Samanayrs 13th birthday and #1000 celebration!

[Sushidragon]

Welcome to the belated birthday celebrations Last month Samanayrs turned 13, and I turned.. quite a bit older than 13! In addition, we recently hit 1000 IDed Samanayrs, which is completely ridiculous and awesome XD The first IDed Sam was introduced to PI in May 2009, so that's 1000 Samanayrs - including over 60 by guest artists - in 3 years. Phew!

I'd like to say thank you to the Samanayrs community, especially our volunteers, guest artists, and regulars, for keeping Samanayrs fun and exciting I couldn't do it if it wasn't for you guys! Here's to many awesome years to come

The birthday events start today and will run until the end of the month, and when everything is wrapped up there will be a pet breeding season. Yay! Here's a schedule of events (subject to change):

Sorry everyone, today has been a 'lying on the couch feeling ill' kind of day so the epic 1000th Sam contest will start tomorrow!

[Seren]

Thats okay Sushi, just rest! Hopefully I will be able to get on sometime.... :/

[Jennalyn]

I sooo hope I'm here when the outline sale opens. I'm checking my phone periodically at work. Shoosh - bad Jenn. <3

[Origami_Dragon]

To set your mind at ease a bit Jenn, over on PI Sushi said that the outline sale should be from about 1pm PDT to 8pm PDT, and it sounds like it's going to be a 'put your name on a list to be randomized' style again rather than first come first serve.

Oh phew! That is indeed a relief. Thanks for sharing. I'll probably be at work 15 or so hours today and it looks bad when you're constantly peeking at your phone hour after hour. Heh.
