So, I've been thinking about buying Premium for a while. I like the idea of an extra pet spot, it will be used for a draik. And lockdown means I have some spare cash floating around. I've also had a Jetsam on my hands that I quite liked the name of, but Jetsam's aren't really my thing. I then learned that you get a species change with Premium. More importantly, most importantly, if your pet is in a colour that your new species doesn't have, you get to change it to any colour you want!!! So. For 180,000np I bought a water Kau morphing potion. My Jetsam very briefly turned into a water cow. He was rather affronted at this. But then, then, I bought Premium for a month. I will likely upgrade it to a four month plan later, but for the moment a month was all I needed. And I clicked 'species change'. And I clicked 'Poogle'. And I got told that water doesn't exist for Poogle so would I like to change my colour to one that can be used for this species. And I said yes please, thank you, I would like that very much. I think... I think... I'll have THIS ONE! Once I have the Slorg avatar I will then put him with a plushie petpet and he will have gone from my most bemoaned pet to my favourite pet in the whole darn universe! He is a tiny bit confused from all the shape shifting, but he'll get over it! Edit: Now customised to my happiness. I want the Dapper Poogle Hat, but I think I'll wait for the inflation to go down on that particular item first!

Hi guys, I'm going to postpone the entering period for this round by one week. I'm in the process of buying a house (yay) and it. is. exhausting. I hope I'll be able to catch up on some sleep this week, so I'll be able to give this round the attention it deserves. My apologies!

I know this isn't a huge achievement in the grand scheme of things and many of you can get 14 goals quite easily, but this is the first time I've managed it so whoot, whoot, whoot!

It would be great to have just a little insight. I really hope it is that it is casual players letting teams down, and not actual code that counts up the amount of members in a team, divides by the number of games played, and consequently punishes those with a poor showing. Nah, surely not?? That'd be pretty punitive. I wonder about the faerieland thing though, isn't the "a lot of kids join that team then don't play" thing a bit of a long-standing tale that's maybe no longer accurate? I see a few people say it but there really aren't many kids on Neo now. Ok, I'm gonna do some researching using the Money Tree! So out of 20 people on one page of the Money Tree: 14 didn't sign up - 7 of which are brand new accounts - those with older accounts have never competed. apart from one who joined LD in 2011, clearly hated it and has never joined up again since, lol. Out of the rest:- Maraqua: signed up but didn't compete - 4 month old account Roo Island: Rank 1 - 18 yr. old account Darigan Citadel: signed up but didn't compete - 3 month old account Meridell: Rank 5 - 15 yr.old account Kiko Lake: Rank Beginner - has played in 8 ACs but only to get participation trophy Huh. I realise the Money Tree wasn't a good place to find people for this, as most of the people who give to it are new players who've not yet learnt the all-important Neopian mantra of HOARD ALL THE THINGS. xD Nice to see all those new accounts though! *tries Kadoatery instead* Alrighty then! Out of 20 Kadders, with join year 3 didn't sign up: 1 joined 2006 and has only played once and didn't do much, one's a brand new account but old player, last has played in 6 previously but only got participation medals. The rest:- Krawk Island: All-star(2008); beginner(2005); beginner(2011); Darigan Citadel: All-star(2010); rank 1(2009); All-star(2005) ; All-star(2005); Beginner(2004 - joined every year just for participation medal) ; All-star(2018) Terror Mountain: All-star(2005) Shenkuu: All-star(2009)(also, my friend Aya ) Maraqua: All-star(2006) Roo Island: Rank 12(2005) Meridell: All-star(2010); All-star(2005) Brightvale: All-star(2005) Roo Island: All-star(April 2020) That's quite telling, isn't it! Out of 20 people DC has the lion's share, that's interesting. I know it's way too small a group of people to be able to draw any proper conclusions. But one thing REALLY stands out. People who are into the AC work hard for their team, look at all those AS ranks! I admit Kadders are maybe also liable to be a little on the obsessive side? So AS ranking kind of to be expected? If doing this wasn't so flippin' time-consuming I'd go through things like the Wishing Well and Lottery winners too.

