Is it fair parents make us do chores? Is it fair you have to go to bed at a certain time? Is it fair that you have to do homework? Well... actually the answer is YES, to all the above. But come on, now -- we have a freedom of speech, in the USA, anyways. Why not learn a little before school starts, and exercise our rights!

There's a new thing going around Whyville... I guess you could call it the BEST Whyville deal to happen yet: it's the NEW Whyville Y-Pass, the one where if you buy it, your face parts don't expire!! Whoa, what a deal! Yeah, you buy it and your face parts will never ever go away, Whyville is sure to make serious bucks, dough, moola, money, off of this one!!! Everyone will be buying it within the midsummer time you're allowed. But let's break it down, and figure out what we really know about it: scam or not?

Well, firstly, the deal has been postponed -- it might not be available to us after all. When it was first announced, we knew that you couldbuy it while the midsummer sale was still on. I'm not sure if they gave a date out or not when the sale was to expire. We also knew that once you've purchased and redeemed it, you may then be free to buy face parts without the hassle of expiration dates. Seems pretty good to me, so far. But what information is still missing? A lot. Once you've bought the pass, redeemed it, bought parts, and do other things around whyville, there's still questions to ask. I'm still not sure: why spend my allowance or hard earned money, when I'm far from positive on the following things:

1. Do parts start the countdown of 90 days once the pass expires?
    Editor: City Hall is currently debating the value to having this.  We don't want to divide Whyville into "have's" and "have-not's".  But, if it does happen, then the answer to this question is Yes.
2. If question 1 is no, Do parts you buy only while the pass is still intact not expire?
    Editor: The idea is that everything's put on hold while you have the Pass. If a part has 40 days left on it when you start the Pass, it will have 40 days after the Pass is done.
3. How long does the pass last?
    Editor: One standard pass lasts one month.  You can buy as many as you want, of course -- and don't forget about bidding on Why-Passes. If you win the bid, you can get a Pass for as low as $2.
4. When does the middsummer sale last till?
    Editor: The Sale has been postponed; look out for it in the City Hall announcements when you first log in to Whyville!
 
With those questions, I'm reminding you to always *LOOK* into the product before assuming the answers. This is FlyGurl89, signing off, and hoping you picked whether you should buy the pass or not.
