MASTERLIST UPDATES

WEREFORM = LYCAN POTION

As we have streamlined the process of creating and approving alternate forms of Cinnas in the recent years, it's high time wereforms join the ranks to finish out those quality of life updates!

Moving forward, you will no longer see "Wereform (Rare)" on a Cinna's individual trait list. Instead, a Lycan Potion must be used to unlock wereforms. Many people were under the assumption that this was already how it functioned, so hopefully there won't be too drastic of an adjustment period. 

Once you use the potion, your Cinna can have as many Wereforms as you'd like!

Wereforms are required to go through standard admin approval in order to be officially recognized on the masterlist.

The used Lycan Potion will be visible in your Cinna's inventory, much like badges, Magic Food Dyes, and Morpho Cookies! Yay, items!

Chaosmites Renamed to Chaosi

Since Chaosmites are canonically the babies of Chaosi, we have updated all the site terminology for clarity!

Trait LIST + LABELLINg CHECKS

To update everyone on the masterlist sweeps, we are still looking over all Cinnas! (We have sooooo many Cinnas,  y'all....)

One of our current focuses is making sure IP Inspirations and Character Import Cinnas are properly labelled. If you own any cinnas that are inspired by an IP, or are based on your own original characters, please submit a claim here under "IP-Inspired Cinnas & Non-Cinna Forms". This prompt can also be submitted for cinnas you don't own, as long as you're 100% sure of the IP inspiration / OC import.

What Qualifies As An IP Cinna + OC Import/EXPORT? (from nerdymacandcheese)

The definition has gotten a little muddy, but I wanted to clarify what we've officially decided makes a cinna an IP cinna.

• Any cinna directly inspired by an existing character, song, show, etc.
• Any cinna directly inspired on a moodboard / group of images that's intentionally based on / includes a specific IP.
• Any cinna that includes a specific symbol / logo from an IP. (ie. Pokeball markings)
• Any cinna based on an IP related dessert. (ie. Pokepuffs)

This criteria applies no matter how close your cinna looks to the actual IP. No cinna qualifies as "distinct enough" if the cinna was made to be directly inspired by an IP. A cinna cannot lose its IP label, but it can gain an IP label if a non-IP cinna is redesigned to be directly inspired by an IP. This also applies to OC Imports / Exports. OC Imports / Exports fall into a similar criteria.

• Any cinna directly inspired by your own OC.
• Any cinna meant to be an alt-form of your own OC
• Any cinna that has non-cinna forms. (ie. Human Forms)

Trait ART UPDATES

Updated trait art is still in the works! Here are the newest additions:

We thank Playdeadpossum for all of her hard work, and thank you all for your patience!

💾 Website Updates

IMAGE BLOCKING

A feature has been added where users can black out site images that they do not wish to see, all uses of this image across the site will be censored for them (provided they use the same image URL on the site).

You may censor masterlist images and icons, user icons, items, and traits at the moment.

The widget is disabled by default. Users can enable the widget to block images at will. You can block however many images as you like then completely disable the widget for yourself, keeping the site "clean" of the button while retaining those censors for yourself.

AVATAR/User BORDERs

Another feature has been added that allows for cosmetic borders around your icon!

All borders can be seen here. Borders can be changed in your settings.

Borders will be rewarded through MYO Prompts and Events. More ways to get borders will be announced accordingly!

For November's MYO Prompt's user border reward, you can choose between Pumpkin Sliced and Pumpkin Pied, both drawn by the lovely redcrowz !

There are more borders to come! Expect these to roll out over the course of the next year!

CHAOSI EGGS OFF THE SHOP AND ITEM PROMPT

We're currently reworking Chaosi behind the scenes, so we will be temporarily taking Chaosi Eggs out of the shop and item prompt. You may still submit MYOs on hand or use them in the wishing well, and we will be back soon with news and updates. Check back in soon!

ITEM TRANSFERS

Transferring items is more streamlined: you may now type the user rather than scroll through the list of users to transfer an item.

That is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff! Lots of love. ❤️ Take it easy this fall!

DRAW TO ENTER (DTE) - 10/30

If you haven't seen it already, darkvvision and poejangles have done a Poellab for a DTE (Draw to Enter) Raffle!

The requirements are:
FULLBODY — Please make sure your drawing submission is a fullbody of the Cinna! Flat color is acceptable, but we’d love to see shading! Make your entry as simple or detailed as you like, whether that be a simple fullbody or a full scene with character interactions! This will not count as extra points or anything, so no pressure.

One submission per person — Again, we’re not tallying extra points or raffle slots for anyone, so even if you draw 7 pieces, you may only submit 1!

Can't / Don't wanna draw? — We know that some Cinna owners just like collecting pretty little food creatures to look at and/or make stories for, so as an alternative  entry, you can write a 500 word story for this Cinna!
We do urge drawings though as all the submissions will go into the gallery of this design for whoever wins the raffle!

Submissions will end on 10/30,  and the winner will be announced on 10/31 (Halloween)!
Tysm for participating, and we’re so excited to see what everyone comes up with! Get scribblin’!

HALLOWEEN Adopt-o-rama

We have a sweet and spooky adopt event prepared for you all this month! This is a doozy, so be sure to read all the details to ensure you know when adopts will drop!

The admin team is shaking things up this year with 3 flatsale batches and 3 (or more :eyes:) auctions! These flatsales will include designs from all of the admins, and the auctions are collabs between admins!

