Spring is in full swing! In today's update, you'll get a look at the new Cinnabunny reference guide, as well as other fun assets for the group. Additionally, our dear redcrowz has more qualtiy of life updates for us here on Lorekeeper! Finally, it's time for our annual Cinnabunnalia gacha, as well as GA + PGA term change-overs.

Let's dive in!

Banner

This month's banner comes to us courtesy of @watermelvin, fluffbeak, and narushishi ! Be sure to hype them up about their lovely contribution!

April Prompts

Prompts have been updated for this month! Have some springtime fun with your Cinnas and earn rewards.

GA + PGA updates

The new set of Guest Artists and Pound Guest Artists has been selected!
Welcome to the GA team Xenoblade , cinnapvppy , and Rocandrol !
And welcome to the PGA team steakseed , @crowbar , and @mossydeer !

With the new term of Pound Guest Artists, we also have an update regarding the Pound itself: there's been a changing of the guard! 🫡

As you may know, Hal has been stepping in to help with the Pound for quite a while. We're happy to report that Poe is back in action and will resume work with the PGAs! Buck will also be taking on the Pound, as was initially intended with his re-hiring. Please direct any and all Pound questions to Poe and Buck moving forward!

But that's not all! Applications for PGA are OPEN, and there's a brand new Google form for you to fill out!

To ease our transition, the previous PGA sign-up list is being wiped / retired. We have found that quite a few users who've applied are no longer active in the community, and as such choosing PGAs lately has been difficult. Additionally, we are dropping the number of PGAs from 4 per term to 3, so that it matches the GA term number.

If you have been waiting for your chance to be a PGA, and you applied with the previous form, do not worry. One of the questions on the new form allows you to let us know that you have applied for PGA before. Poe and Buck will use their discretion to make sure everyone who is interested gets their turn to be a PGA. We still have redesigns to do from 2022, so there are plenty of Cinnas up for redesigns! Fill out the form above, even if you've applied in the past, and secure yourself a spot to be a Cinnapound Guest Artist!

🐰 Cinnabunny Reference sheet 🐰

Take a look at the first ever official reference sheet for Cinnabunnies, the elusive sub-species that only appears during the spring!

If you didn't already know, there is an age-old question here in the Cinnaverse: what really IS a Cinnabunny?  This question kept coming up over the years, due in part to the fact that we as a community tend to refer to any Cinna with the Bunny Ears trait as a "bunny". We're here to clarify that today! 🥕

As you can see in the above guide, the Cinnabunny is its own subspecies. Where previously Cinnabunnies were thought to be exclusively quadrupedal, it seems they too have learned to walk on two legs like their Teacup and Munchkin counterparts. Visually distinct due to their short arms and big rabbit feet, Cinnabunnies very commonly have other Cinna forms which also sport their Legendary Bunny Ears.

On the other hand, the Bunny Ears trait itself may be used on any  Cinna species, and will not inherently make that Cinna a Cinnabunny. This is most evident here on the Lorekeeper, where your Cinna's Transformation Tabs will show which base species your Cinna is. If you have any questions regarding the labelling of Cinnabunnies vs. Cinnas w/ Bunny Ears here on the masterlist, let us know in #ask-the-staff.

height guide update

Some of you may remember an old sketchy height chart Kenna started a few years ago... well it's back! Still a WIP, but Kenna would like to share this "alpha version" of the height chart with you all. You'll see every subspecies of Cinna here, as well as every pet! (For now that is... wink.) These sizes are approximate for now, and of course you may use your own discretion for personal lore and whatnot. Expect an update to this reference within the month!

Trait update: 🌟conjoined

After admin discussion, we have decided to add a new Legendary trait: 🌟Conjoined.

Conjoined includes the use of extra torsos, heads, tails, arms, and legs, without the need for extra anatomical traits. (For example, rather than needing 4 rarity runes for UB: Caterpillar, UB: Double Head, UB: skyscraper, and Double Tail, you could simply use Conjoined.) This is a very powerful trait! Please utilize spoilers and site warnings where necessary.

