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!