Thursday, October 10th - Micro-Nugget Flatsales + Auction

Thursday, October 17th - Chibi Flatsales + Auction

Thursday, October 24th - Full Flatsales + Auction

All of the relevant info for the batch releases, the batches themselves, and the auctions will all take place in correlating Discord channels! (#, #, #, #)

In addition to this calendar of releases, Kenna might have some site-exclusive adopts going up in the month as well... Keep an eye out for those here on the LK!

GUEST ARTIST BREAK

We've been blessed this year with a whole hoarde of amazing guest artists! As you may know, there are more than a few open adopts, which can be found in #official-adopts and on the LK in UnsoldAdopts. To give the market some time to breathe and allow the open Cinnas a better chance to sell, we will be taking a break from GA terms for the remainder of 2024. When we start up again in 2025, there will be new guidelines in place to ensure everyone's adopts get the attention and time they deserve! Thank you all so much for your hard work, and we'll see you in the new year!

💾 Website Updates

We've got a quick one for you all this time, so here's the rundown:

NEW GUIDE PAGE

The site guides have been updated! Check out the sparkly new look of the joint. ;)

MASTERLIST UPDATES

If you didn't see last week, @nerdmacandcheese cross-posted an announcement regarding some masterlist functions! You can read that announcement here!

Claim Game RULE CLARIFICATION

If you are a regular in the Cinnaverse Discord, you may know about our little drawing game called The Claim Game! This is a fairly simple art game commonly found in other species servers, wherein you draw the Cinna of the person who posted above you, then send a reference of your own Cinna for someone else to claim. We have previously been fairly lax about the rules of the game, but as of late have received feedback that some entries have not followed the pinned guidelines. So here's a refresher!

Claim game pieces must be drawn from the hips up (aka halfbody), as well as fully colored. The pieces can be lined in whatever style you use, as long as the other two requirements are met. Keeping this standard of art in the game means no accidentally hurt feelings. Everything should be fair and fun!

In addition to the art rule clarification, keep in mind that you can only claim one Cinna to draw at a time, that it is common courtesy to edit your original post once you've completed your piece, and not to join the thread unless you plan to complete your piece(s) within a reasonable amount of time. The Claim Game should not be used as a mill for "free" art. Thank you all for understanding!

That is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff! Lots of love. ❤️ Take it easy this fall!

written by nerdymacandcheese

Hello everyone! As our monthly update approaches, I wanted to come forward with a small update about our masterlist!

Vintage Badge Redemption

As of posting, all vintage badges have been granted to all applicable entries. A cinna may have multiple badges if they lost multiple rarities. Each badge is labeled with the specific trait that has downgraded in rarity. One vintage badge can be redeemed for one rarity rune.

Vintage badges that are labeled with multiple traits (ie. Slashers + Jaws) are errors on my end. I have done my best to correct these error badges, but some may have slipped through. If you have one of these error badges, they can be redeemed for two rarity runes, or however many traits are labeled on the badge.

Similarly, vintage badges may be labeled with multiple tail traits (ie. ZigZag Tail+ Devil Tail). These badges can only be redeemed for one rune, as rare tail fusions only require one rarity rune.

Please note that Chaosmites and Cinnapets have not received vintage badges as these subspecies do not require rarity runes to use rare traits.

Additionally, Cinnadragons and Cinnawyverns have not received vintage badges for horns and wings, as these traits have always been free to use for these subspecies. The vintage badge redemption prompt can be found here under "Item Redemption"!

What's Next? / How Can I Help?

Our next step in this project is identifying any cinnas that have IP Inspirations or are OC Imports. These were largely undocumented up until a few months ago, so any and all help is appreciated as we move forward.

If you own any cinnas that are inspired by an IP, or are based on your own original characters, please submit a claim here under "IP-Inspired Cinnas & Non-Cinna Forms". This prompt can also be submitted for cinnas you don't own, as long as you're 100% sure of the IP inspiration / OC import.

What Qualifies As An IP Cinna / OC Import?

The definition has gotten a little muddy, but I wanted to clarify what we've officially decided makes a cinna an IP cinna.

• Any cinna directly inspired by an existing character, song, show, etc.
• Any cinna directly inspired on a moodboard / group of images that's intentionally based on / includes a specific IP.
• Any cinna that includes a specific symbol / logo from an IP. (ie. Pokeball markings)
• Any cinna based on an IP related dessert. (ie. Pokepuffs)

This criteria applies no matter how close your cinna looks to the actual IP. No cinna qualifies as "distinct enough" if the cinna was made to be directly inspired by an IP. A cinna cannot lose its IP title, but it can gain an IP title if a non-IP cinna is redesigned to be directly inspired by an IP. This also applies to OC Imports / Exports. OC Imports / Exports fall into a similar criteria.

• Any cinna directly inspired by your own OC.
• Any cinna meant to be an alt-form of your own OC
• Any cinna that has non-cinna forms. (ie. Human Forms)

That is all from me! Any questions or concerns with this announcement can be directed to ⁠❓-ask-the-staff, or you can contact nerdymacandcheese directly in DMs! Wishing you all a lovely morning / afternoon / evening / whenever! ❤️

Good morrow, Cinnaverse! Got a shortie for you this month, so let's jump right into it!

🍎 New Tail Tip Traits!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the scavenger hunt! We're glad people had fun following the NPCs along as the new traits were revealed. Speaking of those new traits...

