Intro: guys, i seriously can't believe we're hit our 3rd round of cyles here! that means we've been open for almost three or so weeks! anywho... asldjfsldjflsajdfal!

congrats: i wanted to make sure i thanked each and every one of you guys. i'm sure you probably saw already but the rp has just been featured! barely 3 weeks in! i can't tell you guys enough how happy I am... how often i swore to myself that we wouldn't even get half this far... but i'm so grateful... to all of you. i truly am. so thank you for staying this long and keeping us open and making this place so wonderful. 'moon scent' would honestly be nowhere without such kind members.

heat: as you know, with a new week, we've got a new round of cycles! same rules apply, so if you're new, please refer to this announcement for a reminder of how things go. keep in mind, i'm making the cycles a weekly thing until every status in every pack has had one... after that, the cycles will probably only be biweekly. that or fewer statuses will be in a cycle at each time. so our next week's cycle will be the last one where 3 packs have statuses in the cycle at once time. ;u;

initiation: the event went way better than expected so thank you to all who participated! as you know, it's over now, so i'll unlock the other rooms and get rid of the event. if i see rooms from this event that are still active, i'll just move each one to the "outside" thread so you guys can keep rping.

puppies: the thing you've all been waiting for... i'm going to try and lay out everything at once, so bear with me. if you have any questions, please ask!
❂ you are only allowed to get pregnant after being here for a month. so i'll go by when your character was added, and start there. if you changed characters, that still counts. we try not to delete any charries, so just ask if you want to know how long you have to go. if you, however, have left and came back, your time starts over. most of the people here have been here since the first week, so they only have a week left! trust me, time goes by fast.
❂ you are allowed to choose whether or not you want someone to play your pups. if that person leaves, you can choose someone else to rp your pup or y ou can rp them on your own. it's up to you and your mate! we'll have a page open for 'puppy positions' if anyone is looking for an rper.
❂ on that note... and ia are not allowed. ever. i won't have that , and if i see it, you'll be kicked out immediately. no questions asked... no warnings. i'll keep a log of who has which pups so everyone knows who is related to whom (i mean legit ic relation, not our crazy ooc relationships).
❂ pups can grow... you can grow them into new characters for you to rp if you'd like. 
❂ pregnancies need to last at least 2 weeks (real time). if you want to extend it longer, you can!
❂ you give birth in animal form. i will be making a special hospital-like room for anyone who wants to give birth or have a check-up. it's like the clinic but more intense. this means more job positions will also be open!
❂ i will also be adding a room to determine how many pups you will be having. it will be a dice roll that can help us decide their little futures.
❂ as you know... if an alpha knots an omega during their heat, they can become pregnant... but here are the following catches...
❂ 2 omegas and 2 alphas can have a child once i open up the 'black market' in our next announcement. it'll feature items that will make this possible. however, keep in mind that the items will be very, very expensive. if you want this to happen sooner, you will have rpr's first option of a surrogacy... in which an omega (or a breedable beta) of your choice carries your child. this will be further explained in the 'surrogacy' room when i add it in our next announcement.
❂ any pregnancy involving a beta must still go through the 'trial of ashes'. any items i add in the shoppe for beta pregnancy will still cost the needed 1000 points, so--- just spam, babies ; u ; you'll be fine! 
❂ you don't have to be mated to have pups! if you want pups without a mate, surrogacy is a sure option... i'll be making the list of any available omegas who want to bear a child that they'll have to give away. they will still be allowed to see the baby, but the child is yours. if you're a single alpha, surrogacy is your option. if you're a single omega, you will be allowed a donation from the same surrogacy room. if you are a single beta, just reach the 'trial of ashes' (1000 points) and you will be allowed either a donation from an alpha or surrogacy by an omega.
❂ lastly... pups are allowed to grow. after the first month, every 2 weeks will be equal to another year. if you want to slow it down more, you can! but please don't speed it up. 

ending: this was so much information, so please read and reread when you are ready to have kids! ;; if you have any questions, just ask. if i make any changes, i'll update in the next announcement. next week, look forward to: surrogacy list, the birthing room, and the black market...
this week... majority ruled, so here and here you go!
if you made it this far and read it all, please comment your character's name and what parts you liked best in the announcement (don't say all or none).
