ADVENT CALENDAR 2011
With winter comes the advent calendar and festive spirit fills the air. This is one of the most exciting times on CS and gives us an opportunity to celebrate the holidays together.
But what can you expect from this event? Is there something you need to know? Want to talk about what's going on?
This is the place to ask these questions. There will be a list of frequently asked questions placed at the bottom of the thread, so please check if your question is there before asking.
Oh and one more thing...?
NO COUNTDOWNS.
Do not post things like 'Oh only 6 minutes to go!'. This is spam. We do not need to know. Thankyou.
Pets grow and new items/pets are released at 12am GMT. To see what time it is in GMT click here.
NO TRADE TALK.
Do not post asking for trades, offering trades, or discussing trades. The trade area is for that. Thanks.
NO SPAM.
This includes double posting, saying something completely unrelated, etc. These will be reported and/or deleted. If you want to spam use the xat chat.
NO BASHING THE OUTCOMES.
Do NOT, and I repeat it, do NOT bash any outcomes/lineart on this thread or any other. This means being incredibly rude to the artist, and that you are breaking one of CS' rules, which is to respect other members. Yes, artists are members as well.
I will remake the thread if and when it reaches 900 pages. Anything less is not necessary.

Questions and Answers
What IS the advent calendar?
- Every year CS hosts an advent calendar. Each day you will be able to adopt new pets or items until Christmas to celebrate the holiday season.
- There will be a big banner on the main page advertising it, but you can also access it by clicking
- It's Christmas. The layout change is not permanent, you can go change it back to the standard green if you like. Click here and change your 'Board Style' to change it.
- Unfortunately most of the items/pets are only available for one day. You will either have to trade for them or wait to see if they are released again.
- Usually there are many different outcomes during the advent calendar, but do not fret! There will be a swap thread located here. As well, sometimes boxes with certain pets or items will be released multiple times. Usually the item will say so.
- The artists have all put a lot of work into the advent calendar, and since we will be getting so many new pets and items, there are fewer monthly pets.
- Last year, not only did we celebrate Christmas, but Hannukah and Kwanzaa as well. CS tries to recognize all holidays, not only Christmas.
- On December 18th you will have the opportunity to adopt two pets that are very special. They are usually older pets, perhaps VR '08s or '09s. You also have a chance to adopt a UR, or un-released pet, and this is when new URs pop up. For more information on this please click here.
- Usually the advent calendar ends on December 25th [Christmas] but we won't know until Tess announces it.
- This thread shows all monthly outcomes as well as advent outcomes but I will also be keeping the second post updated with each day's presents as well.