Tail Tip is a new Trait Category that, as the name states, changes the tip of the tail! You all are already familiar with some of these (Devil, Maverick, Harpoon, etc.), but now we have new ones to share! 

Mace - Trident - Rattle - Scythe - Pincer - Startrail - Split (which allows for two different tail tips!)

Alongside, Devil Tail is now Common!

These tail tips are now available to use with the posting of this announcement! Happy designing! 

🦷 Trait Updates: Wild Classifications, NEW TRAIT ART, MAW + DEVOURER

During the recent masterlist trait sweeps, the team found that some animals' faces had been traited to 2-3 different categories. To help with traiting moving forward, masterlist admins and beta testers have a handy new list for you all! Descriptions of Wild Faces have also been updated for future reference.

Check the Wild Faces Here!

Alongside, we are introducing another Wild Face: Verminna!

Alongside, all trait art will be updated and drawn by Playdeadpossum !

Veminna encompases...

• Any species of Xenarthra
  
  • Anteaters
  • Sloths
  • Armadillos
  • Glyptodonts
  • Megatheriums
• Any species of Pholidota
  
  • Pangolins
• Echidnas

If you have any questions about any classifications, let us know!

Secondarily, we as a community have seen a certain style of Maw tail become popular over the years: Maw tails that look like real teeth, rather than the default stylized points. Moving forward, these more realistic, mouthy Maws will need the Devourer trait, regardless of whether or not the tail is intended to be a functioning mouth. Previous instances of this trait combo will be grandfathered in on the masterlist. 

💾 Website Updates

The cash shop has been updated with a new look and some new features!

☝️ Terms of Service UpdateS

The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy have been updated. Please give them a read and a refresher! Give a big thanks to Coffeebara for the Terms of Service overhaul especially!

With these updates, we also note the following additions and clarifications of the TOS.

Cinnas and Non-Cinna Forms

When creating a Cinna version of a non-Cinna design (or vise versa), please respect and be aware of any relevant species and designer's Terms of Service. Cinnaverse staff do not take responsibility for users breaking other species' and designer's Terms of Service.

It is up to owner discretion regarding the separation of Cinnas and their non-Cinna forms when reselling, trading, or gifting. The staff feels it is common courtesy to disclose non-Cinna forms alongside Cinnas, and the masterlist will indicate if a Cinna has non-Cinna forms.

IP / Media Based Designs

As a reminder, the Cinnaverse staff will decline any Cinnas based off of controversial figures and any sources that infringe upon our Terms of Service in any way.

As of September 10th, 2024, we are officially disallowing Cinnas directly based off of real-life figures (does not include memorial or tribute Cinnas of relatives) for the sake of privacy and respect. In the same vein, Cinnas based off of VTubers are not allowed. Cinnas already on the masterlist based off of real life figures or VTubers will not be affected by this change.

In terms of Cinnas based off real-life relatives, pets, etc., we have added a Tribute Badge to disclose Cinnas without disclosing specifics for the sake of respect. Submit a claim if your Cinna warrants a Tribute Badge.

We understand there are gray areas and nuance when it comes to these sorts of inspirations. The staff is open to look over any sort of inspiration sources and we will use our best judgement as deemed fit while following the Terms of Service. If there are any questions, let us know!

In general the Cinnaverse staff is working toward reworking and reformatting documentation regarding the species. If you have any suggestions or concerns about certain site pages, let us know!

That is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff! Lots of love. ❤️ Take it easy this fall!

🔍 SCAVENGER HUNT 🔍

We're happy to announce that this month (August 10th - September 10th), there is an on-site scavenger hunt you can participate in!

"Jeez! I can't believe I'd been so careless with such things... >_< This is sooo awkward..." Seems like HAL the PAL fumbled and scattered some data across the site... Looks like it's time to help her out!

How the scavenger hunt works is that you will be given a hint, and with that hint you will search the site until you see something out of the blue! Once you click on it, read the flavor text AND the next hint, click the link within the text to claim your item reward. Then seek out the next target with the new  clue! It's recommended to go in sequential order, since there is a story! This hunt is not meant to be competitive.

Feel free to comment your findings in the event channel created for the hunt! Make sure to familiarize yourself with the channel's rules and formatting.

🎊 POE GACHA 🎊

Our lovely resident jester poejangles is doing a gacha this month on August 31st!

The plan is to do 25-30 designs, and rolls will be $40 each. More info to come in a separate announcement come closer to time! 

🌠 JERICHO'S MAGICAL WISHING WELL™️ 🌠

A familiar shady saleswoman bat comes out of the shadows. She beckons you closer with a snicker. "Have some items you don't need?"

"Well... do I have the place for you! Head on over to Jericho's Magical Wishing Well! Trademarked... by me, of course." In a grand flourish, the bat unveils a stone structure in the depths of the alleyway, its presence filling the air with the sickening scent of sour candy.

With Jericho's Magical Wishing Well™️, you have a chance to drop an item in the well of your choosing, and possibly get something in return!

"Come on... try it! It's not gonna bite..."

At least... that's what she claims. Due to Jericho's shady practices of Cinnamagic, who knows what could come out of that well...

Jericho's Magical Wishing Well™️ is an on-site activity that allows you to turn in one item per day and will give you a randomized prize in return. Prizes range from nothing at all to Golden Meads and even Dragon Eggs! Try your luck today! 
Item drop rates will not be disclosed, but we will notify you if any major changes are made in the future.