I'm gonna have to pay full price for my stocks. Also, I've lost 10k from my bank interest. #neopianworldproblems But yeah, so long CC perks, it was great while it lasted! I wonder if the particularly vociferous CC-haters on the boards will be piping down now... because I suspect that despite their very vocal disdaining of CC, they all have these two big perks! I'm very much hoping CC will be along after the AC. As the summer's pretty open for events it seems reasonable to hope for CC during July? As it's an event that basically needs 13 months for the event to run and then for the perks to expire it happening soon after the AC will set it up for a schedule for the next three years maybe, until it's butting up against Hallowe'en and then it'd need to jump to Spring again I suppose. This is all pie in the sky ofc, it might not happen at all! I'm a strong believer in the power of wishful thinking though. I enjoy CC, and I suppose my entire Neopian behaviour revolves around prepararion for it to a certain extent, I spend the entire year doing my Dailies with Intent; the items I collect from the Money Tree are all r80+ to be saved for CC, and I buy Sticky Snowballs from the Healing Springs throughout the day. No other spending than those 25 NPs for those though. I taught myself the Money Tree items (pretty proud of my MS-addled brain for managing it, but, you know, repetition and all that, basic learning technique). I saved them in JN wish lists until I knew them. Obsessive, much? xD I'll share the link to my list once JN's stopped being broken, so anyone else who wants to be as obsessive of me can be! >8D As an aside, how are the smilies behaving for you? You'll notice I used the neopets ones as the forum ones - apart from having reverted to a much earlier version which is neither here nor there - are taking about a year to load lately so I gave up trying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got it! Got lucky with those last 3 goals.

The ray is fired at Critoh... ... and she gains 4 maximum hit points!!!! What a cutie Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

I assume so? It's relatively young and not a super popular land. I know we got 3rd place one of the years I played, but I'm pretty sure there must have been a cheater team backing Moltara that year. In other news I think this is my best score this season. I'd like to get a 16 point game but I always seem to get one ball that takes ages to get back from the other team.

They all went vegan this month , except for Alsou who chose .. WHAT ?! Does she think this'll help her singing ?

Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

Congratulations on being a home owner! Looking forward to the Pirate entries! - Although my Lutari may have you all beat....

I'm back and I have entered this most fantastic runway!

The ray is fired at Chekem_MC_Junior... ... and she changes into a Green Koi!! I see that Ray has decided to go with an UNDER THE SEA theme... Maybe a Morphing Potion CAN be a girl's Best Friend? Sorely tempted. But I have 3 Extra Zaps this week, so I'll try to see if Ray will provide something Incredible...eh? At least the Flotsam stayed Fish-like. Last ZAP of the night-... and she gains two levels!!! And this is how you LOOK? 06/23/2020 The Sea Adventure stops ... and he changes into a Yellow Acara!! And now the Golden Jungle Experiment continues I know the Body Glow doesn't show it, but he is no longer a Fish-he is a Yellow Acara!LOL 06/24/2020 Well, the Jungle Experiment ends bc the Yellow Acara bc a Woodland Acara I think she could be a dream Pet for someone, so I am putting her in with Timmy the Island Turtmid I hope she finds her Dream Owner!!!

Okay! Okay! @Angeló and @Duma I did the 10 Battles!

Thanksgiving isn't until November dude , cheer up Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

finally something I consider worthy of posting.

The ray is fired at darkinvention... ... and he changes colour to Shadow!! It's like a cross between Pinky the brainiac mouse and a GremlinWhoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that. Hey Look .. it's my worst nightmare !!!Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

And two 15 goal matches today!! First time since they changed the game to the new design I think. First time 15-1, but second time... second time...

