• How do I earn event currency?
  
  You will earn some event currency for each post that you make in the forums during the event.
  
  Additionally, you could get some by playing the game of chance every 30 minutes *chuckles* But it is a game of chance; you might win big, or you might lose it all. Do be careful with your bets!
  
  Chance Game Info:
  
  • Aces are LOW - don't be caught off guard!
  • Up to 10 pairs of cards to play every 30 minutes, if you guess correctly.
  • Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing it all by guessing wrong next round...your choice!
  • You can buy additional plays with your event currency... Quite an investment!

• 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?
  
  Unfortunately, with everyone just coming back and getting settled into their old jobs, the Staff has not had enough time to design, pixel, and upload a whole new set of commons for this event.
  
  

  ---

  ---

• Are there event rares? How do I earn them?
  
  While Staff did not have enough time for commons, they did manage to put together some wonderful event rares! You'll be able to find them in the Special Event Store as they are released. They will be the only thing in the Event Store but at least we will get to dust off the old store and use it again
  
  You can either buy them with gold or with event currency, the choice will of course be yours. Please do keep in mind that you will not be able to partially pay for one item with both gold and event currency.
  
  For event rare previews, please inspect this informational post.

• I don't have enough time to participate so I can't get the EIs that I want! - that's not fair!
  
  I do understand your discomfort. However... We did our best to distribute the rare items in a fair and and equitable manner. Truly, this was the best available option.

Event Item Previews

TBA

Hey, Magnus, I'm not a big card player, so I have a question about the chance option (which I'm happy to see return!) But, unfortunately, I forgot something.

Are aces high or low, or both?

Aces are a 1.

Don't be fooled by them !

Ace's face haunts me at night

HIM is correct, Aces are a 1, thanks HIM!

Aces and Kings are the only cards i trust in this game

Thank you both!

Hi all <3 I have a quick question - is your "mule" account allowed to play in the event games as well? (I have a "mule" that actually used to be my sibling's account)

That usually is up to the thread owners themselves. Most of them are ok with it, but some prefer if you don't. I'd ask in the thread itself.

It seems I have been late to the punch and other helpful menewshans have answered this for you... I apologize, it seems I missed placing this in the FAQ above! *chuckles* In case you have further need of the rules...
Chance Game Info:

• Aces are LOW - don't be caught off guard!
• Up to 10 pairs of cards to play every 30 minutes, if you guess correctly.
• Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing it all by guessing wrong next round...your choice!

I would like to second what Cora has said. For the most part, Mules are welcome to take part in chance and other activities unless strictly forbidden by the rules of the threads you are looking to play in. For instance, because the Challenge in the Hangout thread offers such a weighty reward, only one account per user is welcome!

Wait, why did no one tell me there was an event?! Ahhhh!

Lol. Well, now that I'm aware, hopefully I have time to join in between work and...more work.
Ah, I probably posted this in the wrong place. Sorry, you can delete if you want.

What day will the event item(s) be in the event shop?

I'm really surprised we're getting any for this user ran/ staff event.

First new items for I don't know how long, I'm sitting on pins and needles of curiosity. However, for me the shop is empty. I do hope that's not an error of sorts/

I believe the intention is to drop the first one tonight, but you know how things go it could also be tomorrow. I would be pretty confident in saying today or tomorrow though

i'm so excited to see what you made!!!

Not an error no, it has not been released yet. For this event, being my first one back I stayed kinda small on the items, nothing overly fancy but I think you guys will like them. At least I hope so

I'm so eager to let you guys see them. I'm a bundle of nerves like you wouldn't believe. I haven't Pixeled anything in about 5 years. But I do think they turned out pretty well

I would like to inform you that the first Valentine's Day 2023 Event Item is now for sale in the Special Event Store!

Aww it's super cute!!! Thank you so much!

Hoho! Do not thank me, Thank Cora! A fine talent!

Yes, thank you Cora, it's amazing! But uhh ... Magnus?

It's a hairpin. So, unless Peeblo glued it to your head ... ?

Just kidding! You still look handsome!

Oh it looks very cute on you Magnus
