The current season is summer!
Deep in Dream Valley, one will find the sleepless city of Daybreak, where the sounds of revelry can be heard endlessly throughout the nights. Bursting with nonstop festivals, celebrations, and parties, Daybreak is a city of merriment, welcoming tourists to partake in their passion for year-round fun.
At the heart of it all stands a curious, well-known stall owned by four keepers who swap positions each season, passing their duties within the small friend group seamlessly. Each seasonal host brings new wonders and trinkets to commemorate that season's celebrations, offering them to anyone who joins the festivities.
Come on by, grab some goodies, and join the party!
Every season, a series of items will be available to earn for characters.
These items will only be available for the respective season they're hosted within and will soft retire until the next time that season comes around. Typically, these items will be accessories placed on owned ponies, but there may be rare exceptions.
Players can earn items through RP, solos, artwork, and sometimes other additional means.
Every seasonal stall will accept RP/solos and artwork as "payment" for that season's items, but sometimes there will be additional ways to earn prizes! This will be noted in the stall post below.
Use the form found in the seasonal stall post to redeem the activity and earn an item.
The item can go to any character the player owns that is eligible for the item.
For those RPing or writing a solo, players earn an item for every 250 words they individually write within that season.
RPs do not need to be completed to earn items, but they cannot be turned in a second time. Players should ensure they only enter RPs/solo posts once they're sure they're done using it for items (check the rule below to see an additional note on solos). RPs and solos should be written in their own threads in Roleplay Adventures and linked to.
Players can choose to make one thread to accumulate all their solo posts in, if they prefer.
If they do, they can only redeem a specific post in that thread once. Make sure that the post's solo is completed entirely if redeeming!
For those taking the art route, the piece must complete at minimum two point accrual tiers from the AP earning art category and will earn the player two of the items.
For example, if a piece is a lineless painting + has a detailed background, it qualifies to take home two of the items. Art should be linked to.
Players may earn as many items as they unlock!
Keep in mind that most of these items have to be added onto a pony, and will take some time for drop off.
Some items may not mesh well with certain templates or stages.
Generally, there will be a conscious attempt to try and have every basic earth stage compatible with items released, but we cannot promise all templates, morphs, breeds, etc will fit every item. Please eyeball prior to entering, and if a pony is truly unable to be adjusted to fit the template a "refund" will be issued, where the player can choose a different pony to place the item on to. Players will be contacted in these situations.
Please consider also posting for AP with all eligible entries!
Likely, if it can earn a seasonal item, it can earn AP!
Anyone can enter!
Everyone and anyone can enter! Lack a pony? Come join the Discord and enter for a newbie pony!
All work must be done by the player, including art.
This should go without saying.
Ponies cannot be certed with these items.
They will be uploaded as alts, but will not receive certs. This is to save our certist (we love our certist, please love them with us) and not have to juggle certs for breedings. Ponies will receive official alts that can still be displayed in journals, used for personal graphics, and can perform other standard uncert purposes.
Players cannot enter already completed RPs, art, or solos for prizes.
RPs/solos/art must have been completed after the announcement was made that the stall has opened for the season.
Forms can be posted individually or in one post, but don't edit more forms into a post once it's been approved and rewards edited in!
Edits into completed posts will be ignored. In addition, all forms should be answered as they are, and without additional sections added. A form should be posted for every pony and redemption; do not post for multiple ponies and items all at once unless the redemption earned multiple items (RPs with higher than 250 words, art with more than two AP tiers completed).
Do not request specific placements/alterations unless a rule says otherwise.
It will always be noted if players can request alterations, stacking with other items, or other adjustments. Otherwise, items will be added as they are, onto the uncert provided for a pony. Do not enter characters that would have specific rules or visions for; players understand the risk they take entering a pony.
Items cannot be held on to for later use.
All forms posted will ask what pony a player wants the item attached to. That is the character it'll go on. Items cannot be "reserved" for later. Do not fear; all items will return in their respective seasons!
Do not consider an item owned until the post is confirmed with an emote from Nym/a staffer + has been edited with an image of your reward!
While it can be generally assumed qualifying posts will be accepted, it is best to stay on the safe side and wait for official approval.
Questions should be posted in the #ask-staff in the Discord.
Do not privately message any staff on Discord.
