pieces

• How to submit MYO and Design Update Doc/On site Visual Guide

• Voucher Information

• Updated System for Community Situation Handling

(this one may take some time/will be continually evolving as we are all different people in the staffing system and cope/handle with stress and tension in different ways, with each situation being case by case. we will be trying to learn and utilize better ways to handle situations that happen as to not have a situation make a member of the community feel overwhelmed in the future as best as we can. we are planning to release another bulletin that will explain more on this topic once properly composed and read through with cool heads. But this does not mean we will be perfect with every situation, and ask that users remember that we are human and have alot of pressure on us due to being a bigger species and trying to meet community expectations on a constant. Some of the staff team has different health problems and situations, some of which that affects us on a constant daily basis that make life a bit tricky to put it lightly, so we ask for your patience and understanding if possible. We will be aiming to do better as we have tried to before, no matter the hills on this journey of learning how to run a large closed species, but to learn we need time, more time than some may expect as we each learn and process this information at different rates. we thank you for sticking around and learning with us, and hope that future bulletins and communications can help clear up some confusion, and show the community that we are going to take accountability for what has happened over the course of the new ownership as best as we can.)

--------------------------------------------------------

☆QnA☆

--------------------------------------------------------

the questions and answers below may be updated with more accurate information as we work on these topics and figure out final choices over the span of our hiatus, and or will be adding in new questions and answers to make this a resource hub of information for the hiatus. We will make a minor update ping and news bulletin when we have updated this in a significant way that will affect the information of this original post.

• Q- This is out of the blue and it feels like I won't be able to participate in the species. What can I do to earn currency without having my fox approved and or on the ML?

A: use our npcs! or ask in the request channel for foxes to draw! You can also go onto the masterlist and hit the gift art allowed button and search to find many foxes who are open for artwork or usage for prompts!

• -On the topic of prompts, will we be able to do the year long ones still?

A: yep yep! pass it along and self care will be available during this time. you may also earn crystals by doing fox of the month, or making any form of artwork excluding crafts as this is being reworked.

• Q- This isn't fair to users who were making their designs and now have to wait 2 months for it to be approved.

A: We are sorry for this inconvenience, at this time the myo staffing have been facing some very strong irl situations and issues that have taken their time and energy almost completely away from species work. approving designs for the species is a tricky balance and is case by case, as things will slip by sometimes and then lead to a problem later on, or will receive a rushed answer that has not been talked over, which gives way to more confrontations and tension in the community, which we are trying to work on as best as we can to better handle these situations in the future. This hiatus will help the myo staffing recoop to better take on this task, as well as give us time to look for new myo staffing.

• Q- What's going on with the cash shop? Will it be closed during the hiatus? And why?

A: yes as design updates and myo approvals will be closed during this timeframe, we will also be going through another phase of trying to determine what is the best pricing for myos and the best way to manage the shop for said myos. more of this will be explained in a future bulletin

• Q- The species is on hiatus but you're still making adopts?

A: yes, as some of the staff team relies on this species for income to support themselves and or their families as they can, and genuinely enjoy creating designs for the species and bringing in new takes and ideas to inspire users! during this hiatus we are still active in some ways as other things are being reworked, and for some of the team making adopts is a way to relax and enjoy the work we already do! we thank you for your understanding on this decision.

• Q- What's going on with the craft earning rewards?

A: During the hiatus any Craft submitted to the crystal gallery will get 1 Crystal only. Our goal is to have the worth fixed by the end of the hiatus. Once fixed users can submit a claim with the link to their craft gallery submission to receive the updated amount. We are also aiming to have this coded into our gallery submission form, along with the plan to separate out some of the choices such as backgrounds being merged with shaded and rendered, but this is still in the works as we must prioritize certain things above other things. We appreciate your patience as we continue to update ourselves on this.

• Q- Will the scavenging system be updated during the hiatus or put on hold as well?

A: Not at this time, as we will instead choose to focus on other matters at hand that are more pressing

• Q- What if i want to trade sell or gift my fox? or soul bind them if my six months is up during the hiatus?

A: all good to do! soulbinding is done via the claims system and does not affect the listed things we wont be doing

I am tagging everyone on this because this is a rather important announcement that I am going to be making. 

From TOMORROW until OCTOBER 1st 2022, the Scarfox Realm and Staffing will be taking a small hiatus. 

We have come to a decision that we will need some time to come back with some updated stuff as well as editing somethings on the site and more events to come. 

Updates will be going out between these months as you guys traverse the site. I request that in during these two months, questions about MYO updates and design updates be placed on a temporary hold to give us time for our small MYO team to recover and hopefully hire more MYO mods. 

I am kindly asking that all claims, myo designs, and design updates be placed on a brief hold.

That being said, there is an issue I need to address regarding to personal health. Due to a situation, I myself need a small breather from the community as things today have led to uncertainties. I am going to be taking a bunch of medication for my recent diagnosis and this situation has affected my mental health. I need to take a small moment to gather myself and my thoughts before I continue to put more into the species as a whole. Provided proof of my diagnosis is below as well as proof that I do need to pay for these meds as my insurance does not cover them.

I'm not giving up on it I just need a small break and come back fully fresh to continue doing work on the site and expanding. 

Please I ask kindly that the community complies with our decision as staff. 

Thank you for your time and support!

time is about halfway up to enter for this draw to adopt, please make sure you have your submissions in before the end of the month (july 31st midnight cst) to count! the current entries are looking beautiful, and we know this is going to be a tough choice to make! thank you so much for your participation, and happy 4th of july!!