🐀 A NEW CINNAPET EMERGES 🐀

What's this?! A new Cinnapet has found its way into your Cinna's home! Who is this little critter? 

The Jellyboa, created by Playdeadpossum , is a hyper little rodent with a jellybean-shaped body and a long thin tail that ends in a traditional Cinna tail shape. With tippy toes and little hands, what's not to love!

A Jellyboa's favorite foods are extremely high in sugar content, which contributes to their hyper and jumpy nature. Watch out! They have been known to prey on Oozebuds due to their sweet makeup and slow movement.

Jellyboas, like all Cinnapets, can also have a Titan form, seen here in another sketch by Zero: 

With voracious appetites, Titan Jellyboas will eat anything and everything in an attempt to get their sugar content for the day. One Titan tends to reign over a large colony of smaller ones, who will collect sweet treats and hoard them for their leader. Titan Jellyboas also do a lot of structural damage to trees, buildings, and other hard surfaces, as they gnaw on things to keep their teeth from overgrowing. 

 You can create Jellyboas of your very own with Construct Sugars, just like any of our other adorable pets. 

☝️ TRAIT UPDATES ☝️

We have a few trait changes going into this month!

Firstly, UB: Slime has been renamed UB: Sludge to cover more ground, such as oil, glue, and other sludgey materials!

Secondly, and most notably, we have decided to remove Alternate Palettes as a trait entirely.

After years of re-making visual guides, going case-by-case on approvals and still being unsure, etc., we've finally decided the best course of action is to not treat it like a trait at all, but like an item. Moving forward, a Magical Food Dye must be used to unlock any alternate palettes. The plus side here is once you use the potion, your Cinna can have as many palettes as you'd like! These palettes will not required admin approval unless you want them officially recognized on the masterlist, in which case you'll submit for approval like normal. The used Magical Food Dye will be visible on your Cinna's inventory on their page, much like badges.

We also want to let you all know that the masterlist staff has want ahead and given flavors to ALL Cinnas that were listed with "Needs Flavor". If you want to change a staff-given theme to one of your choosing, you can submit a claim. 

The masterlist staff will proceed with all of these changes accordingly. Thank you all for your patience!

Hey Cinnanation!

It seems like a strange phenomenon has swept over all of the species this July...

🌊🌌🌊🌌

In other words...

Cinnart Fight 2024 HAS BEGUN!

This event is meant to work alongside the official Art Fight if you decide to participate in it, but it's not mandatory! We wanted to give you guys something while Art Fight is on a good amount of people's minds.

Hope you guys enjoy, and happy battling!

The warm aroma of the Cinnamon Sea... The vast emptiness that is the void...

🌊 CINNAMON SEAFOAM VS. VOID STARDUST - CINNART FIGHT 2024 🌌

JULY 1ST - AUGUST 3RD 2024

The Jist:

Participants are split into two teams. Players "attack" people of the opposing team by making art of Cinnas you choose belonging to members of the other team. You are free to use almost any style. Your team receives points based on what you create for the other team with each attack.

The artist that receives the attack can then counter that attack by drawing a Cinna belonging to the person who attacked them, or pay it forward by attacking a different person on the other team.

At the end of the month, the team with the greater score wins.

But remember, while there are point scores, the real goal is to celebrate characters with your fellow artists.
Art Fight is about giving and receiving amazing art. 

Requirements:

• ⭐You are fighting for either the side of Seafoam (Cinnamon Seafoam) or Stardust (Void Stardust), much like Art Fight 2024! Participation of the actual Art Fight is not mandatory but preferred. Pick your team here and/or indicate it somewhere on your profile.
• ⭐ You must draw gift art of someone else's Cinna, preferably on the team you are against but friendly fire is allowed.
• ⭐ Any finish, any medium, any size is allowed as long as you created it.
• ⭐ Pieces will be valued by the official Art Fight's point system.
• 🌟 You can only draw a Cinna once for it to count, and any repeat drawings will not count towards Cinnart Fight (they are still valid for Official Art Fight, though). You cannot draw the same Cinna again and have it count for points. This is to prevent exploiting simple designs to rack up points for rewards. We encourage you to draw a variety of people's Cinnas!
• ⭐ Your entries will be counted at the end of the event and you will be given an appropriate amount of prizes for your effort. The winning team will get a bonus reward.
• 🌟 Rewards for this event are a secret and will be revealed at the end via an update. This year, however, we will treat it more like Chaosmay in terms of reward scaling and prizes.

Notes:

• Unfortunately, we do not have the means to autobalance teams. We do encourage you to keep the teams balanced when possible.
• Switching teams in the middle of the event is not allowed. If we catch you doing this without switching back (in case of an accident), you will not be able to participate from the next Cinnaverse event. You may join whenever in the event, however.
• If you have any questions, head to ⁠ask the staff!

Requirements upon uploading:

• Mark the art with the depicted Cinna(s) and who it is for in the Characters and Other Participants sections respectfully.
• If participating in Art Fight, link the upload to Art Fight in the description box alongside the calculated point total for the piece according to Art Fight AND the team you, the artist, are on.
• For people not participating in the official Art Fight this year, you may show a screenshot of the calculated point total rather than the link to the upload. You may have a another member of the server assist you if you happen to not have an AF account.

Description Example:

[link to Art Fight upload OR pasted screenshot of the point calculation]
Total Points: 75
Artist Team: Cinnamon Seafoam

TL;DR:
Appoint yourself to a team, draw a Cinna from the other team, get points to win and get rewards!

