• How do I earn event currency?
  
  You will gain some event currency for each post that you make in the forums during the event.
  
  Additionally, you might gain some more by playing the game of chance every 15 minutes. But it's a true game of chance: you may win big, or you may walk away empty-handed!
  
  Chance Game Info:
  
  • Aces are LOW - don't be caught off guard!
  • Up to 5 pairs of cards to play every 15 minutes, if you guess correctly.
  • Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing the pot by guessing incorrectly the next round...your choice!

• What is event currency for?
  
  It's there for you to be able to gain Event Items (EIs), which are our event rares.
  
  If you participate enough and earn a lot of event currency, you could get some free commons too!

• Are there event commons?
  
  Yes! Just head down to the Special Event Store.
  
  Note: Commons are all added to the shop, but need tagging for the previews to work - we'll let you know when that's done. [yes]
  
  Event commons will be available after the event ends. However, they will be moved out into the main stores and will retail for double their event price.

• Are there event rares? How do I earn them?
  
  Yes! You'll be able to find them in the Special Event Store as they are released. They'll be on the back page.
  
  You can either buy them with gold or with event currency, the choice will be yours. However, you won't be able to use gold and event currency to partly pay for the same item.
  
  Please note: After the event, the rares will be removed from the shops and discontinued.

• Why is the Sellback Store closed?
  
  The Sellback Store is closed during events to prevent people from selling back event items for a large gold gain.

  We have two for before the wedding: Bachelorette Party for Vicky and Bachelor Party for Mr. Mayor.

The avatar contest thread should be ready soon, sorry about that! :)

It all good. I'm just excited there will be one! :D

I'm going to let people know as I get things tagged, I'm starting from the back of the pile, Belly's done some from the front, and they end up in the store ordered by price, so it's gonna be pretty haphazard here!

Stuff I've tagged

Abigail bouquets
Rose circlet


Just starting on the Debonair set now, I'll let you know when those are done. [yes]

Thanks Jelly [hug] You guys work too hard

I've done Bliss sets and Flower baskets, starting on Jack as soon as I cram this sandwich down my throat.

i can't wait to get the money and tokens to get items from the event store 'sigh'

Ah, I kind of hoped we'd once again get 10 tokens per round of Chance, but can't have everything, can you. The commons are looking lovely. [heart]

rofl. I liked the challenge that Jelly issued for the ten rounds of Chance. But otherwise, I don't care.

Jack vest and pants tagged.

I also made cupcakes IRL which I'm super stoked about. xD

I kind of want to see a giant cupcake. Like its cake-sized, but cupcake-shaped?

You can't make cupcakes? Or you won't make cupcakes. [no]

Can't.

You don't understand I can barely microwave ramen.
