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! ❤️