🌀 Tail Contest Results ⚔️

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the tail contest last month! It's always fun to see how creative our community is, and how passionate we all are about Cinnas. <3 Due to the number of entries this year, we have modified the way we planned to resolve the contest! (If you noticed we didn't do a public vote on the 1st... clown emoji. Apologies!)

Everyone who participated in the contest will receive a Rarity Rune Bundle! Those will hit your account after the posting of this announcement.

And now... we have 5 winners! Drumroll please... 🥁🥁🥁

1. Capsule Tail by Lvsu will be a Legendary Tail Modifier!

2. Belt Tail by GatorBites + fluffbeak will be a Rare Tail !

3. Trefoil Tail by furbyrott will be a Rare Tail !

4. Floral Tail Tip by happy-meal will be implemented as an expansion of Paradise Tail!

A HUGE congrats to our winners! You will each get a Golden Mead!

To check out everyone's awesome entries from this month, go here!

🌊 Artfight 2024 🌠

The game is on! Art Fight is in full swing this month, and as such, so is our Cinnart Fight! For all the details on how to participate, check the previous Announcement on the Lorekeeper or the respective Discord channels.

Information and choosing your teams can be found here!

🍭 Cinnapet Gacha 7/15

Surprise! There's going to be a sweet little treat for us all in the form of a Cinnapet gacha on July 15th! Be on the lookout in the next few days for the follow up announcement.

📢 Discord Updates 👾

The #rules channel has been updated! Rules have been re-written for both brevity and clarity. Please re-read them!

We now have a ping role to notify you when the trading center is purged! Go to #role-select if you would like to be notified a day before channel purges AND when they have been purged.

Additionally, we as a team have decided to remove the #helpful-advice channel. We've had concerns about venting and sensitive content in that channel, making it hard to moderate. We know The Cinnaverse is a lot of people's safe space, but we feel this isn't the place for things of that nature. We hope you all understand.

💻 Masterlist Updates 🔈

Just like every month, Mac and Hal have been hard at work implementing positive changes to the Lorekeeper! Here's what we've got for you this month:

- IP / Character Import Indicator - A lightbulb will now appear by a Cinna's name on the masterlist to more quickly show you they are inspired by an IP or are a Cinna form of a character. If you need this indicator, please submit to this prompt!

- With the same feature, we will now mark if a Cinna has non-Cinna alternate forms on the masterlist for ease of communication and tracking when trading + selling! It will be disclosed through the light bulb symbol by the Cinna's name and in the description of the Cinna. If a Cinna you own has a form that is not a Cinna, please submit them to this prompt! (This also applies if you turn a Cinna into another species, non-species, etc.)

- Trait Subcategories - We felt this was a less clunky way to display our traits after the mass update to Unusual Body we did last month! Nothing to change on your part. Take a look below!

🌌 Trait Clarifications 🌲

Alongside this month's masterlist updates, we wanted to clarify a few traits that we feel have been misinterpreted. This is no one's individual fault! We're just tying up some loose ends. <3< /p>

- Tree Tail has been a retired tail type for quite some time now. However, Kenna has clarified that the tail should have been dissolved entirely years ago, as it can be 1:1 replicated with Bun Tail. This change will now be reflected on the ML. (To be clear - this is NOT the Conifer Tail! That's not going anywhere, heheh.)

- As we expand our tail traits, we have decided to make Tail Tip its own trait category! This is for the sake of organization and rare tail tips do not need an additional rune for rare fusions.

- In the same vein, Tail Modifiers are now a subcategory, also for the sake of organization.

- Wild Face is getting a little expansion! Spiderbite is being renamed to Buggybite and can also be applied to things like grubs, caterpillars, etc.

- Alongside, HamHam will be dissolved and merged into Rodent, and any existing Cinnas with hamster faces will be given the Rodent Wild Face trait.

- UB: Void is applicable when a Cinna has parts of the body that is meant to be a literal window into "the void" or space. This is typically depicted with a very dark color and can have stars, planets, etc. visible. The implication here is if you reached your hand into the Cinna, it would go through them and into space, like a portal. We feel that a good handful of Cinnas that have been previously approved with UB: Void do not meet these criteria! As such, the ML team will be re-traiting some Cinnas with UB: Void to ensure they visually follow the terms of the trait. (Additionally, if we previously told you you needed a Rarity Rune to approve a Cinna, and you find we have now removed that trait, please feel free to submit to this prompt with proof to receive compensation for our mistake.)

We are still are going through the masterlist to make sure all Cinnas are up to date with our recent changes!

That's it for this month! Keep cranking out all these lovely Cinnart Fight pieces and enjoy your summer!

So long, cinnabunnies!

It seems as though the Cinnabunnies have hopped out with the changing times... Let's look forward to seeing them next year!

(Cinnabunny MYOs are no longer available in shop, nor can they be awarded via the monthly prompts. Any custom orders placed before the posting of this announcement are still valid!)

CINNA OF THE MONTH

Three lovely designs have won last month's Theme of the Month! Congratulations fluffbeak , gothicrift , and Almondlover ! All of these Cinnas have been made official and should be on your accounts. <3

Don't forget, you can choose to draw these Cinnas instead of an NPC for June's Rarity Prompt as well!

This month's theme is "Spirit of Adventure"! Design a Cinna that you feel fits that prompt and submit it to the gallery HERE!

JUNE PROMPTS

The MYO and rarity prompts have been updated for June! We can't wait to see what you create this month!

