Spring / Anniversary MYO Event!

Today is the last day to claim a MYO from this event! Afterwards, you will still have until June 1st to design the Caffae within.

Thread located here!

Event-Only Trait!

There is only one new Event-Only Trait for this month, and that is Color-Changing Markings! Be the most fashionable Caffae in the bar with markings that can change color based on the latest trends.

We hope you enjoy this new trait!

In addition to the new Event-Only Trait,
we've also prepared several new traits as well.

Maintenance!

As you all know, Discord has changed the way that images work on Discord. As a result, most images within the species had broken.

We were able to take care of a few images before the previous bulletin, but now, all images are fixed!

In addition, we've added a clarification to the TOS regarding Fandom-based Kemonomimis.

Nobody's in trouble here! It's just some clarifying information for your needs.

Raffles!

Each Friday, we'll set up a raffle for the weekend that will end on Sunday, with various prizes!

When these prompts are placed in the Caffae Quests document, they will instead use their Caffae Quest bonuses, so make sure to take advantage of these while you can!

Winter MYO Event Reminder!

Today, 3/2/2024, is the final day to submit any last-minute requests for approval! All MYO slots that have not been submitted for approval or to be marked as WIP have been expired.

However, this is just to lead up to the next MYO event...

Spring / Anniversary MYO Event!

We have a new Spring MYO Event that also celebrates the anniversary of the Caffae species!

From now until the end of March, you will be able to claim a special MYO slot for the spring season! Thread located here!

Claiming in the thread will allow you the ability to design a Caffae or Decaff with traits up to Super-Rare, as well as being able to select one of the two Event-Only Traits to attach to it.

You can also upgrade your slot to Legendary by sharing the bulletin and joining the Discord, and adding Adopt-Only traits by tagging friends (up to 3).

You will be given an MYO number, but watch out -- these special slot numbers will expire on June 1st, 2024!

Event-Only Traits!

To go with the MYO event, there are three Event-Only Traits!

• Plush kemonomimi features (visual trait): They're soft, cozy, and can help you sleep better at night!
• Glass kemonomimi features (visual trait): While fragile, these features are often described as trendy. Quite a high-risk fashion-statement!
• Terrarium body parts (visual trait): Did you want an environment to call your own, something nice and portable? Look no further!

We hope you enjoy these traits!

Trait Releases

To go along with the new Event-Only Traits, we have also prepared a few new traits!

These new pages include much cleaner formatting, automatic links back to the older sheets, auto-counting of added traits and trait items, and automatic pulling of MYO information.

We've also updated all members with a 500 Golden Bean legacy bonus to show our appreciation!

All pages should have the new cleaner links. If any are missing, feel free to let us know here or in the server.

New Black Market Items!

In addition to all of these other changes, we are also introducing new items to the Black Market rotation! These are:

These items are also available now, so you can go to the Black Market to buy them!

The Golden Bean Academy Awards!

Part 2

Audrey has been a busy bunny, and it is now that she has all of the nominations gathered. She has also been in touch with her contacts, and has generous prizes lined up for the winners.

Now it's time to vote for your favorite Caffaes and Decaffs!

The survey is here, and voting is completely anonymous!

The winning Caffaes will net their owners 10,000 Golden Beans, equal to $20 per winning Caffae!

New Prompts!

We have two new prompts for this month, one of which is the start of a new prompt series!

• The Golden Bean Academy Awards: Are you watching these rewards? Or are you a nominee who has received contact from Audrey regarding the show? Are you a Caffae who has surreptiously pulled strings to make this a true show? You'll receive 600 Golden Beans for using this prompt this month!
• Western Zodiac Series (Pisces/Aries): The first of the new Western Zodiac prompt series, Caffaes who fall under these signs will receive 600 extra Golden Beans for pieces during this month.

When these prompts are placed in the Caffae Quests document, they will instead use their Caffae Quest bonuses, so make sure to take advantage of these while you can!

Winter MYO Event Reminder!

The final month for all Winter 2023 Event MYOs is at hand!

Autumn MYO Event Reminder!

Autumn is easing closer and closer to its end, and so too does the time to prepare your autumn event MYO!