Ah! Nice! I've tried to refresh for 10 straight minutes for that one and haven't gotten it yet. Glad to know that it is possible! In other news I'm very addicted to Godori now. Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Godori' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

i thought bringing my laptop to my night shift would motivate me to play A LOT but I only did 10 YYB games i cant focus while expecting a phone call from the ER every 10 minutes .. even if they don't call .. i have to stay alert

Oh my! Also it being in an NM from Tracy will please her greatly, I'm very sure! If you're in the Terror Mountain area and you hear some shouting later, you'll know it's because she's opened my mail telling her about the avatar. xD OH, alsooo. Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Poogle Racing Winner' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Turmaculus' as an avatar on the NeoBoards! My lab petpet is gone xD But I won't visit Turmaculus again :3

The ray is fired at Tiny_berry... ... and she loses two levels Same old, same old from Ray today! But look at this! CUTE! Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, awesome As for me... The ray is fired at Critoh... ... and she changes into a Yellow Kiko!! No thanks Critoh licks their lips and says mmmmm before turning into a Red Poogle!!!

I, too, am hoping for a Desert Outcome with Chekem_MC_Junior ! Yesterday he went from Disco King to Father Time! Meet the Oldest Altador Cup Krawk Island Fan 06/09/2020 A different kind of success... a Gender Change gave me her dentures back! (I accidentally deleted them before). So HAHAHA, Lab Ray Dude, I needed those dentures back & now I got them! (my maniacal laughter rings out!) 06/15/2020 A new Lab Color You could say that this is the natural progression of Life (in Neopia), first you get old (Elderly) and then you turn to "DUST" ( or Clay)! What's more 'dusty' than clay? ... and she changes colour to Relic!! Chalk up another collar, actually 2 today. Ray was very generous. MEAN! But generous. Did you think Chekem had reached the end of the natural progression of a Neopet in Neopia? HA! ... and she changes colour to Zombie!! Of course, becoming Undead was the next stage! Another new collar and "clothes" to add to my Aishas' wardrobe or threads? Looks like she could use those ElderlyGirl Dentures! Yikes! So scary looking! She is a Spirit with KI Team Spirit! 06/19/2020 The Reign Of Aishas is over, at least for Chekem_MC_Junior ... and she changes into a Blue Flotsam!! Ask any mermaid, you happen to see... What's the best Flotsam? Chicken of the Sea! Which is why she's not in water, right? Too scared to swim.

We've also put together a very helpful assortment of information for the Altador Cup. You can find it here: https://thedailyneopets.com/altador-cup/index

So, browsing Reddit - because according to my husband I am a giant child!) - I just saw this: Not me, I hasten to add. The most I've won from that thing is a slimy lollipop or 31np...

I normally follow Garet on Food Club, but something rung bells at me that he was letting greed take over common sense so I used his bets as my basis and shifted two of the ten bets so they were boosting the four arenas rather than including a fifth. Garet tanked at 0.10. I on the other hand... Dances! And done it two days in a row!! Slightly lower returns but still 7:1 when Boochi tanked.

Did you take into account that they started a day late? Also, I think a lot of people would prefer an off day on Mondays instead of on a Sunday. A lot more people are at home and actually have time to play games on Sundays instead of on a work day where there's barely time. Not everyone is stuck at home due to COVID. Just checking it each day is the safest way really.

Congrats on your wins today! Playing YYB against your team took forever lol. Your forward and goalie are sure aggressive. Your forward kept stealing the yooyu form me at the start of the game before I even had the chance to get my hands on it first, Then I'd have to chase it around the field. Your goalie blocked a lot of my shots too, which I have to say was annoying lol. I'm glad Faerieland could keep you from obtaining a sweep!

An interview was written years ago about these clockwork yooyu's! This is what "could" happen:

To all far and near, it is now 20 years since the introduction of the Techo! Thank you alll for supporting me and here's hoping for 20 more!