GA + PGA UPDATES

The new set of Guest Artists and Pound Guest Artists has been selected!

Welcome to the GA team fluffbeak , biologyny , and ophelisae !
And welcome to the PGA team kavvee , Parrotina , and Miikage !

Applications for GA are OPEN, and there's a brand new Google form for you to fill out!

Just like in April, the previous GA sign-up list is being wiped / retired. Quite a few users who applied with our initial form are no longer active in the community for a variety of reasons, and as such choosing GAs has been a bit difficult lately.

Fill out the shiny new form above (even if you've applied in the past) for your chance to become a future Cinnaverse Guest Artist!

TOYHOUSE World UPDATE

Coffeebara has made a wonderful change of scenery to our Toyhouse World! Check it out!

The Toyhou.se world exists as a landing page, and as such does not hold its own events, prompts, etc. It is simply there for if you use Toyhou.se and would like to further "officially recognize" your Cinnas. <3

Chaosmay rewardS

What an incredible turnout this month! We're so happy that a community has come together to create tons of quality artwork.

We are delighted to report that you all created over 300 Chaosmay submissions for this event!

Congratulations on reaching the highest reward tier available! We hope you enjoy the spoils of your labors.

Submit to this prompt with your submission(s) to claim your rewards!

In addition to your boons, Kenna has for us a brand new reference sheet for adult Chaosmites, also known as Chaosi:

Buck Summer GACHA 6/14/24

Admin Coffeebara will be holding a gacha this Friday, June 14th! These designs will be on small canvases (Nuggets), with rolls at $45 a piece. Buck aims for 40 designs in total, but if there are changes, he'll let you know in #artist-updates.

The theme for the batch is "Summer Fun"! Expect Cinnas of all species and flavors!

SUMMER OF TAILS contest

The posting of today's announcement marks the start of the Summer of Tails Contest!

Your task will be to design a NEW Cinna tail! Its shape should be unique from our current set of tails (which may require you to get creative - the world is our oyster with tail fusions!), and it should be given a neat / clear reference.  Submit your pieces to THIS gallery!

At the end of the contest, six tails will be chosen to enter a community vote on which ones should be real. After the votes have commenced, the top three tails will be implemented into the species!

Everyone chosen will receive a Rarity Rune Bundle, and the winners will each recieve a Golden Mead!

The contest will be from June 10th to July 1st. Winners will be revealed on July 10th in our monthly update!

Have fun designing!

TRAIT Changes + additions

And finally... the beef of our update! There are quite a few changes to our trait list!

Since the changelog / written description of all the changes can be quite overwhelming to look at, Coffeebara has made a visual:

UB Category Changes:

• New UB categories: Anatomical, Elemental, Supernatural, and Artificial. 
  • Anatomical took in traits from Material, which was dissolved
  • Elemental is mostly the same, but with some expanded traits
  • Ethereal is renamed to Supernatural and has some new traits
  • Synthetic is renamed to Artificial and expanded upon considerably
• Wild faces are now their own trait category separate from UB: Anatomical [not on visual]

Dissolving + Combining:

• Jaws, Slashers, Xeno, and Compound Eyes have been dissolved -  all are free to use & untraited (aka will not be listed on the ML)
• Cropped Ears dissolved and relabeled as Point Ears
  • Can still be made with Point Ears trait [Also applies to Bunny variations]
• Puppy Ears dissolved and relabeled as Flop Ears
  • ANY ear that bends, folds, etc. is covered by Flop Ears trait [Also applies to Bunny variations]
• Cropped Tail now falls under Injured Tail, thus making it common.
  • Fusing a Cinna's tail with Injured means the tail is either notably sliced / severed / shorter, or has taken on another broken visual (i.e. broken eggshell, broken heart)
• All UBs under the Arthro category are combined into one trait - Anatomical (Buggy)
• Monstrous (Zilla) now falls under Anatomical (Scaly)
• Anatomical (Dach) & Anatomical (Skyscraper) are combined into Anatomical (Stretched)
  • Anatomical (Stretched) now allows for stretched arms & legs!
• Monstrous (All Ears) & Anatomical (Caterpillar) now both fall under Anatomical (Extra Limbs)

OTHER TRAIT Changes:

• Elemental (Fluid) has been expanded into multiple new traits depending on the design's context
  • Elemental (Water)
  • Supernatural (Blood)
  • Edible drinks, i.e. sodas, alcohol, etc., are covered by Anatomical (Edible) 
• Elemental (Neon) has been expanded into multiple new traits depending on the design's context
  • Elemental (Electric)
  • Supernatural (Glow)
• Material (Goo) has been expanded into multiple new traits depending on the design's context
  • Artificial (Slime)
  • Supernatural (Ecto)
  • Edible goop, i.e. marshmallow fluff, caramel, etc., are covered by Anatomical (Edible)

• Anatomical (Picasso) has been renamed to Anatomical (Abstract)
• Ethereal (Digitized) has been renamed to Artificial (Digital)
• Material (Edible) has been recategorized to Anatomical (Edible)
• Material (Mech) has been renamed to Artificial (Tech)
• Horns & wings are now common (still listed on the ML)

With this, we are working on fixing all Cinnas' trait lists (as well as flavor formatting) one by one, so please be patient as we implement these changes! Alongside, please refrain from asking about outdated trait lists until after there is an announcement made about us completing this task.

All affected Cinnas will be given the Vintage Badge!