For clarification, Double Head, the step down from 🌟Cerberus, is still a Rare trait. Double Head simply allows either two fully functioning heads or two conjoined heads. (The world is your oyster, horror fans.)

Site Updates

Hal is back at it again with some quality-of-life website updates for you all!

AWARD CASE
If your Cinna has any awards, i.e. they were part of a specific adopt event or they are IP inspired, the badge will now appear below their main ML image. 

ACCOUNT-BOUNDING
If you for whatever reason want to trade-lock your Cinnas, meaning they cannot change hands for any reason until they are unbound, you now have the option to do so. Read Hal's notes about it by visiting the prompt here.
NOTE: Account binding will NEVER be implemented by the admin team without your explicit permission.

Cinnabunnalia

The wait is almost over! The Cinnabunnalia gacha, which includes adopts from all of our OAs and GAs, will be held April 20th, 2024. 

These designs will be small in size (chibi/nugget), all flavors, and all species. To keep things fresh, we are not exclusively selling seasonal/Easter themed Cinnas, so keep that in mind when buying a slot! Like the last gacha, rolls will be $55 a piece. Details on time of day, how to claim, etc. will come soon!

TEASER: SUMMER OF TAILS EVENT

As we look forward into the future of Cinnas, get excited for a summer contest! Kenna wants more tails, and what he wants, he gets. 😎 Details coming later!

And that's all for today! Thank you all so much as always for participating in our awesome community! Hope you have a great day and a lovely April!

Happy March, Cinnapeeps! The time has come once again for Cinnabunnies to hop their way into your hearts!

Alongside bunny details, we have some more updates that we hope find you well.

BANNER

This month's banner was drawn by poejangles and Coffeebara ! These Cinnafriends have found an ivy-covered gateway to a magical world! What will they discover?

CinnabunnY MYOs now in the shop!

It's time! From now until the end of May, Cinnabunny MYO slots will be available for purchase in the shop!

(As an added note: if you were previously experiencing issues buying from the cash shop, you should be good to go now! More site updates from Hal in a later segment.)

March Prompts

Prompts have been updated for the month! Check 'em out and get yourself some items! 

bunny gachaS

March 21st we will host an admin-exclusive bunny gacha! These designs will be small in size (chibi/nugget), all flavors, and all species. If you're chomping at the bit to get some admin designed bunnies this March, this is the event for you! Expect rolls to be $55 a piece. 

But that's not all!

April 20th is our annual Cinnabunnalia gacha, and for this batch we've invited our awesome team of guest artists to participate as well! Same parameters as the March gacha, with all flavors, all species, and $55 per roll. To keep things fresh, we are not exclusively selling seasonal/Easter themed Cinnas, so keep that in mind when buying a slot!

Site updates

Some site updates thanks to our lovely redcrowz ! These were already posted in #!-artist-updates in the Discord, but we are re-posting them with the monthly newsletter for optimal visibility!

You can now search by Flavor!

As a note, this custom code searches all  traits that have "Extra Info" text.  (Ex. If you search "Cow", you will get any flavor that has Cow in the text, but you may also get Cinnas with the Cloven trait, if they've specified that the Cinna is a cow. Moo!)

You can also now search by IP Inspiration! This is visible in the Advanced Search Options.

There are now Submission Checklists that help you double check your work! 

And finally, there is a line clarifying additional images for Cinnas in MYO submissions + Design Updates!

Hope you guys find these updates useful! As always, feel free to leave feedback if you have more ideas for the site. ♥

We are now a community server!

We have used the last two weeks to beta test some Community Server features. We're here to let you know what all will be implemented moving forward in the Cinnaverse Discord!

Announcement Channels

These are special channels that enable you to broadcast messages beyond your server. Users can “Follow” your announcement channels and receive those updates directly to their own servers.

