Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. It looks like last June's Planet Patrol team winners should be announced shortly - check out the new prizes in the wishlist. May is a fairly quiet month in Mara's calendar. I only see Lost Sock Awareness Day and Battle Booster. This would probably be a good time to work on Drew quests and build up your vouchers for Pride Week coming up the end of June.

If you are looking for a new banner for your profile or signature, skip down to the end for some non-seasonal banners designed by SugarNuttyK23. Here is a link to all of our banners: https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=504080&id=2039393

Hi everyone,

We have already started transitioning into the May items. I am starting to put items into auctions. Keep checking in to see new items. Feel free to add your own items as well. i know all the club members appreciate it.

If you would like to donate or auction items, in May we are focusing on the following:
socks, boosters, trading cards, items needed for Labyrinth (corrupt codes, charms, magnets, hostage ransoms , venom , voodoo dolls) , eclipse items, bee items, bug items, bug minis (Ants for Tableaus Temple) , Anthill prizes (Cds, DVDs, books, etc.) , ladybird, ladybug, butterfly, Queen Bee items (especially the new ones) , buzzy, buzzing, items from previous wars - Light Side, Dark Side, Battle for Marada, Sultan, Zetzilla (save Gobble War items for Thanksgiving), rainy items, Nimbus items, Simerian slates for Slate Pyramid, balls of yarn, tornado items, twister items, lightning items, storm items (except snow) , thunder, weather events (drizzle, drought, heatwave, rain, tornado, sandstorm) (SAVE GLITCHED/CYBER & BLACKOUT FOR JULY AND SNOW FOR DECEMBER ) , melted items, sewer(s) items, May items
NOTE - for auctions, add in crystals & diamonds

AUCTIONS RULES REMINDER
1. No sniping at the last second if you don't already have a history of bidding on the particular item.

2. No drastic upbids. (No more than 10,000MP upbids.)The club Auction items are priced low to be advantageous to all our members.

3. There is a temporary limit of only bidding on 10 Active Auctions. We are looking for increased Club Auction activity from other members. (This means you should only bid for 10 at a time, but once your auctions are over, you can bid on more. You can have 10 active ones at any time.)

We are aware that all mp functions in the club are not working, so Poppi changed the club shop to club points and we have started raffles with club points as well.

WAYS TO EARN CLUB POINTS THAT ARE WORKING
9 Points per post on Club Chat
9 Points per item donated to the Club
9 Points x rarity of item donated
9 Points every time you enter the Club Quiz
9 Points every time you enter the Club Raffle
And through club events & club chat events

All three events I am hosting will award club points for participating and as top prizes this month. I'm a little scared, but Ian has promised us big stuff for May.
