Pumpkin Growing Contest
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 25 Oct 2017, 10:28 pm
Hi all! Just quickly letting you know that we've disabled the pumpkin growing part of the event for now until it can be better balanced and tested.
It may or may not be back in time for the conclusion of the event, but all rewards it would have offered will be available in some capacity.
Generally speaking, I'd like for the following to be true before the event returns:
1) Everyone can have a chance to get a gold trophy.
2) Your inventory won't be flooded with items.
I know things have been a little hectic lately, but I'd like to assure everyone your concerns are not going unheard. We'll have more updates on this situation soon!
Who's Got Candy?! For Real This Time!
Posted by Staff on 24 Oct 2017, 9:59 pm
Hi all, I’m here with good news, the Candy Shop is finally opening it’s doors! And if the coding gods are kind to us, the rest of the event will be kicking off tomorrow so cross your fingers, make an offering of bananas, whatever works for you, and hope for the best!
CANDY SHOP!!!
Candy Shop!!!
Ok! I know everyone is excited but try to stick with me through the news post before you run off to spend those candy points. Hopefully you turned in all that candy and stocked up on points instead of eating it like some people…Things have been a bit crazy around the Furvilla offices lately, candy hyper mods everywhere.
The current stock is not all that we plan to add so please be aware of that and try not to spend all your points before you see all that is available (we will be adding a recipes and a special item or two). But let’s take a look at what we have available for you all right now!
Event Mini-Pets will be breedable until the end of November!
And as promised we have a thread ready for those free default image changes for those of you that want the more gory version of the Undead Rabbit for their villager! Just come visit the thread and make your post once you’ve used your Magic Plush.
Undead Rabbit Image Change Requests
Looking forward to getting the ball rolling on the rest of this event, have a good night!

Stay Tuned for Take 2

Seems we are having some technical difficulties...Apologies! Seems there is a pack of Kritties running wild and knocking things off the shelves, as cats are prone to do...We'll be back with the open shop soon!
Undead Rabbit Update
Posted by Staff on 23 Oct 2017, 5:09 pm
Good news everyone! The wonderful Kiwiggle has seen your pleas and contacted me with a toned down version of the Zombie Rabbit! We now have the Undead Rabbit, which will be the design applied by the Magic Plush when it is used. The original Zombie base will be able to be used as an alternate version for Painties and we will put up a thread for users to request the default Zombie version be put onto their Undead Rabbit as a "paintie" so it can be marked for gore! Hopefully everyone will be happy with this compromise, toned down version for the site, and optional gory version for the users that fell in love with all of that wonderful creepiness.
And I know you are all waiting on the next parts of the event! We are aiming to have the candy shop open at some point today and then there is still a little fine tuning to do on other things so the rest will be coming soon. You will be getting that promised event extension as well.

Zombie Rabbit Villager Concerns
Posted by Staff on 22 Oct 2017, 8:51 pm
Good evening everyone! It seems there is a bit of upset regarding one of our Dragonsmaw Manor Event villager colorations due to the gore factor. Unfortunately we are restricted by coding and will not be able to tag the colorations for those users that are not comfortable with this type of content.
But what I can do is offer an option to any user that wishes to own this coloration and also wants to be sure other users are still comfortable viewing their profiles and villagers!
We will create a thread, once the Magic Zombie Rabbit Plush is officially released, for users to request that their villager be "paintied". Users will provide a villager link to their Zombie Rabbits and I will go through, putting "Painties" onto the villager (the exact same image) so that the Gore tag can be added.
I hope that this will be helpful to all parties. Thank you for expressing your concerns and being patient with us.
EDIT: I am discussing options with some of my Mod team as we are reading your comments and seeing that the proposed solution may not work as we'd like it to. Once we have a solid hold on a final plan we will let you all know! Thanks again for being patient and working with us!

Closed Door Exploit & Event Part 2
Posted by Staff on 21 Oct 2017, 6:57 pm
Hello all, just here to touch base with you on a couple things regarding the event!
- First off, we are aware of the exploit that allows users to interact with closed doorsteps. This isn't a major issue by itself, but continued use of this bug will result in all your karma points being purged as it is still abuse of an exploit which is against the site rules.
- Secondly, we are aiming to have the second part of the DMM Event up and running on schedule tomorrow. But if this ends up not being the case and we experience any delays, we are prepared to extend the event dates to compensate.
Also, just a quick reminder for you all to check out the Official Contests forum, we have lots going on there this month!
*September winners will be announced soon, apologies for the delays there.*

