Peppermint festival 2017!
Posted by PhantomFire on Feb 11, 2017 11:59 pm
Peppermint Festival 2017 is about to begin! This year our theme is Toxic love, broken hearts and dark emotion. ( plus zombies, cause you know.. who DOESNT love zombies? amiright?)


Here's a bit of what you have to look forward to...

Gifting Stump: As always, this is the perfect method to lob delicious treats and junk you want to get rid of.. <.< >.> at your friends! It can also be used to make new friends, since you can send gifts to any active user on P3.

Hugs!: Awwwwwww. Once an hour for the duration of the festival, be sure to visit another user's profile and give them a big pepperminty hug. :) It'll put a smile on their face, and also put a festival-themed item in your inventory. Be sure to collect them all, since some will be gone forever once the festival is over!

Shop Items: This particular festival also has a number of items in the shops, so make sure you visit them all. Never know where things might turn up!

Retiring Items: Okay, this can be a bit sad, but we have some items retiring this year! All returning festival items get a nice run of 4 years after their festival first release date, so we can make room for new ones. Festival Items originally released in 2014 will be retiring this year. These items are spread throughout the site, so be sure to grab them while you can. :)


Don't forget: if an item has a "17" in the corner, it will be 2017 ONLY and will disappear after 11:59 PM on the 15th. If an item has a corner icon but no date on it, it is a returning festival item and should be back next year! If an item has no corner icon, well, it's just a normal item that will stick around after the festival.


We hope everyone enjoys, and happy Peppermint Festival to ALL! We <3 you!

Hello Puma Peeps!
We have a new feature for you!


WISHING STARS

wishing_star_art.png

Wishing Stars let a user obtain 5 of an item with art they have commissioned or purchased from a SITE ARTIST.

Please note you should acquire the art for your item before purchasing a Wishing Star!

If the user wants more copies of the item, they may use another wishing star to get 5 more, with no limit on how many times they may purchase.

This is not a commission system! It is up to the artist(s) if they wish to accept commissions. Please read everything thoroughly before using!

PLEASE NOTE: PRICES FOR ART WILL VARY AT ARTISTS DISCRETION!



How to use:

1. Purchase art from an APPROVED site artist. We will not accept any other art at this time. This transaction is between you and the artist, please see artist's sales threads.

2. When you have received your art, send your Wishing Star to PhantomFire [ #1 ]

3. Send a message to PhantomFire [ #1 ] with the following information:

- Describe the art or include a link to an image of what you purchased.
- The Username and ID of which artist you commissioned or purchased art from.
- What you would like your item called. (NOTE: You must still abide by our TOS, and if the name is found to be an issue it may be subject to change.)
- What you would like the description of your item to be. (Again, following the TOS, and subject to change.)
- Whether your item is exclusive or to be sold in the custom items shop.

4. Wait until your items arrive!

5. (Optional) If your item is Exclusive, obtain 5 more of your item by sending another wishing star to PhantomFire [ #1 ] and a message with your request!

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION THOROUGHLY!

Can I sell my art, or use my own art for Wishing Star items?
- Not at this time. Accepted art is currently limited to approved site artists.

Can I sell the items I get from using a wishing star?
- Of course! You can keep or sell or gift away the items, they are yours to do as you please with!

What does exclusive mean?
- The item is created for you and you alone! Only YOU can obtain more of it.

Can I give or sell my rights/ownership to create more of an item to someone else?
- Not at this time. However, you can permit the item to be sold on P3 for everyone to purchase if you so desire.

What about copyright or trademarked characters and items?
- Your item must be different enough from the base material and not contain symbols or logos. We also cannot use franchise names, etc. Your item may not be accepted if it is too close to source material.

Can I get recolored items that exist on P3 already?
- Yes! However certain items are off-limits. Tiger Eye Shop items and memorial items are not allowed. Festival or common items are OK. Some files may not be available. Check with your artist!

Can I commission any site artist?
- No, they must be on the Approved Site Artists list. Not all artists will accept commission work, some may only be interested in selling pre-made items.

I have a problem with an artist, what do I do?
- Send a message to PhantomFire [ #1 ] detailing the problem.