15-0 and a roomba loaded with kittens is still a big deal tho

I like to think that, too, but it's not certain, and I just don't know. If TNT would add that, then I'd feel a little bit better. Still, don't like the little guy/gal exploding. I wonder if we could get the PPL involved?! However, they have THE BEST after-score animation, as they do "the robot". Always makes me laugh!

They don't. These are the only two games I play during the AC and I've never been bothered by them pesky Captchas.

Lucky? Seemed like it initially. But wait, what is this... CC perks have expired: lost 10k from my bank interest; gotta pay full whack for my stocks - suddenly seems somewhat suspicious that Sloth was lurking on the bargain stocks page!

I didn't post my zaps yesterday! It was more stat changes for Berry, same as today! The ray is fired at Tiny_berry... ... and he loses 3 movement points!!!! petpet turned into a Sketch Hasee though. and today... Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that. That's considerably less terrifying than the desert spiders the media delighted in horrifying us with pictures of during the Gulf War...

Thanks! I played one previous AC seriously and reached rank 17 in total - I just checked the stats on it on a rank calculator and it would have got me All Star this year!! I'll see how far I get with it! I'd like to at least hit All-Star, particularly as the ranks are easier to progress through. And yes, at least you can continue to earn prize points at the same time as helping your team out once All-Star has been achieved!! I got taken by surprise this year as I was definitely expecting the cap to be higher than 46! Says how long I've been inactive really!!

Cirplex is back to the Pound I'm sure a Robot Eyrie will be picked up quickly , even when they're nekked Meet Hoxko the Blue Eyrie (name is suitable for Desert so let's hope this one does turn into Desert) Project Desert Eyrie Day 16 The ray is fired at Hoxko... ... and he loses 3 defence points!!!! The ray is fired at darkinvention... ... and he changes colour to Spotted!! Hello Tiger Hello other TigerWhoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

Just got my first 15-0 against Roo Island I've had more than one vs. Tyrannia but I didn't think I can do it against 2+2 formation

Project Desert Eyrie Day 15 All the heartache and complaining and bad luck paid off in the end It's not Desert but OMG that is an amazing zap The ray is fired at Cirplex... ... and she changes colour to Robot!!

I went to Houston's Protest on Tuesday. I couldn't keep silent about George Floyd's death and the many, TOO MANY, other deaths of people of color. Pictured here his family leading our protest- Gianna Floyd-his 6 year old daughter and her mother Roxie Washington . Don't be silent. If you see someone being mistreated, stop-pull out your phone, and let them know that they are going to be held accountable for what they are doing.

Thanks!! That's really useful to know! I did the opposite and played 49 odd games on the first day, not realising the cap was in effect!

I was under the impression that YYB cap is 42 games and I played that much on the first day But yesterday I was able to Max

I want to max out SOSD daily, and I'm planning on going for All Star. But we'll see how I feel once my second class starts up. Edit: and it doesn't look like it'll happen today either. Hopefully everything's functional tomorrow.

I have several goals. 1) Rank higher than last year, All-star, if possible (Only got to All-star once). 2) Improve my GPG (Goals Per Game average) Last Year's final average was 12.8 (rounded up) With 2,658 goals in 208 games. 3) Get enough prize points to actually afford the freakin' Stamp this year! 4) Try again to score 18 goals in 1 game of YYB. My best score on record is 17-0 over the years. So far, I only managed 6 games last night, but scored 78 total goals from those 6 games. Even had 2 games at 15 goals scored. Counting the 2 games I've played today so far (15 and 14 goals respectively), my GPG average so far is 13.25, with 106 goals in 8 games. *sigh* I wish points scored counted toward Prize Points. I MEANT to inquire if that could be doable by TNT but I forgot until the AC was already upon us. Whoops!

Yesterday I did just 10 YYB / 100 SOSD / 50 MSN Today I managed to max out YYB (RIP my wrist) / 100 SOSD / 41 MSN That leaves me in level 4 and hopeful that I can manage all star again this year. And as for All Star not being enough to get the top prizes: well, I'll first hit that and then figure out if I still have it in me to keep playing