The Great Harvest
Posted by Mat on 15 Oct 2017, 12:00 pm
Chester says:
*grumbles as he pulls himself out of bed* Who decided starting these events at noon was a good idea? I’d love to shank the fellow… ahem. Greetings, villagers from far and wide! You may be delighted to hear that the Great Harvest has come, and we at Dragonsmaw Manor are thrilled to welcome you into the dark, creepy recesses of our home…
…with CANDY.
The Great Harvest is an event where we tirelessly plant pumpkins and carve them into Jack O Lanterns, where upon you can place them onto your doorstep and be blessed by the candies found within.
Begin by collecting your Pumpkin Carving kit by clicking on your own profile.
These pumpkin seeds you receive shall become your way of life. Use your herbalists to grow pumpkins, and your carving kit to shape them into the most beautiful of Jack O Lanterns.
—> 
Get it? Your skills will improve as you work at it, not all of us can be instant artists, hmhmmhmm.
You may want to keep these, they could very well be useful in the future.
Be sure to place your Jack O Lanterns on your doorstep (which is also located on your profile) so that the candy fairy who is most certainly not me can visit your doorstep every ten minutes and deposit goodies into your Jack O Lanterns.
But what good is the treat without the trick, hmm? Well, my fine ladies, gentlemen, and assorted others, you may find it pleasing that you can exert your will upon the doorsteps of others. What good would our Harvest celebration be if it were without some mayhem and trickery?
Earn yourself some positive Karma (who needs that?) by depositing additional Jack O Lanterns and candies into the Jack O Lanterns of your fellow villagers. If you have high Karma, you will find yourself attracting Batbats (hey, it’s baseball season, and even we at Dragonsmaw Manor have a fondness for the sport).
Earn yourself some negative Karma (yes, excellent) by smashing the pumpkins of your fellows, and stealing their candy before they can withdraw it. If you have low Karma, you will find yourself attracting these curious little Ectoplasm.
Clearly, you need to both trick and treat to earn the full swarth of creatures the candy fairy may deliver to your Jack O Lanterns, yes? Yes. It does indeed seem so.
“And what are we doing with this candy, Chester?” you might ask. Well, that is an excellent question. It is one that I have many answers to (see, sometimes the choice is yours, fate has not determined your path, etc). You can convert your candy into Candy Points, or you can eat your candy to earn score toward the Feast. Whichever appeals to you more I assume, however do not forget to withdraw candies from your doorstep or you may find your fellow villagers stealing it more often than not.
Note, however, that the candies (as inventory items) have an expiration date of 14 days, which means that they shall all disappear as soon as that fourteen day passes. Candies do not last forever, my friends. It is a most unfortunate truth to the universe.
Don’t forget to peruse the Karma boards and find out who is being nicest and naughtiest… and exact your judgement upon them however you feel appropriate.
“Chester, what about all of these other items we found perusing the museum archives” you ask? Hahahaha… it seems you will have to wait until the second half of the event to learn more about these, my friends.
Because I wouldn’t be a trickster if I didn’t leave you with some mysteries, now would I?
The second half of the event will begin October 22nd. On that day, the Candy Shop shall open with glorious treats and plushes (after I get an idea of how many candies you feisty bunch have gathered), you shall begin growing pumpkins with the extra goal of pleasing me with the Harvest’s Largest Pumpkin, and these mysteries shall be solved, and—
…
Wait.
Has anyone seen my hat? My goodness, where did it go now…
Event Data Corner
- Event Part 2 begins October 22nd, along with the Candy Shop
- Candies have a 14 day rotting period, like most foods and will expire on the 14th day after they have been spawned. Please be sure to use your candies, or convert them, before their expiration
- You can close your Doorstep from your profile if you want to take a break from the event, as many times as you wish
- You will only have the candy fairy visit your profile if you are online! The candy fairy visits every 10 min.
- The candy fairy deposits candy in your stash based on the number of Jack O Lanterns you have, and your Karma score
- Interact with other players’ doorsteps by visiting their profiles, where you can deposit candy, steal candy, deposit Jack O Lanterns, and smash Jack O Lanterns, to change your Karma score
- Event will end November 1st. Candy Shop will close November 8th.
Challengers have arrived!
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 5 Oct 2017, 10:22 pm
Hey all! Just a quick update to let you all know that two new battlegrounds are available:
Challengers & Fierce Fighters.
We're experimenting with a new system with the Challengers battleground. The odds of receiving a Kitsune mini-pet should increase after each battle until it eventually drops for you. Once that particular Kitsune drops, you'll no longer receive this bonus. If all goes well, we'll use this system for future additions. 
Spooky.
Please Note:
While there is a small chance of a Kitsune dropping in the Fierce Fighters battleground, it does not use the new system.
Due to this system having a large amount of variance, there has not been a tremendous amount of testing. Please report any issues you encounter!

"It is my distinct pleasure to bring you all the wonderful news of the upcoming Dragonsmaw Manor yearly festival, the festivities will begin on October 15th. I’d suggest that you prepare your Herbalists, they’ll be working hard soon. The citizens of our fair town are quite excited to be hosting all of you for this event so please do come by and visit."

Um, big thanks to Mayor Chester for stopping by to help out...I think.
Ok, I have just one last thing for you guys, a bit of warning that we are planning to remove the Worker Slot Totems from the Feast prizes and replace them with a new item. The totems seem to be providing an unfair advantage in the contest, which was not our intent. Totems will be a craftable item once the switch happens.
Thanks for reading, see you all again soon!