Can I change my item once its made?
- Typos and art errors can be fixed.

I have a Wishing Star but no one will draw what I want!
- A Wishing Star does not guarantee you will get exactly what you want. Our artists may not have time, or may not be comfortable with your request. Your item must also fall within our TOS and not be a copyright issue. Please keep this in mind before you purchase a Wishing Star! Obtain your art first!

January... the change has begun
Posted by PhantomFire on Jan 05, 2017 12:37 pm
Happy New Year. Some new happenings are in store!
We will be handling TE items differently from now on. When they go on sale for 1 month they will be 2TE or 3TE. After that month they will raise in price 1TE but will remain for 1 year. They will then be replaced by the next years item. I will be opening a few new shops to handle the way we are going to be handling things :) I hope everyone will enjoy it!



Now, for our TE Items this month:

Wishing Kettle
The Legend

In what is considered a long time ago to a puma, a wizened old wizard appeared in the town square. He stood, silent, watching the pumas at play. Slowly they started to take notice of the old man.. and cautiously crept closer for a better look. The wizard had an old copper tea kettle clutched in his hand and he raised it above his head and called loudly "PUMAS!" They all stopped what they were doing and crept closer in hopes of a really good and free cup of tea. Ah, but no! It was not tea he was peddling as he held out the copper kettle. It was something so much more.
"Pumas," he said "This is a wishing kettle! I have chosen you to be its guardian! It will grant you ALMOST any wish! Do you hope for science and technology? Medical advancement? This kettle can do it! BUT be forewarned!! If you wish for the impossible, You will get" he paused to look at them each with a most serious expression "A Ferret!" The pumas gasped. The old man felt he had impressed upon them the seriousness of the situation. "yes, that is right. So, it is best to be practical! Wish for things which will make lives better! Enrich yourselves!"
The pumas now all excitedly murmured amongst themselves. This was a rare opportunity! They were grateful.

The old man smiled and placed the kettle down on a stump in the middle of the square. He thought happily how this would improve their lives, enrich their culture. He took a moment to smile and pat each of the pumas gathered in turn then said. " I entrust this kettle to you in hopes of a better tomorrow. I shall pass this way again!"

Well, the excited pumas wasted no time in getting down to their wishes and everyone had several turns asking for what they desired most.
The old man smiled as he walked away and out of sight.

In what was a very long time passing to a puma, the old wizard appeared again. Alarmed, he looked over the landscape and saw ferrets! Hundreds and hundreds of ferrets! All prancing and playing happily with the pumas. Ferrets in trees! ferrets in lakes! ferrets in the field and sitting on park benches. "Oh no no no!!" The old man cried as the pumas started to surround him "I WARNED YOU!!! Did I not WARN you?" Looking directly at one puma who stood there. "DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND MY WARNING?" He yelled sweeping his arm at the dozens of ferrets in exasperation.
"No, we understood," said the puma.
The wizard gasped. "Then, WHY? Why?" He implored.
The puma shrugged and replied "We like ferrets" and the gathered pumas all nodded in agreement and went off to wish for a few dozen more impossible things as the old wizard standing there mouth agape realized, he did not understand pumas at all. [ 2 TE ]

Site Update
Posted by PhantomFire on Jan 02, 2017 2:29 am
Starting this year, we will be offering the Premium Gift for sale in the TE items shop. They will be 5TE each. If you have premium you will get 1 for free with your account. However, if you do not have premium and you'd like the item, it will cost the same as 1 month premium does. ( Clearly premium is the better deal) These items will remain all year and will be retired when the item for the next year replaces it. There is no limit on how many you can purchase.
IMPORTANT If you have premium and wish to purchase another of these items, AFTER purchase MESSAGE ME. I will refund 2TE or give you the option to have a second of the item ( so Premium gets 2 for 5TE or 1 for 3TE)

We will be offering more in the way of items this year, I hope the variety will be enjoyable for all!

UPDATE:
I have stocked 8 of the most popular Premium gift items. If you wish to see which are now included in the shop check out the premium item thread pinned at the top of the general forum Or Click Here

If there are any you wish to see included, drop me a message and I'll see if I cannot get it added.