(You may submit to this prompt if you would rather receive Rarity Runes for your Vintage Badges.)

With the conclusion of this update, MYO Submissions, Design Updates, and Pound Transfers are now back open! Please look over your trait lists and make adjustments!

And those are all the updates for the month! Quite a big update for the summer!

Thank you for reading! Hope you cinnafriends enjoyed all the updates!

If you have any questions, suggestions, or any other concerns, let us know either here or in the Cinnaserver!

The ??? prize for the 65 pieces tier has been revealed!
1x Cinnabunny MYO

NEW! 250 Piece Tier
Rewards: 1x Diamond Tail Trait , 1x Legendary Trait, 1x Rarity Rune Bundle, 1x Chaosmite Egg

INTRODUCTION

This event is art based, meaning participants will need to draw pictures according to the prompts and themes given in each stage, and submit them to our special gallery for this event! There are three stages that last one week each, with prizes given out at the end. Refer to each stage chat as they appear for current prompt info.

You’ve traveled far and wide across the hot, dry, pink Salted Sea with your fellow band of Cinnas, eager to lay eyes on the mecca of Cinnvilisation, food lovers, traders, and Cinna culture for the first time.

Cyzzyrryn, The Titanic Bone City, is revered as a sacred place that was once guarded by a clan of knights spanning generations. They protected it from griefers, theives, and natural harm until making peace with the outside world and allowing it to become a center for life, trade, and spirituality. It gets its namesake from the god Cyzzyzzyphyz, as it is thought the grand structure is a fallen godpiece that fell to the earth millenia ago in a great sky battle.

You do not come here without a goal in mind, however. You and your group have come here seeking answers to clues to whispers spoken of ancient artifacts and treasure buried beneath the colossus. Seek out knowledgeable Cinnas, and find the answers!

[+] Apologies for the inconsistencies with two prominent names, these should be the final iterations [Cyzzyzzyphyz, Cyzzyrryn]

[+] Cyzzyrryn: sizz • e • rinn
[+] Cyzzyzzyphyz: sizz • izz • ih • fizz

STAGES

Each stage lasts one week, all submissions count towards the goal as a group effort. Prompts for previous stages will be accepted in any stage.

STAGE I - 5/15-5/22
STAGE II - 5/23-5/30
STAGE III - 5/31-6/7

🌀 REWARD TIERS

These tiers stretch the entire event and each piece submitted counts as 1. All items will be given out at the end of the event [6/7] via Cinnaverse. There is NO RUSH to fill these tiers before the end of the event. Prompts will be accepted at any stage, if you’d rather wait for different themes or return to earlier ones, thats totally fine! Pieces will be counted at the end of each stage.

• 35 pieces [ 1x Cinna MYO[+], 1x Chaosmite Egg, 1x Rarity Rune Bundle [3 Runes], 1x Cinnapet MYO]

Let us know if you feel these rewards are unbalanced, we’re happy to review!

SUBMIT ALL PIECES TO THIS GALLERY

VIEW SUBMISSION

🌀 STAGE I

Your Cinnas make their way into the bustling world famous Grand Marketplace, which spans almost the entire titanic city. Along the pristine Skyline River that runs from the north to the south are thousands of Cinnas from all walks, food smells filling the air, and people busily exploring and working. You see vendors selling delightful food, desert clothing, tail accessories, cinnapets and their materials, and even blocks of ice said to be from the Freezerburn region.

Massive swaths of tent canvas the bones as if it were a delicate skin, protecting those within from the sun. Multicolored flags strewn like spiderwebs miles in the air, connecting to ribs and billowing in the wind. One wonders how they were placed so high. Hand carved homes and storefronts from rock and the bone city walls itself are one of the most prominent features of Cyzzyrryn, truly an oasis in the Salted Sea.  

Accepted Art Prompts [shading, multiple characters, background elements welcome but not required]

• Draw a Cinna experiencing the grand city of Cyzzyrryn for the first time, whether its looking out at it from a vista or among its bustling market.
• Draw a Cinna obtaining knowledge of an ancient digsite, whether from maps traded for in the shops, talking to archeologists, or getting shady tips. Feel free to create your own NPCs.
• Draw a Chaosmite exploring the city itself or the surrounding desert, with the city skyline in view.

🌀 STAGE II

Our Cinnas immerse themselves in the rich and colorful city, and along its hollowed out alcoves and stands we met a few parties willing to give us access to a previously unknown and untouched artifact site. It is quite a trek outside the towering, shaded bones, and thought to be a crater where something fell to earth long ago.

It takes hours to hike to this impact site, and we set up a small camp. Striking red and pink stone and spindly dry bushes give way to a relatively small, round, dry lakebed among the flat surroundings. This must be the place. The next day will be full of exploration and discovery.

Accepted Art Prompts [shading, multiple characters, and background elements welcome, but not required]

• Draw a Cinna or Chaosmite at the digsite excavating and studying findings [fossils, rocks, artifacts]
• Draw a Cinna or Chaosmite camping in or around the desert crater.

🌀 STAGE III

Days of hard work sifting the salty sands and chipping the red stones have exposed a rich bed of whorling fossils. In particular, a massive patch of rough, rainbow patterned scales.. or feathers? Excellently preserved by the desert, it will need extensive excavation to uncover, it cant quite be discerned..

Beneath the heavy paws and tiny clawed hands of our team, a faint rumble in the earth is felt. The center of the crater erupts, as if from a great and sudden explosion. A cloud of dust engulfs the site, a vortex of salty sand being whipped around by many wings. As it clears and your eyes adjust, a sound can be heard - a terrifying roar from the sky.

