NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Hello hello everyone! The 2023 HALLOWEEN GACHA is coming soon! There are 91 USD adopts and 50 CW adopts, for a grand total of 141 adopts!!!

CW GACHA

Click the image to see a larger view. Patrons and server boosters get to see uncensored previews!

The CW gacha will be the first one we open on October 28, 1:45am UTC (See what time that is for you here.)
We'll also have a new system for it!

We'll open a Google form where you will fill in your site username and agree to the rules. The form will be open for 24 hours. After closing the form, we'll check that you have to CW to participate. Once that's confirmed, we'll randomize the names 5 times, then we'll go down the list of adopts and rolling for a number from the Google form, until we run out of adopts. Hopefully this way everyone has an equally random chance to get rolled for a CW adopt!

To make it clear, this means that there will be no rerolls allowed, and each person who submits a form entry has a random chance of receiving an adopt.

Here's a summary of the CW gacha rules.

1. Each roll will be 200 CW. You are expected to already have the CW ready before filling up the form. Anyone asking or trying to trade for CW on the day itself will be barred from joining the gacha, and will receive a warning. Also, anyone found to have joined without the necessary CW will be barred from joining the gacha, and will receive a warning.
2. The gacha will be hosted through a Google form. The Google form will be open for 24 hours.
3. After the form closes, we will randomize the entries 5 times. We will then go per adopt and roll for a random number from the list of people who wanted to join.
4. The results of the CW gacha will be posted on October 30, with a live link to the randomized entries for transparency.

USD GACHA

The USD gacha will open on October 31, 1:45am UTC. (See what time that is for you here. The rules will be similar to past USD gachas, with a few changes, as shown below.

1. Rolls are $20, and then $10 for each reroll ($5 to the skipped adopt, $5 to the claimed adopt.). AB’s are $50.
2. You can roll two times, and reroll up to two times each roll. You can only AB one adopt. If you AB, you can still roll once!
3. Staff, affiliates, and GAs are allowed to roll+reroll, but they cannot AB.
4. The first 15 minutes will be just for viewing the gacha image and rules, and no AB or roll will be honored during this time.
5. Please keep an eye on the comments, and wait for my specific comments to know when you can AB or roll! Comments that do not follow the rules will be ignored.
6. After the 5 minutes viewing time is up, AB will be open for 1 hour. No rolls will be honored during the AB claiming time. After I comment that AB claims are closed, AB will not be honored.
7. Comments will be rolled on a FCFS basis. After I roll, I will reply to you with the adopt you got, you will have 6 hours to reply, otherwise you will be skipped and the adopt you rolled will be put back in the pool.
8. You can claim a roll for a friend, just make sure to @ them in your comment. They will still have to respond/pay within 6 hours. You can only ask one person to claim an AB or roll for you. If we notice multiple people trying to claim for one person, all comments for that person will be ignored!
9. Once you claim an adopt, I'll give you the PayPal email/link of the artist! You have 6 hours to pay, and once you pay, please PM me on Toyhouse or Discord (artbymaxm) with proof!
10. This time, due to the sheer amount of adopts, there will be no swap bulletins after the gacha. The adopts will have a regular 2-week cooldown, after which you can trade them like normal.

BOUNTY FOXTOPUS

The BOUNTY Foxtopus for this month is Saiph, say hi! (Site/TH).

She keeps to herself. They always pay attention to their interactions with people, however, because they find joy in having conversations. Saiph is a starry-eyed romantic. She finds people fascinating and is always forming crushes and attachments, although they never seem to last. They love exercising and pride themself on staying fit.

We'll be accepting submissions starting November 1, 12am UTC.
Head on over to the prompt to learn more. Have fun!

The application form for the next BOUNTY is here. Good luck everyone!

🛒 MYO SALES

There will be no MYO sales for November, as we'll be busy with the gacha!

🎨 MONTHLY ARTISTS

There will be no Monthly Artist applications either! Thank you!

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

Hello Foxto friends, here's our monthly newsletter! Sorry for the delay, life comes at you fast >_<

RULES UPDATE: TRANSFERRING A FOXTOPUS

Please remember that all people who own a Foxtopus must have an account on the official site! If trading/selling to someone else, please make sure they have an account and that you transfer them properly. If you received a Foxtopus, and the previous owner isn't able to transfer it to you on the site, please let us know immediately. People who transfer Foxtopi to those without an account will receive a strike. Remember that the site acts as the masterlist, and it's important that the ownership history matches up.

BOUNTY FOXTOPUS

Due to the newsletter delay, we rolled a new BOUNTY Foxtopus from the previous form. The next form will be open for a month (ish) to compensate!
This prompt will be active starting October 1st, 12pm UTC.

The BOUNTY Foxtopus for this month is Nori, say hi! (Site/TH).

Curious by instinct, but hunter by nature. To simply put about Nori,  they are a wandering hermit, trying to find a place to settle. Somewhere  cold and dark as the sun rays hurt their sensitive eyes. They don't  really own anything to their name, besides the occasional dumpster  diving that is the ocean (and sometimes the surface). They don't talk  much either, but if they don't like what you're saying they will let you know.

Head on over to the BOUNTY prompt to learn more and submit to the prompt. Have fun!

The application form for the next BOUNTY is here. Good luck everyone!

🛒 MYO SALES

There will be no MYO sales for October, to give everyone time to save up for the gacha!

🎨 MONTHLY ARTISTS

There will be no Monthly Artist applications either! Thank you!

SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

Hello Foxto friends, here's our monthly newsletter!

MOUTH SHAPE TRAITS REMOVAL

Just a reminder that mouth shape traits are no longer required when submitting a Foxtopus. The traits SCRAGGY, PUPPY, and SMILE have been removed, and you can now draw mouths as you please. The other traits such as MULTIPLE MOUTHS, LAMPREY, and NO MOUTH, are still active and can be used.

NEW PROMPT: BOUNTY

We’re going to have a new prompt soon, BOUNTY! In this prompt, you’ll be able to draw the month's featured Foxtopus for a flat reward of 100 CW. You can submit one piece of art for the prompt EVERY WEEK, for a maximum of four possible submissions. This means that you won’t be able to submit multiple at once, so keep that in mind.

As for how we’ll choose the Bounty Foxtopus; every newsletter, we will open applications for next month’s bounty. From the applications, we’ll choose a random Foxtopus through random number rolling. The selected Foxtopus will be announced the 1st of every month, and they’ll also be featured on the site’s sidebar for the whole month. The prompt will officially open after the first BOUNTY is announced.

The application form for the first BOUNTY is here. Good luck everyone!