Explicit Media Content Filter

This is a mandatory safety feature from Discord and may label some non-explicit images "Explicit Media" at times, unfortunately. (We apologize for the inconvenience!) Here are methods to circumvent the non-explicit filter on your images:

• Put a background on your image
• Adding a black line on top of your image
• Color shift your image
• Cropping the image
• Attach a link of the image to your message

Forum Channels

We have decided to implement forum channels for the sake of organization and prevent overposting in order to keep individual posts on topic! In other words, they're optimized thread-only channels that can be easily searched and organized that reduces clutter and overposting! They are incorporated with required tags that can be easily searched. 

We have decided to convert the following channels to forum channels below:

• ⁠❓-ask-the-staff: Create a post each time you have a question!
• ⁠⭐-feedback-and-suggestions: Create a post for each time you have feedback or a suggestion!
• ⁠⛅-helpful-advice: Create a post for each time you are seeking advice or help!
• ⁠🎨-commission-ads: Create a post for your weekly commission listing!
• ⁠💸-trading-center: Create a post for your weekly trade listing!
• ⁠💕-requests: Create a post anytime you want to take requests!
• A dedicated swap channel whenever an event warrants a swap period!

Post guidelines and rules are written and pinned within their respective channels.

Thank you all again for reading, and we hope you enjoy this update!

Lorekeeper News

Our website is undergoing some updates as we get ready for the new year. You may notice some fleshed out and condensed species pages, lore tidbits, and world details you can use in your stories and character designs. Along these additions and small formatting updates, we have fixed up our FAQ, and are curently working on reflecting these changes on our dA group page. We're changing up some of the featured art, and adding new drawings for old and recent items. We'll keep you posted on these tiny asset changes as they come. 

CHANGELOG

Major

Minor

More to come! As always, Lexi's open to new website suggestions!

Theme of the Month

The Theme of the Month Cinna that is chosen as a showcase by the end of each cycle will be validated free on the Masterlist, no slot or traits needed!
This months theme for participation is Coziest Comfort ! We got one entry last month, and they'll be up for free raffle soon! 🍎

💸 Discord advertising/trading channel updates

 The advertising channels have been updated. ⁠💸-trading-center + ⁠🎨-commission-ads will be purged every Sunday at 12pm CET (starting next Sunday) rather than each post being deleted after sitting for 7 days. ⁠🍞-market-chat + ⁠💵-trading-chat are also to be archived. General channels can be used to comment on adopts and listings, but not to be treated as replacements for the market chat and trading chat.

We encourage usage of the site, TH or Discord DMs for your methods of contact in regards to ads, as much overposting and even double bumping has occurred. These changes are also to relieve stress on the admin end. We hope you understand!

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we're happy to help! And we hope you enjoy the new prompts!

Good timezone, Cinnafriends! Today we'd like to announce our October event, which will be... drumroll... 🥁

🕸️ 🎃 Halloween CinnAdvent 2023! 🦇 👻

How will this event work?

Throughout the entire month of October, one adopt will be revealed per day. These Cinnas will each be Raffle to Adopt (RTA), giving everyone a chance to enter to nab the hallowed Cinna of their dreams! All designs will be Halloween-inspired, and some may even be truly spooky. (Common triggers + gore will either be avoided or spoilered.) All of our Admins and Guest Artists have been given the opportunity to work on this advent, so expect a wonderful variety of designs!

(For those unfamiliar with RTAs: Each day, one design is raffled. The winner of that day's raffle will pay for the Cinna! There is no entry/ticket fee. You must have the full purchasing amount on hand that day should you be rolled as the winner.)

Raffles will be done IN OUR DISCORD ONLY!

Pricing

The prices and rarities of these Advent designs will increase as the month goes on, building up until Halloween, when things get really exciting!
Oct. 1st-10th: $55
Oct. 11th-20th: $65
Oct. 21st-31st: $75

Special Advent Badge

All of the Cinnas revealed during this advent calendar will be given a special badge on the Lorekeeper to celebrate their festivity!

As always, if you have any questions about the event, feel free to ask in ⁠❓-ask-the-staff !