A prismatic serpent had rested for a millennia, here, and our business has stirred it from its petrified state. The mission has changed, we must contain its wrath before it escapes and causes damage to the great city.

Accepted Art Prompts [shading, multiple characters, and background elements welcome, but not required]

• Draw the unearthed serpent in all its terror and beauty
• Draw a Cinna or Chaosmite confronting the monster
• Draw a Cinna or Chaosmite using flavor magic and other abilities to take down the threat

MAY BANNER

This month's banner was an admin collab! Totally not because we forgot to raffle again... what makes you think that... 

Wonderfly done by poejangles nerdymacandcheese Coffeebara darkvvision!

We'll start the raffle shortly for next month's banner artists! 

PROMPTS AND CINNA OF THE MONTH

The MYO and rarity prompts have been updated for May! We can't wait to see what you create this month!

Next, we'd like to take a moment to re-introduce and expound upon the Monthly Theme Prompt! This art prompt allows you to design a Cinna based on a theme, which changes monthly. A winner is chosen in the next monthly update, after which that Cinna becomes official! It's another fun way to potentially get a cute Cinna for free just for being engaged with the art prompts!

(If you were a winner from a previous month and have not had your Cinna made official, let us know! Fill out this prompt on the site.) 

The winning Cinna will be crowned Cinna of the Month and go in a special public showcase! This Cinna can be drawn for the Rarity Prompt alongside the NPCs. 🌸

LAST MONTH FOR CINNABUNNIES

May is the last month for Cinnabunnies! 🥺

It's always bittersweet to see them go! Be sure to stock up on Cinnabunny MYOs and get any custom orders in before our tiny friends hop along and hide out for another year! 

ITEMS, ASSETS + MYO SLOTS (Oh My!!)

For our website update this week, we have condensed a few of our defunct / obsolete items! We had multiple MYO slot items that functionally worked the same, with the exception of how they were obtained and if they were account-bound or not. The following items have all been replaced with the Universal MYO Slot item in your inventories:

- Prompt MYO

- Prompt MYO with Rare Trait

Additionally, all Dragon MYO slots are also now condensed into one item that also got a new asset: the Dragon Egg! This egg also replaced any Cinnadragon MYOs and Cinnawyvern MYOs in anyone's inventories.

 We also updated asset arts for some that still had placeholders or that we felt could use some more visual distinction. Most notably, Vintage items are now a shiny sepia tone! 

Finally, with the combining of multiple MYO slot items, we want to announce that MYO slots and rarity runes are no longer account-bound, regardless of how they were granted initially (i.e. via the Pound)! Kenna felt the restrictions made things unnecessarily complicated at times, and we were inclined to agree! 

If you have any questions about any items listed here moving forward, feel free to ask in #ask-the-staff and we'll clarify to the best of our abilities!

NPC ROUND-UP

We've got a few changes to the NPC line-up, so let's do a little meet and greet!

Art by nerdymacandcheese!

Welcome Cinnapedia and HAL the PAL!

"Oh dear... This all seems much more complex than my typewriter..."

Cinnapedia is an ancient, solitary wisdom deity that spends most of his time journaling and note taking. He resides in a secret library that is said to only open for only 24 hours every millennium. His library contains thousands of hidden secrets about cinnakind... too bad he doesn't have many friends. It seems like modern cinnasociety doesn't even use books anymore!

After SOMEHOW sneaking into his library, Cinnapedia took a liking to HAL. At least someone appreciates his knowledge...

"Welcome to the Cinnaverse Website! Would you like help? ^o^"

HAL the PAL (HAL for short) is the little helper that lives in the website you're on right now! He always loves to help, and she loves to help so much that it ends up crashing the website... Whoops!
HAL loves organizing and making things easier for everyone! She loves bouncing around in code making sure the website is in tip top shape!
He's close friends with Cinnapedia and very much appreciates all the knowledge he's got!

He's very much responsible for taking all those old MYOs. Thief!

Alongside this news, we are bidding farewell to Vex, our previous pound NPC. Papa Cookie will take good care of the pound in their honor!

CHAOS-MAY EVENT 05/15 - 06/15

Get ready to don your khaki adventuring gear once again! An ancient dig site awaits you, Cinnologists, as do the Chaosi who inhabit this previously-hidden city. What fascinating artifacts might you uncover this time?

Chaos-May will be an art event with prize tiers and three phases! The event will start 05/15 (in five days!) and will take place in their own channels in our Discord server!

More detailed information on the ins-and-outs of the event will be in those channels!

Summer of tails contest (june)

We've teased it quite a few times already, so here's some more information about the upcoming Summer of Tails contest!

Your task will be to design a new Cinna tail! The shape should be unique from our current set of tails (which may require you to get creative - the world is our oyster with tail fusions!), and it should be given a neat / clear reference. The admins and community will vote for which tails we would like to add to the roster! At the end of the contest, we hope to find 3-5 new tails!

The winners of the contest will of course be compensated for their ideas! More info still to come!

TL;DR

• New Banner by Admins!
• Prompts, Monthly Theme, last month  for Cinnabunny MYOs + OA/GA customs
• Consolidated MYO slots, no longer account-binding slots or runes, + asset art
• New NPCs!
• Ell Gacha (05/12)
• ChaosMAY (05/15)
• Summer of Tails (06/10)
